Pink Pepper [Just A Little Food Porn]

I'm very into the power of food and cooking and how it's all connected to our health and well being.  Since I cook so often, and sometimes take pictures of the pretty dishes that I whip up, I've been wanting to share my happiness with you.

I've been toying with the idea of making a separate food blog, but after much talk with friends and family, especially Miss Lacy, I've decided to share my culinary adventures here and have it be a feature on The Quiet Life of Violet!

Without further adieu:

For my first post, I thought I'd share with you little bit of one of my favorite things:

Food Porn

[Purple carrots. I get these little beauties at our Farmer's Market. They're slightly sweet and deeper in flavor than regular carrots. PLUS, the little stand that sells them takes the leafy carrot tops (if you don't want them, of course) and feeds them to their bunnies. It doesn't  get any cuter than bunnies munching on your carrot's tops. ]

[Quinoa- Corn pasta  purple cauliflower, sweet potato, asparagus, basil, chopped garlic, olive oil and my favorite.. salt! This is a variation of my favorite go-to lunches.]

[Sauteed chard, asparagus and zucchini. I really, really like veggies... Except for radishes.. they're really foul.]

[Big chunks of pastured eggs  in a super yummy bowl of potato salad. organic potatoes, mayo, black olives, sliced green onions and chunks of white onion, salt, pepper and dill. I was out of my beloved (pickles), so after I took this photo, I mixed in some of my FAVORITE sauerkraut. I buy the raw, organic kraut from a super-rad local vendor, Cultured. My favorite flavor is Lemon Garlic Dill. So crunchy. So saur (sour). So GOOD.]

What's your favorite food?
