The official FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY thread!

I started to take pix of the pre-assembly foods and keep them on my computer to refer back to them.

Tell me I'm not the only one. Chat Icon


Okay, these are what I have right now. This was the prep for Pita night, so it's a couscous salad, the stuffing (olives, feta, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, the yogurt sauce).

The next one is a veggie platter.

Share!!! Maybe it will inspire a new dinner idea for someone else! Chat Icon

sure!

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained & finely chopped
½ tsp. bottled minced garlic
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 cups thinly sliced fresh spinach leaves
1 ¼ cups shredded provolone
1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
1 tsp. olive oil
2 tsp. cornmeal
1 can refridgerated pizza crust dough


Preheat oven to 425.

Pat chopped artichokes dry with paper towel. Combine with garlic, salt, and pepper. Add spinach leaves, cheese, chicken, and toss.

Brush oil over baking sheet, and sprinkle with cornmeal. Unroll dough onto baking sheet cut into 6 equal portions. Pat each portion into a rectangle. Spoon ¾ cup spinach mixture into center of each dough portion. Fold one corner over to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal. Bake at 425 for 12 minutes or until golden.

It's so easy! Serve with marinara sauce.
