weezl I would find it helpful to know what main meals can be frozen.
On the bread front, I've worked out that at 5 slices a day, I would need to make 14 loaves a week...I think I'll see how it goes before I committ to that today!
Frankie, DH and I have tried everything except the spanish omelette from frozen, and felt it was only the pasta dishes that suffered. Tasting good but being a bit soggy
You could freeze the pasta sauces though, apart from the carbonara. HTH xxx

Thanks for the freezing info, that's really helpful.
My DH puts the bread on the hob to rise, so I will probably do that.
Is there a method somewhere for the pizzas? Anything with dough involved is a bit of a weak area for me 0 -
will look at that now frankie, just after K's feed if that's ok? Are you starting it in the next 20ish mins? xxIs there a method somewhere for the pizzas? Anything with dough involved is a bit of a weak area for me

Whenever you get around to it is fine. I'm not sure if I'll get around to it today, but didn't want to be searching around for one on Saturday.0

8 loaves
• Tangy bean pate
2 batches
• Houmous
2 batches
• Nut butter
2 batches
• Pastry for tart
For freezer
• Pastry for pie
For freezer
• Slow cook chicken
Portion out for pie and freeze
• Carrot cake
1 batch
• Savoury bites
1 batch
• Oat biscuits?
• Soak peas
Portion out and freeze
• Make up sandwiches
For freezer
Monday is already the day I set aside for cleaning and cooking, though not usually to this extent, so I'm just working on this weeks food.0 -
weezl Just a couple of other questions, if you don't mind...
Do the cheese balls need to be made and eaten straight away or can they be stored?
Do you think if I made the oaty biscuits today, they would still be ok for Sunday?
How long do you think the savoury bites would stay fresh?
Is there a list somewhere of the other cakes/snacks?0 -

I've updated the one in the usual place now. I'd be grateful if you could have a look and tell me if detail needs adding
