Between The Holidays

 These days between Christmas and New Year should be easy. No work. Sleeping in. Cooking should be easy too. Think air fryer and microwave dishes that are simple to make. 

I found this with all Lidl products. I just wanted something simple but tasty. I used their chili starter which is just tomatoes with cumin and chili powder and microwaved it with chickpeas and red kidney beans.

I just added a splash of olive oil and water. It was then microwaving it for five minutes .



I added rice  and it was a great meal, simple without too many frills. To add to it I threw in Lidl's El Taquito's avocado bits.

These are the size of chicken nuggets but there's creamy avocado inside a tasty, fiery crust. This gave the chili some oomph. Yes there was dessert.A gain it was Lidl's Favorina brand of Pandora, the Northern Italian holiday sweetbread. Mine was a mini version.
it was a fun treat afterwards. plain simple, but oh so buttery.

This week is a time for rest and relaxation. Keep the cooking simple. Use the air fryer. use the microwave. It's make for easier meals.
