Have a Berry Happy Fourth!

Here's wishing you a "Berry Happy Fourth!" <3 <3 <3

This year, I made a super-easy dish. Good for parties. I had this "easy recipe" idea, because I was going to travel to celebrate the Fourth with my close friends, and I needed something that wouldn't require much preparation or equipments. (Traveling 'light' was the idea!)  There was a change of plan, so I ended up not traveling, but why not make it anyway, right? :)

Ingredients:

Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and a 'special appearance' by cauliflowers! 

(You can replace cauliflowers with any 'white' food like coconuts!)

Direction:

You need a rectangular container (for flag shape). Place the whole package blueberries.

You basically place the ingredients in the pattern of the flag, but for strawberries, give an extra  'height.' (See above picture.)

Here you go! Super Easy and Healthy "Fourth of July" recipe!

"Holidays Are Here" with a WREATH On Your Plate!!!

You know holiday season is here when you start seeing Christmas Wreaths on house doors. I truly love and am inspired by the roundness of the wreath. So, I made a raw and organic veggie wreath on a plate! Eat with your favorite dressing.  Wishing you and your loved ones a round, heartful and healthy holiday season!!!

Ingredients:

Purple romaine lettuce

Cucumber

Kale

Almond butter (For "clay" to stick the veggies together. Easy to make. Just put a cupful of any nuts in a food processor for 10-15 minutes!)

Cauliflower pegs 

Broccoli pegs (Can also use small pieces of kale)

Red pepper dice

Direction:

First, cut and place the purple romaine lettuce on a round plate.

(The purple will add a nice shade to the evergreen kale later on.)

Then, place cucumber chips on top. 

(Use a round glass jar in the middle to make sure the wreath will stay round.)

Add an almond butter "clay" on top of cucumber chips.

 Cut the Kale into small "fans"
and stick them on the Almond butter "clay" like a bowtie / butterfly.

It's going to look like this.

Now, it's time to plant the cauliflower pegs!

(Plant them crossing the kale butterfly / bowtie.)

It's going to look like this.

Add red pepper pegs and broccoli pegs 

to fill the empty spots.

Add a red pepper ribbon to make it look authentic!

Pick it up and eat it with your favorite dressing! 

Happy Holidays!!
