    We do baked beans/tinned spag on toast or ham/cheese/tomato toasties, tinned soups with buttered bread

    But for a quick 'whole' meal:

    Quick omlette, add what ever you like- ham, chopped left over/bbq chicken, corn, mushies, chopped tomato/capsicum, grated cheese, asparagus......the list is endless. Add a garden salad if you want a bigger meal. If you have tuna/ham/cold chicken/bbq chicken, make a salad plate, with beetroot, tinned corn/asparagus, cucumber, lettuce, tomato.....

    Mince Chow Mein
    500gms mince
    1 grated carrot (I often add grated zucchini too)
    beans (I use frozen baby beans)
    about 1-2 cups shredded cabbage
    2 min chicken noodles (I usually use 2 packets)
    curry powder (to your liking, I use 2 tbsp or so)
    I usually also add 1-2 chicken stock cubes
    About 2-3 cups water

    Cook mince, then add carrot, cabbage 1-2 cups of the water and the curry and stock. Cook until veggies soft. Add noodles and flavouring sachets, add water as needed while noodles cook (you want it to be a bit watery/saucy, but not drowned!) and in about 10mins, you have a relatively healthy yummy meal ('cept for the salt!), my kids love it and I cook it about 1/fortnight.
