Are you preparing any post partum freezer meals in advance?

Question

I'm planning to and already coming up with a brainstorming list of meals to do, just wondering how many others plan to do the same! My husband can't cook and hates to anyway so if I don't feel like it with my newborn and we don't have freezer meals we'll end up eating fast food and I'd rather not do that everyday lol. Not only would that be really unhealthy, but expensive. Some of my ideas to freeze: lasagna, chicken enchiladas, and tatertot casserole.

Answer

You can prep crockpot meals that aren't cooked, but, freeze and ready to dump in a crockpot. ..... shredded BBQ chicken, roast, soups and chili freeze great. Simple burritos freeze well (tortilla, rice, black beans, chicken, cheese..... wrap in Saran Wrap and then aluminum foil and just throw them in the freezer. Quiche freezes well and is yummy at dinner. Rice based casseroles, spaghetti sauces that way you only have to cook some noodles

Answer

We are planning on it! I have food allergies so really can't let other people cook for me, even though that is one of the sweetest gestures! We are planning on doing a lasagna, chicken and rice bowls, teriyaki chicken with quinoa, and an egg based casserole for quick and easy breakfast with protein. That'll probably only get us through the first week or two but hey, it's better than nothing 😆

Answer

I didn't, & I honestly didn't find pp meals to be that much of an issue. My parents brought a meal the night we brought baby home from the hospital (got discharged at 9pm so no time really), but otherwise we either cooked like normal or picked up healthy takeout.

Answer

I thought about it but haven't felt the urge. Luckily my husband can cook & I'm assuming my mom will probably bring food over. I'm 2 days overdue & we just bought a new house a month ago, so my focus is getting the house looking half way decent for when visitors come over lol

Answer

I'll make some freezer meals before baby arrives. Luckily my husband is also a great cook, and my parents will be here for two weeks to visit, so my mom will help and stock my freezer too. Yay! I found it so helpful with my first. Especially since I was nursing and I was hungry all the time. I mean all. The. Time. I never felt full. Having lots of food in the house was a priority and a blessing.

Answer

You can also set up a meal train online. A family member of friend brings over or orders delivery one meal a day for a certain amount of time. They have websites that do all the scheduling and stuff.

Answer

I'm planning on it. Im going for a planned c section and my sister will be staying for 2 weeks with us. Her and my husband can't cook.  God bless them they try but I really need good meals prepared for my kids lol

Answer

I think it's a great idea! I plan to with this one. I had planned to do it with my first but between working full time and sleeping lol, I didn't ever get around to it.
