Freezer Exploration

So as most new mothers hopefully prepare for motherhood, one of those items of preparation needs to be food. 

So you have just had baby. You and hubs are up all night doing the thing and are beat down. But you're starving. Who has energy to cook? 

So I have researched Pinterest until I'm blue in the face looking for freezer meals that I can make to be better prepared. Thankfully the hubs likes to cook, as do I, but lets be realistic here...there will be days...

So this is what I'm starting with 7 days of meals which each make enough food for 6-8 people. Since there are only 3 of us eating, due to the new babe breast feeding each meal will last us at least 2 sittings. So 14 meals appx? Sounds good to me...

The meals I gave chosen are- lasagna, goulash, chicken and wild rice casserole, Mexican enchilada casserole, BBQ chicken, quasidilla layered casserole, and Italian chicken. 

I gathered the recipes, spent a bit of time at the grocery store and got to cooking as soon as I got home. The whole process prob lasted about 5 hours, but I think it would be totally worth it in the end. 

Everyday I have tried to do something to prepare for my new adventure :) all of you moms out there, if you have any tips, I'm just flying by the seat of my pants...

Peace and Love
