Oh the irony. I just finished up my own "marathon" of lunches and dinners for one for a month. I sat down to relax and saw your video. Now I think I am going to make more of them.
Would love to hear what you made.
@@thomasapayne1 Here are the basics but it is long and I may have to split it to multiple replies. I live alone and generally follow a keto diet. I take recipes that serve 4 to 6 and then package them in pint size freezer bags as individual servings. I usually use an air fryer, a mini crockpot or my mini instant pot to cook the food. This time I made Dill Pickle Chicken, Lemonade Chicken, Dill Salmon (Freezer Meals 101), Tuna Patties, and Tuna Broccoli Alfredo that way. I also made a crock pot full of Keto Chili and one of Creamy Taco Soup; these got divided up into serving sizes and then frozen. I made cauliflower rice packs with keto sauces and added the extra proteins (chicken, tuna, ground beef) to round out those as meals.
@@thomasapayne1 I made chili dog packs by putting a single sausage in a snack size bag and then putting that in a pint size freezer bag with a bun and stapled a serving of chili with it. The snack bag keeps the bun from getting soggy as it thaws in the fridge at work. I made Tuna Salad and Chicken Salad using humus and sour cream instead of mayo so I could freeze it. Some of these are for lunches and I also use leftovers for that. For breakfasts I put a mixture of eggs, peppers, onions and sausage in serving size freezer bags. I can pull these out and fry or microwave depending if I am at home or work. I made berry and yogurt parfaits also. I buy keto-friendly bread and freeze it in serving sizes because there is no way I could go through a whole loaf before it goes bad. I can toast the bread and add cream cheese or avocado on top for a quick breakfast; both of those toppings freeze well too.
I just found you two recently and really enjoy your videos. I am a 76 yr old widower and have made a pot of chili and ate on it for a week. Your recipes on freezer meals have helped me. Thank you.
I'm so pleased to hear that! My dad often made beef stew and froze individual portions to eat. I hope we can encourage you to make a few other items so you can have some variety, but you're doing great! Thanks so much for watching.
I love this idea and have been doing it on a limited basis since my husband passed 15 months ago. I still make a full meal but then place individual servings in freezer containers. It works out well because I can give half the meals to my Dad who can reheat like a pro but isn't much of a cook. Dad has a sweet tooth so I also make frozen cookie dough balls for him to bake for a little dessert.
I'm sure your Dad appreciates the meals you make for him. I love the cookie dough idea!
(I'm sorry to hear that you lost your husband)
Great job. I love that you also shared with your father. Once I cooked enough meals for a month of lunch and dinners. I'm still excited about it and will be doing it again. It's such a good plan because you can eat good even if you're too busy or just not up to cooking at the moment. Keep up the good work.
EXACTLY THAT IS WHY I STARTED TO DO THE FREEZER MEALS ( my old favorites). NO WASTE, CUTS DOWN ON CLEANUP, AND VERY IMPORTANT NO PRESERVATIVES. I HAVE MY SHOPPING LIST FOR ONE MONTH OF BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNERS FOR $200. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CONCEPT. SHARING WITH MY SINGLE FRIENDS
WOW! I would like a lot more of these meals varieties using these containers. I am cooking for 2 and myself. One is my brother who has had a stroke/triple by-pass surgeries and cannot cook his own meals because he cannot use a stove or oven, only a microwave to reheat. Thank you so much for telling me about freezer burn. I was NOT covering my prepared meals with plastic. I am going to do that today with the ones I've made that I've have already placed in the freezer.
There will be more meals for one or two in the future and you'll see these containers again! Glad we could help with the ideas!
I will copy these. Believe in doing this living alone. I love to try new things and make a lot and freeze it.
The leftover enchilada filling - add it to rice for a Spanish rice side, or add rice & a cooked protein for a main, or add rice, a cooked protein &/or heat up some Mexican chorizo (not the Spanish sausage chorizo, u want the tube of soft Mexican chorizo) add the filling mix, let cool & using refried beans on a large flour tortilla, add this new filling with a bit of cheese & make oven baked burritos. Freeze individually or in groups of 2 or four. Great in a microwave, or put 4 in an 8x8, cover with salsa, cheese & bake until hot. Serve with dice fresh tomato & onion, sour cream & avocado or guacamole. Maybe a bit of shredded lettuce… yum
I always enjoy your videos, but I absolutely loved this one. With there just being two of us, and with him being in the hospital more often this is perfect for me. I also have a new neighbor that this will be helpful for. Thank you so much for all you do
This comment was a few weeks ago but we've chatted about you and wondered how everything went. We're glad you have the meals to fall back on! Be well!
