It's been a week since I've created a great veggie dish. Sorry, if you were checking the blog looking for something fun, it's just been a crazy week. I've been busy at work, after work activities (to celebrate MY Birthday!) and getting things together for a little weekend jaunt to Gatlinburg. I left my vegetables behind, unless you want to count the blueberries that were in my mediocre pancakes at breakfast yesterday or the cherries in my deliciously alcoholic "cherry flip" at the Hardrock Cafe.
However, I remembered my promise to retry the plantains. Pretty sure that plantains just aren't my thing. First, I let it get almost black and after a week I could still see the yellow skin. Come on a banana doesn't last that long. Tonight I sliced it thinly and horizontal. I prepared them just as I had last Sunday, with brown sugar and buttered by way of frying in the skillet. They did not have the "green banana" taste but were still missing something. Sorry- I just don't think I've got the taste. Try them though, you might like them.
While I took the week off cooking there was research done. I've prepared a shopping list and some recipes for this week. It's a little ambition for me to get these 3 dishes in but with your encouragement I know I'll get it done. Here's a sneak peek for what's planned:
Balsamic Greenbeans
Spinach Dumplings
Vegetarian Lasagna
Stay Tuned....and have a healthy week!
