Otherwise, one of my fave easy meals (and healthy too) are pizzas. Wholemeal pita/lebanese bread, put it under the grill for a few minutes to crisp up, take it out rub a clove of garlic over (gives it a yummy flavour). Turn it over and top with whatever you feel like - cherry tomatoes, fetta cheese, capsicum, eggplant, pinapple, ham...anything goes really then chuck it back under the grill for a few minutes to melt the cheese, soften the tomatoes...easy and quick!
Wraps for lunch are good and are a great way to use up leftovers in the fridge. Use mountain bread or pita bread, and again anything goes. I like turkey breast, swiss cheese, cranberry sauce and alfafa or you could try ricotta cheese, grated carrot, snow pea sprouts and corn relish or use leftover chicken or beef and add salads like tomato, cucumber, spinach leaves...possibilities are endless.
Soup is really cheap and easy. You can cook up a big batch and then freeze in individual portions and pull it out of the freezer on the CBF days.
To save a bit of money, cut down on your meat meals. Replace with tinned lentils or cannellini beans.
Plan your weekly meals and shopping lists and try to cook meals and lunches that use the same ingredients so you don't have to buy as much food and you get to use it all up before it goes off.
thanks ladies.. I forgot to mention that I can't eat sausages (they just don't agree with me) and I've been told to try and not put on any more weight this pregnancy... almost impossible but worth a shot...
a meal plan is what's on the cards and lots of mince I believe...
