Delicious Food Is Pretty

I've been having fun with color this winter.  This salad of a different color, comprised of purple kale, purple cabbage, radishes, carrots, pumpkin and sunflower seeds was delicious with a Vitamix-ed dressing of tahini, capers, garlic, lemon and dijon mustard.

These sauteed mushrooms with tarragon tasted even better than they look in this photo.

A pop of color or careful attention to garnishing can help to jar the palate from it's mid-winter doldrums.
