I appreciate you watching my videos! Here’s 18 NEW freezer meals: th-cam.com/video/QF2VYcvvMrc/w-d-xo.html Here’s some of the products I used in todays video: baggie racks amzn.to/3ZSFGnr My favorite slow cookers - amzn.to/3Hmwost and amzn.to/3D626HT Here’s my favorite meat masher: amzn.to/3D8EUci Again thank you for being here and supporting me 💗
I'm chronically ill and my depression has been really bad lately so getting meals together seems monumental many days. After seeing your video, I feel inspired to do a meal prep day & get all these meals prepared so I won't have to stress out about getting dinner on the table. Thank you Julia! I appreciate your channel so much❤️
I am so very glad that this video can help you Dee. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me to know that you feel inspired by my videos considering how difficult many of your days are. That really does mean a lot to me. Thank you so much for watching and hoping that your days can get better🙏Please take care of yourself!
the same here I live with MS and one of my leg doesn't work anymore... those recipes will help me when my helpers doesnt make to me... (its winter in Canada) so I will eat something other than toast YeaHH!!!
Awww Dee Son, I’m so sorry you feel this way and glad that Julia’s ideas help you, I think she’s such a sweet,good hearted soul. I pray that you get to feeling better soon. Sending hugs, prayers and positive vibes your way! 🥰
I love the idea of just throwing the ingredients into a bag and tossing into the freezer. Plus, crockpot cooking in the dead of winter is such a comfy thing! Thanks Julia! I think I speak for all of your followers in saying we appreciate all the work you do to help us out. You're the best.💕
I think it.was her had baby crock pot potatoes.receipe omg sooo good...soo easy...and.great with the steak i made..potoes ranch butter and a bit of.water ..they said 4 hours mine took 2
Oh Lissa! Thank you so very much for that sweet compliment! That really does make my day. I do appreciate my loyal followers so very much. I hope you know that! Have a wonderful rest of your week💜
My 91 yr. old Aunt had a big surgery and is slow recovering. I plan to make up a couple of these to take with me when I go to clean during this coming week. I plan to put the food in a slow cooker bag inside a freezer bag for ease of clean up. Great timing Julia. Thank you!
All of these recipes look delicious! They would be great ideas for someone who is expecting a baby and they can have them in the freezer and ready to go when mom and baby get home, great idea!
I’m so impressed with your recipe videos. I love how simplified you make them for us to follow. Now that I’m a lot older I don’t always have the energy for a all day cooking from scratch recipe, yes those are fresh home cooked deliciousness, but I have to admit I’ve tried a lot of yours & they are just as delicious. It’s great how a few items can really taste awesome together. Thank you for all your kindness, time and help in making these videos
Me too, I just don’t have the energy anymore so this gives us a great dinner with minimal fuss, I still love to cook but standing over the counter really makes me achey!
That is so kind Sheri. Thank you so very much for that compliment. I really do appreciate it and I really do appreciate you being one of my loyal subscribers!😀
Everything looks delicious. I hope to go visit my family back East in the Fall. My Dad will be 91 years old this year and gets around the kitchen pretty well for himself. When I visit, I like to fix him things that he doesn't fix himself and freeze the leftovers so he can enjoy them when I return to Montana. I think he will enjoy all of these recipes. Thanks so much for all the recipes. Have a great week.
These recipes are so EASY you could make them without making them ahead. I love that they are also so affordable and have minimal prep work. I just love how you don't take 15 minutes to explain a simple recipe. Please keep these videos coming, you're truly helping so many people. May God continue to bless this channel.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having surgery. I sure do hope these meals help a lot! At least your mind will be at ease that dinner will be easy. Good luck with your surgery! And thank you so much for watching😀
I'm glad I didnt jump the gun and ask my question before finishing the video! LOL Ive been interested in freezer meals but was always wondering how you get them out of the bag(maybe be common sense to thaw but wasnt sure how long ... but now i know...fridge the night before). Im new here and have been LOVING your videos. Ive saved some of the ones ive watched so far so i can go back when its time to make my next dinner/grocery list. I always struggle with coming up with new things so dinner isnt always the same stuff. I dread the dinner list days.....however NOW i am sooooooooooooooooo excited to give my family new things...and they seem so simple!! Only downside is my husband is leaving in a week (in the navy), so super sad he will have to wait to enjoy alot of them but at least ill get a few done before he leaves! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! you have made me excited to make dinners again. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so very much Tamara for being one of my loyal subscribers! I am so happy that so many of my meals have been so helpful to you and your family. I really do appreciate your kind words and your support! Thank you so very much again and have a wonderful rest of your week😀
Your little bump is the cutest! We both made meatball subs this week. I love the chicken queso tacos too. So yummy! I'll definitely be making some of these as I prep for baby!
