I have been doing freezer meals ever since my second son was born almost 4 years ago. (I don’t know why I have never REALLY shared on here about my experiences)
I was very very blessed to have a family friend watch my oldest (3 1/2 at the time) when I was in the hospital with my second. When we were discharged from the hospital keep in mind 4 days later. We went to pick him up and go home as a New family of 4. Stressed already about having a December baby. Driving home in the snow, Not being able to drive myself anywhere for anything, To my surprise she sent us home with a HUGE box and 2 paper bags full of meals-prepared and already frozen. She even included most of the “extra” things that go with the meals, What I mean by that is if the meal was Spaghetti, she had a loaf of bread and a bag of salad to go with it in the bag as well. It was such a huge blessing to our family.
With my first son I was able to have him naturally, but with my second he was very stubborn and never flipped over not even once after I hit my 5th month of the pregnancy-so being breach I had to have a c-section.
So ever since she blessed us with all these meals, I have tried to always have some ready in our freezers. Or if I make a meal I try to double it so I can eat one and put one away in the freezer for another day. This comes in so handy when we have a busy week, busy day, or if someone you know is struggling with surgery, finances, or anything else.
This week I was able to put together a HUGE list of some our favorites.
