Chilli Chunky Veg is nice- what ever veg you like (use seasonal to make it cheap) cooked with passata (29p a carton in Aldi) and tsp of chilli. Serve with pasta or rice or couscous.

Thank you all for the great suggestions

meatloaf: chop an onion and mix it in with some minced beef, salt and pepper and a beaten egg or some tomato ketchup to bind. Squidge it into a loaf tin, or shape it into a log and put it on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes alongside a baked potato.

Meatballs: buy some preformed raw meatballs and put in a saucepan with a chopped onion, some herbs and a tin of tomatoes. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve with pasta.

Spaghetti carabonara - fry some bacon and onion, add a couple of beaten eggs and some cheese and toss in hot cooked pasta.

Pasta al salmone - heat up some cream and smoked salmon trimmings and add hot cooked pasta

Salmon en croute - chop up a salmon fillet, mix with a small tub of creme fraiche, season well. Spread half a sheet of readymade puff pastry with the mix and fold the other half over. Brush the top with a beaten egg and bake at 180 for about 25 minutes. If you like you can add a bag of spinach to the salmon mix.

Some great ideas here...I am using 3 of them in this weeks meal plan :T
