Just got back from delivering - Edited to add a few recipes

22 freezer/crockpot meals to my parents.  I shopped, chopped, pre-cooked, bagged, labeled, and cleaned the kitchen.  

DH just asked what's for dinner and I told him call Dominos, I'm beat!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I made:

eggplant parmesan (2)
meatloaf (2 small ones)
meatballs (enough for 3 meals)
fish
ham
beef stew (2)
3 other beef dishes
4 chicken dishes
3 pork chop dishes

Pinterest was my friend along with my Taste of Home Slow Cooker cookbook.  For freezing I like to brown all the meat first and I leave out potatoes. I use 1 qt freezer bags and write the name of recipe, how long to cook and if they need to add anything like the potatoes or a thickening agent toward the end.  My mom has dementia so cooking is a problem for her now.  Even though I cut most of the recipes in half it still makes enough that they have leftovers for lunch the next day.   Doing this means I know they aren't eating soup and sandwichs every night.  

I spent a total of $86 for all the ingredients so just under $4 a meal for 2 people.
