Lately I've been excited for the warmer weather, green grass, and especially the beautiful spring flowers! Unfortunately, spring in the Utah mountains is very unpredictable - we woke up to snow today. Well, I'll have my spring flowers one way or another, even if I have to eat them for lunch!
Today's lunch contains rice, chicken breast ( under the rice), strawberries, carrots, broccoli - and pansies made from red garnet potato and cheese, daisies made from cheese, and tulips made from grape tomatoes filled with cream cheese. The stems are stalks of asparagus. Here's a closer shot of the flowers:
Here are some things I used to make these flowers - click on the pictures for more info:

What a work of art! Using asparagus as flower stem is genius. I also really like the cream cheese in the tomatoes!
