The most simplist meal that we have here is I make a nice salad and a quick jacket potato and DH throw the meat on the bbq. I know it's not fancy or anything but everytime we resort to this, both DH & I love it.
I often stuff chick breast or thighs with something like fetta, sundried tomato and wrap them in filo pastry serve with veges.
salmon patties made with leftover mash/tin salmon/onion and an egg?
We often have grilled fish and salad when I'm pushed for time.
Chicken cacciatore made with a BBQ chicken.
Home made hamburgers
500g mince
1 egg
breadcrumbs
onion
garlic
parsley
woster sauce.
Mix all together, roll into patties and cook.
DH and i have these in buns with lettuce etc
MJ has her hamburger on a plate with some veggie mash that i pre make and freeze in batches with some salad veggies to try
We are having this tonight!
the other quick one (was also going to mention BBQ chook or quiche - which i make in advance usually) is soup and Ravioli.
the cheats way which i do when i am working is to buy a tin of Thai pumkin soup, some sour cream and a packet of fresh ravioli.
Heat soup and cook psata seperatly.
once cooked add together and serve and pop a bit of sour cream on the top. can have a side salad if you like or some toast.
If i have more time or in the winter i make and freeze batches of Pumpkin soup then add cocnut milk and spice to the soup at the time of cooking.
This is one of MJ's fav's
Maybe try that 4 ingredient cookbook, very simple meals in there.
We eat alot of just meat and 3 veg I know not very exciting but I usually try make the meat nice with a sauce, like apricot chicken, steak with mushroom sauce...
Also anything oven based is really easy altho take longer to cook preperation is fast. We often throw something in oven, bath the kids then eat.
