One of the best ideas that I ever did was make freezer meals before Mia came. I made 17 frozen meals, as well as a few dry ingredient meals that were easy to dump and go. After the C-section it took awhile before I could move around easily. I also had a baby that seemed to need me constantly for feeding or changing. There was no way that I was going to be able to cook a meal without burning it. Not only did the freezer help me be able to cook dinner, it also made it easy for my husband. We were able to have home cooked meals with little fuss. (Side Note: Rings Slings are incredibly handy when you need to finish wrapping and bagging meals. The sleepy dust is strong with this ring sling! I also made my own ring sling, check back later and I will share how I made my own.) We just had our last freezer meal last night. So today I am prepping for the next batch of meals as I get closer to returning to work (less than a week left, I know but don't remind me). Don't let the sound of freezer meals and crock pot meals scare you. It doesn't mean you are limited to soups and pasta. There are so many other types of meals out there. After a little research and Pinterest it was easy to come up with options. The recipes are guidelines and you can always adjust them to fit your family's dietary needs. I am going to share with you a few of our favorite meals, along with my shopping list.
