But the one thing that I am trying to minimise in my life is menial decisions that take away my energy. The decision on what to eat each night is one of those. Now, generally, I try to make a couple of bulk meals a week (there is only my child and I in the house), so we have a variety available for nights when I don't feel like cooking. The great thing about this is that I can do a big pot of bolognaise, and it will last us for weeks of meals if we freez...
