I’ve definitely been cooking a lot less from scratch over the past 6 weeks or so because of the labour involved. I am most definitely grateful for frozen veggies, sauces/pastes and the like! There is something very very satisfying about it when you do get around to it though.
I try to harness my more enthusiastic moments to make extra to freeze or preserve for the future so I can pull out easy meals when I don’t have the energy. Things like extra cheese sauce are especially good, because it doesn’t take much more effort to make a big batch than a small one.
I try to freeze as much as I can, but my bout of flu in July wrecked my stores and I’ve not been able to catch up since. I’m hoping to do some mega cooking over Cup Day weekend, maybe - if I don’t end up spending most of it asleep…