OMG you guys are a hoot! What great cooks, neighbors, friends, and moms you are. Thank you!
🦉Thanks for watching!
I'm a single person who lives in a share house. I have a very small space in the freezer and fridge. But I only get paid once a month. I have IBS and reflux so I should avoid wheat, dairy, potato, pork, corn, soy, coconut and a few other things for optimal health. So when it comes to starch I'm limited to rice and sweet potato. And I have a bunch of other health problems so I struggle to stand for a long time, and I struggle with motivation. one of your regular meal prep day videos came on to my feed and it has changed my view point. I went out that day and bought 1kg of chicken breast, 1kg of carrots, 3 capsicums, an onion and 2 cans of marinade satay and Malaysian curry. I already had 1-2 cups of cooked rice. so I chopped up all the ingredients and divided them into five. one went into a frying pan with 2 scrambled eggs and the rice and became stir fry and four went into freezer bags. I have a 1.5L slow cooker and I made sure it would fit in it. and divided the sauces into two. I'm defrosting my first bag now. and I could cook it in a slow cooker or in a frying pan. depending on my energy levels. And then put on some rice in the rice cooker and I think I should get 3-4 meals per bag. I'm excited to see where I take it next month.
Reading this really made my day. It’s exactly people like you that we are hoping to help when we do our videos on single serving meals. I can’t wait to hear how it goes and what you come up with for next time!
Looked like some good tasting food, love watching you two.
Thank you Yvonne!
This is how I do life and especially freezer meals! This was fantastic and I have so much to unpack. A couple of things - I don't think you need worry about freezer burn in this case because the meals won't be around long enough. I think he is going to have to fight off the roomies! When I do meals with mashed potatoes and gravy is appropriate I just put a pat of butter on top of them and a hefty spoon of gravy and freeze away - just like Swanson did. Sending mashed potatoes on their own is great because he can heat some butter in a skillet and throw them in, heating and crisping at the same time. Great with a couple of eggs for breaky. (and Christie you are right, there is no such thing as too many mashed taters). Sharla you need to develop a chocolate nacho recipe - I am there for it; Christie thaw your sorbet and add ginger ale, it will make a very refreshing mocktail and finally, "Man your battle stations, a pea has breached the rice perimeter!"
Teenage boys are known for their ability to eat a lot of food.😅😅😅😅😅😅. I'm single and live alone. I really appreciate the freezer meals for one or two you have on here. I'm getting ready to start chemotherapy next week. One of the recommendations my doctor has made is eating five or six small meals a day instead of the three regular meals. I plan to use a lot freezer meals for this, along with sandwiches and stuff I have here that I just have to add water to and microwave for those meals. Most of my freezer meals I cook before I freeze them. Than all I have to do is put them in the microwave or heat them up on the top of stove depending on what they are. This helped a lot when I had surgery a couple months ago and didn't feel like cooking anything for a couple weeks after it.
Definitely teach your kids to cook. My oldest son met and was in a relationship with a girl who was NOT taught to cook. Not even the basics. She would burn Kraft mac and cheese. He was able to provide yummy, healthy meals while she learned to cook herself. My youngest son is also quite a good cook, and is able to take care of dinner on evenings where I work and dinner would just take too long to fix during a break. My dad is one who loves tv dinners, so I'm going to take these ideas and he'll have homemade freezer meals to reheat. I am also going to put some together and give them to my mom. Big Mother's day gift because she too in single now, and won't cook because it's too hard to cook for one. Thank you for the great ideas.
You guys crack me up! It feels like a friend in the kitchen. (I had to look up vindaloo, too.) This is perfect for me. Single, elderly, and I don't like leftovers, so I often don't make some of my favorite recipes.
We're so glad you joined us in the kitchen. I hope you're able to make some new meals for yourself or portion out your favorites so you're not "stuck" with days of leftovers.
I made meatloaf muffins in metal cupcake cups, put a big swirl of mashed potatoes on top and decorated with little green peas and little diced carrots. They looked like party cupcakes. Great fun for kids!
So fun!!!
