Lunch is always sandwich, salad and fruit. It is tasty and healthy and I never get bored with it! Evening meals we batch cook a lot of tomato based spicy pasta and curry and fill the freezer. They're all cooked from scratch to our taste and very healthy and filling.

A great variety of dishes from fish pie to stuffed baked potatoes to Chinese stir fries to curries to homemade stews and soups to Japanese futomaki to vegetarian lasagne. We travel the world!

We love salmon with tomato and cheese risotto, the salmon in Lidl is frozen in portions so easy to cook and the risotto is done in the microwave. 250g of arborio rice with one chopped onion, nuke for 6 mins, add stock and a carton of passata, nuke for another 6 mins, then add 1 box of cherry tomatoes all chopped up, nuke for another 6-10 mins and then add some cheese.

Pasta is a big staple meal in our house! Spag bol, pesto, or just with cheese. It's quick and easy to make and filling too. Other staples are sausages and mash; roast chicken, fajitas, and pizzas :)

krnries · 27/01/2018 14:40

We don't have many staples because the kids like different things, but we do have fajitas and spag bol fairly often xx

spaghetti bolognaise is our main staple. i cook a huge batch of sauce then freeze in portion sizes - great for when we're in a hurry or one of us doesn;t like whatever else it being cooked for dinner. Sauce can also be used with mash as a cottage pie or over a baked potato

Home made soup is a great favourite in our house. Seasonal vegetables which are on offer make tasty nutritious filling meals served with fresh crusty bread.
