More freezer decluttering. DD2’s swimming lessons have moved to thursday afternoons, so we need a plain boring lunch beforehand & something quick & easy for her tea. Because of this, I’m now doing the nursery run on wednesdays, so need a really quick tea I can shovel into DD2 before rushing to pick up DD1.
The pasta & sauce DH made last weekend went down well with DD1 (she just can’t resist olives!) so we’re having that again.

This week I’m trying to make a risotto DD1 will eat, and use up some of the curry & chilli we have stashed in the freezer. It seems like there’s too much cooking going on, but I’m hoping some batch cooking this week will help replenish the freezer with some more toddler-friendly meals (the baby will happily eat anything)
