Recipes from Maternity Leave: Freezer Meals

Welcome to my maternity leave! Where I get to rest and recover with my family and you get weekly recipes! As a reminder, for July, August, September and October paid subscribers will be getting four recipes a month - dropped weekly (double my standard drops!). Each month will have a different theme - all voted on by my IG audience.

July: Freezer meals

August: High Protein & Delicious

September: Easy Weeknight Dinners

October: Breakfast, Breakfast, Breakfast

Every month one of the recipes will be an Indian recipe - as I get asked for this quite a bit! It’s been a massive labor of love putting together all these recipes for you guys and I’m honestly so excited for you to get your hands on them.

YAKISOBA

There are few things as comforting as a hot, savory noodle dish. Yakisoba always hits that for me. It’s a Japanese noodle dish, with noodles similar to ramen noodles and signature flavors of sweet, savory and a little tart. I love how balanced the dish is and how heavily you can laden it with veg. For me, that makes it the perfect anytime comfort food that also happens to be nutritious. The hallmarks of a great postpartum freezer meal.

The beauty of this dish is you can easily make an extremely large batch for the freezer by cooking the components individually and combining in a bowl. The noodles reheat beautifully in the microwave making it the freezer meal reheat of anyone’s dreams. I give you the recipe for my perfect version, but know that you can easily swap out any meats and veggies to customize to your liking. You can also omit the noodles and freeze just the veg making it a ready made ramen noodle topping or a perfect side dish to any meat or main you can easily pull together. This recipe is flexible and delicious in all iterations.

Below this paywall you’ll find my recipe for Yakisoba. If you choose to be a paid subscriber to access, I thank you! Developing recipes (well) takes time and can be quite costly in ingredients. If you upgrade to a paid subscription, you will receive new recipes 2x per month (minimally). During my maternity leave (July - October) you’ll get 4 recipes a month!
