It really is that simple - I make a pizza dough in the machine, roll it out to fit the largest baking sheet I have, smear on a layer of mince and sauce and roll into a loaf shape....brush the top with milk or egg to give it a glaze and pop in the oven for about 20 mins.......lovely sliced hot with wedges, or cold in lunch boxes the next day.

Bolognese I cheat - I make a batch cook of it, then make into spag bol, lasagne, canneloni, burritos (spice up) chill con carne (add chilli and kidney beans etc) and bolognese pizzas. Can of course make more with it. Means you can do the save time cooking but make loads of different things.

Stews like beef etc can make extra of and make as a pie, pasties etc etc aswell.

One recipe i do is to put bolognese in the bottom of a dish, add a layer of sliced boiled spuds, then pour over cheese sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese and cook in oven, hubby loves it. I usually cook a big batch of bol. and cheese sauce and have a cooking morning, i did this the other day and made ratatouille too and made: basc bolognese, above recipe, meat lasagne and shepherds pie. Macaroni cheese, pus with the veg ratatouille, veg sheps pie and veg lasagne. Then i freeze it all for when i need it.

Vegetable ratatouille is v tasty and nice on jacket spuds, or i scoop out the flesh, cook the skins until crispy and put the ratatouille inside. It goes nice with any pasta or rice as well.

Also a cheap meal is cook baked beans and do mashed spuds. Put beans in bottom of dish, add grated cheese to mash and put on top of beans, plus xtra grated cheese on top and grill until brown v. tasty and you could have fishfingers or bacon or sausage with it.

Or lots of root veg and mixed pulses and tomato puree and herbs with dumplings to make a lovely cheap stew.

might i point out the obvious here... the weather is getting rather blooming warm. you aint going to be wanting stews etc for much longer. you might want to work some flexability into your plans for the days when you cant face anything more than a salad.

oh and frozen bananas (peel, wrap in cling film and bung in the freezer) will make a fab treat for ashli in the hot weather. takes on the consistancy of a mini milk, but being fruit its really healthy.

also, cheapo yoghurts poured into lolly moulds and frozen will achieve a similar result. kaitlyn might be a bit young to appreciate them this year mind

we do loads of lollys in summer, buy all the reduced berries, bannas etc and make 'smoothie' lollys, fruit, pureed usually with some pure pineapple juice.
kids think there getting a real treat but its also really healthy!
also in good weather you cant beat a bbq, veggie kebabs, hm burgers, turkey sausages etc.
also salads can be yummy
