01
Chicken and rice soup, in quart containers
whole meal in one container, no rice pot to wash at 2am
02
Turkey chili, family-size split into 2 containers
03
Meatballs in sauce, frozen individually before bagging
learned this after a solid brick of 40 meatballs wouldn't separate. flash freeze on a tray first
04
Baked mac and cheese, single-serve ramekins
mistake was one giant 9x13, needed a knife and a plan just to chip a portion out frozen
05
Breakfast burritos, wrapped individually in foil
the only thing that covers a 3am feed. eat it standing up
06
Banana bread, sliced and bagged flat
07
Muffins, any kind, bagged in twos
08
Label everything with date and exact reheat instructions
"350 for 25 min from frozen" on the bag saves a future exhausted person an actual decision
09
Skip the lasagna
it needs a salad and garlic bread to be a real meal, which is exactly the energy nobody has
10
Soups frozen flat in bags, stacked like files
quart containers stacked loose ate the whole freezer within a week, bags fix this
11
Pancakes, stacked with parchment between them
12
Shredded chicken, plain, no sauce added yet
most flexible thing in the freezer, becomes three different dinners depending on mood
13
Rice and beans, pre-portioned separately
something starchy shouldn't need its own pot at 6pm with a newborn
14
Broth, frozen in ice cube trays then bagged
