Toddler dinners that freeze well

user1493413286 · 20/07/2019 19:21

I make my toddler DDs meals to be reheated at her childminders and I’ve ended up in a bit of a boring cycle of pasta related dishes, sausages and chicken in sauces.
Anyone got any food suggestions of meals that can be batch made for the freezer and reheat well (that aren’t pasta or mince)?

I'd just be sending her with a sandwich Hmm

I suppose the childminder could stick it under the grill if it's a cold day and hot food is needed.

Is this something you are doing off your own back or gas the childminder requested it?

Do childminders not provide food then? I think that's outrageous! Glad we went with nursery now!

RoomR0613 it’s for her dinner so I’m already providing a packed lunch unfortunately. She doesn’t provide meals so I have to do it.
I don’t actually mind that much as at least I know she’s getting good quality food but recently it’s become harder work
