Omelette
Egg fried rice

There's a lot of meals which take next to nothing prep time but a little longer in the oven so you can be doing jobs - eg pork steaks / sausages / chicken breast and bacon with cubed roasted potatoes / roast veggies bit of gravy if you can be bothered

Stir frys
Jar/packet based curries
Different pastas, we have a range of tomato based one, to creamy ones to meatballs
Fish and chips, oven chips with fish just in flour, not battered/breaded and a salad or peas for anyone looking at a salad like it‘s murdering you soon.
fajitas, we do it with mince, chicken, halloumi

Couscous, toasted a little before the boiling water. Or fry some onions and then add the couscous. Good with halloumi and spinach. Fancy it up by cooking finely chopped carrots, celery, courgettes, with the onions, add mushrooms to the halloumi, etc etc

Pan fried or grilled salmon fillets (rub with some 5 spice powder first), noodles or microwave rice, some veg. I can do this meal in 12 minutes.