Your recipes are so easy and I know by the seasonings they are delicious. I can’t physically cook much anymore but I think I can get the freezer meals would be easy for my husband. Thank you Julia
I am sorry to hear that you cannot cook quite as much as you used to be able to, Kimberlyn. I sure hope your husband enjoys making the freezer meals. I hope it can help simplify your lives! Thank you so much for watching😉🙌🏼
Thanks, Julia! We never use our slow cooker and it looks so easy and everything looks delicious. We may have to change our ways. Have a blessed week, Pacheco family! xoxo
I love your recipes. I have been trying to do less fast food for the family to save money and be healthier. Your slow cooker meals have been helping out so much! Having food already cooking takes away the temptation to order delivery meals. I've been working a lot of overtime so I prep on my day off and then during the week I can just grab a bag from the freezer to throw in the slow cooker.
You have such great ideas! Where were you when I was pregnant 21 years ago.......... I would love to live nextdoor to you because you are so friendly positive and upbeat!
Thank you for making your recipe book so affordable. We are on a one income household. We are soon to be a family of 5 and I’m soo grateful for you and your channel!
Love all of these. When my Mom passed away a very long time ago,a lady that I had known almost all my life, brought some taco soup over here. I have tried different recipes but couldn't get mine to taste as good as hers. Definitely will try this one.Thx Julia
I want to thank u so so much for your videos,I’m doing this to help feed my elder parents because without me cooking they wouldn’t have anyone. I’m gonna make these and freeze so than I can focus on cooking for my 2nd family my own. Cannot wait this will be my answer to life right now!!
I am so happy to hear that these recipes can help you, Marie! It sounds like you have a heavy load right now. And good for you taking care of your parents. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend💜💜
Wow Julia! Once again you hit it out of the ballpark 😋😋😋 I can’t wait to make these. Crockpot recipes are always my favorite. I’m going to have surgery in a couple months and I was wondering what my hubby and I could make while I’m recovering. Well now I know. Thank you and God bless!
I just found your channel a few days ago, and I've been binging all of your videos! I have a nearly 2 year old at home that eats entirely too much premade freezer food and snacks because after cleaning and caring for her all day long, I just never seem to have the energy to think up something to cook for dinner. You suggest so many meals that are so simple and affordable, yet look amazing and are things that my daughter would actually eat!! I have a new burst of motivation to get a notebook specifically for meal prepping freezer meals, and do a day or 2 throughout the month so that I can feel more confident in the meals I'm able to provide for my family! Thank you so much for giving people the opportunity to achieve things that may have previously seemed unattainable. 💖
Well, thank you so very much, Sammy! That sure does mean the world to me to hear that. Thank you so very much for the positive feedback about my meals and my videos. I sure hope you were able to find some recipes that will be helpful and that can inspire you even more. Thank you so very much for watching and thank you so very much for being one of my loyal supporters. Have a great rest of your week😉💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco i made your slow cooker chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes last night, and it's a new family favorite for sure!! So excited to try out some more! 😁💖
Congratulations on almost being to the finish line Brianna! Sure hope everything goes well with your delivery. Having these meals in the freezer should help put your mind at rest a little bit. Have a great rest of your week and thank you so much for watching😀
What an amazing crockpot video!! I rely on these a lot because I have chronic illness and cooking once per week or once every couple of weeks is much easier on me than cooking everyday. Thanks again for the recipes and inspiration!
Wow, you're pretty smart Julia. The contents are all simple, so is the assembly and the idea that this is so, so easy is the best of all! Thank you for another great video! Good wishes to you from St. Charles, Missouri.
These videos are so helpful. I have no time for cooking during my work week and can't afford take out every night. But i have a window to throw meals in the crock pot. So this is a game changer😁 thanx
That’s awesome! And that is exactly what the crockpot is for. Most of us only have a small window in the morning to get things going. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼
Julia, from your sweet smile & cheery personality to the practical and simple way you share your recipes, I know you are a gift to SO many! Bless you...
That is just awesome! I am so very glad that you found some of these meals helpful for your situation. Thank you so very much for watching and most of all for your support😀😀
I know these prep videos are aimed at busy mamas, but these are also great for us childless singletons on SNAP benefits, and don't have a lot of money otherwise, and we need to be frugal. I just took on three extra routes onto my usual bus monitor schedule, and so pre-prepping meals like this will be a lifesaver. Now I just gotta decide what I want to fix up. Not a big hoagie bun fan, so I'm just as likely to make the meatballs and sauce and toss with pasta. 😅
These recipes all sound so tasty! I love being able to have dump and go meals prepped, especially when I know we have a busy day ahead. Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful ideas! Congrats on your upcoming bundle too! 👶👣
I just ran across your video and became a new subscriber. Where have you been All of my adult life I am so appreciative of your meals. Being a single parent my budget is very low this helps me a lot. Thank You
Well thank you so very much for subscribing and I sure am happy to hear that you have enjoyed some of my recipes! I hope you find many more that you like to. Thank you so much and welcome to my TH-cam family🙌🏼😉
Thank you so much for your content! I have been binge watching your videos because they make me feel so good. Ive been through a bout of depression and lost my passion for food and cooking. Ive been getting better slowly thanks to God, my wonderful husband and tons of hard work and slowly have begun cooking again. Your videos have helped me so much! You have made homemade food on a budget not so overwhelming for me anymore! Thank you so much!
