This! This is what I was looking for. I work 12 hours a day, so workdays I DO NOT want to cook when I get home. Bonus since it’s just me, I can eat half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. Much healthier than takeout everyday. Thank you.
I have followed you from the beginning, I've been trying to my kids & grandkids to use these recipes. They said they didn't room in the freezer! Grandma got them a small freezer for these meals! Mom so excited, she's setting up the pantry! Last time I visited I brought my favorites, ones I thought the boys (teens) would like!! The boys love to make their bags, they can have a hot meal after school before they go to work or sports. Mom & dad work odd hrs & she loves not being awakened because someone's hungry. Grocery bill down, eating healthier instead of junk food! Still have their ramen bowls , healthy noodles, hand full of fav vegetables mix.
Thanks for the great recipes for smaller meals! A tip for leftover canned tomato paste.....put the remainder in an ice cube tray or just scoop out tablespoon-sized blobs onto parchment or foil. Freeze and then bag them so you'll have just the portions you need for the next recipe. :)
I just found your video by accident and am so glad I did. Being a widow and a Sabbath observer (i.e., do not cook on the Sabbath), I sometimes find that either I don't have the energy to cook for the Sabbath (which must be done before twilight on Friday), which means that I buy "catering", which is super expensive. You system is absolutely brilliant and I look forward to trying it. So, I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for the smaller recipes. My husband passed away several years ago and I don’t cook for myself anymore. But I think with these smaller meals, it will be easier. Plus they are healthy. Thank you thank you thank you
Im elderly living on my own now, fams grown up and gone, partner passed away.. and I think this is fantastic...i hate cooking, its like Ive been doing it for 300 + yrs lol... thats what it feels like.. but i can see me setting this up for myself.. Im going to do the membership soon thats for sure...just a bit of an edit...your membership is so fantastic.. with all the recipes and choices... well done!! Ive just come to the end of the video and there it is..i wish i had this over the 300 yrs, wouldve saved a lot of time ...😊
I've implemented intermiten fasting and keto. I eat small portions, so I get full on vegetables before I get to the meat portion. I love to cook and was looking for menu ideas. I will cook up meats, portion them per meal and vacuum seal them for freezing. Thank you for these recipes and meal plans. Reversing T2D, one low carb meal at a time.
This is a great idea that I will be using because I live on my own by myself and it is hard to cook for one person so this will work out great for me. Thank you for sharing.😅 I also have fibromyalgia and Sjogren’s and I just don’t feel good most of the time so this makes cooking for myself a little bit easier
just found you randomly on youtube...great to find recipes for two since it is just me and hubby at home - these will be great when I retire next year!
I watched this video the other day. Went shopping with your list and made the freezer meals yesterday…all of them! I made the chili tonight for dinner and my sister and I loved it! We can’t wait to try all the rest! Thank you so much for these!
Your beef ,barley stew sounds really good. Need to check and see if i have any left Tip I buy the canned tomato past and measure out by tablespoons and freeze then wrap and put in a zip b\g,I chop my celery,onions and bell Peppers. freeze in containers or zip bags. Always have it ready to measure and add to all recipes.Sure comes in handy in the winter when you want fresh and the prices go up. I do buy the minced garlic in a jar to have on hand. I have adapted a lot of recipes to 20 min skillet meals especiallu stuffed bell peppers use chopped bell peppers and uncooked rice add probably 1 cup or so extra of water put a lid on and cook till rice is done.
Perfection!!! I've been looking for something just like this, meals for 2 that is and some new recipes!!! You not only gave me new recipes but also showed me how to do my own recipes into smaller meals as well!!! You Are Amazing!!! Thank you So Much and Many Many Blessings!!!
I found your channel last night as I was looking for HEALTHY FREEZER MEALS for a weight loss challenge I am a captain for. I love your apron. I actually have made my own out of towels by cutting then sewing the sides for ties and a hole for my head then sewed the edges
Thank you dear Kelly, for the free recipes and shopping list. I will try your healthy recipes without convinience sauces, i appreciate this so much ❤. Sending hugs amd blessings from Germany ✨🙏.
