10 new dinners in my freezer in the last 2 days.  

Recently our freezer got run over by a car (not saying who was driving) so we had to buy a new freezer.  This one is frost-free and so so nice.  It resides in our basement just like the deceased freezer did but on a different wall for its own safety.  I was very busy Friday and Saturday preparing ten new freezer meals  

I created an Excel file to keep track of what is in the freezer so nothing gets forgotten or goes bad.  When food is pulled out I just have to decrease the quantity on hand.  I will always know exactly what is in my freezer on any given day.
                 
Some are crock pot meals and some go in oven.  Usually crock pot meals go in zip-loc freezer bags and oven meals go in pans.  Because it is just me and my husband at home now I cut the recipe in half and fill 2 -  8 x 8 pans.  That way we still have left-overs for a couple of days but not the entire week.  

As I eat the meals I will share the recipes if they are yummy.  

There are several freezer containers of beans.  I pressure them and freeze them to use later in meals instead of buying cans at the store.
