You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
So, I was thinking…
In my future recipe posts, would you be interested in seeing more photos of the process, as opposed to just the final product? Would that be at all helpful?
I’m warning you: the recipe-process photos won’t be pretty. I usually cook in my very tiny and very dark kitchen. And if I’m not there, I’m in my parents’ much bigger—but just as dark!—kitchen.
You know those gorgeous white kitchens you see on Pinterest?
Yeah, so not my kitchen.
Above, unfinished Copycat Peanut Butter Eggs.
And by “unfinished” I obviously mean “not yet covered in chocolate.” However, this didn’t stop me from eating one two of the eggs straight off the piece of parchment paper. Really, can you blame me?
And what’s this?
Why, it’s a giant ball of unshaped peanut butter dough.
Did I say my “in process” photos were ugly? I take it back! 
This looks like a painting.
An edible painting.
Peanut butter art?
Oh Van Gogh, you know you’re jealous.
I also made this for you:
If you get a chance, please do check out the above link and let me know: Are the step-by-step photos helpful? Would you like to see more of them in future posts? Or are they as ugly as I cautioned and you’d rather use your imagination? (Be honest!)
And sorry about all my weirdo commentary in this post. One too many glasses of wine last night.
Or perhaps it was all the reeses eggs…
A lot of times seeing step-by-step pics can help me decide if I want to try a recipe. This is mostly for complicated, multi-step ones, which most of yours AREN’T, but I still do like picture tutorials!
Hi Katie!
I so need to try this recipe, even the naked eggs look delicious!
I’m a visual person and love to look at step by step pictures, but then again I know how much work that is, I wouldn’t want you to have less fun in the kitchen because of the extra pictures 🙂 If you enjoy it, go for it!
I love wine…but I heard that not much of it is “vegan’ 🙁 What types/brands do you drink?
Go to barnivore.com! It’s awesome 🙂
I love the step-by-steps!
Katie,
I’m fairly new to your blog and have been trying to catch up on all the reading, that’s why I’m so late in replying to your question.
I really like the step-by-step photos and instructions. This help me to see what the process is suppose to look like as I go along.
Also, I have a quick question…I keep noticing in your recipes the use of scant…what is this?…never heard of it before.
Thanks again for all you hard work.
scant = barely 🙂
so “just under level”
While I do think step by step photos are helpful, I also think that some food bloggers take it too far. Inevitably you find yourself scrolling down for fifteen minutes before you finally reach the recipe! I also think would be very coolto see photos of a recipe in progress. Not every single one, obviously, but every once in a while being able to see the actual creative process of your baking would amazing for me! I can create a traditional cookie, but I always wonder what the trial and error of non traditional ingredients is like.
P.S.
My mother came to visit this week and so far I have made her your chocolate chip Blondies and your secret peanut butter cookies. She was thouroughly impressed! Her biggest weakness in life is pb cookies and I would consider her quite the conissuer. She said it was the best pb cookie that she has ever eaten. Lol if you could have seen her face when I told her what the recipes consisted of! I think she officially loves you.
Aw lol thank you!!!
