@@kimclark399 I just use the following and omit if someone doesn't like them. Each are rolled like a burrito and put tightly in Saran Wrap & froze until needed. Scrambled Eggs, Cooked Ground Pork (or real bacon pieces or diced ham), Peppers and Onions, Hash Browns (cubed or shredded), and cheese! ❤
Thank you for getting me back on the meal prepped train. Instead of coming home from work and eating chips, cereal, ice cream etc because I’m too tired to make dinner, I just toss in the slow cooker, instant pot, oven etc and relax (I’m finally losing with due to eating right!) thank you !!!
The biscuits look amazing. Since you are using the jumbo flaky biscuits, you can pull each one apart and have double the biscuits and not so thick. That would allow you to use your regular sized muffin tins.
Evaporated milk works well as a heavy cream replacement in most cases. I always keep it on hand because of it's longer shelf life since I don't usually keep heavy cream on hand.
Cottage is certainly more accessible.. in my world anyway. But I actually prefer cottage over ricotta ALL DAY LONG. To me the ricotta is akin to baby throw up. So yah it's a hard pass for me 😜😀
@mamamoments4U 350 about 10-15 minutes, flip, and cook another few minutes until both sides are brown. Just did this this weekend with the apple fritter bread from Target. It was so good!
Handy tip: When I am trying to get the last of any sauce out of a bottle or jar, I add like a quarter cup of water to it and shake it to get the leftover sauce. Then I pour it out into my dish and add another tablespoon more water and shake that. I find this method empties out almost every last drop of the sauce from the bottle 😊
Having meals in the freezer is such a helpful way to prevent stopping for dinner out and blowing your food budget. I always try to cook one for now and one to store in my freezer so we always have a stash of meals on hand. :)
omg, I remember a lot of these recipes, but I had forgotten the ingredient list for most of them.😮 It's nice to have them all-in-one spot -I saved this to use later, Thank you for making me laugh as I'm watching you cook. Great ideas, You're a very pleasant person to watch. Hope you enjoy your holidays, And happy 2024.🎉
I love that these are quick and uncomplicated. I love how you also don’t need your ingredients to be “perfect” and new - like using 3 different brands and flavors of bbq sauce. Good enough!!!!
Thanks for all the recipes! So many ideas! Little tip for the french toasts: if you beat the eggs with the cinnamon before adding milk, the cinnamon mixes in better and doesn’t float to the top.
I watched over a 3 day period. Hard to choose where to start.... so many good recipes to try. Very impressed with the variety of meals you serve your family. I feel like I repeat the same thing over and over. Thanks for all you do. Very inspiring.
I love using plastic containers lined with freezer bags! No need dirty a bowl even. And I love your humor - wisky business is hysterical! I think you're doing really well cleaning out your pantry!!
😂lol. I like the weird words. It makes it light and fun. Keep it coming. The cornier the better. This meal prep is amazing. Thanks for putting all this effort. I did a little meal prep today since I have this holiday off from work, but maybe I will do some of these on the weekend.
Yaaassss!!! Thank you:) That was a ton of great recipes. I couldn’t imagine all the work you put into making this video. You’re a badass Christine. 💪 Teaching women to handle life like a boss. Freezer meals are where it’s at.
The day I learned to use a big cookie scoop to scoop muffins in!🎉 No more awkward pour, or trying to us a measuring cup but all uneven sizes, or thick batter not wanting to come out.
Love this video….great dishes for family gatherings! I add just a tad of water in those almost empty bottles of barbecue sauce…put the top back on, give it a good shake, and I’ve used every drop of barbecue sauce remaining!😀
Frugal fit mom thanks you for doing this omg frugal fit to the rescue, new chicken ideas praise god, i go shopping this week and i have almost everything you have used except for two things ,im ready for this.
Need to publish a recipe book Christine. The other cooking TH-camrs are doing it. I just bought one from another TH-camr. I cherish it because I watched so many of his videos. It sold out fast too. I was lucky to get it. I promise to buy your recipe book if you write one.
I love canned peas!! I’m a weirdo😂. When I was a kid, I’d come home from school starving cuz I was too cool to eat lunch at school!! I’d open a can of peas and heat them up and eat them dipping bread in them 😂. I still do it!!! I’ve made so many of your recipes and without fail every single time my grand brats love them!!!!
The only use for canned peas is a shooting contest with a spoon and the ceiling. They never served peas in high school because the ceiling was dotted with peas.
