My sisters and I got together and made 80 breakfast burritos yesterday 🌯 for everyone to share for freezers!
That is awesome!
Cool! What recipe did you use?
Yes recipe please!
@@kimclark399 I just use the following and omit if someone doesn't like them. Each are rolled like a burrito and put tightly in Saran Wrap & froze until needed. Scrambled Eggs, Cooked Ground Pork (or real bacon pieces or diced ham), Peppers and Onions, Hash Browns (cubed or shredded), and cheese! ❤
@@kimberlyann8960 See comment I just posted
"If you think you'll remember, you won't." 💯 % Every time I tell myself, I'll remember, month later I have a mystery meal. 🤣
Having Christine body double with me while I audit my freezer, pantry and spice cabinet is my favorite ADHD hack.
The biscuits look amazing. Since you are using the jumbo flaky biscuits, you can pull each one apart and have double the biscuits and not so thick. That would allow you to use your regular sized muffin tins.
I was an adult before I learned that most people use ricotta to make lasagna. Mom always used cottage cheese. I imagine it was cheaper.❤
I don't like ricotta so always use cottage cheese. I think it's better!
I was taught to cook by my immigrant Italian grandma and we used ricotta cheese, i never even knew what cottage cheese was until i was an adult lol
My mom, too. Always used cottage cheese.
Cottage is certainly more accessible.. in my world anyway. But I actually prefer cottage over ricotta ALL DAY LONG. To me the ricotta is akin to baby throw up. So yah it's a hard pass for me 😜😀
Same here. It was always cottage cheese.
When are you coming out with a cookbook? "Frugal Fit Mom's Quick Weeknight Dinners", "Frugal Fit Mom's Freeze Ahead Meals: One Weekend at a Time!", "Frugal Fit Mom's Fly By The Seat Of Your Pants Meals: What's on Sale and use up meals"
Handy tip: When I am trying to get the last of any sauce out of a bottle or jar, I add like a quarter cup of water to it and shake it to get the leftover sauce. Then I pour it out into my dish and add another tablespoon more water and shake that.
I find this method empties out almost every last drop of the sauce from the bottle 😊
Same here.
Thank you for getting me back on the meal prepped train. Instead of coming home from work and eating chips, cereal, ice cream etc because I’m too tired to make dinner, I just toss in the slow cooker, instant pot, oven etc and relax (I’m finally losing with due to eating right!) thank you !!!
I had to pause the video and grab my note book. ❤😂
I love canned peas!! I’m a weirdo😂. When I was a kid, I’d come home from school starving cuz I was too cool to eat lunch at school!! I’d open a can of peas and heat them up and eat them dipping bread in them 😂. I still do it!!! I’ve made so many of your recipes and without fail every single time my grand brats love them!!!!
Canned peas!!!! You really are a weirdo
I love canned peas, too 😂 and carrots and peas canned together 😅
@@bhfleer yayyyy!!!! Fellow pea lover!!!!
I adore canned peas since I was a child!
The only use for canned peas is a shooting contest with a spoon and the ceiling. They never served peas in high school because the ceiling was dotted with peas.
You can do the french toast on a baking sheet coated in melted butter. Much easier than standing at the griddle forever.
Great idea! It reminds me of sheet pan pancakes. So easy & just as tasty.
About how long and what temp? I would love to try! Thanks for sharing 😀
@mamamoments4U 350 about 10-15 minutes, flip, and cook another few minutes until both sides are brown. Just did this this weekend with the apple fritter bread from Target. It was so good!
@@DonnaSmith-ff2wu thank you very much, I'm very excited to try! Oh yum that sounds delicious.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip 😀
I watched over a 3 day period. Hard to choose where to start.... so many good recipes to try. Very impressed with the variety of meals you serve your family. I feel like I repeat the same thing over and over. Thanks for all you do. Very inspiring.
Try the Taco Casserole - amazing!!
Having meals in the freezer is such a helpful way to prevent stopping for dinner out and blowing your food budget. I always try to cook one for now and one to store in my freezer so we always have a stash of meals on hand. :)
I have a culinary degree in baking/ pastry- vinegar is absolutely the secret ingredient to pie crust. You made my heart smile when you used it!
Evaporated milk works well as a heavy cream replacement in most cases. I always keep it on hand because of it's longer shelf life since I don't usually keep heavy cream on hand.
Oh thx bc I never have that specialty type stuff on hand! ❤❤❤
Good tip
I've tried that but I hate the taste of evaporated milk.
I'm with you.@@gramcracker1616
If have a trader Joe's, they have shelf stable containers of heavy cream that are great to have on hand (especially since zuppa Toscano is my fave)
Currently 33 weeks pregnant and binge watching your videos to prepare freezer meals.
