NikitaPurple foods are fun! Sometimes we focus on the ingredient and flavors so much that we forget the visual appeal that food has. I made a Berry & Banana Smoothie. I may have put too many strawberries in the mix because my drink came out more pinky-purple than the purple that was shown on the recipe. ALSO, I believe photoshop may have been involved in the picture below because that color is radioactive purple. BUT! I did find a purple straw to make my point! HA! This smoothie is delicious. All natural sugars too! Check out the recipe below. I could not get the link to work. Credit: www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com GeorgiaPurple food.. Hmm So for reals. I haven't been feeling it lately.. Just moved back. Husband is still looking for a job (Interview on Monday :) ) Things feel normalish, but not completely normal. While I've been working Randy has been making dinner. Which is very nice. But it tends to throw me off a little. Anywho.. Nikita said purple.. We keep loose hibiscus tea in the house.. I found this purple popsicle recipe. Voila. Mission accomplished. I substituted the honey with stevia.. No regrets The flavor combo is really fantastic. Perfect for a hot, hot summer in the desert You're welcome!! Oh.. Really thankful my kitchen is clean.. Since it's the backdrop of my pic.. And the husband doesn't take direction very well.. Hence the bow-legged popsicle posing.. JenThanks Nikita for the really fun challenge idea! I made “Chicken and Black Bean Street Tacos” using red cabbage, red onion, and blue corn chips, which ironically are all purple. And, I made a batch of the Cilantro Peach Salsa recipe I shared last week to top it off. My recipe isn’t super detailed since I made it up as I went along, so bear with me. :) I’m really proud of how they turned out – thinking about color lead to a very appetizing dish. AmyWell, well, well, I wasn't feeling it for any of the purple food recipes that I looked through. Then I remembered that I still had a decent amount of culinary lavender in my kitchen and went on a whole new search. Most of the recipes are baked goods and more often then not the lavender is coupled with lemon (which is great). But something completely different caught my eye. Lavender latte. I was intrigued. A handful of ingredients and a simple process. I was so excited about this latte. From the first sip to the last drop this drink was , in a word, exquisite. Some people love serving peppermint iced tea to mix things up a bit. To them (and everyone) I say try this unique and sublime little drink just one time. Step outside of your comfort zone and taste this comfy cozy beverage that will surround you like a warm blanket. I found the recipe on this lovely blog (She's also on Facebook and Instagram), take an opportunity to have a look-see. Until next time ladies(and readers old and new).
Nikita, Georgia, Jen and Amy
