Let’s all watch a few of her videos and let the commercials run so she can replenish what she just lovingly shared with us!!

[@shellyturner2766]

I enjoy your content, but don't be bullied into using up what you set aside for your family to satisfy us virtual friends. ❤️

[@BrendaAnderson73]

Absolutely. We all “pretend played” as kids. Just hold up a can and act like you are using it. LOL. We will get it. We can read your instructions from the note cards inside the bag. These are great meals. Please don’t feel obligated to use your emergency supplies. It would break my heart if you were in a situation and needed the things you used to show us. ✌🏼❤️

[@mousiemomma9457]

Absolutely! I would fix one MAX. If people can't understand that they are LITERALLY emergency food then that's a them problem.

[@zoraidacruz549]

I just enjoy watching the kids taste test the food. Reactions are Priceless. Aloha from Hawaii🌈🍍

[@LayzeeDae]

I definitely wouldn’t consider actually using them up right now when you never know what’s gonna be out of stock on the shelves tomorrow

[@metoo5004]

We appreciate you..... these are great

[@susanstacy2493]

Your children always seem so appreciative of the food that you fix for them which is good to see. A lot of kids take so much for granted and don't appreciate what they are given.

[@kellyhayden7715]

Seems to me if someone is concerned about fruits and veggies, one could add a can of veggies and a can of fruit to their meal kit-- hence, problem solved! AND there are low sodium canned goods that one could swap out if someone is concerned. LOVE these emergency meal kits-- they are so smart and could really help so many if the need arises. Best to be prepared than running around like a chicken with your head cut-off if an emergency comes your way. Thank you, Brooke, for helping out so many. You and your lovely family are a true treasure.

[@kerryberry142]

I think the kits would be great in an emergency when the person that mainly cooks can’t. Makes it easy for others to have all the ingredients together. Good job!

[@tinag596]

I have found that many that criticize the ingredients from cans for emergency have never been in a situation that shelf stable is only option. Appreciate the video great ideas to add to my stash. Have a great day!!!

[@kathyclarke6327]

Good girl calling out the haters. May they never be in a situation like this.

[@FindingMyLight]

I absolutely love these. The first time I have ever heard about these kits was from your video not so long ago. I am now working on making these for our pantry. I wish I had known about them 2 years ago, we just went through a horrible time with our finances due to losing jobs because of COVID and we ended up having to use a local charity for food. I wish I was more prepared than I was. Now I am determined to never have such a struggle to feed my family like we just went through ever again. I am preparing these because not are they only perfect for tough times, but for short term emergencies as well. Groceries are outrageously priced right now and when you are going through a tough time, knowing you can save money that you would use on groceries and use it for other bills, is a huge stress release. I hope you know how much I appreciate your videos and just how much it has helped me and will continue to help me as we get back on our feet and to build our pantry. You are truly a blessing

[@lindabeck3412]

I think everything looked delicious! I had a thought 🤔- I'm originally from Florida and during hurricane time we had a standard rule - if we are hit & lose power the first thing you eat is the ice 🍨 cream - lol! But also in any emergency & your freezer items are at risk you can add maybe the frozen broccoli in the broccoli casserole! Add your frozen meat in too! Thank you so much for all your videos!

[@dancieteague6854]

I saw at Wal-Mart a disposable casserole pans for fire pits or burns. They were thick package in 4. Thought that could be helpful. Thanks for all these ideas. I live in Texas in hurricane area and keep a good box. 5 years ago a storm came through and it took my whole town. It was what they called a 100 year should of never happened. Just glad my family got out alive. Great video. Love your channel.

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video and thank you for breaking into your stash of meal kits for us. You truly are an inspiration and a reminder that I need to be profoundly grateful. I can’t do it financially right now but as soon as I have the money set aside, rather than a 💲💲 donation to my local food bank, I am going to take this list to the grocery store and I’m going to buy the ingredients and donate them as “kits”. ❤️🤟❤️🤟

[@AuntVickiesCraftCorner]

Everyone say a special happy birthday to my wonderful neice Brooke today Aug, 19. I love you girl.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you, love you!!

