Just over a week until my due date! Our little girl is still happily wiggling away in there. The waiting is the hardest!

Here’s one of our favorite meals to freeze. It’s delicious, super easy to double, and a great way to use up all of the veggies in your fridge.

• 2 cloves garlic
• assorted veggies (e.g. carrots, zucchini, squash. green pepper, etc.)
• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes if you’ve got ‘em!)
• 1 26 oz jar of tomato sauce
