I’ve seen a few gorgeous, amazing food items lately….

First, fried guacamole.  Let that knock around in your brain for a minute.  Bonus: they look like lovely little crispy candy wrappers when you’re finished making them.  Awesome!

Also from Joy the Baker, baked chili cheese fries.  Enough said.

Then, there were these two from SmittenKitchen.

First, this beautiful challah bread with figs and olive oil.  I was thinking of going back to my anti-inflammation diet (which means no gluten) and I will — but first I’m going to make and consume this.  Soon.

Also, after the diet bandwagon is again boarded by grumpy dieter, me, I will make this lovely orzo with eggplant and mozzarella.  Of course, I’ll be making it with another grain…I’m thinking brown rice.  Or maybe jasmine.  Either would be good, I think.

That is all, y’all.  Lovely food to try, though!

Happy Monday, y’all!