Great ideas. I do this a little bit for my husband. He is disabled so I like to have meals ready for him to just heat and eat when I'm at work or just don't feel like cooking. I also customize some for me for work as well. We eat differently, he is a carbaholic and I try to eat ketovore or carnivore. Need to step up my game and do more of this. Hmmm....... need a trip to Wholesale Club for a bunch more containers in smaller sizes.
Y'all helping my MDD with this tysm
This journal is sooo sweet..I did that for my girls when they were apart from each other andfrom me..
The story about the cats... "I know she can play better than that!" 😂
I really like the idea of making your own TV Dinners. And Amazon sells Freezer Containers in every size and with divided sections. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, it doesn't have to be 1-2 people in the Family. You might have different dietary needs. Or your kids are working now. And or you may have picky eaters. OR maybe there is something YOU love to eat, but you never make it because you are the only one who likes it! Now you can customize any meal. Hot Enchilada Sauce for the Adults and Mild for the Kids. YOUR taste buds matter too! If nothing else at least if you are making home cooked meals, you are eating healthier! No extra added chemicals or fillers. Great idea to play around with! TY Ladies!☮
You are so right! I hadn't thought of the TV dinners for families, but they would be a great solution even in our own home to some of our picky eating challenges or even to address allergies.
I love to do this with you all!!!❤ thank you for being so jolly together!! I have said this before.... you are beautiful souls working together!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Mashed potatoes are a meal in their own! Mashed potato bowl~ add a veggie, any meat, just butter, gravy... I love mashed potatoes. I will be making a few 2 person meal bags of mashed potatoes as that is a staple for us. Comfort food. I love your videos. I LOVE the journal idea! What a wonderful way to connect! We all need to write more. Even with the phone, writing is important. Write your recipes down, don't just type them. I want to hear about the cats! We have 4 inside cats and 2 outside cats, so far. OMG! I love that cat! So cute. I need a piano.
I Loved watching you two! Great chemistry in the kitchen and such good freezer meals. You definitely gave me some inspiration. I'm going to make the meatloafs and the enchiladas 🥰💞👍🏻
We love to hear that you're inspired! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing. Gave me a lot of different choices.
we are enjoying all of the meals. I am finding that I love to cook and prepare. I have turned others onto this. I love it that much
Loved this! This is perfect for our small family of two.
Love watching the two of you. I’ve been doing freezer meals for a while for my family and others. On the meals for one I’d suggest you add a pat of butter or ghee on top of the frozen vegetables because they aren’t seasoned. Love using muffin tins for mini quiches, meatloaves, etc..
Love your videos! I have trouble planning my meals. We have three picky eaters and I am DEFINITELY not a good planner. But you are an inspiration and I have ALREADY begun to plan better! I will figure this out!
You've got this! We are here cheering you on.
That cat was so funny ! She did a great job playing the piano and seemed to enjoy playing! Lol !
CHEESE ! I could not live without cheese it can go into almost all savory dishes so as much as I love chocolate cheese would win if I had to choose between them ! Y’all crack me up and I love your food choices that you have on your channel so much that I joined your club a good while ago ! I encourage everyone to join your club because you get so many delicious recipes that you can make yourself and some of them you only get if you are in the club and these ladies work hard on this channel so I look at it as they deserve to receive payment for all the work they do to bring us delicious food to make and they are so fun to watch and because they are such sweet people ! I just wish they were my neighbors! This was a great video with so many choices of yummy recipes to make ! Have a great day ,Blessings!💕
@christie! I resemble all those comments! empty nester, cooking for 2, "getting older", sick of take out.... LOVE! however, every meal I have made so far for 4, my husband eats 2 portions, I eat 1 and he gets leftovers for lunch!! win win
Love that!
I do my freezer meals on Sundays so this is sooo going to help BUT I have a bag of pre-made meatballs so when I heard meatball as I was listening I was like O SCORE!
Yay! Perfect timing!
@@FreezerMeals101 you ladies do that on a regular basis..thank you!
This is a great video to do. We will be empty nesters soon and to have meals for two or one ready to go is exciting.
Freezer meals have been an AWESOME way for empty nesters to keep the meals exciting. Many have trouble making the transition from cooking for an army to cooking for one or two. This is a nice way to do it and keep the variety up. Good luck!!
