When you’re at home, by yourself, or with your significant other, and nothing much is happening, and you don’t really feel like eating or cooking or anything much… what do you eat for lunch?
It’s always a last minute open-the-fridge-what’s-the-first-3-ingredients-I-find sort of meal for me. I do have a bit of rhyme to my reason – I try to incorporate:
a serve of protein
a serve of carbs
a couple of serves of veg
But apart from that, it’s really up to the Fridge-Fates.
This is what happened today. This sort of meal works because my daughter LOVES peas and will point to the freezer and beg for them. It’s handy that at that age the 2 words PEAS and PLEASE sound rather similar. Ah…On second thoughts, she’s probably hankering for icecream. 
I want to teach you THE easiest way to cook peas because it saves you a heap of time and it’s like you’re not even cooking. To most well-versed cooks it’s going to sound like I’m pandering to you here but bear with me – novice cooks will thank me!
Grab a small high-walled bowl and a little strainer.
Fill bowl with frozen peas and then with hot water from the tap then strain the peas and do it a few times until the water runs warm.
Then put hot water in the bowl until just covering the peas and put them in a microwave on high for 1 minute.
Ta Da! Cooked, plump, delicous peas.
While I was doing this I put an egg on to fry on a low heat. Then I mixed a bit of grainy mustard and parmesan cheese through the peas, toasted a couple of tortillas and chucked the fried egg on top of it all.
So, what did you eat for lunch?
Seen it? Changed it? Cooked it? Tasted it? Why not leave a response!
