      Oh I agree. I do not want to hear a 20 minute speech on a 5 minute recipe. Drives me crazy.

      I couldn’t agree more! No lullaby music, unnecessarily long portions of you stirring etc. straight to the point and I’ll be using this as my next grocery haul/ meal prep on Sundays!

      Never ever microwave left over rice. The microwave brings out a poison. Look it up Always use an oven
      , toaster oven or stovetop. Please look it up

    @mrss4328 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    If you're going to cook all those things within say 5 days they don't all have to go in the freezer either. They can be in the fridge because it saves time instead of taking it from the freezer. You've inspired me and I'm going to the grocery store as we speak in a minute

    Nicole you're awesome, because you show everything. From start to freezer to what it looks like being frozen or thaw to cooking vessel. I have watched many and I mean frozen freezer meals and by far yours is the best. I love that you show what it looks like after being cooked and then you eat it. Amazing. Thank you so much. You rock!!! gb

  • @humblehummingbird2011
    @humblehummingbird2011 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I help my son and daughter-in-law with meals; both work and have somewhat different end of shift times. These preps look absolutely easy and amazing. I am going to have to adjust a bit being my son is a insulin dependant diabetic and she's somewhat keto, so I'm sure I can find a happy medium in all of these! Thank you!!

  • @bnk091182
    @bnk091182 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I'm recovering from trauma that has affected my memory (the death of my son AND my son-in-law within 11 days of one another). They were both in their mid-30s. So so sad.
    Back to the point: I've cooked my whole adult life not only at home but for a living. Suddenly now, I can't put a simple meal together, and can't even begin to start a menu or grocery list! So overwhelming, frustrating, and stressful.
    I'm also diabetic. Nutrition is EVERYTHING when it comes to controlling blood sugar. Needless to say, my blood sugar is now completely out of control, which affects my memory too. It's a vicious cycle that must be interrupted immediately to avoid severe health consequences.
    Your sheet pan dinners are an absolute Godsend to me!!! Simple, inexpensive, nutritious, no cleanup. This is the first time I've got real hope of pulling myself out of this 'death-throw'.
    Thank you so much! I don't know what else to say except keep up the great work! You don't know what a positive impact you're having on people's lives!

    The Greek meatballs with Turkey are so tasty!! It’s very challenging to get a Turkey seasoned well and I think the feta and lemon zest are the key ingredients to it. I’m a teacher and always looking for tasty recipes for lunch instead of sandwiches. I love leftovers!! Thank you Nicole!!

  • @SheltiesRule49
    @SheltiesRule49 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bevjones5093 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your cooking style matches mine. All of the videos I have viewed show dishes I would actually prepare and eat. I made the frozen air fryer salmon for dinner with an improvised glaze since I was out of Dijon. Served it with a zapped baked potato and microwave steamed broccoli. The whole meal took maybe 15 minutes. Thanks so much for great ideas!

  • @susiereed8615
    @susiereed8615 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nicole, love your recipes! I was wondering if you could do a series or video showing how to meal prep and freeze meals for 1 (or 2) person/people? What kind of containers or bags are best, how to keep the money low, ect? It would be nice to get some ideas from someone you could trust that knows how it's going to taste, the correct temps to cook at, just everything! 😂 Love your videos. You make cooking fun and not out of anybodys capabilities - and you do if with a smile and humor! Thanks so much, looking forward to seeing more of your ideas!

      @LifeHacks-ut4pc 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      She is wrong and the green beans like all fresh veggies you freeze must be blanched first. Also you can't add frozen meat to a slow cooker because it will not get to high temp fast enough for safety. She will give you diahrea and these videos are a health hazard.

    If I am going to adddl beer, I like to add Modelo or Guinness They are bold strong beers. I Don't use the whole bottle. I start 1/4 bottle. Then I wait 2 or 3 hours taste & adjust. The first day I like sour cream scallions & cheese. The next day however I love to add my chili on a hotdog with cheese & onion. I line the hotdogs with buns ketchup & mustard, then the hot dogs are added to a casserole dish in line the I add chili over the hotdogs then I top it with onions & cheese. Then the whole casserole dish is added to the oven baked at 350° ubake it till th buns brown a little & the cheese melts. So yummy. Finally top with fresh scallions. Dinner is served with homemade chili dogs & homemade baked beans. Yum don't you think. You can make chili cheese fries too. Chili is so Versital.
