To me, it’s shocking it has taken me this long to post about one of my favourite and oft used quickie meals. Really, there’s not much to it. It’s simple. It’s quick. And there is no recipe, per se. But I feel the need to show you how awesome and meal-like a humble breakfast sandwich…

How To: Quickie Meal – Tomato, Basil and White Wine Mussels
