    Generally my quick and easy fail proof breaky is 2 weetbix with a banana and milk. On days I am organised it's 1/3cup oats, soaked over night (in the fridge) with 1/3 cup jalna vanilla yogurt, 1/3 cup almond milk, then in the morning I add frozen berries or a banana or some plain almonds and sultanas. Or a green smoothie with a frozen banana, almond milk, protein powder, a handful of baby spinach and ground LSA.

    Lunch is my worse time of day and I get pretty lazy, often just having bits and pieces of what ever is in the fridge/cupboard, or what the kids don't eat.
    When I am being aware of what I eat, I have a ham salad sandwich, toasties (with baked beans or ham/cheese tomato or tuna cheese and corn), home made soups, baked potato and sweet potato with baked beans and cheese.

    Dinner is almost always a cooked meal. Tonight it's spaghetti bolgenaise, last night a beef and veg stir fry, night before a baked chicken dinner....

    Snacks are generally- a handful of nuts, yogurt, fruit, veggie sticks with hummus, crackers with cheese.

    And I drink lots of water. Up to 2 cups of green tea. 1 cup of tea and 1 cup of coffee. (Though I don't always have the tea and coffee.)

    For breakfast I have muesli and yoghurt, I just eat a few spoons full of yoghurt out of the container and fill it up with muesli so there are no dishes lol. Lunch is usually a sandwich or salada, vitawheat, depending on what's in the cupboard with ham cheese and tomato. Sometimes I toast it. Sometimes, I cook scrambled eggs, just depends on whether I can be bothered cleaning dishes. Tea is usually vegies or salad and meat, not very gourmet but it's quick and easy and everyone eats it.

    I'm a sweet tooth so I snack on fruit when I have sugar cravings. ATM I'm addicted to Nestle Soliel Chocolate Mousse. OMG! I think I ate 3 throughout the day on Thursday

    My go to quick lunch is equal parts cooked couscous and chopped baby spinach leaves, some crumbled feta and lime juice squeezed in to taste.

    Another is cooled pasta, pesto, capsicum, sundried tomato and parmesan.

    Both can be adapted in a bunch of ways and are very quick. They can also be made in advance and are popular with my kids, similar ages.

    In cooler months we make big pots of soup on the weekend to be reheated during the week.
