Hi all,
New here and hoping to pick your brains. We'd like to save some time in the evenings and of course, eat a little more sensibly (less take aways!) so, with this in mind, we've just bought a chest freezer, and the intention is to prep as many meals as we can of a sunday, ideally once a fortnight! and stock it up.
Just wondered if anyone could recommend any recipe books for this? or can share some go-to freezer meals? I love a BBQ and was intending to batchup some rubs/marinades and cover various meat and chuck in the freeze. Then 24 hours or so before the cook, chuck them in the fridge and cook in the evening. That really is as long as I want to spend cooking in the evening.
Ideally I can get even that down - essentially I want to make ready meals, but hopefully healthy and not always meaty! We've got plenty of trays.
I'll be getting pizzas and stuff as we all cheat after all. But would like to have a decent stock of ready prepared foods to ensure those easy take away calls aren't as easy as just grabbing something from the freezer.
