A Canadian friend invited me over yesterday to help me with my terminal hopelessness at cooking :) He was a great teacher!
We roasted chicken breasts in olive oil with herbs and spices along with courgettes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic.

For pudding we reduced some orange juice down and then fried banana slices before adding yoghurt, cinnamon, maple syrup and grated chocolate-
soooo good!

OK…the risotto came from a packet, but it was pretty healthy and I prepared it with only water- no oil/cream. Then I livened it up with green beans, chickpeas, seasonings, garlic and cream cheese. It was pretty good!
