I am so excited! I downloaded a book for taking better pictures of my food and I’ve only been reading it for a day now. Already, I’ve learned lots and I’ve been trying to shoot more in manual mode. Hopefully my pictures start impressing you guys! I’ve been trying to improve my photographs since starting this blog.
This orange chicken salad is so good and perfect to eat after a really good work out! I overdressed my salad with the dressing and that can really make a salad taste terrible sometimes so I made a new bowl of it. Think I’ll be having this for dinner. Peanut dressing would be really good with this salad also. The chow mein noodles give the salad a nice little crunch to it also. Added in some avocado.
