Works for Me Wednesday

I haven't had time to read all the entries today, so I hope this isn't a repeat.

I make fajita kits for nights when we're really busy. Frozen peppers and onions in one ziploc bag, frozen (fully cooked, seasoned and sliced) chicken in another bag, tortillas in another bag, and shredded cheese and taco sauce in smaller ziploc bags. Then I put all of that in a BIG bag and stick it in the freezer. I can grab one out, heat everything up and have dinner ready in less than 20 minutes!

*That* is a really, really good idea! Do you have any other freezer meal ideas like that one?

Can I just say I feel like a dork? I was SO confused at this comments-deal. Each time I left a comment, it wasn't showing up so I didn't think my comments were "taking". Now I see they did.
Whoops. Sorry!

Stacy - Don't feel bad at all! I was having problems with comments not showing up - that's why I turned on the moderated comments. Now I think they're all getting through.
Thank you all for stopping by!
Michelle, I do pizza kits, too. I don't know why I didn't mention it in the post. I just par bake the crust for about 7-8 minutes then wrap it and bag it with packets of sauce, cheese, and toppings. It freezes well and everyone can top their own. Well, hubby can top his own - I still do the kids:) I would love more ideas cause it is so easy to just grab a bag out of the freezer (and there's no danger of getting pizza ready for the oven only to find that *someone* has eaten all the mozzerella on their cheese toast). Hopefully I'll be able to think some more up, but if anyone has an idea, I'm all ears!

Great Idea! My first time to visit, and since it's late where I am . . . I'll be back tomorrow to look around.
