a few healthy/reasonably cheap things we've done lately are:

  • smoked salmon risotto
  • mushroom risotto
  • chickpea tagine and couscous
  • teriyaki salmon and noodles
  • paella
  • chicken stufed with garlic and herb soft cheese ans sun dried tomatoes
  • thai green chicken curry (not low fat but sooo delicious)
  • lasagne- not low fat but delicious
  • gammon/baco and cauliflower cheese (er not really low fat either)

spag bol.

Jacket potato with Chilli/cheese/coleslaw/tuna.

Sausage and mash (I only buy the high meat content ones. they work out around £2.00-£250 for 6. But i'm funny about things like that.)

Tuna pasta bake.

Pasta with bacon, onions, garlic, peppers (very little oil needed) and anything laying around in the fridge.

Whole chicken cooked in the slow cooker then have something to serve with it. see above re pasta and peppers etc.

Any meat and veg shoved in the slow cooker to cook all day (i'm a bit of a slow cooker fiend)

Suprise night!! this is one of my kids faves. this is meals that have been frozen because i've bulked cooked and we all get to choose a dish .

shepherds pie.

Egg, chips and beans. (using fry light and poato wedges homemade. sprayed with fry light in oven)

Lamb chunks with fresh mint, low fat youghurt and cucumber in a pitta.

Taco's (lean mince beef, salad, topped with salsa or yoghurt

Ham egg and chips. (again LF chips)

Salmon baked with dill and lemon with New pots and brocolli.

oven baked veg with chicken. Veg galore, peppers, toms, onions, carrots any veg that can roast really, drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper

Tortill a wraps (big bag of chcunks chicken breast from Iceland (£4.00) , wrap and have cucumber and salad leaves and salsa (this is generally homemade salsa although I have bought it in the past and the jar by Old El Paso is very good.)
stir fry.

any baked fish.

pasta with homemade sauce (tin toms and fresh basil).

these are mostly the things we have here at home. I like to keep it quite healthy for the children.

All chips are homemade by cutting the potatoes and cooking in as little oil as poss, ideally fry light.
Minced beef is always lean and drained of fat before making the dish.
all sausages or organic or very good quality I don't tend to buy any that are lower than 85% pork.

The rest AFAIC is low fat.
