The fact that she can tell the difference between peppers is exactly why she can also taste something and know exactly how to remake it at home!!! Thank you!! Btw, love the club!!
So, so happy to hear you love the Club! Happy New Year Dawn!
Ive never done freezer meals. You’ve inspired me! I made 21 meals in about 2 hours!! 🎉🎉 I did prep yesterday and bagged them all today 😃 WOOO! HOOO! What a great feeling
Dana!!! Way to go! We're so happy for you. Isn't it the BEST feeling?!
The feeling of accomplishment is AMAZING! The worry of what to make for dinner, at least for those days, is gone. Thank you again. I love your channel 🩷
Sorry. I wanted to tell you I only spent $45-$50 dollars. 21 meals for that price? WOW
@@danamann2604also, if you don’t have the motivation/energy to keep cooking after that (which I can understand after 2 hours), you can just do the same 1-2 weeks later, and you’ll still be in time to turn out with more than you had after the first session. So good. I’m still busy finding more recipes to have some more variation but this is so good for me. Both for my health, and my money.
You know I LOVE all the small meals. Perfect for my elderly parents, perfect for my college son, perfect for us as empty nesters! Wonderful!!!❤❤❤
So glad to help!
I love the smaller meals because it is something my daughter can cook the night before and take to school. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Hii just wanted to say i love and appreciate these vids so much! Im 20yo and disabled, i have very minimal energy levels and this is so helpful
We are so pleased to hear that they are helpful for you. Freezer meals are a great option for those with limited mobility. Make a bunch of meals when you feel great and be happy to have them on days when mobility is a little tougher. Thanks so much for your note!
I'm so happy I found this channel!!! Due soon with baby and a 3 year old toddler. Going shopping tomorrow to do this!!!
Congratulations on the upcoming addition! Having meals made ahead is going to make things so much easier. Let us know if you have any questions. We're happy to help!
I am a vegetarian but I love watching your videos regardless of the ingredients bc faux meat (impossible or beyond brands are my fave) will swap 1:1 in almost every instance! I get sooo many ideas; I’m putting soyrizo on my shopping list today! Thank you!
Glad I made you smile. Thanks for all the good tips!
Wonderful recipes thank you! I love Sharla’s comment that nothing about freezer meals has to be perfect!
I have been binge watching your videos this week, and am so excited to get started!!! I have been inspired to do the freezer meals to help with my portions and help to save money. As an empty nester, I just love your recipes and watching you ladies work is such a blessing!! Thank you for the videos!
Aw! Thanks so much! We're glad you found us too!
Thanks ladies, listening to you guys speak it doesn't take long to know you actually understand what it's like trying to do everything food related for my wife and son!
A lot goes into feeding a family! And while I don't know what all you have to do specifically to feed your wife and son, I know that it's probably challenging. If we're helping you in that way, I'm happy about it. ☺️ All the best to you! Thanks for watching.
Oh and this video is still great for a family of 4!
Thank you, Im excited to get menus for 2. This will help so much!!! God bless you both, I really like all your videos, I rewatch videos all the time😮. From grandma Katie in Oregon
Thank you so much for watching grandma Katie!
Thank y’all for sharing your skills with us. Thank you so much for my apron I won on your contest, I love love it ❤️
You're welcome! So glad to hear you love your apron!!! 💜
Potato balls!!! Yay. I’m an empty nester who often has house guests. Love having a lot it a little
Potato balls! That made me laugh out loud! Excellent.
You gals are on a roll, keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!
You gals are on a roll, keep up the great work!!!,
Thanks!!!
I did this at the weekend and have so far tried the chicken rice, sloppy Joe's and the mash. LOVE
So awesome! Way to go!
Youre in my brain again!!! Chicken soup casserole was on my list! Im using leftover Christmas turkey rhat needs to be used TODAY!!!
Perfect!
Ok I’m guilty of the door dash…just two weeks a friend of mine were busy with Christmas fudge and cookies cooking and baking like crazy people lol. We ordered door dash. 48.00 later we had dinner! So feeding two one meal each for almost half of the cost of 30? Dang I have to get back into the swing Happy New year ladies and all
Happy New Year!
