August looks like tomatoes… and onions… and bell peppers. This wallpaper, is wham! and bright, but we are absolutely loving it. This year we made a promise to you, our lovely readers and to ourselves: we would be posting more healthy recipes, and the wallpapers are no exception. Notice that we haven’t posted a single dessert on your desktops? We want to post some good-looking desserts, but we seem to find healthier and amazing pictures on our every day cooking adventures instead.

Helga’s little girl, is asking more and more to be involved in the kitchen cooking both sweet and savory dishes, and she absolutely adores it! Specially after seeing all the videos from Everyday Food with Sarah Carey. Kristen watches the videos diligently, and even after we tell her that there’s a new one (from our Facebook feed), she often has seen them already. She even plays that she is recording kitchen videos and telling us how to make deserts. At 4, that is an accomplishment… specially since she narrates the video in english!

Ok, back to the wallpaper collection, this recipe will be up later this month, but we can tell you that these roasted vegetables are just plain amazing. Since in Guatemala we are going through our rainy season, often we find ourselves craving for dishes that are more warm and hearty. If you want to change-up your summer salad for something equally delicious and but even tastier, try roasting your vegetables. We’ve found that roasted tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and broccoli are a pleasant taste buds surprise on the table. You can serve them as a veggie side dish to chicken (our weekday protein).

We hope this wallpaper inspires you to eat more veggies and fruits (did you know that tomato is a fruit?) throughout August!
