I'm only 31 weeks in, and I already feel like filling my freezer. I seem to remember LAST TIME when my nesting tendencies leaned towards restocking the linen closet so we wouldn't run out of a single thing while I was on maternity leave. I was super-organized and obsessed over it, making lists of things that we each use, and making a special trip to Target to purchase enough soap, shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant to last til Doomsday. If this is indeed "nesting tendencies" (which I still think is too early) then I'd say that filling the freezer with goodies is far more productive. That's not to say that the first few week's of this child's life won't be filled with plenty of takeout! :)
I made Turkey Eggplant Casserole last week. This casserole, by the way, is one of the few throwbacks from when I did Weight Watchers several years ago that I still like. However, I'm the only person in the house that likes it, so when you bake a 13 x 9 pan of it, you have to freeze some. I pulled a bag out for lunch this week, and cooked some rice to go with it. I had also made Chocolate Zucchini Muffins for Will a couple of weeks ago and froze a few. So now there's one defrosting for him in the fridge for tomorrow's breakfast. I still love how he thinks he's getting this big treat, while Daddy and I know that he's also getting some green veggie!
I'm thinking of finding some more casserole recipes, or stirfries. Anybody got any suggestions for stuff that tastes good AND freezes well?

I don't have any off the top of my head, but I do know I have a bunch of good ones I used to make when my older two were little. I will dig it out and email some to you.
Cheeseburger casserole does freeze good. It's just noodles, tomato soup, cheese and hamburger.
