First posted Oct 2015 When you're too tired to cook or shop and need to rely on a larder staple for a quick meal, this is one of my favourite fall backs.

Hotels – Please clean up your acts & ditch the single use plastics x
Travelling round the UK with work for the past six months has been fabulous in so many ways.
