Fashionably Late

This was from a dinner party with Tim's family a few weeks back. We created a Costa Rican inspired menu, and almost everything was organic (thanks Food Co-op!) and fresh fresh fresh:

1. Guacamole, Sesame Blue Tortilla Chips, Olives
2. Melon soup with mint
3. Fresh pinto beans (no cans here!) simmered all day w/ garlic bulbs
4. Spanish Brown Rice simmered in veggie broth and tomato
5. Corn on the cob, lightly brushed with olive oil and Himalayan Pink Salt
6. Mixed greens salad with red pepper, cucumber, and a homemade lemon & lime mint dressing
7. Fresh tomato salsa
8. Fresh mango salsa w/ cucumber (my personal favorite!)
9. Spinach Quesadillas w/ handmade tortillas
10. Dessert: fresh pineapple slices, strawberries, grapes, chocolate and Costa Rican coffee w/ Rice Milk








In honor of reliving Panacea at home, I had rice & beans the next morning, with a side of coffee and fruit for breakfast :)
