That's great! I'm jealous. I need to do more freezer meals. Do you have any book or website for meal plans?

This was a great blog! Next time I'm gonna do my own recipes! These were great but I'm just gonna add and subtract stuff we like/don't like. It's so super simple!

This is awesome! You have a big family too so you have my attention. Is this enough for everyone or will you have to also supplement? How much room does it take up? Although if there are that many meals you don't need room for much else. LOL. How long did it take you to build it up? Did you do it all at one time or a little at a time?

Whew. I think that's enough questions. LOL!

It took me 10 hours split into 2 days because it was my first time and I had to get use to stuff. It will take way less time next time. This is enough for my family of 6 and I add some rice, pasta, or bread. I did, add more to the recipes so that it would be enough. I just beefed it up with more veggies!

ETA: I still have the door that I use to store baking supplies and I have the bottom compartment stuffed with a bag of ice and about 60 uncrustables!

Wow! What a great idea. I need to get my rear in gear. My kids usually live on frozen dinners during my first trimester. Frozen prepped meals would be awesome to have during these months to come.

These are all meals for the crockpot.