I love these types of videos you do so much! I know you've done the extreme budget videos already but if you make another one I wouldn't be sad! You always have such great advice
I have made those Hawaiian sweet roll sandwiches several times for our Wednesday night Bible study, I did roast beef and provolone, ham and American cheese, and smoked turkey with Monterey Cheddar, I did a garlic butter sauce on top, yes a huge crowd pleaser!!!! Love your videos, I share them with everyone!❤
I love watching freezer meal prep . I would love to see the reverse happen . What happens the day you need to use sed freezer meal ? How do you reheat etc
Yesssss!!! I binge watched all your past episodes leaving up to the delivery of our baby. Now that he is here, I am so happy for a full freezer. And now that I am nap trapped I am excited to watch 😆
Thank you for all these ideas. I don’t have a big enough freezer to store these but I sure can use your recipes for my suppers !! Thank you for sharing !❤️❤️❤️
It must be something in the fall weather that has many of us thinking the same way. Make ahead meals and make our lives easier as we get busy this fall. I even make multiple loaves of homemade bread, mini loaves of zucchini bread and 3 grape streusel coffee cakes. I did 6 quarts of zuppa toscana soup, 20 breakfast burritos and 20 chicken and black bean burritos. I then ran out of freezer space. We did 24 beef pasties last week and those hog a lot of freezer space. 😊 When I have more room I can't wait to try your chicken taquito recipe first. Then I will work my way through the rest of your recipes.
Great video Christine! I love the mix of short and occasionally longer videos you create. Thank you for all the yummy meal prep ideas. Will definitely be making a lot of these meals.
Loving this video. Need to definitely cook along 😊. My husband and I always enjoy your funny words!! Dubbily do, sprinkle dinkle! It’s all good. Haters just gonna hate 😜. I like to share your meal ideas with my 30 ish old kids. Thanks for all you do ❤
I have a frugal tip regarding citrus: pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before squeezing the juice out. It releases A LOT more juice that way. Money and fruit saved 🙂 Thank you for all your inspiring videos. I just came across you the other day, and I've been binge-watching. Lene, Norway
Such great ideas! Suggestion: On the Korean beef and rice- please try gochugaru instead of red pepper flakes some time. They are roasted Korean chili flakes, pretty inexpensive, delicious and a different kind of heat- like warming instead of burning. Completely different but sooo good.
I love how you use what's on hand. Absolutely planning on what to make on what in house that Needs to be prepared as not to waste food! 😊 Amazing video. #Momlife #homecook #Prepper #Goideats #Cooking2023 #crockpot Inspired me to start using my freezer for emergency frozen meals.. 🙌I add water to my almost empty containers to get everything out when cooking too👍
When are you coming out with a cookbook? "Frugal Fit Mom's Quick Weeknight Dinners", "Frugal Fit Mom's Freeze Ahead Meals: One Weekend at a Time!", "Frugal Fit Mom's Fly By The Seat Of Your Pants Meals: What's on Sale and use up meals"
just a tiny comment for other 2 person or small households. just as Christine uses the freezer containers that work for HER family of 6; use freezer containers that work for YOU. for me her recipes make many more meals than for her family. freeze on everybody!!
I absolutely adore when you include Kimberly Whisk! Thanks for sharing these recipes. I’m going to try the rosemary mustard chicken, my partner is a mustard fiend.
Love these recipes! I'm definitely doing this when I'm expecting baby #2. How nice to not worry about what's for dinner! Love that it's not a bunch of processed junk. Everything sounds so good! ❤
This is frigging AMAZING!!! Thank You Soooooooo Much! Omg, I think I have my meal planning done! 😂 I have to watch bc I was washing dishes and cleaning the house, but I'm doing this, and my mela prepping will be perfect! You are AWESOME!
Love all your videos. What would be a great is to incorporate a shopping or gathering list of food items for us to purchase that go along with your videos. Make sure I have all so i can cook along with you. Thanks !
I keep shelf stable sour cream, milk, buttermilk, and/or cream on hand all the time and it works great for thickening all your creamy stuff because you can rehydrate them with as much or little water as you want - it is more expensive than the potatoes but I find more versatility with it.
OMG Christine there are so many to choose from i may have to watch this again to decide thank you so much for sharing your talent and humor with us.❤❤❤
Where have you been sweet girl??? Just showed up on my feed this morning and I've been binge watching you for 2 hours with no end in sight. Love your style, your recipes but most of all your humor! Keep it up, I'll be watching diligently from now on.❤❤
These all look fantastic! And a way to get variety especially when your family's "what's for dinner" game is strong and your will to come up with ideas has been tapped out that week. 😜 I love lasagna (and so does the family) but I hate making it, so I cheat and just do lasagna roll ups. It is probably the same amount of work or more (who knows), but works for us 😉) I just do meat in the sauce then ricotta, Parm, mozz blend with cookie scoop and smear on individual noodles roll and add to dish pour sauce all over and add more mozz on top.
