We are kind of doing this at the moment. It started before DS2 was born, and we wanted a big stockpile of meals in the freezer, but we're finding it is so much more economical to cook in big batches and freeze portion sizes. We only have three dishes at the moment, but DH is doing a new batch most weekends, so we're building up the variety.

We have a bolognese and two types of curry - we just heat up the frozen meal and then cook either rice and pappadams, or pasta - takes 10 mins. DH has also made pizza bases in our breadmaker and frozen those, so they're ready for toppings.

We freeze the meals in the foil takeaway containers with paper lids - from the supermarket. One container does a meal for both DH and me because we pad it out with pasta or rice.

I love it, so much more convenient than trying to find time to cook - our evenings are insane so it's one less thing to worry about. Our only limiting factor is the size of our freezer. I considered a chest freezer, but there is nowhere to put one indoors, and it seems like it would use too much power to run one outside in summer.
