Inspired by this week’s weekly photo challenge, I hereby bring you my “Lunchtime” photo…
Yesterday and today TC and I went out for a ride of about 40km, one we do often, along the sea front. While it was sunny today, there was a strong northerly wind that was cold. It’s obviously being generated from all the snow that they are still having in the north, so that’s how cold the wind was – cold enough that my toes were numb when we got home.
Cold rides like that make me want to eat a nice hot lunch on our return. Lately I’ve discovered just how healthy and low-fat baked jacket potatoes are with a variety of vegetable toppings.
Today I was like Popeye the Sailor Man and got a decent serve of spinach in with my lunch. I’ve never bought frozen spinach before, but after this, I am a fan!
While the potato was baking (ok, I admit I use the microwave for this) I diced a large clove of garlic and a medium tomato. I had previously defrosted some frozen spinach. I heated up a little olive oil in a frying pan, added the garlic & tomato, sauteed for 3-4 minutes then added the spinach to heat through.
I then put this all over my baked potato (cut open of course), topped it with a tablespoon of light philly cheese and a grating of lemon zest.
Delicious and just what I needed to warm me through. Enjoy!
Doesn’t that look delicious? Nice.
Thankyou 🙂
Delicous and healthy. A great combination and it looks wonderful.
Thankyou, I am trying to be extra healthy & lose a few kilos at the moment, so meals like this are ideal 🙂
Just don’t go harrassing innocent beavers while you’re at it! JB
Unfair! Your photo not only is better than any of mine, it makes me hungry while I’m eating my lunch! Great pic!
LOL thankyou 🙂
I don’t see any wine!
LOL, touché!! But your table looked so good with the garden, food, sunshine.. that’s just calling out for a nice rosé 🙂
