    @upandbelow great tip on bags vs containers! @btm013 my hubs and I love stuffed peppers! Great idea! I was wanting to try crockpot BBQ ribs (on sale at a local store now) and I saw a recipe for a chicken mango cilantro rice thing that sounded delicious!

    My neighborhood does it. I think they do groups of 8, so you make 8 of your item and get 8 new items. They also send in the recipes to hand out, so if you like a meal you can make it yourself.

    @laurendutch I love the idea of including the recipe! I have read a few blogs about them but none have mentioned that!

    I just made a few freezer meals in bags, and they were great for saving space but a few froze together. They weren't 'wet', although I did wipe them down with sanitizing wipes, so perhaps that did it.

    Anyways, I think next time I'll stick paper towel or a cloth between the bags for a few hours before removing them.

    Happy cooking! :)

    @mccall35 I am really loving the idea of marinated meats-that's totally something I can do on my own too! Love it! @MurLindzz that's a good point on bags sticking together! Thanks for the heads up

    I'm making some pumpkin muffins right now to freeze for post delivery. They are super tasty. I also plan to make breakfast sandwiches and get some crockpot meals together as well over the next week. The muffins should freeze well and will be good for an on the go snack when taking the lo on morning walks.

    I have seen some recipes for breakfast burritos too! Definitely breakfast items are a must! I might try my hand at oatmeal muffins...plus, oatmeal is good for breast feeding right?

    Already started making these. Due in a couple weeks. But our freezer meals consist of Portuguese food. Can't have enough bacalhau!

    Oatmeal Muffins

    In case anyone is curious, here is the link to those oatmeal muffins I mentioned earlier! I have made them before and was pretty pleased with the outcome! Plus, you can do so many different toppings it's great!

    I do a ton of freezer meals and I'm also a Pampered Chef consultant so have had many freezer meal parties! I'm going to be making a couple different menus before the baby comes!

    Ugh this is one of the few remaining things I am behind on, partly because DH doesn't get it. He thinks we will just buy takeout every day with leftover potential.
