Hey! Lots of comments coming in! Just a few things so you won't have to comment about them. I'll save you some time.
1. I say meals like mills. It's how I grew up.
2. I sometimes say Costed instead of cost. - I get nervous and sometimes it comes out wrong! ha ha ha!
3. And yes, these are not all super healthy. But we have 2 vegetables as a side dish for every meal. Moderation in all things. :) I'm just a Mom trying to get food on the table. Ha ha!
4. That's all! Thanks for your kind comments! :) Hugs! Kristen

Busy daycare mom here, + college student. And I'm just getting over cancer treatments. I used your recipes a few times. I double all my recipes one for us and one for daycare. The kids your recipes.

Wow. Can't wait. These recipes were all new to me. Thx so much. I'm a Senior Citizen now, counting every penny. I have time to cook now but I LOVE the Instant Pot because I can make big batches at once, plus the meat turns out incredible, plus it uses only about 20% expense of the electric stove. I'm in Calif. You wouldn't belive what we pay for electricity. I do convert these recipes when possible to Organic meats and Organic canned stuff. At discount places like Dollar Store, Aldi, Grocery Outlet, and sometimes Kroger Stater Bros, it costs about the same. I do this because I have to, plus I prefer it. I cook big batches to freeze in order to keep electricity down, plus if I don't have to use the stove, it keeps the house cooler in the really hot summer. I live alone, so I freeze meals in a 1 serving bag. I often cook a bunch of plain side veggies like sweet potatoes and zucchini and squash, cauliflower, broccoli, ...and I store in Mason Jars in the fridge. Good for 10 days . I sometimes store my Salads this way too, but without the dressing so the lettuce stays crunchy.
I appreciate all your recipes. You do so much to jazz up simple meats so I don't get bored of plain food all the the time. To save space in my little freezer I sometimes freeze 2 servings at a time so I can eat one, and then save another in fridge for the next day. Quart size bags usually. I also can freeze a serving for a sick neighbor. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THESE INCREDIBLE, TASTY, SIMPLE recipes. God bless all 6 of you and your families.

As a retired man who always enjoyed cooking, I’m intrigued by this concept. Thanks to Sheltering at home due to Covid, I have explored baking bread, making homemade broths, different ethnic foods, and so on. It’s just my wife and I but we do love repeated some of our favorite dishes now and then like pot roast, soups, stews, pesto, Italian, Mediterranean, BBQ, Soul Food, and more. Unfortunately we have limited room in our freezer but we are intent on getting a freezer. Thank you ladies for introducing this concept. Although we prefer cooking from scratch, your methods and advice are extremely helpful.

They are giving the fundamentals. I mean if you wanted to go for homemade salsa you can always pick some up from the Deli or make it yourself. Same with the seasonings. You can always get frozen veggies or organic canned veggies instead. Let’s just be thankful we have two ladies giving is some great ideas.

My BIL recently was diagnosed with cancer. He & his wife have a 10YO that she home schools. She works part-time, and he has a super stressful 60+ hr/week job. Hubby & I made 10 of your freezer meals so they would have easy dinners while he goes thru chemo. (They loved the Hawaiian meatballs!) Having been a bit intimidated by the Instant Pot, i hadn’t used it for making much more than soup. These dinners were so easy that hubby and I plan to fill our RV freezer with ready-made meals for our next trip. Thank you so much!

These are great! My wife and I are senior citizens. It is sometimes hard to prep a meal for 2. My wife isn't able to cook any longer so I am tasked with co ing up with ideas and cooking meals. I am going to tr these, but will mix up one big batch, for about 6 servings and package them up into quart freezer bags and then put 3 bags into a 1 gallon bag. They should freeze longer. I think this would be a great way to fix some meals. It would also be nice to share with a sick or shut in friend. Thanks for sharing. I will be checking out more of your ideas as Super moms like you are not the only ones needing quick, easy, nutritious meals!

I love that you use a lot of canned ingredients. It makes everything very easy to put together, and I am a big fan of the chicken dish that has the salsa and taco seasoning, corn, black beans, and canned tomatoes. It’s one of my favorites, I forget the exact title right now, but I love to keep that on hand because it’s delicious.

As a working mom of five I cannot tell you how much I appreciate videos like this because I look at some other videos and they are awesome and very relaxing to look at but I don't have time to do 80 freezer meals I have to work so this is right up my alley thank you so much

My husband will be so happy when I buy those freezer bag holders. Never knew they existed! I always have him holding open the bag while I pour things in yelling at him the entire time not to move!

[stephaniebuzzella]

I'm a nurse, wife of a police officer, and mom of 4 busy & currently home/remote learning kids, so I'm kind of feeling like a chicken with my head cut off lately. I'm all about making my life easier! Thank you 💜

I just recently got into freezer prepping, that's how I discovered this channel. The Hawaiian meatballs are incredible, I just got done prepping them for a second time! I do add a jar of spaghetti sauce to mine. I made the pork green chili that was really good. Also did the ribs I thought that sauce came out tasting excellent. 6 hours on low was probably a little too long for my slow cooker and I should have known better, next time I'm going to cook those at 4 hours.

[juliedavis]

I really appreciate you including the slow cooker as well as Instapot

[adrieg]

Seriously, thank you so much! I’ve been busy as heck ever since my husband deployed. I work full time and was feeling guilty for the frequent fast food trips. This way I can meal prep and my boys and I can eat healthier. Much love from Colorado. Hugs and kisses

[jacquicunningham]

I’m going to try these but will start by adding the saucy ingredients first, giving the bag a good mix, and then adding the meat and chunky veg. I think it’ll mix better that way

[LiveLoveStella]

as a broke and usually lazy university student... this is genius!

[GreyJediNite]

I'm a guy in my late 20s with less and less time to cook (even tho I love to do so) vids like this have been extremely helpful. It's not just ladies that care about good food for cheap.

[Mrs.LadeyBug]

I just found you today for the first time! Due to an illness that appears to be long term, I’ve been looking for recipes that I can hire a cook to make for my family since I’m no longer able. (I never thought I’d need the help of a cook at my age, but... here I am and life has occurred. Take nothing for granted, young folks!) You have great ideas here AND you have such a sweet and friendly atmosphere. I’ll be subscribing! 👩🏼‍🍳

Love the video, I will reference it again and turn it into a drinking game while I'm prepping. Every time you say Krogers take a drink, every time you say instant pot take a drink... this will add some fun to the prep
