When I put this recipe together, I was on my usual mission: keep it simple, keep it quick, keep it wallet-friendly. Because let’s be honest… how are our bank accounts looking at this point in the month? Thriving? Surviving? Crying in the corner?

Wherever you are at — emotionally or financially — trust me, this recipe’s got you. It’s easy, cosy, affordable, and ready to hug your stomach.
