- Do you ever wish you could just go to your pantry and take out a bag containing all ingredients for a fast entree? No thinking..no gathering up ingredients...no need to stop at the store on the way home to pick up something for supper. Or, in an emergency, would you like not to worry about what to feed your family or what you could take over to your neighbor? This video shows you how.

These would make great "care packages"!
I agree. They absolutely would.
So true! I’ve given these as Christmas gifts to coworkers!
@@RoseRedHomestead Is there a recipe book with dry ingredients? I have lots of big cannisters with dry ingredients would love to put them in jars or baggies with simple directions . Thanks!
@@sharonstott4826 I am not sure--I assume you mean recipes for combining dry ingredients like beans, lentils, rice, etc into meals. It is fun just to experiment. You could do a Google search on that topic to see what you come up with.
@@RoseRedHomestead Thanks for answering so quickly. I loved the show about dry ingredients mainly because I have lots. I have been pressure canning meats lately. I would want a bunch of recipes before opening all those dehydrated cannisters, for one or two . So just wondering where you got your measurements for final meal. Otherwise, seems like the dehydrated vegs will stay in their cans. I would really like to crack them open and do what you did. Thanks!
My husband thought I was crazy when I added powder sour cream, heavy cream, and whole milk to our dry stock shelves. Then he needed heavy cream and we had none in the fridge and the powdered worked like a champ, he’s now changed his tune! I love your stroganoff idea! I’m going to start doing this. Your right chasing all the odds and ends can be tiring and at the end of the day you just want to eat!
Thanks for sharing!!
I always keep dry milk and dry buttermilk in my pantry. I tried the dehydrated sour cream and it tasted awful (in my opinion).
Isn't that the way it is....if it doesn't effect you, you just can't relate. But once your effected, then you know! Its human nature, but one must really start looking outside the box these days. Its 2 years later from this video and look where we are today! Good Lord above...I don't want to be effected to find out anything today! Lol..funny, but not funny. I never knew one could have powdered sour cream, so I'm getting to it! Wish me luck! Blessings from Michigan.....🙂
@@cbass2755 I agree. Just started canning and dehydrating.
Love this video!!
Pam I love Meals in jars. I have made up lots & lots of meals in a jar for the day our grid go's out .Thank you for all you do .
this video might be 4 yrs old but the idea is wonderful! ive been wanting to make meals in jars for a LONG time and i really like this proccess. thank you so much for ALL your ideas. I dont know where id be as far has my home prepping if i hadnt run across your videos 2 yrs ago!! God bless you both !
Love the bags with everything in them! Great idea to share with family and neighbors who are sick, injured or struggling with whatever. Love your presentations
Thank you. We have found these to be so useful, as you say, for sharing with others as well as for us when we come home tired after work.
Hey Rose-you are such a good sales lady. I went on Amazon and ordered everything I need. Lol. I was raised by parents that grew up in the depression and my Dad was in WW2. My kids think I’m nuts, I live alone and I can whip them (10 of them) a home cooked meal, because they say I am a food hoarder.😂 Thank you, I have learned a lot from that “Woman with a gadget.”
The young just don't get it! When the crap hits the fan and there is no food available, they will be terrorized and then they will come to your house for a meal or two.
I love it that you leave the "problems" in and demonstrate how you solve your roadblocks.
Completly agree.
Pam, you should have at least 500K subs; your content is thorough, never dry and easily understandable!
Suggestion:
You could have put the pasta in a baggie (or put in a coffee filter or paper towel, parchment paper, etc.), then placed on top of the rest of your ingredients in the jar if there was enough room, but it looked like there was plenty of room. Even if you put an ingredient into a paper or plastic bag and fold it over, the vacuum will work, but won't pull the contents out. This will save on expensive vacuum sealing bags and space. It's also a trick for vacuum sealing powders in jars to use the baggie or place the coffee filter on top of the powder thus avoiding it from getting everywhere when under vacuum.
I have learned so much from our viewers, which I truly appreciate. Thank you!
