hi, welcome, can you do any batch cooking on a sunday? i tend to do this, curries etc then all you need to do is reheat and cook a pasta/ rice/ potato? 

Il also chuck a Baked potato in the microwave and finish it off the oven whilst im in the shower, doing housework etc etc

Hi Pixis

I agree with KLEW about batch cooking, saves a lot of time and stress when you are busy, and don’t forget KISS meals (keep it simple silly) things like a quick omelette, throw together a salad, some simple spaghetti with some pesto ran through it, bread and soup etc good luck with the course 👍

dinner tonight chicken and chorizo over a green salad, added jacket spud for DH

Sausage, ratatouille and celeriac mash.
Never heard of KISS meals but totally get it and have a few meals that would fit into this category....all day breakfast, oven tray bake etc

In terms of batch cooking I have a few 'go to meals'  for this too that I know freeze well. I keep a sticky note open on my desktop with my list and rotate. Usually do about 4/5 portions of each to freeze. Really need a big chest freezer to store more: 

• -chilli

• -lasagne

• -meatballs/shashluka

• -essex cassoulet (Jamie Oliver recipe)
• -meat  steak pie
• chicken pie
• -fish pie

• -curry
• -sausage and celeriac and apple (nice served with sauerkraut and another JO recipe) 
• -chicken in spinach and creamy sauce
• -shepherds pie
• -chicken/pork/beef peanut curry
• -Pizza
• -Brisket pot roast
• -celeriac, ham, cheese pasties/pie
• -quiche
• -hot pot lamb dauphinois
• -broccoli & stilton soup with ham chunks

Definitely batch cooking and freeze for some easy dinners. The Hairy Bikers have a veggie book either just out or coming out, I'm not usually one for advocating cook books but i do like their recipes and they don't usually have too much faffy stuff in them (sorry Nigella but saffron is not a store cupboard staple for most of us)

Last night was another humungous salad for me (2 day) - husband had faggots from our local butcher.
Tonight smoked mackerel and spinach risotto for me, smoked mackerel and peas pilau for him. Both single portion 'leftovers' out of the freezer on my mission to reduce stock in anticipation of house move.

Blueberry & meringue & creme fraiche for afters. Hungry work this decluttering!

Sweer potato curry tonight for both of us (eating the same thing is a rarity ) and I'll heat up a naan too

 A easy one this evening. Oven cooked hash browns, left over pork chops, and fried duck egg...might make it all into a big sandwich.

Frith

Chicken and mooli curry. Naans and papadums.

Roasted a load of veg, for the first time ever I used a roasted veg flavouring sachet. For the first time ever I didnt enjoy my roasted veg 😪
Made husband a lamb mince kebab loaf (recipe in takeaway secret cookbook) 
I had halloumi
Left over jacket potatoes from last night made into wedges.
Last of the coleslaw.

I defrosted two portions of some spicy lamb and rice concoction I'd made a while ago, made a little bit of white sauce to mix through it, and used it to stuff a couple of red peppers which were then oven baked. It turned out far tastier than I expected!
