Freezer Meal Ideas for Expectant Moms

Freezer Meal Ideas for Expectant Moms (& dads!) – If you or someone you know is expecting a baby, having the freezer prepped with some meals will be so helpful in the first couple months (years?!?). Below is a collection of everything from breakfast to dessert so there should be something for everyone.

Freezer Meal Ideas for Expectant Moms

My “to do before baby comes” list is getting pretty long. I woke up yesterday with a start at the realization that we have 9 weeks left. Single digits. Holy cow, guys, I’m having a baby.

One of our biggest tasks weighing on us is the elliptical sitting in what is going to be the baby’s room. We need to take it out to the garage but there’s over a foot of snow covering the path from our house to the garage and it just…keeps…snowing. That’s holding up pretty much everything else.

Another thing on my to do list is to prep some freezer meals.

Have I mentioned I’ve never made a freezer meal? So, I asked some blog friends to help me gather their favorites for me to try. I imagine having some food ready to go in the freezer will come in handy those first few weeks (months?).

There are some great looking recipes here – everything from breakfast, to pasta, to cookies. Now I just need to find a day to make some of these. Wish me luck.

Update 4/27/17 – we’re expecting baby #2 in the next 4-5 weeks (!!!) so I decided to give this post an update and include some more freezer meal ideas…since I never got around to making any the first time
