Best meals to freeze for when new baby is here

I've had a bit of a search through old threads but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm expecting DC2 in a few weeks (well, could be any time really) and remembering how difficult life was with DC1 who never slept, I want to stock the freezer with lots of yummy meals that we basically just need to heat and eat. I have a slow cooker, but will try any type of cooking really. We don't eat a lot of meat but meals with mince, chicken or fish would be fine. Other than that we eat just about everything (ie all veggies etc), we are not fussy eaters.

Do you have any good ideas and/or links to recipes for me? I mostly make non-freezer type stuff so I don't have my own tried and true go-to recipes, hence my asking here.

Bonus points for things I can eat with one hand while juggling/feeding a newborn Smile

Thanks all!

lolalotta - yes, I use a food processor to do a big batch of butter and flour (mix in some oats too). Then I add demerara sugar, divide into portion size bags, label 7 date, (don't forget to do that! Otherwise you will be scratching your head as to what it is!) and freeze.

Can do the same for scone mix. Then all you do is take out mix with some milk or buttermilk and tadah! you have a batch of fresh scones!
Very impressive if you have visitors! [hsmile]
