The movie sounds fun.
Pea salad
41:21 1- Sharla! My heart is broken with you putting back garlic. (Just kidding) 2- Christie I think your husband is a vampire slayer. Or he’s pregnant. But more likely a slayer
4:11 I am one of those people. I want a whole tour of her kitchen, cabinets, drawers, fridge, and freezers. But knowing what mine look like with only 4 people (who actually live here) I would assume not everything is as “neat” as the counters in the videos with all the kids! But still!!
Can I use traditional sandwich bags to freeze in 1 cup portions?
Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 from Nova Scotia. I chuckled at your freezer story. It’s just me and my husband and I have two freezers + the fridge freezer and another small freezer in the garage. 🤣
I had occular migraines when I worked at Walmart in their deli, and I thought boy, this is freaky and almost asked to go home. I thought the smoke from the fryer may have caused them. I haven't had one since I stopped working there.
I am so glad the scary symptoms were not as serious as anticipated. I never heard of an ocular migraine, but you have probably helped quite a few of us should we experience one. But, I have a question - in the US we don’t use real maple syrup for a lot of things, but definitely on top of waffles and pancakes. You use maple syrup in cooking, but not on your waffles and pancakes? I am seriously puzzled 🤔.
Very confusing to follow
We had the Chicken jalapeño bacon pasta last night for supper. A family favorite. YUMMMM! My husband doesn’t even like ranch dressing and he says I must make it again. We have found so many recipes we love and make over and over.
What fantastic tips you both gave us on planning and doing our own freezer meal days! Yes dismiss any people who may have unfavorable opinions about anything y’all have done about what y’all do because I’ve watched y’all for a long time . As a long time viewer of your channel y’all have Blessed us with great freezer meals to keep our sanity on those ,”I just can’t cook today (for whatever reason!) days “. So y’all are a Blessing to all of us and y’all are just so sweet and fun and truthful about any mistakes you make or if you accidentally mess up you say ,”do as I say not as I do and let us know about it “.. so I appreciate that y’all are human and like the rest of us you just have a laugh and move on! Y’all just continue being y’all and we’ll be here continuing to watch y’all and enjoying your channel! Blessings 💕
This is how I reduce the items in my pantry and freezer. Make freezer meals. I swap chorizo for Italian sausage always. We love the flavor of chorizo.
My favorite type of video thanks
Teatra pak isn't German it's Swedish or well now it's Swiss, but it was founded in Sweden. Erik Wallenberg was the original creator of tetra classic Wallenberg is a really wealthy family in Sweden and Ruben Rausing and Holger Crafoord were the founders of tetra company also two other really wealthy families in Sweden
Ah! Another viewer told us it was German. I've never actually looked it up for myself.
@@FreezerMeals101 If you ever had a Wallenbergare (a kind of beef paddy made from minced veal) its actually named from another member of the Wallenberg family. Another super famous person was Raoul Wallenberg he was probably killed after being captured during world war 2. But before that he saved a lot of children from concentration camps. So yeah the Wallenberg family is one of the most famous and riches family in Sweden because of teatra pak and other things. :P
Girly pop in the apron is adorable all around personality and all 😊
l am with you on the pantry, l have a fully stocked pantry, if something is on sale, you no l am going to get it by the case, l always have 4 cases of Campbell's soups, tomato, chicken noodle, veg, and mushroom. Stocks, canned veggies, canned fruit mostly pineapple, pastas, canned tomatoes, jarred sauces, Beans, PB, mays, coffee's, my canned goods too, etc.. and then there's my dehydrated stuff, 2 stand up freezers. I remember when my kids moved out, they would so to mom's grocery store. lol.. l have a spare bedroom as my pantry. Nothing wrong with having a good pantry, exspecially when winter comes and you don't want to go out for anything, The only things l really have to go out for is Milk, eggs, fresh fruit/veg. Plus make my own bread .
Here here! For a stocked pantry!
We call them tetra packs, from BC and Alberta. The recycling depot also calls them tetra packs. You are not alone, Ladies.
Yeah!
Love this wingin' it style of cooking. Very real life!
Marina, I don't mean to correct you, but did you mean carrara marble when you said caraboo
Oh probably!
Ok so San Marzano tomatoes are a variety of Roma/ plum tomatoes they pretty magical for making sauce. The "fancy" kind is DOP (official product of Italy) and they are grown in volcanic soil which makes a whole world of difference! I grow San Marzanos and while they're pretty great, they aren't a patch on the ones grown in volcanic soil.
Thank you! I knew someone would know!
Love your recipes and appreciate your process. But, I am allergic to all onions- cooked, raw, onion soup mix, dried, etc. Don’t like peppers of any color (especially green) so just leave these ingredients out.
Yep just leave them out. Sharla is allergic to celery and it's probably in almost as much stuff as onion! It makes it hard to eat in a restaurant but at least you can tailor things to your own needs when making freezer meals
My favourite things to make with canned tuna are tuna spaghetti (with tomatoes garlic olives and capers) and tuna pizzas ( with onions, olives and peppers). All shelf stable pantry ingredients except for onions garlic and peppers…( I forgot about the cheese for the pizza ! Not from the pantry!)
Super interesting! And yes, very pantry-friendly!
Great video! The painting behind you is so beautiful.
Thank you. My mom painted it and I love it too so I moved it there temporarily so I could show it to you all. I’ll pass your compliment along to her.
Beautiful ❤😂
San Marzano tomatoes have less juice and seeds which is what makes them better for making sauces and pastes.. I have had a pre-cancerous growth removed from my breast just before CV and I was supposed ro get on-going treatment with an oncologist which could not happen due to the world shutting down.
