With DS#1, I made stuffed shells, muffins, beef stew for the crockpot, chili (just get all the ingredients together in a freezer bag, thaw the night before and put in the crockpot). I was induced for high BP, and I knew the day before, so that night we stocked up on bread, lunch meat, drinks, etc.I hope to get a better start this time around, it was soooo nice not having to worry about making anything.

I don't have specific recipes that I can share, but I can share the types of foods that I am freezing.
soups- baked potato soup, butternut squash soup, veggie bisque (I blend it so it is thick and not very chunky)
spaghetti sauce
meatballs
stuff shells- Stuffed, but not baked. I freeze them on a tray then put them in baggies. When I make them, I defrost them and bake them as though I was making them fresh.
salsa chicken wraps- I make chicken cooked in salsa in the crockpot and shred it. Then I mix it with more salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. I wrap them and freeze them on a tray, then put in baggies of 4, which is enough for us for dinner. I defrost them and bake them for about 10 minutes.
cookie dough- I've frozen chocolate chip cookie dough, oatmeal cookie dough, and snickerdoodles dough. I scoop the dough and shape in balls and freeze them on a tray. Then I put in baggies. When I want to make them, I defrost them on a cookie sheet and then bake as normal.
apple cinnamon muffins
Next up, I want to make mini-meatloafs. I might try that this weekend.
I am a huge fan of using the cookbook...Don't Panic Dinner's in the Freezer. I am too cheap to actually buy the cookbook so I found it on google books for free, printed it out and put it all in a binder.

That is a genius idea I've never even heard of that book!
