  • Freezer meals are one of my favorite ways to avoid overspending on our tight grocery and food budget. I can plan everything out ahead of time and prep all of these in a few hours. Once they’re done, I have several fast, easy, and nutritious meals to choose from and I won’t be tempted to go out instead.
    For the full grocery list and recipes, head on over to my blog:

    Bacon and Cheddar Egg Bake
    Roasted Pepper and Onion Egg Bake
    Black Bean Fajita Enchiladas
    Lazy Lasagna
    Slow Cooker Lentil Soup
    Sausage Cheddar Biscuit Puffs
    3 Bean Chili
    Things to prep before assembling/cooking:
    1 lb Cheddar Cheese, shredded
    ½ lb Mozzarella, shredded
    1 cup Rice, cooked

    Southwest casserole is definitely going to be making it on to my freezer food list. I started making freezer meals maybe 2 years ago. It saves so much time and finances especially since I love to eat out for convenience. I'm glad I found your channel you're giving me ideas😊

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yay! I hope you love it! I agree that it saves so much time and money to freeze some meals. I love being able to just grab something and put it in the oven 😃
      I’m so glad to hear that and I’m glad you’re here too! I hope you love all the recipes ☺️

    If waxed paper goes on food, rather than over pan, it protects the surface (just remember to remove when cooking.)

    You always have great ideas and tips. I love doing freezer meals and actually do more in the summer than the winter. It gets so hot here in the San Joaquin Valley that anything I can prep ahead of time makes a big difference. I love your channel and I hope it keeps growing 😊

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much!! ☺️ That’s so nice of you to say!
      I love to meal prep in the summer too. Especially things like overnight oats and easy meals that don’t need to be reheated in the oven. It gets SO hot here too!

    Finally gave these blueberry muffins a try, added some protein powder and a little yogurt and my husband loves them! Did mine with frozen blueberries and they turned out great!

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love doing freezer & fridge prep. I place 2 meals in fridge & the rest in freezer. I try to freeze any produce that I can get on sell, of course ones I know I’m not going to use right away. But it’s a saver for sure. I love your channel, you give me a lot of ideas on what to do when stubbed. Thank you so much.

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just love that! That’s such a good idea. I need to do a better job at making double of things that I’m already cooking so I have lots of extras in the freezer. I also love to freeze produce anytime I find a great deal! Such a huge money saver and helps me keep a variety of things on hand.
      And thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️

      Also, wondering if you can share any instruction/recipe/how much cottage cheese you add to your pancake batter. I was looking at doing this a couple of weeks ago when we had more cottage cheese than we could use. Thank you💗

    • @LauraLegge
      @LauraLegge  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much! ☺️ For the cottage cheese, I usually add it on top of a cooked waffle along with sliced almonds, fresh blueberries, and maple syrup or honey 😋 You can freeze the cottage cheese too, if needed!
      I’ll test out a few recipes for cottage cheese pancakes and let you know how it goes! I’m thinking I’ll use it in place of most of the liquid. I’m sure it’ll work beautifully!

    • @nadinefrandsen6087
      @nadinefrandsen6087 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Shoot! I didn’t realize I could have frozen it. Thanks for the info. I have heard cottage cheese is good mixed in the batter, though.

    I just love your videos! I click on a lot of different ones but yours is one of the few I can really relate to. You make recipes that we really like and you have a realistic budget. Surprisingly your Aldi prices are about the same as ours in Ohio so I have a good idea of what everything is going to cost.
    And I love that you love Disney lol.

      And we LOVE all things Disney. We just let our magic key pass expire for Disneyland because we’re hoping to be able go on new adventures this year (finances permitting haha) ☺️

    I make a baked oatmeal that has a different ratio of ingredients than yours. For that size dish I would use 6 cups oatmeal, 2 cups milk, 3 eggs, I cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana, 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder and sugar to taste (for me about a 1/2 cup). You can add whatever fruit you like, but I mix it all in bowl before putting it in the pan and then bake until it is firm.Mine turns out more of a cake texture and you really can't tell there is eggs in it.

    I heard you aak about Rao sauce. I mean, we love that sauce. It's one of the only ones I will buy. Costco often. Has it on sale for less than $5 for a large jar. most jarred sauces are just reconstituted tomato paste. This one is real imported tomatoes

      I see! I’ll have to head to Costco and see if I can try it for less too. I’ve heard so much about it but I could never justify the price 😅 if I can get it for less, I’ll definitely pick it up. Thank you for letting me know!
