Until I was scrolling through photos for yesterday's prompt, I honestly didn't realize how much I love red and green plants and food.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats fresh organic greens with ripe Jersey tomatoes and a simple vinaigrette.
Red and green forever, go plants!

Your love for red and green is clear! I was so excited by the falafel waffles, until I read that you wouldn't repeat them. Inspired thinking, though! And the little strawberry santas are so cute!
