So I’m working on putting 21+ meals in the freezer for after the baby is born. I figured three weeks worth of pre-prepared dinners will come in handy. And we have the freezer space to work with too.
This post is going to be kind of a running tally of this project. I’ll post my 21 meal ideas as I think of them and cross them off or something as I actually get them into the freezer. For each dinner I try to have a protein and 2 vegetables (or maybe a fruit) or 1 vegetable and a starch (potato, rice or pasta). Most of my casseroles have at least 2 vegetables in them so some dinners will be as easy as one-dish!
Any great freezer recipes anyone can offer, will be appreciated!
1. Meatloaf (served with broccoli from freezer and canned pears)
2. Spanish rice, re-fried beans, corn & meat burritos
3 & 4. Two dinners worth of enchiladas (with black beans & corn)
5. Kielbasa (from freezer), canned sauerkraut, canned red cabbage and applesauce (from jar)
6 & 7. Two dinners worth of Spaghetti and meatballs (with sauce) (pasta freezes pretty well)
8 & 9. Chili (Jiffy boxed corn bread)
10 & 11. Vegetable Beef Soup (Dave really likes this and it is really healthy!)
Okay, that’s all I can work on for right now. Like I said, this will be a “working post”.
