The almost full freezer stash has been coming in handy already as third trimester energy plummets!
We've got with a mix of uncooked and cooked items, and thank goodness for a pressure cooker. Definitely need to do a few more bean options and grab some frozen veggies to keep meals rounded but this takes a lot of pressure off mentally creating meals and at least halves the prep time.
Snacks are tba as I haven't done those yet really. Still 2 months to go!
Love doing this for myself as I remember having literally no f***s to give regarding food postpartum but needing nutrient dense quick options. (Will also bulk prep things like breakfast muffins and mini quiche closer to the date too).
For my postpartum doula clients, I know having at least one meal a week taken care of was so helpful so that's where all our energy is going.
🤭 one more month of doula support and then I'll be on my partial mat leave 🫶
