I have a clingy little baby and am not able to do the type of meals I used to due to only having 1 arm free! If I'm able to put him down it's for 10 minutes each time.
What meals can I do ?!

Also recommend a slow cooker, OP. You can put all the stuff in as soon as your baby has a nap and then it can just sit there. It stays warm until you're ready for it. Sling stews etc on a potato, do Bolognese sauce in it and cook your pasta when you're ready later. Rice cookers are also good for this it cooks and then stays warm for ages (without giving you food poisoning!). You can then just have salad and fish or mix with egg and peas and soy sauce for a special fried rice type dish.
I also really like Rukmnini Iyer's' roasting tin books. She's done about three and everything in them cooks in one tray. Hardly any take more than 5 mins to prep and they feel like a 'proper' meal once you've exhausted all the beans on toast and omelette options!
