EASY FREEZER MEAL PREP 30 MEALS RECIPES COOK WITH ME LARGE FAMILY MEALS WHATS FOR DINNER

[@christinesimmons3313]

Maybe you could do some filming of what the actual meals look like when prepared from the freezer and your planning so you don't end up with the same meal twice in a week?

[@AdalineZook]

Yes! I am taking photos to show you in next months video of the meals prepared from this month ☺️

[@tylerpace6517]

The complexity and variety is impressive. I'm single and I cook a big pot of a soup or chilli and eat it for a week. beans, rice, meat and veggies with a lot of random spices

[@natm1320]

I love that your meals are pretty healthy. Most meal preps include way too many processed foods. Thanks for the ideas. Trying to find postpartum ideas.

[@d.r.mcmanus9640]

This is the first freezer prep video where I feel like my husband and I would actually eat everything on it! Most of the time I can use a recipe or 2, but this is wonderful. For us, this would be 2+ months. Really thinking of stocking the freezer up for spring and do it again in the summer so we can not be cooking from scratch so much during the warm months. Great ideas!

[@ammerslo2632]

There she is!!! Yeah! I feel like ive been watching for you... Forever!!! Miss ya way too much! Your content NEVER fails!

[@AdalineZook]

So glad to back to filming!!

[@lisanicholson8426]

I love your freezer prep meal ideas! I’ve got a college student who lives in an apartment so I will be making a lot of these meals to fill her freezer!!!!

[@haley_me]

I don’t find many meals that my family would actually like & it also have a video for meal prepping! I have started HATING cooking so I’m trying to prep one day for a week or more. This is a life saver! Thank you for putting in the work to share this with all of us! I’ll be looking to see if you have more!

[@vee6976]

Loved this video! I’m due with a baby girl September 1st, I will be making a bunch of freezer meals for postpartum! Thank you for all these ideas. Timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

I'm so glad I found you,I am from Mennonite back ground..cooking is not my thing so I appreciate all this help !!! I had no brothers so I had to work out on the farm...

Girl thank you soo much for doing this 30 meals cause I wasn't able to get a lot of groceries and now I know I can spread out to more meals!

[@justrayena526]

My oldest son is 18 and plans to move out shortly after he graduates this Spring. I am going to share a link to your channel with him so he will have a good start on meal ideas, recipes, prep etc. I do what I can to teach him things, but your videos will help once he is on his own. It'll be one less thing for me to have to worry about, lol! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@keepingitrealUK]

It's amazing how different to other countries we are when it comes to meals and taste buds.

[@peterpiper5300]

do a video of actual serving the food - from frozen to ready to eat.

[@MFStarr]

These recipes look so good. I’ve been wanting some make a heads that were more than just casseroles so thanks for the great ideas.

[@krismoonoke08]

For shredding chicken, a hack I found helpful is using a handheld mixer. Saves a ton of time.

[@brittneyg8227]

Yes or even just your kitchen aid with the paddle attachment! And if you need to mix in salsa or sauces or spices do it in the bowl!

[@jessicamoylan]

This was so motivational I really need to do this today, with the kids being off school and constantly hungry I need to get my self organised. Thanks so much for sharing I love all of these my fave had to be the enchiladas 🙌🏼

[@miree512]

I loved this video, please make more monthly freezer preps! Also other types of meal preps, you’re always a great food inspiration 🥰

[@sslivelove66]

Has anyone tried making the enchiladas with plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? Obviously sour cream tastes better but I’m wondering if you would notice with the seasonings with the healthier swap. We are trying more healthy substitutes at our house recently

[@MrHampton20]

I would think it would be ok! I usually replace all cream cheese and sour creams with the plain Greek yogurt and it’s always been good! I did do the sour cream for this recipe and my daughter didn’t like it. But for my enchiladas I usually use just shredded cheese, chicken, green chiles, maybe some onions. I do plan to make them like this again minus the sour cream. Also a little tip! When I’m doing Mexican style food and am using the yogurt as a replacement, I like to add fresh squeezed lime juice or oil and it is SO GOOD! Adds a little flavor, zing and freshness!

[@theheartfelthomemaker9825]

Sitting here after I got all the house work done, heard my notification and was so excited!!!! I have a deep freezer so I am going to really love this video!!!

