What two passions would you refuse to give up until you were 6 ft under? For me its food and photography. This blog is my recipe box, my photographic food diary, a place for challenging myself.
I am Melissa. I love ice cream and cheese, cooking at midnight and eating chocolate for breakfast. I grow veggies in a tiny backyard in the city small front yard in the country. My husband likes food fried, I like food fresh, and our six seven year old daughter will only eat strawberries, pizza & plain ham sandwiches with mayo.
I am cooking for three, on a limited budget, trying to keep it simple and laughing the whole most of the time.
Why Shoots & Roots? Shoots are the first seedlings in a garden and a nickname for a photography session. Roots refer to the roots in a garden, roots we eat and the roots we create with our family.
We recently moved to Sonoma County, California! There is much to come about our adventures in one of the most beautiful places in the country.
I would love to hear from readers. Drop me a note at shootsandroots6 (at) yahoo.com.

This made me laugh: “My husband likes food fried, I like food fresh, and our daughter will only eat salami & chicken nuggets.” Thanks…I needed that!
I thought that was funny, too…..and makes a huge and tricky challenge for your dinner table. But, on the serious side, you are BRILLIANT for gardening in the back — your little carnivore will be lured away before you know it to all those beautiful hands-on roots and shoots.
I love your blog–your recipes and photos are both fantastic!! Can’t wait to read more!