I loved this! Very informative! And even tho you have several people in your family, I GREATLY appreciate the fact that you are making smaller meals. Its just the Hubs & I, and a lot of the freezer meal videos I've seen are for large families. I know we can alter the recipes ourselves but it's nice to see them already done for just one or two!
Buy caned tomato pate. Cut out both ends of the can. Push the paste out of the can by pushing against one end pushing the paste out in a roll onto a piece of plastic wrap big enough to wrap the whole roll of paste. Slice off the can lids from the ends. Gently wrap the paste roll in the plastic wrap and then place in freezer. You can take the frozen paste roll out and unwrap, slice off what you need ,rewrap and store in freezer again. No waste.
I just became a member last week, I have watched several of your classes, I hope to make healthier meals for my Husband and I, we are both trying to loose a few pounds as well.
This is my first exposure to you, but I’m very interested! My wife is handicapped and I have two young adult autistic kids so it’s all me when it comes to the household and I have a busy job. What kind of bags do you use? Those look interesting.
This is wonderful. I just happened to be surfing the web an your site popped up. Great idea. Can’t wait to do this with my friends. Have a freezer meal exchange party.
What I do with a can of tomato sauce that I don't use all of it is divide it in an ice cube tray put it in the freezer. Once frozen I popthe cubes out and put them in a freezer bag mark what's in it with the date.😊
If that is what you have, you could certainly use them! They will keep your freezer meals good even longer than zip lock bags do since it removes all the air!
Could you make the full recipe in 1 bag and then freeze the leftovers? I only have a large crockpot and I usually would freeze my leftovers (say for Chilli or Soup) in individual containers.
I always thaw mine for the crockpot especially if it's chicken since crockpots may not get hot enough to cook up the chicken from frozen before bacteria starts building up to make one sick. That's what I do anyhow.
I cringed when you cut off all the fat from the beef and the amount of meat you wasted. That’s what adds flavor. I am going to try the recipes thanks for this video.
Good thing you can't see in my kitchen. I take off probably double what she does. Anything that looks fatty or connective tissue or bloody in the chicken goes in the trash 🤢
Downloaded these recipes Saturday, or so I thought. I received a thank you and to check my email. It is now Sunday afternoon, tried again and they have not reached my email. Yes, I double checked to make sure my email was listed correctly. What should I do?
love your recipe ideas. However, can I suggest you fill ALL the chicken bags first wash your hands knife and cutting board before moving onto the next meat. Keep the recipes coming.
I have her membership. A lot of the meals will instruct you to add the liquid on the day of cooking. So you add everything in the bag to the slow cooker or pressure cooker and however much liquid is stated in the recipe (if you print the labels and stick it to your bag you have the instructions right on the bag)
I see you cut off every bit of fat off. I usually trim my meat but not to the degree you are. I’m sure it’s personal preference 😁. I saw some of those freezer bags and stands at Goodwill once. I wish now, I would have bought them. Thank you for sharing all these recipes with us! I’m glad you’re an organized person. It helps us who totally aren’t. Blessings!
I quickly messaged my mom when I saw her cut the chicken and then move on to beef. My words: “tell me you’ve never had a toddler with salmonella poisoning without saying it!” Jealous of those who can.
They are being frozen and or cooked so it doesn't matter. As long as it's cooked to the right temperature for long enough or frozen long enough it won't be a problem.
you said u didnt want to cross contaminate but u put raw chicken on the cutting board then raw beef. please tell me that u tell ur students not to do that? thats cross contaminating raw meats.
food is getting frozen then cooked, not a big deal, would be if it was going in fridge maybe. be realistic, even if it was contaminated with bacteria its not going to grow in the freezer and will die when cooked. your ancestors ate food of the ground and rotten food all the time. chill out
Her recipes omit mylar affect with this meat. So not only does she waste our time….she doesn’t respect what it takes to bring in the flavor. What a waste of that hour I will never get back.
You lost me at “tomato paste” I think tomato paste is for ignorant Italian cooks, us true Italians will never use Paste!!!! Now I question your taste buds.

