Today, I helped make Apple Crisp with my sister and niece. They did most of the work... I just got to use the cool apple de-corer/peeler!

I'm did another freezer meal recipe today and made the Crockpot Chicken Fajitas.

Chicken Fajitas

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas Recipe

6 chicken tender or 1 lb chicken breast (I used almost 3 lbs of chicken breast.)
1 medium onion sliced (I chopped mine... oops.)
1 medium green pepper sliced
2 cups salsa
1 can of green chiles
1 pakage of fajita seasonings
2 Tbs olive oil

Place all items in freezer bag. Toss and freeze flat. When ready to cook place all ingredients in crockpot and cook for 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Remove chicken from mix, shred and then add back into the mix. Serve with warm tortillas, top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

I would say freezer meals are great for if you want to give a meal to a new mom or someone who is ill, but I think it would have been easier for me to spend a half hour a day throwing everything into a crockpot instead of 4 hours making 4 meals to freeze.
This was my husbands favorite recipe, which means it was almost too spicy for me. Still yummy and bearable, though I wouldn't recommend it to people with sensitivity to spicy foods.

I did another freezer meal recipe yesterday and made the Crockpot Italian Sausage Recipe.

Mix all ingredients in freezer bag and freeze. (I made the mistake of putting the links in first, which makes it a little more difficult to mix up.) When ready to cook, place all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. Serve on warm hotdog buns and enjoy!
