Debbie also shares this awesome recipe!

Ingredients

Bamboo skewers (or metal, if desired)
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper to taste

Ingredients for the pesto:
1 cup walnuts
Handful mint
Handful parsley
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup pecorino Romano cheese
Juice 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
1/2-1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Toss cubed chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Skewer chicken and place on baking sheet.

In a food processor, combine all pesto ingredients, except for the olive oil. Pulse a few times, then drizzle the olive oil down the feeding tube as you pulse. Add enough oil to create a pesto consistency. Set aside.

Broil chicken on second-to-highest rack for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Transfer to serving plate and top with pesto (or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.)

Sweet puppies at the farm!

We just wanted to let you know that we have several sweet little puppies on the farm and they are more than happy to pose for pictures!! They will be here for another three weeks and are available for use as props! They won't be in the prop stop LOL! But they will be around just let us know you'd like to meet them! 

A few new additions to the prop stop

Just a quick note to let you know I added this super cute frame with chalk!

You can find the chalk in this box!

Along with some 'emergency' supplies: tissues, wet wipes, hair detangler, band-aids, hair clips and OFF bug spray!

Also I have noticed some people have been having trouble with the cast iron bed. It's super easy to set up, it has four metal pieces, the two side rails hook into the headboard and footboard using the notches, the ledge on the side rail needs to point inside so that the wooden slats can rest on them, then the mattress can be placed on top of the slats. 

The mattress has a plastic cover, please keep this on. See below:

The bedding can be found in this box in the prop stop shelf. But I would suggest if you're intending to use the bed on your shoot to bring your own twin sized bedding and blankets.

Let me know if you have any problems, suggestions or questions, please e-mail me at info@alexandrafrankel.com
