I tend to do things like salmon, quiche, cold meat, occasional lamb burger, pasta all with salad and usually new potatoes, but I’m running out of ideas.
Any suggestions?

Well, I was getting a bit like that too, but yesterday I saw a recipe on TikTok for peach and burrata salad and I've just been shopping for the ingredients so we're going to have that for a change.

Prawn "
Pasta "

Not very inventive but I like salad, try differing your salads with adding croutons, chopped nuts, fruit pieces mange tout, chopped crispy bacon not all at once though 😂

Risotto perhaps?……..I know it has to be cooked but it is only one pan, potential to use up left overs and is tasty and nutritious.

Greek Mezze: Dolmades / Hummus / Taramasalata with Cod or Haddock ( Grey mullet is unavailable on our side of the Spanish side of the Mediterranean ) however, can use red mullet or gallineta.

Gazpacho or Salmorejo ( cold soup )

My standbys are
microwaved jacket potatoes with coleslaw or

couscous which just needs to be soaked in boiling water with lots of chopped up bits and bobs in it (tomatoes, olives, spring onions, sweetcorn, cooked veg)

Salad alongside

Cheesy egg and spinach pie which can be eaten hot or cold. It has no pastry crust so quite easy to do. I found the recipe or it found me on UTube.
