(This is a repost from 2014 highlighting our relationship with Arkansas’s finest rice producer, Riceland Foods.)
Arkansas Women Bloggers are the social media megaphones of Arkansas. So naturally, when Riceland wanted to get the word out, they hired Arkansas Women Bloggers to bring in some great influencers to Stuttgart for the WingsOver the Prairie/World Championship Duck Calling Contest. The eight bloggers were able to interact with Georgia Pellegrini, TV Chef, Author, Outdoor Adventure Expert, Modern Pioneer, #GirlHunter on stage, learn more about Riceland, and even get a duck calling lesson.
Riceland provides marketing services for rice, soybeans and wheat grown by its 5,500 farmer-members in Arkansas and Missouri. Each year, its 1,500 employees receive, store, transport process and market more than 125 million bushels (2.5 million metric tons) of grain.
They are the WORLD’s largest miller and marketer of rice , yes, right here in Arkansas people.
Each Riceland product is backed by generations of rice farmers whose goal has always been to produce the finest quality rice in the world.
Riceland makes me proud to be an Arkansan and we are happy that they have seen the value in Arkansas Women Bloggers and our influence.
Enjoy some of the photo collages from a few of the bloggers that spent the day listening to duck calls and cooking with Riceland.
A special thanks to our dear, sweet, encourager Debbie Arnold for making all the bloggers and Georgia camo and embroidered aprons. Yes, that is how she rolls.
#ARWB is proud to support our #client the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board and to showcase a few of the many soy-based recipes from our members. There are many kinds of soy foods: tofu, edamame, soy flour, soybean oil, soy beverages just to mention a few. When taking a look at the ingredient list on prepared foods will give you an indication of how much soy is used today.
Soybeans and soybean products are Arkansas’s largest agricultural exports. Arkansas currently ranks 10th in the nation in soybean production, producing more than 150 million bushels annually valued at more than $1.5 billion. (http://www.arfb.com/pages/arkansas-agriculture/commodity-corner/soybean/
We’d love to know how you use soy and what some of your favorite soy recipes are. Share in the comments. Meanwhile, go check out some of these terrific dishes.
Ami Lee: Orange Sauce Tofu with Broccoli and Potatoes
I searched the interwebs to try and find some delicious vegan lunch options. Oh man, did I have some trouble. I am allergic to so many things that are vegan. But, I think the biggest offender that ordinary vegans love to use are nightshades or nightshade based spices. I can handle a little, tiny, blip of fresh tomato and I’ve noticed I can handle gochugaru which is Korean Hot Pepper Flakes. But that’s about it. So no chili, no curry, no tomato based sauces….NO! Stop with all the tomato! I literally watched a meal prep video and it had tomato in every. Single. Recipe! Flash forward to finding Brian Turner. He is a vegan fitness body builder and speaks often about how a vegan diet helped improve his issues with severe acne. In one of his videos he did orange tofu, broccoli, and potatoes. Best of all, it all went on the same pan in the oven. READ MORE
DEBBIE ARNOLD: WOK-FIRED SPICY EDAMAME
Wok-Fired Spicy Garlic Edamame are probably my most favorite snack or appetizer. I first fell in love with them at Sushi Cafe in Little Rock. I had previously had boiled and salted edamame but had not experienced the garlicky spicy version.
It just may have been a life changer, y’all. READ MORE
KEISHA McKINNEY: MEXICAN CHICKEN and ROASTED TOMATO SOUP
A couple months ago, I made Green Chile Chicken Chili and I’ve been begging my mom to use this as a left over turkey recipe. I guess I’ll find out Friday if my pleading worked (it doesn’t usually because she has her own agenda…but its worth the try!) Apparently my dad doesn’t like white beans and since its just the two of them at home now, he gets his way! WHATEVER!!!
But, as I was gathering the ingredients to make up that recipe, I noticed that Swanson had some new flavored chicken broths. I was super curious and had been wanting to try one of them. So, last weekend as I gathered ingredients for this soup of mine, I decided to make this the day to try the new broth. Which, turned out to be a great idea since I forgot to get any seasoning packet.

DEBBIE ARNOLD: EDAMAME SUCCOTASH
I have tons of stories to share with you about my day at #Bean2Blog with P. Allen Smith and The Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board at Smith’s amazing Moss Mountain Farm, but I just had to first share this oh-so-tasty edamame succotash that we were served at lunch during the event. It is beyond easy and makes an attractive side dish (or main if you prefer) on your dinner plate. I can’t wait for you to try it . Be sure to let me know what you think. I just know you will love it like I do. from A Taste of Soy. READ MORE
DEBBIE ARNOLD: ARKANSAS TRAIL MIX
This is such an interesting snack. People don’t really know what to make of it. Beans? Are you kidding me? Yep. And it’s made in no time, y’all. Plus, it’s definitely tasty…and addictive! READ MORE

Patricia Barnes
Sister Schubert
“I have always believed that each of us has dreams and desires and talents waiting to be uncovered. They start with a tiny see: a seed that we “cast” or plant, so that it can take root and grow. A seed must be cultivated with patience and love,and through faith it will take root and prosper. We cannot see what is taking place underground, yet we anticipate the arrival of that first bud, the spirit of the flower. For each of us, every seed we sow has great potential, but it is up to us to feed our dreams, nurture our ideas, an have faith that our talent will blossom. A seed, however, is just a seed, without hard work and care.