I am so very happy to hear that things are getting better for you, Linda.🙏💜 I am so happy to hear that you have such a good support system too. That is awesome! Thank you so very much for your positive feedback about my channel. That really does make my day! You keep going and I hope you enjoy these recipes💜💜
Congratulations to you and your new baby! I sure hope you have a safe and healthy delivery🙏Sure hope these recipes can help! Thank you so much for watching
Hi Julia, Anita Dunphy here. I had to change my server so I am now Oma Erin, didn't want you to think I left. These meals all look so delicious and will come in very, very handy for when your new daughter arrives. What a great thing to not have to worry about, of course you don't have to be having a baby to make them. lol Great for everyone. Thanks for sharing them. Stay well and safe.❤
Wow! Thank you so very much Martha! I sure do appreciate you sharing my videos with your clients. And most of all I’m so grateful that you enjoy my channel. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!😀😀
You are sooooo creative. I always think you cannot have a better video and u continue to out do yourself!! You are amazing and give me so much motivation!! Thank you for all your hard work with these videos!!❤️❤️
I’ve made the queso chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious, I personally thought they were even better when we used the nacho cheese hard taco shells. Yum 😋 I’ll be trying some of these other recipes as well.
I made the drumsticks yesterday! I got the recipe from another one of your videos and it was delicious! Drumsticks aren’t my favorite but they came in a package of organic chicken I ordered and I needed to find a way to use them. My family loved it! My daughter just now stood at the counter and ate the cold leftovers! 😅
I love these freezer meals.they are awesome,bc I can send them to my kids,and they have the directions on bag,easy, delicious,and I Know they aren't always eating fast food.thank you so much for these fantastic meals.hv a great day family 💐 good wishes and God's blessings to you all 😇💚💛🌈💛😊😇💚🌻🌻🌻💚🧡
I just picked up the stuff to make your Chicken & Gravy and the Italian Creamy Chicken. Your video had both of my sons drooling so they're looking forward to the next week's worth of dinner. Thanks!
A quick idea, u can also put the ingredients into crock pot liners. Tie the bags at the top and label them. When your done unline the crock and it’s still clean. Done!!
Awesome, thank you! I love easy freezer meal ideas! I like to buy 3-4 pounds each of ground beef and ground turkey, cook them up, season half with taco seasoning and some tomato sauce, divide them out into quart-size freezer bags, and freeze flat. Then I have the main ingredient for many meals already done, and it thaws quickly. When I know there’s taco meat so readily available, I’m much less likely to grab fast food.
No more excuses of , “I am too tired to cook tonight !” These are such easy flavorful meals to throw together in zip lock bags for your freezer to have on hand ! It’s so easy to plop one in to your Instant Pot for those days you forgot to thaw in fridge night before ! If you remembered to thaw one out just put in slow cooker and walk away .. 6 hrs or so later your meal is practically ready to serve! No need to go get take out on those I don’t wanna cook tonight days! Thank you sharing these easy recipes! Blessings!💕
I have to say that I've tried some of your recipes. I love to cook and always looking for new recipes to try. My compliments to the chef. Following your directions they always come out perfect.
Love this Idea! I just sent this to my daughter. I was out of Taco seasoning the other week and made my own off a recipe I found. It was delicious & even at age 45 I was proud 🤣 😂 ....hope your pregnancy is going well sweetheart.
Well that is awesome Michelle! Good for you. And I really do appreciate your concern. Things are going well with my pregnancy, I still have some sick days, but better than I was before for sure. Thank you so very much and have a wonderful weekend😀😀
Love all of these ideas and how easy it is to prep them and have them ready any time they're needed. Thank you for sharing them. I love how you also showed the finished recipe and how you dress them up and serve them. Great video as always, Julia! You are glowing, by the way!👍😊💕
If you know someone who is way pregnant send them this video!!! I did this before I went into the hospital to have my son and it was such a blessing to come home to dinners prepped! A few of the recipes even became favorites in my house! The queso tacos are to die for! This video is highly under rated in my opinion, as I refer back to it so so much!!
Thank you so very much for your positive feedback! That would be an amazing idea to do that. I know when I need to prepare a meal for someone it would be really nice to know what their family enjoys and what they do not like. That would really be helpful! Thank you so much for your positive feedback about this video and have a wonderful rest of your week💜🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco No problem I'm just being honest! We like them all but qeuso tacos we're definitely the fav! My daughter who is 12 is picky and even loves them all! She specifically requests the taco soup every time we go grocery shopping! This was my first experience with preping and it made it so easy! Thank you so much for this great info!
