Toss it in the pot and go!

Hey folks... here is another small set of from the freezer to the crock pot recipes (found here). Gotta love the simplicity here. Granted you can spend the entire day preparing your crock put freezer bags, but in this you can get the whole family involved. Teach the kids to use the food processor. Let them add the ingrediants to the bags or have them write the names of the meals on the bags. However you choose to employ the family, you don't have to do it alone!
