Hi again Kim! Apparently we love all the same youtubers!

My friend wanted to give me a shower when I was expecting twins and was on bed rest (so I couldn't be cooking). So I asked for a freezer meal shower and it was so helpful especially with 6 weeks bed rest and 2 weeks of nicu.

Batch cooking for others during a Pantry Challenge shows just how prepared you are! And I don't think buying groceries as a gift should be against the challenge rules. Sorry about the rice, Becky. Hope you salvaged some of it.

[@jessicalauren3845]

Girl these freezer meal videos have been a game changer for me; I live by myself and own + operate a professional cleaning business- so the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook a meal and make a mess in my kitchen. Couple sundays ago I made 10 recipes that I doubled and froze … haven’t had to cook in weeks and it’s been a life saver 🙌🏼💓 thank you for sharing all your hard work with us!!!

[@michelleprice5195]

Jessica may I ask what you put your freezer meals in. Its just my husband and I and I hate to make big meals in one pan and waste them. thank you

[@jessicalauren3845]

@@michelleprice5195 I divide one big meal into two small freezer zip lock bags :)

[@jdp6ofus]

@@michelleprice5195 I went from cooking for 7 to cooking for 2-3. I discovered that splitting a recipe into bread loaf pans or similar size to freeze/bake later or quart size baggies or even quart or pint jars (if I was refrigerating it for use in 3 days) to cook in a smaller crock pot or instant pot meal made just enough for a hearty meal and lunch leftovers for 2-3 of us. Dollar Tree has 3 square plastic lidded freezer containers for $1 or $1.25 that also work well and stack or I bought bulk single/double serving size plastic ware online. I reuse the plastic containers until they crack. I'm trying to switch to glass freezer dishes, but cost...I check yard sales & resale shops and slowly am building my glass supply.

I’m just here to tell you how much respect I have for you! I’m a mom and a nursing student and was losing the “what’s for supper?” game almost every night. I decided to prep 20 meals after getting inspired by you and Holy. Cow. You make it look so effortless! I did the smashed chicken and honey mustard chicken marinades last night, and tonight I made your beef stroganoff, sweet and sour meatballs, and chicken and a biscuit and I am worn out! It actually didn’t take that long though, just a lot of leg work, and I’m so happy I’ll have all that time back, plus some not having to worry about supper for the next month.

Soooooo much easier. Great video. Will be watching a lot more of your stuff.

Gifting food is also my love language. A co worker (single mom of 2 young boys) just lost her mother. I plan on bringing her some fajita soup and corn bread with cookies when she gets back from NY. It's crazy how much a simple meal can bring you comfort when you're down.

[@de6klompjes108]

We have a special nurse who comes for 8 days to take care of baby and momma and mine always made soup and prepped veggies so we only needed to turn on the stove to cook it. She also cleaned our beds, and made sure the house was clean/hygienic. They were the best and made recovery so much smoother. After those 8 days my husband would take two weeks off to spend time with us and take over those tasks

This is such an amazing Baby shower gift. I should really do this for friends. I normally do bring over a meal or give them an Uber Eats Gift card but I think getting a list of a few meals they would love to have and make those so they have more then just the single meal.

Becky, you are such a good sister. Delivering a baby takes a lot out of you. Not to mention the broken up sleep and all the other fun things mom’s endure the first few months. My children are in their 40’s but it’s nothing you forget. I’m sure she’ll really appreciate the love and energy you put into these meals. She’ll feel spoiled and wish you would continue it lol.

We think the same. We are retired. I always make our favorite meals and divide them into freezer containers for future meals. I have a nice stack of meals to enjoy each with two portions. I can have five or six different kinds of meals to enjoy. I love to cook, but not every day. I hope that people will start doing this no matter where they are in their journey of life. Thanks for pointing this out. We have never eaten out several times a week. We can enjoy our favorites with these freezer meals. I dislike having to rush a quick meal when I'm tired from working out or in my garden. It's encouraging to know that I have one of your good freezer favorites ready when we are finished with work for the day. Taking a few hours to get these made and stored surely changes my mood!

[@lisagrafton2529]

For the first time ever (I'm 59 years old), I had my food processor out and made pie crust (loved it), but since it was out, I had 6 pounds of onions, so I peeled and cut them into chunks, and chopped them in the food processor! I carmelized some, and froze the rest, and I've already used almost all of them! In the past, I would have just used minced onion. I RARELY used fresh, because I thought it was too much trouble. Thank you for showing us, that with a little planning, we can prep onions and peppers, and a lot of veggies, to use in meals when we wouldn't normally have time to do it all the night we need to make something for dinner. Between you and Kim, from THE WADS, you've inspired me to do extra when the mess is already made, to save time and a mess that needs cleaned up later, doing the exact same prep again. In other words, do it once, and benefit from it many times! Thank you for your excitement in cooking. It's contagious, and we don't need a vaccine for that! LoL!

[@desert_moon]

Congrats on the new niece!! That's what I do. If I make certain things I double up and freeze one. Sometimes we split something in half and freeze half. I only do it with some things, not everything. It's nice having a few backups when life gets busy. My dad always says (when you can't find something), "If it was in your ear you'd know!" 😂

[@lisagrafton2529]

You can reuse the sliced open vanilla beans you have. I made two quarts of vanilla 2-3 years ago and when one quart gets about 1/3 used, I fill it with rum and put it behind the other, and start using that one for awhile. I haven't gotten new vanilla beans during that time, and I've given small bottles away as gifts, so I've gone through a lot, but the beans still work (I can tell because I use white rum, which is clear, and it turns brown! You have a lot of vanilla beans in your bottle, so I'm sure you could reuse them several times! They're so expensive, so I feel they shouldn't be wasted. You may be surprised how long they last, especially if you get two bottles going, and keep topping off the alcohol, and rotating bottles, when it gets about 1/3 used.

DO NOT get rid of the vanilla beans. Just keep topping off. Add alcohol to the bottle and keep adding beans as you use them. I know someone that has been replenishing the same bottle for aver 20 years could be closer to 30.

Martha Stewart mentioned in one of her cooking videos she has had a large jar of vanilla in her pantry for many years that she just adds alcohol too. I used to make new batches, but since I heard that, I now just refill the same jar and I have added a few more vanilla beans too a couple of times.

[@melissaaiello774]

Love making meals for friends when they need an extra hand.

[@doubles1545]

Fasting heals. I recommend a lot of research before going over 24 hours, though, if you wish to try it. It can also be dangerous. The biggest concern is having the discipline to start very slowly once you begin eating again. The temptation to eat everything in sight is very real and very hard to resist. Up to 24 hours, you won’t hurt yourself, but longer fasts require some knowledge and care.

It only gets better everyone says. I have read where some people have had the same bottle going for over 30 years. They just keep adding beans and vodka. I started mine a year ago, and I am going to start a second bottle and just run them both that way. What a nice gift for your sister. The recipes look delicious. Thank you.
