By now you’ve guessed that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Let me show you why.

| quinoa with balsamic-cooked cinnamon apples and walnuts |
 |
| oat bran cooked with cocoa powder and apple, topped with hazelnut granola, chocolate hazelnut butter and caramel apple butter |
 |
| apple date oat bran with granola and maple almond butter |
 |
| Buckwheat banana bake inspired by Ashley! Mixed with cranberries and a plantain, topped with unsalted almond butter and coconut |
Just look at that gooey goodness.
My snacks/desserts have been stellar, too.

| roasted plantain topped with cocoa sauce (2.5 tbsps dark cocoa powder mixed with water and stevia) |
If you’ve never had a plantain, get thee to a grocery store and look for them. Just don’t get a green one if you’re planning on roasting/cooking it for a sweet purpose. You will be sorely disappointed, as it tastes like a potato. But the yellow/black ones? Oh, they’re diviiiiine. Sweeter and thicker and richer than regular bananas.
However…dinner has been great, too. Due to some stomach problems, I’ve been attempting some creativity.

| two veggie burgers, rolled in two swiss chard leaves along with guacamole, mustard and ketchup and paired with parsnip fries and asparagus. |
Who am I kidding. Back to breakfast.

| maple almond butter apple oat bran with caramel apple butter |

| sun butter oats with apple and rolled chopped dates |
Annnnnnd…buckwheat pancake fail. I made these pancakes the same way I made the coconut sprinkled cakes the other week, but I think buckwheat doesn’t hold up very well in comparison to actual pancake mix. So…fail. I ate it. But still. Total fail.
And currently I’m eating raw ice cream made from cashews. MINT CHOCOLATE raw ice cream made from cashews. And it’s delicious. I wish I had an ice cream maker. It would save me a ton of money.
