Yall!!! Matthew’s tuna salad is fire!! It is so good. On bread. On crackers. The wasabi puts it over the top. I didn’t have onions but it didn’t need it! I was skeptical but wow! I put the wasabi on each cracker and for me that made it awesome. I think if I had mixed it and it was in every bite it would have been too much. Go make it!!!

I am such a fan of oatmeal. What about you?

This banana oatmeal is packed with flavor. Wet ingredients to oatmeal are 2 to one. I used half cup of water and half cup of half and half. Use your liquid of choice. While making the oatmeal I also carmelizes the banana in a sizzling half tsp coconut oil and 1 tblspn maple syrup. 5 min each side. Now back to the oatmeal. Once it comes to a bowl turn it down to simmer add in a pinch of cinnamon and about half tsp of vanilla (I used more of both) and half tsp salt. Cooked to your desired doneness. Pour in a bowl. I poured in a small handful of raisins 1/4 cup sugar free dark chocolate chips the caramelized bananas and a dollop of Greek yogurt! Super yummy!
