I love me some Spaghetti Squash!! In the past few years I've found out that my body hates processed carbs :( So, I do a sort of modified low carb diet. Since I usually try to avoid as many carbs as I can during the week, my favorite new find has been Spaghetti Squash.

New sketchbook project - Stuffed Delicata Squash /
I’ve started my goals for the new year a bit early this year. One of them is writing more in my blog (check!) Along with that I’ve been working on sketching daily in my sketchbook as sort of a journal (I will talk more about this in a later post). I got an idea of a “project” to commit myself and to stay on track. So, I’m going to visually journal what I eat. Hopefully every day.
Read MoreFood Map of Italy /
This summer we are planning a trip to Italy. I've always had this romantic notion of driving through Italy and stopping at tiny little towns along the way...enjoying all of the food and coffee that I can. I decided to prepare for my trip by creating a map which shows the cuisine of Italy by region and city. This map has gotten a lot of love on Behance lately and was also featured on this terrific Interesting maps blog. This was a fun project, combining three of my favorite things to draw: maps, hand lettering and food! Here are a few snapshots.
Wandering Goose book /
I was at the coffee shop working today and I saw this lovely illustrated book on the shelf! The wandering goose is a local, Seattle cafe that specializes in southern style dining. They've put out a sweet little picture book illustrated by local illustrator and designer Frida Clements. She has a beautiful style of line drawing. I like her floral patterns. Here are a few snaps that I sneaked!
Food Illustration /
A while ago I created these illustrations for an overseas sandwich company. They wanted illustrations that depicted a few ingredients from each sandwich to be placed on the packaging. I love illustrating food so much, it's fun to find creative ways to show the deliciousness of unique food! It helps that I'm a total foodie and I am always looking for new recipes and combinations of ingredients to fulfill my need for diversity.
The first illustration is a sandwich with brie, green onions, egg and spicy dressing.
The second is ham, butter, edam cheese and pickles.
Ok., I'm a vegetarian so the second I would take sans-ham, but still!
