As I noted last month, mint and pastels have been taking over the runway. I truthfully have never incorporated pastels into my closet until a couple of weeks ago when I purchased my first pair of mint-colored capris. I usually opted for dark jeans and a top that was either gray, white, or black. The same applied to my food choices. Until recently, except for fruit, my food would be brown or white (chocolate and pasta). However, besides colorful cupcake frosting and fruit, there are so many different ways to make food more colorful and fun. Staying true to the spring trends, these desserts prove that you can include color in your diet without disrupting your usual and comfortable routine.
