I'm really planning ahead here - we're not intending to go until Feb half-term...but being Ms Organised with 2 hungry teenagers, I want to plan ahead for a self catering ski holiday so that I'm not chained to the (v. small) apartment kitchen.
We'll be driving to the French Alps (not booked yet, but thinking of Belle Plagne).
There's likely to be hotplates and a microwave/grill but no proper oven in the place we're thinking of.
I've known of people who've done it and taken M&S vacuum packed ready meals with them, so that's an option.
We will have a couple of meals out, but I'm conscious of how expensive the exchange rate makes it now.
I was thinking of making a casserole and freezing it for the first night in resort- we'll drive down on Friday and book an hotel near the resort for that night, so the casserole would be for Saturday night.
And of course we'll stock up on wine and chocolate healthy food and drink in a hypermarket en route.
Are there ready meals anyone has bought in France that you'd recommend looking out for?
And any other tips we can share?
