BUt,as you can see the freezer it getting a little too fully stocked. So time to eat some it and make the raw ingredients in there into something delicious. The slow cooker will be making an appearance soon!.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541501002713133313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731270666774779720.post-45011002712804510782012-02-01T09:00:36.809-08:002012-02-01T09:00:36.809-08:00It is easy to believe we are all stay at home mums...It is easy to believe we are all stay at home mums but most of us haven't always been so. I was training to be a nurse with a young child to cater for as well as a husband who worked shifts in the RAF. I still made meals from scratch but didn't always make bread - those days it was a treat, now it is normal. Once you get into the swing of making things, make something in bulk then freeze it. This applies to pastry, curry, spag bol, stew, pies, puddings, shepherds pie, roast dinners, pizza's from bread dough etc. Always make as much as you can with what you have then divide into portions and freeze. That really is the secret. My weekends were free so choosing 1/2 a day from either Saturday or Sunday I set to work. Doing this each weekend, or an afternoon if free from shift work, goodies soon mounted up in the freezer. Once they are there, you use them but also continue to make them. Take a meal out at night or in the morning, it will be ready to cook when you get in. Simples!!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.com
