Beans with tuna and eggs in the oven

Beans with tuna and eggs in the oven

Sometimes, I just feel like cooking simple comfort food… and most importantly, easy and fast to prepare… True, some days I actually don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. Sometimes, when this happens I end up recruiting my boyfriend to the kitchen which is also a good thing. He cooks really nice pasta dishes which I always enjoy. But, because I finish work a few hours before him, I feel guilty to just seat at home waiting and then ask him to cook dinner. I don’t think it’s fair…

Almost everyday I make a trip to the supermarket when I finish work. I would have though of a recipe and off I go to get the ingredients. But some days, I can only think about getting home and dinner will be a last minute resolution from what’s on the cupboards and in the fridge – like these beans with tuna and eggs in the oven.

I admit that beans and tuna may not sound like a normal combination but it’s good, believe me 🙂 and it’s an economical recipe. Together with a few other ingredients that are always around, I cooked quite a nice dish for dinner…
