Single Mum Meal Ideas

I tend to make myself a garden salad and cook myself a rissole or something similar as the protein portion. I really like the olgas chicken rissoles. I also will buy chicken breast and slice into smaller portions and marinate and freeze in individual portions.

Slow cooker meals are cheap and super easy, bonus is you can cook almost anything in them and the cheapest cuts turn out great. Other than that, lasagna freezes well, I do sausages fried on low heat with stock in the frying pan which is good with mashed potatoes, diced chicken with red curry paste and a tin of coconut cream is a curry in a hurry, poached eggs and baked beans on toast, sometimes I even just cook some plain pasta and heat a jar of pasta sauce on the stove then top with cheese for a meat-free pasta night. Burritos are my fave cheap and easy dinner. Our household is just 3 of us and we each cook separate meals most nights, just means when I cook mine there is leftovers for my lunch at work :)