I really needed to learn about freezer meals. Thanks
Great idea for smaller portion. Thank you so much !
I would like the freezer meals for two with the recipes and ingredients. Thank you so much.

24:30 3 bean chili (optional add ground meat)- 1 can kidney, 1 can pinto, 1 can black beans, diced tomatoes, garlic, seasoning
Freeze onto parchment paper the remaining tomato paste into 1 tablespoon units. When frozen, transfer to baggie or other freezer-safe container.
Where do I get these bags and bag holders??😊
Amazon
With my whole heart I thank you!! You have made such a big difference in my life
You are so welcome!

Nice of you to cook for your grandparents
Hi! Brenda P here. My first time here. From Richmond VA.
I just found your channel and would LOVE to have your recipes. I live alone, like to cook. Thank you.
This was excellent. I have not received the free shopping list or recipes yet.
I also the fact you cook for two, since we have an empty nest I find it hard to cook for just my husband and I. Than you for great ideas.
Glad I found your channel.
Hi what is the name of your storage bags and holders. Are they reusable?
Buy caned tomato pate. Cut out both ends of the can. Push the paste out of the can by pushing against one end pushing the paste out in a roll onto a piece of plastic wrap big enough to wrap the whole roll of paste. Slice off the can lids from the ends. Gently wrap the paste roll in the plastic wrap and then place in freezer. You can take the frozen paste roll out and unwrap, slice off what you need ,rewrap and store in freezer again. No waste.
Really like the bags
I just became a member last week, I have watched several of your classes, I hope to make healthier meals for my Husband and I, we are both trying to loose a few pounds as well.
Would like to see some after they are cooked
Where do you get those freezer bags and bag holders, please?
I’m a newbie❣️ Thank you🦩🥰
This is my first exposure to you, but I’m very interested! My wife is handicapped and I have two young adult autistic kids so it’s all me when it comes to the household and I have a busy job. What kind of bags do you use? Those look interesting.
So happy I found your site. Joining and looking forward to it … thanks so much!
One of your freezer meals has heavy cream ( in another video) in it , I’ve read cream curdles in crockpot, how does yours not?
I enjoyed this class. Thank you.
This is wonderful. I just happened to be surfing the web an your site popped up. Great idea. Can’t wait to do this with my friends. Have a freezer meal exchange party.
Thank You,
Just found this , thank you .

Love this idea!
I was curious about using seal a meal bags? I have at least 200 of them.
If that is what you have, you could certainly use them! They will keep your freezer meals good even longer than zip lock bags do since it removes all the air!
What brand of knives do you use? i love how smoothly they cut through everything!
Where is the link to your mom's shop? Those r perfect.
Thank you 😊 only when I go to Print Recipes etc it says it can't load the site ?
I was at work and I guess the Network there wouldnt let me print them. When I got home I saved the PDF and printed it at work, Thank you 💕🌞
What size crockpot do I use for these recipes??
This is my first time seeing you and I just subscribed
Could you make the full recipe in 1 bag and then freeze the leftovers? I only have a large crockpot and I usually would freeze my leftovers (say for Chilli or Soup) in individual containers.
For taste and texture I definitely would not recommend freezing twice!
Try one of them and see if you like it! I have never had an problems freezing my leftovers!
Is there a way to cook up these meals without a slow cooker, instapot, or crackpot?
Yes.
Do you put the frozen meal directly from freezer into crockpot or instant pot or do you thaw in fridge the night before?
I always thaw mine for the crockpot especially if it's chicken since crockpots may not get hot enough to cook up the chicken from frozen before bacteria starts building up to make one sick. That's what I do anyhow.
Once these are frozen, how should they be cooked?
The recipes usually say. I usually throw the meal the crock pot on low and go to work and when I come home, dinners ready.
Love your presentations if I know ahead sometimes do the meals with you. I am a member Kelly.

Good thing you can't see in my kitchen. I take off probably double what she does. Anything that looks fatty or connective tissue or bloody in the chicken goes in the trash 🤢
Any reason you don’t put both servings in one bag?
freeze the unused portion of opened tomato paste
Hello and thanks for your video. Question, you don’t rinse your meats from the package?

