Cooking For One

[SPARKLER1]

I want to prepare some meals for mum - she has been so busy visiting sd in hospital for the last couple of weeks. My sister and I have been inviting her back from meals with us but she likes to be able to go home sometimes to relax. I would like to help her out by preparing some meals that she can reheat throughout the week. Any ideas/tips/recipies?
TIA x

casseroles are easy to cook in bulk, divide into portions, freeze and then reheat as and when

Also meant to say that is a really nice thoughtful thing to so, sparkler .

Will hunt out good recipes and get back you....

things easily reheatable like shepherds/cottage pie, lasagne, bolonaisse so all she has to do is cook spaghetti

Delia's Beef in Beer recipe. Better with dumplings than croutons IMO

lamb hot pots with thinly sliced potatoes on top ?

P.S. That beef in beer recipe is fab with a puff pastry pie crust on top too.

Brian Turner's chicken curry if your mum like a bit of spice

the bbc food website is brilliant for inspiration actually. The recipe finder is quite comprehensive.

Simple but good sausage casserole recipe, works well with added chicken thighs/drumsticks too, ooh and cannellin beans

cannelini beans.

Yuuuum thanks all.
