Freezer Cooking after Bedtime (or at naptime)

See the Menu Plan here.  You can print it too if you would like.

What I am doing is mainly just cooking the main ingredient of the meal and then also cooking up some sides and breads.  You can see on my menu that I have 8 weeks of meals ready.  I do "Leftover Buffet" once a week and a pizza night once a week.  I plan for 5 meals a week.  Fortunately, I have most of the meat from this menu already, I just have to buy mostly pork chops and potatoes with a few "extras" so this shouldn't cost a lot.  As usual, I go by the pantry principle, which is to keep my pantry stocked.
