Frozen meal ideas that you actually look forward to reheating when freshly postpartum
Due in 3 weeks and am on my first week of leave right now and am in major prep mode. With my other 2 kids, we did absolutely zero meal prep and really leaned in on the DoorDash…But that is no longer realistic with 3 kids so we’re trying to be more frugal and cut back on the ~$1500/mo we spend on eating out. I know it’s ridiculous…
This will be my first c section and I know my recovery and headspace is going to be so starkly different and more challenging than my other deliveries/postpartum. I also covet those first couple weeks of being home with the baby so I’ve never really been keen on meal trains and people constantly popping by.
I’m not a big fan of lasagnas and casseroles which I feel makes frozen meal options limited. Any ladies have some creative and delicious ideas they’d like to share?
