A few years ago my husband and I were living off of about $20 a month for food with 2 kids. Sometimes 4 if my stepkids were over. My go to cheap meal to make was a BUNCH of rice, mixed with some diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans and usually some canned chicken. I made a huge pot of it and we would eat it on tortillas and I'd wrap them and bake them with cheese on top. I'd make little burrito or taco bowls, I'd sometimes use macaroni instead of rice. Basically whatever WIC gave us is what we used plus $20. I had to get SO creative. Thankfully our budget now is about $400 a month for our family of 7. I do utilize food giveaways and pantries as often as possible if needed. There is never any shame in that!!! If anyone reads this, know that THAT is who and what they are there for! ❣️ Thank you Jordan for helping families know they can still eat good for cheap!
Monday I made baked chicken thighs and broccoli with a side of rice. Wednesday I put the chicken and broccoli in the air Fryer to crisp with more seasoning. Shredded the chicken thighs in my blender. Put it all in pasta with Alfredo sauce. Added some garlic bread on the side. I was super proud of myself for reusing leftovers!
I try to be creative but your videos help a ton! Just a tip from someone who has worked in the restaurant business for years. When storing meat and other items, you want the meat on the bottom shelf and everything on top. That’s so if anything happens to the freezer and if the meat starts to thaw, the juices don’t drip onto the other foods that can be saved. It’s also so there isn’t a cross contamination. It’s just a precaution and don’t want those meat juices dripping on the other foods. Just a friendly tip! Love your ideas and your videos!
Just a note on food storage. Raw food should always be stored under prepared food to prevent drips leading to contamination. So icecream on top, beef in the middle & poultry always goes on the bottom. Great job, Jordan! You've inspired me to clean out my freezer yet again.
Next video idea: tips on how to survive postpartum/ new mom life. Easy freezer meals, how to organize your day, etc. You’re TH-cam channel has been preparing me for years now and I’m due in 2 weeks!
Freezer casseroles saved me! So many things freeze very well. I also froze plain cooked shredded chicken, cooked ground beef and cooked ground sausage. I also made a giant pot of rice and froze that for individual meals! I keep cheese in my freezer. I keep frozen veggies on hand. So many ideas to throw together. Stir fries, pastas, casseroles. Good luck mama!!✨✨
I just had my third! Congrats! My rule of thumb is to double what you’re making for dinner and freeze it. Within a week you’ll have a week’s worth of food without much prep work :)
I notice you never ask family members what they want for dinner I think that’s awesome! For me trying to please everyone was overwhelming and made me hate dinner time.
I took a cue from your "eat through the freezer" mini series and made a meal plan based on items I already had in my freezer. It made choosing recipes so much easier (I am not good at making things up on the fly), and we aren't buying things we already had!
Awesome job Jordan!!! Please continue to record more of your freezer cooking meals PLEASE! You are teaching me SOOOOOOO MUCH from it! God continue to bless you and yours🙌🙏❤God is good
Such good advice. I love watching how you feed and care for your amazing family! You inspire me to go through my freezer which I will do as soon as the snow quits falling off the roof and hiding the door. Thank you for sharing!!!
Love this!! So the last meal that you made with the bbq chicken didn't know where you were going with that but the final product looks delish!! what a great idea!! Love these video's!!
Jordan, my love!! I know you absolutely didn’t ask, but as I was watching this I thought I’d share with you that if you put your mushrooms in a brown paper bag to store them in the fridge, they last longer! And you won’t have to deal with them getting “soupy” in those plastic containers. All the love, from The Nelsons!
Freezer/shelf meals advice couldn’t have come at a better time. With rising costs everywhere, it’s nice to see how creative you can get with what you have.
I think that's great. Eating what we all have is so good right now considering prices have gone up everywhere. It's just good practice for everyone and I love the ideas. Thanks!
Super helpful 2 videos. My family needs to eat through our freezer too... and make room for high value foods like meats. You're smart to stock up, especially during these times. Sending hugs from Ontario 🇨🇦
Thank you for these videos. It’s so easy to forget or get lazy about freezer foods. I have been able to NOT buy more meat this week and have been going in the freezer to see what we have. Money has been tight so it helps tremendously! Thank you thank you for all of your great content!
