Make sure you read this post IN FULL to understand!
I then had an idea! After lots of recipe developing, timed runs and testing, I can now share this post! This post will show you that if you can spare just 1 hour (excluding time buying the ingredients) you can prepare 7 meals (which can feed up to 4!) and freeze them ready to be placed in your slow cooker in the morning to cook all day (or in the oven if don't have a slow cooker!).
By having everything prepped and ready to go when you need them, all you need to do is put them in the slow cooker in the morning and boil some rice/pasta if needed on the night, which gives you more time to relax after your day!

Setting Up:
- Make sure you have all the ingredients. Download my shopping list here, don't forget to tick off anything you already have in the house!
- When you're ready to start making, ensure all your ingredients are out and ready
- Get your freezer bags out and label them with each meal. It is easier to have everything to hand once you start making!
- I find it best to focus on one meal at a time.
