Day One- Illness Makes the Wallet Grow Fatter...

We had panini sandwiches for lunch. Why is it that if you make any plain sandwich it will  magically transform into a delicious masterpiece once squashed between too hot surfaces? We had some leftover vegan curry ( homemade that hubby did up for NYE dinner) and a few shreds of Balderson cheese; rolled up in a gluten free rice wrap.

Cold, plain.
Hot, mmmhawt!

I think the panini grill is one of the best gadgets we have ever bought*. We saw it at a boxing day sale last year and, after listening to my sister go on about how great her panini press was, I had to join the panini club (Ha, see what I did there?). We chuck any veggie, leftover spaghetti, rice, cheese, pickle(the sky is the limit, we have paninied many crazy concoctions  they always taste good) into a wrap and a few minutes on the press and we have great deli meal.

For dinner, all I could muster was beans on toast. A cheap meal that we always have on hand. Topped off with couple clementines and a cuppa tea.  Not very inventive but legumes are a cheap healthy food we should include in our diet.

PS if you don't own a panini press, a fry pan and a brick covered well in tin foil works just as well.

Total food expenditure to date: 0.00


*I digress, I like all my kitchen gadgets.
