As a busy student with hardly any spare time due to studying BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography and a busy university/placement timetable, quick meals that are easy and don’t require a lot of washing up are ideal. Without quick meals it’s easy to turn to takeout or even worse – rely on a housemate to cook a house dinner! If you’re struggling for ideas, Charlotte Whitwell is a BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography student who has thankfully put a list together to help you out!

 

1- salmon with golden vegetables rice -GF

 

  • Put your oven on and preheat to 180 degrees c
  • Get some tinfoil and cover the salmon in lemons and sweet chilli sauce or whatever you fancy, make a parcel out of your tinfoil so it can steam your salmon for 20 mins
  • Get your frying pan and cook your packet rice in some oil and throw in some extra veggies, alternatively for a lower calorie option, boil some rice for 10 mins
  • When the rice and veggies have got a golden tan, crack an egg and stir it up
  • Now put your rice in an oversized bowl and put the salmon on top! Tasty! You can also make this dish with chicken, tofu or add more veggies!

2- sausage and mash!

 

  • Boil potatoes for 10 mins on high (optional – add some salt in the water)
  • After 10 mins get your sausages in the frying pan cook for 20 min – bake in the oven for a healthier option
  • When the potatoes are soft, pour the water out of the pan you boiled them in and mash them in the pan – add some butter to make it tasty!
  • Get an oversized bowl and put the mash in with the three sausages on top
  • Meanwhile, get your mug and some gravy granules and make your gravy quick and easy
  • Add some peas to a bowl with a little bit of water in the bottom and zap them in the microwave.
