22-6-2009 - Food Ideas/Suggestions

My mood while writing this blog:
Gooood

Even though I’m 17 weeks away from my due date, hopefully more along 13-15 weeks since I’m EXTREMELY active this pregnancy (no time to rest for the weary with a toddler in the house), I’ve begun compiling a list of foods I can make ahead of time, freeze and easily throw in the oven to cook while on maternity leave. One lesson I learned the first time around, when you’re sleep deprived, overwhelmed but still hungry neither you or your husband have the energy to cook, you end up eating a lot of “crap” and I refuse to do that again. I’ve come up with a short list but was hoping for suggestions from other moms or really good cooks for more ideas/recipes.

Here’s my list thus far, as you can see it’s short and I’d like to have two weeks (14 days) worth of meals in the freezer:
Meatloaf
Chicken
Pot Pie (Amish style)
Lasagna
Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

THANKS in advance for your help!

Im doing the same and getting some good home cooked meals in the freezer. I plan to make some chunky soups and noodels as they are very filling and quick to re heat. along with steak and chicken pies and lasagne. Let me know what other suggestions you come up with as my list is short too!!!!

I normally have spagetti bolognase, chilli, fresh filled pasta (which can be frozen) and a jar of sauce in the cupboard.
Tomato based soups are also a good one to freeze.
I hope this helps. What a great idea also! I think I will be doing the same when I get closer to the time. Good luck. xxx

Often times my husband and I will make tuna salad and leave out the mayo until we go to grab a bowl and then add the mayo to our own individual bowl and that keeps your tuna salad lasting longer in the fridge, like I think up to 5 days or so. It's something that we like to just grab and eat for lunch or even as a snack sometimes!
