Batch cooking is something I promised myself I'd get better at this year so, on Saturday, I had my first batch cooking session in ages and now have twelve meals in our freezer ready to use - just think how much time that's going to save me. I'm so lucky to have the freezer space I do - we have one freezer as part of the fridge freezer, one under-counter freezer and one big freezer in the garage - but I really could be so much cleverer when it comes to using the space.It's not that I don't already do a lot of batch cooking but usually, I just cook more food than we need and … [Read more...]
Five super simple meals made using the veg from our veg box….
You might have read in a post recently that I've signed up for a regular vegetable box delivery with a local company which is something I've wanted to do for ages. The main reason I kept putting it off was that I didn't know if I'd be able to incorporate all the vegetables we got into meals - I worried that I'd end up wasting food which is totally against what I wanted.It hasn't been that way at all though and with a lot of creative thinking, we've used up everything (apart from the three corn on the cobs that I gave away) so today, I thought I'd show you a few of the meals we've cooked … [Read more...]

This week’s meal plan – the one with all the shortcuts….
This week is going to be one of the busiest weeks we've had in a long time which is really saying something considering how mad our lives have been recently. In the past, I might have been tempted to not bother with a meal plan and just wing it but that never works well for me (or my bank balance) so I'm going for a meal plan with a difference this week.Every day this week, I'll be getting in from work about half-past four and every single day, I'll be going back out again at some point as I have pretty much everything from a parents night to a works do and from a football match to a spa … [Read more...]

Judging by the sky outside today, it's definitely a soup for lunch day! Which means that today is the perfect day to share my super warming butternut squash and ginger soup recipe!One of my all-time most popular posts is my recipe for spicy butternut squash and sweet potato soup - especially at this time of year!It's my favourite soup recipe most of the year round (I'm all about Pea and Mint in the Summer) but I made a big batch if it last weekend which I had over a few days for lunches.
