    When I make homemade chicken noodle soup, I freeze the soup without noodles. (Chicken, veggies and broth). When we want to have soup we thaw, bring to boil and then add the noodles. The noodles are not soggy and overcooked this way.

      I do the same but it's so it can be a base for different things. Like chicken and rice soup, pot pie, or chicken and dumplings

    Thanks for reminding me of what I used to do 55 years ago when I was working, my husband was in school and there were no microwaves to prepare quick and nutritious meals. I would cook on a Sunday for the whole month and freeze it all in my huge chest freezer. We always had great meals when we came home from work and school. It’s so nice to watch you teaching new generations how to make it work for today’s families.

      I am a Mom of 3, I just delivered a baby on December 18, 2023. I started freezing meals by 2023 Thanksgiving all the way to my delivery. It's now May 2024 and I am still eating from my freezer. I spent the best 5 golden first week with my brand new baby without worrying about what's for dinner. I am glad I did prepare a lot of freezer meals for postpartum. I pray you have a safe delivery. The best decision I ever made before baby got here

    You can totally leave the tops on your strawberries when you put them in smoothies. It’s like adding spinach. Just make sure they are really clean. And the pineapple cores get blended up just fine in a high powered blender. I’ll do that or save them to second ferment my kombucha

    I've been making ahead breakfast burritos somewhat regularly since having my baby since they're so quick to reheat from frozen in the microwave and easy enough to eat one handed while nursing! I found a good trick is to let all the filling components cool down before combing and wrapping them to freeze so they don't come out soggy once reheated.

    I use unsweetened applesauce in place of oil in muffins and they always turn out great! I have to eat gluten free, and still works well. Love your videos!😊❤

    I use a muffin scoop (also known as an ice cream scoop!) to quickly get batter into the muffin cups. It's less messy and all of the muffins come out the same size.

  • @Whitepeachyellowpeach4675
    @Whitepeachyellowpeach4675 3 місяці тому +6

    For smoothies I use frozen fruit to save money. I would also use high performance blender to pre-blend the paste, and when we eat we just add water or milk and use a smaller easier to clean blender. Saves tons of time and money

  • @tashasmith1234
    @tashasmith1234 4 місяці тому +2

    Omg! I just made GF Blackberry muffins and they are soooo good. I subbed 1 C oat flour and 1 C Bob's 1-1 baking flour. And, the coconut oil from Costco and maple. I had to immediately freeze them or they would've been GONE!! Teenagers be eatin'!!!
    The namaste flour from Costco is good too.
    I've been using the Costco rotisserie for the chicken soup for ease. Still really good. And the secret ingredients for my soup: a pinch of dill and ginger.
    Thanks for having healthier, budget conscious batch items. Other channels are full of less desirable items..... if ya know what I mean! 😉 God bless and much love! ❤

    For the noodles- freeze with no noodles. Add the noodles when you are ready to eat!! Especially the rice noodles. They turn everything milky.

      A standing freezer that looks like a fridge is a game changer! Flat pack as much as possible, CLEAR containers, labels and dates on masking tape or labels is helpful. You can also freeze jars on the shelves or in the door for extra space saving, just be careful to leave room for liquids to expand in the jar as they freeze.

    I love your videos. I get inspired so much. I make the breakfast burritos and freeze them also. I just wrap mine each in parchment paper and then put a bunch in a gallon size freezer bag. Then I pull a couple out the night before and put them in the refrigerator. The next day I just put them in the microwave for 90seconds to 2mins. Or you can put them in the open on a baking sheet (in the parchment paper) keeps the cheese from leaking out in either your microwave or oven.

    Instead of using foil to wrap the burritos, i place them directly into a gallon freezer bag and place the bag in the freezer. I then take out however many burritos I want to warm up and either microwave or heat in the air fryer.

    Thanks for the recipe for the muffins can’t wait to try it. When I take my breakfast wrap from the freezer I place my wrap on a paper towel and roll it up before I put it in the microwave this helps to keep it dry so it’s not so wet from the ingredients.
