DISCLAIMER: I'm due exactly one month from today and while I have tried to not let this blog become too pregnancy/baby-centric, I have a feeling that is going to go out the window this last month. So if you hate babies or pregnant women or pregnant women talking about babies, you should probably just stop reading for a while. You now have fair warning.
So, as baby Lukas' arrival gets closer, I'm feeling more pressure to get everything done. The nursery still needs work. The house seems dirty all the time. The office has stacks of books just waiting to be put away. The fridge needs to be cleaned. The baby clothes need to be washed. You see? I think this is what they call "nesting."
In an effort to add more to my plate, I've decided that I want to cook a bunch of meals to freeze so that we have food ready to eat once the baby gets here. The problem is, I don't know what to cook. Anyone have any good recipe ideas for easily freeze-able meals?
I've done some research online and some suggestions have been chili, soups, pasta dishes, enchiladas, taco meat, etc. But I'd love to hear from people who have gone the freezer route before and found some successful recipes. Anyone?
Lasagna! It freezes beautifully. Also...you need a meal calendar. If no one is putting one together for you already, let me know and I'll take charge of that. I didn't cook for the first month after Eli was born because of all the friends we had who brought meals by. It was a lifesaver!!
ReplyDeletePoppy seed chicken, chicken tetrazzini, and taco soup are some good ones!
ReplyDeleteZiti, meatloaf and those great pesto-turkey burgers! Those are all things I made! I also made some enchiladas and chili! Lauren
