[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here and I personally don't think it's that big of a deal.  I make food and leave it in the fridge for the weekends for my charges all the time.  I also made all of their baby food and did it 2 days a week (Tuesday and Fridays) so that it was always freshly stocked for the weekend.

Now the compromise is that if I am not feeling well or have an exceptionally busy week my employers are 100% fine with preparing food on the weekends.  I also always have things in the freezer that are easy to pull out.[/quote]

Not OP but what do you make fresh that you can freeze for toddler meals?  [/quote]
Not pp but
-turkey meatballs (I usually add spinach or pureed carrots/sweet potatoes and the kids never know!)
-mini quiches/fritatas (with quinoa, cheese, ham/turkey, veggies, ect)
-muffin tin lasagna/ shepherds pie/meatloaf
-pasta sauce fortified with veggies
-large batches of pancakes and waffels
-large batches of pasta like penne and farfalle 
-steamed veggies cut toddler sized
-falafil
-homemade chicken tenders and fish sticks
-mac and cheese with green veggies (peas, broccoli, spinach)
-soup, especially chicken noodle/rice and very midly spiced chilli

to name a few things. Basically anything that can be made in a large batch, cooked in a muffin tin, and then frozen individually for easy thawing/reheat [/quote]

I'm the pp you asked and I do almost all of these things too.  I like Weelicious if I'm needing inspiration and she often has freezing and reheating instructions.

Some of our favorites from there that I've frozen well:

Apple/Banana Muffins
Strawberry Muffins 
Ham and Cheese Muffins
Cheesy Turkey Meatballs
Meatloaf Bites
Lasagne 
Mini Chicken Meatballs and Wagon Wheel Pasta
Cheddar Broccoli Patties 
Chicken Nuggets 
Mini Quiches 
Fish Tenders 
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas
