    Thanks SA. I do to a degree but some of it is a tad unhealthy.

    I'd go back to basics with pasta, baked potato, omelette etc.  Bulk up with things you have in the cupboard, and use the treats to keep it less boring.

    I can only think of pasta/rice with veg based sauces….a bit of well cooked frozen broccoli mushed like a pesto over spaghetti with a bit of lemon juice and garlic, Jackets potatoes. Corned beef stew is another I fall back on. Good Luck Beanie - you can do it

    Also A Girl called Jack website, but if we know what you have in and where you shop we can help more.   For instance ASDA have lettuce at 30 p.  So as I have tomato in there's going to be more salad than usual at this time of year
