As the first season of iZombie winds down, it’s been an enlightening glimpse into the modern zombie lifestyle. Take-out brain food services and tanning beds are dierigueur as modern zombies try to find their way and keep their full zombie freakouts to a minimum. Like a quarter-life crisis, but with more death.

Protagonist Liv Moore’s eating habits are entrancing. Watching the way she dresses her food to make it seem more palatable every week is inspiring. She makes brains look, well… delicious. This recipe is inspired by Liv’s food creativity, but I have a secret that will disappoint zombie everywhere: it’s not really brains at all. Despite what it looks like there are no brains in this dish, simply strawberry Jell-o with a swirl of Greek Yogurt poured into brain molds. It’s not for the squeamish, though; it still looks pretty real.

Sit back and enjoy a Liv Moore-inspired Spicy Noodle Salad as you watch this week’s finale of iZombie!
