Just a time saving tip...I mix all the stuff for my brekkie burritos into one large bowl and use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to fill the tortillas in one go.

You should wrap your breakfast burritos/sandwhiches in parchment paper. It can go from freezer to microwave and no having to get other materials off. Simple!

Pizza bagel tip: Cover the bagel hole with a pepperoni so you dont lose much of the toppings :)

My almost 8 yr old grandaughter lives with me and she loves cooking breakfast (almost by herself). Today she was practicing cracking the eggs by herself.She has been helping me in the kitchen since she was a toddler...she started washing dishes and now she is cooking !! So it is great to get the kids helping in the kitchen!

That's so great! My mom didn't do well teaching me to cook...she was too much of a perfectionist. I learned from friends and on my own as an adult. My daughter has been helping cook since she was 2. She is now 15, and can cook pretty much as well as me. Letting them "help" from a young age pays off! My daughter was actually more of a help than hindrance by about 7 or 8. She starting getting her own snacks around age 2. She was good about asking first for what she needed to ask for.

If you wrap the burritos in parchment paper instead you can heat them in that.

I was mind blown when you put the french toast back in the bag. It seems so obvious now, but I never would have thought of that!

I just made a batch of breakfast burritos. I used eggs, cheese, turkey sausage crumbles in the mix. Then when I assembled them, I added picante sauce and a bit more cheese. I wrapped mine in foil then put into the freezer. When i heated it, removed the foil, then wrapped the burrito in paper towels for about 2 minutes. They were delish. The extra cheese and picante sauce added moisture as they have a tendency to dry out.

We eat our burritos at home so I assemble and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then I place the cookie sheet with all the burritos in the freezer for about 6 hours or so. Then I just put the burritos in a gallon sized freezer bag all together and they don't stick to each other.

Tip for kids lunches: we buy condiment packages in bulk off Amazon. Let's kids pick what they put on and no risk of things being soggy. We get everything from butter to relish.

Love that you reuse ziplocs and the bread bags! I put my Saran wrapped burritos back into the tortilla bag and it works great!

I dice several onions and then store in a quart baggie in the refrigerator to use all week for several recipes. Just knowing I have diced onions motivates me to make something delicious. Once when we were going on vacation, I chopped up onions, peppers, and carrots and froze the. Because they wouldn’t be good when we returned. That worked well.

I had a bunch of onions that I was worried wouldn’t get used up so I diced them and froze them. They work so well! Even in fresh recipes like pasta or potato salad. I won’t go back to chopping fresh onion every.single.time. I need it!

For your non-stick griddle - the propellant they put in cooking spray breaks down the non-stick coating on pans. To make them last longer, brush on oil.

I use a silicone brush and ghee. It naturally has a layer of liquid butter at the top since we have such a warm house 😊

When I make french toast I like to use the cinnamon raisin bread and I like to add cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla and a splash of milk... we are a Miracle Whip family all the way!!

How big is your family? I'm single, but disabled, so on good days I cook in batches, but on pain days I need something easy to eat. It's so nice to have something homemade when you feel bad!

Great idea to put a grocery bag in the garbage bowl so that you can just tie it up and throw away. This is what I call smart and lazy. Smart because you can easily throw it away and lazy because you don’t have to wash the bowl. Since I only have a refrigerator/freezer, I usually only put leftovers in the freezer, like Taco Soup and red gravy. Once I made a meat loaf and cooked half and put the other half in the freezer. I think I will make up a few crock pot bags. It’s just me and hubby and a separate freezer is no longer needed. When our children were home, we had an extra freezer. Now, we make due with the freezer in our refrigerator.

Ooooh! Great idea. Thanks for sharing this hack. I appreciate it.

Have you seen the reusable sandwich bags? They are made out of silicone and you can wash them when they bring them home. That would work well for sandwiches in the fridge for the week.

We used to wrap our breakfast burritos in cling wrap too, but the fold top baggies work just as well, and they are WAY faster!

I wrap mine individually in tin foil that way I can put the whole thing in the oven. From freezer to oven.

I am totally with you on the SPAM issue. I shutter when I think of it. Both my parents worked while I was growing up and my older sister would make us SPAM for dinner so often. And she made it every way possible.

I do something similar with the breakfast burritos, except i go ahead and wrap them in a papertowel then wrap with cling wrap and stick in a zippy bag. It keeps the cling wrap from sticking and if there's any moisture from the bag it catches in the papertowel and sort of steams the burrito when it cooks.

You and Derek are so sweet, with a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

A few things I do to save time is mix the prepared ingredients together, then 1 scoop and roll. I also wrap in parchment paper and microwave them in it. Best part is dollar tree is selling parchment paper. I use a square of the paper and roll on the diangle (hope that is the right word). Example how restaurants roll thieves. Love watching

Thank you for this video. I am starting a new job and will be doing 12 hour shifts. This will help immensely, for me and for my kids - they do not go back to school until Sept 8 as I am in Canada ;) Side note: I love Desperate Housewives too. I may start watching it after I finish Sons of Anarchy.

I just love these freezer meal ideas so I can try a few of them and see how the family likes them ...

Dukes mayo for the South Carolinian’s, soak finger in epson salt for the soreness.

French Toast: eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, pinch of salt, and pure maple syrup

I just love & look forward to your videos. Thank-you for sharing your story & life with us.

Everything looked amazing can't wait to try all of these thank you so much for the new resipes

Such a sweet family, I really enjoy watching she's in her apron!

Your teaching method is approachable and practical. I appreciate that!

Thank you, I've been following for a while, but you are truly helpful with ideas. Regarding meals for make ahead. I'm going on a trip soon to visit family. My hubby and son will be home working. Neither are big cooks so you are helping me on prep. Breakfast. Most of these items I keep regularly on hand.

