Wednesday Roundup: painting Fall on cookies AND 18 other edible leaves

For today’s post, I’m sending you away first. Follow me over to Hungry Happenings, where I guest post with a tutorial on how to paint Fall on your cookies. Beth of Hungry Happenings has one of those creative-food-blogger minds that awes me. I’ve been a longtime fan of her work and a longtime blogging friend, too, so I’m honored to visit her in her internet home.

 

 

Need more leaf in your life? Some more shades of auburn, burnt sienna, and mustard? You can eat leaves all day if you want. (Hmmm, now I’m thinking of all the ways we eat actual leaves, both for health and for fun. I actually mean food-that-looks-like-leaves. I promise.)

 

Here are 18 clever ideas for eating your daily dose of leaves this fall, from breakfast to dessert:
