Eat Your Colors

Saturday, December 26, 2009

I am rarely this creative when preparing hummus, but since I almost always slice up some colorful bell peppers in two or three colors and/or other veggies to use to scoop and enjoy it, when I found this image online, I had to share.

It seems like food just tastes better when it colorful and foods like color-less hummus definitely are more appetizing when served with colorful friends.

If I'm going to have pitas with my hummus, I prepare them as in this recipe, toasted with fresh fragrant rosemary:

    I love your veggie turkey! I agree with you 100% - colorful food is more fun to make and more appetizing to eat. Plus, colorful foods tend to have the vitamins and minerals essential for a healthy eating lifestyle.

I would be all for a beautiful food challenge - I used to take pictures of my lunches when they were particularly pretty, but I haven't done it in awhile now.

    Hmmm. Maybe we need a beautiful food challenge. I have noticed myself adding more color to my plate. I made fresh salsa a few days ago and it ended up atop some dull-colored lentils, black bean chili and an egg white scramble. It was pretty colorful (and pretty tasty), but there was no figurative art involved.

    Wonderful. We should all play with our food and see what we can make. :)
