Hi. Our baby is due in a few weeks and we’re going to batch cook and freeze some
meals and snacks in readiness for the first few weeks. I’m starting to make a list of meals and there are a few we have regularly that will work well - e.g. curries and chillies. We eat a mostly veggie diet (say 90%) and occasionally have fish, so open to any veggie or pescatarian suggestions.
We have a new, 50/50 fridge freezer and the freezer section is currently empty - it’s a pretty standard size and we don’t have a bigger freezer (e.g. in the garage, as we don’t have a garage).
I’m interested in getting more ideas from others, and I’m especially interested hearing what your absolute best and snacks meals were if you did this. Could be something really convenient, could be easy to prep or reheat, could just be something really delicious and that you really appreciated in those first few weeks! Also, any advice on how you packaged things - I’ve read about freezer-safe labelling, and am going to have to get my hands on some more Tupperware.
We will be trying to be fairly healthy and keep our energy up (and no doubt just trying to survive!). I feel that snacks are where I could fall into being unhealthy more easily - I did ask ChatGPT and one suggestion was cheese muffins!
Thanks very much in advance for any advice and suggestions.