I love that you are thinking about your neighbors in a time of need. 💚
I “borrowed” my mom’s food saver and love it. The bag material is expensive and I have thrown bags I made to small away. Now I will save them for smaller items. Every penny counts. TH-cam recommended your channel last week. I have been binge watching ever since. Watching you make me reminisce of cooking with my granny. Your channel has been so refreshing to me. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome! So glad these videos are useful to you--thanks for watching.
The vacuums bags are pricey! When I have those bags that are too small I seal top and bottom then cut off one of the side seals which makes a vertical long bag perfect for seasonings, pastas or other items.
@@melaniereese5255 in a pinch you can reuse the bags from cereal boxes to vaccume seal other items.
I made something similar for years as Christmas gifts for my family. I generally make 25 set every year. 3 - 5 soup mixes, 5-10 spice mixes, 2 - 3 drink mixes. I bake mini loafs of quick breads 4-7, 2-3 “butters”. For 2020 & 2021 we didn’t our big family get together. I am always on the look out for new ideas. I am playing with your instant soup mixes this winter.
Thanks for the information and the soup mixes sound a good idea.
Id love it if you would share how you do these mixes
When I cut the bags too short, I find it works (for some things) to cut the factory sealed end and seal the long sides to make a deep bag. Fill and seal the end where the factory seal was.
Nice tip! Thanks.
Great idea!
I ALWAYS cut my bags much bigger than what I need. That way I can reuse the bag more than once, and still have enough to seal.
Wish I could give you 10 thumbs up, another awesome video thank you!
Found you about a week ago been watching a little bit every day!! i’ve been taking notes and have gotten busy canning.
Please keep the videos coming you do such an excellent job explaining everything.
Awesome, thank you! We took a couple of months off over the summer, but will be posting another one very soon.
Started using brown lunch bags and put foods like pasta, rice, etc... items that tend poke before vacuum sealing. Liked so much started using the bags to pre-measure flour, sugar, corn meal, etc. to keep in the canisters.
You and Rain Country are absolutely
A M A Z I N G
Thank you so much! We are pleased to be listed with Rain Country on your AMAZiNG list!
I absolutely LOVE your ideas and the way you explain in detail what we need to do and what to expect. You are the best instructor and I can't thank you enough!
These would be terrific for bug out or go bags, too. You could keep some in your car for emergencies and a small portable stove, too. As someone else said these would be great for giving to unprepared people who may show up, also even if you don't have babies or children, diapers, wipes and powdered milk added to the bags for young families. They can also be bartered for other things people may need. The powdered milk would -not- be for young babies still on formula, it would be for older babies and children who need to drink milk, or for adding to food and baked goods. God bless you and your family.
You make learning fun...your students are fortunate to have you and your experience!
Thank you!
Watching your video on Meals in Bags, which is such a great idea. Very familiar to me, from when I was a teen in the 70s, with the energy crisis, and inflation. My mom and I would bag up meals kind of like this, but didn't have home versions of vacuum sealers then. We used mostly already commercially canned foods right off the shelf, in the portion sized cans. They made for heavy bags for sure, and we just reused paper grocery bags we going from the store, but it still saved so much time and aggravation at the end of our day when it was time to put together dinners for 6 people!
My mom was a teacher, my stepdad was a draftsman for the piping systems on nuclear submarines; we lived about an hour from where they worked, since we had just moved the summer before. I was 7, 8 and 10 years older than my 3 siblings! So, I got "drafted" to be after-school babysitter for all 3 of them. The youngest wasn't even old enough to go to school yet, and the older 2 were both in 1st grade. The 2 oldest got home before I did (I was a sophomore in high school.) The baby brother spent his day at a sitters down the street, so I had to fetch him home. Then "ride herd" on the little darlings until about 6:00! Plus come up with dinner by then. The bags made it a whole lot easier to do that.
At 15, with school work to worry about, plus keeping 3 kids from killing each other, or me, plus cooking meals, folding laundry, etc., the last stress I needed was to make decisions about dinner for all of us!
Thanks for showing this. It's a great system, and more folks should take advantage of the whole idea!
One question- what about a hot bread, or a dessert mix for the end the hot meal? I can think of plenty of options!
Hi, I am so happy you showed this. It would be wonderful for my parents. Thank you Miss Rose. I think you are a geniuse
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Great idea. I will definitely try this. Suggestion: instead of stapling which damages the sack, use a clothes pin or office binder clip. You can get them in colors or paint them.
