Tasty Tuesdays: Freezer Meals

I had lots of people ask about the freezer meals I prepared before I had surgery. I got the recipes from: http://www.overthebigmoon.com/super-fast-chicken-freezer-meals/ so I can't take any of the credit for them. They were super easy to prepare, pop in the freezer and then thaw and put in the crockpot. These are the perfect meals to send over to a friend that's just had a baby, is on bed rest or just had surgery :)