[@michelletriplett3721]

So appreciative that you would break into your stash for us!! 🥰

[@kathyclarke6327]

Don’t use your butane. We can get the idea on a one burner stove🥰

[@barbarapfieffer297]

You can have veggies in your emergency kit. I use dehydrated vegetables from Harmony House. You can get garlic, onions, red and green peppers, diced and sliced potatoes, cabbage, green beans, carrots, celery and more. Great for emergencies, but I use them to make quick soups and stews with no waste or chopping time.

[@danesautismcookingclass9380]

Yay! I got 30 minutes before Homeschool starts what a great way to start the day a new video 😊 ❤️

[@vanessazahel7554]

I love these kits! I hope what people take away from this is that these kits can be tailored to individual budgets and needs. Can't have too much sodium? Just try and get lower sodium choices. Want more veggies? Add them. I have a daughter who's a Type 1 diabetic and we get the no-sugar-added fruits for the pantry. If you can afford to add canned meats like roast beef and pork (yes, there are cans of them. There's even pouches now!), then by all means do it. I would hope that people understand these are great either as they are or as a guide or inspiration for their own meal kits. Thank you for sharing!

[@kayengland3240]

For the broccoli cheese casserole maybe you could use a bag of the Bear Creek Cheddar Broccoli soup and just add the rice and maybe not as much water. I think I might try it that way just to experiment. Your recipe looked great. More videos like this please!!

[@midnightXwishes]

Only use your emergency stash in videos if they need used. Use the ones close to date, the ones you’d need to replenish anyways. That way they don’t go to waste, you rotate your stash, and you show how to make them. ❤️

[@breezelee203]

Great ideas, going to use the canned chicken, canned mixed veggies, cream of mushroom and the Jiffy biscuit mix to make a chicken pot pie. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tabby09]

I love this! I live in Florida near the coast so I need to start making these emergency food kits for hurricane season. Sometimes we can be without electricity for days!

[@karenhill1431]

These emergency meal kits are amazing and well thought out. Gonna make some for my granddaughter so I won't worry so much.

[@angelal6700]

Brooke--cooking in SHTF, I bought a 'rocket' stove, it burns anything while sitting in a cheap, Round bbq pit. ==1 'burner', but that's fine with a pan or a pot. [That rocket stove is also good for getting charcoal into a steady burn, pull the stove away & coals fall to cover Dutch oven, etc. Will slow cook stuff that essentially only needs to rehydrate and soften. Flavors to meld.] Actually cooking. REMINDERS!! •Rice, pasta, oatmeal can presoak and SHORTEN the cook time. Saves fuel. •liquids from canned veg & meat are edible, add flavor to the food. Save your 💧 💧 for 🚰. •liquids from canned fruit are good for flavoring drinking water/tea for children, for oatmeal.

[@raquelennis3584]

Love your quick response to everyone telling you how to cook 🤣 This is an emergency situation people 😂 everything looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@Loristhriftykitchenpantyr]

those meals look really good. I need to put some meal kits like that together every night when I have to decide what to make for dinner turns into an emergency l0l

[@katiegoodman87]

I love how much your boys appreciate the meals that you make ❤️

[@susanhoward5046]

A great video Brooke ! You never disappoint any of us here in KZbin land !! Bless his heart he loved that🥦🥦 casserole !! I'm so glad you share these emergency meals. I think we all are learning alot of tips from you...great tips. So many are struggling these day's w food on the table. I had a friend share that it is getting hard for them to put food on the table. Let's all pray 🙏 for everybody's grocery budget and that everyone has food on there table daily. ❤

[@beckystone7994]

