The Colors of Nature, Dean Crouser

Had to share. Dean Crouser's Animals are amazing. I love the spontaneity of his style. 

And the colors explode with purpose. 

Illustration Inspiration: Isabelle Arsenault

This week's illustration inspiration comes from Isabelle Arsenault. Here unique color 

palette and use of soft color and earth tones makes her a very on-trend artist. I love the 

detail in that top illustration from, "Mr Gauguin's Heart" Look out the porthole - cute 

detail and great color use for contrast. I am also becoming a huge fan of illustrators 

who don't always follow the perspective rules. It creates a very stylized and loose 

image that I really enjoy. 

Cheese-Less Pizza that doesn't look like a Salad!

I have been craving pizza since I gave up dairy ( six months ago ). I love the 

warm crust and ... honestly... eating with my hands. This morning I was determined

 to find a non-dairy pizza recipe that still felt like pizza and I found it {!} at Inside 

Krista's Kitchen. She provided a personal BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe that I can't 

wait to try. Here it is for your own kitchen adventures. 

Ingredients:

1 par baked individual size pizza crust (to par bake simply make your dough 

as usual and cook it at 450 F for 3 min on a pizza stone. Let it cool completely 

and store in a Ziploc in the freezer).
3 Tbsp BBQ sauce, divided
2 oz cooked and cubed chicken
6 cloves roasted garlic
1 oz pineapple, cubed
1 green onion, sliced into rounds using all parts
Cilantro to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 F with pizza stone in oven. Take par baked crust and spread 

half of the BBQ sauce, then top with chicken, pineapple, garlic, green onion, 

then drizzle remeaining BBQ sauce on top. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the crust 

is light brown on the bottom and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and let sit on 

stone for 2-3 minutes. Top with cilantro, cut and serve.
