A Haven's Food Mosaic



Dear heavens this was labor intensive. My techie skills, even with vast amounts of help from Big Huge Labs, etc., are quite poor. After hours of fooling around, I finally have something that I like — food and lots of it.

There's a gal...when I find her again, I'll pop in her name...who always shares what each item in her collage is. I like that. I'm going to copy her. It's the sincerest form of flattery after all.
(She may be Olivia.)

First row left to right

1. Brown rice salad with day lily garnish

2. Big bowl of Cortlands

3. Blueberry clafouti

4. Basic Tollhouse cookies

5. Brin's skillet cookies

Second row left to right

1. Rhubarb bread

2. Valentine Tea

3. Homemade Pizza

4. An Italian

5. Rustic bread

Third row left to right

1. 4th of July breakfast

2. Bananas

3. Skillet Cinnamon Rolls

4. Crumble Top Apple Pie

5. Pastel M&Ms

You can find many of these recipes right in my recipe box on the sidebar. It's a two-step process, but it may prove worthwhile. You'll find the recipes highlighted in fun colors linked to their blogs of origin.

I think that I'll be baking something for my dear blogging friend Happyone because she's not going to be able to do a lot of baking while touring about in my corner. Surely she'll miss her favorite evening snack and this way I can help her out. I'm so excited to be meeting her and her husband Ken this week and, yes, of course, I'll tell you all about it!

Just click on the title of this post to be whisked away to Mary's Mosaic Monday. Enjoy your week...

  5. Man you did a great job. The construction is pretty neat and of course the food looks great. I have not had breakfast yet. HH is making the breakfast while I am getting my early morning blog surprises. The sun is shining so nice and there is a gentle breeze today. Enjoy this day.

  6. Your collage is beautiful. I know what you mean by labor intensive. I worked so hard at photographing, cropping and creating the collage, only to have the individual pictures so small, you can hardly see them. I use Picasa.

  8. Hi Vee! What a yummy mosaic!! The food all looks soooo good! I recently discovered Photoscape....so much more user-friendly for mosaics! You can actually see what you are doing as it progresses instead of having to wait for it to be created at the end! It's free, too. Have a great week!...Debbie

  9. I didn't even know you had a recipe box on your blog. I printed out the rhubarb bread recipe. I love rhubarb and oddily Kroger somehow has fresh rhubarb for sale. I always thought of it as a spring crop? Anyway, lovely mosaic. I've never made one but I'm going to have a look at the link. I need help making a header and I think someone said you could make one there.

  21. I think your mosaic making skills are very admirable. It looks yummy. Now if you figure out how to make it "scratch & sniff" let me know.

    As a faithful reader of your blog and Happyone's I am looking forward to hearing all about your upcoming meeting. I wonder if you are making her chocolate chip cookies and ice cream? Have a great time.

  38. Hey Vee,
    I've returned from my trip to Florida, having eaten my weight in delicious food while I was there, and I come to your blog and find nothing but temptation, temptation, temptation. You're really putting my WW skills to the test. lol
    Hope you have a great time meeting your blogging friend. I met up with Kat from Just a Beach Kat while I was in Florida and it was so much fun. I can't wait to read all about how your meeting goes (and don't forget to take pictures!).
