💖 ok, when you talked about sharing your freezer meals with others in your neighborhood, and mentioned someone recently divorced, my eyes welled up. I’ve been divorced for 10 years now and at the front end of that season, I had a friend deliver dinner for me and my children. It was as if I was receiving a hug. 💖
ThankYou for sharing that personal comment. I agree- having someone thinking about you and your family at a personally difficult time is as good as a hug. Especially at times when feeding the kids isn’t at the forefront of your thoughts.
Jody thomas, God bless the folks with giving 💕 They bring a spark of joy to those less fortunate. It is heartwarming to hear that it meant alot to you that they went out of their way to show you love, especially when divorce can make one feel such a void of the love they once thought they knew. God bless you too, dear.
Also, onion "fumes" are drawn to moisture and target the eyes and tear ducts. Crumple a wet paper towel on or near your cutting board and it's drawn to that instead of the 👀
I love it when you do these videos! I have a really good friend dealing with depression and meals are particularly hard for her, so in the spirit of FFM I’ve made extra meals to share. So she doesn’t feel bad or weird I just tell her I’m ridiculous and made more than I had room for! ☺️
I feel you. I look in my fridge & cupboards & see a BUNCH of food but then go drive-thru 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I have half of this stuff already. I might impress myself this week & COOK & Save money while I'm at it! 😂😂
Christine, I just went to Aldi for the first time this morning even though I've been watching your videos for months -- where have I been?!?! 😳 It was GLORIOUS 🙌 and I spent the day making several of these freezer meals. My freezer is STUFFED! Bought 52 items for $96 and I have enough lunches and dinners for at least a month! As this is an older video you might not see this comment but if you do: thank you, you're amazing, and God bless from Texas. 🥰
Using a pitcher to hold your baggie is genius!!! Congratulations on knowing so much about your neighbors. We hardly know ours. I am a vegetarian, but I enjoy watching you
@@schwingyshwoo I did that and I cried scooping them out 🤣 it hit me hard my hubby and I had to alternate who put them into the freezer bag because our eyes were burning
@@gothprincessheidi as a mom to 4, I find comments like that to be rude and hurtful. I know it was a joke; I love humor… just not about having babies. You don’t know the journey some women have been on to get there!
I don't even care about the cooking. I just love to watch you act silly!!! You're adorable and hilarious! You remind me of my quirky father, I can imagine what sense of humor your beautiful children have!! Bless them!
Tip for the bag holders: after you clip the bag in, keep the "arms" at a short level. As you fill the bag, raise the arms; it stays more stable that way. I signed up for Eating Together after your last video, and I love it! I love a short, doable freezer cooking session (I've not done one of the 30 meal packages), and - not being particularly great in the kitchen - I love having freezer meals ready to give to people who could use a meal. Thanks for sharing about them!
When I make my homemade pot pie, I double the filling and freeze 1/2. Next time I want some, I thaw out the bag of filling and either pour it into a pie crust or whip up some quick biscuits to bake on top of it. So easy and my family loves it.
I love you and you smiley spoon!!!!❤ you give all of us such inspiration to cook!!! You make it fun and funny!!!❤🎉 thank you so much!!!! God's Blessing to you and your family!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😅
I am a fan of the eating together monthly meals and now I’ll try the freezer meals! I am so excited! I am a full time doc student with a family. (Single mom) This kind of prep makes dinner time so much more enjoyable and easy!. Thanks FFM and Eating-Together!
Perfect timing! I’m organizing a “sponsor a meal for a local Veteran for memorial day weekend event” yes I know it’s more appropriate for Veterans Day but we will probably do it again then). Now I have ideas on what to have everyone make!
This channel is SO underrated! This woman puts so much effort into her videos and their always informational. Idek how she had time for all this. Crazy. Shoutout to her !
I just want you to know I did buy last months Eating Together because of your videos and I can’t even tell you how happy it made me! So far we loved all the dinners except one that my kids didn’t really dig but I loved! It’s made my life so much easier, especially being someone who is chronically ill with RA and other autoimmune issues. So, this has been a game changer for me! Love this! Thank you for doing these videos so we can have all these terrific options that until now I had no idea existed! 🙌🏻👏🏻😁😘 Even though it took me a weekend to prep everything (due to RA) it was SO worth it to have meals ready to go! Love you girl! You’re my fave!!! 😂😘❤️ Now, excuse me while I go buy this months recipes with your discount! Ty!😉😂😘
