While pinning my little heart out I keep coming across freezer meals or take a couple of hours of prep work and make meals for the week.  I became intrigued by this so, decided to give the freezer meals a try because although I would like to prep all meals for the week that isn't me.  I usually get up in the morning and know what I will fix for dinner it just comes to me.  If I were super busy tho I would most likely do all the prep work for the week in one day.  I actually enjoy all the chopping and stuff that goes along with cooking dinner it relaxes me!!! All that being said I decided to try a freezer meal plan from www.sixsistersstuff.com .  She did 8 freezer meals in 1 hour and a couple of minutes.  I did 10 meals in 1 hour and 10 minutes it was kinda fun and the end accomplishment was just an added bonus.  The reason I got 10 eals was because I cut one recipe in half.  I was so excited to have freezer meals I forgot to leave one out for dinner the next day.  On the original blog she gives a shopping list which I took to the store with me.  I had most of the other things on hand just had to buy meat.  You can click on the link to find the meals.  The ones I did are listed below.

BBQ Spareribs
Black Bean Taco Soup - I used pinto beans instead of black
Chicken Broccoli Alfredo - This one I did two meals
Chicken Cacciatore
French Dip Sandwiches
Hearty Beef Stew
Maple Dijon Glazed Chicken
Cilantro Lime Chicken with Corn and Black beans

I lined up all the ingredients for the meals so I could just fill the bag and go on to the next.  I did all the chopping ahead.  Make sure you label each bag with the cooking instructions and what that meal is will be doing this again with some of my own meals.  Have fun!!!!
