Save this for a Sunday...

I love bulk cooking to prepare myself for the week ahead.

I tend to roast lots of veg and cook some kind of ‘carb’; this week it was butternut squash, beetroot, cauliflower and a batch of quinoa.

 This week, it came to Wednesday and finishing late, I just didn’t want to think about dinner, or spend any time cooking. But look what happened… I had all the ingredients for this delicious, warming, satisfying and wholesome plate of food!

 Once prepped, the rest of the veg can be piled into lunch boxes, added to stock for a soup, added to a salad, turned into a frittata or muffins for breakfast.

**Shopping list: 2 Squash, 5 beetroot, 1 cauliflower, 1pk quinoa, 1 green pepper, 1 pk mint, 1pk feta

Note: I try and include a variety of colours in my roasting trays, as this gives me a greater variety of antioxidants to munch on.