I love using plastic containers lined with freezer bags! No need dirty a bowl even. And I love your humor - wisky business is hysterical! I think you're doing really well cleaning out your pantry!!
Beverage in hand. Family preoccupied. Ready to indulge in this video. Happy Monday! 😊
Right?! I love cooking and meal prepping “with” Christine!
😂
You should try adding cream cheese to the white chicken chili!! One of my faves
Love this video….great dishes for family gatherings! I add just a tad of water in those almost empty bottles of barbecue sauce…put the top back on, give it a good shake, and I’ve used every drop of barbecue sauce remaining!😀
The day I learned to use a big cookie scoop to scoop muffins in!🎉
No more awkward pour, or trying to us a measuring cup but all uneven sizes, or thick batter not wanting to come out.
😂lol. I like the weird words. It makes it light and fun. Keep it coming. The cornier the better. This meal prep is amazing. Thanks for putting all this effort. I did a little meal prep today since I have this holiday off from work, but maybe I will do some of these on the weekend.
Making freezer meals is a good idea to use up pantry/fridge and freezer items.
I bought jumbo shells by mistake, and didn't really know what I was going to do with them. That last recipe will be helpful.😊
I have made those Hawaiian sweet roll sandwiches several times for our Wednesday night Bible study, I did roast beef and provolone, ham and American cheese, and smoked turkey with Monterey Cheddar, I did a garlic butter sauce on top, yes a huge crowd pleaser!!!!
Love your videos, I share them with everyone!❤
I add pineapple to the ham and cheese and add a garlic butter on top...so good!!!
I love watching freezer meal prep . I would love to see the reverse happen . What happens the day you need to use sed freezer meal ? How do you reheat etc
I’m wondering the same. Do you defrost these recipes first or cook from frozen?
omg, I remember a lot of these recipes, but I had forgotten the ingredient list for most of them.😮 It's nice to have them all-in-one spot -I saved this to use later, Thank you for making me laugh as I'm watching you cook. Great ideas, You're a very pleasant person to watch. Hope you enjoy your holidays, And happy 2024.🎉
Yaaassss!!! Thank you:) That was a ton of great recipes. I couldn’t imagine all the work you put into making this video. You’re a badass Christine. 💪 Teaching women to handle life like a boss. Freezer meals are where it’s at.
It must be something in the fall weather that has many of us thinking the same way. Make ahead meals and make our lives easier as we get busy this fall. I even make multiple loaves of homemade bread, mini loaves of zucchini bread and 3 grape streusel coffee cakes. I did 6 quarts of zuppa toscana soup, 20 breakfast burritos and 20 chicken and black bean burritos. I then ran out of freezer space. We did 24 beef pasties last week and those hog a lot of freezer space. 😊 When I have more room I can't wait to try your chicken taquito recipe first. Then I will work my way through the rest of your recipes.
I just saw this on Seed and Sparrow Homestead! Kelsie was considering if she could buy the bag stand thing you were using instead your pitcher. She saw someone use their jar lifter thing (no idea what it's called) she uses for canning, turned over with a bag placed over the top. Very stable & loved it. Credit given where credit's due!!😊
I love that a lot of your recipes are go with what you have vs these specific things. Makes things so much easier.
I see old counter tops, back splash, and fridge in this video once again. 😉
Such great ideas! Suggestion: On the Korean beef and rice- please try gochugaru instead of red pepper flakes some time. They are roasted Korean chili flakes, pretty inexpensive, delicious and a different kind of heat- like warming instead of burning. Completely different but sooo good.
just a tiny comment for other 2 person or small households. just as Christine uses the freezer containers that work for HER family of 6; use freezer containers that work for YOU. for me her recipes make many more meals than for her family. freeze on everybody!!
I love these types of videos you do so much! I know you've done the extreme budget videos already but if you make another one I wouldn't be sad! You always have such great advice
I need friends like you totally on the same wavelength, thank you for sharing your journey
Yesssss!!! I binge watched all your past episodes leaving up to the delivery of our baby. Now that he is here, I am so happy for a full freezer. And now that I am nap trapped I am excited to watch 😆
Those biscuits in the muffin tin filled with stuff! 🤤
lots of chicken, burger, eggs and cheese with delicious side ideas. what's not to love? you must have a dedicated freezer.
I once went to shake a glass bottle of ketchup like you were doing and I didn't know but the lid was not screwed on. I was on a cruise ship in the dining room and I splattered ketchup all over the ceiling and wall like a crime scene. Thanks for the video!
