Batch Cooking for School Lunches: How Prepping in Advance Makes Mornings a Breeze

[danxox]

@greenbiscuit Do they have a base, just not sides? Or literally just a fritatta?

 

[carpen6738]

@danxox they have a pastry bottom.

 

[danxox]

@carpen6738 So just slightly fewer calories from less pastry then

 

[carpen6738]

@danxox yes, also works if you don't like a lot of pastry.

@greenbiscuit not really, they have a texture which is closer to flan The one that my mum makes anyway! x

5minutes while dinner is cooking to make packed lunch for the next day. frozen sandwiches. Gross.

 

[dfqueen]

@joseph30 I endured them. You're not wrong!

 

[elderkohio]

@joseph30 exactly what I do x

Surely everyone freezes bread. Just get out what you need, defrost in the microwave. Never thrown away any bread.

 

[kds1986]

@honkytonkangel I've never frozen bread

 

[honkytonkangel]

@kds1986 Where do you keep it so it doesn't go stale ?

 

[london123]

@honkytonkangel a loaf lasts about a day in my house

 

[honkytonkangel]

@london123 Week and a half for us .

 

[london123]

@honkytonkangel wow! I don’t even know where it goes

 

[reginnalder]

@kds1986 I tried it and it went soggy whenever I tried to defrost it so now only ever fresh bread

 

[danxox]

@honkytonkangel If I freeze bread I tend to get out how many slices I need & use it for toast. If I was gonna sandwich it I'd probably micro defrost it on kitchen roll to absorb the moisture.

 

[honkytonkangel]

@danxox Yep, me too

 

[eae45]

I would not be giving my kid anything with meat, eggs or dairy in that’s been defrosting in their bag/lunchbox all day

I sometimes bake batches of spring rolls/sausage rolls/pakoras so I have them ready for packed lunches. I do sandwiches/wraps the night before and then just add fruit/salad in the morning. I also sometimes do breakfast muffins and freeze. Just take out what I need before I go to bed. Rolls and wraps come out of the freezer every morning.
