Less than 50 days to go!

So I hit 33 weeks yesterday and now have less than 50 days to go until my due date! This last month or so has gone by so quickly and I can't believe we are this close. Well I can't believe it until I look down at my never ending belly, that usually clues me in.

I have been really busy trying to finish up things at work and get the nursery and the rest of the house ready for Baby Bird. There is something to this nesting, I have never had the urge to clean, organize and cook so much in my life. Speaking of cooking, last weekend I went down to my parents house and did some major cooking (with their help of course because let's face it, I'm not that great in the kitchen).

I had decided I wanted to do some freezer meals before this little one arrives. I don't like cooking now and really doubt I will want to cook anymore after he gets here. I started by reviewing this great cooking blog as she had an entire section of how to do freezer meals. Then my mom and I spent a Saturday trying many of the recipes out.

Here was the starting point, lots of groceries.



Here are just a few of the meals me made.

Pizza Rolls


Pesto Chicken Stuffed Pasta Shells


Cheddar and Cracker Chicken


Breakfast Burritos


Each meal is in a freezer storage container and the pastas are in containers that go straight into the oven. Plus there is a note on each with what the meal is, directions to prepare it, and when it was made. Here was the finished product.






The other meals we made were Beef Dip Sandwiches, Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf, Cornflake Chicken Tenders, and Pasta Milano.


While my freezer doesn't yet look like this. I am still going to make more meals and will get close! My next goal is to make some sauces to pour over pasta.
