Half Baked Harvest - Made with Love. Ahh. I am almost feel like I should apologize for this. Almost. But then I look at these photos and think, but it’s December, December is all about indulgences, and that makes everything ok again. I am a firm believer that December has no limits when it comes to food. No limits. The more overtop the better. The sweeter the better. I know there have been a lot of sweet treats and holiday inspired eats around here lately, but I can’t help it. Thinking not really, but you really just have to be in my brain to understand what the heck I am talking about. The other reason for all this Christmas overload is simply because I love it, and I LOVE getting to dress up my photos and just make them fun. Two and a half years ago, I never would have thought I would like setting up food photos so much. But umm, I have gotten so into my cooking, baking, mess making, and photo taking – that my closet has dwindled and all my cute clothes have pomegranate juice and or chocolate stains on them.
UGH. Anyway. Dollyswitch, couple-a-hundred-of-em: As a college student,... Tortilla Chip Crusted Oven-Fried Ravioli with Spicy Fontina Queso Fundido. It is official, I COULD do Mexican food all the time… but for now I will limit it to just this week. Oh, and the title? Do not run off screaming thinking you have to make your own ravioli. Seriously, please do not do this. I promise, if you do not want to, you do not have to make the ravioli yourself. There, I said it.
I will be the first person to admit that homemade ravioli is not the easiest, or the most fun thing to make, but I will say that you will never, ever, beat homemade ravioli. But, I know people are busy and no matter how much they may want to make their own ravioli, they just do not have the time, so I gave you the option. Trust me, I get it.
Anyway, I decided that since I do write a food blog I would just make my own, and you know what? I think I am getting better! And the ravioli? It is like fried ravioli, but without all the hot oil that spatters all over. Yes. But probably the best part of this appetizer/snack or ok… (honestly) our dinner? Queso Fundido. What?!? Ingredients. Really nice recipes. Every hour. 84th&3rd | Rainbow Whole-Fruit Ice Pops. Sitting on the concrete floor of my mother’s friend’s flowershop I sorted and searched through the little plastic pieces for the right colour. Pop, pop, pop the little pegs broke through black paper, twinkling as they released the light. I followed the Lite Brite patterns until I used them all up and started making up my own designs — swirls and zig-zags and 5-year-old interpretations of trees — from the little points of colour.
And then a question, asked casually and without pressure, that would open a whole other world. “Oh J”, called from across the room, “do you know about the colour wheel?” Within moments of those six coloured pegs being arranged in a circle on the back-lit board my young life changed. Red and yellow made orange, yellow and blue made green, blue and red made purple and then all again. It was at once completely logical, yet entirely magical, and from that point on everything existed as a rainbow (or if it didn’t I tried my hardest to make it so).
