Batch Cook With Me! | 22 Meals, Breakfasts, Lunches & Dinners!

Didn’t see if anyone else said this but re: getting oats into jars I have a wide funnel for jam makers and it’s a life saver 😊

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

I absolutely love batch cooking! I recommend it to everyone, whether on your own or in a family, it just saves so much time, money & hassle. I really got into it for about 2 years, but lost my mum suddenly in January, & it just threw me, & with the gross summer we’ve had I just haven’t got back into it. Hoping to do so soon! I echo the suggestion of cornstarch, just a teaspoon diluted with the teeniest amount of water, stirred & then pop into whatever dish needs thickening, cook it down a bit & it should work wonders! Some people use smash for a thickener too! Yeh… mayflower is my favourite curry too, but it’s Chinese based, if you don’t know (I only found this out last year as I follow a channel called Chin & Choo based on Chinese takeaway food), making Chinese curry sauce from scratch is GRIM lol. It takes possibly days, infusing all these herbs / spices in a huge vat of oil, skimming it.. oh lawd no! Different to Indian curry’s where you can brown spices & build it up at home. I’ll stick to mayflower curry powder 😂 Enjoy your week on delicious meals, I must try that crustless quiche recipe out! X

[@TheSliceOfJess]

It’s a great way of saving money and being prepared! I love it but do t do it nearly often enough! Wow I never knew that about Chinese based curry’s!

[@christineodonnell9391]

Very enjoyable to watch. Your fridge contents deserve a gold star! Who wouldn’t want all those lovely goodies there available for when you fancy? Well done x

[@kayleighmarie3086]

I love batch cooking veg soup for my daughters packed lunches or chorizo pasta bake is favourite lunch. It is a lovely feeling when you’ve done it it, well done to your for being so organised. X

[@samanthawalters2114]

If you add cornflour it will help thicken the soup, adding potato would also help xx

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Should have done that!!!

[@happyheart4086]

@@TheSliceOfJess or chia that's a thickener. I'm transitioning onto low carb high protein and going to batch cook I think it will make it easier to stay on track. I'm the UK where did you get the meal containers and white chocolate flavouring?

[@jaga19871]

I second that, I use either potato flour or plain 😊

[@kat7777]

Potato starch and flour are the worst things for inflammation in the body, insulin resistance and therefore hindering any long term healthy body or losing any weight. Calories are negligible when following a healthy low carb lifestyle. It goes off the macros and what spikes your insulin, which in turn, makes you get inflammation and load on the weight. Carbs and sugars are deadly

[@TheSliceOfJess]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Imojean]

You are doing so great, been loving watching and cheering on your lifestyle progress, keep up the great work Jess 😊💙💙💙💙 Always look forward to your videos.

[@janicegagnon2294]

I love meal prepping as well, it helps me stay on track. A potato in the soup would also help thicken it up. That was a huge cook day. It reminded me to make some overnight oats soon. I will tend to make a recipe every few days and eat one or two portions and freeze the rest, it helps me split the work over the week.

[@vickyt5676]

You cooked up a storm 👏🏻

[@TheSliceOfJess]

😋😋😋

[@guspfender]

Great food inspo for the week Jess! Thanks!

[@TheSliceOfJess]

You are so welcome!

[@lisalu3994]

Batch cooking saves my sanity on the nights I just don’t have time or energy to put anything together. Plus it can help you stay on track calories wise that’s for sure.

[@teresagalvin312]

Ooh i'm so intrigued right now! ive never batch cooked not sure if I'd like to spend a whole day cooking but kinda wanna try this as I hate cooking for just myself! So maybe this my answer just to get it out of the way 🤔🤔

[@IsobelCeline]

No matter what video you post I love to watch your videos Jess 🥰

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Aw thank you!

