Overall, I think you have a terrific plan. I just have one word of caution...don't plan your meals too strictly too far in advance. For example, say you planned on Chicken next Monday with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli as a veggie. By the time Monday rolls around, you may not want Chicken, or Mashed Potatoes, or Broccoli. But Beef with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli may sound good. Or maybe you want the Chicken and Broccoli but not Mashed Potatoes. Maybe Rice instead.
If you're going the Freezer route, cook and freeze in individual containers/baggies so you can mix and match for the Long Run. And, by doing it this way, even if you don't want idividual servings of this and that, you can always come up with a casserole of some sorts by adding a little of this baggie and a little of that baggie to a sauce or noodles or crust or whatever.
When planning long term, keep flexibility in mind so you don't feel so restricted in your options. I say great start and congrats on the new freezer!
