Friday Food

We both love to eat roasted or grilled veggies and these just looked so pretty I had to take before and after pictures. We tossed sweet peppers (yellow, orange and red), red onion and sliced portobello mushrooms with garlic, lemon rind, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper and grilled them in a grill basket. Delicious!!
Ever since I started blogging and taking pictures for you all, I notice things I never saw before. A few days ago, I had to roast a whole head of garlic for a dish and when I was finished squeezing out the soft, roasted garlic, I was left with this beautiful "flower."
There truly is beauty wherever we choose to look for it...

P.S. This is the last day to enter my giveaway here!! (The two winners will be announced tomorrow.)

  2. That sounds delicious, what could possibly be better than a plate of such colorful grilled veggies. The garlic does look like a flower, I will pay more attention next time I use some.

  8. Oh I so understand what you mean about taking photos for your blog making you see more beauty in life. You begin to SEE every day life through the lens. When I first started my blog I had no idea where to go next in life, and I looked back on my posts, and thought, hmmmm, I'm a gardener. The garlic flower is beautiful. Life is beautiful. Let us live splendidly. Happy weekend, Oh Beautiful One! **kisskiss** Deb

  11. Oooh goodness! Pure goodness, especially with the genus Piper family Piperaceae. Hahahahah! Ever since I started blogging I know the genus, family and species of plants, vegetables, trees and leaves that I draw. Hehehehe. I take my drawing an opportunity to research more information and review the scientific facts about them. I such a nerd! HAHAHAHA!.

    Dear dear dear Silke. Sometimes I realize all of my sisterfriends and how wonderful they are and I panic. I panic because it can't be true, but they are true, you are and I am most blessed.

    Same here. Your blog is an everyday fix for me, actually several times a day. You might think I am stalking or spamming. Hah!
