Great video! A little tip for you to consider next time, if you prepare some extra sauce, you can assemble the lasagnas without cooking the noodles (yes, even with traditional lasagna noodles). My mom has done this since I was little and I do it now. Just make your lasagnas a little extra saucy, and that will be enough to soften and cook the noodles when you pop them in the oven! It's a huge time-saver on a meal prep day.

[@lauraflores1650]

Also.....with all those yummy veggies you grow.....peppers, onions, garlic.....I chop mine up as small as I can without mincing it and throw that all in my sauce.....and I don't pre-cook my pasta either....you could even make a meatless Za with all those veggies!!!

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for the info! Ill give that a try next time!

[@steffanimichoff1580]

a tip i’ve learned: if your house is cold use a seed warming mat for your bread to proof!

[@evolvingartist7]

I covered my bowl and stuck it outdoors in the sunshine to proof today....rose beautifully! I like the heat mat idea for winter....I wonder if a heating pad would work since I don't have a grow mat?🤔

[@richelleg225]

I'll preheat my oven on lowest setting and shut it off, then put the dough in. It's great to find a variety of solutions! Thank you 👍

[@m.elizabethchupp9529]

Bre, this is absolutely genius and couldn't have been posted at a better time! Every year I struggle to get good meals made during planting and canning season, and resort to either not taking care of myself or eating junk. There are some rainy days in the forecast so I'm going to be prepping some of these recipes. Thank you!

[@itsbreellis]

I totally feel you!! I really wanted to get into some better habits around meals this summer!

[@rebeccasanford8607]

I LOVE Preppy Kitchen! Watch him all the time. I like the English Muffin recipe you used. Plan to give it a try. Also… your hamburger buns look fabulous!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!

[@cowboylikeizzie]

this is so smart! i’m planning to start a garden outside of my apartment when I move out so this is very inspiring!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@evolvingartist7]

I cook about 5-10lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breast in a large crock pot covered in water for roughly 3-5 hours on high....or they can simmer on low for the day or night. I also strain and use the broth, but I use "bear claws" 🤣....literally looks like a set of claws to finely shred the cooked chicken.....sooooo easy to do. My son bought the "claws" for me as a gift. I honestly thought I'd never use them, but I absolutely LOVE them. I freeze any chicken broth that I don't need within a few days, and I freeze shredded portions of the chicken for future meals including soups.

[@debbiegordon7622]

Im outside all the time wotking on projects, flower beds and gardening and i do the freezer mesls and prep stuff on the weekends for the weeks ahead..After being outside im tired and exhausted and last thing i want to do is cook a meal..

[@bublhed]

You have so much energy! Great idea preparing meals ahead of time. I no longer buy shredded cheese - since I found out about the things that are added for shelf stability. Sawdust to prevent caking and an antibiotic. It’s these types of things that drive me to grow my own food.

[@itsbreellis]

100% and I fight for that energy some days lol

[@rickthelian2215]

Wow, that was wonderful lots of pleasurable work😊

[@richelleg225]

Home canned chicken broth is AMAZING! I need to make more😭 You should try canning bbq chicken! It makes great, and super easy shredded chicken sandwichs! It pretty much becomes a heat and eat meal! No thawing or waiting for the slow cooker. It might not taste as good as slow cooker bbq chicken, but it's super convenient for a quick dinner!

[@Just-Nikki]

I do that as well as pork. Boom, lunch is ready, just like that.

[@brandymurphy6373]

I sure hope you are okay and safe out there. I’m in South Carolina and the weather this past week has been so dangerous and it came through your path as well first. Stay safe. You’re the best ❤

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you! Stay safe as well, its been a crazy spring

[@toddmiller1753]

I would love to see your enchilada recipe! I love how organized you are and now im hungry after watching you cook!

[@itsbreellis]

just the sauce recipe thats linked in the description box, shredded chicken, flour tortillas, and shredded cheddar cheese! Super simple!

[@gwensullivan6026]

You can just add the molasses right to the mixer bowl, no need to dirty an extra bowl to premix with the sugar, let your mixer do the work.

[@itsbreellis]

🤣 why did I not think of that!!! Thank you for saying something! Lol

[@gwensullivan6026]

I think for demonstration purposes, it helps to mix in a separate bowl, letting your audience know that it can be stored as brown sugar without using it immediately.

[@foodnwords]

I needed this inspo -- I have been in the garden for ~6 hours the last three days getting my peppers, bush beans, pole beans potatoes, squashes and pumpkins in the ground; I'm in zone 9/10 in Oakland Ca and things are popping! I saw my first teensy little tomato day before yesterday. Love garden season! Definitely need to prep meals bc actually eating is the last thing on my mind, haha.

[@deannaseaman8600]

I love ur videos sooo much. One thing u might wanna consider. When my mother makes homemade potpie she slices a boil eggs and places them on a layer on top of the filling before the pie top. It is sooooo good!

