My family recently all came down with Covid and had to be home for two weeks.THANK GOD I had food and medicine storage because we were so stocked up and needed for nothing for two weeks!
As a young wife whose constantly trying to figure out how to feed not just my hubby but his work friends and family these videos have helped me out so so much and I just want to say thank you for making them ❤️ God Bless
I have a suggestion on the food storage inventory. I don't have one like yours but if I did I would take my laptop down and make an inventory in excel. That way you can print it out and know exactly what you have and mark off what you use. Then every month you can update it with what was uws and if anything was added.
You have definitely inspired me to organize my pantry of which I have never done very well before. Once things are in the cabinets, past 6 inches, I never have remembered what was there. I took everything out, staked like items in shelves in rows and made a list on paper with amounts in pantry and taped them on the door of my pantry/ per shelf. I don't have an open pantry walk in like you do so things really have to be cataloged to even have any idea what it past the front 6-inches. When I remove something I now change the inventory number next to the product. I'm 72 and have never done this before and I have you to thank you for that. It wasn't easy, but I did it over weeks!!

I retired in 2019 and moved away from my family. I still cook like I’m cooking for a family. Sunday afternoon I cook eight meals and freeze four. Then I prep two salads and two sides. I eat buffet style all week except Wednesday . I make fresh pasta and sauce and put leftover taco meal in the sauce . Saturday I eat all the leftovers and go do groceries I need for Sunday . I’m glad I caught this video. I like the idea of flattening the meals to take up less space and making smaller meat loaves . I usually make a huge one and freeze 1/2. Great video !!!
I love when you post freezer meals, same ones as previously shown or not. I am currently on bed rest with this pregnancy, so my husband is helping me do meal prep. Thanks for sharing!
You are amazing! I love how you just plow through it and get her done. Oh man, when you showed the all those dishes in the sink. I thought that’s the last thing I’d want to do. But you did it and then kept going with more cooking. Yes ma’am, you are amazing! Love watching all your videos. I’m looking forward to the next one. Take care! 😊
Chicken enchiladas: I cook my own chicken, I like the Hatch brand for enchilada sauce. I cook a little bit of diced onion, then warm up the sauce with the onion. I use corn tortillas, warm them on comal ( cast iron flat pan). Then dip tortilla in sauce, fill with chicken and jack cheese, and roll. Once my tray is full, I top the enchiladas with any left over sauce and a little cheese. That is it.
For your chicken bone broth/stock, don't you ever use the skin and fat? I use it along with the bones and it gives the broth incredible flavor. After straining, I just cool it overnight in fridge then scrape off the fat layer before using. You can use the fat layer for frying.
You can cook dry noodles in a fresh lasagne as well. Just use plenty of sauce. I add a little water around edges of casserole so noodles cook completely. A friend taught me this years ago. So much easier.
I've been following your channel for over a year now but I suddenly had this urge to rewatch most of your freezer meals + baking videos!! They're so comforting to watch 🥰
I have struggled with being a Mother to four boys and a husband over the years to cook them healthy consistent meals. We would be so busy, takeout was 2 or 3 times a week, Since stumbling across your channel I am on my way to being well organised. I would 100% prefer to spend a day cooking and prepping so that we're ready to go by dinner time. Sad confession to make but change is on the way. Thank you for your channel
It’s not “traditional” at all but I use cream of chicken soup and sour cream with green chiles or Rotel and Colby Jack for chicken enchiladas (grandmother’s recipe)
Absolutely love your videos, I’m from London, England your take on Shepherds pie is very different to our. Shepherds pie here is lamb mince and the only vegetables would be onions , cottage pie however has veg in, I use peas, carrots and onions. The history behind cottage pie is cool, the servants that would work for a Manor House would get the left overs vegetables wise and would mix in with beef mince, gravy and top with mash then oven cook until brown absolutely gorgeous when you swivel a fork on top of the mash to form peeks and then add fresh crushed black pepper. I MUST try your meat loaf sounds fantastic and not something people in England really have, keep the vids coming they are fantastic!! xx
This is so great! I have surgery in two weeks and this was really inspiring, a good way to spend the day before surgery...family can eat well and my anxiety can be kept busy!
