Stranded with a microwave

by | posted in: Recipes | 14

Happy Tuesday!

My days at the college in London have been crazy and very busy. I need to leave early and usually arrive back home late. Only equipped with a microwave in a small apartment in London getting a quick and healthy meal option late at night can be challenging! I try to avoid takeaway food or ready made meals.

So yesterday I tried a very simply yet  healthy and nutritious dish prepared by microwave using sweet potatoes and chick peas. I only added a bit of pepper and English mustard :). I really love tasting the natural flavor of ingredients.

Have you ever had to rely on a microwave only? How did you get along? 🙂

Thanks for stopping by.

    I’ve not tried this combo like this. I hardly use the microwave, but I do love chickpeas and also kale. I made a spinach hummus spread recently.

    never…I think I only use microwave just to heat the food.

    Hope you will feel better and full of energy soon again!

    Liebe Mahshid, Du bist ja eine Kochkünstlerin! Ich habe gar keine Mikrowelle, deswegen kann ich in der Sache gar nicht mitreden, aber mich beeindruckt es wirklich, wie kreativ Du bist <3 Hoffentlich findest Du trotz Deinem dichten Terminplan auch noch immer ein wenig Zeit für Dich …

    Alles Liebe aus Bayern von Rena
