    I have been doing this for a while and a couple of tips I have discovered is that when you dump sauce out of a jar you can add just a little bit of water after you empty it and shake it up and that will get the rest of the sauce out of the jar. I also make my own chicken and beef stock out of bullion cubes and it tastes just as good as the premade and a whole lot cheaper! I save old washed out pickle jars to store it in and it works great! Plus when I go to assemble my meals I make sure and have the garbage can right beside me. Makes clean up sooo much easier.

      hey @cocacola31173 using the cubes sounds like an awesome idea, what's ur recipe??

    • @laurenwettlaufer4240
      @laurenwettlaufer4240 8 років тому +5

      +cocacola31173 I also use cubes or powdered bullion. My bag for the chicken Chili would not have fit the 32 oz of broth it called for. I added 4 tsp of bullion powder and marked the bag to add 4 cups of water.

      @AmandaLovesOldFords 6 років тому +1

      I've heard that the concentrated broth paste works well too. I've never really like using bullion.

    Wow, thank you Heather. I am new to the Freezer meal idea, and after watching tons of videos on UA-cam I found myself overwhelmed. Your plan was so simple and easy, you even gave us a list, and labels! This is going to be a great start for us, and it's not going to take 8 hours just to prepare the freezer ingredients. So Heather, thank you again!!

    I've watched so many videos on UA-cam about freezer meals... somehow this video was the most helpful!! You made it seem so much simpler than all the other videos I've watched. And I love your bowl trick!! I'll definitely be using that trick from now on. And I'm about to head over to your site! Thanks!

    @gabs1330 8 років тому +25

    I love these meals! There only 2 people in my household, so I actually got 20 meals out of this for $75. That saves on us over $100 a month plus we have used less gas in our cars, and have more free time too spend together. Thanks you so much, from Wisconsin!!!!

  • @tiffanychappel1063
    @tiffanychappel1063 8 років тому +11

    Was really surprised how well this worked for me and my family. We are now a family of 4 (oldest son lives away), but with only 3 people eating these meals (I follow AIP due to having RA) I found there was enough food for my husband and two teenagers to last 10 dinners and 10 lunches. So basically 20 meals. I didn't hit Aldi's when the chicken was on sale, so the meal plan cost a few dollars more, but wow! What a savings of time and money! This is a great plan to use when money is tight. Thanks!Wondering whether you are considering creating a meal plan using a mix of ground beef and ground pork (I mix them together so it tastes like beef, but costs less)? Would love to see what you would come up with.Thanks again for creating this plan!!!

    this honey bbq chicken was soooooo good! it reminds me sort of a pulled pork, except it's honey bbq and used with chicken! :) so yummy I will be making this often especially in the summer!

  • @1jmass
    @1jmass 8 років тому +8

    I love these ideas. I also agree with another commenter that adding the broth or salsa directly into the slow cooker instead of freezing it would save space. If it goes directly into the freezer, it will not have time to marinate the chicken, so why risk overfilling the bag? Unless, of course, you want to be sure you still have some on hand when you cook the meal, and it has not been used for another purpose! I have done that.

  • @DR-rw7es

  • @RosaMysticaMantilla
    @RosaMysticaMantilla 9 років тому +3

    I did this. Fantastic. Thank you!!! Now I hope you'll do one for say, ground beef? Or pork? These meals are so easy to do, cheap, tasty, and with a minimum of kitchen mess to clean up. What more can you ask? I'll just recommend laying the freezer bags super flat in the freezer. I didn't do that, and I forgot to take a bag out to thaw the night before. I thought, oh, I'll just thaw it a bit in the microwave. Well, the contents sort of pinched the bag, making it hard to empty the contents of the bag.

    • @lorenmontespino7264
      @lorenmontespino7264 8 років тому +1

      I would think they would, myself. My suggestion would be to add 1 bag(12-16 oz) frozen Asian mix vegetables for the last hour or so of cooking. I would never add just regular mixed veggies, especially when you can get several different varieties of frozen "Asian" mixed vegies that include things like water chestnuts and baby corn!

    • @angelicramirez8098
      @angelicramirez8098 6 років тому +1

      gram gram you know all of these recipes are versatile instead of chicken you can use beef, and beef broth. Or lamb or shrimp. Use what you like and make it your own. For instance the chicken taco instead use a package of stew meat then shred once done then you have beef tacos. Or for the chicken teriyaki just add beef strips and maybe some broccoli vwalla.
