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…
It said comments were closed on the tutorial.
I do like process pictures, preferably for things worth noting like consistency or tips/hacks (like the corn cob skewer, love THAT!)
Haha I feel your pain. I put a tutorial up on my blog today and it was so painful to see how dirty my kitchen looked, but people were begging for this recipe and I didn’t have a chance to clean! Haha I was actually really hungry…
OK, I totally had to check out your post and that is wonderful. 🙂
I have a terribly lite kitchen (really, my entire house – you should see me attempt to photograph a quilt). My kitchen is tiny and always a mess. Much of my cooking/baking photos have random boxes, etc.
I think if we aren’t looking for it we don’t even think about it! We all love the human side of blogs don’t we?
I love step-by-step photos. It helps me know if I’m on the right track or not. One of the blogs I find most helpful is one where the blogger always posts step-by-step. I tend to over-mix and over-do things! 🙂
(and I don’t think the pictures are ugly at all!)
I like the step by step photos. It’s helpful to see if I’m doing everything right.
I think pictures of the process would be helpful.
pics would DEFINITELY be helpful!!
I would LOVE to see more of the process, but I understand taking pictures half way through isn’t always convenient haha
I must say they are helpful,to me at least. I´m a beginner when it comes to cooking so sometimes i could really use some ¨in the proccess¨ photos so i can have an idea of what i´m supposed to do:) And your photos are amazing!!!!!
i always thought it was nice, unique, and cleaner/sleeker that you DIDN’T include all of the photos of pouring flour into bowls, etc that MOST BLOGS do. maybe for SOME of the recipes that include odd steps that are difficult to explain, but for MOST recipes – I think the uncluttered way you do posts now is perfect.
Katie, PLEASE do pictures of the processes!!! That would undeniably help!!!
