The assignment for my photography course this week is to bring objects into class so that we can learn to do portrait photography. The most difficult photo for me is to take pictures of the foods I cook. Even for the blog I feel my food looks so much better than my photographs portray. The stipulation for bringing food was make enough to feed the class. My choice was Monster Cookies. These Cookies could also be called Use The Ingredients You Have on Hand Cookies. It is based on a recipe found at Pioneer Woman.
