Dinner for Mom: Make it Memorable on Mother´s DayYou've given Mom a plethora of wonderful gifts, including perfume, a new wallet and stunning silk scarf, and you're anxious to cap off the perfect day with a delicious meal. Sure, hopping into the car and heading to a restaurant would be the easy thing to do, but imagine the wait you'll encounter once you get there. (Doesn't anyone take reservations anymore?) Why not prepare the meal yourself? Here are eight tips to make it easy: What you will need to create the perfect meal
Pico de Gallo1 large white onion 3 large tomatoes 3 small Serrano peppers, or 1 large Jalapeno pepper 1 bunch cilantro (more commonly known as coriander) Peel onion and chop finely. Chop tomatoes and add to onion mixture. Finely chop Serrano (or Jalapeno) peppers and add to onion and tomatoes. (Be advised that the pepper seeds themselves can be very hot. Adjust to personal taste.) Rinse cilantro well, then place on paper towel and gently squeeze dry. Chop, and add to mixture. Stir everything well, cover with wrap, and place in refrigerator. Juice will accumulate as mixture sits, so stir occasionally. Serve as you would salsa -- with chips, over fish, on top of a baked potato...whatever suits your fancy.
