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.
Bacon Egg & Cheese on Sweet Brown Bread Rolls
This little beauty is the second addition to my breakfast sandwich series and it is my husbands favorite. Crispy bacon, a cheesy folded omelette style egg and some baby greens on a sweet, tender brown bread roll. The bacon, egg and cheese part is pretty straight forward, but the bread is what makes this one special. If you haven’t made a breakfast sandwich on a bread that leans a little sweet then you are in for something special today. Let’s get started… If you are starting to get overwhelmed at the thought of baking your own bread for these sandwiches, stick with me for another few minutes here. Let me start by saying that these rolls are really easy to make. Very light hand kneading, no special skills or ingredients required. If you want to give it a try (you can do it… you can do it!!), check out my
Pancetta Egg & Cheese on an English Muffin
This week, I am starting a breakfast sandwich series and this pancetta egg and cheese is how we are kicking things off. Breakfast sandwiches are a wonderful option for feeding a group, meal prepping for the week or making a breakfast for yourself that is easy to take on the go. Whether you are heading out to the office, running errands all over town or want to bring breakfast with you on an early morning hike, breakfast sandwiches are a great option! A classic breakfast sandwich contains four key elements – bread, meat, cheese and egg and all of these elements are super customizable. While having options is great, sometimes having too many options leads to analysis paralysis, so I am going to walk you through my favorite english muffin breakfast sandwich. It has crispy pancetta, a sunny side up egg (you can cook your eggs differently though!), a slice
Whole Wheat Spiced Hummingbird Muffins
If you have ever lived in the south or been invited to a southerners dinner party or backyard barbecue, there is a good chance that you have at least heard of a hummingbird cake. We have lived in the south for years and although I have been in the presence of many a hummingbird cake, I had never tried one until recently and long story short… I’m in love… Although hummingbird cake is thought of as a southern classic, it was actually first developed in Jamaica in the 1960’s. Now there are several different versions of the story of why this cake was named a “hummingbird” cake, but the way that it celebrates the beautiful Jamaican flavors of pineapple, coconut, banana and warm spices is truly delicious and I am so glad that this recipe made its way to the American south. If you are a fan of healthy, moist,
Traditional Schnitzel with Spaetzle & Rotkohl
It’s officially October, so buckle up everyone, because we are going to cover a traditional German staple today and you are going to fall in love with this entire plate. Schnitzel is a thinly pounded cutlet that is pan fried up nice and crispy and it is often served along side spaetzle (tender little egg dumplings) and rotkohl (sweet and sour braised cabbage). It is a super comforting, hearty meal with all of the notes a dinner should have – salty, buttery, sweet, tangy and crispy, saucy, chewy, creamy. It has everything you want and if you haven’t taken your pallet on a trip to Europe lately then let’s do it with this traditional schnitzel dinner. Let’s get started… Let’s talk about the schnitzel first… The term schnitzel is sort of general. It refers to any thinly sliced cutlet breaded and pan fried nice and crispy, but have you ever
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.
