These are some dinners that went down well. Tried to keep things simple and healthy. Amounts used are general, nothing will be ruined by a bit of apoximation. Should produce three small dinners. Standard over temp. Very tasty.

Chicken and Brassica Bake.
-- 30mins, one dish, one pan: easy/moderate

Slice one small leek
Pick leaves of a sprig of thyme, slice sprig of sage, whole spring of rosemary.
2 cloves of garlic squashed
Mix into casserole dish, spread chicken thigh fillets on top.
Drizzle of oil (olive, sunflower, saflower), Salt and pepper, bake for 20mins.
Par-boil broccoli and cauliflower florets.
(broccoli should be half the size of the cauliflower for an even cook)

---have a sit down

Drain broccoli and cauliflower, keep 1/3 cup of water.
Add to casserole dish, pour over water and 1/3 jar of bechemel (white sauce, or soft cheese)
Put a bit of mozzerlla on top and bake for further 10mins.

Serve with slice of wholegrain bread to mop up soupy sauce.
