Marshalls Abroad

Life

The Last of New Zealand

I’ve had these photos in a folder on our desktop since we first got back, meaning to post.
Sometimes we open up that folder and marvel at the adventure, beauty and incredible times together. Memories not to be forgotten! I bet a lot of you would say the same — I am so very grateful for photography and having images that we can look back on to remember the amazing travels that we’ve been on together. Traveling is such a gift! Our list of where we hope to go grows and grows… and grows.

PS: I need your opinion! I have an awesome opportunity to be part of a big food series and can’t decide which of these to cook and photograph. What would you most like a new yummy recipe for?
1. Croque Monsieur
2. Chopped Salad
3. The Best Pizza You’ll Ever Have
4. something else?

Thank you!!

    Love your pictures so much! I'd love to see some local recipes from the island–it'd be so interesting seeing what some of the world's healthiest people nosh on!

    Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! I think I said that last time you posted sheep or something similar. You know that it reminds me of Evan Almighty when they are in his car. lol Beautiful flowers love!

    Beautiful! Those little lambs are precious; I wish I could jump through the screen and snuggle them!

    My vote is for Croque Monsieur. I just watched It's Complicated and Meryl Streep makes Croque Monsieur and it looks delicious. I need to learn now!

    Your pictures have made me add New Zealand to my (ever growing) list of places to visit.

    As for the food vote, I would say #2 or #3.

    amazing lavender and you should re-post those sweet lambies for Easter – since Christ was our sacrificial Lamb! I could totally see you putting together a photo collage with crosses etc.
    As for votes — you had me at Croque Monsieur. Never made one at home and I'm pretty sure an Amanda Marshall recipe would inspire me to get to work on a Mr. Crunch! 🙂
    miss you like crazy, hot mama!
    love lanneybear

    Your photos are always so, so beautiful Amanda! In terms of recipes – I think I'm leaning towards the Croque Monsieur.

    love these pics of NZ … i'm an expat married to a kiwi and living in Wellington & never get tired of the amazing landscape here {especially the south island}.

  25. Kristina says

    Stunning shots – looking forward to explore NZ soon myself (hopefully). In terms of the recipe, I vote for the pizza – I loooove a good self-made pizza!!

    I am studying abroad in New Zealand and it's by far the most beautiful place I've ever been! I've only been here a month and I'm already obsessed with it. I never want to leave!!

    Gorgeous pictures! If you don't do the chopped salad recipe for the food series I'm still interested in it. Please share!

  33. Anonyme says

    I just want more and more blog posts, because the pictures are just getting prettier and prettier!

    Definitely the salad, I would say!

    I hadn't bothered to read the title of this post because I immediately dove into looking at your beautiful pictures. When I got halfway through to the pictures of the pink and purple flowers I immediately thought, "She's in Sweden! Those are the flowers from Sweden!" I was mesmerized by those EXACT same flowers when I visited Sweden this summer. But, after looking at the title, I'm glad to know they grow in New Zealand as well 🙂

    This post made me smile.
