Hello there fine readers! Today I had a lot of homestyle food...but that didn't mean I had to eat ugly, monotone food! Please read on for today's yumminess:
Breakfast was a simple classic: Egg and Potato hash. Scrambled eggs, seared potatoes, a little garlic, salt and pepper for zest - voila! It was simple to make pretty as well. I just portioned my deliciousness into a bowl, sprinkled cheese around the edges to create a lovely circle, and added tomatoes to the center for both color and to complete the concentric circle pattern. Then, I just perched my bacon on the edge for a little jauntiness. Yum!
For a delicious snack (amidst cleaning my ENTIRE apartment), I kept it simple with yogurt, fresh blackberries from the farmer's market, and a little honey for sweetness. This one was really pretty all by itself - as fresh fruit often is, but I made it a little prettier by keeping my honey drizzle in a zig-zag pattern. It's hard to see - but it's there!
Finally, for dinner, I had some spaghetti sauce left over, so I put it to good use. I just made noodles, tossed it with the leftover sauce, and then kicked it up a notch by laying swiss cheese over the top and baking it. I mean, really, it there anything more beautiful that bubbly, melty, carmelized cheese? I think not. For a little bit of color and crunch (and vegetables!) I added a small, simple side salad with Italian dressing. Simple and homey, but stunning and delicious!
I hope today showed you that easy homestyle food doesn't have to be boring or ugly. Go on, have some pretty food! Until tomorrow ~
Ithimis!
