Leftover salad

The week before Christmas

I'm trying to not spend too much on food for this week towards Christmas because my boyfriend's birthday as well as Christmas are costing us some extra money as well as the rising food prices making the (simple) Christmas menu even more expensive than it usually is in December. Therefore, I decided to have a few days with simple and cheap food in the next week as well as pick some things where I can use the leftovers for some other dish within a heartbeat.

We had wraps a few days ago

Whenever we eat wraps, I cut the ingredients and place everything in bowls on the table so we can all pick the right amount ingredients to our liking. I usually have the best looking wrap ingredient-wise while my boyfriend always has the perfect rolled up wrap, lol. I really enjoy wraps to be honest, especially because it means we can usually have a wrap for lunch the next day (saves time) as well as use the remaining ingredients that are cut already for a quick salad or so.

Salad in a heartbeat

Yesterday I was actually trying out something new, at least in terms of prepping it myself, when I discovered I missed a step and realizing it would take much longer than I expected to finish the dish. It was already close to 8 PM and I figured this wasn't going to be our dinner for the day. I usually manage to create a quick salad if I have some canned tuna at home. I was lucky to have that too yesterday and with still plenty of fresh baby spinach, I only needed to add some cucumber, paprika and grated cheese to it to have a very simple but nice salad. Of course, some pepper and salt and extra virgin olive oil are a must!

And with that, our dinner was ready!
