Sliced peppers and onions, flash frozen and stored in another bag.<br /><br />Pasta Sauce: yes and yes<br /><br />Freezer Alarm: most garages have a GFI safety on the outlets. That means that if there is water nearby, the outlet will shut itself down. (You have these also in your kitchens and bathrooms.) Ours shut down last fall and I didn't know until AFTER the entire contents of the freezer were thawed and warm. I cried. I haven't used it in almost a year. But, a freezer alarm is on its way. It goes off if the freezer goes below a certain temp. Doesn't help if you're on vacation, but we NEVER go on vacation. LOL. Fajitas: Chicken in marinade in one bag.

I put a hamburger/rice casserole in today. I was hoping the triple batch of peanut butter cookies I made would allow me to freeze some but . . . I don't think that's going to happen. They are disappearing fast. I've been trying to do more cooking ahead by simply doubling any recipe that I think will freeze well and putting half in the freezer.
