I'm full of quick meal ideas!

Going along with the pizza thing, you can take kaiser rolls (or your favorite rolls) split them open and scoop out the insides. Then fill with ricotta (or cottage cheese if you prefer), and other favorite pizza toppings. Put the "lid" on and stick under the broiler to get all warm and toasty. This makes a quick little calzone.

For a slightly heartier meal, slice up a sweet onion, some mushrooms, and pork, chicken or beef (or all if you want!). Put into a zip-top bag and let marinate in your favorite salad dressing; I like this one: Newman's Own - Products because it has a slight Asian-style taste to it, but I don't know if you can get it in the UK. Anyway, let your stuff marinate for a bit, then cook it on the stovetop until the onions are all soft and translucent and the meat is cooked through. Serve over rice or noodles.

"Fake" Chicken Parmesan; Take your favorite jar sauce and put a little on the bottom of a baking pan. Add chicken breasts and top with parmesan cheese and more sauce. Bake until done. Serve over buttered noodles.

Cut chicken into chunks, put into glass baking dish and coat with some olive oil. Sprinkle with Montreal Grill Seasoning McCormick Product Detail - Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning chopped garlic and rosemary (or thyme, whatever fresh herbs you have). Add zest from one lemon. Bake until chicken is done, then turn the oven off and add a splash of white wine (or chicken broth) and the juice from the lemon. Put back in the oven for about 5 mins. Serve with your favorite side.

I don't do many lunches, if that's what you're looking for, but all the meals I mention are really easy and pretty kid-friendly. I don't cook many things that take more than 30 mins or so to prepare, so I'm a big fan of Rachael Ray's 30 min meals. Here's a link to her books; there's a lot of great recipes in there! I have "Cooking 'Round the Clock" and use it all the time.

Amazon.com: rachael ray: Books

Also, there's a free magazine Kraft Foods puts out quarterly; you might not be able to get it in the UK, but here's a link to the archives:

food&family Archive

All the stuff in the magazines is really simple to make, and it gives you some of the nutritional information. It's all really adaptable stuff too, so you can take out or add things you like and don't like to make the recipe suit your tastes more. All the recipes say to use "Kraft" whatever, but of course, that's not really necessary in most cases!

Roll out flat one-fourth-size pieces of refrigerator rolls, lay them on a cookie sheet (greased, if the wrapper says to do that), add pizza sauce, whatever toppings you want, grated mozzarella cheese, and bake as per directions for rolls.

This is a terrific Cub Scout activity, snack, and crowd pleaser.

Refrigerator rolls are in the refrigerator section of the grocery store and are made by Pillsbury or other bread companies and are in a cylindrical can about the side of an empty toilet paper roll and you pop them open and lay the rolls on a baking sheet to bake them.

You're welcome!

Here's a link to one of my favorite recipe sites - All recipes – complete resource for recipes and cooking tips

You can change the number of servings and it will change the recipe for you, and it can convert to metric units as well. I've found just about everything on that site - and lots of new stuff to try. You can even make an account and save recipes in a "recipe box" so you don't have to go searching.

Happy cooking!