I found you awhile back and subscribed but just in the last couple of days have started watching your videos - oh my goodness!! You have just made my life so much easier, your recipes are real, everyday kid-friendly foods just the way we like!! Thank you for sharing your recipes and ideas!!
My roommate and I make meat loaf ahead as well, but a bit differently, we make individual loaves about palm sized. We bake them off and then freeze them and put up in baggies and pull out 2 for a meal. It helps when we don't feel like cooking a full meal!
Kimmy you're such an inspiration! I need to be doing this on the weekends to help myself during the week when I'm busy with work and so tired when I get home. My dear late grandmother would always tell me I was "smart" if I did something industrious...so she would definitely say you were very "smart" getting all this done! Love your channel 😊
So glad to see this video! Perfect timing! I need to fill my freezer with some meals as we have been taking food to some church families who have been having different difficulties right now.
Try using your Instant Pot on the Soup setting for making stock! I do it for 90 minutes. Thanks for this video-I just added a few things to my grocery list in order to make a few freezer meals this week, and I’m excited for how easy they look!
👏🏻 awesome video. I love meal prepping. I cooked dry black beans yesterday in my crockpot all day and then packaged them in 2 cup containers for my freezer. I use them a lot in my black bean and turkey tacos. I have made your Uncle Rudy’s pizza sauce and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Think I may make some today for my freezer ❤️
I use the canned chicken from Sam's or Costco, it comes out creamy. I add cream of chicken soup and green chillies and a couple spoons of sour cream, green onions, cheddar or blend cheese. Scoop into the flour Tortillas and cover with green sauce and a bit more cheese on top, bake em up.
I don’t pre cook my lasagna noodles ever. If you are making it without freezing just prepare as you did but then add 1 cup of water around edge of pan before baking and they turn our perfect (also do not need to be oven ready).
Everybody in my family likes the 'end slices'. So I make mini loaves for each person or a little bigger for 2 people. It cooks faster than one big loaf.
I have always use corn tortillas. And I use the red sauce from las palmas. And I also add some onion to the chicken mixture. I layer it the same way as you do.
I throw my diced tomatoes in the blender before I put them in the pot. I've done the same thing, I've accidentally bought Diced, when I was trying to buy crushed 🤷♀️ Whatever works! Lol
I use the recipe on the back of the regular size can of "Hatch" green enchiladas sauce. It is so good and I always have everything I need in my pantry refrigerator. It's so easy to make.
Last week I made a couple of meals ahead for the first time and it was amazing. I didn't have to worry about making dinner because I already had meals made that I can choose from. Love your videos 🙂
Loved all of your recipe ideas! You get so much done in a day!😀 I just love your family and how they are all helping and working around the house in the background! You are truly blessed!
Totally agree with you 100% I'll take 1 day and spend hours meal prepping, it's a lot of work to do in 1 day and it can be tiring but it is sooooo worth it in the long run!!!
Oh my goodness Kimmie, you are like my TWIN! Love making “make ahead meals”, never mind it’s just my husband and I now 😂 BUT... growing up in a family of ten and having to help with the work load, I STILL find it hard to cook for two. I have a pretty good food storage as well and have a master list of both freezer and shelves and rotate foods often. You are much more organized than I with your pre-printed labels but it is something I should do being as I give away so many meals. It would definitely be quicker than hand writing out the instructions every time. TFS and keep these kinds of videos coming. Stay well!
Thank you Kimmy..great recipes...Meat loaf is my favorite..I found a Sweet amd Sour recipe in the 50thAnn. Betty Crocker book in the back had recipes from the 50s. In the meat, egg, oatmeal, black pepper I added onion soup mix..can add BP. Sauce is the secret. One large.can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup apple cider Vinegar. A little brown sugar..about 3 tablespoons..warm to melt sugar..pour a little in the meat then cover the loaf. Bake.. my family's favorite..making it now for my sons 39 birthday dinner.
I haven't cried from onions in years! don't cut off the stem , cut thru stem in half, place face down and cut verical strips with stem in tact always, then chop away! it's not hard ,end result is chopped onions just like you have . I honestly couldn't take the misery anymore and came across this from a chef!
I'm catching up on your channel, love it! Def going to try making that chicken pesto ranch in the crockpot, sounds amazing, and I've never heard of it before, so thanks!
