Welcome and thanks for the feedback! We often split our regular recipes into something smaller for the singles in our lives, but they are included within our other videos, rather than have another dedicated video for that. But you're right - it's definitely a need out there. I'm sure there will be more meals for one and two in our future. Stay tuned!

Awesome Job! I'm so glad I found you, this is exactly what I'm looking for for my teenage sons.

It is easier to write on the bags before filling them with food!!! Also, there is no need to have different videos for smaller and larger servings. Just reduce or increase the amount of ingredients. Since you never make very large portions, it is better to keep the amount of food the same, and simply split it into more containers or bags. Preparing a lot of food when prepping freezer meals just means going for longer periods between preps.

You can also put them over nacho chips and add cheese for easy nachos

There are so many things I like about your videos, and especially this one. I am one of the ones who has been waiting with bated breath for another Single Serve version and you did not disappoint! I love how real you are - chatty, forgetful, improvising and honest. Also, appreciate all of the tips and tricks. It's like you give me permission to cook what and how I want which may not necessarily have been accepted by conventional cooks. I do have a question - For dishes like the Alfredo Tortellini do you put the foil dishes in the oven with the cardboard lid? I have always been afraid that they would catch on fire. I usually put foil on and then the cardboard lid for the freezer (makes it firmer for stacking) and then I just have to take the cardboard off and it is already to go in the oven.

@FreezerMeals101

3 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad to hear you find the videos helpful! Yes, I put them in the oven with the cardboard lid on them but I make sure the lid is turned foil side up. I've never had issues with them catching on fire that way. But if you don't have a foil side on your lid, then I'd remove it before baking.

I’m in America, 1 quart is 32 ounces or 0.94 liter. Gallon is 128 ounces or 3.78 liters if that helps 😀 my mom was born in Toronto, LOVE Canada!!!!

Thanks for the love! Do you eat the same thing all week because it's all leftovers? Or do you need to for some medical reason? So many of our meals can easily be divided into smaller portions for singles and couples and that can offer variety throughout your week without days of leftovers. I'm glad you still like to cook. It's often hard to cook for one.

That's a strategy I hadn't thought of for not having to touch the raw meat. Thanks for sharing!

After you cook and cool them down, I would put them on silicone baking mats on cookie sheets and pop them in my freezer for about 6 to 8 hours and flash freeze them unless you’re singly putting them into their own individual Ziploc bags they will stick together if you just stick them in a Ziploc bag together because once they’re frozen, they will stick together like that so I highly recommend that you put them on parchment paper or silicone baking mats on cookie sheets in your freezer for up to eight hours and then put them into Ziploc bags that way they do not stick together I do this also with homemade Turkey burgers and homemade black bean burgers and an array and assortment of other things that I cook that way nothing sticks together in the bag.

Great ideas, I must clear out the freezer to prep my freezer. You Kondo'd yours!🤗 Edit: I've enjoyed using prepared and frozen French beans as a substitute for garden peas. It gives a nice "bite/crunch" You're half way - "woosta Shah sauce" yay 🎉 Love your channel 💞

How long do you cook a single serve frozen tortellini in the oven?

Hi! I see the chili recipe says 6 servings. How much is a serving? I have jars I want to use instead of bags but need to know if they're big enough. My bonus chili add in: cook up elbow macaroni and add that plus extra chopped celery, bell peppers then mix in frozen corn. You can add cheese to top then you have a chili mac casserole. The corn is esp. good when using black beans in the original chili. TIA!
