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.

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.
Goat Cheese Cake with Nectarines & Almonds
Spring is coming. I can feel it and my grocery store had the most beautiful nectarines yesterday, so we are making my favorite goat cheese cake with nectarines and almonds… If you are not a fan of goat cheese or unfamiliar with the idea of a cake made with this creamy, tangy delight then I beg you to stick with me on this dessert because it is absolutely wonderful. Goat cheese has an extra soft and creamy texture which will make your cake so moist and delicate. It also adds a light tanginess to the overall flavor of this cake that is reminiscent of cheesecake, because goat cheese can be substituted one-for-one with cream cheese or ricotta in many cake recipes. If you are looking for a tender, moist, beautifully flavored cake then I would love for you to give my goat cheese cake a try. Let’s get started… Begin
Mushroom Onion & Gruyere Frittata
A frittata is such a versatile vessel. They can be filled with anything from a basic cheese and herb mixture to loads of flavorful add-ins like meats, fruits and vegetables. Frittatas make great breakfasts, brunch elements and meal preps and they reheat really well. Lately, I have been baking up little individual frittatas, but you can absolutely bake everything in an 8 or 9 inch pie dish like a traditional frittata. Whatever works best for your needs. Todays frittata is full of caramelized mushrooms, onions and gruyere cheese with a little milk or cream and some Italian herbs. It is a simple combination filled with delicious flavors and nutritional benefits. Let’s get started… Begin by sautéing 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and a medium sliced yellow onion until they are softened and lightly caramelized. While the mushrooms and onions are doing their thing, whisk 8 large eggs with 1/2 cup
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Muffins
Hello friends! I am here with yet another granola muffin recipe and this one is every bit as special as the rest (or if you ask my husband… the best one yet). These beauties are full of peanut butter and chocolate – aka one of the best food pairings ever. The combination of oats, nuts, cinnamon, peanut butter and chocolate create moist, chewy muffins that are just sweet enough to feel like a treat without the addition of processed sugars, but also full of nutritional benefits. They are a delicious way to start your day and the perfect answer for any late afternoon sugar cravings. Let’s get started… In a large bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with a cup of your favorite milk, 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup, a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2/3 cup of peanut butter. You can use any milk and creamy or chunky
Hearty Granola Cookies
If you have been hanging out here recently, it will be no surprise to you that I have been on a huge granola kick. I just love it. I am always down for combining oats, nuts, coconut, dried fruit, chocolate chips in various forms. Whether it is regular granola, granola muffins or these hearty granola cookies. These cookies have a wonderfully hearty texture with little pops of fried fruit, melty chocolate and chewy coconut shreds. They are packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants and they contain no processed sugar, so they are a great option for last minute breakfasts on the go or a late afternoon sweet craving. Let’s get started… Begin by whisking 6 tablespoons of melted butter with 1/4 cup of peanut butter (you can use smooth or chunky here!), 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup and 1/2 cup of either apple sauce, mashed banana or pumpkin puree
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.
