Stir fry ginger, spring onion (and soy sauce?) and shredded carrot with salmon and noodles

Frittata with the eggs, soft cream and frozen peas (in places of sweetcorn) like this recipe www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/quick-veg-soft-cheese-frittata You could add the tin of potatoes to bulk it out.

Curry using up chickpeas, coconut milk, tomatoes and rice. Soak your dried chickpeas for 6-8 hours (I leave mine overnight) to replace a tin of chickpeas. www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tomato-chickpea-curry

@Ricekrispie22 has said pretty much everything I was thinking.

Maybe a tray bake with your chicken, tomatoes, onions and butterbeans, tinned potatoes with the pesto thing.

Pineapple, orange and carrot juice realfood.tesco.com/recipes/pineapple-carrot-and-orange-juice.html you could put some ginger in it like Tropicana does! www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/302838244

Chicken fried rice with the eggs. Use peas in place of the sweetcorn and use both chicken breasts as it’s for 5 of you and not 4. www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chicken-sweetcorn-egg-fried-rice
