*Not AIBU but wanted the traffic* Healthy, homemade freezer meals you can bung in the oven

[sirlee66]

Hi everyone! Apologies for posting on AIBU! Really need the traffic because preggers hormones are making me anxious and if I don't sort out these freezer meals soon I feel like I'm going to crumble into a giant mess!!!

DS1 isn't due until April but I keep reading that you should want to fill your freezer with a load of portioned freezer meals because you won't want to cook.

I know what I'm like and if I don't sort something out.. it will be take aways and ready meals pretty much every night leaving me feeling shit and, as we are on a budget, it's not something we can afford unless it's a real special treat.

Trying to think of dinners and lunches that I can make, freeze in those individual aluminium trays (like from the takeaway) then, when needed, bung straight into the oven.

Also fairly healthy... like SW friendly stuff as I'm planning on breast feeding. (Don't actually follow SW but I know they're food is lower % mince and hidden veggies etc)

I can think of:

Shepard's pie
Bolognese (boil pasta on the day)

And now my mind's gone blank!!!!
Any help/suggestions would be hugely appreciated! TY!

• chilli con carne

- shepherds pie - curry (chicken korma, lentil dhal etc) - pasta sauces -

I made a lovely chickpea curry the last cook off.

1 onion
1 small courgette
1 Carrot

All grated and browned in the saucepan (we have a big copper bottomed pan for this)

Add 1 jar of lentil
2 jars of chickpeas
1 big tin, or 2 small of extra creamy coconut milk

Add a good curry spice.

Let it simmer for 15 mins so all the flavours blend together.

We portion and freeze. It is so good.

Oh and add a big tin of chopped tomatoes.
