What’s “The Platter”?
The Blooming Platter offers a growing collection of recipes for creative appetizers, beverages, snacks, soups, salads, sides and entrees with a tendency toward ethnic fusion dishes, lightened-up comfort foods and updated classics with a twist. A baker since childhood, I also include a burgeoning selection of dessert recipes that will tempt even the staunchest dairy-lover. Here's to compassionate plant-based cooking and eating!

About Betsy DiJulio
When Betsy—an award-winning art teacher and practicing artist—is not teaching, making art, reading, writing, or walking her new dogs, Patsy and Urban, she can often be found in downward dog on her yoga mat.
And after that? A little food, a little more wine, and a lot of communing with friends, family, and students (well, no wine for her students).
In addition to authoring The Blooming Platter Cookbook, Betsy is a regular contributor, columnist, or featured writer for:
- SchoolArts
- Coastal Virginia Magazine
- VEER
- The Virginian-Pilot
- Alimentum
Look for the occasional link here on her website.
Besides art and cooking, Betsy admits to being a little obsessed with:
-Anything eco- or animal-friendly
-Artisanal and small business ventures
-Day hiking
-Consignment fashion
-Design in its many forms, especially interiors and landscapes
Did someone say mid-century modern?

After a rousing game of “pull” this morning, the Danes take a rest. Notice the pull toy is right in the center. It must have been a tie.

Thanks! They are just killing me together. And I can't believe how much Minnie has grown until I look back at "baby" pictures from a couple of months ago. Even her head is bigger!

Took me a minute to figure out what was what. . .they are adorable! 🙂

Yes, all things merge into one and a pull toy runs through it! (Do you know that line from "And a River Runs through It"?

It is really dear, but the funny thing about such a scene is what it doesn't tell: if Huff stretches his legs or starts having a dream and twitching in his sleep and bumps Minnie also sleeping, she snaps! As in, she literally tries to bite. It's just a defensive reaction, but it is instant and no joke! She lets out this sharp bark when she does it too, which is quite startling in the middle if the night. I've learned to put something other than one of my limbs between them when she's sleeping near his legs! oxo
