-Chicken Tikka masala with rice (I would pad this out by putting peas in as well and possibly roast potatoes chopped up, leaving leftovers for next day
-Cod in parsley sauce with wedges

  • Veg chilli with wedges, using sauce jar, frozen peas, roast chopped potatoes and kidney beans
  • Bacon & pea risotto, using garlic and two slices bacon
  • Pasta with baked beans (seriously is very nice, used to eat all time as a student)
  • Egg fried rice with bit of bacon, peas etc.
  • Omelette with bacon, peas.
