I am the worlds least domesticated person, ever.
My dp once made a comment about wanting 'proper' dinners. Now my idea of a proper dinner would be to have your chips the same time as your fish fingers. I don't think this is wht he meant
I do things like, spag bol, cottage pie, chicken fahita(sp?), but the rest is frozen pies, or fish, or something similar. I also feel like \i should be making more of an effort to do home cooked food for ds1. He is 21 months and although has quite a balanced diet, he does eat fish fingers and chicken nuggets a bit too often.

So anyone have meal ideas? Recipes? Advice?
Come on ladies, direct me, teach me, advice me, encourage me!

You're a veggie superbunny - really ?? no kidding ?? !! Having said that I'm VERY impressed by your variety - you obviously eat well in your house

littleboyblue - I won't give you another list but i would say that I am a great fan of the casserole - lots of different types and can be bunged together quickly and left to get on with it whilst you do something more important. Sometimes I put portions into individual dishes and plop a bit of ready made pastry on top to make a "home-made" pie. Serve with pots, rice, couscous, crusty bread, pasta, veg, whatever, the possibilities are endless. Have you been on the recipes section - loads of fab ideas there. Cheaper to do home made as well as healthier - go cook girl
