Batch cooks suitable for whole family (weaning child and adults)

[SGChome20]

I’m looking for ideas for freezable batch cooks suitable for everyone. We have started weaning DD and I would like to (hopefully eventually) be eating the same thing. I’m conscious that I have to keep salt sugar etc low so need to avoid processed as much as possible. I’m thinking things like making my own pasta sauce (does anyone have a good recipe with hidden veg!) and freezing it in portions, maybe lasagne, a very mild curry. Any other ideas of things that freeze well and suitable for small children?

turkey meatballs
Jamie Oliver 7 veg tomato sauce - could use as the sauce for the meatballs above.
Shepards/cottage/fish pie
Chicken casserole
Beef stew and dumplings

@DancesWithDaffodils thanks for the sauce recipe. Beef stew is something we make for ourselves but I am guilty of over salting. I think it will take a while to get used to adding salt at the table rather than to taste whilst cooking!

My DD loved lamb tangine at that age. We used kallo no salt chicken stock and lots of dried apricots.

Just a pity she’s refused to eat it ever again since she hit the terrible twos,

Get 'what mummy makes' cook book. It's brilliant for the whole family including weaning babies. She has lots of hidden veg based pasta sauces that are delicious, plus loads of other fantastic recipes that aren't a faff to make. She has a food planner too. You could follow on Instagram to see if it's the kind of thing you're after first.

Other than that I batch cook:
Spag bol
Fish pie
Cottage pie
Portions of cheese sauce (good for using up left over veg with pasta)
Curry

I started pulsing carrots & peppers (match head size) into Bol when DS was small and still do it now he’s an older teen, we all benefit from the extra veg.

We always batch cook & freeze in individual portions the following (with no salt or sugar, I use kallo salt free stock cubes)

Bol (to make spag bol or add kidney beans & chilli seasoning)
chicken casserole
beef casserole
lasagne
curry
mince (so I just have to make fresh mash for cottage pie)
