This! This is what I was looking for. I work 12 hours a day, so workdays I DO NOT want to cook when I get home. Bonus since it’s just me, I can eat half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. Much healthier than takeout everyday. Thank you.

I have followed you from the beginning, I've been trying to my kids & grandkids to use these recipes. They said they didn't room in the freezer! Grandma got them a small freezer for these meals! Mom so excited, she's setting up the pantry! Last time I visited I brought my favorites, ones I thought the boys (teens) would like!! The boys love to make their bags, they can have a hot meal after school before they go to work or sports. Mom & dad work odd hrs & she loves not being awakened because someone's hungry. Grocery bill down, eating healthier instead of junk food! Still have their ramen bowls , healthy noodles, hand full of fav vegetables mix.

I just found your video by accident and am so glad I did. Being a widow and a Sabbath observer (i.e., do not cook on the Sabbath), I sometimes find that either I don't have the energy to cook for the Sabbath (which must be done before twilight on Friday), which means that I buy "catering", which is super expensive. You system is absolutely brilliant and I look forward to trying it. So, I just wanted to say thank you.

Your beef ,barley stew sounds really good. Need to check and see if i have any left Tip I buy the canned tomato past and measure out by tablespoons and freeze then wrap and put in a zip b\g,I chop my celery,onions and bell Peppers. freeze in containers or zip bags. Always have it ready to measure and add to all recipes.Sure comes in handy in the winter when you want fresh and the prices go up. I do buy the minced garlic in a jar to have on hand. I have adapted a lot of recipes to 20 min skillet meals especiallu stuffed bell peppers use chopped bell peppers and uncooked rice add probably 1 cup or so extra of water put a lid on and cook till rice is done.

Buy caned tomato pate. Cut out both ends of the can. Push the paste out of the can by pushing against one end pushing the paste out in a roll onto a piece of plastic wrap big enough to wrap the whole roll of paste. Slice off the can lids from the ends. Gently wrap the paste roll in the plastic wrap and then place in freezer. You can take the frozen paste roll out and unwrap, slice off what you need ,rewrap and store in freezer again. No waste.
