Since becoming a widow I have started freezing left overs. They are great for when I am unwell or just don't feel like cooking. I love making meals that feed a lot and take a lot of effort. I can eat it on the day, have leftovers the next day and put away 4-6 serves in the freezer for later. I can then enjoy it for weeks or months without having to remake it.
The word out, about, house… They’re all giveaways that you’re Canadian. Even the word process and garage will give you away. Let’s not forget how you say the word “Sorry.” 😂
If you truly only want one portion at a time because a quart size bag is 32 ounces or 2 pounds which is quite a bit, are we able to use either snack bags or sandwich bags and fill them halfway up seal them fold them in half and put them inside a larger gallon Ziploc bag and make portions that way? For instance, I would put a bunch of Half filled sandwich bags with the shredded chicken and sloppy Joe mix seal them and throw them into a gallon Ziploc bag and maybe have 8 to 10 portions in there of the same thing?
That would totally work! We seldom fill them with a full 32 oz of anything and can be filled with less but you're right - there is always more than one way to skin a cat. :)
I like the dipper chips that way you could put everything inside the actual chip itself, but I think you’re right and they need a little bit of everything in each chip
I've made curried lentils before, but taking the shortcut of using prepared curry powder. Saute the onions, garlic, and ginger; once they're cooked soft, add the curry powder to warm the spices. Then add the lentils; if you want to cook them down to meld the flavors, just leave a little cooking liquid in. I never made soup out of them, but I do enjoy a curry with a little cream or coconut milk added. (Or a dollop of sour cream once it's dished out.) But it isn't necessary. I also like to make my not-chili with "chili flavored" red beans rather than kidney beans, which I am not fond of. Idk if all stores have them, but mine does. In fact, I think I have chili flavored beans, salsa, cheese, AND sour cream in my kitchen right now. That could be lunch....
In Canada I can't say I've ever seen chili flavoured red beans, let along chili flavoured sour cream! That doesn't mean it doesn't exist - I just haven't seen it here. It sounds interesting! I think that is probably a very good lunch! lol
@@FreezerMeals101 no, no, the sour cream is regular sour cream! (Wouldn't that be fun, though? I suppose you could add a packet of chili seasoning to it.... Hmm.... 🤔) The only thing that comes chili flavored is the beans. ☺
LOL as soon as Sharla said "about" I knew you all were in Canada, then you called her out,, that was funny,, thanks for sharing these ideas, definitely will be using some,,

Sorry for your loss, I am also a widow and I do the same thing , I make to much food and eat it for a day or two and freeze it for work lunches.
I had a similar recipe to your BBQ Chicken Sloppy Joes at a theme park near me and have never forgot it - :) Excited to try your version!
Excellent!

🤣 true!
How about, "you can catch a wicked sale!" I know some USians in the far northwest say wicked in that sense, but most of us don't. ☺💙
You forgot “process” and “pasta”
Sharla, have you tried pickled jalapeños on your nachos instead of fresh and pickles? So good!
I actually like to eat the same foods all week, but I totally get it. I also like freezing leftovers in serving size bags.

I think I already have these stacks from another pack. But I like the stacks concept so I hope you have new ones in the future.
I’m glad you like them. We are working on some new ones right now!!!
So excited for nachos 🎉
LOL!!! Oh, I eat nachos just like Sharla...I love it. I thought I was the odd one, but now I feel so much better!!! Thank-you!!!
There is someone out there for everyone in the food world! lol I love that you don't feel alone.
Frugality
I would love for Sharla to make a video showing step by step how to make her PERFECT NACHOS!!!❤
Oooooh! I like where you're headed...
Love the chat and recipes I need to make nachos now 😀
Spinabifida and Service dog training are 2 things I can talk about alot.
Excellent! Both worthy topics that most people don't know a lot about.

I'm really into Nachos right now. And oddly (or not) Fresh fruit. It's the heat, I think. Love you both kiss kiss.
Fresh fruit is perfect in the heat! And there is never a bad time for nachos!
LOL as soon as Sharla said "about" I knew you all were in Canada, then you called her out,, that was funny,, thanks for sharing these ideas, definitely will be using some,,
It was an extreme "abooot" so I couldn't let it slide. It's not normally so pronounced. lol Glad we could inspire you!
Ha ha you are both fun!
Haha! Thanks!
I try so hard to make big batches and freezing but my sons have huge appetites and eat large portions if the food is available
It's a constant battle!
I now keep a small freezer bag of taco meat for my nachos!
That's awesome! And so handy!
The blue chips were in the pharmacy section because they are happy pills
I snort-laughed. Good one!
