When I make my freezer quiches, I freeze the filling in the bag and when I go to cook it I just thaw it out and fill the shell. It stores so much better in the freezer.

I make a lot of meals for my husband and my dad and what I do with a make a big batch of chili spaghetti and homemade soups and put it in two cup individual containers and freeze them that way and then when I go to give them to people I pop them out of that container keep my container and put them in a ziplock baggie and write down what it is and what to cook it for and it's so easy and efficient and I've been helping a lot of older people with that over the last 25-30 years just thought I'd give you guys a little tip thank you❤

I use red sauce for - spaghetti, chili, lasagna, cover noodles for goulash, pizza, soups, cover tortellini/ ravioli etc., cover breaded eggplant or zucchini…. Luv it with hamburger n Italian sausage. Here in Germany we have hamburger mixed with pork- I add the Italian sausage to my red sauce. To make KILLER red sauce use canned tomatoes from your home grown tomatoes. AND I add tomato soup- if the sauce it too watery I’ll add the powdered tomato soup s and dried onions.

Diane, since the cost varies greatly depending on the area you live, we don't share our costs anymore. When we used to, some people felt like failures themselves for not being able to get their costs as low as ours (because the cost of groceries where they live is much higher) and many were upset that we were spending too much (because where we are in Canada, the costs are higher than in many of the States) so we now try to avoid specifics about cost other than speaking in percentages.

I like the natural fiber colored ones, so I can use a permanent marker to write on the bag what's inside then I tie the staps together on top, so the contents don't fall out when/if they tip over in the freezer. We also started making a list/inventory & taped it to the top of the freezer lid that tells us where stuff is inside, so we don't have to remember or spend time digging around. Because we discovered the longer your freezer is open, the more ice crystals you'll get on your food.

Hi Theresa - great question! I guess it's up to you how you want to stack them, but since we do one protein at a time, it's normal for "all the ground beef to be at the bottom" and then "all the chicken is on top" but we still spread it around a little bit so we don't have two beef hashes on top of each other. After awhile, we get to know what they look like from the bit we can see, so it's pretty easy to dig through the stack and find what we want. Other days, we don't care in the slightest and just pick up whatever is on top. The less brain-work the better! There is a lady in our FB group (facebook.com/groups/241144882941938) who not only has it marked down on whiteboards, she collects her weeks' worth of meals and puts them in a totally different bin for easy access, plus it helps her with meal planning/groceries for the week. You can be as organized or as loosey-goosey as you want! I hope that helps!

I make breakfast pie all the time . I always cook my meat first. I bake them the same day and then freeze them. When we want one I just put in the oven with foil on 350 for 40 minutes . Then remove foil bake until completely warm.

Didn't read through all the comments but regardless, this was a phenominal example of teamwork!! You rocked it!! For the seafood shells that sucked your time, couldn't you layer ravioli like a lasagna and still come up with the same flavors??

Thanks Amy! It was the filling for the seafood shells that took most of the time - chopping spinach, cooking and chopping the shrimp, chopping the crab, etc., but maybe we can find ways to streamline it for next time or even buy cooked shrimp instead.

I like making nacho potatoe bakes. You'll cut potatoes into chucks then boil them and drain put them in a casserole dish let the potatoes cool. Then put nacho cheese ontop,meat of your choice, dices onions and a can of Rotel then top with shredded cheese put aluminum foil ontop preferably the heavy duty grill kind is better. Then defrost the day before then bake at 350 for an hour.

I just found this channel today. We are vegetarians, but I can tell that your recipes would be fantastic! I have a question about the veggie beef you use. Do you cook it before adding it to your bags? Also, do you do any other vegetarian substitutions? I will definitely look at ways to make some of these meals in a vegetarian way! I want to make meal preparation more streamlined because making every meal from scratch each day isn't time effective. Along with being vegetarian, I have one son who has food allergies and another son who is gluten intolerant. I am looking forward to watching more of your fun and inspiring videos!

Hi Lori, I prefer to brown my veggie beef before adding it to the recipes because I like the texture better that way. In our big freezer meal marathons, we always have at least some vegetarian recipes, but I have a few videos that are devoted to just meatless meals. There one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoaal4SbaN5kfNU and another here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGnCnqSfeqici68 Hope that helps give you more ideas for vegetarian freezer meals!

I missed it if you said what size bags you are freezing the meals in. Is one bag enough to feed you whole family? It is hard to judge without anything to compare but it looks like you would need two bags for a meal for 7 kids and 2 adults.

Hi! We use the large ziploc freeze bags (1 gallon) for the main meal and then use the medium freezer bags (1 quart) for the extras like cheese. Sharla has seven kids and two adults and typically one bag is able to feed everyone, however she admits her kids sometimes some of her eat like birds. Christie's family has two kids (12 & 14) and two adults, and typically one bag is enough for each person to eat and then there enough for leftovers for her husband to take to work the next day. That said - some recipes can "grow or shrink" as needed. If you think your family will need 6 chicken breasts instead for 3 or 4, then often times, you can do that without having to double the sauce. If you have four teenage boys all at once, then maybe you need to defrost two bags at once. You know your family best. Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all. Over time, I've gotten to know which casserole will be eaten in one meal and might not have any leftovers (cough, cough, tater tot casserole) so I often prepare a side or two if I need to stretch it, or make it on a night where I know we won't have to rely on the leftovers the next day. I hope that helps!

We get as much air out as we possibly can and then lay them out in the freezer as we make them. We try to put the two that are the same on different shelves so that they have a bit of time to start freezing while we make the next meal.

I keep listening to the part about taco spaghetti. Are you sure you only want 8 spaghetti noodles? The million dollar stuffed shells I have a couple of hints. Thaw chopped spinach instead of chopping your own. To fill the shells or manicotti put the filling in a gallon size bag and cut off a corner and use like a piping bag. Have the shells open side up and squeeze filling in cut off with a knife and move to the next. Yes I have filled a metric butt ton of shells over the years. I also freeze in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper. They pop off and go right into a few large bags.
