Freezer cooking~Getting ready for baby

For the past 3 weeks or so I've been stocking our freezer with meals for before and after baby.  I don't have the energy for a monster all day session so I've done smaller chunks once or twice a week and that's been a great way to fill my freezer.  I've found in the past that we don't like casseroles too much and tortillas don't freeze the best, so I tried make things I knew we would enjoy eating.  Here's a few pics:

I definitely prefer this way of freezer cooking.  No monster clean up and most of the time, I just doubled whatever we were having for dinner and put the extra in the freezer.  And I made my crockpot work for me A LOT!  Spaghetti sauce, chili, sloppy joes, taco meat, and pork filling were all made in the crockpot (plus I browned all the ground beef in it).  I have about 30 meals in my freezer now.  Yay!
