The suggestion for batch cooking is an excellent one, also TGTG bags. Really don't think you're doing anyone any favours having MDs....they are ultra processed rubbish, doing more harm than good.

Yeah, I do already batch cook and freeze meals. I actually have some in the freeze right now. For me I currently have lots of meals on hand, but dd2 eats a far more restricted diet and she currently has very little to hand. I do need to encourage her to keep some lasagne in the freezer because that’s an easy go-to for her.
Oh and in case anyone doesn’t know - cooked rice freezes amazingly well. I have it in blocks and then just reheat it in the microwave. 😋End ofDec-24Sep-25

Hi I would employ your daughter to do some batch cooking for you both, then if she finds an empty fridge she will NOT find an empty freezer. Think what could have been made with the £20. Also you are trying to fix your past, your daughter hasn't gone short and neither are you now. Good luck V x6
