    "Meals in bags" have kept my Parents out of a nursing home, and able to live in their home until I was able to retire and care for them myself. I would make them up, put them in their freezer, and THEY didn't have to worry to cook things thru, or burn anything. Microwave meals saved me! Think outside the box... Or bag as it were... 😉

      Doing the same thing now. Cooked them a brisket and packaged it in small bags and froze. Did ribs last week and delivering tomorrow. I have to do bigger batches cause they live 7 hours away.

      Cathy .. it's so timely that you responded to my comment, because I'll have to say this: I've been caring for my parents now for about 2 years... They do have short term memory issues, getting worse it seems weekly.. however, My mom is a great baker, and at 90 years old, STILL loves to bake. Yesterday, we made chocolate chip cookies, where WE BOTH left out the crushed nuts, and a pumpkin pie, where we both left out the sugar!! I'm losing my mind right alone with my mom! I guess it's like when the kids are small, and you speak child talk all day, and a friend pops by, and you talk baby talk to your friend!... I am thankful right now for the internet, just so I can communicate with adults who keep my mind sharp! By the way, I've just seen in the food stores, freezer containers for meals for 1 to 2 people that are microwavable! That's better than what was available to me a couple years ago! Thanks for responding!

    The different colored bowls brought tears to my eyes. When were kids, we never had matching dishes. My mother would pick them up from thrift stores & we would get to choose our dishes. That would be our plate from then on. Mine was as pretty flowers one. It brings back such great memories!

    I just put this video on hold for 5 minutes, ran to the basement and grabbed a jar of my homecanned beef and a jar of my homecanned stewed tomatoes. Got a small packet of my frozen green pepppers out of the freezer and sprinkled in some of my homemade dry minced onions, along with a cup of macaroni. A few shakes of the salt and pepper shaker and 1/2 tsp. of Italian seasoning and my supper will be ready in 20 minutes. Thank you It's not the exact thing that you did; but I utilized the ingredients that I put away.

    You just have me a good idea for when SHTF. Having a few humble versions of these to hand out to loved ones or a few trusted neighbors within safe limits may be a compassionate option, without announcing to the world that you have stockpile. Or to give when there is a new baby, family illness or seniors that could use a little kindness.

    Thank you for more meals in bags videos! I use binder clips on the top of my bags, and you don't even have to mess with those staples. They don't tear the bags, and they are reusable. I put freeze dried cheese in there for the top. You could use cheese powder, too. I also love using the "chili ready" tomatoes. They add a lot more flavor with the cumin and extra spices. We love your bag meals!!

    I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. I’ve learned so much. Between dehydrating, gardening, canning, and food storage…I’m set. Nothing goes to waste anymore. I even diy composted last year in a regular trash can and had beautiful soil to help fill container garden this year. Soil is so expensive now. Every little bit of self sufficiency is helpful. Cool weather plant starts are in and seedlings are coming along nicely. It’s going to be a good year. Other than perfecting skills, the only thing I’m going to work on this year is water and a diy water filtration. I do have the camping ones for filtration as backup.
    The home canned ground beef is phenomenal. My mom got sick and I whipped her up a pot of chili so quickly with the ground beef and my home canned chili beans. She said it was probably some of the best chili she ever had. She’s now raiding my pantry more and more, 😂.

One can then do the same with bagged Breakfast meals, and if you choose, lunches. Husband and I do two big meals and find them sufficient in an SHTF type situation. I love the ability to make our own MRE meals. Thank You for doing these types of informative videos. You and Jim so inspire us to be responsible for our own care in the long term.

    Packing these meals in bags seems like an excellent idea as gifts, care packs for others, or if you are extremely busy all the time. I'm glad I am retired without a big workload of things to do so I just grab things from my big pantry or freezer. I'm not yet convinced that all the prep time taken in assembling ingredients to put in bags saves much time in the long run. I vacuum seal in bags, vacuum seal my dehydrated things in jars, and freeze foods already.
    It takes me the same time to throw together a meal in a skillet just by getting things from the cupboard as needed along with individual meat like the ground beef patties I formed and vacuum-packed in small bags and froze. My Panasonic microwave thaws meat perfectly and meat gets browned in a pan along with seasonings and all of the other things added then left for about 10 more minutes to cook.
    Great idea for those who find this method more convenient though. Different things work for different people and it is good to learn them all.

    Considering the amount of cans you seem to open for cooking demos, you might want to take a look at the OXO brand openers, they are very gentle on the hands and have a very smooth action. Also the vacuum pasta bag that you cut open, could you have reused it if you were able to open it closer to the seal and re package/vac more pasta in it for the next pasta meal?

    Yummy! This sounds a lot like the goulash my mom used to make. Only difference is she would also add celery. Love the convenience of having everything in one bag. Looking forward to your next meal in a bag video! 👍🏻💖👍🏻

    This looks fantastic! And no hunting in the cabinets for any ingredients 🙂

    Thank you for sharing this Meal-In-A-Bag! I have been trying to think of some different ones besides Spaghetti and Pizza. This one is a winner! I'm glad y'all are finally getting some nice weather.

    I loved this!! My favorite good storage is "food in a bag". By the way-your kitchen looks wonderful!