So excited to make these! It is such a relief to know I have something in the freezer for dinner at the end of a long day and I don’t have to stand over a stove! Thanks Julia! These are life-savers!! So excited for you and your family as time for baby gets closer! Hugs from Georgia!❤️🤩👩🏻🍼👶🏻🥘⏲🥬😋🤗🥰
Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much for finding me. That is just awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy these recipes and welcome to my TH-cam family🙌🏼🙌🏼
I just want to say, your tone of voice and energy is so soothing and lovely, I always feel so relaxed and happy when watching your videos (plus the recipes all come out delicious) thank you for your hard work!
I really enjoy the slow cooker freezer prep videos. They are both a time and money saver. Excellent recipes as well, the Queso Chicken Tacos gets a special nod. Super easy to prep and mighty tasty!
You are so ambitious! But what a great idea to make double meals, as long as you're going to all that trouble. I love those clips! They're perfect for holding any size bag. And, I'm so happy to see your baby bump!!!!!
And you can always have the recipe if you would like, Cindy! Those clips are pretty awesome aren’t they? Thank you so much for watching and for your support😀
I need a crockpot! When I move to my apartment (after I get out of this hotel I'm currently living in) I plan on meal prepping and planning so it's easy for me. I'm a single mom and easy meals are so nessecary!
First off let me just say that I am loving your baby bump!!! You are so very blessed! From watching your videos and getting to know a little bit of your personality. I can say without a doubt you are a wonderful wife, mother, friend and daughter!!! I'm so excited for y'all with your second lil one. P.S.--- The recipes are delicious too!!! Found a couple more to stock my freezer!
Oh! Thank you so very much Kimberly for those kind words. I sure do appreciate that! And we are pretty excited too! Thank you so much for watching and being such a loyal supporter💜💜
These do look delish! I’m definitely going to make these since my family and I will be on the go when spring sports start up soon! These are a huge time saver!
Thank you so much Rebecca and you are so right! I am sure my mom would’ve loved to have had these freezer meals on hand during soccer season when we were growing up. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your day😀
OMG! Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something just like this! It's just me and between work and overtime, it's so hard to try to cook a decent meal every single day. These look delicious and I will be trying them out this week!
I hear ya, dude. When you're busy but trying to change your eating habits, dump and go meals seem to be the best route, at least for now. Hell, even when/if someone comes into my life, I fully anticipate using the dump and go method for putting something healthy on the table. 😅
That’s so true! When you’re working and you’re living alone it is so hard to come up with something to cook. I used to end up just throwing something together that wasn’t super great. Thank you so much for watching and I sure do appreciate you subscribing😀😀
Just made several of these today (school starts next week, & I know there will be some days when I *won’t* want to cook 😂). I did the Queso Chicken (had to use nacho cheese b/c queso isn’t readily available in the UK), Chicken & Gravy, Italian Chicken, BBQ Drumsticks & Taco Soup. I’m looking forward to trying them 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing your wonderfully easy recipes with us!
That is just awesome! I’m so happy to hear that my recipes are helping you so much. I sure hope you enjoy them and thank you so much for sharing what recipes you’re using. I appreciate that and I hope you have a wonderful start to the school year there in the UK💜💜
OMG all of these recipes were so good! It saved me so much time. Thank you for all you do. You make my life a little easier. You are so glowing! I know you can’t wait to see your baby.
Wowzer Wowzer wowser, you are the best these are amazing and I love how you put cilantro on everything that is amazing it's so so healthy for you and your pineal gland thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead
I just found your channel a few days ago and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! I recently had bariatric surgery and I’ve been wondering if you had any high protein recipes that are favorites of yours. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate you watching my videos! Here’s 18 NEW freezer meals: th-cam.com/video/QF2VYcvvMrc/w-d-xo.html
Here’s some of the products I used in todays video: baggie racks amzn.to/3ZSFGnr

Here’s my favorite meat masher: amzn.to/3D8EUci
Again thank you for being here and supporting me 💗
Thanks for the recipies! Do you thaw these out the night before? Or straight from the freezer into the slow cooker?
I'm chronically ill and my depression has been really bad lately so getting meals together seems monumental many days. After seeing your video, I feel inspired to do a meal prep day & get all these meals prepared so I won't have to stress out about getting dinner on the table. Thank you Julia!

You could always have some friends or family over and you can all meal prep together, might help with motivation to get it done. Take care!

Agreed!!
My 91 yr. old Aunt had a big surgery and is slow recovering. I plan to make up a couple of these to take with me when I go to clean during this coming week. I plan to put the food in a slow cooker bag inside a freezer bag for ease of clean up. Great timing Julia. Thank you!
Good idea. I was wondering how to get the stuff out of the bags.
