hi, rach is due to give birth in november, and we are looking at ways to make life easier/cheaper.
one idea we had is to make a load of very large curries, chillis etc and portion them out before freezing. if we did this with say chicken curry, lasagne, maybe pork curry, how long are they safe to be frozen for? and how do you advise rehetaing etc?
we have done it before with chilli with no problems, we have always let it thaw but could we reheat from frozen?
we have a slow cooker which we use where possible, but there are times when it woudl be nice to be able to reheat a curry etc.
any advice as to what we can cook and how to reheat etc greatly appreciated. we love asian/african dishes, but i am thinking maybe there are some soups/mexicans etc we could do aswell?
i am planning on doing a huge food shop in october/end of htis month, and will spend a day happily cooking huge dishes to have ready to go
