Batch cooking before baby

Hi! I go on maternity leave soon and wanting to batch cook a load of meals to freeze for convenience the first couple of weeks of baby being here. Looking for a bit of inspiration of meals to cook. Thanks 😊

I prepped a lot of meals where you add the carbs fresh as I could store more and it'll make it taste fresher. So meat and veggies dishes, which can also be eaten alone or with bread. White wine and garlic chicken (add pasta) Various stir frys (add packet rice/noodles) Sheppherds pie (add potatoes, you can get premade mash cheap at supermarkets) Flavoured chicken thighs (add rice) Pork chops in mushroom sauce (add rice/spuds) Various meats with sauces and veg (again add whatever floats your boat the time) Just one way to do it, but I'm sure plenty of other options work for people. 🥰 I genuinely found it useful when we had our kitchen done. Anyone can read contents and just heat them up and add to with quick carbs if needed. I'd definitely recommend cooking flavours you love rather than just ease, as you'll actually eat them rather than just want something else. Try to pack in veg and nutrients as you'll want that when recovering! But make it tasty. 🥰

I've opted for high protein meals. Weighed and labelled macros onto the containers in the freezer. Got some great meal inspo from i think it was my protein. I can eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch it's dinners I like to mix up. Some great wee meal ideas xx

Such a helpful thread! I was thinking of doing the same. I was going to try a few curries as they seem to freeze really well 👌
