Nikki's List - Freezer Friendly Meals
This week I shared 3 New Freezer Friendly Recipes for Busy Families on my YouTube channel.
I’ve been stocking my freezer with easy heat-and-eat meals that we can have postpartum. First up, DIY Freezer Burritos made with two sources of plant-based protein, veggies, cheese, and salsa. Next, this Broccoli Cheddar Casserole with a crispy Panko topping (yum!) and finally, I had to prep some cookie dough for quick place-and-bake treats.
It’s such a good feeling to know that there are healthy, balanced, and tasty options ready and waiting for me in the freezer because I know there will be lots of sleepy days ahead when the last thing I want to do is cook! lol
Broccoli Cheddar Casserole
This Plant Based Broccoli Cheddar Casserole is a delicious and cozy dinner recipe that has your protein, veggies, and carbs all in one comforting dish! It’s loaded with tasty spices and fresh thyme, so each bite is full of flavor.
Step One
Combine rice, broccoli (I used frozen), vegan chicken, onions, garlic, and vegan cheese in a casserole dish.
Step Two - Make the Broth
Heat up veggie broth, coconut milk, fresh thyme, turmeric, cayenne pepper, nutritional yeast, and Dijon mustard (measurements in this recipe post)
Step Three - Assemble
Pour the hot broth over the rice and veggies. Cover and bake. Once the rice is cooked through and fluffy, remove the cover and top with a little more cheese and Panko breadcrumbs. Then pop it back in the oven to get nice and crispy on top!
Step Four - Enjoy!
Serve on its own or alongside a zesty green salad and some warm dinner rolls for a cozy home cooked dinner ☺️

I shared some new nursery updates in this week’s YouTube video. If you haven’t seen, we’re turning our bedroom into a bedroom/nursery combo and it’s really starting to come together.
One thing that was really important was finding a breathable mattress and basinet, and this one from Newton Baby is breathable and washable - like even the core of the mattress, the sheets, and the mesh fabric all the way around the bassinet are washable! - so we chose the basinet and bedside sleeper.
Newton gave me a link to pass along to you guys or someone you know who might be interested. Get $50 off and free shipping by clicking the pink button below and use code NIKKI at checkout!
Holiday Shopping?
These gift sets have been a life saver when holiday shopping because there’s so many people I know who would love getting them.
They’re both on sale and OSEA gave my readers a code for an extra 10% off the sale price!
The Bestsellers Collection would be great for:
A skincare lover who loves their self care routine
Someone who could use an excuse to pamper themselves a little bit
Someone who is new to skincare and wants to try natural products for the first time
Someone who travels a lot because these are mini sizes of the most popular OSEA products
The Super Glow Set is great because:
Full sized products
It has a big bottle of my favorite product: the Undaria Alage Body Oil. It’s truly amazing for locking in moisture after a nice shower or bath
It has the NEW body wash that smells just like the body oil 🍊☀️🌊
That’s all for this week! Thanks for reading ☺️ Hope you have a great day and a lovely week ahead. Sending you love ❤️ Nicole
