You could make up a tub of cows cows salad on a Sunday, which would do for several meals. Add fresh veggie or feta, olives etc.

Spanish omelette - make a big one and it should last a couple of days.

Soup?

Lentil daal with wholemeal pitta

Wholemeal pittas are lovely filled with anything you fancy: some salad with chicken/ham/cheese/smoked salmon.

I know they aren't cooked but they are very easy, if you run out of freezer meals.

This couscous salad is fab, keeps well and, especially if you add a tin of chickpeas and some crushed toasted cashews to it, very nutritious.

Like cows, raisins have no place in a salad.
