moonstar04 · 15/05/2007 09:02
Need some idea of what to cook for mindees whilst inspector here. Want something simple but has to be healthy and easy to do and will be flustered enough to say the least. Any ideas????

I think you have been given some good ideas but I really think you should cook something that you would normally give them (I'm sure you could just choose the healthiest thing from your normal repertoire) otherwise you run the risk of the mindees saying but Moonstar tonight is normally Turkey Twizzlers and curly fries night

you are so right chopchopsobusybusy, I know Ofsted are coming next week so wanted to run some trails for the rest of the week to see what may go down well.
What really goes down well is fish fingers and smily faces and peas but dont want to be messing around with too many pots and pans.
Like the idea of chiken nuggets witht he salad things already washed and waiting to serve just a one pan job.

Hi
What about tuna pasta bake, I use about 150g pasta, 1 small can evap milk, 1 egg,1 onion cheese, pepper, tin of sweetcorn (drained).
Bung the pasta onto cook, add the finely chopped onion, whilst cooking bung the other ingredients into a microwavable bowl, add as much cheese as you like, mine like it cheesy!
When cooked drain pasta and onion and add to bowl, swift mix and pop in the micro for 2 lots of 3 mins stirring in between.
Its delish, we just had it for dinner.
Can't go wrong with fromage frais for after and some fruit or raisins.
Hope it goes well

The rice is very easy to do and requires very little stirring or watching.
Boil kettle.
Stick rice and a bit of onion in a pan with some olive oil, coat the rice. Add water and any stock that you want to use. Add whatever veg you have. (I normally use tinned sweetcord and frozen peas or kidney beans for variety). cook until done. You can add in garlic and other veg but for ease i only add in a few veg.
i do this with chicken cooked pieces and tuna - Very healthy and easy to do. For an adult version you could add in a slosh of wine. Very nice.
