“Can I please have some ideas for quick family dinners, as I often struggle for meal ideas that are quick and easy?” Karen, Fairfield It is important when making quick family dinners to also ensure they are healthy! Here are a few ideas: - Grilled chicken or fish (with fresh lemon and herbs) served with a mixed salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, avocado - Grilled chicken or fish with cous cous or rice and boiled vegetables or mashed potato - Stir Fry - (use a spray or some water instead of oil) Chicken Stir fry with green vegetables such as bok choy, zucchini, broccoli and celery, carrots, onion with noodles and oyster sauce - Frozen dinners – pre-make meals then freeze them such as cook spaghetti sauce and freeze it or a pot of soup with vegetables on the weekend and pull it out to defrost for a quick family dinner during the week. - Pizza – buy a pizza base and add your own toppings such as ham, low fat cheese, tomato, spinach - Steamed fish with mashed potato and salad - Omelets with ham, cheese and tomato and salad - Tacos with mince or beans filled with lettuce, avocado, corn, tomato - Grilled chicken with spaghetti - Smoked Salmon and egg salad with crispy herb bread Happy Cooking!

Generally I just cheat when I make dinner (soup and sandwiches). If I’m feeling a little crazy I’ll turn on the oven and make some meatball subs (http://www.mybaby.com/Journal/dustbunny/Item/5645/5_EASY_DINNER_SANDWICHES__you_can_slap_together.htm).
I’m going to try the smoked salmon tonight!
