Something I’ve read often when researching ways to prepare for baby is to have some freezer meals on hand and ready to go. Since we’re in the final weeks I thought it would be a good idea to research some yummy meals I could either make ahead of time to freeze and meals that are super simple to put together in the slow cooker. I especially love slow cooker meals for “easy” because you can make it in the morning when you have more energy and then at the end of the day (aka the “witching hour” for babies) you’ll have a meal ready to go!
Here are 20 easy meals I found that seem perfect for when a new baby comes! Some are slow cooker and some are make ahead and freeze meals. Either way, I chose meals for this list that are super easy to make and don’t require a lot of steps or too much prep work. Only a handful require any sort of extra cooking ahead of time, such as browning beef! Which one is your favorite?
