Meal Prep

I've done the usual cottage pie, chilli and a beef stew I've also done chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, soups for lunches, bought ready made frozen stir fry and cubed up some chicken ready to use with it. Ive got fish cakes with peas and sweet potato fries for a super easy meal too 😊 Oh and I have a nice shelf in the fridge waiting for me with loads of deli meat, brie and pate too haha 🤣 I can't wait to eat that! And some salmon and eggs x

We have done loads!

I’ve made freezer dump bags!! I did chicken fajitas, beef stew, lasagne, chilli, spag bol, marry me chicken, sausage tray bake/casserole, and chicken curry!

Amazing thanks ladies! Well sounds sooo good

I’ve meal prepped the usual - bolognese, chilli, cottage pie, curries, meatballs, fajita mix etc. I’ve prepped mashed potato so I can just defrost that and chuck something in the oven to go with it, as well as some pasta sauces and macaroni cheese sauces so we just need to boil the pasta. I’ve also meal prepped some banana pancakes, mini pizzas & broccoli and cheese twists for my son.

@Sasha look on TikTok for inspo as I wasn’t sure 🤣 Most of my bits are for the slow cooker so I can defrost it the night before and then leave it on all day!!🤍

@Bianca-Jasmine gonna have to sign up to Tik Tok now 🤣

@Sasha I swear by it!!! follow ‘theecomidwife’ she’s bloody brilliant!

My parents have gifted us a Cook new parents box delivery for the first 3 months which I massively appreciate 🙌🏼 I just don’t have the energy or motivation to cook right now 😩

You’re too good ladies, we’re getting Cook meals for the first 2-3 weeks 😬

I’ve got most of the above savoury stuff but also cookie dough frozen in balls in the freezer. Planning to bake and slice a banana bread and hoping my friend will bring some brownies for the freezer too! Obviously a stash of ice cream is a must!

Massive jellousy and appreciation ladies 🙌🏼 I stopped working on Tue and ever since just been doing laundry, cleaning the fudge out of our bathroom, met 2 Peanut friends 🥜 and cooked a lot just for this week.. defo no time for batch cooking. Not sure if I even will 🙈 We do Hello Fresh so that's a big help already. Still has to be cooked but we don't have a microwave so even with frozen meals, they will have to go to the oven or stove so hubs can as well cook HF.

You could just double whatever you are cooking and freeze half, think that's what I did with my first. We've been using Gousto/Hello Fresh/Green Chef since then so will just carry on with that. My mum is coming to stay a few weeks so she can cook 😂

Yes I’ve done around 15-20 containers, fish pie, cottage pie, chilli, banana bread, haddock curry & Chinese style sweet pork. Tomorrow doing beans & sausage stew 😃 makes me feel better having done some nutritious meals but not stressing at the same time bc can always get oven / microwave meals from the shop
