    Baked oatmeal with fresh fruit. Breakfast burritos. Baked French toast with cinnamon. My grand kids even like fried rice with eggs and veggies. All can be made ahead and frozen. I also make pumpkin apple bran muffins and eggs of choice. I make granola with dried fruit on hand. Rasins.dates.or blueberries apple.

    Don't blame you wanting to get ahead & spend less time in the kitchen on other days. I love meal planning, cooking but it's the washing up that I don't like and as I only have a small kitchen with nit a lot of workspace or a dishwasher I have to clean up/ wipe down & wash dishes as I go along. Which is good, but things then take longer! Anyway those breakfast bites look really nice , bit like a crustless quiche , I love quiche so these are right up my street I did a pulled pork chilli In my slow cooker yesterday, I was having a can't be bothered day so prepared the chilli then had a joint of pork in fridge so cooked it all, them took pork out, pulled it then put it back into the chilli with some spinach so had lots of veg in it. Ot was really nice, we had 2 portions left so we had it again for tea tonight, with rice tonight, jacket potato & cheese last night. Veg is prepped for tomorrow tea, that's in fridge, a chicken dinner tomorrow. Mashed potatoes are just the best, your meatballs , mash & veg , yummy. Going to make those bagels 🥯 this week had a look at the good food recipe that you used. We've got company this weekend so want to do nice easy breakfast so will make the bagels, the breakfast bites & crumpets ( I'm so into homemade crumpets at the moment). Good luck with the job interviews Claire

    Seems to me like you got loads done. I never want to spend 8 hours in the kitchen. Ugh. But, hopefully you have reaped the rewards of your doing the work on this day and that'll help you be more motivated to do it again on future Sundays. I hope job interviews went or are going well.

    I love these prep ahead videos Claire. Like your new fringe too.
    Curried sausages are nice, if you fancy a change.
    Another idea if you are making chilli anyway, is to make double the amount and freeze half as a meal for another week. It is great to have a ready meal ready for a night when you don’t feel like cooking. Also saves cleaning up twice after cooking 😊. The pesto looked amazing.

    Mashed potato is great. If i could have my way, I'd happily eat mashed potatoes every single day. Thinks perhaps i can. With sausages, peas and onion gravy like my grandma used to make. Or with chicken pie. Or on days when I'm particularly struggling with my mood, just lots of it with cheese.

    I don't mind shredding foods, but I hate peeling foods like potatoes or apples. I don't mind slicing , chopping , dicing etc.. And you are right about utilizing our food processors. It makes such quick work of things. By the way I love bangs on you. Hot, hearty meals are so welcoming this time of year. And absolutely clean as we go. I have been teaching my children cooking, and tell them little tips like that to make cooking more enjoyable. While something is mixing in our stand mixer, or simmering on the stove, or waiting for water to boil etc. do yourself the favor of cleaning up. We are on our way to Aldi today, and I want to get some fresh broccoli for dinner. Yummmm. I can't remember, but have you tried making freezer meals for the crock pot? YOu did such a great job on this. Your future self will thank you . Always good to see you Claire. Have a lovely day ! 😀❄☃💗

    I live in a small town Claire and our greengrocer and butcher are not open on a Sunday or Monday. Our bakers is also closed on a Sunday. It has always been this way. I think we have just got used to supermarkets being open all the time and expect other shops to be as well. I like to buy local as much as possible so have just planned my shopping days to suit. Great video, love the recipes. 😊 xx
