Good day my lovely steemit family. I think you may have noticed that my life has been crazy busy with our tuk-tuk bakery. Looking forward to our 2 days of on Wednesday en Thursday.

Though I am still making green drinks every day and cooking plant-based meals, I just don't find enough time anymore to post them all. Once I have more time I surely will share them with you as I have discovered a few new and yummy things.

Patience hehe.

Though I still spend a lot of time in the kitchen whenever I can, recipes as the one I'll add below are my new go-to quick and easy meals. They burst with flavor and yummy plant goodness and are so easy and super fast to make.

Ready? here we go.

Heat cooking over medium heat and saute onion for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, herb mix, ginger and cook for one minute more. Stir regularly.