Where have you been sweet girl??? Just showed up on my feed this morning and I've been binge watching you for 2 hours with no end in sight. Love your style, your recipes but most of all your humor! Keep it up, I'll be watching diligently from now on.❤❤
I wanna go to Christine’s house for weekend breakfasts. Everything looks sooo yummy.
I am not a morning person, but I am a full time foodie. My mouth is literally watering here. 😛
Man, I’m really missing the days when I had a freezer. There’s no room for one where I am now.
Loving this video. Need to definitely cook along 😊. My husband and I always enjoy your funny words!! Dubbily do, sprinkle dinkle! It’s all good. Haters just gonna hate 😜. I like to share your meal ideas with my 30 ish old kids. Thanks for all you do ❤
Thank you for all these ideas. I don’t have a big enough freezer to store these but I sure can use your recipes for my suppers !! Thank you for sharing !❤️❤️❤️
I love this video Christine, thanks for all the great recipes ❤
Thanks for all the recipes! So many ideas! Little tip for the french toasts: if you beat the eggs with the cinnamon before adding milk, the cinnamon mixes in better and doesn’t float to the top.
Great tip - thank you! The cinnamon thing drives me up the wall!
i also have a favorite chicken marinade and it's basically identical to your rosemary mustard recipe. my fav way to cook the chicken with that mixture is on the grill. everyone loves it!
I absolutely adore when you include Kimberly Whisk! Thanks for sharing these recipes. I’m going to try the rosemary mustard chicken, my partner is a mustard fiend.
Oh my goodness!! So many wonderful choices!!! Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 🎉
Frugal fit mom thanks you for doing this omg frugal fit to the rescue, new chicken ideas praise god, i go shopping this week and i have almost everything you have used except for two things ,im ready for this.
Love all your videos. What would be a great is to incorporate a shopping or gathering list of food items for us to purchase that go along with your videos. Make sure I have all so i can cook along with you. Thanks !
Just watched…not sure how I missed it before. You use whatever words you want to, I love the silly words, it makes cooking fun and who doesn’t understand or love a “sprinkles dink”❤️❤️❤️
I keep shelf stable sour cream, milk, buttermilk, and/or cream on hand all the time and it works great for thickening all your creamy stuff because you can rehydrate them with as much or little water as you want - it is more expensive than the potatoes but I find more versatility with it.
I love using powdered buttermilk. I never have fresh on hand & find ways to use it all up in time.
Such great timing here! I was just looking for more *Christine* freezer meals last week. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!!
Great video Christine! I love the mix of short and occasionally longer videos you create. Thank you for all the yummy meal prep ideas. Will definitely be making a lot of these meals.
Need to publish a recipe book Christine. The other cooking CZcamsrs are doing it. I just bought one from another CZcamsr. I cherish it because I watched so many of his videos. It sold out fast too. I was lucky to get it. I promise to buy your recipe book if you write one.
Great idea! Count me in! ✋🏻
I learned from Becky at Acre Homestead for garlic and Ginger prep- do a bunch at a time, and rough puree in the food processor, and freeze in cubes. Then use as you like. I LOVE this! Cause i LOVE fresh garlic and the premade kind at the stores have different tastes, and I never go through ginger fast enough. Total game changer.
That was amazing Christine!!! Lots of meals. I have just started freezer meals as an empty nester. I put meals in serving sizes of two instead of four into bags. I also loved seeing a sneak peek of Kimberly Whisk in there too! 🤣
I made the Taco Casserole for dinner tonight. It is amazing!!!!! SO good!! Definitely going onto our “make it often” list!! Thank you!
So on the burritos I will take out whatever meat is left over chop it up whether it’s roast or brisket or whatever chop it up sauté onions and bell pepper and cheese add some salsa oh and beans they love beans and wrap them in the tortilla and put a light coat of either butter or Olive oil on the tortilla and pan fry them lightly to get them crispy as well and the guys love them they think they got them at a taco truck 🌮
I have been binging your recipe videos today and I'm soooo excited to try them all!!
These all look fantastic! And a way to get variety especially when your family's "what's for dinner" game is strong and your will to come up with ideas has been tapped out that week. 😜
I love lasagna (and so does the family) but I hate making it, so I cheat and just do lasagna roll ups. It is probably the same amount of work or more (who knows), but works for us 😉) I just do meat in the sauce then ricotta, Parm, mozz blend with cookie scoop and smear on individual noodles roll and add to dish pour sauce all over and add more mozz on top.
Love these recipes! I'm definitely doing this when I'm expecting baby #2. How nice to not worry about what's for dinner! Love that it's not a bunch of processed junk. Everything sounds so good! ❤
This is frigging AMAZING!!! Thank You Soooooooo Much! Omg, I think I have my meal planning done! 😂 I have to watch bc I was washing dishes and cleaning the house, but I'm doing this, and my mela prepping will be perfect! You are AWESOME!
