Pasta salad is a go to for me, I add a bunch of veggies (some fresh some cooked) and legumes with some sesame seeds and maybe some cashews if I have them. If we have quinoa I add that too. Add some nutritional yeast, bit of mayo and squeeze of lemon. Easy because I do it all in one pan and it takes 20mins tops.

Other favourites are chilli (con veggie for me) with a jacket potato or rice, soup, curry or a dahl (current obsession is butternut squash dahl).

@Raffiki You named pretty much everything I like to cook/eat, haven’t tried butternut squash though, might have to try it.

@DHggmu Lol not much help then 😂 You definitely should it’s really nice. Great in soups, wellington, curry… dahl 😁

@Raffiki Well great minds think alike (except I’m not vegetarian) but I just feel so limited and like to try new things, don’t feel creative enough to think of things though, and whenever I look things up it all seems so complicated 😕

@DHggmu It is definitely hard to get started and get into it with new stuff. I hear great things about Hello Fresh for that though! You could try it :)

@Raffiki I tried something similar a few weeks ago, the food was nice and it’s convenient, but I worked it out to being very expensive, I prefer to cook myself for that reason, just hard to find the time..
