Easy Freezer Meals for a Last-Minute Wedding Gift!

In summary, popular freezer meals for a last-minute wedding gift include lasagna, chicken pot pie, chili, and casseroles. To package them as a gift, use disposable aluminum pans or freezer-safe containers and label each dish with cooking instructions. Freezer meals can be made ahead of time and stored for 3-6 months, with a recommended consumption within the first 3 months for optimal taste. Vegetarian options include veggie lasagna, lentil soup, stuffed peppers, and vegetable curry. It's important to properly wrap and store meals to prevent freezer burn and check the expiration dates on ingredients used.

So, my husband's cousin is getting married very last minute this Sunday. They are pregnant with their 3rd child and have been living together for many years. So, as a wedding present, I'd like to make them some meals to freeze for when the baby arrives. Does anyone have any ideas for good freezer meals???
TIA!

Meals using dried ingredients that they could add water to might be a good idea too because I'm not sure they have an extra freezer. Thanks!
 
all of the power cooking meals are great, and has very little you have to add to them.
 
When I want to make meals ahead to freeze, I make meatloaf, lasagna, chili, etc.
That's a great idea, Jane, how thoughtful! Wish someone had done that for me when I had DD! :)
 
Check out this site. It has some great ideas on items that can be prepared ahead of time then re-heated.
