Saw here advertising it on her insta - glad it is coming back although I only cook for myself I do like the format of the programme and I suppose I could put mine in 4 seperate bags. 😁

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:17

You could indeed @FishPie2. Then have 3 in the freezer

Thanks for the heads-up @Blondeshavemorefun. I enjoyed S1 so looking forward to this.

@FishPie2 I'm the same. I just divvy it up into 4 or 5 portions but use small plastic tubs - I find the freezer bags messy and not easy to clean.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:57

i thought s1 might be crap but I did enjoy it

thi joes cooking skills are interesting 😂

I have just bought some of those silicone meal boxes that are 4/8 portions in 1 then I take them out and bag them up when they are frozen. They are brilliant and really easy to get the blocks out.
Yes I got them from Temu to make up a craft order and was impressed and ordered some more.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 22:38

I’m the queen of Temu 😂😂

JOE and the batch lady transform more family meal times in Yorkshire can FIONA reduce a food waste? I still have a protein powered diet for her sons.

So glad I found you, was about to start a thread

some easy watching to enjoy before the love island final

mumofoneAloneandwell · 23/02/2026 20:09

It’s kind of just another eat well for less

I don’t like joes beard tbh

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2026 20:34

Yes it’s similar to that but they usually make enough for one in the freezer as well

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2026 21:08

Meals seemed nice enough and easy to make

the 3 kids /adult children seemed really nice

I can't get over how Joe was pronouncing the word 'house' 😯 It sounded more like ous than anything else!

mydogisthebest · 24/02/2026 11:37

Nice family but can't believe all the mouldy items in their fridge. Also wasting so much food.

Yes, the mould was completely out of control 😯

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/03/2026 20:36

Known is on ml. But she does all the complicated cooking for her step kids

i don’t see daddy cooking gluten free

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 02/03/2026 20:43

I missed why she’s always holding baby ? Reflux or just bad habits and needs to be put down and have moan /cry sometimes

OP posts:
FishPie2 · 03/03/2026 07:13

I am watching now on catch up and wondered why she always has the baby on her arm, will she be taking it to work with her.

Meredusoleil · 03/03/2026 07:28

I agree about the baby. She could have done with using a sling 😉

Not2identifying · 03/03/2026 08:02

I believe one of the GF children is a stepchild and the other is her biological child. Looks like she'll cope much better in the future (and have more help from her DH and older kids).

I wish they squeezed more recipes in to the show and made them more obviously available to viewers.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/03/2026 13:30

Yes think you were right one step child and joint child were both gf

I can’t believe how they left such a mess for their mother to clean up and never cooked her a meal. Lazy fuckers

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/03/2026 13:29

E3 tonight

The sellers family meal times are chaos thanks to DAD Rick‘s long working hours and the daily supermarket trips will they ever get dinner on the table before 9 pm?
