Shrimp hearts – Simple makes the difference

I know I’ve said it before about how a simple smiley face added to the top of a dish can make it 10x more appealing.

 

The rice beneath those shrimp tastes good, but it looks boring. The shrimp is pretty boring, too, really, but it doesn’t matter. Make it look like a heart and suddenly an 8-year-old romantic is swooning. Dangle shrimp from edges and it’ll blow the mind of a borderline OCD child who ponders if it’s okay for the food to be on the outside.

Prepare four bowls in identical ways and watch the Libra in me twitch that they’re not -quite- identical. Before moving the out-of-sync bowl, I had the girls look to see which one didn’t look the same. Even putting this picture on the site makes me delete, reupload, delete, reupload, delete, reupload slightly uncomfy because while I don’t mind if pictures look messy, out of focus, etc, I crave balance.

Hmm. Maybe I’m that borderline OCD child referenced above. :P

Stained glass jello blocks

Jello blocks like puzzle with cubes of jello and milk around it

Jello blocks! I actually think it looks even cooler before it’s turned into the white blocks, but either way, I’ve never seen jello made quite this way before.

Pan of different colored jello cubes

It’s a little time consuming to make, mostly waiting on each step to set, but not complicated at all. Our Best Bites has a full picture tutorial with more cool shots of this fun treat.
