Prepping food for after baby?

Question

I’m 35 weeks pregnant. I want to buy food and start prepping for when baby is born. I have a toddler and my boyfriend works two jobs so I’m looking for quick and easy ideas for food. Any quick meals y’all suggest ? And healthier snacks that’ll be good for me & help w breastfeeding ? I don’t want to just eat junk 24/7.

Answer

I did this with my first, i made breakfast burritos, made and froze a lasagne, enchiladas, and made a pot of spaghetti sauce to freeze. I really didn’t need the meals like i thought i would. We made sure that the house was stocked with groceries (i had a scheduled section due to breech presentation) and my husband and mom enjoyed cooking for me the first week and after that i got back to cooking! I snacked on grapes, apples, raw veggies with ranch or hummus, and i drank smoothies with flax and chia seeds sometimes.

Answer

Buy yourself an instapot. They are the best things ever! A typical meal that would take 30-45 to prepare is done within 10-15 in an instapot.

Answer

If you go to skinnytaste.com, they have a ton of recipes to make-ahead and freeze, and a lot of variety for crock pot meals. Everything I've made from their website has been really good, and they have the added benefit of being on the healthier side.
