Easy batchcook meals for work

[Nicpem1982]

Im about to embark on a new job that will involve me working lates (1am) so ill need to take my evening meal with me to stop me spending unnecessarily on rubbish food.

Im hoping this will also kick start my weightloss im going to batch cook a few meals and freeze them to take with me

Ive so far got

Blackbean and chick pea chilli with wholegrain rice

Mushroom spinach and tomato curry with whole grain rice

Chicken and veg casserole with mash

Taco beef and vegetables with mini wrap

I dont like spag bol

Has anyone got any ideas for cheap batchcook lunches

You could make up a tub of cows cows salad on a Sunday, which would do for several meals. Add fresh veggie or feta, olives etc.

Spanish omelette - make a big one and it should last a couple of days.

Soup?

Oh fgs - cous cous!!!! Bloody autocorrect!

I'm veggie too - there ain't no cows in MY salad.

HOw are you planning on cooking the rice?

Cows in your salsa?

Lentil daal with wholemeal pitta
Paella (you can get paella paste for ease)

Wholemeal pittas are lovely filled with anything you fancy: some salad with chicken/ham/cheese/smoked salmon.

I know they aren't cooked but they are very easy, if you run out of freezer meals.

This couscous salad is fab, keeps well and, especially if you add a tin of chickpeas and some crushed toasted cashews to it, very nutritious.

Remus I changed my nn! No cow in my salad, moo!

Like cows, raisins have no place in a salad.

Or salsa.
