easy

Summer spaghetti meatballs - Simple, cheap and quick, the perfect meal for a warm midweek dinner following some a nice afternoon stroll.

Back to basics cooking. This Easy Cheese Sauce recipe, is simple, quick and can be made from ingredients you already have lying around at home. You can add, cooked chicken, cooked bacon, green beans, other vegetables, almost anything you have in the fridge. It can be served with Pasta, rice dishes, over potatoes, over broccoli and other vegetable. This makes this easy cheese sauce super flexible and a handy recipe to have to hand for a quick, affordable and delicious dinner or lunch.

With my original meal plan going out of the window today and with the help of the BBC good food guide I settled on this little one pot dish instead. With a park play date, school production rehearsal and a lazy pre-teen refusing to walk or ride to school this week I needed something fairly simple. I knew I had some chicken in the freezer and Thai green paste left from another recipe, so this is where I ended up. One pot – two steps – three feed children and a happy daddy!

A nice and easy one tonight. We have a few extras in the house today, with everyone trying to cram the most into the remaining few days of the school holidays. Being completely honest i have no idea how much this cost as I already most of the ingredients in and all I needed to buy was the pineapple chunks and sugar snap peas. I originally saw this recipe on the BBC food website and adapted it slightly to suit our ingredients and taste.