Great emergency meals Brooke and it’s important that you go out of your way to make them as delicious as possible like you do, because when we’re in an emergency it’s important to have some comfort coming from somewhere and food is usually comforting to the tummy and the soul! Brooke I don’t know if you’ve ever done this but when I’m using canned chicken I use the water it’s packed in as part of the liquid in the recipe it adds more flavor and cuts down on the amount of other liquids you have to use! It’s just something I do when using canned chicken and canned tuna packed in water to stretch the flavor through out the food more! I love all your great meals you show us ! Thank you so much for all you do to bring us different ideas to stretch a dollar! 👍🙏

[@monica9606]

God love you girl! Let them people Google how to make it and you save your supplies. Life is so unpredictable these days and you don’t know when you gonna need it. Bless ‘em

[@dawnrock4675]

We just moved to Marianna, Fl in time for Hurricane Michael. This idea is fantastic. Don’t let complainers change you as you are awesome 🎉

[@crystallee1650]

I love how real you are. I can really relate to you and your lifestyle.

[@tondamccarthy6537]

I love your videos and appreciate what you are trying to do for your audience. Yes it is always better to prepare food from scratch with fresh or frozen ingredients but in true emergency situations sometimes you have to feed your family with shelf stable foods. It’s just a temporary fix for difficult situations. Again ty for showing people what to have on hand and how to use them. Great video

[@traceyzvirblis4909]

Awww Brooke, I had to pause your video at 3 & 1/2 minutes to quickly say I truly wish I was allowed to send you some Butane gas tins….here in Australia they are in plentiful supply atm. I talked hubby into buying a whole box (28) a month ago “just in case”. I’m not a person who preps long term, but could easily feed hubby & I for 2 months with what we have on hand, if needed. Because we live in a warmer area, we use our bbq & webber outdoors a lot. Now I’ll get back to watching the rest 😅😘 You are such a wonderful sweet girl for getting out of your comfort zone & doing this for your subscribers 🙏🏻😍

[@shellakers10]

These look really tasty for emergency situations! They look good for every day fast cooking too. Thank you!

[@yolandawebb3032]

I truly appreciate these videos, we are headed for HARD times and these will come in CLUTCH.. thank you

[@DalaineBloom-iw3ex]

I love to watch You, Brooke. You are soooo WONDERFUL!!! Thank You for sharing these with Us. People should understand that in an EMERGENCY THESE ARE AWESOME MEALS WHEN YOU MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO PRODUCTS AT YOUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE, Walmart or Dollar Tree. If they complain about Your using prefab, as freezedried and / or canned foods for an Emergency Situation; Then They will be unprepared!!! This recipes looked and sounded good. I know People at Your Home would feel SERIOUSLY BLESSED WITH SUCH ABUNDANT MEALS. Thank You again, Brooke for sharing Your talents with Us again. I love You and Your Family. GOD BLESS BROOKE, DUSTY, AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME SONS. Amen. ✝️🙏🏽❤️💕😊💕👋🏼

[@Chronicmom68]

Brooke, I can't tell you how much I'm loving your channel. I only found you about 2 months ago, but I'm obsessed and going thru all the older ones, too!

[@angelaferneau8280]

Its good to rotate them out one at a time to keep everything fresh

[@rickharks4515]

Hi this is Sue, all l am saying is,,,,,, Wow what a fantastic idea you have doing up these emergency dinners, my brain went to yes, have to do some up, and secondly, camping in the trailer, instead of take so much food with us and having to bring it home again, what isn't eaten, this is fantastic pre planned dinners. PS love all the Pioneer Woman stuff. FYI,, if you have dehydrated veggies, you can put some in a baggy and use them for extra veggies,

[@frugallifehappywife3993]

Great meal options for the emergency meals. I never thought about packaging specific meal ingredients in bags, gonna have to steal it lol

[@countycalling]

When we are at our off grid cabin I often use my grill as an oven and bake, I’m sure it would work with any casserole. I use it bake scalloped potatoes, Great meals, I have to go find where you made up these meals. I just started my meal kits for fall and winter at the cabin.