Loved this 2-part 'empty my freezer for cow!' I think you did fantastic, and your big family is blessed to have you in charge of their food! These uncertain times in the world make me want to be well-stocked, that's for sure, and with a family of ten, you are so smart to focus on that. Blessings to your beautiful bunch!
Jordan these videos are gold. It’s really really helpful for people like me who don’t know how to cook much and need guidance on how to make random foods you have work together
Loved this! For some reason I thought a 1/4 cow would take up more space. I kept saying to myself “Jordan isn’t cooking this food fast enough.” I was so worried lol… 🤣🤣
I'd use the frozen burritos for smothered burritos with enchilada sauce I even make them in the Crock-Pot spray bottom with cooking spray put a small amount of enchilada sauce out salsa in bottom of CP add burritos to with rest of can sauce or jar salsa cook on low 2-3 hours add cheese on top replace cover for 7 minutes to melt enjoy ❤️
Couldn’t wait for the rest of this video! One of my favorites you’ve done! Love the shelf/freezer cooking concept, but it’s even better to watch how you do it and get ideas that way. Love it! PS- do you have an air fryer? Would love ideas on how you use yours. Love your crock pot recipes.
Love your videos I have learned so much ! The socks near the front door game changer 🙌💕 I no longer feel stressed leaving my house looking for socks for the kids !
I loooove how you stock up on freezer food, I was doing it with your advise, “one for now two for later”, and getting meat and chicken when available at good prices…. Little that I knew then, some neighbour pulled my electrical switch down as I was gone for a week vacation, 😢 i cried so much for all the waste, I was able to still recover some food but felt so angry. Great and helpful receipes! Thanks Jordan!
Just another note - we keep some frozen cheese pizzas on hand and when we have chicken already cooked and needs to be eaten - we heat it enough, add the BBQ sauce and then put it on the pizza - it's a great way to use the meat and spice up a plain pizza. Some times I do that with leftover steaks too
One of my family's favorite casseroles: 1/3 starch (usually potatoes, but I've been known to use macaroni or rice), 1/3 cooked meat, 1/3 vegetables. Classic combos: macaroni, ham, and broccoli; rice, ground beef, and canned diced tomatoes with some browned onions on top; small potatoes, chicken, frozen carrots with peas. Make up a mornay sauce (bechamel with melted cheese in it) vary the cheese and spices to compliment the dish, i.e. cheddar with ham and broccoli seasoned with plain salt and pepper, combo pepper jack, Monterey Jack, and taco seasonings for the ground beef; swiss cheese and a spoon of sherry for the chicken. It is a foolproof casserole formula. Easy, low effort, highly popular with munchkins, and nutritionally balanced. I've also used bits of leftover meat combined, like breakfast sausage with ground beef and chopped ham, etc. Uses up leftovers without the kids catching on. I've also substituted marinara sauce and enchilada sauce for the bechamel. It always seems to work out. I was a foster mom and had to feed 5 ravenous teens in a hurry - otherwise elaborate and expensive pizza orders would mysteriously be delivered; invariably ordered by, "Not me, Mom!" I could get dinner on the table in about 60 minutes (starting from scratch and using the oven), 30 minutes (all precooked ingredients also using the oven); or as little as 20 minutes using the instant pot. Love your content, keep up the great work!
Awesome 👍 love all the quick easy meals can't wait to see more ☺️😊 Have a wonderful day and Blessed weekend and as always. Have fun it what every u do .. Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🌾🌵🦎💗
Love it! These were both GREAT reminders to use what's in your fridge/freezer, pantry first I try to do shelf cooking as often as possible but sometimes I get sucked into the weekly shopping routine when I have stuff I need to use before we get more 👍👍👍 As always, THANK YOU 🙏
Nice job! I'll definitely use some of your dinner ideas for inspiration. I'm eating through my freezer now too, so I can clear our some of the older stuff and make room for the butter I found on clearance! It's a win win situation. 😊
Currently making BBQ chicken breasts in the Crock-Pot... 😁 I see a quick meal with those freezer Chimichangas you've got there: serve with salsa rice on the side. A great way to use up a partial bag/container of rice and jar of salsa and make plain rice more interesting, and easy-peasy. Make rice as usual and mix in salsa of choice to heat through. Shredded cheese on top makes it extra yummy. 😁
Have you ever made Pepsi Potroast? We love it! My family tries to make it at least once a month, but end up with leftovers, so 1 crockpot gives us about 3 meals for 4-5 ppl!! • roast (whatever fits in your crockpot) • Pepsi (or Coke, but diet, vanilla, or cherry will not work. I haven't tried with the kind with real sugar. I wonder if Dr. Pepper would work...) Just enough to cover the top of the roast. Usually around half of a 2 liter bottle. • 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup. • 2 envelopes of French onion soup mix. • Salt & Pepper to taste (I usually add Garlic Powder also, but that's just my preference) We usually serve w/ seasoned little potatoes or on top of garlic or cheesey mashed potatoes. Hope you try it!!! Good luck & would love to hear everyone's thoughts or new takes on it! 😁
Love this type of content! I always look at the food you make and wonder how it is enough for all of your kids AND spouse?! But I’m sure it is just enough and you don’t have leftovers often.
