Frozen foods

It is always best to use fresh ingredients in your cooking where you can, but in a busy life, sometimes you just don’t have them on hand. Maybe you haven’t had time to get your fresh veg or perhaps you just forgot because the day was so busy. On those occasions, frozen food from the freezer can be a blessing.

Grab a handful of frozen ingredients and you can have lunches for a week or an easy dinner. Flaky and crispy pastry is wrapped around a filling of cheesy vegetables in a moreish dish that is straight outta the freezer.

Stir-fry is a huge favourite in our house, but I loathe the hour of prep time it takes to cut up all of those vegetables for a “quick meal”, not to mention remembering to buy them all! Using a bag of stir-fry vegetables and frozen pineapple means you can have this delicious sweet and spicy stir-fry on the table in a fraction of the time – without a four-page shopping list!
