Christine, I believe there's a reason your subscribers skyrocketed in the months leading up to this pandemic. You are helping so many people right now through your channel. Hope you and your family are staying safe. 💓

I found her Chanel just some days before pandemic time such a wonderful Chanel!

You should move the stuff left in the freezer to your other freezers and defrost the big one and really scrub it down and then you can refill it again.

@mjd2491 4 года назад

This channel is like a guilty pleasure for me. Not my lifestyle, since we're a family of three.... but I love your real-life adventures and how your husband gushes all over your cooking.

@zoe8745 4 года назад

Tip: dont use up everything in your freezers, just the oldest/most freezerburned stuff. Shuffle your pantry/freezer but dont deplete all your stock. And if things fit, you could move stuff from freezer to freezer to save electricity and to defrost a freezer.

@martelvonc 4 года назад

^^this^^ because a partially full freezer uses more power to cool than a full one. Definitely move the food to fill other freezers.

@andreabryant47 4 года назад

Good tip! I knew to use oldest first, but moving it to other freezers, I never thought of. Thanks ;)

@tiffanybramlette6998 3 года назад

I try to keep mine full but there's times we have to eat it out because it's so old it needs defrosted usually every 6 months

@MsPandachen 4 года назад

Probably the best plan is eat up the „old“ food in the freezer and move everything else in the other freezer and defrost it... because all the ice isn’t good for the energy sufficiency ☺️

@beth7921 4 года назад

You kind of can eat roast everyday. Slice thin for fajitas or stir fry, cube for meat and potatoes, I forget the recipe (my parents used to just say a little of this a little of that but it was always the same 🤷‍♀️) but they’d do it two different ways 1) red sauce 2)brown sauce you just cube potatoes and roast and cook in a cast iron skillet make a roux/gravy or add tomato sauce. (that’s as far as I can remember). You could try keeping it half frozen and slice/shave it with the mandolin and make french dips, make a breakfast steak with it. Really it’s a versatile piece of meat. 😃

@yennychavez102 4 года назад

E B if she would slice it thin and chop it up a bit and make an omelette with it adding onions and jalapeños it’s so good. Of course with cheese better 😋 I did with shaved rib eye

@patrickadams7120 4 года назад

Empty it and defrost it while you have the time on lockdown...if you do it now it won't interfear when regular life returns whenever that may be

all of the cleanout meals look incredible. There was a pretty good variety. I too would move that stuff to another freezer and defrost that one and get the blueberries out! hahahha!

@victoriameredith629 4 года назад

Teri Groce -but the blueberries are a piece of this channel’s CULTURE now! When they leave, it’ll be like we lost a friend! (Okay, that may be a minor exaggeration.) ;)

@terigroce919 4 года назад

@@victoriameredith629 i agree!

@Tiera4689 4 года назад

instead of shredding cheese by hand I stick the bricks in the freezer just long enough to firm up, chop into chunks and thrown in my blender and It turns into little crumbles that melts the same as shredded cheese. It's so much easier in my opinion to do it this way

@marisastoneobrien7834 4 года назад

Really smart.

@victoriameredith629 4 года назад

This is MY level of smart and lazy. 😁

@TracieL1234 4 года назад

I bought a salad shooter at a garage sale and use that to shred cheese. I do it all at once and store the shredded cheese in the fridge to use as necessary.

@sarasorensen2650 3 года назад

Always better to freeze before you cup or slice or shred.

@pamstucker183 4 года назад

Do you have lots of dry goods? Like beans and rice? Might be interesting to see some recipes of some shelf stable items. That’s the type of stuff I’m getting down to.

@lkav1313 4 года назад

Move temporarily so you can clean out. Eventually organize with beef in one freezer, poultry in another, etc.

