No-Bake, No-Cook and Super-fast: Ploughman’s Dinner

On Monday I shared one of our favorite ways to get dinner to the table in about 5 minutes flat.  Using fresh and ready-to-eat ingredients, you can enjoy Refried Bean Tacos without turning on your oven or stove.  Today I share my favorite way to get dinner to the table fast, I call it Ploughman’s Dinner.
 

Before we had children, SPH and I lived in London for several months.  It was an amazing experience, one for which I am forever grateful.  He was working full-time for his employer near where we lived.  My wonderful boss allowed me to take a leave of absence, as long as I was able to work for several hours a day to stay up on my workload.  So with the time difference, I would wake up with SPH and when he left for work, I would walk or take the Tube (the London subway) to explore new corners of the great city.  All I needed to do was to be back online by around 2pm to have a few hours to stay on top of my work.
 

Each day as I explored, I would often be out and about for lunch.  Ploughman’s Lunch is a popular lunch in the UK, one that consists basically of bread, cheese, ham and some fruit.  It is a quick, easy and popular way to power up at lunch time.  Why not use this same concept for your dinner plate?
