Freezer/Slow Cooker Dinners

In an effort to use my crockpot more and make general living more pleasant,  this week (today actually) trendy wife started a new journey into shopping for and cooking millions of meals to freeze in advance all on the same day. Not millions...I made 11 freezer meals in 3 ish hours, for a 5 person family, and spent around 130 ish dollars on just that food stuff. It went pretty well, but I would advise against shopping and cooking on the same day, unless you have feet of steel. 

Sorry the pic sucks. After all that standing I didn't want to haul them all back out for a photo shoot. So here are the fruits(and meats and veggies) of my labors! I haven't cooked any of them yet, but I'll make a follow up blog post with the results. Most of these recipes are not tried and true... This is a brave new world.

I'll post the recipes in my follow up blog. I could post them now, but what if they all suck really bad and then you try them before I tell you and you stop reading this blog forever?

 I'll do this a lot more, because I feel so genius about it and it makes my life so much easier. Especially as a student. 

I would also like to just say that my husband is amazing. He spent the whole Saturday helping me do all this, after working his super hard, manual labor, in the hot sun job all week to provide for me. I couldn't do it, or anything really(let's be honest) without him. Love you babe. 

Be kind to each other. See y'all in two weeks after I make all this food.
