After a busy summer holiday, it’s back to an even busier routine for mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles, childminders and babysitters. Of course, it’s always nice to get cooking and make a meal from scratch, but for those nights where after-school clubs, dance classes, football practice and other activities put the squeeze on teatime, a ready-in-minutes menu can come to the rescue. Here are our favourite combos from the frozen aisle.
Easy-freezy tea #1: Fish Fingers with peas and waffles
They’ll clear their plate almost as quickly as you can cook this fun little combo up. If they’re not a fan of fish, swap out the fish fingers for chicken dippers.

Of course...the go-to treat for busy days is always a hit with little children, big kids and rushed kids at heart. Buy a few different toppings for everyone to share, or buy smaller pizzas and throw on fresh toppings for those individual orders.

Easy-freezy tea #6: Lamb Grill Steak with Smiles and Mixed veg
Great for a midweek mini-roast, without cooking the roast. Lamb is great for mixing things up at mealtimes, and Smiles add a fun to their plate too.

Easy-freezy tea #7: Quorn Vegan pieces with Mediterranean Vegetables
This one’s great if you need or choose to keep their teas meat-free, and mixing in the mediterranean vegetables as you cook the Quorn on the hob makes it a little bit more ‘grown’ up too. Lots of other frozen veg is available though, so you can take your pick and add whatever they like best.
