    Add to turkey mince with seasoning and mix well. Make little meatballs out of the mix and flatten them into a med thickness disc. You can dry fry these in a non-stick pan

    Can you freeze these patties?

    I often buy a whole chicken at the weekends and use it up over the week for various work lunches. Once I've used up the meat, I make stock from the chicken bones, which I can use for broth and soups.
    This soup is delish, low-cal and easy to make after work: Chicken & Mushroom broth

    And of course, omelettes are the business :D

    A thick homemade veggie soup is always a great standby.

    Get a pitta bread and cut a small hole,(about inch and a half) at the top, stick a knife in to separate the inside without making the hole bigger, dice up some ham, onions, tomatoes, sweetcorn, or whatever you like and stick it in the hole. Then add 1 or 2 triangles of cheese (I like low low with ham) and put into the George foreman until hot and crispy, enjoy with some salad leaves. Takes about 10 minutes in total and is filling.Yum!!

    aldi have packs of flavored couscous, lemon and coriander or roasted veg or spicy, they take 5 mins and are great with some grilled chicken or fish. cut the chicken or fish into bite size pieces and squeeze half a lemon over, takes minutes under grill. Serve with salad or steamed brocolli. - easy peasy and my 2 pre-schoolers love it.

    At the moment they have bulgar wheat and something called onzo pasta in these packs too, i have not tried them yet, but i love bulgar wheat. very filling and a good alternative to rice.

    - Turkey bacon pasta. Put a little pasta on to boil. Grill some turkey bacon and slice it up. Make a tomato sauce of tinned tomatoes, garlic, onion and any other veggies lying about, plus lots of herbs and seasonings. Add the turkey bacon to the sauce. Drain the pasta and toss in the sauce. Takes about 15mins total.

    Similar to this but you can use tinned tuna instead of turkey bacon. Nice, easy and cheap.

    Stir fry noodles is easy too, 5 minutes to cook the meat and veg (in sesame oil), then throw in the noodles with some soy, oyster sauce, and herbs and spices etc.

    Chicken breast wrapped in bacon and oven cooked. Simple takes about 30 minutes and lovely.

    My Thai Chicken Noodle Broth takes around 20 mins. I make enough for 4 servings, so I can bring it for lunches.

    Ingredients (4 big servings)
    1.5 litres chicken stock
    4 small chicken breasts (sliced very thinly)
    120g (2 nests) fine noodles (I prefer rice noodles but egg noddles will do)
    Fresh chillis
    2 sticks lemongrass (finely chopped)
    1 inch piece root ginger, grated
    juice of 2 limes
    4 medium shallots finely sliced
    (whatever quantity you like of the following veg - I use loads)
    Baby corn
    Mangetout or french beans
    finely sliced carrot

    Boil up the chicken stock in a big pot. Add in the finely chopped chillis (however hot you like it), ginger, lemongrass, shallots and lime juice. Add the carrots, baby corn and mangetout. Simmer for 2 Mins. Add the noodles (I break them up before) and wait until it come back to the boil before adding the chicken. If it's finely chopped, it'll poach through in a couple of mins, as soon as the noddles are cooked. Throw on some coriander if you like it, done!

    I am sure you mean orzo pasta
    It is a form of pasta, in the shape of a large grain of rice, slightly smaller than a pine nut. It is often served with a ragù, used in soup, or baked in a casserole

    1 jar of sundried tomatoes
    2 tins of butterbeans (or buy them dried and soak and cook them)
    a couple of large chillies - to taste - Tesco do them in varying degrees of heat.
    a couple of cloves of garlic
    Fresh basil


    Drain the sundried tomates and whizz to a paste. Finely chop the garlic and chop the chillies into what ever size you want (I tend to deseed them and chop them into fairly large bits). In a saucepan, put a little olive oil and very gently fry the garlic for a minute, then add in the chillies and sundried tomato paste. (You don't really have to do this bit, but I prefer the chillies and garlic slightly cooked).

    Add the drained butter beans and warm through (I find the beans absorb the flavour better having been heated).

    Allow to cool and shred loads of Basil and stir through.

    Delicious, keeps well in the fridge for a few days, great for work lunches and great for high fibre!