I'm making breakfast bowls today for my husband today, but the breakfast burritos sound good to thank you for the tips.

I love your tip about having something on the TV in the background. I do this with KZread and podcasts.

I like to add almond extract to my French toast.

I always look forward to your videos. I learn valuable lessons and to keep going no matter what life throws at you. I like how real you are. You share things that most would not. Anxiety is tough yet you manage it and take care of your family. Thank you for sharing this with us.

You seriously are amazing and do so much! I have a lot of catching up to do! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!!

I am listening to your channel when doing my home tasks:)so motivational and inspiring. Thank you for what you are doing!

It’s like you read my mind! My son starts school tomorrow and I’ve been rewatching your old freezer meal videos for ideas. Thank you!

This is so great. First of all, it brings back memories of when my kiddoes were little and we cooked more like this. Second, your recipes actually gave me some ideas for some things I have in my freezer right now - you just helped me make dinner, so thank you!

Hi Kimmy! I love watching your videos...I'm an empty nester at this point in my life but I still use so many of your tips and recipies. For myself I have the cutest mini crock pot and I make single crock pot portions and freeze them so I still eat well! It's not always a priority to cook for myself so these help and make sure I still get real meals! Also I still make a few big crock pot meals so when the kids , grand kids come by I have time to visit with them and not stuck cooking in the kitchen!!! Thank you for being such an inspiration.

We always put shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese in our breakfast burritos, with the eggs and bacon or sausage. I don't think I have ever had a burrito of any kind without cheese, LOL! A little bit of honey in your French toast batter is very delicious!! I love your apron. It is awesome!

Wonderful freezer meals for back to school and beyond love it.

I remember 7 years ago I was on vacation we where driving home and I put freezer meals on KZread that’s when I found your channel and I e loved your videos ever since! God bless you! 🤗

I have just recently found your channel and I love it! I don’t have kids but I love watching meal prepping videos and getting some food inspiration anyway. I love your chatting while you’re preparing food, your encouragement for busy people to get help by using some pre-made ingredients where they can and the joy you radiate through your videos. Love from Australia xx

You are soooo knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks for sharing!

Hubby and I filled our freezer up yesterday. After a bad week with my anxiety playing up it put me in such a good place for this new week! I'm here to find some more meals to add to our list 🤓🗒🖊

Thanks for sharing these great freezer meal ideas. We love that vegetable chopper and we will order one soon. We only cook for two so we do a lot of freezer meals using our leftover casseroles. Marie and I have been watching your channel for years and love all of your videos. Have a fantastic weekend, Calvin and Marie

I listen to my headphones when I prep: music, audiobooks, podcasts. Now that I’m back to work plus 2 nights per week I work out and the classes run 6-7 then 8-9, so I love freezer meals. Ty, these are all great!

You really are amazing...fresh from the move, kitchen looks great, you look rested - and now freezer meals! Wow!

French toast - eggs , heavy cream, French vanilla creamer, brown sugar, cinnamon dash of salt. Delicious!!!

Love that you reuse the plastic bags the bread or sandwich rolls come in! I do that with tortillas bags also when I make burritos.

Thank you for these recipe ideas. I enjoyed the video. You have a lovely kitchen.

Oh, your Decoration on the Wall behinde you is so beautiful!

I use my chopper a lot and sometimes chop a whole bag of onions .bell peppers and freeze before the holidays. It’s a blessing when I’m making three or four dressings .

Yay! Perfect timing to post! 😃 I just finished editing my meal prep pasta bakes and so excited to see your vid pop up! 😍

I love this video, very helpful! Thank you!

You are great loves your prepping im learning a lot.

Friday starts a weekend of food prep to take me through to end of October approx 80 days of food. Today I sat for 3 hours drawing up a meal plan then writing down ingredients required then a shopping list. Final step 85% of the required ingredients ordered. Some ingredients are needed fresh. Tomorrow will start drawing up a cooking plan to get everything done by Sunday.

French toast tip: lay the bread slices in a lasagne pan and pour the egg mixture over before cooking, you don’t have to spend so much time dipping in the bowl and the egg soaks in really well.

Loved all your recipes for the freezer for back to school. I have used your Hurry Up Chicken so many times and all have loved it. On our last Costco haul be bought Kirkland Seasoned Roast Beef and really liked it. Sorry on your little finger. I did another finger in a different way, and kept putting a bandaid over the nail, can not say if it did any good, but it helped to do work with it on, but not much for the pain. Stay Safe till the next.

Love love love your videos I watch Yr vids all the time you really help to get me motivated, I'm really getting into Yr plan ahead freezer meals your right such a great idea for taking the stress out of every day life ❤️

I’ve got my Walmart list going and I ordered that cookbook. Thank you SO much for doing all of this. I enjoy your videos so much.

Have you ever tried adding some orange juice and zest to your French toast egg dip? It’s fantastic with the cinnamon. We add zest to the syrup while it heats too. So good!

Love this meal planning video. We love cinnamon, splash of vanilla and a splash of sweet Italian cream coffee creamer. I know sounds odd, but delicious. I'll try adding nutmeg next time, sounds good. I love having cooked ground Turkey or sausage on hand in the freezer. Great for quick meals to toss in spaghetti, tacos, enchiladas, burritos or burrito bowls, chili, etc...

For your Herbs de Provence Chicken, try putting the chicken and sauce in a bag to coat it properly before putting the chicken in the tray. Or maybe a large rectangular container with a lid that you can shake and coat the chicken that way. I love your videos 😍 Michelle.
