I thought I'd share a look behind-the-scenes at the healthy eating photo shoot that ran with today's story and recipes. Andrea and I have to laugh when people approach us with the misconception that writing and shooting food is "glamorous." Often, we are at one of our houses with Andrea working away on dishes and me moving around furniture and unwrapping borrowed dishes while we both fight off a gaggle of dogs just waiting for a moment of weakness on our part. On this particular shoot, we were at my house and I had already shooed my 90-pound dog to the back yard. This, of course, opened a window for my 7-pound mutt, Franny, to leap up on a kitchen chair between my feet and literally try to snatch a pancake from the plate I was shooting. I caught her just before she dug into my styled dish but it was a close one.