Great idea. Thanks.
I think I'd punch a hole in recipe card with written recipe. Attach to handle with ribbon. Then it would be ready for next time without having to write on small lid. My handwriting is terrible.
@bettywhittington9654 That would be a great idea for when you give the bag to a shut-in or sick person or family. They will know how to make the soup and can save the recipe for another time too.
I just love you and your hair looks beautiful. You look so young.
What a wonderful idea, I have never thought of this before. I love the way you go into such detail and explain everything. You make me happy. Kind people are always beautiful.
God bless y'all real good

Hello Fresh took this and ran with it.
I don’t know how I’ve missed this video, but it’s so helpful. I homeschool my 3 kids and by 4pm I’ve also used every available brain cell 😂
I’m going to put a few of these together from my pantry items.
Glad it was helpful! And, I think doing a good job of homeschooling children is indeed a major undertaking. You deserve something wonderful!
Lol. I missed this one too!
Love your soup mixtures. One thing I have been doing is when I pressure can if I don't have full canner I will fill in with jars of water. Pressure sealed water is good to put in your bag just in case you don't have good water to make your soup. You never know. It also good for wound cleaning in an emergency. Thank you for such great videos.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea, and how you fix it so everything is uniform. Those bags are sturdy, they keep the contents dust free, and they make every meal look like a gift. Such a convenient way to pull out and prepare a meal, or grab and take to a friend.
Very cool.
I love that you out together extra meal bags to help the neighbors in case of an earthquake! 🥰
Absolutely marvelous ideas.
Thank you so much for sharing all these great ideas 💡 😊
I love this concept. Jerry and I are so thrilled we found you.
Oh, I so inow those days. A great concept. Thanks for the idea ❤
Thanks! Jim
Wonderful idea always great for emergencies
I really like these bags. I often work long hours teaching at a college as well and understand what you mean about being tired when you get home. I like the idea of setting these up and then going to the barn to finish my evening chores feeding the critters while it cooks.
That sounds like a great plan! Thanks for sharing.
This lady is so cool! (and smart)
I like making these ready to make meals as little gifts to let busy people know I'm thinking of them, or for if someone is having a rough time (for whatever reason) and needs a little relief at meal time.
You offer such good information.
Thank you.
That's a great idea! Thank you.
I really enjoy your videos. You share such great ideas and techniques. And you are positively delightful! ❤️
Thank you so much! Glad the videos are useful for you.
Isn't she Beata! I've learned everything from Pam, everything! And she returns your questions when you ask! Not all do. I'm going to make these once I have me and family of three (4) total taken care of. Then I can feel I can be generous. But not yet. I just learned how to can, and I'm still very nervous, but I follow exactly what she does and I'm doing ok. Good luck making up your bags! It will be fun...😄
I love her videos. She gives excellent information and is great at teaching!
Thank you.
You are a GENIUS!!! I’m going to show this to my daughter, she’s a busy lady with a young baby and as you say doesn’t have any brain left or want to even focus on food by dinner time and this would come in handy!! I love all these ideas!! I have a vacuum sealer and I can put them together for her. Frog eye salad?!?!!lol!!! 😂never heard of that before!!🥰🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦
I love this idea! Soup is a year round staple for me; it's just so satisfying. I can see bringing one or two to a sick friend or to a family with a new baby - the possibilities are endless! Thank you for showing us how. ~ Lisa
PS - For acini de pepe, say ah-CHI-ni deh pehpeh.
You are so neat and do all perfect. You are above Martha Stewart . You make hard work look like fun.Thank you. These single jar meals and those pretty bags look perfect
The Systems Analyst in me smiled as I watched this video. Great method!
Miss Pam, if you decide to do any more soup mix vacuum canning of dry ingredients with other items you have already canned I would LOVE to watch!!! Here's hoping you make you way to the 50 ready in a bag meals!!! Love this idea and love how the dry mixes look in layers in the jars!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the tip! I am planning on doing just that.
Great idea. Only problem is if water becomes scarce. Better to have canned foods with liquids in them…dried goods should be rice, pasta,etc.
You are AWESOME!
Thanks for showing us this!