@carol using the slow cooker bag is a great idea
That’s a great idea Carol! Thank you so much for that tip and I sure hope that your aunt has a successful recovery🙏💜
Making all of these! When my husband asks what's for dinner, I'll say go look in the freezer and pick one😁
Food has to be fresh never frozen
All of these recipes look delicious! They would be great ideas for someone who is expecting a baby and they can have them in the freezer and ready to go when mom and baby get home, great idea!
Absolutely! Thank you so much Ginger for your positive comment and for watching😀
I’m 37 weeks pregnant, and have been searching for some easy freezer bag recipes for when baby arrives! All of these look great. Thank you! 💖
Oh! Congratulations on that upcoming baby of yours! Sure hope that this helps a lot🙌🏼🙌🏼

Doing this today for my twins in college. This is so perfect and they’ll be so excited to have two weeks of meals!
They sure will! Thank you so much for watching sure hope they enjoy🙌🏼
I love this idea!! I wish my kids lived closer and I could do this for them too! I will just share Julia's video with them! 🙂

I just found your channel a few days ago, and I've been binging all of your videos! I have a nearly 2 year old at home that eats entirely too much premade freezer food and snacks because after cleaning and caring for her all day long, I just never seem to have the energy to think up something to cook for dinner. You suggest so many meals that are so simple and affordable, yet look amazing and are things that my daughter would actually eat!! I have a new burst of motivation to get a notebook specifically for meal prepping freezer meals, and do a day or 2 throughout the month so that I can feel more confident in the meals I'm able to provide for my family! Thank you so much for giving people the opportunity to achieve things that may have previously seemed unattainable. 💖
Well, thank you so very much, Sammy! That sure does mean the world to me to hear that. Thank you so very much for the positive feedback about my meals and my videos. I sure hope you were able to find some recipes that will be helpful and that can inspire you even more. Thank you so very much for watching and thank you so very much for being one of my loyal supporters. Have a great rest of your week😉💜💜
@@JuliaPacheco i made your slow cooker chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes last night, and it's a new family favorite for sure!! So excited to try out some more! 😁💖
So glad you posted this, I have my baby in less than three weeks and couldn't find any freezer meals I liked to make
@@jenniferhansen3622 thank you 😊
Congratulations on almost being to the finish line Brianna! Sure hope everything goes well with your delivery. Having these meals in the freezer should help put your mind at rest a little bit. Have a great rest of your week and thank you so much for watching😀
@@JuliaPacheco thank you ! Congrats on yours as well
What an amazing crockpot video!! I rely on these a lot because I have chronic illness and cooking once per week or once every couple of weeks is much easier on me than cooking everyday. Thanks again for the recipes and inspiration!
I sure hope this can help! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment😀
I do believe these are my faves. I have a friend that will be having surgery and I'm going to whip her and me some up. I love it. Thanks a bunch! 🏆
I bet she’d really appreciate that Monica! That’s a sweet friend. Have a wonderful rest of your week and hope you enjoy the recipes😀
@@JuliaPacheco ❤️💜❤️💜 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wow, you're pretty smart Julia. The contents are all simple, so is the assembly and the idea that this is so, so easy is the best of all! Thank you for another great video! Good wishes to you from St. Charles, Missouri.
I sure do appreciate that! Thank you so very much😀
This is so smart. I have so many doctor appointments that this will help eat at a decent time each week. Thanks so much
I’m so sorry you have so many doctor appointments Patrice. So glad that these recipes can help! Thank you so much😀
These videos are so helpful. I have no time for cooking during my work week and can't afford take out every night. But i have a window to throw meals in the crock pot. So this is a game changer😁 thanx
That’s awesome! And that is exactly what the crockpot is for. Most of us only have a small window in the morning to get things going. Thank you so much for your positive comment and I hope you enjoy these recipes🙌🏼🙌🏼
Julia, from your sweet smile & cheery personality to the practical and simple way you share your recipes, I know you are a gift to SO many! Bless you...
Oh! Thank you so very much Meg! I sure do appreciate those kind words💜💜
Batch lady has been doing these for years. Great idea. Thanks for new recipes.
You are so welcome!
Bless you young woman. 🤗 I am disabled and these ideas have given me the chance to have warm hearty meals again.
That is just awesome! I am so very glad that you found some of these meals helpful for your situation. Thank you so very much for watching and most of all for your support😀😀
Wow I can’t wait to make these recipes. They look yummy!! Thank you.
I know these prep videos are aimed at busy mamas, but these are also great for us childless singletons on SNAP benefits, and don't have a lot of money otherwise, and we need to be frugal.
I just took on three extra routes onto my usual bus monitor schedule, and so pre-prepping meals like this will be a lifesaver. Now I just gotta decide what I want to fix up. Not a big hoagie bun fan, so I'm just as likely to make the meatballs and sauce and toss with pasta. 😅
That’s a wonderful idea! You can always mix them with pasta instead. I’m so glad that these recipes can help you with your super busy schedule.😀😀
These recipes all sound so tasty! I love being able to have dump and go meals prepped, especially when I know we have a busy day ahead. Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful ideas! Congrats on your upcoming bundle too! 👶👣
Thank you so much Michele! Sure appreciate your comment and we are super excited to meet our new little girl😀
I just ran across your video and became a new subscriber. Where have you been All of my adult life I am so appreciative of your meals. Being a single parent my budget is very low this helps me a lot. Thank You
Well thank you so very much for subscribing and I sure am happy to hear that you have enjoyed some of my recipes! I hope you find many more that you like to. Thank you so much and welcome to my TH-cam family🙌🏼😉
@@JuliaPacheco Your so welcome 😁
I love you showing easy stuff like this.
this is so insanely helpful.. thank you!
I’m so glad I came across this video! I’m 23 weeks pregnant and have a toddler. I plan on using these for when we return home and adjust ❤️
Thank you so much for your content! I have been binge watching your videos because they make me feel so good. Ive been through a bout of depression and lost my passion for food and cooking. Ive been getting better slowly thanks to God, my wonderful husband and tons of hard work and slowly have begun cooking again. Your videos have helped me so much! You have made homemade food on a budget not so overwhelming for me anymore! Thank you so much!
I am so very happy to hear that things are getting better for you, Linda.🙏💜 I am so happy to hear that you have such a good support system too. That is awesome! Thank you so very much for your positive feedback about my channel. That really does make my day! You keep going and I hope you enjoy these recipes💜💜
Made the queso chicken tacos. My boys loved them. We always love the "julia meal" nights. Love that the meals are easy to make .
That’s just awesome! I sure am glad you and the boys enjoyed this recipe so much, Kim🙌🏼
I was so entranced with your recipes that I didn't notice that you were expecting! Congratulations!!
Ha ha! Thank you so very much Brenda. I sure do appreciate that😀
@@JuliaPacheco I hope you will introduce your new addition.
Thank you so much for sharing! My baby will be here any day now, and I’ve been looking for meals to freeze to make my life easier! Love it!
Congratulations to you and your new baby! I sure hope you have a safe and healthy delivery🙏Sure hope these recipes can help! Thank you so much for watching
I have made several of your crock pot meals so far this winter and they have all been fantastic! Excited to try a few of these also! Thank you!
These recipes are great. I actually have most of the ingredients already. So simple and delicious. Perfect for busy days. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so very much! Sure hope you enjoy them😀
I love seeing your baby bump!!! I cannot wait for all of us to meet your newest masterpiece!!!!!!!!
Ha ha! Us too! Thank you so very much for watching😀😀
Hi Julia, Anita Dunphy here. I had to change my server so I am now Oma Erin, didn't want you to think I left. These meals all look so delicious and will come in very, very handy for when your new daughter arrives. What a great thing to not have to worry about, of course you don't have to be having a baby to make them. lol Great for everyone. Thanks for sharing them. Stay well and safe.❤
Thank you so very much Anita! You’re always so kind with your positive comments. Thanks for letting me know who you are too😀😀
I love your ideas, I recommend them to as many of my clients as possible while preparing their income tax. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Wow! Thank you so very much Martha! I sure do appreciate you sharing my videos with your clients. And most of all I’m so grateful that you enjoy my channel. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!😀😀
You are sooooo creative. I always think you cannot have a better video and u continue to out do yourself!! You are amazing and give me so much motivation!! Thank you for all your hard work with these videos!!❤️❤️
Wow! Thank you so very much for that positive feedback. I sure do appreciate your support😀
I’ve made the queso chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious, I personally thought they were even better when we used the nacho cheese hard taco shells. Yum 😋 I’ll be trying some of these other recipes as well.
That does sound good Cassandra!😀
I love your recipes. Thank you for posting them in your blog and allow us to print them out. You have great, simple recipes.
You bet! And thank you so very much for watching!😀
I made the drumsticks yesterday! I got the recipe from another one of your videos and it was delicious! Drumsticks aren’t my favorite but they came in a package of organic chicken I ordered and I needed to find a way to use them. My family loved it! My daughter just now stood at the counter and ate the cold leftovers! 😅
She sounds like a girl after my own heart. Sometimes cold leftover chicken is pretty satisfying. 😁
Are you serious? That’s so awesome that your daughter did that. I’m so glad that it turned out so well for you and thank you so much for watching!
I love these freezer meals.they are awesome,bc I can send them to my kids,and they have the directions on bag,easy, delicious,and I Know they aren't always eating fast food.thank you so much for these fantastic meals.hv a great day family 💐 good wishes and God's blessings to you all 😇💚💛🌈💛😊😇💚🌻🌻🌻💚🧡
That’s a wonderful idea Melissa! Thank you so much for watching and blessings to you as well!😀😀
Good morning,great ideas and recipes and simple love it ....have a wonderful Sunday ❤
I just picked up the stuff to make your Chicken & Gravy and the Italian Creamy Chicken. Your video had both of my sons drooling so they're looking forward to the next week's worth of dinner. Thanks!
Sure hope you enjoy it Brian!😀
A quick idea, u can also put the ingredients into crock pot liners. Tie the bags at the top and label them. When your done unline the crock and it’s still clean. Done!!
That is a wonderful suggestion! I do love the crockpot liners😀
Awesome, thank you! I love easy freezer meal ideas! I like to buy 3-4 pounds each of ground beef and ground turkey, cook them up, season half with taco seasoning and some tomato sauce, divide them out into quart-size freezer bags, and freeze flat. Then I have the main ingredient for many meals already done, and it thaws quickly. When I know there’s taco meat so readily available, I’m much less likely to grab fast food.
That’s an awesome idea Christina! Thank you so much for your tip
No more excuses of , “I am too tired to cook tonight !” These are such easy flavorful meals to throw together in zip lock bags for your freezer to have on hand ! It’s so easy to plop one in to your Instant Pot for those days you forgot to thaw in fridge night before ! If you remembered to thaw one out just put in slow cooker and walk away .. 6 hrs or so later your meal is practically ready to serve! No need to go get take out on those I don’t wanna cook tonight days! Thank you sharing these easy recipes! Blessings!💕
Well thank you so very much Becky! I sure do appreciate your awesome feedback🙌🏼
I have to say that I've tried some of your recipes. I love to cook and always looking for new recipes to try. My compliments to the chef. Following your directions they always come out perfect.
That’s just awesome! Thank you so much😀
Love this Idea! I just sent this to my daughter. I was out of Taco seasoning the other week and made my own off a recipe I found. It was delicious & even at age 45 I was proud 🤣 😂 ....hope your pregnancy is going well sweetheart.
Well that is awesome Michelle! Good for you. And I really do appreciate your concern. Things are going well with my pregnancy, I still have some sick days, but better than I was before for sure. Thank you so very much and have a wonderful weekend😀😀
Love all of these ideas and how easy it is to prep them and have them ready any time they're needed. Thank you for sharing them. I love how you also showed the finished recipe and how you dress them up and serve them. Great video as always, Julia! You are glowing, by the way!👍😊💕
Thank you so very much Michelle! You’re so kind. I appreciate your positive comments so much. Thanks so much and have a great rest your week😀
If you know someone who is way pregnant send them this video!!! I did this before I went into the hospital to have my son and it was such a blessing to come home to dinners prepped! A few of the recipes even became favorites in my house! The queso tacos are to die for! This video is highly under rated in my opinion, as I refer back to it so so much!!
Thank you so very much for your positive feedback! That would be an amazing idea to do that. I know when I need to prepare a meal for someone it would be really nice to know what their family enjoys and what they do not like. That would really be helpful! Thank you so much for your positive feedback about this video and have a wonderful rest of your week💜🙌🏼
@@JuliaPacheco No problem I'm just being honest! We like them all but qeuso tacos we're definitely the fav! My daughter who is 12 is picky and even loves them all! She specifically requests the taco soup every time we go grocery shopping! This was my first experience with preping and it made it so easy! Thank you so much for this great info!
So excited to make these! It is such a relief to know I have something in the freezer for dinner at the end of a long day and I don’t have to stand over a stove! Thanks Julia! These are life-savers!! So excited for you and your family as time for baby gets closer! Hugs from Georgia!❤️🤩👩🏻🍼👶🏻🥘⏲🥬😋🤗🥰
Thank you so much for your feedback. And that is so true, after working all day it’s nice to already have some thing ready to eat😉😀
WOW! Just WOW! You made my life so much easier! THANK YOU!
Thank you so very much! I’m so happy to hear that and I appreciate your positive comment😉🙌🏼🙌🏼
We love you recipes, Julia! And all three crockpot meals are terrific! Thanks so much! You’re the best!
Julia thank you always good to have a few meals ready ahead of time.😊
You are so welcome! And I sure do hope that these meals help, Carol🙌🏼
Oh my lady I can’ t keep up with your recipes. They are sooo good! Thanks!
Wonderful recipes ! I love crockpot meals ! Blessings
Good ideas! I just like the recipes themselves as they are quick & easy to add to the slow cooker at any time.
Julia-you are such a treasure! This is great for me. Next winter, I will be gone for 2 months so leaving these meals for my family will be perfect!
Thank you! I discovered your channel in the past hour and already my crockpot is going with chicken and gravy. Subscribed!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much for finding me. That is just awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy these recipes and welcome to my TH-cam family🙌🏼🙌🏼
I just want to say, your tone of voice and energy is so soothing and lovely, I always feel so relaxed and happy when watching your videos (plus the recipes all come out delicious) thank you for your hard work!
Thank you so very much Tori! I sure do appreciate that positive feedback💜💜
I really enjoy the slow cooker freezer prep videos. They are both a time and money saver. Excellent recipes as well, the Queso Chicken Tacos gets a special nod. Super easy to prep and mighty tasty!
