Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Biscotti

I have mad respect for people who can  edit pictures well.  It's most definitely an art and a skill that I don't possess.  I probably don't have to tell you that I don't edit hardly any of my pictures.  And if I do attempt to do some editing - it's because I have to crop my finger out of the corner of the photograph.  🤦🏻‍♀️😅
​
Every once in a while, I accidentally manage to capture an image that looks so beautiful - it looks like I worked some photo editing magic on it.  

This is a picture of the Perry Monument at sunset.  I was amazed by the beautiful colors in the water and I didn't know if I could capture its essence in a photograph but I gave it a shot anyway.  And since I'm the queen of #nofilter - my only hope was to catch the sunset at just the right moment.  

I feel the same way when I photograph food for my blog.  I don't feel like my pictures always represent my food in the best light. #punintended 😅 Sometimes, I just can't seem to get the lighting or the composition or the background the way that I want it.   Even though a picture doesn't change how the food tastes, it definitely affects  peoples perception of it so I want to represent it well.

I may never be an expert photo editor - but I hope that I can at least peak your interest in my food through my photographs.  Maybe one day, I'll take a class or two and learn how to edit my pictures to make them more professional looking.  For now - just bear with me and know that the food that I make is almost always "better than it looks." 😅

Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Biscotti is something that's been in my blog cue for quite a while but I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to make it.  My summer trip to Northeast Ohio to visit my biscotti loving parents was the excuse that I needed to finally make it.  

​If you are a biscotti fan - you need to try these dairy-free biscotti loaded with butterscotch and chocolate chips.  They're perfect to dip in your morning coffee or to snack on after dinner.  Either way - I think you're going to like these.

Butterscotch chips are my weakness.  I cannot seem to open a bag without sampling a few.  They're delicious in everything - especially these crunchy biscotti.
