I’m 36 weeks pregnant and have read the advice to stock the freezer with easy meals for when baby is here.

I’ll be making a lentil cottage pie and some soups, maybe a chilli. I’m just wondering if anyone had any other ideas for vegetarian recipes that lend themselves well to batch cooking freezing?

I’ve asked for vegetarian as that’s how we eat most of the time, but we do eat fish occasionally too so if there are any great freezable fish recipes out there please do share?

MrsMcCarthy thank you, I like the look of crusty cheddar pies! Mmm.

We love this double bean chilli in our house though DD confessed she'd never seen me cook it (until recently) as it just magically appears from the freezer Hmm

This dhal is good too.

Cheesy Pasta bake with cauli and broccoli, veggie stew and dumplings, cheese & onion pie, spaghetti bolognese, any other kind of pasta bakes etc freeze well

I got a book by a lovely lady who happens to be a YouTuber. She specialises in batch cooking and shes got a section in her playlists for veggies:

Thanks for the ideas - noting them all down! Nice to have some alternatives to our usual. Thanks for links too.

Plan is to start making double portions of these for our meals for the next few weeks, we get some nice dinners then I’ll freeze the extra! Just need to make room in my freezer from all the ice creams and ice lollies I’ve been craving lately!!

Lasagna - use lentils as the protein element.
