Just started watching you ladies, have not tried any recipes yet but I will be. I did hear your comment about the shopping list. I have started a google spreadsheet for my family and in 1 column we put the item, next who wanted this item and then there is a drop down list where I can choose the isle it is in, in the store, before I leave for the store, I sort the list by isle so I am not running around the store anymore. And I always have my list bc it is on my phone.

So smart Gail! I used to have an app called "Out of Milk" where I could put my shopping list on it and sort by the aisle it was in. I had it in the order of the aisles at the grocery store. I was very good at using it and then they did a big overhaul that reset my aisles and I sort of gave up on it. I like your thinking and I also like being that organized. :)

Get a smoker for the chicken... or bake alllllll the chicken breasts at once on baking sheets... hard to use the oven when it's hot...but totally hands off!! Also using the instantpot can work...and then you have chicken stock for recipes too...when done

I used baking sheets in the oven this time, but I'm thinking I should have used the Instant Pot. I've used that for prepping chicken before and it worked really well, but I had so much chicken to cook that I knew I would have to do it over and over again so I opted for the oven. Great tip about the chicken stock from the Instant Pot! Thank you.

Just a heads up in the frozen food section, you can get perfectly, cubed chicken well, you don’t have to pre-cut it that’s one thing I think I would take the extra step in the extra expense on! The little, cubed chicken it’s just the same size you would put in a pot pie will save you time in hours. I think the bags of 20 ounce bags, but I think they might have bigger bags as well but then again, it would make life so much simpler if he did That

Question: why would you use cottage cheese for the manicotti and not for the ravioli? I have an Italian aunt that threw a small fit once when my mom made lasagna with cottage cheese. I am team ricotta, but cottage cheese is ok if someone else makes it. BTW I am a club member and so far I have been enjoying the recipes. I have also converted other recipes to freezer meals. Once tested I would love to share them with you guys! I LOVE your videos and watch every one!!!!! P.S. please put a wet cloth/paper towel or an anti-slip mat under you cutting boards. It will keep your board from slipping around and lessen the risk of cutting yourself. I would hate to see one of you cut yourself making wonderful food for us to try making.

Please coat the foil with a layer of shortening before putting acidic food in. It prevents the acid from eating through the foil and giving a potential aluminum taste and causing some diseases.

I've been watching a few of your videos. I'm wondering if you guys ever stock your freezers with breakfast meals and/or lunch and snacks. Or do only prepare dinners? If you don't, how do you handle those other meals? Do you plan them, prep them weekly, or just make them fresh each day?

We sure do! As a matter of fact, we've got a video coming out on Sunday of Grab and Go Breakfasts. It takes a bit longer to do breakfast or snacks because you're usually baking them before freezing, but we find that it's still so worth it to do. Plus of course it saves money and is healthier than a lot of the packaged snacks out there. Here's one of our videos on make ahead snacks: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eW2EmpRrgM65Zrg.html

How do you keep your freezer bags from sticking together during freezing?

@FreezerMeals101

2 жыл бұрын

The bags stick together if they are damp on the outside so if we have any spills, we are sure to dry the bags really well before freezing. Also, we stack them on different shelves so that they have a bit of freezing time before the next one gets put on top. But if you don't have the space for that, you can use cardboard or parchment paper in between them to ensure they don't stick together.
