Chocolate Chunk Almond Oatmeal Cookies
Sharing a quick and easy chocolate chunk oatmeal cookie recipe with my favorite nuts – almonds.
Are these the most attractive cookies? No
But are they tasty? Yes!


I bought this lovely grey striped cloth since I felt it was time to update my cloth backdrops. I think the last time I bought any new accessories for food photography was 4 years ago!

I’ve always been a fan of color (especially blue) and used to think white was boring, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more fond of neutrals and whites. When we moved to our current apartment, I wanted a more “grown up” style and we traded our bright blue rug for a nice grey, and our patterned blue bedsheets and pillowcases for a solid white.
Maybe it’s Pinterest and Instagram influencing me, but I just feel white is more soothing. And it’s also a great photography backdrop as a natural light reflector.
