I love cooking and kitchen is my meditation lab. I usually check the fridge, kitchen cabinet, and create a dish or two with whatever I can find in there.
Today, I found pancake mix, soya milk, some fruits, carrots, asparagus, nuts… And here’s my simple breakfast & lunch. I took 10min to make the blueberries, banana pancakes and 15min to prepare lunch. They are easy and quick to make. Plus, it save me ten to twenty dollars today. Are you interested to prepare them too? Here are my recipes. Tell me if you like them. blueberry, banana and almond pancake this recipe make 5-7 pancakes.

My invited guest, Tim Hamons (professional Graphic Facilitator) shared with me why he loves it so much.
“Every spoonful is exciting, with fragrance from garlic & onion, spiciness from chilli, freshness from asparagus & carrot, crunchiness from nuts, sweetness from cranberries and exotic punch from basil leave! This is so tasty and so yummy”
He asked if I can prepare this for his lunch everyday?
I chuckled! :p
