Pancakes, Tuna Sandwiches, and Black Pepper Chicken
This week brings easy, delicious, healthy options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I absolutely love these buckwheat and banana pancakes, which I came up with when making breakfast for a friend who doesn’t eat eggs or dairy and doesn’t love wheat. I like the challenge of making super healthy food that doesn’t taste like it belongs in California in the 1970s. If my son likes them, then anyone will like them! The quick tuna sandwich makes a satisfying lunch and the soy-mayo spread really makes it sing. The chicken dinner is so easy it’s ridiculous. Just make sure your pantry is stocked with fish sauce and rice vinegar from the Asian market—they add incredible depth of flavor, it will taste like you have been slaving all day. If you only buy one organic item, it should be the chicken. Cook with love! Make it great!

Buckwheat & Banana Pancakes
This combination of nutty buckwheat and sweet, sticky banana is just great. These happen to be vegan, but don’t taste like it.
Asian Tuna Sandwiches with Soy & Sesame Mayo
An out-of-this-world sandwich that can also be served without the bread on a bed of arugula with the soy and sesame mayonnaise as dressing.
Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken
What you always wish take-out will taste like but sadly never does. Serve with jasmine or brown rice and stir-fried or steamed veggies.
