To combine the Caribbean staples of beans, potato and greens is to invite the sunshine of the islands to dinner or lunch. This dish works hot as a vegetarian main course or cold as a salad alongside seafood or fish. Bring on the reggae!
I don’t think I have ever been served breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day but I have been made breakfast. Being gluten free for over 20 years means I didn’t eat a lot of pancakes, muffins, scones and other wheat-filled products. The gluten free versions never seemed to taste as good. Fortunately, as more and more people are following a gluten free diet, the food industry is producing more and more options and they are getting tastier all the time. Chefs are getting more creative, there are numerous gluten free websites and cookbooks out there to help us enjoy some old standards like the blueberry pancake recipe in this post. My sister-in-law gave me the beautiful cookbook, Gluten Free and Easy, a couple of years ago for Christmas and it has a variety of tasty recipes. My daughter loves to cook for me so she has promised to make me these pancakes for Mother’s Day.
