For a quick meal, we make tacos. Takes 10 minutes or less to chop up the lettuce, tomato and make a guacamole. Then 10-15 minutes to cook the mince. Yumm. And they're fun to eat.

Another quick meal idea is risotto - 20 minutes cooking and you can have any number of additions, like mushrooms or peas.

Fish and salad is a winner in our household ... fresh fish wrapped in foil in the oven with butter, lemon and some herbs - 10-15 mins in oven with fresh salad. yummmm

Not really quick as it takes a all day to cook, but we put meat and vegeies in the electric crock pot in the morning, stir every couple of hours and then serve with rice when dh gets home from work. Easy if you are busy in the afternoon with no time to get things ready ... but you do have to be prepared.

This always goes down well at our house:

In an ovenproof pot saute 1 diced onion in 2tbsp of oil with 3 diced chicken breasts. When the chicken has browned add 2tbsp curry powder and 1tbsp plain flour and cook for a minute to release the flavour. Pour over 1 can cocout cream and 1 cup milk and throw in about 10 baby potatoes halved. Bake in oven for about 30mins or until potatoes are tender. Sometimes I add some broccoli or peas for a bit of green as well. Serve with rice.

This recipe works really well for us as it can be altered to suit everones tast. DH likes his with chili flakes over the top for heat. I add cashew nuts to mine and DD's eat their's plain. Eventually when DS is onto solids i'll be able to whiz a bit up for him as well.:thumbsup:
