So glad to hear it! 🤗🤗 Yes, isn't that funny. I'm always trying to get away with conserving as much parchment paper as possible so was so happy to figure out you really don't need much to make sure they don't stick. Or as someone else mentioned here, you could freeze them all separately on a baking tray first, and then once they're frozen, stack them in a ziploc. Doing that will work as well, I just never have space for a full baking tray in my freezer! Lol!
We also love freezing pancakes. I make a dbl batch, lay extra on parchment lined cookie sheet, freeze then put in baggie. Since were frozen separately easy to grab just one. I also freeze my rice. Make as usual and cool. Spread on parchment lined cookie sheet. Once frozen break apart and put in baggie. I use a rubber mallet to separate any clumps then pop in freezer. Easy to pour out what I need, cover & microwave. Comes out like just made. Happy prepping.
Love this!! I never have space in my freezer for a baking sheet but that is a *great* way to do both pancakes & rice! (And veggies that otherwise like to clump too! Bananas, beets, etc. 😋) Great tip thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@LetsEatPlants me too no space for baking pan but i use the tray for my ice cube and use that. I freeze my sourdough bread too and i cut up my used parchment to put in between slices. I also reuse the plastic that comes from my mom’s store bought bread.
You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed! YES omg those containers are so great. I wish I knew where my MIL got them! She got them years ago and can't remember herself, but I've been checking Amazon ever since looking for similar. 😂😂 These are quite similar: amzn.to/3kS5HDs (we also have a set of these) and here are a couple glass options if you prefer glass: amzn.to/3WMKxDR and amzn.to/3WNY2TK I always make sure to use wide mouth for soups!
Where do you get your soup containers? The one you held up looks like some I got years ago from grandma but they are like half cup size that she gave me.
Hey Paula, I wish I knew where my MIL got them! She got them years ago and can't remember herself, but I've been checking Amazon ever since looking for similar. 😂😂 These are quite similar: amzn.to/3kS5HDs (we also have a set of these) and here are a couple glass options if you prefer glass: amzn.to/3WMKxDR and amzn.to/3WNY2TK I always make sure to use wide mouth for soups! Not exactly the same, but pretty close. 🤗
I do understand that cost can be a concern and the course is not for everyone. However, I aim to provide a high-quality course that offers great value. I've actually had students tell me that they've already saved more than the cost of the course just by implementing the strategies they've learned! Food waste and over-buying unnecessary items is also expensive, and I know that meal prep can help with both of those. 😊
Another excellent video Maddie and good meals for putting in the freezer for lazy or I can't be bothered to cook days ( which happens at least once a week). Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤Maddie & Q from Scotland.
Just this one so far! That’s a great video idea though. 😃😃 Usually I don’t do a separate freezer prep, I work it into my batch preps, but occasionally I’ll make specific freezer items like I did in this vid.
@@dovaillancourt I don’t. 🥺🥺 I’ll work on one! Usually it’s just beans and then I rotate staples that are easy to reheat: waffles, pancakes, smoothies, chili, soup, curry, etc. This makes it easy for weekend breakfast or lazy weeknight dinners. I keep a lot of frozen veggies on-hand too (store bought) so that I can always make a veggie side in a pinch, or throw some into smoothies. Always freeze store bought bread (sliced) to make it last longer, and tofu as well. And lastly specialty items that I buy a lot of and then freeze. For example if organic ginger is cheap, I’ll buy a lot and shred it in the food processor and then make it into cubes to pop out. You can do the same with garlic. 😊
Only a few more days until The Let's Eat Plants Meal Prep Course is closed! More info here: bit.ly/LEPmealprepcourse Would love to see you there! 🤗🤗
I like to make a big batch of steel cut oats in the instant pot then freeze individual 1-cup servings. Makes for such a convenient breakfast!
Love that! Oatmeal freezes great as well. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
This was really helpful. I appreciate the strip of parchment between the waffles. I didn’t realize a strip was enough in between each one. Thanks.

@@ima7333 Love it! 😃😃
I never thought to freeze my stir fry sauce 🤯 I’ll be doing that moving forward😁
Right!? 🤩 Glad it was helpful! 🤗🤗
What a fabulous idea 💞 I am so freezing that stirfry sauce. I think you just changed my life 😂 I love stirfrys 🥰
I agree, such a smart idea!
Thanks, Samantha! It's helped me out a lot so happy to share! 🤩🤩 We love them too!
It's summer here in Australia but I look forward to trying out that soup when it gets cooler.
It’s one of our favorites! 🤗🤗
That butternut carrot ginger soup looks amazing! Thanks for the inspiration :)
It’s a winter favorite for us for sure! And you’re very welcome. 🤗🤗
I made the soup and OMG. It’s delicious, even my husband loved it!!! I used kabocha squash and it had a little sweetness to it.
Thx
Woohoo! Such a win Terry!! Glad your husband liked it too! 🥰🥰
That soup looks amazing, and I’ve got a squash sitting on my counter! ❤
Woohoo! Enjoy! 🤗🤗
I love frozen veggies and had no idea Costco sells a stir fry mix. I will be adding that to my next shopping list!
Wohoo! Ours actually has a couple different kinds so yes, definitely check it out! 😊😊
That butternut soup looks like a rotation for me.
Can I use cabucha squash??
It’s so yummy & easy and YES you can sub for any squash (including kabocha squash) or even leave it out and use more carrots! 😋😋
I'm going to make the Carrot Ginger Soup during my meal prep Sunday! You're always full of great ideas! Thanks, Maddie! 💕
Wohoo! So glad to hear that. 😋 Enjoy! 🤗🤗
Thank you for these recipes. Can’t wait to try these! Could you share where you get your containers with the blue lids from? Thanks! 🙏

Oh also, the ones I’m using in this vid are Ball brand. 😊
@@LetsEatPlants so are the ones I have. Maybe they don't make them anymore.
@@paulawallace6688 Oh I wonder if that’s true!! I’ve been on the hunt for a while and never seen them. 😞😞
Your classes are way too expensive for me 😔

Thanks David! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Happens weekly for us as well. 🤪 Indeed so lovely to have options on-the-ready. Glad you enjoyed! 🥰💕
Hi Maddie. Do you have a video with everything you freeze for meal prep ? Thanks !

@@LetsEatPlants Do you have a list or PDF by any chance ?

@@dovaillancourt No worries! 🤗🤗
Great tips! I just made homemade soup and needed the freezer tips. Thank you!
You’re welcome! So glad it was helpful! 🤗🤗
I think I need to make a soup like that this week!!
It’s one of our favorites in winter! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🥶❄️
