Planning and preparing tasty meals every day of the week can feel like a big job. Here's an
easy way to help you be food smart - and prepare healthier meals quickly and cheaply. To
make it even easier, there's also a shopping list you can take to the supermarket.
All the recipes can be prepared for around 5 and each one serves four adults (with the
exception of the Sunday roast which serves six but costs a little more).
If you're feeding kids too, remember that they don't need to eat as much as an adult and
need kid-sized portions. If you're cooking for fewer people you can simply reduce thequantities - or why not make the full amount and freeze the extra for another day?

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes & mushrooms
For a healthier cooked breakfast, enjoy thistasty combination.
Serves: 4 adultsPreparation time: 5 minsCooking time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes halved
2 handfuls mushrooms (cup or button)
4 slices wholemeal bread
8 eggs
4 tbsp 1% fat milk
2 tsp low-fat spread
1 pinch ground black pepper
What to do:
1. Preheat the grill. Arrange the tomatoes and mushrooms on the grill rack and grill them for 8-10 minutes.
2. Whilst they are cooking, toast the bread.
3. Beat the eggs and milk together. Melt the low-fat spread in a non-stick saucepan and add the beateneggs. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon, until the eggs are set.
4. Serve the scrambled eggs on the slices of toast, along with the grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Seasonwith some pepper, then serve.
Tip 1: To prevent the eggs from over-cooking and getting too dry, it's a good idea to stop cooking themwhen they are still quite sloppy, as they will continue to cook just from the heat of the pan for anotherminute or two.
Tip 2: If you're not keen on tomatoes, grill some pieces of red or yellow pepper instead.
