DH is working away for 7 weeks, and I'm stocking the freezer up before he goes, to make life easier when he's away.

So far I've done a big batch of bolognese sauce, and a huge mac 'n' cheese, all portioned up, some vegetable soup, and a sausage stew.

What else could I do that would be good?

Will have quick teas like omelettes/stir-fries some nights, and the odd fish finger here and there as well, but having a stash of things I can just heat up will help.

Children are 1 and 3, and eat everything (For the moment, at least I know how quickly this can change!)

Home made pizza dough. Batches of falafels and fishcakes come in handy. Fish pie

Chilli con carne freezes well, so do most curries. I freeze Jamie Oliver's korma and rogan josh.
And risotto. I do a huge batch and freeze.
I love my freezer!
