Edible Artwork?

Here are two fun acrylic paintings I did a while back. I am a huge fan of both of these recipes... guacamole and omelettes. And, I have a few more of these "foodie" still life paintings planned.

"Guacamole"
9" x 12" acrylic on finished canvas


My Guacamole Recipe:

2 medium, ripe Haas avocados -- peeled, pitted, and sliced
3 T chopped cilantro
1/4 onion finely grated
1/4 tomato finely chopped
juice of 1/2 lime
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together and smash lightly by hand with a fork or potato masher. Serve with fresh tortilla chips.





"Omelette"
9" x 12" acrylic on finished canvas


My Omelette Recipe (for 2):

5 large eggs
2 T chopped parsley
1 T finely grated onion
2 T bell pepper finely chopped
1/4 cup tomato finely chopped
1 oz. shredded havarti cheese (more or less to taste)
1 T milk
salt and pepper to taste

Beat eggs. Add remaining ingredients and beat together. Add 1 T butter or Pam spray coating to non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat. The havarti gives the omelette a wonderful rich and creamy texture.

Hope all my blogging friends are having a blessed and fruitful week!