Yikes that's scary! And crummy timing. Glad you're doing all right now 💖
@@FreezerMeals101 i hope so, havent been back honestly. i just keep pushing on-you ladies are super hdelpful at helping me do that!
RHPS is an absolute blast. It shows at a local theater around Halloween in my town. I love the audience participation parts. Hope you have a blast with the girls! 👄
It was crazy fun. They had no idea what we were getting into!! 💋💋💋
San Marzano tomatoes are just a variety of paste tomatoes, like Roma or Amish paste. They're a popular variety for canning and sauce making.
Thanks!
Christie- I was born in the 60’s and am familiar the with audience involved Rocky Horror Picture Show. Have So Much Fun! Throwing toast!! 🍞
It was so fun! We had a total blast!
lol- I shop my freezers, fridges, numerous pantry buckets, storage bins, home-canned items to do this regularly. I keep an intensive inventory of all food items right down to spices so for me, this is a snap.
Awesome! You sound super organized!
My husband also eats onions like apples. And when ordering a burger out, he asks for extra EXTRA onions 👀
😬 lol
omg I love you guys for this! because i also have a pantry that i can pull out 30 freezer meals it's why i have been asking for it in the facebook group so much lol. oh Sharla can we get a pantry tour at some point????
A pantry tour! Maybe!
What a great video! I love the weekend stories. OMG! You ate trees. FUNNY!! I want to learn to forge in my area and what is good to eat but MAN, that's too much tree. :)
🤣🤣 apparently don't start with pine...
Oh, man, I just donated a mini muffin tin as I switched to silicone. Darn, could have shipped to you.
Shucks. That's life! Lol
Hi Ladies! Thanks for all you do. Where do I find the recipes for all the recipes that renting the club? Thanks!
Hi! You can find out recipes at www.freezermeals101.com
So sorry for you losses. I love watching both of you, together and solo. Can't wait for the classes!!!
Thank you!
What a great idea, I need to get back to post on channel you guys are amazing
Sharla, if you don't mind me asking, what with all of your somewhat unusual food allergies, has anyone ever attempted to "prove" that you were lying by sneaking one of those foods into your meal? I only ask because it's happened to me and I live in the same little corner of the world as you two.
No, but Christie accidentally gave me food with celery seed in it and we were certainly able to know that the allergy still stands! We joke that she accidentally poisoned me. I’m sorry to hear that that’s happened to you though. Totally unacceptable.
@@FreezerMeals101 I had a group of old ladies decide to prove that I was faking my life threatening latex allergy on my first day of a new job. Fortunately, it was in a hospital so I got to the ER quickly
That’s unthinkable! I’m so sorry. Thankfully you were able to get medical help quickly. How awful!
Have you thought about combining your freezer meals with an air fryer. I luv the texture it gives to meatballs and then added back to the sauce
We have air fryer cooking instructions for quite a few of our recipes. I (Christie) use mine for more boring things. I hadn't thought about meatballs. I like that idea!
Thank you ❤
YAY The Dynamic Duo is back! I love Fried Rice! With Pineapple? Yes, Please! I could eat Sweet and Sour for days! Yummy! Great idea to do an Asian Inspired line up! I'm here for it! Great way to load up the Family with Veggies too! Perfect for individual lunches. Or easy to customize each person's Fav. Add Egg Rolls and Wontons and open up a shop! Ha! Love to you both. Please take care of each other. Peace.
Omg, I needed this. I love Chinese food but we try not to order out as often, and I had no idea how to make it at home. Thank you so much for the video, I will definitely be enjoying these soon!
You're welcome!
Being from Philly I can’t imagine Cheesesteaks being prepared at home and frozen. I think I saw frozen ones being sold, along with chicken cheesesteaks, on QVC at some point in time. I think I would do the classic first. The onions and peppers are cooked on the side in if at home so it absorbs the flavor of the steak. If you have a real wet sauce, I forget what you said, well that sounds like Au Jus. If you do peppers and onions they should be on bottom or top of roll and not all mixed in, makes a difference trust me. You’re making me want to research and see how to make and freeze. Not sure why cause I can get the real deal anytime. Or you can come to Philly to do the research 😂😂😂. Happy to show you the best places for Cheesesteaks. You know, thinking on it, you could do the cheesesteak with the Italian gravy (red sauce) and provolone. Love that for a change up and I love cheesesteak hoagies. We now have Cheesesteak egg rolls. Not bad but I like my Italian cheesesteak. The Italians brought lots of foods to Philly. We have better than NY, in my opinion.
We need to come see you! For research purposes! Yeah... Research!
Okay so I am deathly allergic to Pineapple but that pineapple fried rice sounds and looks good. I love the videos thank you from West Virginia.
Yep, then skip the pineapple! We have a regular chicken fried rice too!
Have some in my freezer. Would rather have homemade Chinese food than restaurant quality any day.
World Peas 🫛 😂 laughed too hard at that 😂
My family has pork, mushroom, and soy allergies. I can sub coconut aminos for the soy sauce, omit the mushrooms, but what do I sub for the pork? Chicken or beef? and which one would give us the taste closest to the pork?
Try veal
When I read their recipe, below it there are tips. One of the tips was to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs instead of pork. :)
I would say chicken would be fine. Those are a lot of allergies to dodge! It sounds like you have a good handle on adapting re recipes!
with the meals that need a jar of sauce, could I just put the meat and seasonings and whatever cut up fresh vegetables in the freezer and add the jar of sauce on the day of cooking? I have a small freezer.
Yes, you probably could do that to save space, unless it's needed as a marinade. But then, you could still add it as it's thawing and allow it to marinate. There's no "right way" for many of our recipes.
My 16 year old is about to be a happy girl! ❤
Now you are speaking my language! Some of my favorites! Yes these will be in my freezer
Excellent!
