Freezer Meals Creation Station 1

With baby #2 on the way I understand the need to plan ahead with regard to meals. Not only is it difficult to cook with a baby,(or find the energy to cook) but the basic idea of braving the grocery store with an energetic toddler and a newborn in cold and flu season has me trembling in my boots. So... here goes nothing. :)