I did not wake up one day and decide that I wanted to be the head of a very successful company, but each step along the path from my kitchen table to the boardroom at Sister Schubert’s Homemade Rolls helped to prepare me for the next step. I tended each idea, each seed, with careful attention and with faith, and eventually they grew into a company that I am proud of, and I am grateful that it carries my name. I am still learning and growing, and I believe every day brings another opportunity to use the gifts God gave us: faith, hope and love.” from Cast You Bread Upon the Waters
Patricia (Sister Schubert) Barnes is a highly successful businesswoman and philanthropist whose generosity literally reaches across the globe. She’ll be sharing the story of her success, of her cooking and of her life. “Never believe that where you are right now is where you will stay. Pray, have faith and try to be of service to others.” These are the words on which Sister has stood for most of her life and are demonstrated daily through her own personal experiences.
Chef Matthew R. McClure
The Hive, 21 C Museum Hotel Bentonville
Named a semifinalist for “Best Chef, South” for 2014, 2015. and 2016 Beard Foundation Awards, Chef Matt McClure was born and raised in Little Rock, where he realized his passion for food. After studying at Vermont’s New England Culinary Institute, McClure honed his skills in Boston and worked at a number of restaurants including No. 9 Park under the direction of Barbara Lynch, a 1996 Food and Wine Magazine Best New Chef and a 2003 Beard Award winner for Best Chef of the Northeast. His next posts were at Troque, a boutique restaurant and wine bar and at Harvest located in the heart of Harvard Square, where everything was based on the region’s freshest seasonal products. After years in Boston, the lure of his home was strong and McClure returned to Little Rock, where he worked under Chef Lee Richardson at Ashley’s at the Capital Hotel.
During his tenure, McClure developed a deep appreciation for local ingredients, reinforcing his passion for Arkansas’ food culture. Showcasing the region’s farmers and culinary landscape, McClure’s menus are true to the High South, highlighting ingredients such as black walnuts, freshly milled corn meal, hickory smoked hams, peaches, melons and sweet onions. He describes his food as having Arkansas terroir which means he relies on common locally grown ingredients with their own nuances of flavor determined by the climate and soil in which they were raised.
Chef McClure will be preparing dishes with ingredients found locally. “Great local ingredients give me the ability to offer a unique culinary experience, and I am proud to be from this region as well.”
Helen Lampkin and Ashley Pointer
My Brother’s Salsa and Helen’s Table
What started as Helen’s approach to making the ordinary things in life extraordinary became a family owned and operated business focused on sharing gifts of food around the table.
Helen Lampkin, learned to love cooking as a child while helping her Dad in the kitchen. When her oldest brother gave her a recipe for salsa she put her own spin on it and continued to share her brother’s salsa with family and friends for several years until she finally launched her company in 2003.
The first jar of My Brother’s Salsa hit the store shelves in 2004. Today, this family-owned and operated business has expanded from just her brother’s original recipe to nine different flavors of salsa; including black bean and corn, fire roasted, house, and tomatillo, along with seasonal small batch salsas in cucumber tomato (Mediterranean), Hatch green chile, peach tomatilla, and cranberry orange flavors. The company also recently began making their own line of whole grain organic tortilla chips.
Lampkin said she is also working to rebrand her small-batch salsas under a new sub-brand called Helen’s Table. She’s developing a whole line of new products, from functional art, to decor, tables, and chile roasters. In her spare time, she makes and sells handmade brooms.

Five years later…Spreading the Amazing of #AWBU with Our Neighbors
For five years, we have gathered women from every walk of life in a unique place that was warm and welcoming, a place to grow and stretch bloggers as they explored or even discovered their voices, and cultivated deep connections in an atmosphere that felt like sneaking off for an amazing weekend with your best girlfriends. Ladies from our surrounding states noticed, they wanted to be a part of this unique thing we had built. So, they came from Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Alabama, and Mississippi. They experienced and understood the #AWBU magic. So, this year, we invite them all to this place we have created.
September 9 – 11 in Fayetteville, we open our hearts and Arkansas for MEGAPHONE 2016, an influencers conference.

We’re so excited to have Heather expanding her Food Photography and Food Styling session; she will be assisted by Sarah Shotts, Jenny Marrs and Whitney Binzel, skilled photographers themselves. Now, isn’t it about time you turned in your registration for AWBU 2015 including Foodie Friday?)
