This has nothing to do with freezer meals, but I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for helping me get back on track. I don’t know if it’s because of the lockdowns, COVID weirdness, my health issues, or whatever... but I used to be a dynamo, getting a huge amount of work done in a day. Not so much lately. And then about a week ago I chanced across your channel and now I’m hooked. With RA I have limits on what I can do before I’m worn out. Somehow you’ve given me new hope and motivation! Now I do all I can, take a break - and here’s the new part - after my break I get back up and get moving again instead of giving up and crashing on a sofa to read. I don’t know what your magic is, but I am thankful for it!

@paulcowles998 2 года назад

I get you!

@krisheathman9053 2 года назад

That is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you said what you said, and made your point. Clear and concise. I can’t blame my lack of interest and lack of motivation on my health, but like you, I’m stuck. I don’t want to do anything other than read and watch RU-vid. I make deals with myself to get certain things done. I watch this young lady, with all of her positive energy and bubbly personality, and wish I could go back and get a do-over. But there are no do-overs in life. If I didn’t have a job, I’d never leave the house. So I am blessed and thankful for my job, and coworkers, because I know I must stay away from slippery slope of depression. I have some situational depression, but I’m not going to allow myself to go ‘there’. Thank you for listening. Misery does love company. I’m very sorry for jumping on a soapbox here. Best wishes to you as you overcome your adversities. God bless 🙏🏻

@susans9491 2 года назад

@@krisheathman9053 I just wanted to say a big “THANK YOU” for your kind words! No, sadly life doesn’t come with do-overs, or I’d sign up too! I tell myself each morning that every sunrise is a gift. Modify my ways of doing things, or find new ways. This week has been a huge challenge as we’ve cut, tedded, raked and baled hay for our horses. Naturally our 20-something sons both went MIA, so it has been slow going. Now we just have to send it up the hay elevator and stack it. I’ve got an appointment Tuesday for a new pain management treatment, and I think I’m really going to need it! One foot in front of the other, one task at a time. I hope you find your peace and continue to enjoy your work and your colleagues. Mine are a lively bunch, and I, too, am grateful for the structure of my job - it definitely helps stave off the temptation to be lazy!

My daughter is newly married and I am sharing your videos w/her! I love how DETAILED you are...you don't assume everyone knows why you ...don't wash the chicken or pre-cook lasagna noodles if you're going to freeze them first, etc. Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely personality and you are helping people cook more vs eating out!🙂

When you make the Caribbean jerk chicken, slice a pineapple lengthwise and hollow it out. add white instant rice with shredded carrot into the pineapple with a 1/4 cup of water and cover with foil. Let the heat of the grill cook that rice for you.... It's a go-to side for us. Another idea for boneless skinless thighs is to throw in onions and bell peppers with garlic and a pinch of cumin... You've got chicken faijitas and great for taco night. We usually batch cook thighs and then vacuum seal them for quick heat and serve meals.

@ebonbat 3 года назад

I would have added that onion and pepper with the steak and chop flank steak. Nothing is more yummy then steak with onions and peppers... well maybe if you add mushrooms with it.

@heatherlavender8236 3 года назад

I actually did around the same idea since I was going out of town for around three weeks too plus cleaned the whole house, cleaned my sheets, got my freezer cleaned out and organized, and my pantry, and then last my fridge cleaned out. So when I get home I only have to fill up my fridge with dairy, and fruits and vegetables pretty cool! Thanks for everything and all you're tips it's been really helping me, I hope you have a great vacation I know I have so far.

@leanneevans4080 2 года назад

Love watching your videos - I get a lot of ideas from you and I'm single! Only one mouth to feed but you have taught me to marinade my chicken as soon as I get it home from the store. One thing I learned a while ago was to get most of the air out of the bag when sealing it is to slowly lower the bag into a big bowl or sink of water. The pressure on the outside of the bag forces the air out as you lower the bag. Just be careful to zip it up and not get any water in the bag. I use my big stock pot to do this - I leave the pot in the sink because I'm short and can't reach down into the pot if it's on the counter. :)

@patreimers489 3 года назад

I use a lot of foil. I buy mine from Sams or Costco, usually in the food service/restaurant supplies. 500 linear feet for around $23. That’s longer than a football field! It’s very heavy duty and lasts forever! The worst part is finding a place to store it for easy access. It’s pretty heavy to tote around the kitchen.

