Grate and steam a few veggies in the micro (zucchini, pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, whatever you have, really) , crack a few eggs (2-3), bit of salt, half a cup of flour or cornflour, some grated cheese, then fry spoonfuls to make veggie fritters. We *never* have fried food & fritters is the closest we ever get so they're always a winner here. Serve with whatever you have - sour cream, tzatziki, salsa, tomato sauce, leftover sloppy foods like casserole, or - in summer - fried tomatoes. YUM
We also do a pilaf rice...which is essentially basmati rice fried then cooked in stock, and whatever spices and other goodies you want to throw in there. Chuck a can of tuna in with it and it's a large vat of food that will do for a night or two.
i make vegie fritters-saute off some onion with whatever vegies you have, cool, then mix with a little flour, milk and some grated cheese (or ricotta/fetta)-panfry till brown on both sides.
Soup with homemade scones-cheese scones are easy, or damper.
Mexican soup-a tin of diced tomatoes, tin corn, tin creamed corn, tin kidney beans, 1 diced onion, chilli powder, cumin, garlic
Saute the onion off in a pan, add the spices and garlic, tinned tomatoes, creamed corn, and drained rinsed kidney beans and corn kernels. Add 1-2 cups of water (or chicken stock/vegie stock) and simmer for a few minutes. I eat it with tortillas, or just on its own.
Make shift pan Kugel. Make up two minute noodles as the package says (or ramen or whatever you have - with the naughty flavour sachet!) and then whisk up two to three eggs. Then mix into the noodles and poor into a pan (a small saute pan about 20 cms). Once the bottom is cooked slide onto a plate and flip over (by placing the pan over the uncooked side on the plate and flipping the plate over so the uncooked plate lands on the pan) then cook and slide out onto a plate, cut and serve. Can be had with salad or whatever you have.
Tin of tuna (flavoured) mixed through cooked pasta with a little oil if required.
Cook pasta and in a frypan fry some chopped onion, garlic, add in tin of tomatoes, heat through & add frozen veg, heat through.
2 min noodles, add in frozen veg while cooking. add flavour sachet, drain off. toss through a little butter and grated cheese.
make a pikelet batter, add in leftover corned beef / any veg etc and cook (mum & dad call these racehorses)
chickpea curry - cook wedges of onion in oil until soft. add in curry powder and fry off. add tin of tomatoes & drained chickpeas. serve with rice.
potato curry - brown wedges of onion / cubes of potato in little oil. add in curry powder and fry off. add tin of tomatoes and stock. simmer until potato tender. serve with rice or bread.
Tonight I made fettucine with some fried bacon, garlic, mushrooms and cream. Its very filling and cheap to make too.
I also make a salmon quiche type thing with a tin of salmon, finely chopped onion or shallots, eggs, milk and salt then put it into a pie dish and cook in the oven.
Pasta (any type) with canned tuna (in oil), lemon, garlic, rocket, chilli and maybe some fresh/sundried tomato. YUM YUM YUM (also works with basil if there is no rocket. Great if you grow all ingredients in your garden - which I don't.....but I will soon!!
