I want to make as much as I can before the baby comes. The first kid came early and we didn’t get a chance to meal prep…it would have been a huge help.

This time I want to have some things, breakfast, sides, lunch, dinner. Where all I need to do is defrost, heat/cook, and eat.

Can you share your ideas, experience, links, etc?

Thanks in advance!

    The meal prep I ate most postpartum was precooked ground beef. I made taco meat, Italian seasoned meat, and just ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper for multipurpose use. I vacuumed sealed a pound in each pack. Worked better when I let the meat cool in the refrigerator overnight and then packed with my food saver.

    This made it so easy for my husband to make us a meal by just adding a carb and veggies.

    I also bought rotisserie chickens and vacuumed sealed 1 pound bags. Super versatile to easily thaw and use. Can be used for chicken soups, casseroles, sandwiches and even just to top off a bag of salad mix.