Wow, loved this video!! SO MUCH inspiration! Already making some of these recipes.
I like most of the recipes! I'm glad you made this video. I'll be able to make a lot of freezer meals now! 😀
Love some of these ideas I’m asking my bestie if she wants to have a freezer cooking night we can still visit and fun but also make food for the freezers which will help on those lazy nights ❤❤ thanks for the video! I like the long video and watch an increments if needed you have so many wonderful ideas 💡
FYI.... I saw a commercial for storage bags with a flat bottom. They must be new. They would make our bag filling easier. I saw the commercial Jan. 2024.
Thanks for all your GREAT recipes and ideas.
Aldi has an Italian Dressing and Zesty Italian Dressing. They are mixed within each other.
I love that you call it "shaker cheese"! We call it sprinkle cheese it our family. What's in there? Who knows, but it's shakey/sprinkley & delicious!
OMG Christine there are so many to choose from i may have to watch this again to decide thank you so much for sharing your talent and humor with us.❤❤❤
Hey there!
Regarding *_using up condiments_* like that mustard and salsa:
You can _fully_ use up /empty out them by adding a bit of water and vinegar (or milk, if you like and that suits) and shake it up.
Esp. for cooking that's a great method.
(For sandwiches you have to be careful with the amount of water you add, of course. 😅)
I agree Christine, sandwiches are life !!
"My friends over you" started playing 😂😂
Good job filming this. Fast and snappy. They all look very good. Can't wait for the invite. I'll bring my appetite. :)
That was truly amazing! Thank you from a fellow busy and frugal mama❤
Love this channel❤Two tricks I have
When I bake those baked sandwiches I use everything bagel seasoning instead of the poppy seeds. Delicious
And when I make sloppy joes, I make extra and then use it as filling for stuffed peppers. I freeze the leftover sloppy joe until I need it. Comes out great.
I use sloppy Joe's for coney dogs
Mmm, sloppy Joe stuffed peppers!
Rogue and Speedy for president!!! Does Dave not love oregano in general or maybe not Italian but Mexican? There's something so satisfying about finishing off something in your pantry that has taken forever 😂
.Probably the best freezer meal video i have ever seen!
What a great selection of dishes! Some I have seen, some I have made and some fantastic new ones. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us ideas for freezer meals.
I have made the traditional Ricotta/spinach stuffed shells, but never thought of them having a taco twist. Sounds good!
What a great video Christine I just love your energy and all these delicious recipes !
For cream of mushroom soup, you should try Magnolia Table’s recipe from book 3 (as well as the cream of chicken, stock, and a couple others)…it is SO GOOD! And easy when you have mushrooms that need to be used. The other ingredients are things you’d usually have anyway! New viewer-LOVE your channel!!!
Absolutely love these marathons 👏
Sweet to think of your neighbors too!
Amazing cooking video🎉🎉🎉love this ❤ will be cooking the taco stuffed shells
Use an empty #10 can to hold your gallon bags open. Super sturdy, large opening, and inexpensive. If you use a side-cutting can opener, there’s no sharp edges.
I like big books and I cannot lie 🤣🤣🤣 Same, girl. Same!
Love these longer cooking videos! Thank you !
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing! 😊
I know this was 4 months ago ago but it popped up today and I have been doing the crazy cooking day today and I just watched and rewound as needed. I’m for sure gonna try. ❤❤❤
I make the chicken pesto in the crock pot, but I add ranch dressing mix. So delicious and a family favorite.
OMG!!! This video is amazing!! Girl i am 62 years young and you tought me so much!! ❤😊🎉
40:02 my friends over you love that song. Love the recipes ❤
I use my four or eight cup measuring cup to hold my bags when prepping meals. It allows the bag to be fully opened and wide mouthed.
I Can't wait to start trying many of these. I'm also going to encourage my daughter to check your channel out.
Weird words are awesome!!! Keep 'em coming like whisky business, XD, luv it !!!!!!!
Wow!!! They all look so good. I just have to eat some room in my freezer and I will try a few. This was such a fun video.
I'm way late watching this lol but frozen or very cold Butter, grate it into the dry pastry ingredients. FABULOUS. This all looks so great!❤
Fascinated with the coconut oil. I need to put mine in the microwave to just get a icecream scoop through it. It lives in a cupboard too not the fridge. Colder climates.😊
They all sound and look amazing. Will have to go back and watch it again to narrow down which I will try first. It's just my sister and I so I plan to make some to share with friends. Can't wait to give them a try. Love your energy.
