Cooking And Everyday Meals

[fruitsalad]

I am not a fan of cooking, and get fed up of doing family meals everyday, I like spicy foods and garlic etc OH cannot stand it, which makes things more difficult, has anyone any ideas for quick easy meals for during the week please.

Vegetable stir fries.. All you need are some carrots, peppers, onions, courgette, beans in fact any veg. Make your own sauce.. Garlic, ginger, chilli, sesame oil, lime juice. Honey to thicken it. Any combination will
be far better than packet sauce. We live on stir fries.. and no two are ever the same. On a rare occasion we even add slivers of beef or pork.

My favourite tasty and quick meal is pie, chips and gravy. I buy meat and potato pies, chunky oven chips and cover in ready made gravy (beef flavour). Quick and absolutely delicious.

slow cooker - not quick but not much effort and you can make it last 2/3 days

Spaghetti Bolognese, shepherd's pie, you can make individual ones allowing you to make your pie spicier.
Spicy baked chicken, lightly coat his portion and go all out for yours.

Does he like prawns or scallops?

If so make a paste of finely chopped red peppers, tomatoes and onion - sweat off for fifteen minutes on a low-medium heat. Cook the pasta of choice to instruction (fresh 3-4 mins), sear the prawns/scallops (2 minutes) and assemble, total time from goodies on the board to the pate 20 mins tops - and delish . Split the paste in two if you like chilli and garlic - before the sweat-down!