Session Title: Creative Food Photography: Branding Yourself with Gorgeously Designed Food Photos
Hey y’all! My name is Heather and I’m the proud owner of the blog Heather’s Dish, a place where I create recipes and talk to y’all like we’ve been friends forever. It’s simple: I’m a wife, mother, and full-time food blogger. I do all of it imperfectly, but since I believe it’s our imperfections that attract other people to us I’m OK with sharing that. And here’s the thing about food photography: it can be SUPER intimidating (has anyone SEEN Pinterest lately?!) but the thing is that we all have a story to tell. We all have a unique perspective to share, so there’s room at the proverbial table for all of us!
Because we are such a visually-driven society it’s important to take the time to set up our photos to tell our story so that we can set ourselves apart. The first thing to do is find a camera you love and learn how to use it! This means look up videos and tutorials, be an A+ student, and practice. Realize that you’ll likely never get that one photo that you consider absolutely perfect, but then again it’s that search for that one photo that keeps us going. Practice and be willing to make mistakes!
Something to consider when you’re shooting is consistency. If someone ran across your photo on Facebook or Pinterest, would they know it was yours based on the quality and consistency of the photo? Or even just looking for consistent lighting – try shooting at the same time of day with the same kind of light (Northern light is always the most consistent!). And create a consistent editing routine – it will make the whole post-processing thing much simpler!
My husband is super smart and knows all of the things about lighting setups and products to use…but I am a purist at heart and only ever shoot using natural light. It’s the most beautiful to me and always highlights the food best, plus the evenness of the light is perfect for casting the light across the food in a beautiful way. And yes it can be fickle (time changes, weather, etc) but I believe it’s worth it to wait for the good light than to shoot using anything else.
Because I’m a list person I‘m going to give y’all a bullet point list of the highlights of this presentation (and lucky you – no nervous laughter from me!):
Styling food requires utilizing texture. That means fresh food might look great with a quick mist of water, cooked food usually works best without too much steam (so let it cool slightly), and a final plating looks great with a few fresh ingredients in the shot as well. Don’t be afraid to change it up!
Styling props and accessories are SUPER important! Find things that really portray the kind of food you cook (homestyle? restaurant-quality? simple? colorful?) Keep in mind that you don’t want to overwhelm the actual food with bright colors and too-bold patterns. And just an FYI – red can be very hard to photograph.
Play with lighting angles! Shoot the food with the light directly at the subject, from the side, or with the light coming from behind. All of those options can create really great texture.
Play with other angles! Shoot the food from the ground level, a 45-degree angle or overhead to create different stories with your shots.
Basic editing can be done with Lightroom (highly recommend), Photoshop, or various online resources. I use Lightroom almost exclusively, but will resize things as necessary in Photoshop. All of these options have really great online tutorials and you can Google anything you want to know.
A note on sizing: vertical (portrait) photos are usually work best for Pinterest, Google+, StumbleUpon and are easily cropped if you’re reposting to Instagram. Horizontal (landscape) photos are usually best for Facebook and Twitter, but are also responsible for increased viewability if you work with an ad network who has those requirements.
In short, be prepared to make mistakes. Be prepared to get frustrated. But in the end be prepared to fall in love with photography and eventually develop a really keen eye for great photos!
Heather Disarro is a food-centric lifestyle blogger who is passionate about embracing the beauty that surrounds us with in our everyday lives. She is a Texan living the expat life in central Arkansas with her husband, son and two massive dogs. Heather writes her blog, Heather’s Dish, from an office filled with dust, dog fur, toys and plenty of love, grace and music. She specializes in creating delicious and creatively nourishing recipes. Cooking seasonally and with as many local ingredients as possible is an important component to Heather’s style of food, and she revels in the opportunity to bring the love of cooking to the world as a way to love others well! You can find her on her blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+ and Instagram.
One of the most needed and most over looked item in shelters and food banks across the country are feminine products. As this Huffington Post article explains, getting their period is one of the most difficult challenges faced by homeless women. But it’s not just the homeless that struggle. Low income families have a hard time affording feminine products. I teach in a low income school and I know of girls that miss school every month because they can’t afford feminine products and their only alternative is to stay home until their time of the month passes.
Tampons and pads are needed in shelters and food banks all over Arkansas. This month we are hoping that all of our AWBU members will try to give back to their community in some way and we will be hosting a feminine products drive. Here is how it will work:
Collect Feminine Products Collect on your own or as a small group of bloggers. Encourage your friends, neighbors, coworkers and blog readers to get involved.
Photograph Your Donation
Since we are spread out across the state the best way to show all we’ve collected is to snap a quick photo.
Upload Your Photo to Instagram
Share the photo of your donation on Instagram. Be sure to use #ARWBGives and tag @ARWomenBloggers in your photo.
Drop Off Your Donation
Drop of your donation at a local shelter or food bank. We are providing a list of a few possible places below.
Leave a Comment Below
Leave a comment on this blog post to let us know that you participated along with a count of how many items you donated.
Our goal is for our members to collectively donate 200 packages of feminine supplies by May 31!
Here is a brief list of women’s shelters around the state. This is not a comprehensive list and you can find more shelters here. Additionally you may feel compelled to make your donation to a local food bank, church shelter or other organization. The goal is to make feminine products available to women in Arkansas so feel free to select where you make your donation at your own discretion.
