    Who did freezer meals before LO #2? I did!

    Did you use any websites/sources? No, I just did meals that I had already been making on a regular basis.

    What meals tasted the best? I made my chicken, stuffing and broccoli casserole. I also made my turkey meatloaf (I mixed it with eggs and seasonings then froze it raw, all I had to do was throw it in the oven). Another was pork, I seasoned it (with parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, eggs, and flour) then froze that raw too, so I only had to cook it but not prepare it. Doing those things saved a TON of time and I'm actually going to keep doing it.   

    How long before your EDD to did you start freezing meals? I started making them about 2 weeks before I had my DS but 7 weeks before my EDD (he came 5 weeks early). The chicken, stuffing, and broccoli casserole I actually made the morning before he was born (I had no idea I was going to have him that day).

    I can share recipes if you want...

    I just started last week.  I made 6 meals last Wednesday.  It was relatively easy.  I cranked them out in about 2.5 hours with an extra 40 mins or so to cook that night's dinner.

    I plan on making 6 meals every Wednesday until I deliver.  However, 1 of each of those meals will be dinner that night.  I will also be doing twice what I normally do in terms of breakfast prep in order to build up my freezer stash of healthy muffins. 

    I started 8ish weeks before my EDD, so I am hoping to have at least 30 or so meals in the freezer.

    We also scored a good deal for Omaha Steaks on Groupon.  We have about 20 meals in the freezer from that.  

    Here is my Pinterest board where I have been compiling recipes.  

     

    ETA:  I made the Chili Cornbread Bake for our dinner last week.  It was enough for dinner that night for DH and I plus lunch for a couple of days.  DS liked it as well.  

    I also made BBQ Chicken and Chicken curry crockpot meals through one of the pins.