Thank you so very much! I sure do appreciate that and I hope you enjoy the queso chicken tacos. Have a great day and thank you for watching🙌🏼
I see! Getting ready for the baby! Smart. Congratulations
Some great ways to use the frozen chicken that comes in the bag. Definitely going to try these
Hope you enjoy and thank you so very much, Michelle
You are so ambitious! But what a great idea to make double meals, as long as you're going to all that trouble. I love those clips! They're perfect for holding any size bag. And, I'm so happy to see your baby bump!!!!!
And you can always have the recipe if you would like, Cindy! Those clips are pretty awesome aren’t they? Thank you so much for watching and for your support😀
I need a crockpot! When I move to my apartment (after I get out of this hotel I'm currently living in) I plan on meal prepping and planning so it's easy for me. I'm a single mom and easy meals are so nessecary!
Thank you so much Chrissy. I sure hope you can get into your own place soon! 🙏💜
First off let me just say that I am loving your baby bump!!! You are so very blessed! From watching your videos and getting to know a little bit of your personality. I can say without a doubt you are a wonderful wife, mother, friend and daughter!!! I'm so excited for y'all with your second lil one.
P.S.--- The recipes are delicious too!!! Found a couple more to stock my freezer!
Oh! Thank you so very much Kimberly for those kind words. I sure do appreciate that! And we are pretty excited too! Thank you so much for watching and being such a loyal supporter💜💜
These do look delish! I’m definitely going to make these since my family and I will be on the go when spring sports start up soon! These are a huge time saver!
Thank you so much Rebecca and you are so right! I am sure my mom would’ve loved to have had these freezer meals on hand during soccer season when we were growing up. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your day😀
OMG! Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something just like this! It's just me and between work and overtime, it's so hard to try to cook a decent meal every single day. These look delicious and I will be trying them out this week!
I hear ya, dude. When you're busy but trying to change your eating habits, dump and go meals seem to be the best route, at least for now. Hell, even when/if someone comes into my life, I fully anticipate using the dump and go method for putting something healthy on the table. 😅
That’s so true! When you’re working and you’re living alone it is so hard to come up with something to cook. I used to end up just throwing something together that wasn’t super great. Thank you so much for watching and I sure do appreciate you subscribing😀😀
Julia,Oh my goodness! This is genius…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you,so much! ❤️Blessings
And thank you so much Sandy for watching!😀😀
Thank you so much!! There are some days with my Rheumatoid Arthritis, that I just don't feel like cooking, so this is a blessing. You are a trooper!
I’m so glad that these can help you Karen considering your health situation. Please take care of yourself and thank you so very much for watching!💜🙏
Your videos are always awesome. Thank you!
I love your ideas. You are a breath of fresh air in such a chaotic world.
Thank you so very much Terry😀 that sure did make my day! I appreciate your positive comment😀😀
Another tip if you don't have freezer bag clips, you can stand the baggie in an empty juice pitcher and roll the top over the sides to keep it open.
That’s a great tip, Julia! Thank you so very much💜💜
Such a great idea to separate the veggies in another qt sized bag!
Just made several of these today (school starts next week, & I know there will be some days when I *won’t* want to cook 😂). I did the Queso Chicken (had to use nacho cheese b/c queso isn’t readily available in the UK), Chicken & Gravy, Italian Chicken, BBQ Drumsticks & Taco Soup. I’m looking forward to trying them 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing your wonderfully easy recipes with us!
That is just awesome! I’m so happy to hear that my recipes are helping you so much. I sure hope you enjoy them and thank you so much for sharing what recipes you’re using. I appreciate that and I hope you have a wonderful start to the school year there in the UK💜💜
Love the chicken queso tacos. Made them for dinner tonight and they passed the "kid test". Thanks for your recipe ideas.
That’s just awesome! That’s always a win-win the kids like something🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love dump and go meals in the Crockpot. Your meal is ready when you get home!
OMG all of these recipes were so good! It saved me so much time. Thank you for all you do. You make my life a little easier.
You are so glowing! I know you can’t wait to see your baby.
Wonderful! Julia you are never short on fantastic dinner ideas!
Thank you so much Michelle😀
I just love you and how you're so well organized and you know what you're doing and you have kids to mazing
I cannot wait to try these recipes! Thank you so much for all you do to make our lives easier!
You are amazing! I love your ideas to help make meal prep easy for families! God bless you, Julia and your sweet family 🙏
Thank you so very much. I sure do appreciate that kind feedback😀
Wowzer Wowzer wowser, you are the best these are amazing and I love how you put cilantro on everything that is amazing it's so so healthy for you and your pineal gland thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead
Thank you so very much! I sure do appreciate your positive feedback! Have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend!😀😀
I just found your channel a few days ago and I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! I recently had bariatric surgery and I’ve been wondering if you had any high protein recipes that are favorites of yours. Keep up the great work!
