15 minute meals from scratch ...my fat aunt ..!
We all work, some of us get paid for it .
The last thing I want to do when I arrive home some nights is to work up a lather of sweat peeling, grating , slicing , pan frying or oven baking against an unwinding clock.
When I go shopping I purchase tinned beans, pulses and packets of dried grains and glass jars of horseradish cream, artichoke hearts , chopped garlic and ginger , honestly I even buy the odd jar of lemon curd...to cater for the ` melt down ` moments in my life.
Don`t feel guilty , just make sure that what you purchase are products of and manufactured here in Australia where possible........
A COMPLETE MEAL SALAD..

1. cup of quinoa..(keen wah ) a gluten free source of fibre and protein, totally cholesterol free.
