Post more videos like this and the one of the meals for your dad and mother in law please. I live alone also. I would really appreciate these kind of freezer meal recipes.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Welcome and thanks for the feedback! We often split our regular recipes into something smaller for the singles in our lives, but they are included within our other videos, rather than have another dedicated video for that. But you're right - it's definitely a need out there. I'm sure there will be more meals for one and two in our future. Stay tuned!

[@midwestproductreviews7360]

@@FreezerMeals101 Your larger recipes I am thinking I can probably cut in half to fit my need. Than have possible left overs. I am sub of Jamerill as well. Still trying to figure how to do hers to fit my need as well. lol

I would love that also…I am a widow and this would help alot

Your side convos are funny. Don’t change. It keeps it interesting.

[@adriennetochter6873]

I’m single and appreciate the tips for one portion in quart size bags. Out of curiosity, what sizes do Canadians use? Embarrassed I don’t already know. Leftover chili, I gotta share, sorry if you already got this. Frito Pie, a Texas classic. Pour chili over corn chips, top with shredded cheddar.

[@angieb9823]

That sounds good. Going to try it next time I make chili. In Canada, we have large, medium, sandwich and snack size bags. 🙂

[@adriennetochter6873]

@@angieb9823 thanks. Interesting, we have sandwich and snack sizes too - a mix of size descriptions here, typical melting pot I suppose. 🤣 Frito Pie is popular for sporting events. I like to top with sour cream and onions.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Frito Pie sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing that. Our gallon size bag here is just called large and quart size is medium.

[@sonyahartley6320]

I dont enjoy watching a video on how to make something in fast motion, but if you like it it fine. I dont mean to sound ugly but would like to see more of the acrual footage and how to blend everything together

[@hnybdee]

My husband was vey confused the first time he saw frito pie on the menu. I thought it was a staple everywhere.

[@traciemorarity1924]

The little meatloaves are cute. We love meatloaf sandwichs with leftovers, I make a big loaf and freeze it in slices so we can either make a sandwich or make a quick meal with leftover sides

[@FreezerMeals101]

Good idea!

[@kathya4160]

Thanks!

[@tammycullum6391]

A tip for scooping the meatloaf , use a cookie or ice cream scoop . Each ball is the same size

[@FreezerMeals101]

Thanks for the tip!

[@leighsutherland6222]

It is easier to write on the bags before filling them with food!!! Also, there is no need to have different videos for smaller and larger servings. Just reduce or increase the amount of ingredients. Since you never make very large portions, it is better to keep the amount of food the same, and simply split it into more containers or bags. Preparing a lot of food when prepping freezer meals just means going for longer periods between preps.

[@liviebroom5078]

Thank you for this. Very helpful

[@FreezerMeals101]

Glad it was helpful!

[@suemount6042]

I’m so glad I clicked in the recipes sound great and you are a joy to listen to it’s like sitting in the kitchen of a good friend I will be back for more

[@FreezerMeals101]

Glad you were here with us!

[@Sladjib]

Great recipes. Thank you. Just one note; for your Tortellini, the white part on containers goes on top, so you write on it what the meal is. And the shiny part on the bottom. 😊

[@adriennetochter6873]

I’ve wondered about that before so thanks for explaining.

[@FreezerMeals101]

I've always been afraid of putting the white part on the outside because I worry about it catching fire in the oven. But it does make sense that it would be easier to write on the white part!

[@romiqueskeuken1644]

@@FreezerMeals101 i was told that you have to remove the “lids” when you put it in the oven and just line it with foil to prevent it from burning or something

[@bettywhittington9654]

Romique Kropman yes. That's what I do. I would think of it as a fire hazard.

[@romiqueskeuken1644]

Did you know your putting the “lids” upside down? The shiny side should be on the food so you can write on the paper side for those aluminum pans Love your recipes!!

[@pengle]

There are so many things I like about your videos, and especially this one. I am one of the ones who has been waiting with bated breath for another Single Serve version and you did not disappoint! I love how real you are - chatty, forgetful, improvising and honest. Also, appreciate all of the tips and tricks. It's like you give me permission to cook what and how I want which may not necessarily have been accepted by conventional cooks. I do have a question - For dishes like the Alfredo Tortellini do you put the foil dishes in the oven with the cardboard lid? I have always been afraid that they would catch on fire. I usually put foil on and then the cardboard lid for the freezer (makes it firmer for stacking) and then I just have to take the cardboard off and it is already to go in the oven.

