Cheap tortillas (Costco) filled with slow-cooker beans, and red rice and salsa from one of DH's favorite Mexican cookbooks. There are some amazing salsas in there. I like these because they're versatile enough to grab and heat up for just me during the day, or to serve as a full meal for both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-postpartum-freezer-meals#post-2007182 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 19:07:34 +0000 autumnleaves 2007182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black bean soup and pork carnitas were the favorites that I made.

I did individual soups, muffins, mini pot pies, ect. things I could easily heat up for breakfast/lunch. For dinners, I utilized my crockpot. Dump and go about my day and dinner was done with DH got home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-postpartum-freezer-meals#post-2007053 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 17:11:19 +0000 Eminthevalley 2007053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used this website, which has tons of freezer meal ideas for all sorts of preferences (diet, paleo, vegetarian, comfort food, etc): <a href="http://onceamonthmeals.com/" rel="nofollow">http://onceamonthmeals.com/</a><br /> I also made big batches of rice, froze them in 2-cup portions and bought an assortment of easy-prep frozen meals at Trader Joe's and Costco, like stir-fries, tamales, etc. Paired w/ rice and salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-postpartum-freezer-meals#post-2007034 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 16:56:25 +0000 matador84 2007034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Veggie/beef stew is another, pancakes, waffles.</p> <p>I just got a reach in freezer so I've been hoarding freezer ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-postpartum-freezer-meals#post-2007028 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 16:53:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2007028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved having individual sized things, especially sort of healthy muffins (ha with chocolate chips).
