If you had a new baby and were home and someone were to stock your freezer with meals, what would you like?

Re: ??

  • lasagna, baked ziti, soups, stews, something I can throw in the oven quickly or throw in a pot.
  • banquet fried chicken with corn and mashed potatoes, chicken pot pies, and toaster streudels. YUM OH.

    homemade? chili, stews, and soups. no beans, and no pasta in the soup. also, pasta sauce (i can boil my own pasta fresh).

  • Enchiladas.

    Homemade macaroni and cheese.

  • What TT said.  I'd also like side dishes- like the rice packages and frozen veg.  I'd also like one fresh salad.

    I had a bunch of proteins stocked, but didn't have sides and veggies.

  • I'm just trying to help out SIL/BIL.  This is their second, so I'm thinking 3 y.o. niece will be very time consuming along with new baby.

  • what they said plus a couple of bags of pre-made salad.
  • i LOVE the frozen steam-fresh veggie bags. a bunch of those could go a long way. we go through 2 or 3 a week, because it's so much faster than prepping fresh veggies during the workweek.
  • Thanks ladies.  Looks like I'll be making:

    Lasagna, Mac & Cheese, some frozen steam-fresh veggies and maybe something else...not sure what yet.

    How can you forget DESSERT! Wink

  • I just don't know what to do for dessert.  I could make cookies and freeze.

  • Cookies is a good idea especially with a 3 year old. You could do sorbets, icecream, pecan pie...

    .
  • These cookies are easy to make and keep well frozen:

     

    Part 1:

    2 c crushed graham crackers

    1 stick of butter + 1 Tbsp.

    2 Tbsp. brown sugar

    Melt butter and brown sugar in microwave then add graham crackers and mix well. 

    Press into 9X12 pan

    Bake at 350 for 10 min and let cool

     Part 2:

    1 can sweetened condensed milk

    1 tsp. vanilla

    Add coconut until thick

    Add to top of prepared crust

    Broil until brown

    Cool before moving to step 3

    Step 3:

    1/2 c. butterscotch chips

    1/2 c. chocolate chips

    1/2 stick butter + 1 tsp. 

    6 tbsp peanut butter

    Put them all in a microwaveable bowl 

    Microwave until partially melted, stir, microwave until fully melted.

    Pour mixture over top of coconut, chill, cut into squares, layer with wax paper, freeze.