[@kellywoskett7211]

U r giving me some good ideas as my husband says we always seem to buy the same stuff which I said I think most families do.

[@ednaoldebeken3853]

You've found your God-given talent!! Thank you!! Don't hate me. Extra pepper =sawmill gravy from back in the day. Im talking way back in the day. I'm old, I be closer to dead. Shoot.

[@julieanneprice6033]

I think it might be fun to see you compare the emergency meal kit versus the homemade

[@lindacano437]

As a viewer from Kentucky...Amen sister!

[@moonbaby1985]

You can buy shelf stable canned meats, don’t forget about them

[@lauraguyette7187]

They all look so good

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

Very helpful!

[@Lulubluz]

Thank you for the tips

[@jentaylor1507]

You could use French fried onions in the Broccoli Casserole.

[@elainenicholls7648]

These are for emergency meals

[@jentaylor1507]

@@elainenicholls7648 I know she said she can't use real onions because it's not shelf stable.. French fried onions are dehydrated after frying and shelf stable.

[@treasurespastnpresen]

Or dehydrated. I dehydrated a bag of onions. Do it outside on a porch or garage.

[@ragdollpreppers2648]

Such great ideas thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@ammerslo2632]

Yeah🙌 TFS meal kits! I'm Soooooo excited. I look for these ideas all the time. Ty.

[@okiebrown6201]

What is TFS?

[@larryblocher3583]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@vickyasberry4496]

Love your ideas will definitely have to make some of these meal kits up 🥰

[@carisabundy6587]

This was so great! It really inspired me to start an emergency bin! Thank you.

[@suel.9151]

Thank you so much showing us and making the emergency meals! I really enjoyed it and appreciate it!

[@carriecreates1207]

You do a great job on your training classes! Thanks for sharing!

[@aimee2234]

Thanks, Brooke! When having mashed potatoes or white gravy, the more "Brooke" the better. Loved seeing the meals cooked. Adding things to my grocery list!

[@Tdavida92]

I finally started the $5 pantry this week. Thank You so much 😊

[@Randy8923]

Great ideas.

[@marshasiman5530]

In my emergency kit I have a bag of assorted spices. Garlic salt, powder; Onion salt, powder; chili powder; ground ginger ect. I find it very helpful.

[@Hollowhomestead]

I came across your channel over the weekend and I am so happy I did🙂 I love how real you are and you have such awesome ideas!

[@marianawarden7380]

Awesome job 👍👌 thanks for sharing

[@anitamullins9949]

We love pepper in our food too

[@tammifields4142]

All of the meals looked TASTY!😋😋

[@allthingsmandy]

Another great video! "Sally" ... Love it!!! 😀

[@melissakidwell7978]

I'm thinking canned chunked ham or shelf stable bacon pieces would be super tasty in the hashbrown casserole if you didn't have canned chicken

[@theresaaltongregg4569]

Cousin Brooke, just re-watched this video. Love the recipes, I ðid think that on the green beans , potatoes, gravy and biscuits, I know my guys will love. I'm changing one thing. You said drain the can of chicken ,I goings to put the chicken broth/ liquid in with my gravy mix to give it a more chicken flavor and use less water. I hate throw/ drain good flavor down my sink ,I do like to use it whenever I can. So thank you for all these wonderful recipes. My guys love the rice with cream soups. God bless you and your family ❤🙏

[@nancybrewer8494]

Just like the rest of the food in the pantry, you eventually have to use it and then replace it to keep the rotation going. I've got some #10 cans of freeze dried foods I'm going to use to make meals in a jar, so I can be sure to use them. Better to have a planned meal with your supplies than opening a big can and then trying to figure out what to do with it.