@Sinatra4 3 года назад

We love to grill chicken thighs but first we marinate them in pickle juice and some cayenne pepper and we put it in salads it's delicious. My husband loves to smoke ribs and salmon. Have a blessed day Kimmy and Fam💗

Our favorite summer go to is pork tenderloin. In our stores, it comes 2 per pack, and is often on sale buy one get one. We will season with a dry bbq rub, and wrap in bacon secured with toothpicks. We put it on the smoker for a few hours and it’s delish!!

For tater tot casserole I use ground beef onion and garlic, I also use fresh mushrooms too but no peppers. I also used adobo peppers once ( in can ) cook meat …..layer mushrooms and Mexican shredded cheese with the mushroom soup / milk mixture. Add tots and bake covered then uncover add cheese bake til crisp. Cool cover freeze

So I went ahead and took this suggestion and made some meals from this video and your Aldi video from your sisters house with things I had on hand. We are back from a 2 week trip out west….. 8 states and 9 National Parks …… I’m EXHAUSTED and so glad I did the prep ahead! Thank you so much for this idea!!!!!

@jodythomas1159 3 года назад

Spray one side of Saran Wrap with oil...helps wrap not stick to food before you have to remove before baking. Sauce: If you add a little water to those sauce bottles and shake them up, you’ll get SO much more of the sauce!!!!!

Love just a simple steak on the grill, a side tossed salad with tomato and feta in it, and fresh french bread. Also do a lot of sausages- Georgia Fat Red Hots, Hot Italian Sausage with peppers and onions. Usually a pasta salad on the side.

@terrinewell3044 3 года назад

We love to grill in the summer. My husband will do a huge batch of chops, chicken breasts, burgers, sausages and hot dogs, then we have it for two or three meals. I always make potato salad, coleslaw or taco salad to go with.

So many great things to do with chicken. Love it! You spend sooo much time in the kitchen. You really need to invest in a good set of knives for chopping all those vegetables. A short little paring knife and a big Vadallia onion don't mix. A Santuko knife and a mid-sized serrated paring knife would be a great addition to your kitchen cutlery.

@tamichitwood7193 Год назад

I know this is a year old, but I had to just laugh because last night I was going through my fridge to see what I need to use up and I have 2 open Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce bottles of the exact same size and fill level in my fridge! SO crazy! Also, a marinade that I LOVE for grilling chicken legs is a mixture of mostly Dale's Original Steak Seasoning (it's a liquid - think they make a chicken one but I use the original steak one regardless of if it's chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, etc.) with some mustard (I don't care for mustard usually but it is AWESOME in this marinade), soy sauce, melted butter and Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning. It is SO good! I just discovered you and have been binge-watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing all your awesome food adventures!

@suziebuckingham9053 3 года назад

One of my fav chicken marinades is just olive oil, white wine vinegar and Monterey chicken seasoning. It’s basic, but tenderizes so well. Great for chicken breasts for sandwiches, grilled or not.

@ballenberkley 3 года назад

Great ideas , love chicken ! Not just because I serve at olive garden 😁❤ I love our Italian dressing . Here's my go to recipe : Chicken any style OG sauce as we call it 😁 (Italian dressing) Green bell peppers Onions Salt pepper Add favorite spices Italian Seasonings work well hint OG is Italian (you want believe how many richards want a cheeseburger , umm we are pasta only sir 🤔🤣) In dish pan I heat 390 oven for about 30 to 40 mins Cook till chicken done Serve over favorite rice

@asimplygoodlife 3 года назад

Loved your video. I always find it interesting how there’s different ideas in different countries, I’m from Australia and never have I boiled my dried lasagne sheets before assembly, as long as they are fully covered by meat and sauce, they soften during the baking process. Washing chicken??? I’ve never heard of it, let alone done it. I’ve never been sick from not washing chicken.

