I make quiches and they freeze well. Use large foil tart plates - handy if you don’t have a number of quiche dishes. I put sausages in them, as well as whatever veg are in season. Good for lunches with salad and crusty bread.

Hi jeanie, sounds like fun.

I'd make shepherds pie, lasagne, fish pie, chilli, curry, stroganoff etc. Buy cooked chicken, pizza and salad stuff. Get fish and chips. Hopefully in the summer it will be nice enough for a few barbecues too.

And enjoy.

Ok here is my problem
I have son and family plus daughter and family coming to stay for 7 and 14 days this coming summer.
This will be including my husband and I 6 adults and 3 under 5 yrs old and a baby to cater for.
I already know I can't do all the catering and keep sane and stress free.
Thought of some takeaways and ready meals from say Tesco (never bought before). and the occasional eating out although the girls think this is sometimes a problem with the little ones.
I want to have time with the grandchildren who we don't see very often.
I want some home made food and was wondering if there are some really tasty main meals people could recommend which would freeze successfully.
I could do the cooking a month before they all arrive.
Non of the men or my DIL cook so no help there.
I would love to here what others would do in my situation.
Thanks so much
