I have to admit that I've never been one of those people who cook meals in advance... you know, the cook everything for the next month in one day.  I really am much too fickle and enjoy deciding a meal based upon where we are for the day.

Until Saturday...  that was when I had something happen that I had only heard and read about from others.

My freezer door had been left open... just slightly, but enough to thaw out quite a bit of food.  This is the one where the beef goes, along with a couple of packs of chicken.

So now I am excited that I have no plans to cook this week as I did enough on Saturday to take care of us for quite a while.

What ended up happening was multiple steaks cooked on the grill for Marc's dinners at work this week...   A couple of pack of steaks went on an overnight campout (tune in tomorrow).

Hamburger was browned and I made a bunch of spaghetti sauce that went into a massive lasagne or frozen for later.

The chicken was boiled with the broth cooked down and frozen.  I pulled the chicken to add to fajitas.... What isn't used is frozen or put into casseroles to be frozen.

Flank steak was cut up and used for stir fry.  I went ahead and cooked it, and then it can be frozen as needed.

There may have been more, but I've mostly blocked it out at this time.  It's just fun to go to the fridge and see what's already and waiting for me.

A wonderful friend had us over for lunch last week and she made fajitas for us that were wonderful.  I don't think mine turned out quite as well, but maybe that's just because things have gotten to where they taste better to me when I'm not cooking.  Anyway... they are simple and quick to make, and very tasty!

Fajitas:

I sauteed cut up red onion, and yellow, green and red bell peppers in a couple tablespoons of butter.

I then added some minced garlic and some salt/pepper and cumin.

Add some pulled chicken and warm thru to mix flavors.

Serve in a tortilla with some sour cream and salsa.

Sorry no pictures of the finished product, but we were hungry and these were good.
