It’s my turn to rise and throw up my arms for the “pretty food” wave! Starting the wave were two of my favorite food bloggers, Erin from Erin Cooks and Katy from Sugarlaws, who each incorporated sweet little heart motifs into their creations.

The center bread is pre-grilled to keep it crispy and a zesty avocado spread accents the flavors. This is [...]
