Anything for love "huevos" rancheros

If you have a partner you have been where I was this morning. Dreaming from the night before about using my texmex left overs for my very first attempt at Huevos Rancheros. Getting up I asked "TheHusband" if he would like a cheese omelette and got a resounding "yes" so bounced (as much as an 8 months pregnant lady can) off into the kitchen to make our respective breakfasts. I open the carton of eggs only to discover 2 lonely eggs staring back at me.

What do I do? Tell make TheHusband porridge and hope he forgets he was offered eggs, or give up on my breakfast fantasies? As you may have guessed from the title of this post I chose to forfeit the eggs. I however do not regret it as my breakfast was delicious (and ultimately way too much for me anyway)

Red Bean Salsa

Sometimes the same old same old gets boring so when What's For Lunch brought something new to my birthday picnic I latched onto it. Her version was pimped from this recipe and I pimped it further (my changes in bold)

What you need:

1 tin red kidney beans

1 red bell pepper, cut into small cubes

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into small cubes

1 big handful fresh coriander, coarsely chopped

1 can (340g) corn, drained

1 red onion, finely chopped

100g small rosa tomatoes

1 firm avocado

Dressing

Juice of 1 lemon

2 cloves of garlic (crushed)

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

What to do:

Mix all the ingredients (except the dressing) together in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients for the dressing and pour over.

Serve with nachos or as part of a tortilla selection, as a healthy alternative, Slice a cucumber into cracker width diagonal pieces instead.