I wanted to be fair to you both after my comment on your other video for single meals where you only talked about elderly, non-cooking, assisted living, etc. as though every other adult under 50 is a parent with a big family. At that time, I had not yet seen THIS video where you acknowledge just regular singles of all types and situations. I appreciate it and admit when I'm wrong. ❤
Yep. Individual meals can be for everyone! I'm glad you got to see this one! :D Thanks for the comment.
When living in dorms they also have to manoeuvre round several people using the same kitchen (often not clean and tidy and dirty dishes everywhere) so prepared meals can be a life saver! However, freezer space in dorms is often very limited. My daughter got only one freezer drawer so she had to just take a few meals at a time, so be mindful if sending all the freezer food at the same time. Preparing this for home use, especially for a single person or couple can save so much headache, time, and cleaning and you get to eat a healthy variety of food. It's far too easy to get into a rut jus tffor convenience sake and lack of inspiration. if cooking a meal its always worth cooking extra portions and sticking them in the freezer!
That is a great point about dorm room freezers! Luckily Sharla's son is in a space where there was a full sized chest freezer and it was mostly empty! He only took a few on his first trip up, so he can take more next time. And yes, individual meals can be a total lifesaver when living alone. It definitely helps keep you out of a rut.
Super funny I was just looking on Amazon the other day and found a really tiny throwaway containers that can be meals for one or two because I think they hold up to 1 pound. Super excited plan to get them in early August! Not only for myself, but also for my children that way we could have individualized portioned meals and if it’s 16 ounces, I can go in well that can be split between one person two people or maybe even three depending on how meaty the meal is And I also just got brand new Pyrex dishes on Amazon. I ordered a ton of those because I am not a fan of Ziploc bags except for things like maybe when I make homemade breakfast burritos and I wrap them first and then put them into the Ziploc bags or if I’m doing something like homemade black bean burgers or turkey burgers, but for a little mini meatloaves and or casseroles and things of that nature, I am super excited that I just found yesterday the little tiny throwaway portion, tens on Amazon. They will totally be a staple in my meal prep moving forward we’re not a single family of one or two, but meal prepping is so much easier and so much more variety. 9:46
Fallon, your pork roast looks delicious. Manley is something else “ dirty bananas”.❤
My mom has been having some health issues, when i go to collect my kids(really teenagers, they went to help grandma over the summer) later this month, I may have to spend an extra day and make her and my step dad some meals up like this.
Egg roll in a bowl- after defrost scoop it up into spring roll rappers n deep fry.
Also pour over low mein or ramen !!
Yum!
I’ll take chocolate over cheese any day 😂 love you ladies. thank you for all the inspiration
I love watching your videos! Will be making things this summer. But question… do use an air fryer or do instant pot? I do rice and mashed potatoes in my ips. Game changers! And I made your meatloaf muffins and husband loved them! So delicious
We are instant-pot adverse. Both of us. lol I (christie) now have an airfryer and am continually trying new things in it but we are both so old-school, it's hard to give up the slow cooker and our regular oven. We'll get there. Be patient. haha
LOVE YOUR OUTFIT
I do want to voice one concern regarding throwing a hunk of frozen meat in a crock pot. Slow cookers don’t reliably get frozen meat up to a safe temperature (above 140°F) evenly enough or quickly enough. It will likely spend too much time hovering in the danger zone (from 40°F - 140°F), which opens the door for bacterial growth leading to food poisoning. A better recommendation would be to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator first. Many of haven't eaten "risky" food without problems but why take the risk.
It’s 1am and I’m laughing hysterically. My dog looks at me as tho I’m certifiable. You gals are much more than merely ‘mildly interesting’ (however low my standards may be)
I had the same kitchen designer…who puts pulls in the center of the cabinet!
Right??!
I started doing freezer meals because I'm on a diet. So I make big meals and put them in the same containers it is so much easier to eat healthy and not buy out and not cheating on my diet. Coming home at 5:00 pm I don't like having to rush to make food.
I love your kitty story and ice cream story 😻😂
Hi Ladies
As I live in Australia, we don't have Dr Pepper unless we import it. I was just wondering if you could suggest an alternative for your Dr Pepper Pulled Pork?
Thanks so much, I love what you do and how much you help us feed our families 😊
Root beer, or coke, or cherry coke would work also.
Typically how many servings are in your freezer meals? Great recipes & videos! THX!! 💕
Our big meals serve 4-6 people, so our smaller portioned meals usually serve 2-3 unless you really want to take it down to meals for one like we did here.
