Frozen meals for a new mom?
I know this has probably been asked, but I haven't seen a post when I searched for it...
A CW is going to be a new mom soon, and I'd like to prepare some frozen meals. Their tastes are very basic- nothing fancy, nothing out of the ordinary. Her and her husband both enjoy Italian food, Mexican food, and are the "meat & potatoes" kind of family.
If you can recommend some meals, that'd be great. I am pretty busy for the next 6 weekends, so bonus points if I can throw them together easily.
Even more bonus points if you can include a link 
Re: Frozen meals for a new mom?
Pulled pork made in the crockpot is easy and something different. Just throw in some rolls, a bag of chips and some coleslaw.
Here is my freezer friendly tab for more ideas: http://stickafork.net/category/freezer-friendly/
So Tasty, So Yummy
Soups and Chili are always great for a freezer meal.

Baked Pasta with Chicken and Sausage

Lasagna Rolls (great because they are single portion)

Meatloaf-freeze as mini muffins for individual servings
I've made both of these for new moms and they were well received:
Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
Chicken Enchilada Bake
I think quiche would be great too, here are 2 lighter versions: Vegetable Quiche or Goat Cheese Mushroom and Pancetta Quiche
Thanks so much for your ideas- incredibly helpful.
Joelen- I remember your freezer post when you had Joel. Thanks for reminding me.
