    looking for some healthy (is) & cheap(ish) dinner ideas please that arent too time consuming as out the house for work from 8am-6.30pm

    Without knowing the sorts of things you like to eat or your kitchen experience it’s a bit hard to recommend anything.

    I often batch cook and freeze for the times I find myself in the position you mention.
