Spring garden

It was Mother's Day yesterday, and we had a lovely day with handmade gifts and my son making me breakfast in bed. The sun was shining, the birds chirping, the flowers blooming in abundance.

Today, I made a "Spring Garden". Rice and quinoa medley with coconut aminos, a couple of pieces of broccoli with some mini turkey pepperonis my youngest snuck into the grocery cart while we were shopping the other day!

The lunch, and some lovely flowers my girls potted for us on our doorstep.

I saw a similar one online somewhere and of course had to change it up for our restrictions.

Green pepper for the hat; one of those "smashed fruit" all natural fruit leathers for the strap, cut turkey pepperoni for the hat buckle.

Gluten free bread cut into a circle, raisins for eyes, sunflower seed nose, and some chopped carrots for the hair and beard. Super cute, not as difficult at it looks, and the kids loved it!

I also made some gelatin "jigglers" from pineapple juice and knox gelatin for gold pieces, but they came out super tart and were not a hit.
