New Food Blog

I was inspired by Christine to start using a blog for my food posts. Chris is going to be posting with me - he prepares most of the meals for us during the week. He loves trying new recipes which keeps it interesting. I like cooking, but I love baking. I know we won't be posting every day on the new food blog like I do on this one, but hopefully a couple times a week. Check it out - even though it is pretty bare at the moment.

21 of 21 - Sheep

I made it!

I don't know if I did exactly what I was suppose to for this challenge, but I had a lot of fun and it was great to see all the other folks work. I created this illustration completely in Photoshop, which isn't my normal way. Usually I like to use illustrator and a little Photoshop. I like it. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Jewel studded leaves

These leaves looked so beautiful sparkling in the morning sun. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Baking - Oatmeal-Raisin Bars

A tasty treat I made recently.

I altered the recipe by replacing white flour with whole wheat flour. I think it turned out great - so if you prefer eating whole wheat flour this recipe is flexible. Oh, and since we were both wanting something with a little chocolate in it, I did half raisins and half semi-sweet chips. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

19 of 21 - Bookmark

This is a character I drew in my sketchbook last night, I thought I would get it on the computer.

I'm going to use it for a bookmark. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Green Bee Tips

I have been meaning to create a little "green" icon for my side bar and for whenever I want to share some green knowledge, sites, and products. These are a few that I wanted to share today.

50 Ways to Help
I love this page - the icons are wonderful and the clean design just appeals to me overall. Great tips!

The Green Guide
This site is one of the sections on the National Geographic web site. It is very informative site that gives green living tips, product reviews and environmental health news.

The Green Guide - What you should know about plastics

Rethink Design
Great information for the designer and their projects.

I hope you find these helpful. I will start updating my side bar with links with future links for easy access.

This is also my illustration for 21 day creative challenge - 18 of 21. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Planting - Dead heading

I have been deadheading (new term for me) the Rhododenrons and this was a collection of all the red blooms. This color of blooms is really odd to photography - every shot the color looks way off. I mostly liked this image for the background - I love the scattering of light and color. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Baking - Coconut-Pineapple Loaf Cake

I made a Coconut-Pineapple Loaf Cake today. It was a new recipe in the recent FOOD magazine.

Ingredients

Pre-baked

...and done! It is a tasty cake - the recipe asks for pineapple chunks, thought next time I will crush down the pineapple to slightly smaller sizes. But it is a great cake and not too sweet.

I had nothing for creative challenge today, some thing tomorrow I hope! Tweet Follow @kellymedina
