Kelly Reece: I Love Food!!!!!!

Yeah.

I do.

Now that I'm older I can say this without worry of judgement. I look forward to eating and cooking... and truth be told... taking pictures of what I've made. Food is pretty. I have a fresh market right in front of my house called Dean and Don's.

not my picture

this one isn't either

I ride my bright orange cruiser bike there all the time with a Swiss Army back pack and always end up buying more than I should. It's just so pretty!!!! Fruits and veggies stacked on top of each other in massive barrels apparently makes me purchase without concern.

So I make a lot of food to compensate for my extensive purchases! And being a photographer lover, I take pictures of that food. And being a food lover I eat that food! Then I realize I've got to make another bike ride to the fresh market. It's a viscous cycle.

Lemon sale?? Lemonade YES!

Homemade guacamole with their awesome avocados. I don't care that they're chock full of calories. It's a fruit so the pros must outweigh the cons. It must!

Snap green beans, red potatoes and a side of bacon. This is a combination that no Southerner is stranger to.

Homemade Vegetable Stock. It's super easy and makes a big difference in taste. Use up those left over veggies and BOIL! Then pour into Ball jars.

I don't bake much, because I'm not good at it... but this bread is easy and can be sweeten or salty. Anything tastes good with it. I call it "I can't bake. Flat bread".

We're a snacking family. Especially Terry. He'll look in the fridge and if it can't be thrown together in 5 mins then "There's nothing to eat!!!". Try baguette slices and chevre. (goats cheese). Basil gives it a kick in the right direction too. ALKJASFKJA;LKDFJALKJDF;AKLJDSFK

Brie, crackers (of good quality) and McCutheon's Strawberry - Raspberry Preserves. If it's French, it's probably awesome. Honestly.

Whoa. A shot of Dad's Clean Your Plate Buttermilk Pancakes. This is a rare view. Normally they're annihilated immediately upon setting them on a table.
