Good luck...Kids huh!
Ingredients - small tin of tuna, medium pot of plain cottage cheese and two eggs.
Into a smallish oven proof dish first flake in the tuna (once you have drained the brine/water), pour over the cottage cheese, then beat the two eggs and pour over the top. Bake in a pre-warmed oven, 180c for approx 30 mins. This comes out as a lovely and very tasty souffle. If you have no tuna you can use corned beef.
This recipe is originally from Slimming World or Weight Watchers, can't remember which. It is very simple, but very tasty.........even my husband enjoys this and he is your typical meat, mash and 2 veg man.
Well i'm 14. Mum packs me either..
You know those rolls you put in the oven to part bake. Bakes them, then puts them in my bag with cheese and tomato in.
Wraps, the tortilla ones. I have chicken stripes with rice, peppers, lettuce.. ect.. Mmm love them. then you fold it up and wrap it in foil
hope it helps..xx

Fajitas
1 lb of flank steak or skirt steak
1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced with the grain, not against the grain as one would normally slice an onion. Slice first in half, and then slice off sections a half inch wide at widest point.
2 large bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, de-ribbed, sliced lengthwise into half-inch wide strips
Marinade:
Juice of 1 lime
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 fresh Jalape?o pepper, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped (be careful not to touch your eyes or anywhere near your eyes after handling a Jalape?o pepper!)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, including stems
1 Mix all marinade ingredients. Set the steak in the marinade and let it sit at least an hour, the longer the better.
2 Heat to high heat a large cast iron pan or griddle. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the steak, frying on each side for 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. 3 minutes per side will yield approximately medium rare doneness for an average cut of flank steak. If pan starts to smoke too much, reduce the heat to medium high. We want the steak browned, not burned. Remove from pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
3 Reduce the pan heat to medium high. Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary. Add the onions, bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, until the onions are slightly translucent.
4 Slice the meat against the grain into thin slices. If you slice the meat at a slanted angle, you will be able to get your slices pretty thin. (I forgot to do this in the photo above!) Flank steak is flavorful but can be a little tough, so thin slices will really help make it easier to eat.
5 Serve immediately with shredded cheese, salsa, shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and warm flour tortillas. (Hint for warming tortillas - put in microwave over a paper towel for 20 seconds on high heat.)
Serves 4.

HAM AND POTATO SOUP
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white or black pepper, or to taste
2 table spoon light butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (low-fat)
DIRECTIONS
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.
yummy..its a hearty soup cos of the potato and the ham and the creaminess of the soup

I'm a nineteen-year-old vegetarian, so hopefully what I eat is suitable!
I love a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean dish called tabouli. It's simple to make and doesn't really require cooking.
Summer Tabouli
1-2 cucumbers
2 (or more) tomatoes
small bunch of green onions
fresh parsley
fresh mint (optional)
lemon juice
olive oil
one cup bulgur wheat (it's a grain, sometimes in the oatmeal aisle)
winter tabouli: use whatever of the above are available and ripe. Dried spices work fine, tomatoes can be omitted.
In a saucepan, mix one cup of bulgur with two cups of water. Put on very low heat, you only want it to absorb the water, not cook.
Chop up veggies and herbs.
Guess what? That's it! Combine vegetables, herbs, and bulgur in a casserole dish or very large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and give a generous splash of lemon juice (I like mine very, very lemony, but you won't be able to taste it without lots of lemon juice). Keep refrigerated and serve cold.
Very filling and very yummy.
