Your pictures were great inspiration… my daughter wanted to do everything she saw in her pictures- she sprinkled spices on the table and asked for a glass jar to put the rest of the spices in ;) I am having fun involving my daughter in the blogging process!Julie@teachinggoodeatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299361735005931044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-5536335416203478152013-11-22T21:20:32.904-08:002013-11-22T21:20:32.904-08:00Your stuffed green pepper soup looks great in your...Your stuffed green pepper soup looks great in your photo, and what a fun thing to be able to do together with your daughter! Who knows, she may decide to be a food stylist when she grows up? (Or a blogger, like her mama!) Keep up the experimenting, researching, and looking for inspiration. :) You can definitely get great pics with a point & shoot if that's what you have to work with.Carissa@Pretty/Hungryhttp://www.prettyhungryblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-59036606534399668932013-11-22T09:33:09.126-08:002013-11-22T09:33:09.126-08:00Thanks for your comments Kendra… As for #1 that...Thanks for your comments Kendra… As for #1 that's why I'm so conflicted… The two lunches you described are, in I think just about anyone's view, clearly unacceptable, but if a line is drawn… where?? Who says what and where the line should be, and once it starts, where will it end… But, at the same time, I'm incredibly sad for the kids with only potato chips or a pudding cup for lunch. As for the woman who was fined… that's the thing. She was involved in trying to implement standards for healthier lunches and then got caught in it… Even at home, I may have certain standards for what "healthy," is but I don't always stick to them, and sometimes I change my mind completely… I'll keep trying for Instagram, thanks for the advice!Julie@teachinggoodeatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299361735005931044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-60486182068646577072013-11-22T09:06:44.154-08:002013-11-22T09:06:44.154-08:00Hmm.

And the other day, another child with just a pudding cup.<br /><br />Although I happen to be friends with someone who has a friend who knows the lady who was "fined," and there's a bit more to the story. That mom was on the board that voted to accept that policy and knew full well that her lunch lacked a grain when she packed it. She figured no way they would fine a board member, right? <br />And also she wasn't ever actually charged any money.<br /><br />And for point 6, if you think of Instagram as Twitter with pictures, it's more fun. If you have a fun thought, or would tweet what you're doing right now, take a picture of it! Then post it on IG. You can still share it to your Twitter and/or FB pages, for added fun. (I have my FB page auto-post to Twitter, and Twitter auto-posts to my personal FB page, so I can choose to show stuff to everyone by posting on my page, or just Twitter (where I have fewer followers) and friends for shameless plugs and giveaway entries and other annoying spammy things that aren't as big a deal on Twitter, since the life of a tweet is only, like, 25 seconds or something.<br /><br />And for 3, I went to a great food photography panel and can send you my notes.