Hi jess, made your quiche yesterday, was lovely x

If you want to transfer oats mess free, use a simple kitchen funnel 😂 this is my mum’s hack 😂 bought it in Asda for like a £1

[@Autumnbudgets]

Loved this ❤ don’t do enough batch cooking & really should for my family 🥰 everything looked lush Jess well done xx🧡

[@lindaberry4749]

Wow, that all looked amazing! thankyou, you made it look so easy! xx

I tried batch cooking once and never again! 🥴 lol it was too time consuming for me so now I just get someone else to do it 🤭😂 You did amazing with your batch cooking Jess, keep up the great content! ☺️ Love to You and Billy xo 😘

[@isabelleprice6719]

Such a great idea with the batch cooking & a great time saver :). I only have a tiny freezer unfortunately.

[@TheSliceOfJess]

It's great for busy weeks! I don't have a very big freezer either so I just make 1 weeks worth at a time

[@LeanneW895]

Love these videos! Really intrigued by the soup did you enjoy it??x

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Thank you! And yes really nice just a bit thinner in consistency than I'd usually like it x

[@patriciabrackenridge2732]

Hi Jess you should try the potato and leek soup mix from Aldi it’s only 79 p with 2 veg stock cubes in soup maker ,it’s my fav x

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Ahh I'll keep an eye out for that next time I'm there!

[@SueWard]

Nice one Jess. I did a batch lasagne, cooked the meat sauce in the slow cooker then easier to lay out in portions then freeze. Doubled up with adding pasta to slow cooker with leftovers, 40 mins on….hey presto….pasta bolognese bake 😄 mayflower one too I love to make just like you

[@skincarefan7742]

All your meals look lush. I’ll definitely give them all a try.❤

Loved watching this. You can get a sort of lid thing that sits on top of chia / porridge. (Look up jam funnel ) . Bless you and your risotto cheese chunks 😆 loved it.

[@cathbooth1980]

Hey Jess! I’m really craving risotto now! I’m always boring with my batch cooking…it’s always just chilli and spag bol 😂 Does the risotto freeze/defrost ok? I’ll have to try it. I’m looking forward to getting my slow cooker out again now it’s getting colder…I love making stew and dumplings, chicken or sausage casserole etc xx

[@TheSliceOfJess]

It’s honestly soo nice I deffo recommend it! And yeah absolutely fine as long as you make sure it’s piping hot when you reheat it!!

[@cathbooth1980]

@@TheSliceOfJess great…thank you! ☺️

[@siantowers1243]

All your meals so tasty.Can I ask what temp you cook the quiche on please.I tend to make big shepherds pies and hubby makes big fish pies to freeze.When I make the shepherds pie I always add onions tin Tom's and mushrooms,plus a courgette chopped.I then add veg with them separately.I will have a go at the soup too ,I might even try and make a risotto.Ive never tried chia seeds so might give them a go.Thank you for a great vlog.xx.

[@carolgibson2145]

Jess one medium diced potato an all soups thicken it. X

[@mrsi6422]

You should do a sweet potato crust for the quiche! Life changing I promise 😂

[@TheSliceOfJess]

Oooh that sounds amazing!! Will deffo give that a try next time!

Hi jess. Was it dairy milk you used in the chia pudding. Thanks

Hi Jess, I do love a good batch cooking video! I’m not sure if your soup containers were plastic but if they were please be careful putting hot food into plastic as they can leech nasty chemicals into your food.

Well Done Jess Amazing. Xx 😘😊

[@Hannah-jh3ix]

I’m always worried about 1. How long the stuff can keep in the fridge and 2. How to safely reheat

[@TheSliceOfJess]

usually around 3-4 days in the fridge and reheat until it's piping hot!

That's alot of meals welldone hun 😛😛

Where do we get the white chocolate drops from, and do chia seeds have a sw syn value?

I got mine from MyProtein, and I think the chia seeds do have a syn value but you'd have to check the app for how many

[@deniseallport1290]

Thanks Jess.x

Unfortunately you didn't use a thickener for the soup, hence why it was so thin x

Hi Jess ,you should put some of those meals in the freezer cos they will only last 3 to 4 days fresh 😊👍 xx

Hey! I have done, but I usually keep them in the fridge until I decide what I'm eating when so I don't accidentally freeze something when I wanted to eat it! xx
