Baked in the South

Since getting my new Canon Rebel for Christmas, I have been thinking about ways to get the most use out of it, while practicing my photography & cooking.  I thought it would be fun to cook my way through this cookbook and photograph the finished product!  I just love Martha and she has some great recipes in this book! these are her frenchies: Francesca & Sharkey doesn't Francesca look just like King Louis?! I started last night on page 23 with the Mango Crab Stack!  and Roasted Shrimp with Artichokes & Fennel  I attempted to use my new camera to get a good photo, but I unfortunately don't have enough light is my kitchen.  So these shots were taken with my iPhone 4s and then I used Instagram filters to add depth of field!  I will attempt another shot when there is more light in the kitchen!

I am excited to start using my new DSLR!  I received the kit for christmas and it included the Canon EOS Rebel T3, two lenses, and a tripod!  Everything I need to get started!  I have also purchased the Canon 50mm lense which is supposed to be the best lense for portraits and close ups!