Also I love having freezer meals ready to go for others. Your not feeling well? Let me bring you a meal! No greater joy than being prepared to make someone’s life easier.
I've never found a bottled teriyaki sauce that I liked, but it's so easy to make and then you can adjust to your liking. It's basically water, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ginger. I like to add garlic, red pepper, and pineapple juice.
Hey Christine, found your channel recently, loving it! Looking back, I think the day this video came out was the day a family friend brought us a homemade lasagna while my mom was in the hospital. Thanks for encouraging people to share with those in need. You might never realize just how much a simple meal can mean when life goes wrong.
Onions irritate my eyes so much but I love the flavor it gives to dishes. I came up with the BEST hack for that problem. I buy a whole bag of onions then run them all thru my food processor that I set up on my back patio table. Freeze flat in gallon bags. When I need a certain amt, I just break off a piece - no more tears!!
Love these! The pizza pasta is my favorite- I thought about doing a 'white pizza' version with spinach, mushrooms and onions in an alfredo sauce, or a Greek pizza version with feta cheese, black olives and red onion- so many great options! Thank you for sharing this great freezer meal prep 🌻🌞
To avoid crying while cutting onions I was taught that as soon as you start to feel it, run your tap on as cold as it will get, rinse your knife and you'll stop. Sometimes it helps to rinse your hands too. Always works for me
I learned to cook in a big family, at one time later it was my husband six kids a son in law and my self, cooking big was never a problem for me. Now that I am cooking for one [which you would think would be easy] it is never easy to not end up with way to much, not much freezer space and limited budget just make for a real pain in the behind...
I love being efficient and meal prepping definitely helps when things are busy. The cool thing is that you can adjust any of these recipes to your own taste. I try to avoid white flour products, so I would just switch to whole grain versions of tortillas, pasta, and bread. Thank you so much for this!
Christine, no idea if you already know this but, you can chop onions and bell peppers and keep them in the freezer for up to a year. I divide them into 1-qt freezer bags...the 1-gal bags developed ice crystals before the onions and peppers could be used up and ruined the taste and texture. BTW...You don't have to blanch onions or peppers before freezing. 😁
For holding the baggies, if you drink coffee or know some one who does, large bulk plastic containers that folders and other coffees come in are perfect for holding bags open , not to mention make good travel trash/sick containers in cars with lids with baggie and paper towels.
What's so awesome about this is I never thought of freezing the ingredients together for easy cooking on the day of. I always cooked everything, then froze it. But I can totally see how much easier this is and I'll adapt it to my recipes. Thanks for an awesome video!
I love doing freezer meals. I don't do that many when I do them since it's just me but it makes it easier for when i do get really lazy. Today I made some meatballs and the will go in the freezer since I made a meatloaf and potatoes for lunches and then a breakfast casserole. I like mixing the mild sausage and sweet sausage or the mild and hot
You are simply heaven sent to those in your physical community, and us in the interWEBS. We’re stuck in your webs! 🤷🏽♀️😅 You share so many amazing ideas, and for that I thank and APPLAUD you!👏🏽❤️
Because of you I now shop clearance at my Kroger. Win Win! Thanks for the tips! I look for your new videos first thing everyday. Keep up the great fun on your channel! Laura from Texas
You look like a busy person and you said my family doesn't need 30 freezer meals but some people do. Its nice of you thinking of others that do! Cheers!
I get out my food processor and use the chop function for all my onions for the month. I do the same thing with bell peppers, mushrooms and shredding cheese. That way I only have to wash my food processor once and I save time not chopping things. I'll also buy those big containers of de-skinned garlic before roasting them in my oven and portioning them (about a tablespoon) into saran wrap and putting them in my freezer. Makes it super easy to toss in some roasted garlic for pasta, stirfrys, stews, etc.
I work in a factory and was having a horrible day. Last 30 mins I was like, I need something to make me smile so I put this on. I didn't get to watch it really, so I'll have to watch again but the past and present Christine talking to each other made me chuckle. Thanks for making me smile ❤️ appreciate the work you put into videos
