Mid-week (ie Wednesday) is the one meal that's fixed: home made macaroni&cheese :-)
Other quick meals: stir-fry -- if you roast something (chicken, pork, beef), roast one big enough to give you some leftover meat for another meal 2 or 3 days later. Stir fry ginger, onions, savoy cabbage, broccoli, slivered carrots, cashew nuts, add the meat to reheat through, flavour with soy sauce and chili sauce. I don't serve rice with it -- there's sufficient volume of vegetable. If no meat, I use beech-smoked tofu and more cashews or almonds.
I need inspiration 561So far many have offered quickies that have no fiber or vegetables and Jamie Whatsis would just die. Beans on Toast? Eggs and Chips? Bah! Here is the real amatriciana translated. 400 g di...
Pasta with a quick sauce. Tomato, or spinach with onions, mushrooms and cottage cheese. Or try to find the time to make a big batch of bolognese-equivalent sauce and freeze into servings for almost instant meals when you've less time.
Make a *big* pot of beef stew using shin or some other cheap cut. Serve one, er, serving, then freeze the rest in meal-size portions for later use. Stew is really fast to make.
'Salisbury' steak. Make thick patties of good, *lean* minced beef. Fry i one pan with some sliced onions and mushrooms (make gravy with a stock cube and some cornflour if you like). Serve on mashed potatoes with vegetables.
