Freezer Meals?

Are you planning to make meals ahead of time and freeze them for easy dinner planning when the baby first arrives? If so, what are you making?

I am making mac and cheese, manicotti, and tator tot casserole (yes the ultimate white trash food!). I also bought a bunch of meat (steaks, pork chops, chicken legs and thighs) and have frozen them in single meal portions for the hubby and I. Lastly, I'm making a batch of breakfast burritos for my husband's lunch's since I usually make his lunch and he is likely going to have to fend for himself for awhile.

  • I just hosted a freezer meal party last Sunday. We made 20 different meals for $150, with left over spices to make everything again. It was an investment, but I absolutely hate cooking- mainly because I don't like the way anything ends of tasting. We h

  • I just made 13 this weekend.  I found a bunch of recipes on Pinterest, and because of our tiny freezer, I decided to do all crock pot recipes that fit into Ziploc freezer bags.  My freezer is PACKED now and I wanted to make a bunch of NON-crockp

  • I made chicken casserole and banana nut bread today for a freezer meal. Plan on making chicken pot pie too. I'd love that tator tot recipe.
