50 Shades of Purple (Omelette)

Are you one of those who just cannot get enough of food of the purple hue?

Grapes, yam, blueberries, eggplants and that red cabbage.

Traditional Filipino snack recipes like Halaya and Sapin-Sapin.  Even Ube Ice Cream!

Refreshing Berry smoothie and Grape juice slush!

The list can go on!

I surely have a penchant for such.  

To me, any dish with this bright shade never fails to turn up a notch in my yummy chart. 📈

So, sharing with you this colorful dish that my family gobbled up a few suppers ago.

Hope you give it a try,  tweak here and there to your taste and let me know how your version goes!

Food for thought:

Will too much purple food turn one's complexion a hint of purple? 😎  

The same way that eating carrots or squash too frequently can make one's skin orange!
