I don’t but I really should. I need to change my habits and take inspiration from others on here. The close proximity of a great High Street helps me to continue to be lazy.

I'm single, and I always cook enough for two. Eat one/Chill-Freeze one. 🍲🙂

Antomac, have you thought that it's at least as quick to make something by the time you get there, dither and select, queue and get home?
It finally dawned on me one day when I'd forgotten an item. Radio on a good play or something and doodling around the kitchen.
Always keep a few tins and a couple of ready meals in case it's been a horrible day or something.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

I do it with spag bol and normally get 6 portions out of it - eat one just after cooking and freeze the rest to then eat one portion a week. Want to learn to cook more stuff in this way!

I love cooking but always cook too much. However i've always been more worried about the reheating process and making sure the food is safe enough to eat.

I hate cooking but i batch cook to save time. I only batch cook meals that can be done in the slow cooker. I love it when i can go to the freezer and take out a homemade ready meal.

Yes I try to make something every few days to eat for work lunches. I also try to do this using yellow sticker reduced ingredients so that I can save a bit extra. It encourages me to be creative.
