freezer meals for after baby comes home?

I need some inspiration! I want to make some meals to have in the freezer but am having trouble coming up with anything.

Since I'm due June 15 they need to be meals we will actually want to eat in summer, lots of my casserole recipes will probably be too heavy. So far all I have is Mexican lasagna and good ol'mac and cheese

Thankfully DH loves to grill but since this is baby number 3, I know from experience that it's good to have a few things prepared! The help does dwindle after the first couple weeks!

  • Most soups freeze really well.  A lot of freezer meals are heavier though.  :)

  • Crock pot salsa chicken!  I add black beans, shred.  It freezes great and then I defrost it and put it into a tortilla with some cheese to make quick quesadillas on the stove top.  Or you combine it with cheese and/or rice and roll it in

  • What we're doing it making sure we have meat to grill in the freezer and will stock up on side dishes closer when baby gets here.  We are very much grill people so we know we wont be eating heavy casseroles or soups in June.

  • spaghetti - freeze the pasta and sauce mixed together.

    chilli -there are so many different kinds you can make. I love this because you can it eat it alone, over rice or even in a bun (sloppy joe style). It thaws well too.
