I didn’t make dinner for about a month after Poppy was born. Every afternoon someone would show up bearing a hug and a good meal, and it was fabulous.

Having food on hand was such a big help when we were trying to adjust to having a new baby, and I wanted to pass that same sort of assistance on to Mr & Mrs Perry Mason. I live too far away from them to stop by with a daily lasagna and a hug, though, so instead I whipped up some meals, froze them and stashed them away in their freezer for them to use at their leisure.

I didn’t make all of these for the Masons, but I can attest that all of them are great freezer-friendly foods.
