Pork meatballs and spaghetti.
I got this recipe from the current ww magazine, in that recipe it's turkey meatballs but I'm going to use chicken or pork mince to fit in with this plan.
Serves 4
300g spaghetti
Meatballs - 400g pork/ chicken mince
1 small onion chopped v finely
2 crushed garlic cloves
4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Sauce
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 celery sticks finely chopped
1 red pepper finely chopped
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
Roughly torn fresh basil
1- combine the meatball ingredients and season. Shape into 12 balls. Heat a large non stick frying pan and add the meatballs. Fry for 10 mins to brown all over. Remove from pan and set to one side.
2- add oil to the same pan and stur in onion, celery, pepper and garlic. Gently cook for 10 mins until softened and lightly brown. Add tomatoes and 100 ml of water and season well.
3- bring to boil and simmer for 5 mins then add the meatballs. Cook for 15 mins. Cook the pasta and drain. Stir basil into sauce and meatballs and add to the pasta.
After the sauce cooks I remove the meatballs again and blend it a bit so it's texture is a bit smoother but still has some chunks.

Spicy lentil & bean soup
Frozen casserole mix
Baked beans
Lentils
Passata
Beef oxo
Chilli powder to taste
Method
Add all ingredients and add water to cover
Bring to the boil and simmer until veg is soft adding more water as lentils soak it up
When cooked blitz with hand blender adding more water until it's at the consistency you like
Sorry I never measure my ingredients

Turkey & bacon casserole done in slow cooker
Turkey steak
Bacon medallions
Leeks
Carrot
Swede
Butternut squash
Mushrooms
I added sprouts coz I love em
chicken stock
Garlic
Potatoes if wanted ( I didn't and it was still filling)
Method
Cut up all ingredients and add to the slow cooker with the chicken stock (not to much fluid just so it covers at least half of the ingredients)
I put mine on medium for 4 hrs then turned it to low for another 3 hrs but only coz I was in ...probably best put on low for 8 hrs
