Alright so my cousin’s wife is expecting their second! I lost track of time and apparently she’s already due in two weeks omg.
So I love cooking and I thought it might be a nice gift to make them some homemade meals to put in the freezer. They are very busy people with busy jobs and now with two kids, cooking isn’t really their focal point.
Now I was wondering what meals did you get as a parent in the trenches that you loved eating? My cousin and his wife are flex-vegitariers. But they aren’t really strict about it.

Lasagna, or any baked pasta dish is easy to reheat. Same with any kind of casserole.
Soup, stew, chilli,
I’m a somewhat picky eater in that I don’t really like most single dish meals and can’t stand cooked tomatoes or tomato sauce. We got a few well meaning casseroles, lasagnas, and baked zitis that I couldn’t bring myself to eat. I would have appreciated soup (so long as it wasn’t tomato based), but we didn’t get anything like that.
What I appreciated were the meal delivery gift cards. If you don’t already know what someone likes, I think that’s the safe bet.
Freezer meals taste like defrosted trash. Save your effort and give them a Door Dash gift card. I wouldn’t bother even putting that in my freezer. Right to the trash.
