Lunch: Zucchini & potato w/ tomato sauce

I had one poor little white zucchini left in the fridge and it was begging for attention, so I decided to cook it for lunch today. I also cut up some leftover cooked potato from Sunday, and poured some tomato sauce all over it. Perhaps it doesn't look to pretty but it tasted good and that's what really matters! :) /E

My own hummus!

Today I made hummus for the first time!
I used this recipe from Angela at ohsheglows.com . Actually I didn't have all the ingredients (as usual) so I made my own version, which was really tasty anyway! :)

This is the recipe for my version:
One can of precooked kidney beans (about 1½ cups or 250g)
7-8 teaspoons of squeezed lemon
2 drops of Louisiana hot sauce (didn't have any tabasco)
1 small teaspoon of salt, I used mineral salt with less sodium
2 teaspoons of garlic powder, since I didn't have any fresh cloves at home
a little olive oil & paprika powder for decoration :)

I can honestly say that I've never been a big fan of hummus... But this tasted really good! I ate it with some nachos, but then I cut up some carrots to sticks and ate that instead. It tasted SO good with carrots, so I totally recommend it!

Lunch: Pasta and tomato sauce

mushrooms and frozen spinach

Inspiration was completely lacking... But then when I opened the pantry the premade tomato sauce and some pasta jumped right at me! Then it felt easier..

Radiatori & full grain fusilli pasta

I started with cooking the pasta since the sauce only needed to be heated up. In the freezer I found some frozen spinach (note to self: thaw it in the microwave or something before putting it in the sauce next time!) i tossed in there as well.

 Then I took some mushrooms and a small bag of corn that I had forgot about (taco leftovers!). After making four lunchboxes I didn't have very much pasta left, so next time I'm making more! The sauce was enough though so I'm glad anyway. To make it a bit extra "festive" I had some mango juice too drink. It's the first time I've had it (It's been sitting in my fridge all summer...) and it taste really good. So, here's a picture of the finished meal:

Bon appetit!

Time to do the dishes..! Take care and please share if you have any nice recipes! :)

Lunch of the day

 

 

Yesterday I invited my parents to taco night! Tacos are really easy to make, just fry the ground meat, cut up the veggies you like and heat up the tortillas a bit :) And as usual it gives a lot of leftovers, which is why I'm having taco lunch today. Yummy!