WOW I’ve never seen a more complete idea for a meal club!! It’s exciting the filtering, super-organized person in me! Gonna try some of these and might try your meal club soon, thanks for the great info
Yay! Thank you! Hope to see you in the Club!
You sure can taste the difference between the colors of peppers. Even my dog's taste the difference. They go crazy for red, kind of like orange, occasionally they'll tolerate yellow and they absolutely will not touch green. Incidently, the rest of our family agree with them.
The frozen mash potato scoops is genius! I can’t wait to do this.
They're great!
You two are so funny 😂
I love that you are here in Sherwood Park. Me too! Just came across your page!! Love it!
We love that! 💗
Thank y’all for sharing your skills with us. Thank you so much for my apron I won on your contest, I love love it ️
Oh yay! That's so great. Glad you're still watching. ☺️ Thanks ks!
I don’t freeze prep much because I prefer taste fresh and we don’t have a lot of space, but I love watching your videos! And I can tell the difference with peppers. Green and to me yellow don’t taste like any so I have to cook them, red is the best flavor especially eating raw with dips
Thank you ladies! My hubby drives a big rig, he's home every other month(we're in the process of renovating a house).
So glad this will be helpful for you. Good luck with the renos!
Great video, I don't mass meal prep like this but I do meal prep. I cook once a week and then freeze all (or all but one serving) of my left overs! It is very helpful.
I also wanted to call out using Deli Containers instead of bags as a re-usable option. 1 pint size deli container is about 1 meal for the typical adult. They may take up a little bit more room than bags due to their shape, but theyre re-usable and cheap!
Thanks so much! There are many ways to do meal prep and whatever works is great. I agree, deli containers are a great option for individual meals. We have some that are freezer safe and microwave safe, which is great to have. ☺️
I used quart bags and froze my last batch of turkey pot pie and turkey noodle soup to save room in my freezer
Really like you two❤
Thank you!
I agree I can taste the difference in peppers... the green ones are bitter to me. Only red, orange or yellow peppers in my house.
Sharla needs to do a blind pepper taste test for us! Like the old cola commercials!
1 month of meals for $100, my first thought was man this must be a video from 10 years ago 😆I have very little freezer space but I like the idea of this. I am going to try it and leave out the pasta or grain and just cook that the day of because it cooks really quick in my instant pot, and mix in the thawed sauced meat/veg preps in the last few minutes of cooking. thanks :)
If you're really diligent about finding sales, it can be done! We hear from people all the time that they are now able to eat better, with more variety because of making freezer meals. They are sometimes on fixed incomes and didn't feel like they had a lot of options, but now with a bit of planning, they can have a much more balanced diet. We're so happy when we can help people this way! Thanks so much for watching!!
Surreeeeee drop a video while I'm ALREADY OUT SHOPPING FOR JAN...I see how you ladies are... harumph 😢

I make homemade sloppy joes. I noticed it was a bit too sweet when I was first making it. One time I was out of brown sugar and used white instead. Less sweet and been making it that way ever since. Others may notice this too.
Isn't that great that we can adapt things to our liking - especially after a happy accident like that!?
Happy New Year! I can't wait to try all these recipes. I enjoy your videos so much and it inspires me to try new things.
I have a quick question, have you announced the winners of your 12 Days of Christmas contest yet? With the business of the season, did I miss the announcement?
Happy New Year to you as well!
All the winners are announced on the page where everyone entered and the winners have been emailed.

How much is membership? Thank you lady’s for sharing your recipes. I look forward to it.
$9 a month or $79 for the full year

How do you reheat the freezer meal...can u explain that too
Most of the meals can just be reheated in the microwave. Allow them to thaw and then heat them up for 2-3 minutes.
How do I heat up the meatball meals please. Dummy here😅
No such thing as a silly question! You can heat them in a small stovetop pot on medium-low or in the microwave.
Think of a plate and literally draw a plate at draw 3 to 4 lines then add what you want to eat. Use the food pyramid it makes it easier and funnier!!!😊I hope this helps.
Hello, I love your videos!! I have tried to join the freezer meals 101 club but the website is not going through. Is there tech support or something I could contact?
I'm sorry to hear you're running into issues. Please email us at support@freezermeals101.com and we will get that sorted for you.
