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.

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.

Du bist WUNDERBAR!!! Danke für deinen tollen Beitrag!! Sooo schön bunt und erneut eine Gemeinsamkeit 
Als die Kinder noch klein waren habe ich DAS des Öfteren gemacht, fand aber keine Fotos mehr… Dachte ich, dann fiel mir ein, dass ich die schönsten Ergebnisse auf Insta hochgeladen hatte
Weintrauben Raupen… Die kernlosen Weintrauben auf einen Schachlikspieß stecken und Zucker Augen anbringen.
Mit Oliven, Mozzarella und Möhren habe ich kleine Pinguine gefertigt. Die gefielen unseren Jungs jedoch nur optisch sie mögen noch heute keine Oliven
Radischen Mäuse, das ging ganz einfach und schnell
DIESE hier waren ein Hit! Aber die Oliven musste trotzdem ich essen
Mumien WĂĽrstchen: mit einem Tupfer Majonaise und winzigen schwarzen Oliven StĂĽckchen die Augen gestalten. Fertig sind die Mumien WĂĽrstchen.
Sie haben nicht gefragt woraus Die Augen sind, also homöopathisch dosierte Oliven waren ok
Ein 3D gestaltetes Aquarium Brot.
“Frischkäse leicht blau einfärben, Wasserpflanzen mit Brokkoli und Schnittlauch dekorieren und dann die Möhren Goldfische drauf stecken”
Zu der Zeit hatte der jüngere tatsächlich ein Aquarium und viel Freude daran. Muss man den Brokkoli mitessen Mama?!? Der ist doch soo gesund, schau Mama, der ist für dich!
Tomaten-Gurken Pilze auf Salatbett
Die hatte ich fĂĽr meinen Mann gezaubert
Danke, vielen DANK fĂĽr diese kleine Zeitreise, angeregt durch deinen Beitrag

Aw @Stephanie_OWL your kind comment and wonderful food photos just made me smile after a long tough week.
I echo @Annaelisa - you are so creative my friend.
The penguins are so cute- and yes- another twinning moment- though I too don’t like eating olives- I still find the penguins so aesthetic. That was too funny how the mummies has smaller pieces of olives for the eyes so they weren’t detectable.
Your aquarium is wow!! That is my one of my favorite besides the angry birds one. I love how you even took time to color the cream cheese and added healthy vegetables to it as well. Your story about the broccoli too made me giggle. 
You are so talented my friend with your food art!
