new work for Magazine had me hunting for radishes in February. I’m a big fan of this humble vegetable so I was delighted to showcase their rainbow of colors! but I knew sourcing radishes so early in our growing season could be a bit of a challenge, but thanks to my pals at , I got the job done.

the opens tomorrow for the season and I’ll be looking for some radishes! my favorite ways to eat them: sliced thin to top on avocado toast with dukkah and lemon zest or quartered and dipped into whipped butter.

happy sunny Sunday, friends! it feels like warmer days are here at last and the below freezing nights are beyond us! I even got my vegetable garden started yesterday. onions and kale in the ground!

I’m thrilled to finally share these images I took early one September morning of my best gal for the latest issue of .

I’m constantly in awe of Laurel’s flower skills and am not ashamed to admit how many times I’ve text her with a gardening question. 😂 she has an absolute GIFT.

follow her flower farm for csa subscriptions, bouquet drops, and floral eye candy.

Sen Thai Noodles. but more than just noodles. for example: did you know they offer brunch on the weekends? it’s embarrassing to admit that I didn’t either. but take a gander at these dishes and I dare you not to droll on your screen.

well deserved Restaurant of the Year from . bravo !! and more from this shoot tomorrow.

I try really, really hard not to pick a favorite when shooting restaurants but when told me that Ken’s was named Rookie Restaurant of the Year I did a little dance in my seat!

I’ve been a long-time fan of Ken’s Artisan Pizza. standing in a line that wraps around the corner 30 mins before the doors even open doesn’t make me bat an eye because the pizza is THAT GOOD. and don’t get me started on the caesar salad!

the chef, the staff, the food, the ambiance, the EVERYTHING is so SO well done. is no rookie to the food scene but we’re sure darn happy to have them here in Bend!

if you missed my post yesterday, I had the honor of shooting the Restaurant Guide for the for the second year in a row! it’s just so special to me to be able to meet and share the excitement with the chef and staff for each location.

Food Truck of the Year goes to ! I had an absolute ball getting to know Jeff and watching him roll up delicious sushi. the Hyper Drip is not to be missed!

stop by their location and you may see me there. it’s a usual haunt!

the 2026 Restaurant Guide is OUT! it was an absolute honor to shoot the guide once again. not only have I eaten at every restaurant or food truck I photographed, but I’ve enjoyed every single bite I’ve tasted and savored every last bit!

first I want to share the Rookie Food Truck of the year - . the owners Robert and Trisha are just the kindest people ever! the first time I visited the truck, Robert offered me a sample of the most delicious beef, beans, and rice I’ve ever had. I settled on the pork sando but those beans and rice still have my mouth watering!

be sure to check them out at . more from the guide coming up!!

some recent photos I took for at showing their entire menu for easy online ordering. it’s a toss up on whether I’m ordering the Thai salad or the chicken sando with fries. 🤤

I’m about to start shooting my 7th cocktail book this month! I can’t share much about the theme just yet so in the meantime I thought I’d share a few favorite beverages shots while I’m gathering inspiration.
