That can all be made vegan!

There are so many yummy, quick and cheap meals you can make with just a few basic ingredients. So whether you're a beginner or super busy, these are some great recipes to have under your belt. 

Stir fry 🍜

From start to finish, a stir fry can be ready in just about 10 minutes. Plus, you'll only need one pan or wok, which means less cleaning up afterwards. So if time is seriously tight, a stir fry is the way to go. 

Simply choose your favourite ingredients and start tossing them around until they're nearly tender. Then bring in your sauce, whether it's a store-bought option or something you whip up at home. Pour it in, add your noodles to the mix, and give everything a good fry for a few more minutes. Sorted.

Pizza baguettes 🍕

No need to spend a fortune on endless delivery pizzas when you can make your own with as little as three ingredients!

How? Grab a fresh baguette, slice it in half (soft side up), slather on some pasta sauce or tomato purée, sprinkle on plenty of grated cheese, then finish with your favourite toppings. If you're using meat, just make sure that it's cooked ahead of time. Pop it in the oven for around 10 minutes, and there you have it - a quick and delicious homemade treat. 

Pasta bake 🍝

If you want to start meal prepping for the week, pasta bake is a great option. One of the best things about this dish is that it's super customisable - choose a different pasta shape, sauce, veggies, and protein every time.

And the best part? Any leftovers can be saved for another day. Pop them in a sealed container in the fridge and you're good to go later in the week. 

Fajitas 🌯

Want a tasty and friendly meal to share with your flatmates? Fajitas are your answer. A perfect choice that brings everyone together.

Just cook up some chicken, peppers, and onions in a pan until they're cooked. If you're skipping the meat, go for halloumi or load up on extra veggies. To boost the flavour, you can grab pre-made fajita seasoning or mix your own using spices like garlic, chilli, cumin, and paprika. Sprinkle your ingredients with the seasoning, and you're all set to create some seriously mouthwatering wraps. It's as simple as that!

he great thing about this dish is that it's not just budget-friendly and satisfying, but it also caters to everyone – meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegans.
