I'm planning ahead for when I'm due to have my first baby in February. As I know that food preparation time will be extremely limited I want to spend some time over the winter preparing meals that can be frozen.

Apart from bolognese sauce, chili sauce, soups and stews what else is good for freezing?

If I made a shepherds pie or fish pie would the potato topping freeze OK?

I freeze the base of shepherd's pie and fish pie - but prepare the mash on the day of eating.

I also freeze chicken pieces in their marinade ready to stir fry when defrosted - or you can freeze it after stir frying.You can do the same with pork, beef etc I have chicken jalfrezi in the freezer - ready to defrost and heat, then all that's needed is the rice.

Hope your pregnancy goes well.

Thanks both. Just need to defrost the freezer now, so I can start my cooking and get it re-stocked!