@pbear7814 3 года назад

I don’t boil my noodles, either. That way they come out al dente, which my family prefers. Washing chicken is recommended by many, but studies have shown it sprays more germs around than not washing it. I don’t wash mine, either.

I have been freezing meat with marinades for quite some time. It makes things easier after a day of working. It also comes in super handy for grilling. I especially like Zesty Italian dressings and have used Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing as marinade. It's a little something different.

My kids like tater tot casserole with chili. I've made it with cream of soups, they don't like it. Kids, what are you going to do, right? 😂 Anyhow! Make chili the consistency of sloppy joes. So I chop onion and bell peppers and cook that with ground beef. Drain grease. Mix in chili seasoning and a can of tomato paste and a small can (like 7oz) of tomato sauce. Once that's at sloppy joe consistency put it in the bottom of a casserole dish and cover with tots of choice and shredded cheese. My kids eat it up, no leftovers!

@Anna-gy9wx Год назад

Hi Kimmy! I know this is an old video but just wanted to say something on the lasagne. I noticed that in America/Canada, people tend to make their lasagne with ricotta cheese, in Europe we make it with bechamel (white sauce - butter, flour and milk) - maybe you can give this a go one time :) Also, we never cook our lasagne noodles, whether it goes in the freezer or not, if you assemble it while hot, it takes about an hour in the oven (covered with alluminium foil for most of it so it doesnt burn) and the pasta cooks up perfectly without having to pre-boil them!

Your 3 chicken breast you said you earmarked for salads you could dump what is left of the Italian dressing and grill it for salads. It would be amazing!

@vbo9872 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this video. Just a couple of tips if interested ... I feel like it's a good idea before starting food prep/cooking to have soapy water in the sink. Doing so makes it easy to go put your hands right in to wash them off without having to touch a faucet. Also when bagging meats with marinades consider putting the marinade in first and then the meat and close the bag. Since you squish it all together anyway the end result will be the same but the marinade won't squeeze out of the top as you close the ziploc.

@Ariadna_Vega 3 года назад

Love the video! A little tip if the ricotta goes bad again (hope not). You can change the ricotta sauce for a bechamel sauce (the original recipe por lasagna). Just use half a liter of hole milk (2cups), 50gr of butter (half stick), 50gr of white flour (2 tablespoon), salt and pepper to taste. I always use a bit of onion and nutmeg and normally exchange the white flour for cornstarch (if you do it this way, make sure to blend them together to get a smooth sauce). You have to boil them together until it creates the sauce and voila! If you want to add some more flavor you can definitely add some cheese of preference. Hope it helps 😊

@amypletcher4411 3 года назад

@Deb DeMark, in previous video she thaws out the casserole the night before and cooks on a temperature and bakes it. As for the crockpot meals she dumps frozen and cooks on low or high depending on the food. Probably the food being grilled like steak it is thawed first. Chicken could be grilled frozen just take longer but my opinion could thaw a little bit to separate pieces.

OMG I made Mississippi Chicken for the second time yesterday and it is to die for. It is too good. I got the re pie from Jessica O'Donahue's channel. I could swear everybody and they mama is making Mississippi Chicken because the Au Jus McCormick gravy and perroncinis are so hard to find.

Haven’t gotten to watch much RU-vid since the new baby was born 3 months ago and just getting to these! I make tator tot casserole all the time and have been trying other versions/recipes (taco is yummy!) and I have never seen it made like that

I always buy the uncooked lasagna strips and I never freeze them they always work out very well the juice is just cook them. 😀

My husband is a food safety expert. DO NOT wash your chicken or any meat beforehand. It increases the risk by a ton that you will cross contaminate all over your kitchen or possibly the entire house if your hands aren’t washed properly.

Thanks for the great ideas! BTW, I believe the au jus is pronounced "ah joo" as the s is silent. :) I'm always hoping to take your recipes and try to reduce it to make them small enough for two. I get stuck on what to make so any ideas are more than welcome!

Hi Kimmie!! I thought it was interesting how you did your tater tot casserole. I always mix the sauce with the meat instead of just pouring it on top. I also never put the sauce on the tots. I will try your way. Our go to summer meal is taco salad!
