    Thanks so much Kimmy for sharing another wonderful video on your channel! You are such an amazing encouragement to me and many others throughout our world! Thank you! I also suffer from anxiety amongst other health conditions. You brighten my day and often make me feel like we can all do this together! Loving, caring for our families, being busy at home and Church, being Godly friends to our community that God has blessed us with! Much love and God Bless.

    We made the meatloaf Monday night.....HOLY MOLY....it was beyond excellent!! And the sauce for the topping?? Better than sneaking cookie dough before baking! The carrots added were fantastic (from an earlier video of yours) and I also chopped and put in a red pepper too. Thank you so much Kimmy I absolutely love you, your family and the love you show you of our Heavenly Father above. You bring me peace and piece of mind with every video put out 💞💞💞

    Enjoyed your cooking. I live in Scotland and us Brits make Shepherds pie completely differently. In the first instance in the UK Shepherds pie is made with minced lamb, cottage pie is minced beef and we don't add tomato, but gravy, made with meat juices, bouillion cubes and gravy browning but yours looked great too. Loved the chicken Enchilladas

    I love the idea of freezer meals! I have a lot of health issues and sometimes I can’t hardly get out of bed. It’s my husband,my 27 year old son and myself here. Although I know that they’re capable of taking care of dinner,I hate for them to have to. It’s just the maternal thing I guess. Anyways,freezer meals would be perfect for my house.
    I’m going to make some of these for my house and I am also going to be making some for my moms house. I think it would be a great Mother’s Day gift for her as she also has many health issues.
    Thank you for sharing this with us Kimmy! I will feel so good on my bad days knowing that my family is eating good!

    • @CamayCannon
      @CamayCannon 4 роки тому

      The ground meats taste the same. However, I would not freeze mashed potatoes....they just dont taste good after being frozen then thawed out. The only meals that aren't that great are the ones with pasta and sauce. They lose tons of flavor after being frozen and noodles are completely soggy. I usually defrost mine overnight in the fridge. It may not be completely thawed out but enough to wear its breakable if that makes sense.:)

    One way to prevent labels from bleeding is when you have covered with foil and added your label, you can cover with cling film - and that protects all your hard work from getting freezer burn and protects your label too :)

    Hi Kimmy, just a question, do you have your downstairs fridge and upright freezer plugged into the same outlet? I am planning on getting a small chest freezer for my food room, but I only have one outlet in that room and there is already a fridge plugged in to it.

    • @donnastratton8397
      @donnastratton8397 6 років тому

      Karen, just a thought. If you can afford an upright freezer (maybe even a smaller one) I would go that route. We got a small chest freezer years ago and never really used it much. I recently started buying in bulk and freezing meals and I can't find anything in the bottom of that chest freezer. I'm about to order a smaller upright soon. The chest freezers are definitely cheaper though. 🙂

  • @leanna1017
    @leanna1017 6 років тому

    Thank you for your great videos. A tip for your freezer. . . Plastic canvas is very inexpensive at the craft stores and if placed under your freezer bags they will keep your bags flat in the freezer and they won't slip thru the shelve spaces. Much better than cardboard or a cutting board as the small holes make sure you are getting the cold air all around your food during the freezing process.

    I use Avery labels as well. One thing though, they burn in the oven. I cover the dish with foil then cover that with plastic wrap and the label on that. Unwrap the plastic, you still have the label for instructions and the pan is covered with foil and ready for the oven.

    I always try to have cooked meatballs in my freezer that I make from scratch. Love that. I also do individual portions of taco meat so my daughter has an easy meal that she can have on her own. I also save individual portions of leftovers for "TV dinners" love that so I waste less food.

    Can you please tell me what kind of potatoes you used for the Shepherds pie and if you added milk or anything,or just mashed until smooth. I tried shepherds pie only ounce about 6 years ago and it was a runny mess. I love shepherds pie but that experience has prevented me from ever wasting my food again lol
