Need to .... get off... sofa

Hello

Tonight I am going to be batch cooking low fat versions of:

Spaghetti Bolognaise
Lasagne (not too low fat, will have cream in sauce!)
Broccoli cheese
Mince beef and onion pies (including making pastry)
Beef burgers
Tomato soup
Chicken and leek soup (or maybe pie, having been inspired by a recent thread!

for freezing. Unless the mince beef isn't thawed, then it will be done tomorrow. Anything else I can do and freeze with mince beef?

That is if I can get off the sofa and this site and do it!!

Here are some to keep you going, although it sounds like you have plenty to do!

Meatballs instead of spag bol - fantastic, thank you. I had forgotten about them.

I used to do loads of batch cooking - mainly for a friend who was on a diet. Good for you I am finding it hard to get off the sofa and get motivated.

Hello

Completed:

Lasagne
Broccoli cheese
Mince and onion for pies
Rock cakes in the oven (to disguise the smell of birthaday cake)

Unfortunately my inherited Kenwood Chef has stopped working and there is a suspicious smell of burnt innards, which is nothing to do with my cooking, honest!!

Does anyone know how easy it is to get them fixed or should it be consigned to the skip?

Thanks

Hello

Meat balls and sauce
Burgers
Birthday cake

The soups and pastry are going to have to wait, me feet are killing me!! That's a total of .75p per meal, not including veg or the cake!

well done on being so motivated, i have not really tried batch cooking main meals yet though i do it quite often when i am baking.

The idea of batch cooking main meals is still something i find quite daunting.
