I guess Im food nesting
DH made a vat of sauce, 40+ meatballs yesterday so today I made 2 (half) trays of ziti (with one more to go) I have 3 bags of diced up chicken, abt a gallon of chicken stock, we got a pork loin and cut it all up, some frozen veggies and everything is now is our newly purchased freezer!
Any other ideas that I can freeze...we have no one around to help us out like they did with #1 and I dont want to worry about what to cook the first couple of weeks!
and I finally ordered a bouncer and diapers! OK tomorrow marks 37 weeks....Im a getting ready! 
...now Im completely exhausted and my back is killing me...just hope its not tonigh cause Im shot!

Re: I guess Im food nesting
Its great to get prepared while you can... I hope I can make some casseroles or lasagna and freeze it ahead of time. MIL helped make us some dishes last pg...maybe we can ask her to help again.

Re: I guess Im food nesting
Ooh, I'm jealous of your freezer! I've been packing ours and I think I'm finally out of room. I have lasagna, meatloaf, mexican stuffed shells, burrito pie, beef chili, chicken chili, goulash, and english muffin pizzas. I have several portions of each plus a few random other meals. Cooking is more fun than scrubbing my cabinets!

Here's what I was able to dig up!
Chicken Chili
Bean and Beef Chili
Taco Stuffed Shells
Crescent Chicken Bundles
Burrito Pie
Crockpot Beef Goulash
Some of the recipes have freezer instructions. Most I just cook all the way and then freeze with my foodsaver.

Re: I guess Im food nesting
thanks...Im so ify on how and what foods to freeze...then how to reheat them
what I did (I really cheated) I picked up 2 rotisserie chickens (already cooked) from Costco....picked them apart, cut them all up and bagged the chicken abt 2 cups per bag and froze them
figured this way I can just add them to almost anything, and it defrost quickly too...my latest is chicken pot pie! so good
then take the carcass (skin and all) and made stock...froze a few different size containers from 2 cups to a 6 cup
(can use it in the chicken pot pie, make soup, ect...)
thinking about making shepards pie tomorrow and freezing it too