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Kiara6896]

Tangzhong is pronounced like you’re saying tong with a long a, and jong for Zhong, Zhong Is hard to say if you haven’t heard it before, it really sounds like Zjhong but I can’t really explain that sound in English. Anyway, these recipes I really loved, I haven’t been baking at home lately because I lost the energy and will power in my last few months of pregnancy but I can’t wait to start again in August.

[@elizabethpulido5735]

love your style!

[@judyhawkins6470]

I made them right after your video and they were delicious. Going to make them this week to take to my aunt in Vancouver, B.C.

[@re5nee]

Love it!

[@SnugglesTheDragon]

I love freezer meals! I'm in law school and they are absolutely lifesaving!

[@itsbreellis]

Seriously!! Excited to be incorporating it more!

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

I make larger meals all winter and freeze half. So always frozen meals in the fridge did like your chicken slow cooker meals though.I also do a quick quiche that freezes really well .thanks for this and helping me add a few new recipes to my list

[@itsbreellis]

I love that! Id like to get into that habit!

[@ianalife]

You’re amazing!

[@AlanaLee-xv2qy]

Just shelling fava beans and enjoying your video.

[@AngieBrittHEC]

This title spoke to my soul! My family has been going hungry. Lol

[@itsbreellis]

haha I understand!!

[@ellevictory1339]

This is all amazing truth I always knew fantastic

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

These videos are the absolute best! Also I am so sorry but I literally started laughing out loud when you said "pronunciating". It's okay you're perfect in everything else though!

[@user-km4ze3wi2m]

And “anchiladas” 😂

[@sylviadombrosky8936]

excellent video thx

[@melisaarmstrong2293]

If you have Pyrex dishes that are in lowercase letters, from what I understand those you cannot put in the oven. Pyrex licensed the lowercase spelling out. Which is made with cheaper glass. From what I understand anyway. The uppercase letter Pyrex is the oven safe one and better quality.

[@Shovana92]

Lowercase pyrex is usually fine in the oven. It's just not hot-to-cold safe because it's not borosilicate glass, so don't put cold water when hot or take it from the freezer into a hot oven. The temperature shock will break it. Capital PYREX can take it though.

[@ellevictory1339]

This box game is over

[@soniapeach2428]

Awesome video! So jealous of the freeze dryer! Also - kept noticing the one egg on the first shelf next to the plant. You know it is there, right? Just wanted to check~

[@itsbreellis]

yes!!

[@punjabseth260]

Nice

[@Jabberwocky869]

I like that trick you use with the straw. Is it safe though? I know salmonella is not airborne, but if you breathe it in that aggressively ...

[@melbee1000]

Awesome video. Lots of good ideas. Where did you get your large cast iron w two handles that you made pot pie in?

[@itsbreellis]

I believe I found it at target 5-6 years ago! I havnt seen anything else like it since I got it!

[@Just-Nikki]

Add extra sauce and skip precooking the noodles. They will cook through later.

[@itsbreellis]

Good tip!

[@wendygonzalez2532]

Hi Bre!! Ok missy, I see those bottles behind you. Is that Kefir? If so can you talk a bit on those please. I have some sleeping in fridge and really need to activate lol,

[@itsbreellis]

its actually ginger beer!

[@walkintruth01]

Hello Bre, really love that apron along with the white one you sometimes wear. Where can i get my hands on one?

[@itsbreellis]

you can find some cute ones on etsy! look up pinafore apron/apron dress and some should pop up!

[@walkintruth01]

@@itsbreellis thank you 😊

[@JVHarberden]

I do the same thing with cookies! I often have several types of cookies in the freezer and I can bake up several types in one go. I am wondering if it's necessary to pre-mix the brown sugar. Couldn't you just put the sugar and molasses in separately and call it good?

[@itsbreellis]

For sure! I honestly didnt even think about doing that lol but why would it make a difference!!

[@averykerr3328]

Where do you get all of your amazing aprons?😊

[@sugarpumpkingirl]

Yes, I love your aprons! Where do you get them?

[@itsbreellis]

etsy has so many good ones!! type pinafore apron or apron dress and some should pop up!

[@brendapond6547]

Not sure the best way to reach you but I wanted to know what kind of retractable hose you have. Thanks

[@itsbreellis]

its a hoselink!

[@kristendunn8330]

"Garlic powder never hurt anyone" The vampires: 👀

[@itsbreellis]

hahahaha!

[@evavalentova3971]

Ok non american here. Whats the point of mixing melases to sugar?

[@meeganjae72]

To make brown sugar

[@Jas-mk2yx]

Hi I love your channel so much I was wondering do you do lives or is it possible to video call you sometime I have been watching your channel forever and I have liked them all ❤I love you bre

[@Just-Nikki]

I love your channel but girl, that metal spoon scrapping that metal pan was awful to see and hear. That’s so bad for your cookware.

[@amyscholl5828]

[@itsbreellis]

I find cute ones on etsy!! look up apron dress/pinafore apron and some should pop up!
