I feel , I found the best place to use your recipes. We are 71 and 80. Healthy foods and freezer storage to oven is exactly what we enjoy.
You are so helpful. Thank you so very much.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We're so glad to hear that! ♥️
Thank you so much for this! I have been on UA-cam desperately trying to find make ahead meals for my family that are also healthy! Too many of these make ahead meals I have found just use a lot of cheese, beef and noodles so I'm so thankful I found this, please make more videos like these
This is great! I am disabled so have days where I'm in too much pain to do a lot of prep work. I can do these on my good days so on bad days I have something healthy to eat. :)
We hear this so much! We're glad there are ways to make those uncomfortable days a little more manageable.
This was another great one for me since we're vegan/WFPB and knowing you can simply omit the shrimp, lol it was great. Knowing that I can do stir fry frozen meals and change up the veg is really eye opening! Video series - Stir Fry Stacks! Thank you so much Sharla! I'm planning on doing some casseroles, one for now and one for later:) and a stack of freezer meals next week:) This looks like a great combination of meals to make and I'll add a little extra veg to each bag;)
Yummy! That African Thai stew sounds amazing. Thanks for the healthy recipes. I've incorporated more veggies than ever into my diet since discovering your channel.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Just found your videos. So glad that you have some healthy frozen meals. I just started a vegan diet and your videos are helping me. Thanks for sharing
Love these ideas! Thank you!!
Yeah! TFS
i love all of these ideas, Sharla! Yep, I defiantly have the same new year goals haha.
I really love these! Looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it! 😀
Thanks Britni!
Hi, I'm not a fan of veggies, but boy does that look good. I will have to give it a try, TFS 👍
We pronounce Worcestershire sauce as Wooster sauce in the U.K. Or Wooster-sher. X
Down south in UK it's more wistersauce 🤣 it's totally not like it's spelt for sure x
Thank you so much for sharing this your video. God bless you sis. Have a great day.
Thanks Mariah! I hope you have a great day as well.
@@FreezerMeals101 your welcome sis 💞🥰🌹
These are amazing!
Thanks Kalyn! They taste as good as they look! :)
I'm loving all of these videos! At what temp and how long do you cook the thawed Sausage and Sweet potato sheet pan meal? Thanks!
Bake at 400° for 35 minutes.
Tip - if your bags stuck together- run it under some water and it should unfreeze and unstick them.
Yes! Like getting your tongue unstuck from a flag pole in freezing temperatures! Good thinking!
I put paper towels in between the baggies.
Thank you for the video 😄
For the sausage and peppers sheet pan meal, if it stays a long time in the freezer it will probably have freezer "burns " , how do you go about it?
And how do you go about all the water that will be released from unfrosting?
I ask because water in a crock pot is ok, I'm just not sure how to go about it in a sheet pan?
Thanks 😄
As long as you get the air out of the bag before you seal it, you can avoid extra moisture and avoid freezer burn. On the day of cooking, you won't find water when defrosting as long as you've taken the air out. Hope that helps!
@@FreezerMeals101 thanks 😊
Hi there! May be a dumb question, but can i use frozen chicken i already have when making the second recipe? Or does it effect the recipe
Sure. If you're going to just turn around and freeze it anyway, go ahead. If you thawed it first, you'd have to cook it and then freeze it.
@@FreezerMeals101 thank you!
How long do you put the sheet pan dinner in for and what temperature 🌡?
Bake for 35 minutes in a 400° oven.
Here's a link to the recipe.

How long did you cook the sausage, sweet pot, and pepper for and at what temperature?
We have a similar recipe that says to cook at 400° for 35 minutes. You have to get that sweet potato tender, right? It's here if you'd like to look at it and compare.

Girl I can’t say the W word either 😆
🤣
When I thaw the cilantro lime chicken, I had a ton of liquid. Do I need to remove any of it before cooking?
It can depend on what kind of chicken you use. Some chicken has been injected with water to "plump" it up and therefore charge more for less (sad but true) so in that case, you can get a more watery experience, but there should be some liquid to this recipe and you'll want that liquid when cooking it in the slow cooker so that it doesn't try out.
I have frozen sausage. Can I heat it up and then refreeze it?
I wouldn't do that personally. I would just add the frozen sausage as it is. Slice it either after cooking the sheet pan meal, or before cooking it when you've defrosted the bag.
If it's a matter of you have 12 frozen together and just want 4 in the bag, just defrost just enough to separate them.
Hope that helps
@@jenniferspeers2453 Thank you so much! I will do what you recommended :)
Worcestershire sauce = Woos-ta-sheer sauce😏 (Australian pronunciation)
This video is an older one and I promise we've been practicing and we say it right every time now! Lol
I want to make these. however I want to throw it in the instant pot. An hour in the oven is too long. I'm making these anyway as a backup. 😅
I don't use my Instant Pot often so I don't know specifics for these particular recipes, but I know that a lot of slow cooker freezer meals work just as well in the Instant Pot so you could certainly adapt them.
Where are the recipes
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. The recipes are listed below the video. If you look below the video and click "see more", it'll expand and show you the recipes. I hope this helps!
Is this cooked?
These get cooked on the day of serving. They go into the freezer raw. There are some exceptions such as when we use ground beef we usually cook it before, but generally speaking, we freeze the ingredients raw and then cook on the day of serving.
Omg! You seem really sweet and you’re pretty and your meals are probably good, but I can’t get to the meals because you’re commentary so long!🤦🏻♀️
