With my last pregnancy I made a few freezer meals just in time. As my son was born 3 weeks early! I don’t normally freeze many meals since most of my meals are easy to make and a lot of it is meat and vegetables. However, with my last pregnancy I decided to make freezer meals to make life a bit easier the first week home from the hospital. Here are some freezer meal ideas to make while pregnant!

Freezer Meal Ideas to Make While Pregnant:

I Made:

1. Chili
2. Stuffed shells with spinach
3. Lasagna
4. Chicken Soup
5. Bean and Cheese burritos
6. Pepperoni Pizza
7. Cheese and Vegetable quesadillas
8. Banana Bread Muffins
9. Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

Some Tips

To save time and money I made a large pot of chili and chicken soup as I normally do.  What is left over is frozen! It is enough for another 4 large servings.  The pizza and quesadillas were easy as I always have cheese, pasta sauce and naan/tortillas at home.  Use any vegetables or leftover meats to make pizzas or quesadillas.  I had a can of pureed pumpkin and decided to make bread. The stuffed shells and lasagna I planned out.  I suggest using what you have at home first before purchasing extra food!  This way you save money!

Small List

There are many recipes out there but not many that my family and I eat often. Which is why my list of frozen meals was small.  However, this will help me out the first week at least.  I may end up doing take out a few days, my husband will grill and will definitely use my crockpot!

Cool the Meals First

Make sure to let everything cool before freezing and let the air out of the ziplock bag. For the lasagna and stuffed shells, wrap in plastic wrap and then cover in foil.  With a sharpie, write on the foil how long to bake.  Make sure everything is dated!

I used my recipes for these and some are Pinterest inspired!

Freezer meals are great for back to school as well for those busy nights, new baby and just because you may have leftovers!

I hope I have given you some ideas!
