Scrambled eggs/beans on toast
Baked potato
Soup and roll.

I'm trying hard to cut my shopping costs but neither me or the DC like the cheaper options if some things. I'd eat them, but they won't abd then it's waste. (Such as sausages, or breaded chicken) They dont like pasta bake from a jar.

I just feel like something on toast/potato/soup aren't really options. Or are more like lunch options again, happy to eat them myself but want the dc to have proper food abd a good variety. I think I'm probably making life hard for myself

Well I started when I was weaning DD (which probably doesn’t make it sound all that appealing haha) with this kind of approach -

But I definitely free style it a bit more now, always add a grated apple as well as the carrots, sometimes courgette usually in summer if we have some to use up (it cooks away to nothing so you don’t really taste it or anything), add in the nut butter and I like mixed spice or allspice rather than just cinammon. A little bit of vanilla extract is nice too. Basically I do whatever is to hand! Just add more oats/ milk depending on preferred consistency. It’s nice with a bit of honey or syrup if you’re feeling indulgent.

I do something similarly freehand that I call apple strudel porridge.

Grate in an apple
A handful of sultanas
Some brown sugar and cinnamon