I am looking for the link for this membership
I’m new and liked your video so I subscribed.
For the Lemon Chicken with Baby Spinach, there is no liquid...how does this work in the crockpot?
She showed no finished meals because this isn’t a good plan. Don’t give her any money.
I have her membership. A lot of the meals will instruct you to add the liquid on the day of cooking. So you add everything in the bag to the slow cooker or pressure cooker and however much liquid is stated in the recipe (if you print the labels and stick it to your bag you have the instructions right on the bag)
I signed up for your pro site but my username/password isn’t working. Help!
To dry your bags, just put them upside down over your stands.
This is simply a way of getting peoples contact details…..do you sell them on???
I see you cut off every bit of fat off. I usually trim my meat but not to the degree you are. I’m sure it’s personal preference 😁. I saw some of those freezer bags and stands at Goodwill once.

Would you not find it even easier if you cooked the meals before freezing them?
Can you freeze tomato paste?
I open a can, put plastic wrap in an ice tray and portion out the tomato paste. I freeze it and put it in a ziplock bag for future use.
You may have told this on another show. This is the first show I have watched. Where did you get the reusable freezer bags?
You can find my bags here :) members.newleafwellness.biz/shop
Fat is why chuck roast is so good
Not browning the meat before adding it to the crockpot misses the depth of flavor and makes for grey meat. Don’t pay her for this plan.
Beef should be handled first then chicken as chicken can contaminate the beef not the other way around
I quickly messaged my mom when I saw her cut the chicken and then move on to beef. My words: “tell me you’ve never had a toddler with salmonella poisoning without saying it!”
Jealous of those who can.
Can you say e-coli?
They are being frozen and or cooked so it doesn't matter. As long as it's cooked to the right temperature for long enough or frozen long enough it won't be a problem.
@@TheCobsteYes…..this is absolutely true…..I wasn’t sure why this was an issue. 😎
I clean my chicken
I noticed that none of your meals have potatoes in them. Do you have recipes that you add potatoes to?
I do have some with potatoes, however freezing meals with potatoes can sometimes be tricky.
Do you just add potatoes before cooking?
you said u didnt want to cross contaminate but u put raw chicken on the cutting board then raw beef. please tell me that u tell ur students not to do that? thats cross contaminating raw meats.
food is getting frozen then cooked, not a big deal, would be if it was going in fridge maybe. be realistic, even if it was contaminated with bacteria its not going to grow in the freezer and will die when cooked. your ancestors ate food of the ground and rotten food all the time. chill out

Do you have any VEGAN recipes ?
The word is "fewer" people....not less people.
Ok the recipe may be good but too much talk, it is just too long!
Ouch!
Drove me crazy too! Stay focused! Don’t interrupt the recipe.
Could you stick to the recipe when making the meals. Distracting when you chat instead of cutting to the chase.
Shades of Six Sisters and their freezer meal recipes/club. Even the bag holders came from them. On to the next...
Think you need to work on less cross contamination and WASHING your hands once in a while.
Do you have a condensed version what about 475,000 less words
Wow,you actually came back a month later to make another rude comment,you must like her content.
Her recipes omit mylar affect with this meat. So not only does she waste our time….she doesn’t respect what it takes to bring in the flavor. What a waste of that hour I will never get back.
Well this is all great but exciting very professional but after about 45 minutes you're so cotton-picking hyper you like to drove me crazy LOL
Watched this with interest.... Omg. You used the same knife for beef, right after cutting the chicken. Sorry. Had to press stop.
Oh good grief,
What? Designated Raw meat knife?? How dare she!
I also noticed this and on the keto video too. Chopping and handling different proteins without a wash between.
It's not going to hurt anything. The food will be COOKED!
OMG People. Look over it and just don’t do it if you don’t agree. Haven’t you heard of adjustments? (Rehtorical Question)
too chatty just get on with it
You lost me at “tomato paste” I think tomato paste is for ignorant Italian cooks, us true Italians will never use Paste!!!! Now I question your taste buds.
So what do you use instead of tomato paste?
