A SET OF BERRIES

In early 2012 I created this set of berry illustrations. I must have been dreaming of sweetness in the midst of winter.

I've included these on a set of cards in my Etsy Shop too. You can take a peek here.

Blueberries

There is something intoxicating about the smell of blueberries.  Does that have something to do with it being a super, healthy food?

ABC Foods

In 2009 I created a food illustration for every letter in the alphabet...but spread them out over the whole year.  Over the next few days I'll pull them all together for another looksie. Let's start with the first three.

Blueberry Cupcakes

There are many fabulous food colors, but this is the most striking I've ever seen. I often exaggerate my drawings to make them more interesting, but I would have never imagined going this blue with anything.

Chris at Mele Cotte sent me this beautiful recipe and I couldn't wait to share it.

I highly encourage you to take a peak at the real thing here.

Blueberry Buckle

I've had an infatuation with blueberries lately, so had to share this recipe with you. Check it out at Eat, Knit, Grow. Just scroll down a little in the post when you get there - this recipe is towards the bottom.

GnomeBerry

Once again I was stuck for a gnome food and my 8-year-old daughter came up with this one.

What would I do without my kids? The idea well would be dry.

B is for Blueberries

Since I started the alphabet thing, I might as well continue.

I don't often have blueberries by themselves, but love them in everything else - especially muffins and bagels.
