I don’t have to go far to retrieve my daily dose of cinnamon. It’s a huge part of early morning (breakfast) meal. You see, I consume the whole-grain and filling oatmeal at least four times per week.

Look ye here! Look ye here! I’ve the main ingredients for banana and oatmeal pancakes over here! It’s nothing new; but for me, whenever I enjoy a dish, I’ve no qualms in a repeat performance.

MY MORNING STAPLE #OATMEAL
If it’s the week morning, I’ve got to go oatmeal. When it comes to my daily meal plan, I consume what works for me.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
It was a quick chop and drop for your truly. Had some left-over roasted jerk/apple-flavored chicken (white-meat) from Sunday’s supper.

It was quite a filling lunch this afternoon. Paired some hard-boiled eggs with warm sardines and onions along with nature’s butter (avocado). Served same on a bed of garlic-flavored asparagus spears. Added a few whole grain crackers on the side (not in pic). I was happy and satiated.
LINGUINE WITH KALE/BROCCOLI PESTO TOPPED WITH HONEY/LEMON SHRIMP
I went a little over the top with nature’s wholesome greens. it was sort of leap out of the ‘box’; in that I created a pesto from atypical ingredients. Instead of the classic basil and/or other herbs, I opted for kale, broccoli and parsley. Greens were rinsed in tepid water and then added to foodContinue reading “LINGUINE WITH KALE/BROCCOLI PESTO TOPPED WITH HONEY/LEMON SHRIMP”
