I was just wanting some ideas on what types of meals to take to a new mum that could be frozen, or eaten fresh? TIA -------------

Pasta sauces made up like with mince and veges alreayd cooked and added, then they would just need to boil some pasta.
I also am freezing extra mince pie or chicken pie fillings that i make so i can just defrost and shove a pastry layer on top and then cook. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Pies are nice winter meals. Also like Hannahbil said, bolognaise (sp) sauces are good as it can be easily turned into a meal with pasta or rice. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Shepherds pie, pasta bakes, lasagne and most casseroles freeze well. That is such a great idea, you are a great friend  -------------

As others have said lasagne (I made myself a whole lot before Ben was born) and Shepards Pie.
For fresh meals, DH's boss came over last weekend and his wife had made us a chicken pasta salad which was great as it was a really easy lunch and snack for a day or so. Baking is always good for the freezer as well ------------- Lindsey

| this isnt a meal but when i had henry someone made me really big savoury muffins and free flow froze them. They were great for the middle of the night feeds when i was starving. Id just bung one in the microwave before i started feeding and it was ready when id finished. I cried the first night i ate them because they were so good and it was such a sweet thing to do lol. |

Before my daughter was born I made Strogonoff's (Chicken, Beef and Lamb). I just used the maggi packet stuff. They freeze good and you can have it with pasta or rice. I do my rice in the microwave absoprtion method 1 cup rice, 2 cups water 12min on high and that usually feeds 4 people or my husband and I for dinner then also his lunch.
Smoked fish pie was also easy and good to freeze. I just make a thick white sauce, add frozen peas and corn and flaked smoked fish either from a tin of fresh. Flakey puff pastry as a base or bread crusts (crust side in) top with mashed potato and cheese. *If your not keen on fish you can use cooked chicken. *Chicken, bacon and mushroom in the thick white sauce also makes a nice pie to freeze. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| before the boys I just made large batches of Lasagne and indial meals - you can buy containers at the plastic box. and basically you have premade single indian meals (with chicken and rice) |
