Earth Day Food Art

[AZ_2021]

2 more hours until May, and before this month wraps up- I wanted to squeeze in another belated post to celebrate Earth Day (a day to celebrate Mother Nature and environmental protection). 

I made some art with food to celebrate that special day.  Below are photos accompanied by short recipe for each in bullet point format.  💙 :heart

Chirping Bird

• The orange cantaloupe forms the beak, legs, and feet.
• The green kiwi forms the wings and the tail.
• The red watermelon makes the head and body.
• The blue blueberry is the bird’s eye.

Cacti in Desert

• The green peas make the cactus plants that thrive in the Arizona desert.
• The yellow overcooked tortillas form the sand that the cacti grow on.
• The black plate makes a dramatic night sky that also helps the colors pop more.

Fish in Sea

• The green seaweed represents the sea. 
• The fish body is made of fish.
• The yellow lemons are the fish’s fins.
• The orange butternut squash makes the smile and eyes of the fish. 
• The orange mango pieces make the sun peeking over the ocean’s horizon. 
• The blue blueberries and white rice represent the white clouds on a blue sky.

A Flower For You

• The green celery pieces represent the stem.
• The green spinach leaves are the flower’s leaves.
• The red watermelon makes the flower’s petals. 
• The orange slices make the center of the flower.

So happy to hear that @MohammadPalash 💖 Watermelon is so tasty. I should buy it more often. I find myself getting busy and eating a lot of takeout, so it's nice to slow down and make food art and eating something healthy in the process. 😍

And you are too kind my neighbor @JustJake! Thank you for your encouraging words. 💑 🌵

Aw thank you @Maximilianozalazar and @Annaelisa I admit I have been eating a lot of junk food lately due a busy schedule. However, It was fun to slow down and make some healthy fruit art. 😍
