Vegetables are cool

I'm sharing a vegetable recipe book I made 

The cover is a vegetable print from Temu . I decopodged onto a chipboard cover I bought on clearance at hobby lobby. The pages are natural colorpages I decorated with recipes and food related items. 

This makes a great addition to a basket of vegetables from your garden or a recipe from the book. Lisa
