Extra Easy Help needed

[misskiki]

So i'm doing alright so far on the diet but I'm running out of ideas for my lunches and dinners :sigh: I've been Using The extra easy cook book and the curry book too and I'm starting to get fed up with the same meals every week. Any Ideas?

What meals are you having? That way we can suggest other stuff?

Not sure what you have been having for lunches and dinners recently, but here are some of the things we've been having:

Lunch
Salad with jacket potato and cooked meat/cottage cheese
Cous cous, soaked in veg stock and with loads of chopped salad veg mixed in, with a leafy salad for extra superfree!
SW Quiches and salad
Pasta with tuna and chopped salad veg

Have to admit, I tend to have salad most days for lunch and just vary what I put with it - i.e. one day cooked meat, the next a jacket potato, etc.

Dinner
Lasagne (recipe on the SW website, we just omit the parmesan and make it syn free. We also change it and have it made with chilli, chicken fajita, etc for variation)
Chilli
Curry
Stuffed chicken fillets with veg
Gammon/steak with SW chips
Pasta with home made tomato based sauce, with chunks of chicken and bacon
Grilled swordfish/basa/salmon/tuna with new potatoes and oodles of veg
Minced beef hash
Goulash
Home made burgers with home made coleslaw, SW chips and salad
Stir fry with noodles

I got the Extra Easy and Summer recipes books at class on Wednesday so will be going through those over the weekend for some different things to try next week!

Have you had a look through the recipe forums? Or why not have a look through the 'Whats for lunch/dinner' threads. If you do a search for 'lunch' there are literally dozens and dozens of threads with lunch suggestions

Well Dinners have been, Healthy chips with 1.5syn sausages, bacon and beans. Chicken Curry, Chicken tikka, Beef Vindaloo, Chicken/beef Stir Fry's with noodles, and roast chicken veg and potatoes.

Lunches have been super speed soup and sandwiches.

Dont forget your 1/3rd superfree with your meals chick, the chips sausage bacon and beans doesnt have any listed with it if i have this i tend to have onions and mushrooms with it too...or tomatoes

I love cous cous or veg stir frys for lunch, also jacket potato with beans and salad, soup is also nice for a lunch and you can have bread with it if you have an hex b spare
