A: Um, I got new cookbooks instead of textbooks, spent my financial aid money at the farmer's market, and I forgot to study medicine. Completely.

I'm hoping these dishes occurred over a span of at least a few weeks. Otherwise the title of your post could have been, "Ella -- How did you manage to gain 40 lbs during a single weekend?"
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
Lol. Yes, these are a few dishes I've made this year. Not all at once. But honestly, I feel so much healthier eating home-made food and skipping processed food. It's great!!
ReplyDeletewait.. all of that was you? that's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYep. Everything is from raw ingredients.... and I made it all from scratch. Except the pasta. I did use packaged noodles... but making my own noodles is next on my list. But I made the pesto :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. I wish I could cook like that.
ReplyDeleteWow! It all looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteWell, if you do flunk out of med school, it seems like you might have a future in the culinary world! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI was definitely thinking along the lines of Old MD Girl and wondering if this was all made at once! You could have fed a small nation with all that food, haha! The filet and the soup look particularly delicious, though!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! I can barely tackle ONE of these things at once. Usually I invite somebody over to help.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful food. At first I thought it was just going to be a few pictures, and then I kept scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling.
ReplyDeleteDo you read food blogs? One of my favorites is: http://chocolateandzucchini.com Whole foods, although a lot of baked stuff, too. I know, I know, probably shouldn't be suggesting new ways to procrastinate..but it's still summer!
These look like professional photos! AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Photography and cooking are my two fav past-times...
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome...would love the flourless cake recipe!
ReplyDeleteIf you google Reine de Saba + Julia Child it should come up. It is kinda complicated but soooo worth it.
ReplyDeleteOk seriously, those look really good!!! I love cooking too! :)
ReplyDeletewhat kind of camera/ lens do you use to take all these pictures?
