I was lucky enough early on to have a friend who set up a roster of meal delivery. That way none of it really ever needed freezing. We had an esky at the fron door so no-one would have to disturb me if I was resting. Some of the best were hot roast dinners being delivered to my door and just needing popping in the oven to keep warm. Others delivered all the bits ready to go so it was just a matter of cooking up - no preparation - a favourite here was tacos or chicken schnitzels with salad and fresh veges.
I also loved chicken soup, vegetable and minestrone soups. Other favourites that the girls liked were Fish Pie, chicken casseroles, beef guiness casserole.They especially loved stuffed potatoes, honeyed carrots and nice fresh bread. My son would eat none of it because I hadn't cooked it - we sometimes quickly put everything into our pots and pans so he would think I had cooked it but he wasn't easily fooled.
I was lucky to have it coordinated - my friend did this over email and everyone checked so as not to double up and I provided a list of family favourites and things the kids disliked - this worked well.
