Wondering what to make for the Mother’s Day? How about a delicious five or even six course meal? Everything from appetizers to desserts?! Ready for ideas?
We happened to invite a few friends over this Saturday and here is what we will serve:
Another wonderful hit from the Vegalicious kitchen! It can be served both as the main dish or a salad, and either hot or cold.
I had some precooked quinoa sitting around and Hubby was on the way home from work last night. I had to whip up dinner and had to do it quickly. Less than 10 minutes into my brainy idea dinner was done! This is one of the main reasons I always have some pre-cooked grain and beans in my refrigerator or the freezer–being prepared makes healthy living a breath!
So, here we go!

Over the weekend I was at Whole Foods doing my regular weekly shopping. The tasters were out and I got to, for the first time, taste plantains. I have always been curious, but never got around to it. Now, however, that is going to be a thing of the past.
I tasted a plantain salad and fell in love with the new taste. The salad would have been perfect, have they not guzzled a ton of oil into it, but it gave me an inspiration. I got the ingredients that I thought would be complimentary and headed home to make my own plantain salad. It turned out fabulous! You must try making it! (But you must like plantains to enjoy it. My hubby, who loves to gorge on bananas, for some reason was not a huge fan, although plantains are in the same family, only a bit more tart.)
Make sure to let your plantains ripen before making the salad, otherwise it might not be as enjoyable.
