Still feeling that holiday rush? Ever wonder what date/day are we on? And still got tons of task, errands to do? Oh Yes! I do feel you! As I am writing this post. I am actually in panicking mode too!!! Few more hours before we turn the least leaf of 2018 and Welcome 2019 with awesomeness and still here I am thinking of what to prepare on our Media Noche. - New Year's Eve.
As I am running out of ideas, I did some digital file clean up and stumbled into these awesome bunch of food photos that I took during my Thailand Getaway earlier this year featuring the U.S Pulses. As I recall, these dishes that are incorporated with U.S Pulses do taste good and is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

| Sweet Potato & Chickpea Hummus with Salsa Verde Chicken Black-eyed Beans, Cucumber Mint Salad |
 |
| Chickpea & Green peas mini cakes. |
 |
| Pan-seared Salmon, Asparagus & Mashed Green Peas |
 |
| Chili-con-Carne with Kidney Beans |
Looks so yummy, isn't it? Easy Peasy! Incorporating U.S Pulses on a recipe is quite simple and doesn't require too much effort. But just like Indulge resto here, I think a good plating technique will be a plus factor and I bet your family will love this too most especially this festive season.
