Organic snacks and easy to make meals?
We don't use organic stuff because it's so expensive here but our diet has much improved by cutting out processed foods and making our own meals from scratch instead of buying ready-meals. Seriously, two years ago I had never cooked something from scratch. I bought jars of sauce to throw over things and ready made curries and lasagne. Yeuch! Now I make our meals from scratch. The only thing I do not make from scratch is bread and pasta. If you can make a simple mince bolognese, and a white sauce, then buy pasta sheets and some cheese. There you got yourself a lasagne. Look up Jamie Oliver's lasagne recipe. It's really easy to do. Once you've got the hang of it then add extras for more taste. I add peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and oregano in the mince and decorate the top cheese with tomato, mushroom and chopped onion with a sprinkling of minced garlic. Serve with garlic bread or a mixed green tossed salad. Delish! If you can make macaroni cheese, then you can make this. You can freeze what you don't use too and reheat in the oven. Good luck.
