Baby Prep 101

Knowing how important food is for domestic harmony, and how potentially busy our kitchen will be after this newest bundle of joy arrives, I have decided to stock the freezer with all kinds of frozen dinners.

Now, I think I have been pregnant too long, and should begin to seriously examine my decisions in other areas, because the insanity of quadrupling a chicken pot pie recipe (that already normally yields two pot pies), all in one afternoon, never occurred to me. Not as we cooked two whole chickens, nor as we peeled and sliced 2 lbs of carrots, cried through 5 diced onions, or even when we cubed 3 lbs of potatoes... but as Jeremiah rolled his 16th pie crust, I think it had occurred to someone else.

In fact, the insanity seemed to have worn on him quite a bit, because instead of continuing to make pretty little hearts on all of his pies...

Peter talked Daddy into making an elephant on the final pie. At least, that is what he said it was.

BUT, now we have 17 frozen meals in our freezer, unfortunately, the selection is limited to Chicken pot pie, baked ziti and mac'n'cheese... perhaps I should have thought of this also, when quadrupling meals?
