    Freeze-drying leftovers is such a wonderful idea! Those would be great on our "fend for yourself" nights. Everyone can eat whatever they want! Thank you for sharing these ideas and participating in this collaboration!

    • @BigValleyLiving

    Having a freeze dryer for leftovers is amazing, especially when your a family of 2 and are used to cooking a pot of soup for a large family! I loved seeing your power outage night… all you needed was a pot of boiling water and you had everyone covered for dinner! The 4 legged furry babies and yourself!

    You know most people don't think about freeze drying prep for their animals. That's a fantastic idea! I know that cute little dog appreciated you thinking of her. Thanks for all the great ideas.

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      Oh, yes. They see "their" bowls, and it is game time, lol! It's a game-changer for feeding your pets. You just have to research to make sure that they only get what they can have, as well as experimenting with what they actually like. We always keep a couple of bowls of kibble around for free-feeding, as well.

    Having freeze dried meals in jars or bags is awesome. I gifted my widowed mom a basket if beautiful meals in jars because she would not cook for herself. She either snacked or went for fast food. She loves these.

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

    Watch the food come back to life makes me so grateful that I have started this journey for my family. I cook big, so having it be more than just be several days of leftovers is a win! Thank you for sharing how you use your Freeze Dried foods.

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      YES! I didn't mind leftovers for days, but after decades of it, I sure like this option. I agree with you - watching the food rehydrate is a blast! If you know, you know. You know? 😉🤣

    I love freeze drying, it's great to preserve the things that you cannot pressure can. Chili and soups/stews are my favorite. I'm going to make a big batch of lasagna and freeze dry that too. Thanks, this collaboration has been wonderful!

  • @crystalwilliams9125
    @crystalwilliams9125 5 місяців тому

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      That would work well, too! We usually have a try or two for leftovers. I don’t know if I would be diligent enough to do a bowl here and a bowl there. I wish I had that kind of dedication, haha!

  • @JoanneT-jh6hl

    @TiffanyEller-zq1hn 5 місяців тому

    Love the idea of freeze drying leftovers and making single size meals for work. No waste and save money on either take out or store bought frozen from the store. Also, made me think about the weight between canning food and freeze drying which has become a little bit of an issue for me. Thanks for a great video!

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching! I’m a mostly ingredient canner and freeze dryer. After making the soups and FD the stew, it has made a difference. There are times when you just do t have the time or energy for all of the work it takes to “whip up” a home-cooked meal.

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      There is not a bad season for soups. You can quote me on that, haha! Yeah, for the last 9 months or so, it seems like even the simplest of drive-thru meals are $20-$35, and we are left feeling disappointed. So - we use this beautiful machine that increasingly pays for itself every month.

    I love that you can freeze dry all of these soups and chilis. I had my husband and 2 boys that could eat like an army. We are older and boys have grown and now just us. I have been working on trying to make smaller amounts but i still end up with too much. I have one son that has been in an accident that struggles with making his own food and two set of elders. Those all being able to just add boiling water to a homegrown and shelf stable meal would be awesome. Thank you for such inspiration!!!

    It was one of the hardest things for me to learn was to cook smaller after spending so many years making big meals.... But I love your examples of ways to use those leftover meals after freeze drying them. And showing so many ways to use them. Thank you for sharing your awesome knowledge.

      I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Those freeze dried subscription-type dog foods are $pendy. And we know what our babies are getting!

    Looking forward to FD leftovers, this all soooo new to me. Think I'll find containers to fit several in a tray & freeze portions in them that when there's enough to fill the machine we'll run them.

    Thank you for all the ideas. We are planning a Road Trip later this year and we had talked about wanting to take food rather than buying at restaurants along the way. I was pondering what to take, and you've given me some great ideas.

    • @BigValleyLiving
      @BigValleyLiving  5 місяців тому

      Awesome! Heck, yes. Save that money and eat food that you know you like! I wish we would have had this when cross-country trucking. Truckstop food wasn't that great when it was your only choice.

    • @BigValleyLiving

      Yes! We loooove homemade pasta/marinara sauce. I think it is time to make a few batches. I might try freeze-drying some cooked spaghetti squash for healthy work lunches!

    Soups and leftovers are one of the best uses for a FD. My husband just made a big batch of chili and rice. We FD the leftovers and put in Mylar bags.