It has been such a long time since I have seen one of your videos! I miss them so much but when you start making your own videos it’s literally almost impossible to find time to actually watch TH-cam! So excited to be sitting down to watch this one FINALLY! and who knows maybe baby will sleep long enough that I can catch up on a couple! 🤗💗
I'd freeze the browning juices from the beef (or pork) in ice cube trays & transfer them to a bag so when you need some extra flavor or liquid in a dish, it's all ready on hand. One or two cubes that contain a bit of grease adds taste and will not kill you :)
I’ve heard you can use regular lasagna noodles, but never wanted to risk wasting so much food because I’ve also heard you *have* to use the oven-ready ones, so I’m glad you mentioned that! My 3.5 year old wanted to watch with me and was trying to call your dogs through the computer 😂😍
So excited for a freezer meal video! I already have two in my rotation now. Well three with your pizza kits. We love chicken in a hurry and the pesto chicken. I try to keep a couple pizza doughs and sauce available too. Thank you Kimmy!
Goodness girl!! Thank you SO much for the motivation! Meal Planning was on my to-do list, but I’m going to call it DONE and copy yours and knock out LOTS of meals tomorrow. Have a great week!😘
For the onions- put a wet paper towel on the cutting board in the corner. Whatever is attracted to the moister in your eyes will go to the paper towel instead. Works like a charm. Also do you sell those stickers for your recipes or directions/ labels for the meals?
Oh a tip for onions if you want to try it. Put onions in the fridge a while before you want to use them, the chemicals halt making your eyes less irritating when cutting them
Your cooking videos are some of my fav! Ok, really I love them all...lol! Quick tip for onions - store them in the fridge for a number of hours before you use them...get them really cold and then when you go to slice them they won’t burn your eyes. 😊
Love your videos!!! I just found a hack for cutting onions. So to prevent the tears wet a paper towel and place it by cutting board (I placed mine in corner of board out of my way)... And I have to say it has worked for me lately!!! Hope this helps you too! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too @HeatherHarris😱. My oldest daughter is an Ambassador for Dr P-we’ve been to the original Dr P museum in Dublin TX-I’d be a rich woman if I didn’t buy so much Dr Pepper 🤪
Keep onions in the fridge! Cutting them cold helps soooooooo much and 9/10 times doesn’t make me cry at all, and if it ever does bother me, it’s very minimally! Always do that now, and wish somebody would have told me sooner lol.
I use the website household notebook for my pantry sheets to print. You only have to write in the ingredient and one slant line for how many you have and slant the other way to mark off what was used. In other words, you are making a X. The site also has other printables available. Hope this helps.
I recently downloaded a food inventory app on my phone. I just scan the bar code and I add in expiration dates. It lets me know when I have things close to expiring besides how many I have.
Cooking is not cooking unless there is at least one dog at my feet. Glad to see the struggle is real for someone else. Thanks Kimmy for the motivation. I have got to try your Shepherd's pie recipe.
I love the different names countries have for things... You call them Salisbury steaks we call them rissoles ( australia) I'm very much enjoying your videos 🙂
I make taco meat in the oven in my turkey roaster. 10-20 lbs 93/7 ground beef, 3-4 lg chopped onions, 2-3 chopped bell peppers, chopped garlic, season salt, after cooked, add Tasso seasoning and water. Put 1 lb of mixture in small ziplock bags and put in freezer. We use at least one bag per week. If you don’t want all taco meat, bag some cooked meat up for spaghetti or other meals, and then add the taco seasoning. 🥰
I use corn tortilla for enchiladas. I'm not a fan of the flour tortillas. I have been wanting to make Shepherds pie seems like every TH-camr I watch is making it lately. Have a blessed Sunday Kimmy and Fam💗
So many meals! I’d be exhausted half way through 🤣 I would love to see how the pesto ranch chicken looks when it’s ready! And do you have the recipe for it?
Lol I do the same thing when cutting onions. I love freezer meal but I have no room in my tiny freezer because I am a full time RVer. Thanks for all the delicious recipes 💚
I'm in love with your food prep freezer meal ideas!! I believe Kim from @thewads told me about you and I have been a new subscriber for a little while now. Thank you!!
Kimmie I really just want you to know that I am having a stressful day and very overwhelmed with too many projects going at once. My thought was " Let me put She's in her apron on because Kimmie always makes me feel relaxed like your in my house with me. So thank you for all you do and share your life with us.

