Good Morning

My boyfriend and i decided to live a lil bit healthy from now on. :D Like no more eating out everyday, more veggies and fruits and a glass of wine instead of few glasses of rhum and coke before bedtime for him.
So today I made this for our breakfast.
Oatmeal with mixed berries and a drizzle of honey.

Anti oxidant overload :D

Chicken chop suey with mushroom for our dinner.

And now enjoying a glass of wine before his bedtime.
