Family friendly meal ideas

[Topsyturvy]

Hi there,

We are on a tight budget at the minute and whereas in the past when I have been dieting, I have often made myself separate meals to the rest of the family, this time I would like us all to eat the same.

Does anyone have any good family friendly meal ideas/recipes they could share?

Thanks in advance x

what about a meatball pasta bake with lean mince make your own meatballs and your own sauce with tinned tomatoes some herbs and some tomato puree paste, garlic and chilli than mix everything together and add to the browned meatballs. heat the sauce and meatballs on the stove then pop in the oven for 20mins. You should be able to work out the points based on how much mince you use and how many meatballs it makes. weigh out your pasta and point for the whole lot and then work out how much you have.
