I would put the BBQ sauce in the chicken then use the vinegar to get the rest of the sauce out of the bottle. 😊 I found a cream of bacon at my local dollar general, it took my tator tot casserole to a whole new level.

I am picking out some of these recipes, but I'll have to do a little more prep and such than you guys. I don't like jarred or processed sauces, so I'll have to make my sauces first and then do the meals prep. I'm trying to cut out as much pre-made foods as much as possible. I'm collecting recipes and organizing myself for a shopping day, then prep, prep prep! I usually buy lean 3 pound ground beef chubs out here when they go on sale for about 10 bucks each and do about 100 meatballs (baked and frozen in packs of 18 (just 3 of us), burgers, meatloaf and packs of pre cooked beef. Also meals have to be low carb and low sugar as I'm a Type 2 Diabetic this past year. You guys have got me excited to freezer meal again. I did it before when I was pregnant, I was nesting and the theory was to Heat-eat-sleep. Easy meals that could just go in the oven to heat up and my hubby could make a salad to go with it. It was such a blessing, because I'd had a C-section too. Fridge freezer is getting cleaned out and it's going to be mostly freezer meals now! I just "warned" my husband that I'm going to be making a HUGE shop, will have to go into the city to Costco! Thanks from another Sharla!

Yes, you probably could do that to save space, unless it's needed as a marinade. But then, you could still add it as it's thawing and allow it to marinate. There's no "right way" for many of our recipes.

Hello! How do you figure out the financials for cooking together and sharing meals? In one video you said something about not buying certain things because they were in your pantry. Does that get figured in it is it just a matter of “close enough?” IAlso, maybe it’s a USA/ Canada thing, but what you can “flat freezing,” we call “flash freezing.” Kinda cool💙
@FreezerMeals101
3 жыл бұрын
We kind of go with a "close enough" when it comes to using things from our pantries. Quite honestly, we don't even do up the receipts anymore because we had so many times where her grocery lists (Costco and Bulk Barn) were within a few dollars of mine (local grocery store) that we just stick to our system and know that it all works out in the end. But when we used to do up the math, we would take our receipts and cross off anything bought for personal use (toilet paper, snacks for our kids, etc.) and then divide up the rest.

Of course we still eat fresh vegetables too, but for right now in our lives, the convenience of frozen vegetables (which are still healthy for you, by the way) outweigh the work of preparing fresh vegetables from scratch every day.

I'll attempt to defend it by saying butter chicken from scratch is a big process! The Costco butter chicken tastes amazing and is easy. For those that don't mind using a jar of sauce, it's great. For those that want to skip it to make it from scratch, they are welcome to it. For me, the trade off is that I get to have two meals in my freezer that I wouldn't have had if I had to make it from scratch and that works for me. ❤️ Thanks for watching!
