I’m feeling a bit under the weather today – Nothing serious, just an annoying cough and achey. The sort of day that reminds you that you really shouldn’t eat cake for your lunch EVERY day!
Whenever I feel a bit inside out, I always search for the fruit or veg. I’m still not a massive fruit fan but love vegetables.
I also knew that I didn’t have the energy to stand cooking in the kitchen for ages but whatever I had, had to be hugely tasty.
This is one of my most simplest recipes and feels so virtuous. I’m definitely a fan of feeding a cold – I’ve never really got to grips with the starve the fever bit of that saying though!
Obviously whatever veg you have in will do – being ill is all about not having the energy to go shopping, right? I even used frozen salmon and microwaved it – and the world didn’t cave in!
The portions in this recipe serve 2, just in case you have a nurse maid come to visit you. And I know the picture isn’t the best, but quite frankly, it was the best I could do – sorry.

Thank you for linking up with #FridayFoodie
I always think I’m taking the easy option when we have salmon – we always have tons of it in the freezer. I need to expand my fish repertoire a lot! x
ooh now this is one I would like to try!
Cor this looks ace. Your photos are fab. The thing that gets me is that it looks really easy to do and even a fool like me can’t mess it up! One for a midweek tea for us, methinks! Thanks for this xxx
YUM. Now this I can make. I have been feeling so ill lately that fruit and veg are about the only foods that don’t make me sick. This sounds like the perfect comfort food
