Pasta salad.... chopped bacon and mushrooms cooked, added to cooked pasta, tomatoes, onion, mayo and paprika. So so good. Eaten with a green salad.

Lasagne, shepherds pie, casserole, roast dinner, pasta ragu. All made from scratch.

As many Home cooked meals as possible - slow cooks, sausage and mash, meatballs and spaghetti, cottage pie, stir fries. We do like to keep things varies but also simple after a long day at work!

Jacket potatoes and beans , veggie burgers and mash , vegan spag bol

Chilli, omelettes and pasta bakes are three meals that are staples in my house!

Our go-to meals are chicken roast as everyone in the family likes it (we have Yorkshire puddings with it too!) and I make a quick and easy chilli but with Roast Sweet Potato instead of mince. It's really versatile and can be served with baked potatoes, rice or tacos etc.

Various pastas in our house. DD loves macaroni cheese, DS will go for ravioli, so both of these are always in the freezer on standby.

I've try to cook from scratch as often as possible like my mum always did for us. The kids are pretty good when it comes to dinner. They love risotto, i do it with honey roasted vegetables and chicken marinated in white wine, garlic, olive oil, thyme and peppercorns. But they also love homemade burgers and chips.

Spag bol and lasagne are staples in this house

We are big pasta eaters and find it so quick and easy to cook especially having been at work and kids having after school activities, so perfect for adding veg, cold meat to or a tomato sauce with some garlic bread.

Sausage pasta! A tomato sauce made with passata, garlic, chilli flakes and whatever else we fancy throwing in and chopped sausages with a bit of grated cheese on top. My son's favourite!

Chicken and pasta for us

My children are fussy eaters but a roast chicken dinner always goes down well, as does a curry.

carbonara, and bolognaise. Easy to cook, and easy to sneak extra veg in as well

Good old fashioned meals like shephards pie, lasagne, roas dinners

Currys, Macaroni Cheese, Stews all homemade 'batch' cooked for the week

Spaghetti and Turkey meatballs and sausage casserole are our faves - love packing that one with veg

Jacket potatoes either white or sweet potatoes. Scoop out middle mash in your favourite ingredients like sweet corn or bacon or cheese/ham nice dollop of salad cream

that would be mashed potato we have it with everything and the special favourite is bangers, mash and beans.

Jacket potatoes with a variety of toppings, Cheese and beans one day, chilli another or prawns and mayo another, with a side salad.

Our favourite dinner is fajitas (chicken and vegetable) easy to make and prepare taste amazing.
