Lunchtime on our side of the world! Since I have my parents over I wanted to keep things simple as we want to spend as much time together as possible. I might have mentioned before that my mom love mangoes so I treated them on an easy lunch pasta with a mango parsley dressing.
They loved it. Even my dad wasn't complaining about the dish being vegan. Though he reduced his meat portions drastically the past few months, vegetarian or vegan dishes are not his thing.
But he admitted that it was good! One bite at a time. I know he will never be a vegan or vegetarian and that's absolutely fine. Like mentioned before, I don't want to push people into certain diets, but I want him to eat more fruits and veggies.... a win for me today!