Where can I get the foil pans that you used for the tortellini dish? I was hoping for something on amazon because we live several hours from a cosco - although only one hour from Sam’s club
You can find those in our Amazon store here: www.amazon.com/shop/freezermeals101/list/WW6HCZABBMZI?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsffreezermeals101_D3D4NY7H03TJW0S50K6P
Thank you for the link, but I had already checked there & I do not see the foil pans. Unless I’m completely missing something obvious - which I do from time to time. 🫣😁
No worries! They are in the Freezer Meals Supplies part and they are the 8th thing listed.
@@FreezerMeals101now that’s embarrassing! Thank you so very much
How do cook the frozen meatballs
You can heat them in a small stovetop pot or skillet over medium-low until warmed through or in the microwave.
SHARLA! Did you paint your kitchen cabinets?!?!😳 They look AMAZING! How did you decide? White better for filming?
🌟🎉💞🥳🎊
Thank you! Yes! We totally decided to do it to make it brighter for filming. Added a pop of colour that I love for the island and put new counters and potlights. We've lived here for 17 years and have often talked about updating. So glad we finally did it. I love it!
It looks so so good!!!!!
❤️
Question.... where do you buy your gnocchi? I'm in BC, have looked at several stores in the cooler sections... at a loss. However, it is 4 for 20 this week... didn't get the extra 15% off but hey... I am stocked.
We get it at Save-On (I think they're called Overwaitea in B.C.) or Sobeys. It's with the fresh pasta (like the refrigerated ravioli). Yay 4 for 20!
@@FreezerMeals101 used to be overwaitea, been save on for years!!! I was there this morning. Hmmm dairy? I didn’t see ravioli either. They have a deli area at the front, checked that too.
When my kids were young, I shopped there all the time!!! 11 at night 🤣 was my break. Now I am an in and out person. Rarely go to more than one store.
i need the full recipe for the spanish rice
We've got it close to perfected but are still working on it (we're actually doing a slightly tweaked version in our upcoming mega session) so I don't have it ready quite yet...
hi... When we buy protein, like frozen chicken, and then we add sauce, spice etc, and we freeze again? is it good? when I prepare my baby food, the freeze food cannot be refreeze again if already thawed (in this case, is thaw and seasoned) . CMIIW
There are two "safe" ways to go about doing freezer cooking if you're going to be using frozen meat. One is to just quickly add your sauce, seasonings, and other ingredients and get it back in the freezer so that it has stayed frozen and the other is to cook it in between such as taking frozen chicken, cooking it, and adding the cooked (cubed or shredded) chicken into recipes and then freezing or browning previously frozen ground beef and adding it into recipes.
@@FreezerMeals101 thank you🩷 I am viewer from Indonesia
Can I make the mashed potatoes with heavy cream instead of sour cream? We aren’t sour cream fans. Do mashed potatoes with heavy cream freeze ok?
Also, I love the scoop idea! Going to Amazon now to find one
Yes! Heavy cream will work great.
You can also add a block of cream cheese
I’m with Charlotte. Yes you can tell the difference between peppers. 🫑 green peppers are a bit stronger in recipes. She’s definitely right.
Oh I believe her but I don't taste it myself. Lol
I noticed you say the ingredients are cooked so it just needs reheating, but the onion doesn't look cooked before putting in the bag. Are you cooking the onion ahead of time?
No. We find that the raw onion cooks enough for our tastes when reheating. You can always mince them smaller if you want them to be softer on cooking.
What label machine do you guys use
We print our labels on Avery or Staples labels. In our Freezer Meals 101 Club, we have the labels ready to print with the cooking instructions and date.
@@FreezerMeals101 thank you for getting back to me so fast I love your CZcams channel I wish I had $83 I would definitely become a club member just don't have it right now
Can you do a video on gluten and soya free freezer meals.
We have a gluten free freezer meals video here: czcams.com/video/W66wPgH6S9A/video.html Hope that helps!
@@FreezerMeals101 are they soy free as well
@@kazzie72mcdyou can substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce in recipes. We have been doing it for several years. My husband hates coconut, so he only learned what I’ve been using last year, once I knew he wouldn’t freak out. 😂
It tastes like soy sauce & not coconut!!
