It’s no secret I LOVE the color red.

I Love my red kitchen,

red fabric covered furniture,

red camera strap cover…

I could go on and on.

It’s been one of my favorite colors for more years than I can remember…

Red converse sneakers, red jackets, a touch of red is always a good idea!

So the thought of making food that isn’t normally red, red. I just had to give it a try.
