So... if you are fixing dinner, or any other food for that matter and think to yourself- "hmmm... this just seems to look a little plain. It's missing something but I can't think of what..." Then that is the time to go outside and look. My favorite things to garnish with are things that God created himself- flowers, herbs, fruits, etc... If there are flowers growing outside (I'm not telling you to steal your neighbors) go pick one and you just garnished your first dish! Here is a picture of some hummus we made with spices, parsley and a flower that was growing outside our house, and a cake with mini chocolate chips, fresh mint and a flower. Garnishing doesn't have to be hard, but it makes such a big difference! Just keep it simple and look for colors that go well with the food. Happy garnishing!
Finding joy and reasons to love one other and the things around us is a daily task that I like to call an adventure. God has placed so many fantastic things around us and one of those things is food. I hope to be able to bring some joy to you that you can share with others- be it through cooking or other things I discover that make me smile. :)
