May, you can do it! You can even just double things you already cook now and freeze them. That way your eating your own food and as easy as possible. Xo

@mrsfigs omg!! That all sounds wonderful! Me and SO have been discussing what to do for meals, once baby is here (I'll probably be healing from a c section) and we don't know the first thing about meal prepping/planming!

I've been doing tons of crockpot freezer meals lately. They are easy to put together and even easier to cook. Look them up. This weekend I made a ton for post baby and for during the week. I feel u I'm wayyyy too tired! I made the following:

2 batches of cilantro lime chicken with black beans and corn

2 batches of balsamic glazed chicken

2 meatball vegetable soup

1 of chili

1 pot roast seasoned and with onions and carrots

* all of these get dumped into the crockpot before work and are done when we get home. The only one that required any cooking in advance was the meatballs I baked 3 meals worth of mini meatballs the day before.

I also have in trays:

1 tray of stuffed shells w crumbled sausage

1 ravioli lasagna

1 red potatoes, chicken, broccoli, bacon, and cheese (precooked the bacon)

Tonight we had homemade white chicken enchilada sauce over brown rice with veggies.

YouTube or Pinterest I used "she's in her apron." Super easy!

We had lasagna stuffed chicken tonight with loaded potatoes and a fruit salad. It was so yummy.

Enchilada lasagna! Basically everything that goes in enchiladas, but layered between flat tortillas in a casserole pan. Freezes great for post-baby.

Brown ground beef first with taco seasoning,

Caramelize onions,

Add Green chilis,

Add Mexican cheese blend

Add Enchilada sauce (we buy canned..we're lazy)

Layer it all up however many times.

Finish with more sauce and cheese on top.

Bake until melted and gooey (the beef and onions should be cooked separately first). 375 for ~20 minutes? I can't remember. Husband threw it in the oven. Served it with a ton of sour cream. Yummy!

Stuffed shells (mostly so I could freeze half the batch for post baby or in a few weeks when I don't want to cook!)

Hubby made general tso in the crockpot..so good!!!

If you are on Instagram and interested I LOVE love food I swear a food critic or a film one are my dream jobs lol. I have a # I use for all the food I create at home for dinners etc #thelittlebristolkitchen (the little Bristol kitchen) My friends raid it for inspiration ?

Thanks for the ideas! I decided to just pick up some junk food for tonight's snacks.... And the fiance will be bringing home Wendy's. I'll cook tomorrow lol

Chicken wings boiled in low sodium soy sauce, vinegar, onion, and bell pepper. ? with rice and veggies of course.

We have venison chili and it hit the spot! :)

Tonight is smoked tri tip with jalapeño mac and cheese, broccolini, and garlic bread

We had turkey burgers, corn on the cob, and Parmesan zucchini. I'm happy grilling season is here!

I got so many Mexican recipes lol I'm making Taquitos filled with smashed potatoes & cheese then for the top I'm gonna add some diced onion, tomato, chile serrano & lettuce with some sour creme and home made salsa & add queso fresco ?? (hope u can read Spanish lol)

I made chicken alfredo!

Tonight is steak and potatoes. Tomorrow will probably be unstuffed egg rolls, I've been craving it lately!

We had ribs, mash potatoes, corn, and green beans. It was so good, but I wish I would have made baked potatoes!

Chicken fingers and sweet potato fries and a Reese's pb egg. ? Not my finest!! Tomorrow is sausage and peppers with rice though.

We had Cajun chicken pasta last night. Hubby made it off a Pinterest recipe. Soooo good.

We had pizza tonight but I made chicken and black bean burritos yesterday.
