You're smart to do this! My neighborhood also gets together and brings

dinner on scheduled days to save new mom's energy. Here are a few suggestions,

if

they appeal to you I'll dig out the recipes:

 

Eggplant parmesan

vegetarian chili (I know there are some recipes in the files for this),

Lentil stew (but the beans in these might be bad if you're going to nurse)

some bread dough to bake later

vegetable soup

tofu noodle soup w/ bean sprouts

Spinach pie

Marinara sauce for spaghetti or manicotti (you could make the manicotti

ahead too)

 

I bet there is a tofuloaf recipe in the files.

I have others but they mostly have beans. I had a terrible time with beans

after my kids were born. Is this your first child? amyF (not as much help as

I'd hoped)

I'm pregnant and I'm looking for a bunch of meals that I can make ahead and

freeze so that when I come home from the hospital, I can still eat healthy

without having to spend time cooking. Does anyone have any good recipes that

will hold up well?

Yes, this is my first, and I have no idea what to expect, just that everyone

told me I am going to be exhausted, lol! I'd love the recipes for some of

these, and I'll check the files too!

 

I didn't know beans were bad for nursing? Do they cause gas in the baby?