I love this idea. Thank you for sharing.
I'm playing catch up at my late age, but I just want to say, this Woman with a gadget is SUPER. Much love ❤ to you and Mr. Jim from Sunshine State
Rene: Thanks! Jim
When I made chicken soup in a jar I used a quart jar and I bought those small noodles like mrs grass soup has and put the noodles in a small baggie and put it inside the jar last so it was separated from the rest. It's the same as what your doing....mine just ended up in one jar. Mine were for gifts. I love your videos.
That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I did find it practical. You are teaching me so much I love this. Thank you.
I just love your videos, you are so down to earth and no nonsense and thoughtful. Love food storage, thanks for the excellent detail in your videos. Great ideas!!!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful idea. I attached a basket drawer to the bottom of the shelf above my canned meat for noodles, rice & dehydrated potatoes. Pull one of each & suppers on the stove. I love your recipes!
Now that is a great idea as well! Thanks for sharing.
I love these meals in bags series!
Love, love, love you, thank you for making me want to prepare for my family, but most of all for my own peace of mind.
12-2021 THANK you for all you have done, God bless you!
Jerry: Thank you! Jim
What a fantastic idea! I love this!
I absolutely love love love the soup in a bag meals! How ingenious! My daughters will be gifted with a few of these but will also be so inspired by you showing us this fabulous way of meal planning. Thank you even though you made this video a couple years ago we are still benefitting from your labors!
Dottie: Thank you! Jim
LOL, just watching this inspired me to go out to my canning pantry and scrounge for some dehydrated meals I made up - in 2013! Found a Ziplock bag which never got vacuum sealed, with a note 'needs 1 tbsp beef bouillon'. Added water to the hamburger stew, along with the bouillon and a small bag of dehydrated mushrooms from last year. Still good! These meals are inspiring so I am going to try some of Pam's recipes for some gift bags, I will be making up this month. Thanks for the ideas. 💚
I think you are brilliant! As soon as I can rearrange the store room shelves I am going to start this. Many times we will eat out because I don't want to cook. This will save us a lot of money!
This is a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing it. I look forward to trying these recipes!
I love this idea of meals in a bag. Just plan ahead once, gather all the ingredients and you have 8, 10, 12 or 50 meals ready to go. They all look delicious.
They have been very useful and every one is a nice meal. I have been asked to add more like this, so I am in the planning stages of doing that.
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
You are wonderful ! Thank you for the instructions
and lessons. ❤️ Keep them coming!
Wow--thank you! We are making more every week.
I just love, love, love these meals in bags!
Love this!!! ❤️ this is my next project!!! Thank you Pam!! 🥰🥰
I love watching your videos! So relaxing and educational. Will try these recipes. Thank you! Enjoy listening about your family too! So nice.
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate you straight forward your approach and explanations are.
Thank you.
Thank you both for your informative videos! I LOVE the meal in a bag idea!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
I love watching this channel, thank you for sharing your wealth of information.
What a great system!
You are amazing. Thank you for shearing your great ideas and your precious time. ❤️
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for you videos! Im new to your channel and just got into canning a few yrs ago but now im going to try this!! Im a stay at home mom and im always looking for new things to do for the family! Again thank you so much!
What a great idea!
Thank you , Great informational videos. like the old saying " your a doll and a half.
I wish I had the room to do these bags...It makes so much sense, but I also need all the freeze dried ingredients....so this is something to work towards! Wonderful! Still learning the canning stage and just started dehydrating....Thank you! Very informative!
Sounds great!
I've only just found your channel and you are amazing I've loved learning about dehydration and vacuum sealing
Watching in 2022 Brilliant....Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
I have that meals in jars book, love her ideas. I’ve made these for gifts but I’ll also be keeping some on hand now. I’m glad I found your channel, you have such good info and excellent presentation. Thank you
You are welcome.
Wow!!!Awesome Ideal. You are a True Blessing.
Thank you! 😊
What a fabulous idea! Easy, simple and shareable. You are a genius and so kind to share these ideas with us..
Thanks so much! 😊
what a marvellous idea
I’m from Scotland and canning is not really a thing here but I’ve just bought myself a presto pressure canner and trying to learn as much as I can before it arrives. I love your videos! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, I hope to follow some of your recipes very soon 😀
That is awesome! I love stories like yours and know you will be successful!
