Frozen Meals for Post Partum


As you can soon expect, you will have your hands very full with your new little one! That being said, there isn't much time for cooking & meal preparation. Frozen meals come in especially handy for new parents!

Frozen Section at the Grocery Store
The next time you're strolling through the grocery store, look at the frozen food section. You can find all sorts of meals frozen and just ready to throw in the oven or microwave. However, because they're frozen, they have a higher sodium content so they'll keep--but they're cheap, easy and accessible. I like foods like Voila Chicken Alfredo! All you do is put the package in a skillet with some water, add the alfredo sauce and let it cook. This meal can go quite aways if served atop rice. Also, many veggies are available to steam in your microwaves and even with buttery and herb sauces, yum!

Homemade Frozen Foods
Ever frozen lasagna? Works well doesn't it? All you have to do is throw that baby in the oven with some tin foil and voila, a delicious, home made meal! Lasagna is probably is the easiest to make, but there are others as well. Any type of casserole would work well too (I like green bean casserole! YUM!)

Here is a good lasagna recipe, sure looks yummy! Lasagna Recipe
