Freezer Meals

maybe this already has a thread. I didn't find one. Sorry if there is!

But has anyone else been making and collecting freezer meals for when little one arrives? I didn't ask for anyone to help make anything because we eat so picky (modified paleo and 100% gluten free.. With limited dairy) that it definitely wasn't fair haha.

I decided to make another exhausting effort and make a bunch of yummy stuff today. So far the freezer meal list looks like (with varying amounts of each)

-Homemade Chicken Soup
-Homemade Meat Spaghetti Sauce
-Paleo Beanless Chili
-Gluten Free Lasagna
-Sausage Sweet Potato Casserole
-Beef/Bacon/cauliflower/sweet potato casserole
-Beef tips & Gravy

And then on Wednesday or Friday I'll add the final addition.. Which is a Paleo Chicken Frittata that looks DELICIOUS

Plus I've been gradually collecting frozen gluten free pre made meals from the grocery store ... Got at least a dozen of those. Plan on using those mostly for my lunches since my husband is the one who is the strictest as far as Paleo goes.

So... Do share you're creations!

    I have been cooking and freezing meals. I was planning on getting a few more done but just found out I have to be induced Thursday so I had 3 weeks taken away from me!! Regardless I have about a weeks worth of dinners done and becuase I have a couple days before my induction I am going to do a last minute shopping trip tomorrow for the pre-made freezer meals, lunch meats and things like that. My brother lives with us also so I have to make sure he has food while I'm in the hospital.

    I have made freezer meals and would like to do more but our small freezer is so full I don't think I can fit anything else! I have a couple casseroles made and I've been freezing various meats and homemade sauces that can be thrown in the crockpot :)

    In my freezer, all homemade: chicken veggie soup, turkey veggie soup, beet and cauliflower soup, shredded BBQ pork, spinach pies, moussaka. Still want to add veggie turkey chili if I have time.

    I made chile verde , albondigas , and chicken soup.
    I did put in a special request to a couple friends so I don't have to cook too much.
    Meatballs sound like a good idea! I'm gonna make some tomorrow :)@sugargrenade

    Oooh can you send a portion of albondigas across the Atlantic @Christina80xoxo ☺️ we've just got a giant container of chilli con carne, more takeaway menus than we know what to do with, and I'm planning on similar to PP, freezing prep pieces to throw into the slow cooker or pan to make something quick!

    @secretbaba , I grew up with 8 brothers and sisters, but there's only two of us in the house now... So I have to freeze a lot because I only know how to cook for an army lol
    I wish I could send them your way!

    Do you know how to make it? I don't mind inboxing you how. It's not hard at all :)

    I made a bunch last month! This is what I've got in our freezer:
    Chicken enchiladas, lasagna, beef fajitas, about 6 lbs of browned hamburger for tacos or spaghetti etc, 3 shredded rotisserie chickens separated into bags for casseroles etc, a ton of breakfast burritos, chocolate chip pancakes and regular pancakes, large meatballs I use for bbq meatballs, and small meatballs I use for meatball subs or spaghetti. :)

    I hope this is easy to follow
    It's not traditional, but it's one of my quick after work versions
    Hope it's easy to follow :/

    If you like it with more broth I like to add more water and tomato sauce. Just keep tasting the soup and add garlic salt as needed. I wish I could show you guys , it's easier that way! But you'll figure it out. It's really easy :)

    Me and my partner are also paleo and gluten free... you have inspired me with your options, I've been stumped for good freezer meals.... 3 weeks away now. Where'd you get your gluten free lasagna recipe?

    @kalahgurl well I went looking for the recipe and I don't know what happened to it! It was on my Pinterest board ... Hmm. But!!! What I do know is it was actually a regular freezer meal (like one of those once a month prep and freeze meal recipes) that I googled and I just subbed out gluten free lasagna noodles. I personally have never tried it so I hope it turns out good. Just make sure the noodles are the ones that are "ready to bake" and not ones you have to do prep work to before hand.

    Day 1 I made two of each of these-goulash, creamy farmhouse chicken and veggie soup and healthy mama BBQ chicken. Day 2 I made Hawaiian chicken, maple Dijon chicken, creamy Italian chicken, peanut chicken with veggies, coconut curry chicken and honey rosemary chicken. They are all slow cooker meals so I just defrost the night before and then dump it in the slow cooker in the morning. Don't know how amazing they'll be but with all the chaos right now they'll be easy!
