If you are wondering what to serve for Mother's Day, consider Cornish hens for a festive entree. To keep the portions of animal protein, fat and calories under control, use just half of a hen for each serving instead of a whole bird, and fill the rest of the plate with a variety of whole grains and vegetables. That way, the special Mom in your life can have her hen and keep her health too.