[@jessicamonday7966]

I love all your recipes, I'm going to write these down in my spiral book of recipes

[@metoo5004]

Love this.. I actually am trying to do that ☺️

[@cantunderstandfoolishpeeps2036]

these are great ideas especialy in an emergency!!

[@deborahcorcoran4475]

Also, I looovvvvve when u show us your preparing for emergencies meal kits!! And cooking instructions 😋

[@alexachenbach821]

[@tootieniswanger8667]

Thanks So much you always help me make dinner that night

[@elainenicholls7648]

Well done woman. Looks really good. As always watching from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@vickigibson438]

Love your salt and pepper thing.

[@trudepettigrew7339]

well, now I'll have to buy double. one for emergency and one for NOW!!! watching you son eat made me crave them even more. They all looked delicious! 😊

[@Jazzy.girl.Sarah2023]

Mmm that chicken cornbread casserole looked so yummy!!

[@rexcarebear4701]

I totally get you on adding pepper. LOVE black pepper!

[@SSanf]

If you dehydrate your broccoli and onions, they are indeed shelf stable.

[@nobledonna3368]

Loved all the recipes

[@gabbygoo2916]

I just love u and ur kids reactions, natural and fun...Thanks 4 another great video

[@2mellymel]

Brooke as usual I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Thanks for encouraging others to be prepared & making it doable for everyone. Keep up the great work. 😄

[@saraatintochristlikeness9098]

You could also swap the ranch beans with a can or 2 of chili bc that has meat already in it

[@hello-vs4me]

Thanks love your videos thanks ❤😊

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

Yes girl! I almost never boil the water first for any dry pasta!

[@kayengland3240]

I don’t cook lasagna noodles any longer before making the lasagna. They cook while it bakes.

[@earlenebrown7181]

Thank you for sharing from your emergency meals, they looked amazing. Let’s hope we don’t have to use them to soon. Love watching you so many fantastic ideas.❤️🌷

[@deborahcorcoran4475]

I would hope that no one would smirk or scoff at any of these meals. Thank you Brooke for showing us! Maybe show us as they are expiring and HAVE to be used up?! Love u n urs!!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Good idea! And shewy, you'd be surprised lol I usually delete mean comments as I see thme lol Nobody needs negativity in their life. lol!

[@lisas321]

Yummy ideas!! Thank you for sharing all of your videos. Tried banana and honey today -delicious and filling and we are not breakfast ppl either.😀

[@belindabrinkmeier9439]

I’ve been catching up on all of your older videos. You have a lovely family and great stock up and emergency tips.

[@michellemiller1027]

I want to let you know that I am thankful for your videos. I had a couple of thoughts while watching your video. One you could have taken any pasta water you had left and used in the hash brown casserole or any dish that called for water. Also you could save the juice from the canned vegetables as well. In emergencies you don’t know how much water you may have available. Just a thought from an old lady that grew up on well water. Your boys are great.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I would do that in an emergency where I had no water. Good idea

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

Good morning Bestie!

[@lynningram9171]

Your kids are ready for an emergency in every day that ends in Y!!! They were loving them!

[@cindyupton7357]

Brook…. I can tell by the look on your face that this is hurting your soul to use these! Oh my stars. You are the sweetest!!

[@stac1126]

Thank you for your awesome videos! I love the idea of bagging the items together for a specific recipe. Im going to do that in my pantry too, sometimes i look in the pantry and dont "see" what goes together. They are so helpful! I'm making notes to buy some of these just to try the recipes.

[@Vro-]

Great video! I would go ahead and fill the hash brown boxes with water and rehydrate them to reduce the amount of baking time. Love Sally, she's beautimous!

[@AmiFriendsStudio]

These are genius shelf stable meals. I've been prepping with MREs, but these meal kits you put together look so much better. I really want to try these out. Thanks Brooke!

[@teenataylor4546]

Maybe you can check the best by/expire dates and use the ones that are getting close to the dates.
