Coming Soon: Photo Upgrade!

I know! I know! I haven't shared any new recipes lately. My best excuse is that life has been hectic. I've done plenty of cooking, just nothing worth sharing that I haven't already posted on here. However, I do have something non-food related to share...

The Hubs (who is amazingly wonderful) heard my (not-so-subtle) requests for a new camera for my upcoming 1st Anniversary of my 29th Birthday (I'm still in denial that I'll be 30 in July). Earlier this week he surprised me with a Canon EOS Rebel t3i!! My birthday isn't for almost 2 more months, but we have some upcoming events that he knew I'd really want a good camera for, so he gave it to me early.

See??


I'm SUPER pumped because this means I can take MUCH better pictures for my blog recipes! Perhaps I should clarify...they photo quality will be better, I can't guarantee that the photography will be. I hope to eventually take a class to learn all the tricks of my camera & how to use it better, but for now I'm excited just to have such a nice, quality camera.

I've been taking pics around the house of random things to test it out like....

Flowers....


Our Globe....


And my baby girl, Cannon. Isn't she adorable?


I'm pretty sure she's tired of having her picture taken already. Luckily this weekend I will have plenty of other people & things to test my camera on.

I hope you all have a fun (and safe) Memorial Day weekend filled with friends, family & lots of yummy food, but more importantly - I hope you take time to remember what Memorial Day is truly all about. THANK YOU to all of those who have served our nation - especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
