    Putting together a nutritious meal after a long day at work is not something I look forward to. There are the added pressures of getting the food on the table quickly and serving something they will like. ‘They’ are two kids under 6 who seem to burn through food very, very rapidly and yet perk up once fed! 

    Below are some suggestions for quick, easy and in budget meals. Most of us have the staples in our fridge and cupboards to put these together.

    • Tuna melts (canned tuna, mayo, mustard on bread with cheese on top – toasted) and canned soup (make with milk).
    • Pesto pasta (chop up and saute vegetables, add to cooked tortellini, add a small amount of milk or whipping cream and some pesto from a jar) and salad.
    • Chicken stew (chicken breast or thighs in a slow cooker with lots of root vegetables, mushrooms, a can of diced tomatoes and broth) and biscuits or rolls.
    • Bean burritos (chop up and saute vegetables, add black beans and serve in a quesadilla with cheese and salsa).
    • Omelette (as many eggs as diners, beaten with a little milk, prep the pan with a little butter and add sliced ham, vegetables, cheese or whatever you like) with toast.

    Bon appetit!
