Quick simple Recipe Ideas

[fireflies4]

I am wanting to put together a meal plan and want to use relatively easy recipes that either myself or partner can prepare and cook.

We've become really slack lately, and I am so tired and nausea when I get home from work I just dont feel like cooking so we end up with something thrown together, takeaway or toasties.

So help me come up with something.

Share your simple recipes and budget recipe ideas to.

TIA

Simple pasta dishes. The Ragalleto sauces are cheap and taste nice. Just throw in some mince or tuna with them, simmer for a bit and serve with pasta. You can even use them for a pasta bake.

Keep a pack of stir-fry style veges in the freezer. Add some meat, noodles, garlic, ginger, soy and oyster sauce and you've got a nice easy stir-fry.

Things like the chicken tonights are quick and easy and not too costly. Its just a matter of if you like them.

I'll come back if I think of more.

lamb or pork chops marinated with fruit chutney - Its delicious and Easy!

Jsut marinate the chops the night before - or even just before if you are running short of tme. Pop them in the oven make sure they are all coated in the fruit chutney (i use the home brand chutney and its by far the nicest then the more expensive brand imo). I serve with mash and green beans :)
