Just wondered if anyone had any cheap and healthy dinner ideas? Would be a bonus if they don't take long either :)

    Wholewheat pasta with tomato pasta sauce and tuna, chicken stir fry in black bean sauce with egg noodles, chicken baked with onion, peppers and lime with salsa in a whole meal tortilla, baked smoked haddock, new potatoes and green beans.

    What is cheap, what is healthy? Dinner can be almost any combination of protein, starch and veg, and it can be as fast as you like it, but many meals are better if you spend a little time and effort. Pick something you like from a cookbook or search the net.

    Today I had muchroom soup, yesterday baked cod, potatoes, curry sauce and grated carrots, the day before that nothing, the day before that T-bone steak, oven baked brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes, the day before that pancakes, the day before that wraps, the day before that salmon, basmati rice and peas, the day before that carrot soup.

    Stir fry with lean meat and veggies, maybe some eggs or rice
    Chicken breast and sweet potatoes
    Chicken and noodles with veggies
    A breakfast scramble with egg whites
    Pan seared swai or tilapia filets with roasted veggies
    Shredded chicken tacos

    Cheap is going to be a lot of chicken breast, grains, and frozen veggies.
