Freezer Cooking = Success

So, I called in the help of my mom and dad (dad to entertain my wee helper, and mom to help with the preparation!)  So, now sitting in my freezer are the following:

Chicken & Spinach
Beef Dip Sandwiches
Italian Sausages in Spaghetti Sauce
Chicken Fajitas
Casserole Spaghetti
Chicken Ranch Tacos
Peppered Steak (This one may not make the cut for crock potting, I may do it on the stove top.)
Beans and Rice
Taco Meat x 2

90% of the meat came from my freezer, which in hind sight, I probably wouldn't do again.  It was sort of a pain.  The chicken was easy, but ground beef and sausage take a lot longer when frozen.

I compared ingredients and made my grocery list, then I pulled out my handy, dandy notebook and penned all of the cooking instructions, and bag instructions for all of my bags.  One recipe I had planned on doing was Chipotle Tacos, but I couldn't find chipotle peppers.  Next time I will remember to check the canned veggies.  ;)

I chopped and diced and peeled while mom browned all of the meat.  Then, we began dumping everything into bags.  Of course, I'm new to this blog thing, so I forgot to take progress pictures... this will have to do!

So, my freezer is nicely stocked, as you can see!  In the future, I'm not sure that I'll do bulk freezing again, but will likely try making double recipes.
