FOOD DANCE - GREEN APPLE

6x6 Oil on Panel

       $100.00 plus S&H


There is something about painting apples that is so relaxing and fun.  Green apples are my favorite to paint.  Green is my favorite color - at least for today!  Apples have a sensuous shape that is appealing.  And a big plus - one a day keeps the doctor away!

 Here is a recipe using lots of green things and below is a little video for your Friday entertainment from the BBC about blackberries and apples.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatillos (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 cup chopped Granny Smith apple

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Linda, You've made me hungry for fruits and veggies this challenge! I really like how they pop off the black which also makes your color so rich. You've added a new element educating us on some of the lesser know ones and intriguing us with recipes. Bravo.
