Meal ideas with no oven? :)

milliemonster

I am ill with flu and feel dreadful, hubby is at work but I need to cook tea for the kids before he gets home as my little boy is going to my friends house tonight to stay, she is picking him up before hubby gets home.

Trouble is I have no oven otherwise I would have just done them pizza or something, still have loads of meat left over from xmas but I feel so ill I can't stand the thought of having to stand at the hob cooking them something, can you do pizza in the microwave? any advice on something quick and easy that I can do for them?

How about cooking up some pasta, you wont have to stand over it and then adding some meat peas and a pasta sauce. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON

Casseroles, soups, bolognaise or chilli con carne are all easily made on the hob. Using vegetables and pulses will keep the costs down.

Lots of recipes on the Old Style Recipe Index here

Hi Everyone,

I'm out in Australia for a year with my OH, the flat we have is lovely but as it is city central, its tiny and thus there is no room for an oven. I'm running out of meal ideas. To be honest, at home i was a really poor chef, having ready meals and frozen pizza etc most of the time. Now we are eating fresh we have lost a lot of weight but are geting sick of the same food.


I'm not a fan of red meat. so i think thats where im struggling!

So far i've done : Egg, Gammon, beans!! lol, chicken (stirfried, with veg, pasta)
Microwaved 'baked' potatoes, Soup, Fajitas, salads, erm..... cant think of any more at the mo, actually i think thats it. It's mainly evening meal that i need help with!!

Thanks in advance!!

Can you get a slow cooker. You can make everything in there. Casseroles, soups, currys, desserts etc.

There is a thread about it if you search for slow cooker recipies.

If the only issue is space look at trying a remoska (see the remoska thread on here) or exchanging the microwave for a combi microwave/oven thingy.

You could make stove top curry or chilli, the thai green curry on the grocery challenge thread recipe index is fab, i make it with cod instead of chicken.
