Here goes then Lizzer:
Chicken: 200 oven, put chicken breasts in oven dish in a thin layer of olive oil, squeeze over some lemon, throw them in, crush some garlic cloves (if you're not up to anything important the following day!) and then the little bacon pieces (lardons) you can buy. I always keep some in fridge, long shelf life and so useful for quick suppers. 30 mins, give it a stir put in some basil or mixed herbs, 10 more mins. Serve with rice.
Salmon: hottest oven, put salmon at one end on tray (squeeze over some lemon) and green beans and cherry tomatoes at other, cook for 10 mins, so easy and tasty (its a Jamie!) Put in some black olives if you have any.
Risotto: Very easy and sometimes therapuetic standing, stirring by the cooker, whilst watching a crap soap for 20 mins! Cook chopped onion in butter, add risotto rice, stir for a bit, add glass of white wine til evaporated, then add some stock, and keep adding stock until its yummy and tender usually after 18 mins. At about 13 minutes, I add either defrosted prawns from freezer, left over chicken pieces, mushrooms or sometimes plain fresh parmesan.
Tuna Bake: simple white sauce, add tuna and/or prawns stir in pasta, grate cheese on top and crushed crisps and grill til golden.
I cope with suppers by having the basic things in each week, a lemon, those bacon pieces, tin of olives, frozen prawns and frozen peas, chicken breasts and salmon pieces. Pour in some wine/herbs, and you can really jazz up pasta and rice dishes.
