Back to school preparation 30/1/2016

With less than four days before the school year begins for us, I decided I should get baking. 

In preparation for snacks, school lunches, after school snacks and quick dinners, for those evenings you are at after school activities and you just dont have enough time to come home and prepare a hearty meal. 

Unlike most other families, we cant just grab takeout as our many food allergies prove difficult to cater for all 3 kids.

I tend to make big batches of the foods I know the kids enjoy and freeze them in tupperware, using Go-between freezer fill, in between layers where required.

 

Today I chose to make:

• Sausage rolls
• Mini chicken pies
• Veggie burgers using fresh ingredients from the garden
• Family meat pie
• Popcorn chicken
• Pasta sauce ready for spag bol or lasagne
• Mini cupcakes with a drop of lemon frosting
• Zucchini loaf with cream cheese frosting (which i will cut into portions ready for lunchboxes before freezing)
• Muesli Bars

Here is some of what I achieved today

I really do enjoy cooking, however during the week it becomes very difficult 3 kids, school, homework, sports, dinner, baths and a husband.

Just choosing whats for dinner can be stressful when you are time poor, so its great to have some backup options in the freezer.

Good luck for the school year everyone and happy cooking.

I will have some fresh ideas next baking day.
