[@ladylunagardening7720]

I used to work for A take & bake pizza place for my first job (many many moons ago) and we wrapped the dough, breadsticks, cinnastix, and pizzas in Saran Wrap. So I learned how to be a pro at how to get it done easily as well. My life partner jokes that this is one of the reasons he will be with me forever because he HATES trying to use Saran Wrap/ clingwrap. :D

[@aleahchoo]

I dont even have a family but I'm obsessed with these videos 😅

[@rachelmick4051]

I promise if you parboil your radishes for 5 minutes before roasting, it makes them a lot closer to tasting like potatoes.

[@jillygirl2024]

This is a great tip thanks

[@TinasArtPage]

also butter & oil pan roasted works too!

[@Lady_Ryl]

The Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas is the same recipe that my Mother in law taught me after I got married lol. I have since modified it by adding rice to the filling. My family likes it better and rice is cheep so I get more for less money. Freezer meal idea: My family LOVES lasagna, I hate making it (way too much prep work) so when I do make it I make up enough for 5 lasagnas. The prep is same amount of work, I then line up the 5 dishes and assemble them all at once, 1 goes in the oven and 4 into the freezer :)

[@michellemmanese_]

the tiny "thank you" at 19:36 added years to my life. huhu. cute.

[@anac645]

In France we don’t bake radishes. Actually we eat in as a little « entrée » (before the main course). We put salt in our plates and dip ou radishes in it and we eat it with butter spread on bread. Sooooo good!

[@Mommy2Cierra]

That sounds yummy! I saw Ina Garten on Food Network do a veggie tray like that with the radishes so thats how I eat them too now 😉

[@anac645]

Cindy Hobson Jackson I’m glad you like them that way! 😁

[@virginiablasi7109]

Yes and my German grandfather always eat radishes with salt and butter on a very dark firm bread. It was soooooo good

[@MeganLauriana]

I just had my 4th babe in March and I'm realizing freezer meals are going to save my life. I have one seven year old and three babes under four. I was trying to cook a multi-course meal (pork, rice, veg) a week ago and of course the baby woke up and needed to nurse and it was just a whole stressful thing! The nights I pull out a freezer meal my house and I are so much more calm. Thanks for these recipes! I'll have to give them a shot.

[@mads855]

Yes! I'm having my second baby in a few weeks and I'm trying to prep my freezer for postpartum

[@emmahayden9362]

Do people realize that freezer meal are the old tv dinners.

Heck Yep

[@kimbarbeaureads]

This is a great video. The next time someone has a baby, goes to the hospital, etc. I'll have some ideas for meals to bring them.

[@laurenrozzi6931]

Ravioli lasagna is my favorite freezer meal! Cheese (or meat or spinach) raviolis layered with red sauce and more cheese, throw it in a 425 degree oven for like an hour, lasagna but half the work!

[@adagioborntrager4456]

Agreed! Super delicious and easy to throw together!

[@raquellambropoulos279]

Im Italian. This would not even come close. Its baked ravoli not lasagna. Cooking lasagna is not work for me. Its love for my family and pride actually. Nothing wrong with short cuts i hear you especially for working moms and i love baked ravioli. No shame in preparing it. But lasagna is just something I enjoy making and it is a family recipe so makes me happy. Im blessed to still have my nana she is 93 but back home in Chicago. I moved to Nevada. So when homesick i get out my pot to start homemade sauce.

[@robertadoughty1392]

I loved this video. I am thankful, that I didn't have to process 40 pounds of chicken in 3 days, however, Congratulations on scoring that much chicken at such an amazing price.

[@abimol3802]

Thanks for the freezer meals! My husband has become a huuuge fan and every night before bed, he tells me to put 'Frugal Christine' on to see what you cooked today. He hated any dish I made with beans, and told me to make BLACK BEAN STEW after he saw your bean and rice burritos

[@teresarichardson3869]

Love the freezer meals, I'm 59 and disabled and I don't have the air and energy to stand snd cook for myself and my autistic son so I love just putting these together to freeze. Thank you so much.

[@karined.c.4878]

I just ADORE your meal prep videos. They are just sooooo satisfying to watch. Who the hell is able to cook that much chicken without getting bored?? Kudos Christine, Love you and your channel !

