NWMR Freezer Meals

I belong to this committee in my town that cooks meals for a week for families that have new borns. 2 women just gave birth and I want to sign up to make them something. One has a 3 year old, the other this is their first child. I was thinking I should do something that freezes well in case they dont want or need it that specific night. My initial thought was lasagna but then I figured maybe everyone would do that. What are some other good options? My list right now is Lasagna and Minestrone soup with turkey meatballs ha.

I always make quiche or breakfast burritos. No one ever brings breakfast items, and personally, I was always ravenous in the mornings after the overnight BF'ing.

For freezability, I love taco meats. You could package with a jar of salsa, laughing cow queso cheeses, a bag of chips, tortillas and a side of refried beans (also freezable). My favorite right now is a chipotle turkey taco meat in the crock pot. I double or triple it and we then have enough for 4-6 weeks to have it once a week. I would have loved it if someone would have brought a full recipe packaged as individual freezable meals if we didn't want it right then, or so we would have a frozen meal in a few weeks!

I think that is such an awesome thing for your community to do! I prefer freezing meals raw so they don't taste like leftovers. There are lots of chicken recipes on pinterest that can go in the crock pot and then be served with steamed rice and veggies. One of my favorites is equal parts soy sauce and honey with a little brown sugar, ginger, and garlic.
