Other
need some ideas on quick healthy meals?
not because i cant be bothered but im always so busy!
with teaching 4 kids, 1 i have to entertain, keep up with the house work and looking after 4 dogs...
hit me with inspo lol

Have you got a slow cooker as you can do it in the night before and put it on low or get everything prepped to dump it in Maslow cooker in the morning.
If so there are so many different healthy dishes you can do!
Like chicken and vegetable casserole, veggie chillie (you can make it as spicy or mild as you like) chicken with bbq sauce with added veggies.

i do! however i need to invest in a bigger one as mine feeds about 4/5 people and i have a house of 7 lol.

HollyDolly22 lol snap Iโve got a family of 7. I normally have two slow cookers on the go

hrdaniels1980 omg i didnt even think of that! i may just purchase another one! thanks for the idea!

Pasta bake is definitely a go to for me! Very quick and easy and there are different sauces you can use to mix it up a bit!

i love a good pasta bake! i usually add chicken in there as well as its feeding 5 kids 2 adults so bulks it a bit more

HollyDolly22 You could add other things to bulk it up too, I somethings chop mushrooms and put them in to add something to it

lornaae ooo i didnt think of mushrooms. usually kids dont notice if i chop them up good either!

Have you got a chopper for veg!? Thatโs a god send. And if youโve Aldi near you they have electric for sale At ยฃ10 and a manual one. But helps get all the goodness in hidden in mince and other meals etc.

ooo il have to look in to this! i always buy fresh so would come in handy as i hate chopping them

Anything you can fire in the slow cooker. I love mine and use it soooo much. The bonus is throughout the day you can smell it

i always do stews in it but i get so bored of it but ive had some amazing ideas im definitely trying!!

I don't know how healthy it is but I can't wait to make this, shown on This Morning, today.

I love a sweet curry and she said it only takes 20 minutes and it can be frozen, so make a big pot!

ooo thank you i love sweet curry to and to my surprise my kids do to! hot stuff just leaves me with heart burn all night lol

Yes I saw that and have saved the recipe, it was by Nisha and looked absolutely delicious.

Lynibis definitely need an update as i was thinking of making this next thursday!!!

Stir fry! Any meat you like, any veg you like. Throw in some noodles & sauce. I prefer just using soya or sweet chilli but many options available. It's quick, easy, healthy & tasty.

i love the noddle idea!! i never really thought of that oddly! i love a good bowl of noddles meat and veg !! thank you

I got so excited to tell you about the curry I didn't think to mention the quickest, easiest meal I do. If you have a steamer put loads of new potatoes in bottom pan, loads of veg in middle pan and salmon in the top pan. When serving I am naughty and put loads of butter and grated cheese on my spuds!
If you need more food you can, while that lot is steaming, grill some tomatoes and mushrooms and corn on the cob or even just put in a pan and roast so you don't have to watch too closely.
It is a healthy but tasty meal.

i dont have a steamer. i always wanted one but wondered if they were worth the money? do you rate them ?

HollyDolly22 definitely. Indispensable for cooking fish which I do at least once a week. The rest of the week I do veg. The longer to cook veg like carrots/brussels go in the water in bottom pan and I put peas/sweetcorn/fine beans etc in the two steamers above.
I am not fussed to have a fancy electric one, just on the hob and they are not expensive. Food keeps it's goodness cooked this way.
Ps I even stab a tomato and steam with the veg.
This one is Argos, even cheaper on amazon. Ridiculously long link!

I'm not going to post my idea of a quick meal , I just get into trouble with the ingriedients
