Looking for great recipes to freeze or meal prep for 8 month old

8 months old

I’m finding it so challenging to do baby lead weaning with my eight month old because I feel like I have no time in the day to make her two meals. I’m not even sure how I’m going to start doing three meals a day soon. I’d like to spend time each weekend meal prepping or freezing meals, ideally something that we could eat and baby could eat. Could you please share your favorite recipes for meals that I can make ahead or freeze ahead that could be shared with my husband and I and our baby?

Do we just omit the salt from the meals and add it before my husband and I eat our portions? So far I’m making a completely separate meal for the baby and it’s so exhausting and time-consuming.

I would especially love foods that I can just throw in the crockpot or on the stove top. Or items for baby that are made and can just be microwaved like pancakes.

I can find some recipes online, but it’s hard to know which ones would be safe to serve an eight month old. So far she has been OK with eating easy foods like roasted veggies, noodles, avocados, etc… but she just had toast the other day and had some huge gagging which really freaked me out.

I plan to do a big meal making session this weekend and would love your favorite recipes. Thank you so much!!