[@AdalineZook]

Perfect timing!

[@stacybaxley2798]

Where are ingredients & cooking times from frozen posted? These are all great ideas.

[@CrayolaCrack]

Press the wrap down on the food to get as much air out, then put the foil on. It helps with preventing possible freezer burn for the meals that have been in there longer

[@taylorgillespie3501]

I just went to the comments to find info on freezer burn- I thought the same thing about the press wrap!

[@Mr.vicious187]

I’ve been on a bulk occasionally finding time to meal prep but more often I find myself hitting a drive threw 1-2 times a day. It’s rough finding time while working to balance gym and and proper nutrition. I’m hoping freezer meal prep is the answer I almost bought factor meals but this seems way more budget friendly.

[@emmanye8985]

Just discovered your channel today! Gonna give it a go, with my family of 5. I love that you give low carb/keto options/suggestions as my son has to have a lower carb/sugar diet. I also have a veggie dodger for a husband so I most things end up with peppers and onions in (extra veg for me and the kids gets cooked on the day). My family prefers a red sauce, bolognaise (uk family) or a meat ragu if you’re American.

[@Joylove58]

Thank u so much gave me some many ideas for my family love it an help me save money.

[@windswepthomestead4851]

We have been looking for make ahead meals to make for families in our church. We had a lot of need for many meals this summer and I know that meals like yours will definitely elevate some stress.

[@diversekakes]

I would love for you to incorporate some meatless Monday meals!! You do a great job with your meal prepping! Your videos motivate me. Thank you 😃

I love how you show the sides so we know what you are serving them with. Definitely will try some of these x

I really enjoyed this video and I did subscribe so can’t wait to see what else you have a family of eight and I am trying to prepare to go back to nursing school in the fall so whatever planning I can do going to be helpful to thank you again. I hope you have a good day.❤

[@theheartfelthomemaker9825]

This video was everything!!! I am going to make a grocery pickup order and just do the whole meal plan, we don't eat pork so I'll just switch that out for something else. I am due with my 4th child in Feb so I am trying to find recipes I like now so that I can make up some freezer because I did not do that with the other three and I really think that would be a life saver for the first couple of months ❤️ Thank you so much.

[@AdalineZook]

I’m so glad this was helpful!! ☺️

[@justthethreeofus5055]

Congratulations for baby on the way! 😍 Please come back and let us know how your freezer meals taste after freezing/reheating! When I was pregnant with my first (and only) I knew I wanted to freezer meal prep but I was so overwhelmed. We lived in a tiny apartment at the time and had a tiny freezer to fill. Some of my freezer meals ended up being us buying the ready-made entrees at Costco that we knew we liked, the ones found in the deli section by the rotisserie chicken! Yum! These meals are too much for 2 adults so I just bought cheap foil containers at dollar tree and split them up then vacuum sealed them after they were frozen so that the food and container wouldn’t be smooshed. Vacuum sealing helped them last longer too! I will admit, making freezer meals this way was not by any means cheap, but it did work out wonderfully for us in between meals that I did have the energy to cook for or the “Pinterest fails” that I would try. LOL! Best of luck to you!

[@margaretbraun50]

Thanks for this video! Im thirty-two weeks pregnant with twins and really need to do this before they come!

[@limaozinhahallz]

Hello there, I’m so glad I’ve found this channel. I’ve been searching for some easy and yummy recipes for freezer meals. Am I just not knowing how to navigate KZbin or there isn’t a master shopping list for these?

[@kehlemurphy860]

Love all the pampered chef gadgets! I grew up in a pampered chef kitchen :)

[@AR-ft2ir]

I love red sauce/spaghetti sauce but we have a house divided because my hubby isn’t a fan. So I just make alfredo sauce so it’s easier. But here and there I’ll make some spaghetti sauce/marinara and pour over noodles if I’m craving it.

[@sharonyerrell3748]

Brilliant great ideas ,glad your back xx

[@yolandarodriguezcruz8030]

A breath of fresh air, watching you cook. It makes me wanna try for a week, but its only me and my husband

[@allyramos9071]

I do it for me and my hubby. Saves us so much time and money. Freezer meals last to 3 months. We started breakfast ones too 😋it's been a game changer

[@hbnpiano]

I want to do it for my husband and I as well! Just divide into smaller meals and use small pans. I already do this with lasagna. I made a double recipe that fits 2 9x13 pans. But I put it in 4 8x8 pans. Then we have half one night and half the next. You could also put into 8 loaf pans so it would be one pan per meal.

