Meal Prep madness

SO won't let me peep meals, he is insistent that he will do all the cooking. This is driving me absolutely insane. Maybe I'm just freaking out because I can't prep like I want to. Is anyone else going threw this? How are you handling it? I just envision eating pizza, burgers and Chinese food for ever.

We are not meal prepping and I never have. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby. My husband loves to cook, so even though I know we will be getting take out a lot I know my husband will cook meals as much as he can. Try to talk to him and compromise. Just tell him you would like to do some meals so on days that he doesn't feel up to cook or go out there's something already in the freezer.

I'm super type A and have meal prepped like crazy, mostly because there are still so many unknowns once he/she arrives, so if I can be quasi prepared with dinner to reduce the chaos and exhaustion, I'm all for it!

We've got in the freezer: cheeseburger soup, chicken tetrazinni, lasagna, messy lasagna, sloppy joes, pizza supreme casserole, mostaccioli and meatloaf. I've got the stuff to thrown in the crockpot for potato soup, Italian chicken and chicken noodles n dumplins.

My husband knows his way around the kitchen well and loves to cook. So maybe we'll save some of these meals for when he returns to work to help make that transition easier for him.