Always learn something....I never knew you could chop and freeze onions and peppers.....so thanks for all those that made the comments. I totally enjoyed this and am so surprised you didn't mess up your shirt! LOL Let me also say how kind you are to do this for those in need, I know the recipients will be so grateful. Be Blessed and thanks for sharing. Hugs
Just a tip for the unaware : An iron whisk can do the same as the "meat masher" :P so whisk = multi tool Also, buy an electric kettle to pre-boil water = faster boiling in pot :)
I absolutely love your videos !) I love your energy and your humor!) you are very entertaining to watch and get inspiration on your cooking videos !) I love your budget friendly ideas 💡!) thanks Christina)
Heck, I chop a pile onions, mixed bell peppers, celery and carrots, and store them in the FREEZER in gallon bags or stacked Tupperware! They stay loose or break up really easily, so just grab a handful and throw ‘em in soup or sauté before adding meat or whatever. EASY and no worries about them going bad. Also great when you find vegs on sale - just keep adding them to the bag.
So sweet of you to make meals for others. You have such a kind and caring heart. Plus your videos are the best. They’re some of my favorite to watch and you give lots of great ideas for people who are stuck in a dinner rut or trying to keep it budget friendly :)
lol im so glad you have fun in the kitchen - we sure are in there a lot! i'm definitely trying some of these recipes, fresh and frozen! did my first freezer meal prep back in March and got 25 done! figuring out what freezes well and what doesn't are sucky lessons, but have still been worth learning, 100%!
Love the video and I got some great ideas, but the music selection? THE BEST EVER! So nice to hear some rock/punk type music that I always listen to instead of the same type of mellow stuff everyone always plays.
Would you consider doing am allergy friendly freezer meal prep? Or cheap grocery list for fast meals? I have a family of four and my between us someone is allergic to dairy, eggs, and gluten. So freezer prep and meal planning (on a budget) is rough!
Can you do a video of basic items that would be good to keep in your pantry? I know that this depends on what your making but maybe for some of the most common, kid friendly ideas. I love seeing your recipes, thanks!
I love most chips so I can't answer my favorite. A trick I do for cutting onions is turn the vent on by your stove and chop them there. I have a downward vent. I put my cutting board on the burners and I hardly ever cry anymore since I started doing that.
The best teriyaki sauce is homemade and it's so easy. I think it might e less expensive than bottled because it is made with items you probably have on hand in your pantry. Soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Great video, I like meal prepping. Thank you for your videos.
I want to say thank you for all your great meal ideas. I love watching your videos and you give very easy to follow instructions. Thank you for all that you do.
Don't worry, I found this channel because I was looking for cheap bachelor recipes. ..now I'm just watching this married mother woman cook meals because she's fun to watch. Lol
I'm second person to comment!! Never happens. I love the saying, 'I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken'....love your shirt. Where did you get it? Also, I saw where someone 'browned' their burger in the instant pot! I did it, with a cup of water, put 3 lbs of half thawed burger on the trivet the IP came with and cooked on high pressure for 23 minutes or so, then mashed with the meat masher....so wonderful to have already browned beef in the freezer for quick barbeques or anything requiring browned burger. And doing this is so easy and I don't have to stand at the stove and stir the burger to brown evenly etc.
Thank you for the freezer meals I just downloaded them and now I can feed my kiddos and have them actually have something that’s decent it’s really hard it’s just really hard but now things are better thank you inspire me
If you really hate chopping and/or biting into onions, you can also use a food processor or blender even. My brother hated big pieces of onion, so my mom chopped them in the blender.
What a great job, those families will be so happy! If you want less sugar you could also take basic tomato sauce (no basil) and add BBQ sauce flavours or even a splash of BBQ sauce. :)
That shirt reminds me of my father! He used to always say, “I may not always be right, but I am seldom if ever wrong”! I grew up hearing that my entire life! I am 74.
Your so weird I love it! Just recently started watching. Also thanks so much for your budget grocery hauls it has really helped me look for things that are cheaper and I am starting to look for deals. I just came back from Walmart and spent way under my budget. thank you. :)