You’re honestly not missing anything, it’s just a hunk of meat😂 tacos are way better 😋

@LessThanThree76 4 года назад

Adagio Borntrager Well, it’s both strip steak and tenderloin IN ONE! Two of the most expensive cuts there is. Just sayin. I wouldn’t turn it down. Not so frugal though. lol

@adagioborntrager4456 4 года назад

Super Moosie it may be EXPENSIVE but sometimes expensive isn’t better 😉

@LessThanThree76 4 года назад

Adagio Borntrager I hear what you’re trying to say. And I completely agree that expensive DEFINITELY doesn’t have to mean yummy. It’s just that I love those cuts of meat. 😂 But they are too expensive as a T-bone imho. But one day I’d love to try one. So yeah, let’s grab some tacos instead. 😋🥰

@martelvonc 4 года назад

I would condense to fewer freezers so that you can clean out the box one. ALso with the food condensed you will have a better idea what you have to use because it will be all together.

@pennyyager6123 4 года назад

@christalalley7816 4 года назад

Goodness...I wouldn’t have a problem eating roast for days. I’d eat pot roast, beef stew, beef and noodles, vegetable soup, beef fajitas, beef stroganoff, beef n cheddar...endless possibilities! I’d love to have that many roasts. There’s not a single one in my freezer.

@elainex5666 4 года назад

Your liberal use of butter makes my heart happy! 🤣💘

@1800kristi 4 года назад

I have an idea for some of that steak! I use meat scissors to cut steaks into steak tips and throw them in the crockpot with cream of mushroom soup for 4-6 hours. I just made this yesterday and it was DIVINE. I had mac n cheese on the side, but you could totally serve it over rice. Loving these freezer cleanout videos!!😆

No bake cheesecake....premodern graham cracker pie crust block of cream cheese 1/3 cup sugar tsp vanilla container of cool whip. Mix sugar cream cheese vanilla until smooth add container of cool whip dump into pre made pie crust. If you want Oreo just crush up Oreos in the cheese sugar cool whip mixture and use an Oreo pie crust.

@janabuchheit3389 2 года назад

I use olive oil, red wine or apple cider vinegar, soy or worcetershire sauce, beef base, minced garlic, diced onions, paprika, salt and dried thyme for my marinade... I put my steaks and the marinade in a large baggie. If I'm doing it in advance, I put in the fridge overnight, if they are thawed, I put them in the bag for about 30 minutes, I have also used this method for frozen steaks and placed in a large bowl of hot water... moving the around and replacing the hot water. Every method is tried and tested from my very picky family. After the marinade process, I do lay the steaks on paper towels and remove most of the marinade before grilling on my cast iron on the stove top. We love having leftover over rice and a beef sauce the next day.

You could have put the steaks in a bag and then in the bowl to marinate. Better coverage.

@SJ0510 4 года назад

Move the chest freezer stuff up to one of your main freezers so you can thaw and clean out the chest. You guys are doing so well!

@chloestevenson1025 4 года назад

use up all of the chest freezer so you can unplug it and clean/ defrost it. Freezers work most efficiently when they are full of cold/ frozen items or else they take a lot more power!!! so empty one completely and stuff the others!

@patriciabellah9392 2 года назад

@lindaclark4997 4 года назад

You can cut up your chuck roasts into cubes and make stew, you can also brown and braise the cut up roast in beef broth/stock till tender add a slurry of either flour or cornstarch to thicken and serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes. Beef Stroganoff is another dish you can make out of chuck roast. You could also slow cook the roast in bbq sauce, shred it and make bbq beef sandwiches.

@lyndsaymoehrman 4 года назад

With the quarantine are you concerned with moving forward with a freezer challenge? Obviously you have plenty of food, but I'm just curious if you have shifted your thoughts on it in any way with all the changes taking place. Btw. ALL of the meals you made look absolutely delicious! The Korean beef looks amazing. I have some roasts that need used up and my family is in need of a spin on a normal roast! Yay!

@FrugalFitMom 4 года назад

At the moment, no. My stores have plenty of food so I'm worried about feeding my family at the moment. My opinions might change over the next few weeks as we see how things play out, though.

@FrugalFitMom 4 года назад

Yes!

