Creating these spreads for Sweet and Savory took a lot of brainstorming and a lot of scrolling through Pinterest to find something that was appealing to the eye. Something that I found that caught my eye was this very unique geometric theme. I saw three ideas that I really loved and after I saw these inspiration pieces, I knew exactly how to execute them and create something that I ended up loving. Something that was very fascinating was being able to see the results and being able to feel proud for creating something. Although most of it wasn’t too hard, there were times where I didn’t know how to format things for the page not to look to empty. Below are pieces of inspiration that were used for the table of contents, the meet the editors, and my feature story. After being inspired, we just incorporated our theme and created some spreads that we all came to admire.

Cooking and Eating are one of the greatest things to do! Whether it is about treating yourself for accomplishing something and going out to eat or making a meal for your family, cooking and eating are wonderful things. These two things are some of my favorite hobbies –especially eating. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, it allows me to spend some quality time with my mother, but also allows me to destress myself. Sometimes being in the kitchen is all I need to be happy. One of my favorite parts about being in the kitchen –similar to the owners of food trucks– is getting to create something and then later enjoy it, especially if it’s with my loved ones. It not only lets me destress myself, but it permits me to learn about different cultures. By doing this, I get some very good benefits and I enjoy performing these hobbies. Overall getting to cook is one of my favorite things, but getting to see the results and taste them is even better!
