What's your go to, basic, can't be arsed dinner (not takeaway)

Top of the pops at the minute is Maggi chicken instant noodles with philedelphia cream cheese and cut up Swedish meatballs.

When I was at uni it was pasta with tinned tomatoes and sausages cut up (the sausages should be cut up raw and put in the sauce to cook. No pre browning!)

Egg on toast is up there as well.

I'm prepared for all the emojis

Crumpet loaf with decent butter.

I always feel guilty and end up cooking! I guess my laziest meal (aside from a takeaway) would be jacket potatoes but I still have to scoop the flesh out and mix it with various cheese and then bake again.

When it's just me I have a yoghurt or a Twister ice lolly.

Harissa chicken. And I know it makes me sound waitrose as hell

Fry chicken in a pan, add a bag of baby tomatoes till they split, add a pot of cream, add 1 good dollop of rose harissa then add a whole bag of spinach and serve over pasta.

Takes about 10 minutes to cook and I feel healthy because it has spinach in it.

But more often than not I batch cook stuff so there's always chilli con carne, bolegnese,curry,soups etc in the freezer that only need defrosted and heated up

Anything on toast is good. Beans, scrambled eggs, cheese.

Why are these simple quick foods also some of my favourites?

A nice one is tinned tomatoes with a stock cube, Worcester sauce etc. Thrown in. Stick it on toast, lovely.

Thank you! Well, make a basic white sauce (milk and cornflour - I just bung it in a sauce pan, no real measurements) add a heaped teaspoon of brown sugar, a dash of soy sauce, and a heaped tablespoon of peanut butter. Heat it til it turns into a thick sauce - stirring all the time. I think it’s a bit like a satay sauce.

My quick lunch is a quick spicy soup: I dice a half a red pepper and a celery stick and cook it in plain water with some chopped spring onions until it has the right soft bite. Add a sachet of instant Hot Szechuan Soup, stir and let it simmer for a moment. I usually add some sliced meatballs before serving. Including preparation it takes 15 minutes to prepare and cook.

Similar soups use fresh mushrooms and instant chicken and leek soup or pepper and celery with an instant Thai coconut soup.

Just the right amount of filling and satisfying for a working from home lunch