That was amazing Christine!!! Lots of meals. I have just started freezer meals as an empty nester. I put meals in serving sizes of two instead of four into bags. I also loved seeing a sneak peek of Kimberly Whisk in there too! 🤣
I learned from Becky at Acre Homestead for garlic and Ginger prep- do a bunch at a time, and rough puree in the food processor, and freeze in cubes. Then use as you like. I LOVE this! Cause i LOVE fresh garlic and the premade kind at the stores have different tastes, and I never go through ginger fast enough. Total game changer.
I wanna go to Christine’s house for weekend breakfasts. Everything looks sooo yummy. I am not a morning person, but I am a full time foodie. My mouth is literally watering here. 😛 Man, I’m really missing the days when I had a freezer. There’s no room for one where I am now.
Love some of these ideas I’m asking my bestie if she wants to have a freezer cooking night we can still visit and fun but also make food for the freezers which will help on those lazy nights ❤❤ thanks for the video! I like the long video and watch an increments if needed you have so many wonderful ideas 💡
Love this channel❤Two tricks I have When I bake those baked sandwiches I use everything bagel seasoning instead of the poppy seeds. Delicious And when I make sloppy joes, I make extra and then use it as filling for stuffed peppers. I freeze the leftover sloppy joe until I need it. Comes out great.
So on the burritos I will take out whatever meat is left over chop it up whether it’s roast or brisket or whatever chop it up sauté onions and bell pepper and cheese add some salsa oh and beans they love beans and wrap them in the tortilla and put a light coat of either butter or Olive oil on the tortilla and pan fry them lightly to get them crispy as well and the guys love them they think they got them at a taco truck 🌮
Hey there! Regarding *_using up condiments_* like that mustard and salsa: You can _fully_ use up /empty out them by adding a bit of water and vinegar (or milk, if you like and that suits) and shake it up. Esp. for cooking that's a great method. (For sandwiches you have to be careful with the amount of water you add, of course. 😅)
Christine, this video was AMAZING!! I watch often but rarely comment. I know this video had to be a TON of work! I have saved so many recipes and shared this video with a few friends.
Rogue and Speedy for president!!! Does Dave not love oregano in general or maybe not Italian but Mexican? There's something so satisfying about finishing off something in your pantry that has taken forever 😂
I just saw this on Seed and Sparrow Homestead! Kelsie was considering if she could buy the bag stand thing you were using instead your pitcher. She saw someone use their jar lifter thing (no idea what it's called) she uses for canning, turned over with a bag placed over the top. Very stable & loved it. Credit given where credit's due!!😊
What a great selection of dishes! Some I have seen, some I have made and some fantastic new ones. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us ideas for freezer meals. I have made the traditional Ricotta/spinach stuffed shells, but never thought of them having a taco twist. Sounds good!
Just watched…not sure how I missed it before. You use whatever words you want to, I love the silly words, it makes cooking fun and who doesn’t understand or love a “sprinkles dink”❤️❤️❤️
They all sound and look amazing. Will have to go back and watch it again to narrow down which I will try first. It's just my sister and I so I plan to make some to share with friends. Can't wait to give them a try. Love your energy.
I know this was 4 months ago ago but it popped up today and I have been doing the crazy cooking day today and I just watched and rewound as needed. I’m for sure gonna try. ❤❤❤
In my opinion & I'm going to be forward. I don't like people who talk too much. They get off the subject and it gets boring. But you... You are one of the few I love to watch. You are funny and love your humor and not to mention your recipes. Sprinkle dink of cheese or whatever you use that day 😅
PLEASE continue with with the great word derivatives!! Sprinkle dinkle❤ whisky business❤ and continue being your clever REAL self! You make me happy! And you taught me how to reverse menu plan, too! Stay well, safe and happy!
My sisters and I got together and made 80 breakfast burritos yesterday 🌯 for everyone to share for freezers!
That is awesome!
Cool! What recipe did you use?
Yes recipe please!

"If you think you'll remember, you won't." 💯 % Every time I tell myself, I'll remember, month later I have a mystery meal. 🤣

Having Christine body double with me while I audit my freezer, pantry and spice cabinet is my favorite ADHD hack.
The biscuits look amazing. Since you are using the jumbo flaky biscuits, you can pull each one apart and have double the biscuits and not so thick. That would allow you to use your regular sized muffin tins.
Evaporated milk works well as a heavy cream replacement in most cases. I always keep it on hand because of it's longer shelf life since I don't usually keep heavy cream on hand.
