You cant go wrong with spaghetti! Make up a huge pot with some bolognase sauce, its quick and easy, and you can freeze leftovers for another day when you dont have as much time!
A favourite in our house is Chicken Parmiagana!. Buy schnitzels at your butchers, cook them up and top with a good chunky tomato-based sauce, some ham (optional), and some shredded cheese!. Melt down the cheese, and serve the parma with some oven baked chips and salad - takes about half an hour, is filling, and yummy!
Stir-frys are also great, we have a lot of black bean and sweet & sour!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Open the fridge door and study the contents, look at each item and decide, will it keep going for another week or has its time come today!. Gather all the slightly suspect items and heave them into a large saucepan remembering to discard all paper and plastic wrappings etc!. Allow to stew for an hour and add a dessert spoonful of oyster sauce, half a jar of pesto, and a generous handful of chopped chillies!. Eat and enjoy but a word of warning, DO NOT USE a plastic spoon as it will melt!. If the children groan about the taste, squirt a goodly amount of tomato sauce over the resultant mess of slop and they will gobble it up with relish!. (I slipped a pun in there)Www@FoodAQ@Com
