Postpartum 40 Day Meal Plan

This is my 40 day postpartum menu plan. Anything listed in green will be premade and frozen. I have included 2 days of labor meals. These are are all easy, cook from frozen and have vegetarian options (for my midwives). I have made up shopping list for each week for any extra perishables that might be needed. I will also have a stocked "pantry tub" that will be put to the side so those items don't get used prior to the plan starting.

I do have a plan for every day and every meal...including snacks and desserts. I am not expecting us to follow the plan completely...therefore this should last for more than 40days. But I want a PLAN for each meal...I don't want any question about....so what are we having.

Now I just have to get cooking all this food.

Ya know that is probably one of the cheapest and easiest things we could do....eat together or atleast swap meals. :)

I love it! If I'm blessed with another baby this is what I will spend my time doing. No more fussing over baby clothes, and the cloth diapers are all made.
