I cannot see where prepacked stuff can be considered healthy. We had liver with onion and apples ,spring greens,carrots and mash for dinner last night ..not awfully exciting but it took 40 minutes to cook and put on the table.
Invest in a slow cooker ..you can do just about anything in them and will have a hot meal ready with the minimum of effort and you can freeze leftover portions for another time.
It's much cheaper to buy fresh veg and meat than prepacked stuff.Cook in advance and freeze stuff to save time.
If you Google "quick healthy meals "no end of sites and recipes come up.

ok how long are you prepared to spend preparing and cooking a quick healthy meal, and how adept are you in the kitchen? Based on your answer I will provide you with a couple of decent, healthy meals that dont consist of a jacket potato, a ready made meal, or a student type meal like spag Bol. Thank you.

You need a good non stick saucepan for this version of Macaroni cheese:

Boil the macaroni with a chopped onion for about 8 minutes until al dente. Drain & return to the saucepan and stir in a generous quantity of matured cheddar cheese until melted. Serve with tomato slices or some other coloured garnish.