Thank you for your story. It’s amazing to be able to hear the gratitude and that can also encourage others to do the same in similar situations.
You get a freezer meal, you get a freezer meal, everyone gets a freezer meal 😄

Great tip!
fumes are actually healthy for us

.....how lovely. That's what the world needs.
Such a sweetheart, God bless you.

Why didn't she just buy the prechopped onions as she did the green peppers??

I think that idea of making the freezer meals and delivering them to those in need is so awesome. It brings tears to my eyes.
I buy onions in bulk when the go on sale. Chop them all up in one go, then freeze them. I'll just grab them out of the freezer when needed.
That is a great idea
How do you freeze them? Please let me know
I love this idea! To make it even easier you can just put them in your food processor and you don’t even have to cry.😂

I like to do alfredo, bacon, broccoli and top w an Italian cheese mix.
Those sound so delicious.
How did it turn out freezing alfredo sauce? Freezing cream sauces does not always turn out well
I imagine you sending all your kids off to post-secondary with 100 freezer meals for the semester lol!!!

It's the swim goggles for onions. The seal around your eyeballs is what does it!
Trying to get motivation by watching frugal fit mom..
Soupercubes! Freezer organization at its finest 😊 When all the freezer meals get slippery and attack you when you open the door 😅
The best teriyaki sauce is homemade and it's so easy. I think it might e less expensive than bottled because it is made with items you probably have on hand in your pantry. Soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and ginger.
Great video, I like meal prepping.
Thank you for your videos.

I'm second person to comment!! Never happens. I love the saying, 'I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken'....love your shirt. Where did you get it? Also, I saw where someone 'browned' their burger in the instant pot! I did it, with a cup of water, put 3 lbs of half thawed burger on the trivet the IP came with and cooked on high pressure for 23 minutes or so, then mashed with the meat masher....so wonderful to have already browned beef in the freezer for quick barbeques or anything requiring browned burger. And doing this is so easy and I don't have to stand at the stove and stir the burger to brown evenly etc.
Thank you for the freezer meals I just downloaded them and now I can feed my kiddos and have them actually have something that’s decent it’s really hard it’s just really hard but now things are better thank you inspire me
The crazy onion lady shot you added... omg.. @16:18
Totally agree--the pitcher is best.
If you really hate chopping and/or biting into onions, you can also use a food processor or blender even. My brother hated big pieces of onion, so my mom chopped them in the blender.
I just have to say I absolutely love your videos! You're sooo fun!
I think I hang around so much because she's so funny. And I've noticed I've learned something. She's got some great ideas to save me time.
What a great job, those families will be so happy!
If you want less sugar you could also take basic tomato sauce (no basil) and add BBQ sauce flavours or even a splash of BBQ sauce. :)
Awesome meal ideas! I love the idea of prepping the cut onions too. Super smart.
We LOVE eating together! I’ve been subscribed to their monthly service since February ☺️
My favorite freezer meals are steak and bacon❤️
That shirt reminds me of my father! He used to always say, “I may not always be right, but I am seldom if ever wrong”! I grew up hearing that my entire life! I am 74.
My husband always says "I was wrong once, but I was mistaken " 🙄
Your so weird I love it! Just recently started watching. Also thanks so much for your budget grocery hauls it has really helped me look for things that are cheaper and I am starting to look for deals. I just came back from Walmart and spent way under my budget. thank you. :)
I don’t know that I’d count those tortilla pizzas as a “meal”. 😆
why not ? :') it's just pizza
They're very filling you should try them 😊
I don't understand why would that have to go into the freezer instead of just keeping the ingredients around 🤷🏼
Looks like a freezer "snack" to me too 😄
It’s a tortilla with a little cheese and some tomato sauce on it I don’t see have one of those that may be a meal for a toddler
I can confirm all dressed chips are the GOAT. Greetings from canada
