This recipe is more of a basic ratio of sticky to dry, for making whatever kind of no-bake granola bar or protein balls your heart desires. You can put almost anything in these, it’s a great way to use up all those odds and ends kicking around in the back of your pantry. You can…

Grey. All that is January is so grey. The cabin fever of winter is starting to take it’s toll on me, as I’m sure it is you. But don’t fear… boring food’s nowhere near! -20 degrees outside? Crank up some CDZA on YouTube and get baking up a storm in the kitchen. CDZA is a…

Additions to the prop collection: 1 small matte finish white bowl, 1 small matte finish white plate, 1 package of white linen napkins. Setting up the shot: 12 seconds.

Well Holy Hell, it’s 2015! It’s been weeks since I shared anything with you, and I’m sorry. I’ve been busy with work, out of town for Christmas, then back to busy work! But alas, I’m off for a few days and the madness has subsided. Thankfully. I don’t know about you all, but I’m really glad…