In our house, our fav way to make meatballs is what we call Asian meatballs. We make a ketchup glaze like you would for meatloaf but instead of brown sugar, I add hoisin sauce to the ketchup. You could really use any sweetener and then add ginger and other Asian flavors you like. Glaze the meatball and allow the glaze to become caramelized in the oven. When ready to serve, drizzle with some form of yum yum sauce. We just mix mayo with sriracha. Sometimes we also top with sesame seeds and scallions. These are delicious and they were a big hit at a party we had.
Oh my goodness those sound so amazing! I want that right now! lol
Thanks for all the ideas in this video! Are those black plastic containers microwavable? Do you have a link for them? Tips for re-heating?
The plastic containers are awesome because they are freezer safe, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe. You can find them in our Amazon shop here: www.amazon.com/shop/freezermeals101
@@FreezerMeals101 thanks! I will check them out. How do you suggest to reheat the frozen meals in this video in the microwave?
The left over enchilada sauce - add it to some beef broth- voila - enchilada soup- add avocado n chips on the side after heating up soup.
Very nice. You're so good at this!
HI! I was curious, what size containers did you use? Thank you!
We use these ones: www.amazon.com/dp/B08MPRB9YY?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzthechaan-20&creativeASIN=B08MPRB9YY&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.WW6HCZABBMZI&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
They are 24 oz. & 7.3”x4.9”x1.77”.
Christy and Charlotte I have a great recipe for you guys to try online they're called turkey burgers you grind up peppers onions and carrots cook them in olive oil let them cool add them to ground turkey with two eggs and a cup of oatmeal and garlic powder and onion powder and 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce coconut oil they are delicious hope you try them let me know what you think❤
Thanks for sharing that. Maybe we'll try it out! ❤️
@@FreezerMeals101 cook in oil not coconut oil... sorry
but it says to spread... who wrote the recipe? Oh, the look on Sharla's face!!!! So funny ladies. Also, I now feel challenged to make chocolate nachos. It can be done. I'm sure of it. I'll get back to you.
😂 When you figure out the chocolate nachos, let us know because we are down for that!
Hi, for your meatloaf muffin, mashed potato, vegetable freezer to microwave meal, is it okay to heat in the microwave from frozen or do they have to be thawed first?
What I do to heat from frozen is put it on the defrost setting for a few minutes and then cook it on the regular setting.
What about using tortillas and cut into nachos then sprinkle w/cinnamon and dip in chocolate to make chocolate doritos?
I knew someone would be able to come up with chocolate nachos. Thanks for this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had the same thought as I watched this video 😊
@@wendystumpf1274 you're welcome from a chocolate fiend
I hope he’ll have enough freezer space to put them all, let him add butter when reheating them.
@@jenniferduncan4490 I was wondering that also I'd to think they were given dimensions to plan and prepare . But keep thinking back to college
Hi, sorry, i have one more question. I did not see what you did with the cooked pulled pork. I think it was put into freezer bags. If the pulled pork is cooked and then frozen, what are the reheating instructions? I see the recipe online but it is just for prepping, non cooked and going straight to freezer and then the instructions for cooking it from raw.
Just throw it in the microwave until it's hot. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a skillet on the stove. I like to add a bit of water, like a couple of tablespoons and then heat it over medium heat with the lid on.
Not me in the kitchen needinf something in the backround...as i make a triple batch of chili, and 3 pounds of meatballs... 😅
Good luck! How was the getaway?
It was so nice... but I also couldn't sleep because it was to "quiet" turns out I need the noise from 3 kids, a husband, and 2 dogs to sleep! 😂
I thought your cat was about to play Für Elise😮
😂
Where in Canada are you Sharla? I ask, because I am on Vancouver Island and see the Western Foods products.
We're in Alberta. My husband and I actually used to live on Vancouver Island and one of our sons was born in Victoria so we visit there most years. Such a beautiful place!
When i freeze mashed potatoes they end up being watery when i defrost them?
Usually it just means that it needs a bit more time warming up. Stirring gently also helps.
@@FreezerMeals101 ty
Thanks so much for the ideas for those of us who are now “empty nesters”! So helpful.
