ok so for yesterday:

Carrot and corriander soup

onion (finely chopped)
carrots , fresh, frozen or tinned
ground corriander
fresh corriander (finely chopped)
salt and pepper
veg stock

soften the onion in a pan,
add the carrots, ground corriander and veg stock
bring to boil then simmer til carrots are cooked,
blitz until smooth,
add salt and pepper to taste,
stir in fresh corriander just before serving!

turkey thigh, sausage and bacon slow cook casserole
(thighs are cheaper than breast and much tastier!

chop and brown the meat, add 1 veg stock cube,, quarter of a small packet of stuffing mix (trust me on this one lol) then as much veg as you like, I bulk it up with carrot, onion, mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn, beans, whatever you fancy, I pop it in the slow cooker but you can stick it in the oven for a few hours and then eat! Great with loads of coarse ground black pepper and a few herbs thrown in (I pop in dried chillis too for a bit of a kick!)
