Hmm, Ever heard the saying "Food for thought"? Being a visual person, I am inspired by the colors of food, like the Banana Split Cheesecake I make. Topped with whipped cream, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, cherries, chocolate, caramel and nuts. Very tasty and colorful to look at. On a lighter note, I also find the colors of a fresh summer salad very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAbracadebra Designs you are right how food looks with all the colors and textures can be very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYour Bananna Split Cheesecake sound amazing.
It's time to boost my creativity because I love all of the foods you listed above (even the chips and candy bars). I especially love how berries looked when mixed together.
ReplyDeleteMmm... I love food! Those berries look so yummy... I unfortunately can't say the same about the avacado. I've tried it, but to me it doesn't have all that much taste. :/
ReplyDeleteTaylor Lynn I love food too! I love pretty much everything on that list (not a big red cabbage fan). Avocado's are an inquired taste, it took me several tries before I liked them. Give them a try again in 5 years.
ReplyDeleteSince cleaning up our diet several years ago, and becoming a happy,happy health nut, I feel amazing! Fruit and nuts are my morning snack and give me vast amounts of energy. One of the biggest changes I made was getting to bed early and up early, experimenting with just the right amount of sleep for me. I have energy throughout the day and most often sleep like a rock at night! Really helps with the creativity process! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Valerie, I'll have to keep it in mind! :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love avocados right now!!! So delicious!
