Meal Prepping For Baby's Arrival | Fill Your Freezer For Postpartum

Join me for my first session of freezer meal prep for after baby #2 is born! When pregnant with my first child, I had the best of intentions for cooking lots of meals to have in the freezer ready to go for when we got home from the hospital. I worked as a waitress all the way up until she was born and I was so exhausted that the meal prep never got done. Thankfully some sweet ladies brought us meals and my mom was here to help as well. Looking back, life during that time would've been soooo much easier if I had gotten those freezer meals made. Of course, I had no idea how awful that birth experience would be nor how long the recovery time would last. Farmhouse On Boone Sourdough Skillet Recipe: https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/heal... Here are some Freezer Meal Prep Tips to make your cooking day go smoother: 1. Make A Plan This seems super obvious, but I'll go ahead and say it anyway. Because if you're experiencing pregnancy brain like me, sometimes things just have to be spelled out! Go ahead and write out what meals you're planning to make, and check your pantry and fridge for the items that you need to shop for. Make your grocery list and plan a shopping day a few days ahead of your cooking day just to make sure you have everything you need. If you're planning to break your meal prep days up over a few weeks like I did, only buy the supplies for the first meal prep session, unless they're shelf stable and will keep in the pantry. And don't forget to get whatever you need to freeze your meals in, whether you use freezer bags, throw away pans or casserole dishes. 2. Get Rested Another obvious thing, but if you're planning a big meal prepping day, it's going to be exhausting. Not to mention the dirty dishes that you'll have to deal with afterward. The night before meal prepping won't be the best night to stay up until 2 in the morning binge watching your favorite new show. Especially if you have other kids that frequently interrupt your sleep! 3. Start With A Clean Kitchen Working in a clean kitchen is so much easier and you'll have all of the tools, spoons, and dishes that you'll need clean and ready to use. It beats the heck out of having to stop every few minutes to wash another spoon or bowl. 4. Label Your Containers First Go ahead and label your bags or pans before you put the food in, if possible. It'll be soooo much easier! If you've never tried to write on a sweating ziplock bag before, let me be the one to tell you...it doesn't work!
