Great suggestions, thankyou! I should have added that my husband will not eat anything from a microwave or a tin so re-heated meals or spaghetti/baked beans are out *sigh*

You have given me some good ideas though...

CheezelMonster - any chance you might like to share your recipe?

We quiet often have steamed vegies, rice and a meat but I am sooooo over rump steak! I am not a big meat eater.

I think I may need to utilise my slow cooker more, at least the prep time is quick and easy, I don't mind that it takes ages to cook, the prep time is the key for me.

Ohhh and omlettes, quiches etc are a great idea as we have so many eggs now our chooks are steadily laying

ETA: Pixie that Lemon and Basil chicken sounds divine!
