Sig's Lunch in Bed :) Sig's Lunch in Bed :)
I am still off my feet, but yesterday both Tony and Sho were busy until later in the evening. I got very hungry and I wanted to have something simple but tasty I come up with this.I had mashed potatoes left and was not very hungry the day before, I needed something that I could do quick and easy myself other than another bowl of porridge. I only wished I had fresh spinach as well.This meant not much stress standing up on my body either. Not any cutting other than the cutting out with cutter (I cut portions with pizza wheel) and the breaking of an egg and my grill was easy to reach and I not needed to bend. I have not cooked for a while because of my fall other than heating up mainly soups that I made and had frozen .It felt really good. -

Had a potato cake in mind for lunch and decided to bake it in oven rather than in a pan. I covered it with pizza style toppings, except passata as this would make it soggy. Pesto could work though may be spread on top of the tomato. #myfavouriterecipes #mycookbook -