@Lidiasfamilylife 4 года назад

You’re meals look so delicious! I would move everything out and give it a good clean! But I would try to refill it with food as soon as you can! In these days with everything going on I find it hard to find markdowns but if you find them but then and fill that freezer up.

@kristinwb 4 года назад

I would make the basement freezer your meat freezer, and keep pulling the oldest stuff up into the basket/upper ledge so it gets used first. Freezer organization might be a fun video idea? I'd use the upstairs freezer for everything else. If you clean the basement freezer, please put the blueberries back because I would miss them. They're like the channel mascots or something.

@chloemorrison9613 4 года назад

Chuck roast with Chipotle in Adobe, onion, garlic, seasoning makes delicious tacos! It’s a rough base recipe from Rachel Hollis

@TheKmacialin 4 года назад

It goes well in taco salad, burrito or burrito bowls!! Basically like homemade chipotle, you can recreate at home. Also quesadillas or taquitos. I like to use homemade taco seasoning, chipotle, bay leaf, and thyme....sometimes some lime 👌

I get this vibe that Dave wants you to leave him alone so he can just eat😂 He’s not in to the play-by-play. Your little guy who likes everything is having fun though!

@ppod1349 4 года назад

Your kids are so lovely about your food, they try everything on their plate and are so fabulous at complementing your cooking it is a true joy to see. I know of a number of children that are so fussy and won’t try anything that their parents tear their hair out regularly trying to feed them properly. I feel for them as it must be heartbreaking to have spent time cooking and for your food to not be appreciated. Your family is such a joy! 😁

Roasts can always be cooked and made into 2, 3 or 4 other dishes for the week. Homemade "steak-um" subs (slice thin and fry with onions and peppers), beef pot pies, beef asian dishes/noodle bowls, diced or ground up and use in stuffed peppers instead of hamburger, ground up and make your own ravioli or stuffed shells or manicotti.

A tip for freezing chili! Make it but don't add the broth or water. I freeze the meat, beans, tomatoes and seasonings together, then add the broth from the pantry when I am ready to heat it. Work very well and saves space.

@roxannehannan2397 4 года назад

How do you get freezer burned stuff to taste good. Usually it has an off taste to me.

@victoriameredith629 4 года назад

Roxanne Hannan -in my experience, it works better in things where it’s cut small or shredded, and surrounded by sauce or liquid with a lot of flavor. So pulled chicken with barbecue sauce or chicken and dumplings is better for freezer-burned chicken than trying to make, say, chicken parmigiana out of it. I don’t know if it’s that the liquid helps improve it, or if it’s just that all the sauce or broth helps distract you from the texture. 🤣

@megcharles3226 4 года назад

@lindsaywarren675 4 года назад

Definitely rotate food around. But I would try to find nontraditional ways to make roast...or if someone is in need with this quarantine mess, maybe give them a roast...just thinking. Whatever you do keep making videos PLEASE! #stuckinFL

Use the catfish to make fish tacos. Kills the flavor. I would keep cleaning the freezers out. It is a good time to stay home and not shop.

@jays350 4 года назад

I have stocked up with freezer meat and veggies, long life milk and canned foods. I'm trying not to touch any of it and continue buying fresh meat, veggies and milk while we can once every 1-2 weeks. Mainly because of the buying limits atm. You couldn't even re stock a chest freezer if you tried. Unless you're willing to go to multiple stores in a day. I'm telling myself that this is going to continue for 6+ months in Australia.

@marysanta3546 3 года назад

My housemates are gone for two weeks so I have cleaned the fridge already (expect for eggs, ham, drinking things and seasonings). I'm slowly doing the same with the freezer, which my coworkers are loving because I'm bringing food to work.

Oh God round steak chop into 3 4 oz portions. Get a backing bag or oven crock pot onion green pepper canned stewed tomatoes brown gravy packs about 2 for 2 can tomatoes I sometimes mix it up with mushroom gravy fresh mushrooms salt pepper garlic. Have with mashed potatoes some other veg omg soul food. Yum must try I'll be watching for it lol very simply very easy cook it till it's fork tender. Yummy in your tummy.
