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?

All of your food looks so yummy! Don't forget I am making your wings for my blog on Saturday!!! I am really looking forward to it!!!

Why, thank you. Life's too short to eat bad food! I'm so glad you're making and posting the wings; hope you love them. Let me know. And do consider no–or very little–vinegar in the sauce since the blue "cheez" is so tangy. Enjoy!

As you can imagine, I had lots of dip leftover from the photo shoot for my column and, while I could have sat down and eaten it all with a spoon, it seemed like a more responsible decision to transform it and share it with a friend and his elderly mother. 🙂 I'm pleased to report that they loved it.

Good call! I use the spinach ones you speak of. Great color and flavor and maybe a smidge more nutrition.
