Tips:
To make Granola, just mix oats, maple syrup and honey, and bake for 15mins
To make a whole chicken last 3 meals, use the breasts for one meal, the legs / wings for another, and the rest can be used to make a quick soup (just add the chicken, and a stock cube into a pan of water and simmer for 45mins. Then Stir in corn flour, soy sauce, 2 egg whites and sweet corn a few mins before serving.
Couscous can make a really quick lunch, take the couscous in dry, and just add hot water when your ready to eat it, mix with your favourite soup sachet for instant flavour.
