When I was a child, a friend’s grandparents had peacocks. For a long time, I had a beautiful peacock feather that they gave me. I am a little surprised that this is my first time making a peacock out of food. It was a concept on my mind for a long time. I made this peacock quesadilla for my Mom’s lunch.

Peacock Body: Zucchini (a different type from my CSA)

Feet and Beak: Carrot

Eye: Dried blueberry

Feather on Head: Parsley
