For most of C's first year, I had lunch out a couple of times a week, meeting various friends and family. However, since she became a toddler, getting out for lunch is a rarity, for a few reasons. Top of the list is that she can't sit still for more than about 15 seconds unless it's breakfast or dinner time. She also naps from 12 - 2 which makes meeting people more difficult. Plus since PermanentTSB decided we weren't paying enough mortgage interest on our drastically devalued house, there really isn't the cash floating around to pay for ciabattas and lattes that often.
Apart from dinner, my daily diet has seemed to consist of little more than porridge, fruit and toast (plus a mountain of chocolate) for the past couple of months so this week I decided to get a bit more proactive and root out some tasty looking lunch recipes that didn't take too long to make.
So I tried this yesterday and it couldn't have been better. Takes 10 minutes to make and it kind of tastes like summer, especially when the sun obliges and you can eat al fresco. Enjoy!
