5 minute meals

Stir fry is by far the quickest, at 5 mins top normally.

Otherwise, chopping up whatever veg I have and a can of tomatoes for a quick ratatouille type dish.

When I cba to cook it has to be a quick and no fuss, these are my favourites:

Crumpets and butter
Bacon sarni, bacon in small frying pan with spray low cal oil
Fried egg sarni.
Beans on toast
Cheese on toast
Beans on cheese on toast

or you can add some curry powder or chilli powder to the beans if desired.

Super quick white sauce is 1 heaped tsp of cornflour mixed with a small amount of milk until smooth, then topped up with more milk - chuck in the microwave for up to 2 mins for white sauce.... add cheese for cheese sauce.

for pasta...

use half tub creme fraiche (half fat or full fat) and a handful of parmesan.... stir in some tomato puree for a change x

I've recently come across this rice (veetee) which takes 2 mins to microwave or fry up. Super easy and much nicer than other similar ones I've tried. They do a few flavours and you can pretty much throw anything in with it! Yum yum.

Omelette - the quickest and nicest fast food I know of.

Any sort of sandwich or toast + is a 5 minute meal but how about frying pan pizza.
2 x soft tortillas. Spread with ketchup, red pasta sauce from a jar, pasata (my fave with some pesto) left over salsa or puree. Add grated cheese and cooked meat. Those mushrooms in a jar are nice as are anchovies. Put the 2nd bread on top. Fry both sides. Careful as the cheese goes radioactive.

This tastes like Heinz Tomato soup - seems unbelieveable but works! Makes loads.

2 tins tomatoes
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of carrots
5 pickled onions

Put everything into a liquidiser and blitz well. Heat in microwave for a few minutes.

Serve with bread.