@@Tam-te5nh thank you
I can’t seem to sign up. Every time I click “Join Now”, it takes me to a page that says “your cart is empty”. Help!
Oh no! We can help. Please send an email to support@freezermeals101.com and we can help you get sorted.
I have been considering joining for a while now. This video mentioned a special offer. However, your website says it is good until January 9 “2023“. How is this current offer different from your regular offer?
Doh! That was me (Christie). I'll fix that! 😳 2024!!!
The current offer is a bonus worth over $200 of all the meal plans and digital cookbooks in our collection. Good until January 9, 2024. Thank you for helping us catch the mistake on the year!
"...it depends on the age of the chicken..." 😂
Also, don't forget 1 cup for 1 breast; that's the way I've always done it 😂😂😂
That's how we typically do it too but not all breasts are created equal so it can be confusing. I should have clarified that. Thanks!
@@FreezerMeals101 I personally enjoyed the laugh. As a 46 year old chicken myself.
trying to sign up, and it wont let me. saying i have an account?

All Club members get the bonus until January 9th!
@@FreezerMeals101 thanks for replying so fast. I just couldn't find them. Still a newbie to your site.
Another money and planet saving tip, reusable freezer bags.
In 2024 PLEASE offer seeding starting supplies in smaller quantities. 🙏🏼
Can you just make them from fresh.
Yes, all the recipes work from fresh as well.
What Store has 4 for $20.00 and 15% off ?? 😊
Save-on-Foods in Western Canada
It’s called my crisper. 😅😅😅
Pizza and Chinese food because you WANT TOO... is very different than becuase you HAVE TOO!!
yes ma'am! :D
I live alone so I love door dash😂😂😂😂😂
Chose one protein, 2vegetables, and one fruit. Drink water when eating dinner so you don't get full faster or have gas on your tummy making you fill bloated and tired.
I can totally taste the difference in the peppers. Green peppers are my least favorite.
Sharla here: green are my least favourite too!
i dont hear amount of each ingredient
Hi Barbara! You’ll find most of the full recipes in the description under the video.
Red pepper is sweeter than green peppers
Sad that the 1st dish was something that a Spanish person (like me) would cry seeing it. The forbidden paella for a Spaniard.
🤣 I'm sure that's true! Sorry we made you cringe. It's tasty though!
Hahaha I am sure it's good, I just can't do it, or my ancestors would curse me 😂 but with some chicken it would be really good! By the way, about freezing rice, when I tried in the past it turns out smashy when reheating it, it's so gross. Should I freeze it with no sauce and making sure that it has no remaining water? Or are there other tips to avoid this?
We've never had problems freezing rice, and other people say it gets mushy for them. Maybe it depends on the kind? We use long grain or sometimes minute rice (shhhhh! don't tell anyone) and honestly the minute rice holds up better. haha I think Basmati or Jasmine rice would be a bit too tender. Keep trying! Or plan the rice for the day of cooking. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!
I spend more money on door dash than I want to admit to
So you are claiming that the fried rice is just heant and eat? No frying required?
Yes, it's just a reheat. Unless you want to fry it to get more of that "fried rice" texture.
@@FreezerMeals101 oh. Not frying would taste awful!
Door dash and uber eats here 🇦🇺
Thank you! That's interesting to know.
I think I’ve seen this before…rerun??
Nope! We have quite a few videos on single serving freezer meals but only one other one of freezer meals for 2 people and that one was filmed about a year before the white kitchen! We will for sure be creating more videos on meals for two though as so many people need it.
I’m disappointed, I know you can’t keep promos going forever, but went to join the club for free, and it’s showing $7 a month. I’ve just come across you tonight, love what I’ve watched so far, so if I can afford it later, I’ll be back to join.
We're glad your found us and even if you can't join the Club right away, we have a lot of recipes at freezermeals101.com that you can look through and build a few smaller meal plans on your own. If you can take advantage of sales, it'll be so worth it! Thanks for watching!
Australians have Uber eats and DoorDash too, we aren’t a different species 😂
Sometimes we've had our Aussie viewers comment with things that are wildly different from how things are here so we like to check. 🤷♀️
Skip the Dishes looks like they are the same company that owns Grubhub in the US. Whatever delivery service, we know it's expensive!
