A mum batch cooks SIX WEEKS worth of meals in just four hours - so she can spend more time with her family and focus on herself. <br /><br />Amy Jones, 40, felt like she "lived in the kitchen" cooking meals from scratch everyday for her husband Richard, 38, and their two children - Leo, nine, and Sebastien, eight.<br /><br />She didn't feel like she had time to "breathe or hang out with her kids" and "resented" cooking.<br /><br />But now, Amy spends just four hours preparing six weeks' worth of dinners for her family-of-four - and says it leaves her with "more free time than ever". <br /><br />The savvy mum never prepares fewer than four meals at a time - and typically has 40 servings on the go in her pint-sized 85cm by 58cm under-counter freezer, all in reusable plastic bags. <br /><br />Amy says it saves her 50 minutes a day - by only having to microwave and reheat dishes. <br /><br />She says that stockpiling food is the best way to ensure "a meal is always at hand" - and has clapped back at trolls who brand her habits as "disgusting".
