OK I have to confess to my ultimate fast food meal - this is the fall back when we get home really late or I am ill or I just can't be bothered any more (bad mummy)... Fish Fingers - from freezer (8 minutes under the grill & breadcrumbs removed as dictated by Small.) Peas - from freezer dunked in boiled water from the kettle. Mashed Potato - from freezer 3 mins in microwave to defrost. Followed by yoghurt and fruit. 10 mins preparation time from start to finish. The mashed potato is my really lazy standby. I bake a huge batch of potato, mash it all up (no butter or milk at this stage) freeze it in a muffin tin and then portions can be defrosted when needed. I zap it in the microwave and add butter or cheese at that point. Some days I am the Queen of Lazy.
