It’s the start of Super a bowl weekend and what’s better than a Super Bowl Salad! 🏈🥗

Who says veggies can’t be Super Bowl food? 🥒🥕🍅


This Super Bowl salad features green leaf lettuce, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, and radishes. Some of my favorite colorful, crunch, delicious, and nutritious veggies?

Would Super Bowl salad be a hit at your house? Which team are you cheering for on Sunday?

Flower plates will always be my favorite, I think! I love these sunflowers. 🌻🌻🌻

I made them with lettuce, oranges, and sesame laddu.

I introduced sesame laddu to my kids for the first time this weekend. Incorporating new foods into food art helps my kiddos feel more comfortable and excited to try new things.

Does food art help the kiddos in your life try new foods?

Anyone else still in the holiday spirit? Merry Grinchmas 🎄🎄

Truthfully, I’m posting a day late (or 364 days early?) because my kids and I have been sick this Christmas. I wanted to make a Grinch salad find year, and didn’t feel well enough to make this salad until last night.

Happy Holidays, everyone ❤️

Spooky food season is my favorite!

Would this plate of dirt (lean ground beef), worms (squid ink noodles), snakes (green beans), and eyeballs (boiled egg, olive, and red bell pepper) be a hit at your house?!

Climbing trees has always been a favorite activity of mine! When I saw was making food trees, climbing this cool tree in Cambodia with my friend is the first thing that came to my mind!

This tree made from whole wheat tortillas, green bell peppers, and hummus is yummy, but not nearly as cool as the original!

Purple pancakes!

I added ube powder to pancake mix and was inspired to make spooky pancakes by the alien-shaped pancake.

Which one is your favorite? The witch, Frankenstein, or the alien?

We’re still overloaded with chilis from our garden and making all the cute foods with chilis!

We used chilis, green peppers, basmati rice colored pink with dragon fruit powder and canola oil (really yummy), blueberries, strawberries, and a few marshmallows for this one!

Food art is one of my favorite ways to introduce a new food.

Making food art is a fun way for kids to explore the color and texture of food and thinking of creative ways to use those observations to make art!

Kids often need to be exposed to a food multiple times before they decide to taste it and food art is such a fun way to expose kids to food!

Last night, we explored sweet tamarind by making food art.