[@Mommy2Cierra]

🤣 LOL @ getting bored cooking that much 🐔 chicken! That would be me no doubt! 😉

[@brainstuff555]

Sometimes it is the only meat you can afford. Or you can mix it with other more expensive meats to use for meatballs, meatloaf, fillings for lasagna and stuffed vegetables. That keeps you from tasting just chicken. Actually because of it’s low fat it is probably the protein I most use even if eating out.

[@dranger2010]

I am so glad you shared this! I just scored one of those 10lb bags of chicken leg quarters for only $3.00 on clearance at my local Kroger today so now I have a TON of chicken.

[@marywatkins6798]

I love Dave's "Yes Ma'am!"

[@TheKerryBerry01]

I loved this freezer meal video! Even though I only live with my boyfriend I still find it easier to prep a bunch of meals at once so its ready to go.

[@raquellambropoulos279]

Yes just prepare in individual servings. So many times after work you don't feel like cooking and end up with an unhealthy meal that didn't even taste good and cost too much money. This is a way to avoid it. Even for those who live alone.

[@amypletcher4411]

@@raquellambropoulos279 I thought of that when I first saw a freezer meal prep show l believe from Pioneer Woman on her episode once. First thing came to mind was preparing for my dad or mom since dad was handicapped, now passed away. Then my mom which has dementia but she is in a nursing home. I have done for our direct family and boy it has helped on those busy sport nights or just too tired and don't want fast food. I love making meals ahead!!

[@maureendavidson8264]

I love watching you cook, using up whatever you have on hand. Awesome prep work to make mealtimes easier, faster.

[@annettecarolherbst]

That cilantro lime marinated chicken looks amazing. All the recipes look good but that one stood out to me

[@nicoledebus6572]

I love your dinner ideas! So simple yet creative!

[@gordiennedavis2264]

I did like this chicken freezer meal prep cause I just got 32 chicken thighs for $4 and being a single household I need to freeze some small meals. You gave me so many ideas. ❤

lol I just love how your family express themselves around food. it makes me smile

I'm with you Christine on freezer prep meals. You make it look so easy...and fun. It's smart to plan ahead for times when you don't feel like cooking or have no time. Great video!

[@renedaley4866]

I've just discovered your channel - literally this evening. Loved watching several of them. Liked this one so much. Wish I'd thried these preps when my kids were still at home.

[@bellaboopixi]

It's only my fiance and I lol but you inspire me to try to make more frugal choices and stretch my dollar. My next shopping trip is a stock up with you in mind

[@sarahbethh7783]

I love this. We don't have time to cook from scratch every night after work, so I've been meal prepping and stocking the freezer. Just have to put one on the counter or in the fridge in the morning, and by the time we come home it's ready to go in the oven. Thank God for real food every night!

[@dianemorgan5482]

I like the meal prep videos because they give me ideas on what to fix. We do a low carb/keto diet so I have to modify a lot of things but it is still nice to have a starting point.

[@Mummakat]

Thanks for all the new ideas! I’m working on next weeks meal plan so saw this video just in time! 🙌

I love doing black beans 'Cuban style' -- saute diced onions and green peppers in oil, dump in the beans, add Sazon complete seasoning, minced garlic, S&P, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup water per 2 cups beans -- simmer until it cooks down to thickness desired. So flavorful! Leftovers freeze/reheat well, too.

Sesame Street was the bomb! I watched Jen Chapin's video last night & she had on a Sesame Street t-shirt. I just bought the cutest Sesame Street t-shirt myself 2 days ago.

My all time favorite thing to do with chicken breast is to marinade it in the freezer but with a blend of the following ingredients : Soya sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, pepper, salt, onion powder. I normally cube it and eat it in burrito/taco form !! It is a family and friend favorite!!! Would love to see you try it !

[@sherilynalexnder897]

All of those meals look amazing! I've made the chicken taquitos twice now, since watching an older FFM vid and my kids LOVE them, so thanks! My fave marinade for 'ready to grill' chicken is Asian sesame or teriyaki. I make broccoli salad to go with -- Saute 2 beef ramen noodle packets (smash noodles while still in packaging w/kitchen mallet), 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds in a stick of butter until noodles are lightly golden. Dump two bags of broccoli slaw in a big bowl, then toss with dressing (mix in separate bowl): 3/4 cup olive oil, 2Tb red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 of the beef ramen spice packets, pepper to taste. Add the noodle/nut mixture and toss again. SO good when you want crunchy, and it keeps well for 2-3 days.