[@FreezerMeals101]

I'm so glad to hear you find the videos helpful! Yes, I put them in the oven with the cardboard lid on them but I make sure the lid is turned foil side up. I've never had issues with them catching on fire that way. But if you don't have a foil side on your lid, then I'd remove it before baking.

[@debbiebradford6922]

You can also put them over nacho chips and add cheese for easy nachos

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I have a huge 30 quart stainless steel bowl that love to use when batch freezer cooking. It has plenty of room to mix properly and is very easy to clean between each meal prepping. Thank you for posting this video. I will be cooking up some meals for the grandparents and I was stumped on what to do.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Those big bowls are so awesome! Hard to store and you don't need them very often but wow! they are perfect for the job! Glad you feel inspired!

Awesome Job! I'm so glad I found you, this is exactly what I'm looking for for my teenage sons. They do some cooking themselves but when they are working and I'm not home this makes things quicker for them and less processed & takeout foods. The mini meatloaves are a huge hit in our home, just serve with mashed potatoes & baked beans. Try French's Ketchup, Made in Canada.😊 Thank you so much from Saskatchewan !!! 💖

First of all , I love your videos ! I'm only sorry that we didn't have KZbin or freezer bags when I was raising my children 40 yrs ago . I now live alone and I still like to cook . Problem is, I have to eat the same thing all week . I'm just about to watch your video on single serving meals . Thanks again !

[@FreezerMeals101]

Thanks for the love! Do you eat the same thing all week because it's all leftovers? Or do you need to for some medical reason? So many of our meals can easily be divided into smaller portions for singles and couples and that can offer variety throughout your week without days of leftovers. I'm glad you still like to cook. It's often hard to cook for one.

[@patsyspaeth3809]

thank you you rock my day things are made so easy with you

[@withoutlimitsbudgets64052]

After you cook and cool them down, I would put them on silicone baking mats on cookie sheets and pop them in my freezer for about 6 to 8 hours and flash freeze them unless you’re singly putting them into their own individual Ziploc bags they will stick together if you just stick them in a Ziploc bag together because once they’re frozen, they will stick together like that so I highly recommend that you put them on parchment paper or silicone baking mats on cookie sheets in your freezer for up to eight hours and then put them into Ziploc bags that way they do not stick together I do this also with homemade Turkey burgers and homemade black bean burgers and an array and assortment of other things that I cook that way nothing sticks together in the bag.

[@BournetoBudget]

Love the comment about listening to your MIL I never listened to either if my MIL the 1st 1 always spoke to me like I was a child and the 2nd 1 always assumed it was my fault and I was the 1 in the wrong never her son .. now I dont have any to have to listen to and I'm so stress free I love it .. just 5 children stressing me out but them I can handle xx

You may have had this pointed out already but in the description box below where you put the recipes, the last 2 meals have the name but no link to the recipes. I noticed because ibm interested in the chicken curry dish. Loving what you and Christie do. AND I’ve been motivated to do freezer meals again.

No need to worry about size bags to use since most of us know the size to use. Quart is smaller than gallon, sort of the size of a sandwich. Gallon is larger. Chili is great over baked potatoes. I don’t like Alfredo sauce so I will do my tortellinis with red sauce.

[@FreezerMeals101]

The tortellini works really well with red sauce!

[@AWanderingEye]

Hi! I see the chili recipe says 6 servings. How much is a serving? I have jars I want to use instead of bags but need to know if they're big enough. My bonus chili add in: cook up elbow macaroni and add that plus extra chopped celery, bell peppers then mix in frozen corn. You can add cheese to top then you have a chili mac casserole. The corn is esp. good when using black beans in the original chili. TIA!

[@FreezerMeals101]

Serving size would be one to one and a half cups per serving. Your chili idea for a chilli mac casserole is great! Thanks for sharing.

Because microwaves are all different, we don't typically add instructions. For mine personally, about 2 minutes does a decent reheat. Yours might take 3 minutes. You'll have to do a bit of trial and error to find the sweet spot on your microwave. Thanks for watching!

Hello. I am concerned about your honey spoon. You placed the spoon inside the chicken bag to "scrape it off" inside the bag.... but then put that spoon back into your jar. Please be careful! You might have cross-contaminated your honey jar with raw chicken juices because the chicken most likely touched the inside sides of that bag.

Thank you for your concern!

Ok so let me start by saying I love single portion meals for my dad. So I appreciate the ideas, but I wanted to tell you that I'm worried you just contaminated your entire jar of honey. You have raw chicken in a bag that has touched the sides of the bag and you used the inside of the bag to wipe your spoon. Then you dropped the spoon in the WHOLE jar of honey.
