I know this has been posted before-Freezing meals for when baby comes
Since DH and I are pretty much alone after Miss Bean, I figured I should start freezing things soon.
I am due March 7th-when should I start doing this? I don't want things to be gross!
Also, what are some ideas of things that freeze well? Recipes would be great. I hate fish but everything else is okay. I have a crock pot as well as regular cookware.
TIA!

you can usually freeze anything start cooking after new years it will hold up just fine...try things like hearty soups, sauce, potroast, baked ziti anything with a sauce or gravy usually works well

I started about a month before I was due. The nesting instinct was in full force, so it made it easy. Anything in broth or with sauce/gravy typically freezes well. I made Lasagna, Ropa Vieja, two kinds of Soup, Turkey Chilli and Roast beef with gravy. I went a bit overboard but didn't have to cook for like two months and had a huge variety to choose from.

I cooked 3 weeks before and as the pp said it is a lifesaver. I made sauce with meatballs, eggplant parm, sausage and peppers, soup, and chilli from a crockpot recipe i found. I also bought a few packages of chicken cutlets and had them in the freezer. Chicken cutlets is always something quick and easy to make when the baby comes

2 kinds of chili
Meatballs and sauce
Italian wedding soup
