just call me miss domestic.

Before the baby arrives, I thought it would be a good idea to stock up our freezer with easy meals to throw in the crockpot.  Of course, there are ideas for crockpot freezer meals all over pinterest.  I decided to give it a try, because hey, how hard could it be?  Wrong.  These women who say it only takes like 4 hours are crazy.  I would say it took me around 6-8 hours to find recipes, compile a grocery list, go to the grocery store, make three trips carrying groceries up the stairs @ 36 weeks preggo, label ziplocs, put disgusting raw meat in ziplocs (and then proceed to disinfect the entire kitchen), chop vegetables, open cans, measure spices, try not to screw up recipes, etc etc etc.  

Whew, not so easy, right?  I will be really upset if these meals turn out to be gross...  Anyways, it was a good experience, but probably not one I will be doing again any time soon.  I spent about $185 on EVERYTHING, and figure I will have about 18 dinners for Darin and I, plus left-overs for at least 2 lunches per crockpot meal for myself.  

Sorry for the crappy pics.  I didn't have the energy to whip out the nikon.

Now I just need a bigger freezer...
