NOOK n’ NOTES

The concept behind it was to create a series of dishes with homemade “junk foods” — made with wholesome ingredients, or, well, not always that wholesome — but at least you can be sure the oil you fry your admittedly unhealthy pre-fried potatoes in is clean.

POV: It’s scorching hot outside, and you don't have the energy to cook… So you end up whipping up some homemade ‘junk food’ with whatever ingredients you have in the fridge.

On a blistering hot day with no energy to cook, this easy-to-make sandwich is a perfect solution. Made with a tortilla, crispy chicken nuggets, creamy kipourou sauce, fresh onion, sliced potatoes, juicy tomato, and vibrant peppers, it’s a delightful and satisfying homemade treat using simple fridge staples.

This sandwich has a tortilla, some chicken nuggets, kipourou sauce, fresh onion, potatoes, tomato, and cubanelle peppers, and it’s delicious!

POV: You’re hungry and thinking about ordering takeout, but you end up making something with whatever ingredients you have in the fridge.

Today, I made a quick dish with chicken nuggets, tortilla, potatoes, tomato, and mustard sauce.

To avoid ordering junk food every time I want takeout, I always keep pre-fried potatoes (not the healthiest choice), chicken nuggets, and mayonnaise in my fridge.

I used a whole wheat tortilla, added potatoes, chicken nuggets, salt, a bit of pepper, and light mayonnaise.

For extra flavor, I made an additional sauce (to be honest, it wasn’t as thick as it should have been) and added mustard, lemon juice, and a bit of water.

That’s how I managed to put together a quick and tasty meal without resorting to takeout.
