Nothing in the kitchen

I visited my friend's condo which she moved in just a day ago. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon so we decided to make dinner at home and off to the grocery store we went.

But there was one challenge.

Everything - literally everything - was packaged away in boxes and bags. We did not have plates, frying pan, pot, cutting board, knife or scissors. We were able to scavenge a few butter knives, forks and lunchboxes here and there. Surprisingly we had a can opener too. So our grocery list really evolved around the kitchen wares we had.

Fortunately for us, this was our dinner  =]

20-mins tuna salad

Here is a list of ingredients (serves one person):

• Leafy green salad mix - half a package
• Tomato - half
• Tuna (canned in water) - half can
• Avocado - quarter fruit
• Chickpeas (canned) - approx. half cup (125ml)
• Dried cranberry and nut mix - sprinkle
• Olives - 6
• Balsamic vinegar - 1-2 tbsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp 

To make this salad more filling, try adding a whole grain item such as quinoa, lentils or brown rice. 

We thought of adding a bit of cheese but we didn't have scissors to open the package =P 

Let me know your quick salad dinner ideas!

  

What's in the foodbOWL?

The owl (a.k.a. Owwly) in the foodbOWL has an interest in foods, drinks and nutrition. She wants to enjoy delicious and healthy foods but she is also too lazy to spend hours on meal preparation everyday.

One night, after much procrastination and encouragement from her friends, Owwly decided to start experimenting with quick meal ideas.

From bread making (with many failing attempts) to pasta, sandwiches and salads, Owwly would like to share her experiments with friends and also learn what they are cooking up!

So, what's in your foodbOWL?