[@lynneanthony168]

I can't tell you how happy I am that I found you!! Our cooking style/tastes are totally in sync and I will definitely be trying some of your recipes. Cheers!! Signed, Your newest subscriber

[@meshiesno]

Potatoes are among the vegetables not recommended for freezing raw because of their high water content. However, par-cooking the potatoes by boiling or frying allows you to freeze potatoes without discoloration or mushiness. Blanch them in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath. Just thought I would share in case you did not know.

[@AdalineZook]

I have never had any problems with them being mushy or discoloring and I always freeze them raw ☺️

[@taylortsakopulos1216]

Glad you acknowledged the plastic use. As someone who has been going more low waste its interesting to see where people have access and ability to do better in.

Aluminum containers are 100% recyclable even when very dirty so you don’t have to feel bad about using them

Great job! You may want to consider freezing in one layer for a while before stacking for more m long term freezing. TFS

Love having freezer meals♥️ (be careful putting your hot lid on top of your glass top range- it can create suction from the heat and shatter your range top). Keep the videos coming- love your channel

[@JanaThompson-dd6pt]

I love the organization of ur meal prep! I would reconsider the shrimp dish. If I understand it correctly you were freezing it upon bagging it and 99% of shrimp are thawed already when you buy them (you either buy them frozen or “fresh” but those are almost always thawed and it should be stated on the label somewhere) - freezing and defrosting seafood twice in a row is borderline health hazard so watch out. Great efficiency to watch overall for sure! Great job!👍🏻

[@kelliebeam7424]

Love these ideas. Not sure if I missed it.....how do I get the amounts of ingredients for each recipe. Ty

[@maureen4787]

Nice freezer meals but I do foil first then plastic wrap around pans, it’s easier to just take off plastic wrap, then pop then oven.

[@hbnpiano]

Same! But the plastic would stick better to just the pan, I think! I always have to wrap the plastic all the way around the pan, over the foil. That seems a waste, so I will try Adaline's method next time😊

[@Adventureswithamy18]

Great recipes! Thanks for sharing! Have you ever used the plastic bag holders while filling them? I got mine off of Amazon and I love them!

[@AdalineZook]

No I haven’t! I might need to try them!

[@Lucy-ri6ne]

I just came across your channel, it really encouraged me to meal prep which I've never done before. I only meal prepped 10 meals, it took me about 5-6 hrs. I'll have to be better organized next time. I did make the Poor Man's Patties and Sour Cream Ckn Enchiladas. We had the enchiladas last night and they were delicious, but way too much for just me and my husband so we'll be having leftovers this week, so getting 4 meals out of that. So I guess that increased it to 12 meals. WooHoo!!!

There is only two of us left here in New Zealand. My Mum passed away Boxing Day 2020) so it's up to me to do most of the cooking as my Dad can make scrambled eggs and packet Alfredo. The reason while I'm living back in my parents home is because eleven years ago when I was 32 my specialists gave me two years to live due to many illnesses and complications. My health means that I have to force feed myself and it's so painful. I love cooking so I helped Mum to cook their meal (my health means I'm on a soft diet so I prepare my food separately). All this to say that I still cook the same amount and I portion and freeze the extra servings. It means that on days I'm in too much pain or bedridden Dad can reheat the meals to avoid him having to just grab something easy. A few weeks ago I purchased a dehydrator knowing that I'll have to have liquids only and my idea is to dehydrate veges, make a powder and add it to things the soup or smoothies. To go with that I b

I always think if you cook dinner fresh over freezing it so much better quality.

[@MrHampton20]

I have made a good few of these meals and haven’t noticed a difference in the fresh vs frozen. I think it depends how well you seal and how long it’s frozen and if your freezer has any inconsistencies. These have been a very tasty lifesaver for my girls and I the few days we’ve been sick. Still having homemade meals, but very little effort! And less dishes!😅♥️ Thank you Adaline!🎉 God Bless you!