You can fry those egg noodles and some oil and throw some cinnamon and sugar mix on them and have homemade cinnamon twist from Taco Bell. I used to work there we use egg noodles to make the cinnamon twists
You made some lovely meals for when you do a q & a have you got any fussy eaters and how do you manage them my 11 year old granddaughter is so hard to find food she likes she loves African food when her dad cook's 🤗💞
I'm impressed that you can look at 1 thing and have an idea and actually go cook it. I stare at ground beef and think tacos....nah...hmmm for like 30 mins! lol
I had the best chicken the other night. It went like this, chicken leg quarters 4, crockpot s&p, add bag of stuffing over top of chicken, can cream of mushroom, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup of water mix all that put over top of stuffing. Cook high 4 hours. It was sooooo good. Give it a try. Just found this channel, still need to watch more lol
I never use up sauce packets from meal kits from Trader Joe's and Aldi. I have a lot of soy sauce that was meant for the vegetables . I marinate chicken with one part marinade and 2 parts stock. ( The sauces tend to be very salty so I water them down with stock. )
We just bought an 8th of a cow and since the organic ground beef we bought was super lean, we add a pound of ground pork to it. YUMMY-we make chili, taco filling, shepherd's pie, w pasta, etc. Chicken idea. Thaw enough for you family. Put into pot w water, barely covering the chicken Add whatever seasoning you like, salt/pepper Onions, garlic and any vegetables you like, potato cubes you can add a Goya packet or a pinch of Adobo/tablespoon Better than Bouillon Cover and cook on low flame from 40-60minutes. Slow and low *add a little frozen seasoning (below) Seasoning to Freeze: one of the following in a blender -green bell pepper, cored, cut in coarse pieces -bunch of rinsed cilantro -head of garlic, peeled -onion, peeled, cut -cup olive oil -1 teaspoon capers -1 cup Spanish olives w pimentos Grind up and freeze the paste flat or in ice cube trays *When you cook, you can add some of the frozen paste to your cooking/GAME CHANGER(fantastic for stews/taco meat/chicken)
We do what we call 'fishy rice' we put like 4 portions of rice and three portions of frozen fish into the instant pot on the rice setting ( skin side up) let it cook then take off the skin of the fish when it's done add some veggies (cooked) soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix it up with a fork.. It's tasty...
You and your family should be proud that you made a dent in that freezer by "getting rid" of quite a bit of food to make room for a 1/4 of a cow. I'm pretty sure you've all had your fill of chicken for a while. I would definitely make up one of the roasts for St. Patrick's Day (Corned Beef), and save another for Easter Sunday dinner. Well done!!! Keep it up!!!
Gas prices and therefore food prices are rising quickly here in South Mississippi. How will this change how you shop? Will you rely on your overstock primarily? Curious how everyone will deal with the inflation.
Thank you for giving me ideas for the things in my freezer! I need to eat more fish so I have had salmon in mine for a bit with no idea what to do with it 😅 Now I know. I had no idea how to make cheese sauce either!!
I've been eating through the freeze lately too, but not because i had 1/4 of a cow coming! We had the dreaded rona unfortunately so was just using what we already had. I love your freezer hoarding tendancies, its taught me to never waste anything which of course ends up in money saved. The meals you whip up are my kinda food! Whats the latest on your shelf cooking book?
