Today I'm want to share some FUN ways to spice up your plate by food art! My daughter I made these fun food faces one night & she LOVED them! There is A LOT of recipes out on the Internet for food art. You can do a key word search my typing in food art, edible art, bento boxes, creative sandwiches, food garnishing, ect... Here is the recipes for the faces.


Scarecrow Tostadas

1 16oz can Old El Paso vegetarian refried beans
2 tsp ground cumin

Reduce heat to low; cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Meanwhile, heat tostada shells according to package. To assemble tostadas, spread ½ cup beef mixture onto each tostada shell. Place carrots in center of each for nose, red bell pepper slice for mouth, & 2 cherry tomatoes for eyes. Spoon ¼ tsp sour cream on each tomato eye; top with olive slices. Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese & ¼ cup lettuce around top edge of each tostada. Place tortilla chip on top of each tostada for scarecrow hat. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings
