I Regret Buying This Book

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Batch cooking? Yay or ...NOPE!?

[@debbiedorsey2371]

Love the cooking video! Gives me great ideas! Thank you!

[@bettywood7288]

I like the way you cook. It will work for me. Thanks.

I have a suggestion about storing small piece (like rice or ground beef), soups, and sauces. Get gallon size freezer bags. Label content and date. Spoon rice, grains, small pasta, oatmeal, or ground meats in bag, going about half-3/4 full. Flatten as much as possible, squeezing out air. Seal, freeze flat. Soups and sauces (like leftover jarred sauce): place bag in two-cup measuring cup and fold over to form cuff (like pastry bag fold). Fill bag with contents till up to cup lip. Take out of cup, lay on flat or inclined surface, and squeeze till contents reaches bag opening. Seal bag and freeze flat. By storing these flat, in thin layers, it’s easy to break off whatever you need, and heat.

Just found your channel and completely agree about the book-I don’t need to return it because I got it on Libby through my library. I kinda mix batch cooking which just wears this old lady out and what I call madeovers. So I pick a protein for the week (a roast, chicken, ground beef, etc). First night it is the main dish plus a veg. Then I think of ways to make it over-hash,casserole, soup, etc. And once a week I have a meal with fish. I haven’t seen anyone actually do meal planning this way, but it works well for my family and they don’t gripe about leftovers (if the teenager leaves anything 😂)

Yes! I like the way you think! I’m a single senior and these are great ideas for me living on a bare bones budget! BTW I’m a new subscriber and so happy I found you in my recommended feed. Much love from a Canadian Grandma 🇨🇦

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!!!

[@jackieburnett6881]

I enjoyed your cooking video and would love to see more of this type!

[@royalnavarre1673]

YUM! Great casseroles. I like to batch cook, also and freeze in individual servings. No food ever goes to waste anymore.

[@michellebrewster8733]

Batch cooking .... YES! More like this, please and thank you!!! 😊

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

I will see what I can do!

[@marcellap.0709]

Great video Sara. I enjoy videos on meal prepping! 🍽

[@allisonmodaff5635]

Side note- I really like your kitchen! I don’t think I’d seen it before this video. Very nice 👍

[@dianetesta659]

Loved this video, please share more!

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Thanks so much for watching! I’ll make a plan!

[@heatherjackson8186]

That Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning is AMAZING!! Makes it taste just like sams chicken every time!

[@lindabobrowski3390]

Hey Sara try crushing potato chips on your tuna noodle casserole. It's good.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Great idea! Thanks so much :)

[@paulahastings7865]

That's what our family does. Actually doesn't get eaten without them. 😊

[@kerryjames6312]

Eggs are so versatile

[@chunkofbutter75]

I cook ground beef and freeze it for many meals.

[@bessieoriotis5104]

Believe me really easy, fast daily nutritious food helps. In Greece the euros is high but the food has got higher since Sept 2023 esp. They don't freeze as much. They consider cooking every day. Weird but food is still a headache. 😢😢

[@AmazingDogMom]

I agree about the book! It was very disappointing. It's just my husband and I and I still didn't find it helpful at all.

[@Chelle-kd1po]

I am a caretaker & LOVE meal prepping for my lovely people so that all they have to do is heat & eat. They appreciate small frozen meals, too.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Thats very sweet of you!

[@kerstinshadow2210]

No batch cooking for me. I love the book of Emilie Perrin "One pot pasta". Available in French and German. I cook one big pot. And we eat it on Saturday and Sunday.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Oh! That sounds good too! I'll look for the book!

[@robinnorth1809]

I'm sorry but throwing a few tins together is not my idea of cooking.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@allisonmodaff5635]

That’s my favorite way to cook! Lol.

[@1mourningdove54]

It all looks good Sara (OK, except the broccoli. LOL) Since I live alone I cook big batches and freeze single servings. If I cook a large batch of spaghetti I can put 10 or 12 small containers in the freezer. I have multiple recipes I use to keep the freezer stocked. Good video!

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Thanks so much! Freezing in batches is smart for one person!

Some great ideas, Kerry!

[@kerryjames6312]

Batch cooking is economical on fuel time but it's not for everyone

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

You are absolutely right. With 4 adults in the house, its great for our family.

Please, take a good care of your body. I see you've gained weight. Or is it just me? It doesn't matter how hard we try to save money. It's not worth it, if we don't take care of our health. Health is expensive and super important. 🙏

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

I’ve actually lost weight! And I appreciate your kind words. I’m on a health journey this year as I just turned 50. I’m working on it and thank you.

[@EC-yd9yv]

Really????!!!!! Your opinion on weight gain. How about Eat your ugly words. Who are you to judge. Get a life.