I really don’t know how you stretch food to feed 10 😥🤣 bbq chicken was just a little bit and once served it seemed like you could only get 5-6 portions
great inspo, meter man turned my electricity off for way longer than he said he would so my freezer really needs defrosting and cleaning now but it's full of stuff so it needs emptying first. the meal prep stuff is easy to deal with but sometimes I look at ingrediants and am like, what do i do with this. Might have a big pot luck style thing with all my stuff and let my friends eat through my freezer 😂

You are correct. No shame in that game! We all have gone through it!
Girl how because my budget is $440 for my husband and I and my 2yo! That’s including food and household items as well!
You’re amazingly clever and creative! Inspiring
I've been dying for part 2 and I'm so excited! Why I'm so invested in another family's freezer I'll never know...but here we are!

@@jordanpagecompany So is that a refrigerator you converted into a freezer? If so, how did you do it?!?
@@meghoughton562 probably not, you can buy big standing freezers that look like refrigerators.

Some of these don't look like nearly enough food for 10 people
I was also thinking that. I get that it's insanely hard to feed and care for 8 kids. But that rly isn't enough food.

That bbq chicken dish was so simple yet amazing looking plopped on top of mashed taters with cheese. Cheese makes everything amazing IMO

We just got a quarter 🐄 so worth it! Ours took up our whole 5 qt deep freezer!
Mine takes up way more room than just a shelf, too! It must have been a very small cow!
We had 50lbs of ground meat alone that’s in a different freezer. I think ours was 150/60 lbs total
If it was grass fed, it would likely be a smaller cow.
I love everything you made. You rock.
jordan put your mushroom in papier bag ride after baying it. last 2 week! and the papier bag can be use allways again foe more mushroom!
We do what we call 'fishy rice' we put like 4 portions of rice and three portions of frozen fish into the instant pot on the rice setting ( skin side up) let it cook then take off the skin of the fish when it's done add some veggies (cooked) soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix it up with a fork.. It's tasty...
Do the toddlers eat the same as everyone else? I noticed only 6 Salmons .
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
You and your family should be proud that you made a dent in that freezer by "getting rid" of quite a bit of food to make room for a 1/4 of a cow. I'm pretty sure you've all had your fill of chicken for a while.
I would definitely make up one of the roasts for St. Patrick's Day (Corned Beef), and save another for Easter Sunday dinner.
Well done!!! Keep it up!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Gas prices and therefore food prices are rising quickly here in South Mississippi. How will this change how you shop? Will you rely on your overstock primarily? Curious how everyone will deal with the inflation.
Thank you! I def need this now during these crazy times of inflation!
I enjoyed watching this but found your portion sizes really small! 😄 did you feed all your family with each meal you made?
I’d love to see how you use the beef now too 😊
Thank you for giving me ideas for the things in my freezer! I need to eat more fish so I have had salmon in mine for a bit with no idea what to do with it 😅 Now I know. I had no idea how to make cheese sauce either!!
I've been eating through the freeze lately too, but not because i had 1/4 of a cow coming! We had the dreaded rona unfortunately so was just using what we already had. I love your freezer hoarding tendancies, its taught me to never waste anything which of course ends up in money saved. The meals you whip up are my kinda food! Whats the latest on your shelf cooking book?
I really don’t know how you stretch food to feed 10 😥🤣 bbq chicken was just a little bit and once served it seemed like you could only get 5-6 portions
4:40 why the heck do you have foil on top of the silicone mat? Just place foil direct on top of the baking sheet?
This was motivating! Thanks JP
I love the chicken stroganoff recipe! I will definitely be making that in the near future.
If 2 adults eat one bit fish each, how do all those kids eat between the last 3 pieces? Was there more?
I love Chicken, You did so many different ways it cool
Awesome work
I do Freezer Friday, where we take something from the freezer and make plans to eat it in the next 24 hours. Weekend are easier for me to cook.
Great video! I always learn so much from you 🥰
great inspo, meter man turned my electricity off for way longer than he said he would so my freezer really needs defrosting and cleaning now but it's full of stuff so it needs emptying first. the meal prep stuff is easy to deal with but sometimes I look at ingrediants and am like, what do i do with this. Might have a big pot luck style thing with all my stuff and let my friends eat through my freezer 😂
Oh no!
Awesome video Jordan.
So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Nice - you did great - so inspiring