Blessings to you and prayers for your pregnancy to go perfectly. 🌻😊🌻
I was in`the hospital for over 3 weeks and on bed rest for 3 1/2 months our baby came out perfect and I Pray yours does also.
How's your baby? Hope he/she is strong and healthy. God bless you.

Nearly lost my coffee on the "I"m just so happy to make these meals for me family" crying onion moment! LOL :)
😂
I did too! She's so, so FUNNY! I actually had to pause the video because I was laughing so loud I couldn't hear what she was saying after that. 🤣
Kimmy, you are such a wonderful homemaker. 😊 Preparing such nutritious foods for your family, and saving soo much money, too.
You can cook dry noodles in a fresh lasagne as well. Just use plenty of sauce. I add a little water around edges of casserole so noodles cook completely. A friend taught me this years ago. So much easier.

Wow! Impressive meals ready to go. The all look delicious.
In our culture, or at least in south Africa they say when u cry while cutting onions ur mum in law will love u

Kim, a tip is to not put salt In your stock before it is done. If you reduce the liquid it Can become too salty.😊 If you wait, you Can salt to taste.
Thanks!
I use the recipe on the back of the regular size can of "Hatch" green enchiladas sauce. It is so good and I always have everything I need in my pantry refrigerator. It's so easy to make.
Thanks for showing how you do your cook ahead meals they look awesome, I love it, Enjoy!
Whew I'm exhausted....but you are right it's very satisfying when it's all completed 😻

Totally agree with you 100% I'll take 1 day and spend hours meal prepping, it's a lot of work to do in 1 day and it can be tiring but it is sooooo worth it in the long run!!!
I put the onions in the freezer for 15 min. before chopping. NO TEARS!
I will try that for sure.
@@shesinherapron good! I hope it helps you.
I need to try this! I cry like a baby 😂😂
Sounds weird and looks weirder but putting a stainless steel spoon in your mouth while you cut really works too!
I take the outa shell off and chop it in half then run it under water then cut and dice it doesn't make you cry 😊
I use cream cheeses, salsa , velveeta, and shredded chicken. It's totally a family favorite! ❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting and cooking with you. Your meals always look so good! Have a great week!
Thanks for the meals video. I loved the apron you had on and I love your sense of humor. I got so hungry watching the food. Yum!
I also despise Dr. Pepper, but I like to use a splash of it in green beans while they're cooking! It's kinda amazing 🤭
If you toast the spices first in a dry pan it helps them bloom, brings out the flavor a lot more.
Extremely motivating for me today! I've been procrastinating and I'm tired of the same old meals. Thank you so much!

🤔 my mother always taught me to pour AWAY from me, so I couldn’t get splashed by boiling liquids
Keep onions in the fridge! Cutting them cold helps soooooooo much and 9/10 times doesn’t make me cry at all, and if it ever does bother me, it’s very minimally! Always do that now, and wish somebody would have told me sooner lol.
You are inspiring to me today to get to work and get some things in the freezer. Thank you Kimmie and have a relaxing Sunday!
I ❤️ watching your freezer meals Kimmy...they are awesome! Please keep them coming 😘👍🏻💕
I use the website household notebook for my pantry sheets to print. You only have to write in the ingredient and one slant line for how many you have and slant the other way to mark off what was used. In other words, you are making a X. The site also has other printables available. Hope this helps.
I recently downloaded a food inventory app on my phone. I just scan the bar code and I add in expiration dates. It lets me know when I have things close to expiring besides how many I have.
Would you share which app?
Please share the app name
I love it, thank you for all your suggestions. Me and my sister really enjoy and have taken so many of your ideas.
Cooking is not cooking unless there is at least one dog at my feet. Glad to see the struggle is real for someone else. Thanks Kimmy for the motivation. I have got to try your Shepherd's pie recipe.
Yes! Perfect timing, it's like you telepathically knew 😂
We use peas in our shepherds pie but corn is a good idea too. I will have to try that.
I love the different names countries have for things...
You call them Salisbury steaks we call them rissoles ( australia) I'm very much enjoying your videos 🙂
I make taco meat in the oven in my turkey roaster. 10-20 lbs 93/7 ground beef, 3-4 lg chopped onions, 2-3 chopped bell peppers, chopped garlic, season salt, after cooked, add Tasso seasoning and water. Put 1 lb of mixture in small ziplock bags and put in freezer. We use at least one bag per week. If you don’t want all taco meat, bag some cooked meat up for spaghetti or other meals, and then add the taco seasoning. 🥰
Just discovered your videos , and love the ones I've watched so far. Thanks for such great ideas.
How did you know, I need this video right now?! Thank you! 🥰
I use corn tortilla for enchiladas. I'm not a fan of the flour tortillas. I have been wanting to make Shepherds pie seems like every TH-camr I watch is making it lately. Have a blessed Sunday Kimmy and Fam💗
Hey Kimmie! Another great video. I’m starting to meal prep and do freezer meals. Thank you for all the motivation. ❤️
I love these freezer meals they look so yummy! It’s always great to have extra meals prepared
So many meals! I’d be exhausted half way through 🤣 I would love to see how the pesto ranch chicken looks when it’s ready! And do you have the recipe for it?
Lol I do the same thing when cutting onions. I love freezer meal but I have no room in my tiny freezer because I am a full time RVer. Thanks for all the delicious recipes 💚
I’d love to do that! That’s my husbands dream :)
I'm in love with your food prep freezer meal ideas!! I believe Kim from @thewads told me about you and I have been a new subscriber for a little while now. Thank you!!
Your videos are so inspirational and motivating. I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely love them I'm a mother of 8 and this is so great.🌼
My sister makes her broth in her Instant Pot. I need to try it. She said it is done in 2 hrs or a little less.
Was so excited to see this pop up on my notifications!! Thanks kimmy !! Love, love when you do videos like these ❤
Such great recipes. Everything looks delicious
Kimmie I really just want you to know that I am having a stressful day and very overwhelmed with too many projects going at once. My thought was " Let me put She's in her apron on because Kimmie always makes me feel relaxed like your in my house with me. So thank you for all you do and share your life with us.
Ahh! I’m so glad I can be there with you.
