Dirt and Worms

A bowl of chocolate ice cream topped with gummy worms and cookies, placed on a yellow table with scattered gummy worms around it, with a yellow spoon inserted into the ice cream. The bowl is filled with chocolate ice cream, and various colorful gummy worms are scattered both inside and around the bowl. The scene is set against a vibrant pink background with a white striped wall on the left side. The composition centers the bowl of ice cream, with the scattered gummy worms creating a playful and chaotic effect. The style is photorealistic, capturing the vivid colors and textures of the candies and ice cream. Other detail additions include the bright and cheerful atmosphere, with the gummy worms adding a fun and whimsical touch to the scene.

Farm Stand to Table

This summer in Southern California’s wine country has been full of delicious surprises, especially the local farm stands neighbors keep posting about on Nextdoor. I visited a few and came home with a vibrant haul: summer squash, micro-basil, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and juicy fruit. The best part? Stepping into the kitchen with this mystery basket and letting color, flavor, and creativity lead the way. These two dishes stole the show with my guests, so I thought you would love them, too. Enjoy!