@@RoseRedHomestead thank you very much. The problem with canning not being a thing in Scotland is that there’s no one to learn from! I’ve bought a couple of books from Ball and Weck but it’s not quite the same as being able to watch someone carrying out each step and talking you through it all, your tutorials are invaluable for that so thank you once again for sharing all your wisdom, I’m feeling a lot more confident to use my canner when it eventually arrives!
I think I might start with your apple pie filling and apple jelly with the leftovers, then build up to the more scary stuff ;)
I just bought my jar attachment for my vaccum sealer. Thanks for the inspiration! I have been putting up beans and rice and now the sky's the limit!
Lol! Love love love that! Excellent!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have one of the best TH-cam channels.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and time.
You are very welcome.
What a great idea! I wish I thought about this when I was working 60 to 70 hours a week.
Thank you Red❤️I will be making this next week, a lot of dehydration to do this week🥰
I know this is an older video... but I'm so in love with this idea. Thank you! 🧡
You are so welcome!
You present such lovely and practical videos! Thanks.
Thank you for the complement. We work on making them as practical and realistic as possible.
Such a great idea...lovely soups look so pretty dried or canned fresh. :)
Thank you so much 😊
I love watching these videos!! I enjoy your intelligence and creativity.. You go Rose Red.
Thank you so much!
I just found you here. These are great ideas, especially in these times. I will definitely try them and put them up for my growing pantry. Thank you so much!!! 🌹🌹🌹
Welcome!! And thank you. We are happy to have you along on our adventures!
I recommend all watch these videos. Learn from them. They just may save you from starvation. ❤❤❤
what an excellent idea!!
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Great ideas. Soup in a jar is awesome! Winter will be here in Indiana before we are wanting. These will be lovely to have. Thank you so much!👍👋
You are very welcome.
Hello Rose, your meals in a bag are great! I have recently learned how to pressure can by your instructions! I really enjoy my canning adventures with you! Thank you so much. Now I do have two questions: 1. What size bag do you place the meals in & 2. How do you reconstitute your sour cream, do you add water? My family enjoys soup once in awhile but only make a meal of it in the winter when the soups are hearty. I am applying your principle of fast meals to canning the meat and vegetables separately. I've canned your hamburger , chicken, and roast beef and now I plan to also make your stroganoff and pulled pork. Then I will put those in bags with my own noodles canned potatoes etc. Thanks again, I really enjoy pressure canner and wonder why I never did before!
Wow--you are really going strong! Good for you! We just ate a jar of stroganoff for supper this evening--so good. To 1/2 cup sour cream powder you add 1/4 cup cold water and beat with a fork. Here is a link to the bags I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BKPYN37/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Well I just got done cooking my first “bag meal”. it was tomato beef and lentil soup. I really didn’t think it would be so delicious, absolutely fabulous! I’ve never pressure canned beef before and when I opened the jar of beef chunks there was white on the top and I thought it was some kind of mold or botulism growing, it was whiter than the fat. Scared me, I almost pitched it but I went on the Internet and looked it up and it turns out it’s perfectly fine and normal. I’m learning, thank you so much for making these videos!!!! On to my second bag meal!
That is fabulous, and I am glad you were able to look up about that white stuff!
@Penny B would you be willing to share your recipe: TOMATO, BEEF LENTIL soup?
@@janew5351 I believe it was this video that I watched. It was a year ago I’m pretty sure it was her recipe.
I really like this video, learned a lot am it gives me lots of ideas of different recipes I can try. Thanks for sharing the meals i
We are going to put these meals together in our jars and try them this winter also. Thank you and I will be watching all your videos over the next week to learn a lot more.
I hope you love having these on your pantry shelf as much as we do! They are so convenient. Thank you for your comments!
Love watching the lady Rose she's down to earth. Have an notion she may be a professor at the college.
Just found your channel. Great ideas for quick meals!
These are such a great idea!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wonderful idea. Great for gift giving also.
Absolutely!
This is SUCH a Great idea!!!
Thank you. Such an easy meal to make, or to take over to a sick neighbor.
