I knew I’d find something fun over at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. And I was delightfully spooked by this Italian-Halloween creation. Meet Eyeball Caprese by Lenore. I haven’t fallen in love with food art like this in years. I must make my own and photograph them endlessly.

Evil Mad Scientists has a clever twist on the caprese. They've turned the healthy gourmet salad into an evil Halloween dish. The traditional ingredients for this delicate salad are fresh mozzarella, basil, plum tomatoes and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Hosting a party at your house on Halloween?  Then look no further as you can make these awesome, gross-lookin’ eyeball food. Insalata caprese, an Italian classic, becomes an instant halloween classic as well. The traditional ingredients for this delicate salad are fresh mozzarella, basil, plum tomatoes and olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper.

It’s not picture perfect, and I wish I could say I grew the basil that went into the pesto, and the tomatoes… but no. It was still perfectly yummy, and what’s important, it’s all mine — well, except for a couple of bites Paco took. My little ones don’t like this particular salad, dad’s allergic to cheese, and Aisa’s sensitive to cheese and didn’t want to try.

My whole family loves Insalata Caprese, a simple tomato and mozzarella salad. We first enjoyed it while stationed in Vicenza, Italy. It makes for a delicious, light and easy meal. Perfect for brunch. Or maybe even a tea party. Come on, I’ll show ya how to make it. Put on your apron! Gather up some big, beautiful red tomatoes.

This Friday past (the day after The Big Storm), Steve brought home a real treat: fresh milk from our Silver City co-worker, JJ! Fresh, raw milk from a grass-fed cow! It doesn't really get any better than that! Organic. Hormone-free. Happy, Happy Cow.

If you’re like me, you’re constantly taking pictures of food. My camera has become an extra limb of sorts because there is rarely a time that I’m not snapping away at a nice meal. And some food is just too pretty not to share.