On a side note I appreciate that you pronounce turmeric properly! So many cooks and most chefs skip the first “r” and call it “toomeric” so I went to 3 pronunciation websites to make sure I was pronouncing it properly. It may seem silly but when teaching we should know our subjects and I am a teacher.😊
Ha! I used to stumble on it too and I was never sure, so I just go ahead an say it the way it's written. If I said it wrong, someone would be sure to let me know in the comments! That being said, I have been completely schooled on how to say Worcestershire sauce!
❓❓What exactly is your minced meat made of and seasoned with?
Sorry - just the clarify, do you mean the ground beef? It's just browned with salt and pepper. All of the minced meat in this video is beef except for eggroll in a bowl, which has minced Italian sausage in it. It comes pre-seasoned with either mild or spicy seasonings in it. I hope that helps.
48 meals is crazy! That’s 24 days of premade lunch and dinner. That could last your son basically an entire month, with 6 days where he might have to go out with friends or try his best to cook 😂 Or, of course, 48 dinners.
He's a lucky kid! The good news is he's the type to really enjoy a variety of foods and doesn't mind the spice. He has gone through these and a half a new batch already but he definitely appreciates it!
@@FreezerMeals101 He is so lucky! Love your channel. You’ve inspired me to start doubling my dinners to freeze. I’ve already tried your Swedish meatballs and tater tot casserole from the club and both were amazing.
@@catgrrrlart I'm so glad you're liking the recipes you've tried. It sounds like you're off to a great start!
Oh no! When you portioned out the microwave boxes, we couldn't see the finished article! We never even saw the cooked dish before you "plated" up...
wow an i thoughtbi was the only person that forget to eat, until the end of the day then i eat good
wish I could cook like this.but I'm caregiver for elderly mom she on 1500mg of sodium.if you have any ideas please share.
The best way to cut the sodium is to make your own broths and soups if adding it into a recipe. They are a bit sodium culprit. Jars of sauce make it hard to cook with. Nobody wants to make their own soy sauce! Sodium is a tough one. You really have to just do everything from scratch. 😕 good luck!
I'm really late on this video. Did he have enough freezer space for all his meals?
Yes! When he arrived, there was a chest freezer that was essentially empty! I was able to bring even more meals to him the following month.
@FreezerMeals101 that's wonderful. You ladies did an amazing job, like always. 💜
Just made my lunch meal prep today for work. Sloppy Joes and taco meat. I took half of the taco meat and made a taco rice dish. Perfect lunches, if I do not take food I can chose from candy or chips at work!
Did he have room for all these meals? Did he have his own freezer or did he share a freezer with others?
It turns out there was a deep freeze there that had nothing in it so he hit the jackpot! I was able to take him even more meals the following month once we knew that space wouldn’t be an issue in the slightest.
You guys seen Red Dwarf? 😆😆😆
This is a wonderful idea, but I really doubt the 20-year-old will be granted that much freezer space when living in a dorm situation. I like seeing the meals emerge.
There is actually a deep freeze and the freezer above the fridge shared among four people. When we made the meals, we weren’t sure how much space there would be but it turns it out that there’s more than enough room.
She knows how to play better than that. 😂😂😂
🤣
so you don't have to cook the peas????
Nope, if you use frozen peas, they'll just cook up when you reheat the dish!
Why not just add more Kalamata olives?
You totally could!
I wish I could afford to do this. I am disabled and on a fixed income. Medicine takes most of my monthly money.
That is very sad to hear. We often recommend just doubling your dinner to start out. It's less of a hit for groceries. Make one dinner and then the second dinner can be divided into smaller bags or dishes for individual meals. Over time, hopefully you could save enough to do bigger sessions. Just do what you can! ❤️
In the Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork recipe, could you please make a small correction. You refer to peppers in an “adobe” sauce. It should be an “adobo” sauce. It is consistent throughout the recipe. Thanks. I live in the heart of TexMex food country, so I guess that’s why I noticed it. I am really enjoying your web site. Several of your recipes are now safely tucked away in my recipe program. I have a lady that helps me, and she is living with her brothers. I occasionally cook up a crockpot type meal and send it home with her. She works long hours. This next week I’ll be doing this recipe for her and her brothers. I’m trying to teach her the basics of “crockpoting” and how it will save her time. I know this will be a hit with she and her brothers. Simple, yet delicious.
You are absolutely correct! We will say it properly from now on. Thanks for pointing that out. That is sweet of you to make meals for your friend! That is one of my favourite parts of having meals on hand.
Healthy ? na
