Emergency Xmas meal ideas...

[joeyjo]

So we are supposed to drive to our families on Xmas eve afternoon but are predicted more snow tonight & Thursday. I'm hoping to still go but would like ideas for an easy Xmas meal for 3 (2 adults & a greedy toddler) that can go in the freezer if I don't make it

I have a joint of beef but don't really want to buy loads of veg that will hopefully not get used for over a week - so I need freezeable side dishes if poss.

errrm a hotpot or stew?

How about bags of frozen veg? At least you know it's not going to go off.

yeah just get frozen veg i never buy anything else cus we dont have the room to store it (but we have2freezers) its already prepared and just chuck it in the steamer!

 

[joeyjo]

Lol - never even thought of frozen veg I never usually get it except peas. We only have a tesco metro or m&s in town so I'll have to see what they have.

we are having xmas dinner at home. i bought the meat a while ago and at the weekend we bought frozen veg at least that way, if we cant get out to get fresh, we can still have our xmas dinner x
