Wanted - recipe ideas...

Anyone have any new and exciting quick n easy to cook recipe ideas for busy mum?

Omlettes! My kids love them, and they are very quick and are also a healthy option if you serve them with vegetables like chopped tomatoes, cucumber and peppers (OK, they are all fruits, but that's not really the point).

I also microwave new potatoes now instead of boiling them, because it's much faster.

Gnocchi with a variety of sauces. If in a hurry i just do passata, frozen peas and sweetcorn or pesto and frozen broccoli - just bung the frozen veg in with the gnocchi and drain all together. It's ready in about 5 mins and you can even keep gnocchi in the freezer and cook from frozen.

Second the gnocchi idea, its a regular in this house. Another idea if you have leftover spuds (or even boil a few extra to keep in the fridge) is to peel and mash them, add a finely slice spring onion (if you have one) drain and add a tin of salmon or tuna. Also at this point I add, finely chopped, any herbs that are lurking in the fridge drawer. Roll into fishcake and fry for a few minutes either side. My son loves these.