Oh thx bc I never have that specialty type stuff on hand! ❤❤❤
I've tried that but I hate the taste of evaporated milk.
I'm with you.@@gramcracker1616
If have a trader Joe's, they have shelf stable containers of heavy cream that are great to have on hand (especially since zuppa Toscano is my fave)
@gramcracker1616 have you tried it in soups?
I had to pause the video and grab my note book. ❤😂
Beverage in hand. Family preoccupied. Ready to indulge in this video. Happy Monday! 😊
Right?! I love cooking and meal prepping “with” Christine!
😂
I was an adult before I learned that most people use ricotta to make lasagna. Mom always used cottage cheese. I imagine it was cheaper.❤
I don't like ricotta so always use cottage cheese. I think it's better!
I was taught to cook by my immigrant Italian grandma and we used ricotta cheese, i never even knew what cottage cheese was until i was an adult lol
My mom, too. Always used cottage cheese.
Cottage is certainly more accessible.. in my world anyway. But I actually prefer cottage over ricotta ALL DAY LONG. To me the ricotta is akin to baby throw up. So yah it's a hard pass for me 😜😀
Same here. It was always cottage cheese.
I have a culinary degree in baking/ pastry- vinegar is absolutely the secret ingredient to pie crust. You made my heart smile when you used it!
You can do the french toast on a baking sheet coated in melted butter. Much easier than standing at the griddle forever.
Great idea! It reminds me of sheet pan pancakes. So easy & just as tasty.
About how long and what temp? I would love to try! Thanks for sharing 😀
@mamamoments4U 350 about 10-15 minutes, flip, and cook another few minutes until both sides are brown. Just did this this weekend with the apple fritter bread from Target. It was so good!

Currently 33 weeks pregnant and binge watching your videos to prepare freezer meals.
I love that a lot of your recipes are go with what you have vs these specific things. Makes things so much easier.
I bought jumbo shells by mistake, and didn't really know what I was going to do with them. That last recipe will be helpful.😊

I add pineapple to the ham and cheese and add a garlic butter on top...so good!!!
You should try adding cream cheese to the white chicken chili!! One of my faves
Yes and for the lasagna use 1 pkg cream cheese and some sour cream instead of using a container of Ricotta is fantastic!
I love watching freezer meal prep . I would love to see the reverse happen . What happens the day you need to use sed freezer meal ? How do you reheat etc
I’m wondering the same. Do you defrost these recipes first or cook from frozen?
Yesssss!!! I binge watched all your past episodes leaving up to the delivery of our baby. Now that he is here, I am so happy for a full freezer. And now that I am nap trapped I am excited to watch 😆
I need friends like you totally on the same wavelength, thank you for sharing your journey

Just watched…not sure how I missed it before. You use whatever words you want to, I love the silly words, it makes cooking fun and who doesn’t understand or love a “sprinkles dink”❤️❤️❤️
The snip of Kim was PERFECT! 😂
They all sound and look amazing. Will have to go back and watch it again to narrow down which I will try first. It's just my sister and I so I plan to make some to share with friends. Can't wait to give them a try. Love your energy.
I love that you call it "shaker cheese"! We call it sprinkle cheese it our family. What's in there? Who knows, but it's shakey/sprinkley & delicious!
I know this was 4 months ago ago but it popped up today and I have been doing the crazy cooking day today and I just watched and rewound as needed. I’m for sure gonna try. ❤❤❤
Loved this video. So many great ideas and your joy for prepping really shows!
40:02 my friends over you love that song. Love the recipes ❤
Weird words are awesome!!! Keep 'em coming like whisky business, XD, luv it !!!!!!!
Wow, Christine!! That was amazing!! Thank you so much!!!
Wow!!! They all look so good. I just have to eat some room in my freezer and I will try a few. This was such a fun video.
In my opinion & I'm going to be forward. I don't like people who talk too much. They get off the subject and it gets boring. But you... You are one of the few I love to watch. You are funny and love your humor and not to mention your recipes. Sprinkle dink of cheese or whatever you use that day 😅
Love the marathons!
lots of chicken, burger, eggs and cheese with delicious side ideas. what's not to love? you must have a dedicated freezer.
I totally love it when my husband helps also.
PLEASE continue with with the great word derivatives!! Sprinkle dinkle❤ whisky business❤ and continue being your clever REAL self! You make me happy! And you taught me how to reverse menu plan, too! Stay well, safe and happy!
I'm way late watching this lol but frozen or very cold Butter, grate it into the dry pastry ingredients. FABULOUS. This all looks so great!❤
