Crock Pot Meals

Over winter break I had a ton on my "to-do" list before heading back to work but the one that really needed to get done was freezer meals because well life has been CRAZY BUSY lately!   Here are some that I found on Pinterest and added some little changes to suit my family and their taste buds.  I made some from my blog "Mom, what's for dinner" also.  I spent about $150 (I have lots of deer/elk meat that I use too) and 2 hours of prepping and 14 meals later I am one happy momma and the freezer is full again!

Here is what I made

1-Chicken Teriyaki
2- Fajitas (1 beef, 1 chicken)
2- Honey Dijon Chicken with red potatoes
1- Creamy Ranch Pork Chops
2- Savory Elk soup (you can use ground beef)
2-Chicken and Wild Rice
2- BBQ (1 beef, 1 chicken)
2- Italian (1 beef, 1 chicken)
