After watching the last big prep, I went to the kitchen and made every freezer meal I could with just what I had on hand. It’s been a long time since I had meals planned for the entire week. Now I’m doing a grocery haul and planning for the month and beyond. On another note, the titles at the tik marks for each meal truly ministered to me. Thank you and blessings to you both.

Just an idea for the tamale casserole we add pork and beef to this recipe. So it is shredded beef and pulled pork. This elevates the flavor and texture. make three or four of these at a time and freeze them. I also use the broth from cooking the pork and beef to flavor the cornmeal or MASA flour.

Re: Shakshuka. I CANNOT eat a runny yolk (long story that ends in me having a tracheotomy that stayed in for 6 months) so I can't order it out.

Just a hint, as I freeze root veggies all the time, blanch your colored beets separately from each other and bag separately. Yes, it is a pain but this will keep the colors from running and will keep them from going mushy in the freezer.

You may have talked about this in a vid I have not seen yet, but How do you Organize Your Meals?? Cooked vs Not-Cooked and Beef Vs Chicken vs Pork vs NON-Meat.

@FreezerMeals101

8 ай бұрын

We've talked about it from time to time but we tend to keep them fairly neat and tidy, but neither of us put our meals in any specific order. In fact, when we do our big mega sessions, because we do one protein at a time, all the ground beef ends up at the bottom and all the chicken ends up at the top because we do it last! So we try to mix it around as much as we can so we don't end up having chicken every night. I call this system the chaos system! lol Others are very organized about their freezers. One lady in our FB group keeps track of them in an app on her phone, and then once a week moves them from her deep freeze in the garage to the fridge freezer in the kitchen. She is VERY organized! Everybody seems to have their own take on how organized they want to get, and that's cool too. :)

Some of the recipes use raw meat and for others, we add it cooked. In general, we prefer the texture of cooking ground meats (ground beef, ground sausage, ground chicken) to adding them raw, but we usually add the chicken and seafood raw. You can find most of the recipes in the description under the video with specifics for which call for cooked vs. uncooked.

They all have cooking instructions on them. There are a variety of cooking methods. Some are fully cooked and just need a reheat. Some have just the protein and so you would thaw it and cook it as if you had made it fresh and add a starch and your veg to make it a complete meal. Some are great for throwing in the slow cooker when you have a hectic day. It's like you would normally cook things, they're just prepared and ready to go so you don't have to dig out your cutting board and dirty any dishes. We did all that on assembly day!

@FreezerMeals101

6 ай бұрын

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. It depends. If it’s a protein only (like marinated chicken for example), then I can stretch it out by adding additional side dishes. If it’s a meal with a serving size of 6 or 8, then it feeds my full family unless it’s a favourite and they all want seconds. In those instances, I usually know ahead of time and I do pull out two bags of that one. And if it’s a dinner where there are extra friends or my son’s girlfriend, then I do pull out multiple freezer meals. Doing that tonight as a matter of fact.

I have an allergy to the skin of a tomato. Just the skin. It's taken me many many years to get recipes right for me.

@FreezerMeals101

Oh my goodness! What a tough allergy to have to try figure out! I know that crushed tomatoes are juicier than diced tomatoes so you can do it but maybe use less than what is called for, or reduce another liquid in the recipe to adjust for texture/moisture content. It may be a bit of trial and error in the beginning to get right, but I think it's doable. Good luck!
