I don’t think there’s much more appealing, when it comes to cooking, than easy, tasty and healthy dishes. My original blog – Endorphin Stew – was influenced hugely by the fact that I love making stews and casseroles. When it comes to meal prep – extending beyond the standard chicken, veg and rice makes the week ahead a bit more exciting. I love how the flavours always mix together as the vegetables sweat under heat and how the tastes become even deeper when you store casseroles overnight in the fridge. I really enjoyed this one. Please let me know what you think!
