Beautiful food is my passion. Whether I am cooking for friends and family or styling food for photo shoots, I love creating beautiful dishes that you know you will love before you even take a bite.
In addition to creating clean, modern and beautiful content for restaurants, businesses and ingredient companies, I also have been collecting my favorite recipes to share with you here on Espresso & Lime.
Whether you are here for the recipes or here to create beautiful content for your business, food has brought us together and this makes me happy.

Welcome
I'm Fallon, and I specialize in food styling, project photography, food photography and recipe development. We lived on the tiny island of Okinawa, Japan for several years and I found myself cooking in a very small kitchen without an oven, but with easy access to incredibly fresh fruits, vegetables and some of the best seafood in the world. As a girl who used her oven almost every day, my cooking style had to adapt and this was an eye opening, educational experience that taught me so much about food and the many ways that you can accomplish beautiful dishes from around the world.
Chai Spiced Pear Granola Muffins
If you have been following this blog for any amount of time, you are probably not surprised to see another granola muffin recipe. I have been on a huge granola muffin kick lately for a couple of reasons… they are easy, they are healthy and they are delicious. The granola mixture is similar across all of the recipes and most of the ingredients are super flexible, so they are a great way to use up any little partial bags of things in your pantry, which I love doing. There is something so satisfying about throwing away (or recycling!) an empty bag knowing I used everything and wasted nothing. Thats the good stuff… These granola muffins are spiced with chai and packed with tender pears. Pears and chai are a cozy fall pairing that work so great together. These muffins don’t contain flour or processed sugar, so they make a protein
Roasting Chicken over Vegetables
Have you ever roasted chicken and looked at all of the beautiful drippings at the bottom of the pan and wondered what you could do with all that goodness? Of course, theres always a good pan sauce or gravy, but honestly, sometimes you just want everything to come together at once and this is why I love this simple meal so much… Roasting chicken over vegetables allows all of the beautiful chicken fat and juices to work their way into the tender veggies below creating a complete meal that is absolutely delicious. Not one dripping wasted and each bite is more delicious than the last. Let’s get started… This recipe is pretty loose – you can use bone-in or boneless chicken, skin-on or skinless and you can use individual pieces, quarters or even a whole chicken… whatever you prefer and when it comes to the vegetables, you can use whatever
Apple Cinnamon Granola Muffins
Over the past few weeks, I have been on a huge granola muffin kick. The first one I made were these healthy pumpkin granola muffins then I made some fabulous chai spiced pear granola muffins (they will be added soon!) and now I have these apple cinnamon granola muffins. Each one of them are wonderful in their own unique ways, but I must say that my husband was absolutely obsessed with this apple cinnamon version. Apples rock. They are a naturally sweet source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants and they add something really special to anything they are added to… including these delicious granola muffins. If you are looking for a quick and healthy treat to is perfect for breakfast, snacks or a light sweet treat then you have to give these apple cinnamon granola muffins a try. Let’s get started… This recipe really couldn’t be easier. While your oven
Whole Wheat Fruit Muffins
I have always been the kind of person that keeps cooked things on hand. We do meal prep, but I also love having a cooked protein on hand for quick lunches and dinners and something nutritious for an easy breakfast or light snack to get us through a mid afternoon talkative stomach. These healthy whole wheat fruit muffins are perfect to keep on hand for such occasions. They are easy to make, super flexible on the ingredients list and stay moist all week long. They are a great way to use up unemployed fruit you may have laying around or to sneak nutrient dense ingredients into your diet. Today, I am using apples, oranges and bananas, but you can use so many different kinds of fruit to make the muffins exactly what you will love. Let’s get started… Begin by combining the basic batter ingredients and then we will get
I absolutely love my Victoria Cookware cast iron skillets. They are durable, easy to clean, maintain wonderfully even heat and are oven safe.
If you make smoothies, sauces, salsa or soup then you should definitely have a great blender in your kitchen and I love my Ninja.
A kitchen scale makes a huge difference in baked goods and weighing your ingredients can ensure delicious results.
