I'd Rather Be Gardening So I'm Making Freezer Meals To Make My Life Easier During Gardening Season!

Great video! A little tip for you to consider next time, if you prepare some extra sauce, you can assemble the lasagnas without cooking the noodles (yes, even with traditional lasagna noodles). My mom has done this since I was little and I do it now. Just make your lasagnas a little extra saucy, and that will be enough to soften and cook the noodles when you pop them in the oven! It's a huge time-saver on a meal prep day.

a tip i’ve learned: if your house is cold use a seed warming mat for your bread to proof!

Bre, this is absolutely genius and couldn't have been posted at a better time! Every year I struggle to get good meals made during planting and canning season, and resort to either not taking care of myself or eating junk. There are some rainy days in the forecast so I'm going to be prepping some of these recipes. Thank you!

I LOVE Preppy Kitchen! Watch him all the time. I like the English Muffin recipe you used. Plan to give it a try. Also… your hamburger buns look fabulous!

this is so smart! i’m planning to start a garden outside of my apartment when I move out so this is very inspiring!

I cook about 5-10lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breast in a large crock pot covered in water for roughly 3-5 hours on high....or they can simmer on low for the day or night. I also strain and use the broth, but I use "bear claws" 🤣....literally looks like a set of claws to finely shred the cooked chicken.....sooooo easy to do. My son bought the "claws" for me as a gift. I honestly thought I'd never use them, but I absolutely LOVE them. I freeze any chicken broth that I don't need within a few days, and I freeze shredded portions of the chicken for future meals including soups.

Im outside all the time wotking on projects, flower beds and gardening and i do the freezer mesls and prep stuff on the weekends for the weeks ahead..After being outside im tired and exhausted and last thing i want to do is cook a meal..

You have so much energy! Great idea preparing meals ahead of time. I no longer buy shredded cheese - since I found out about the things that are added for shelf stability. Sawdust to prevent caking and an antibiotic. It’s these types of things that drive me to grow my own food.

Wow, that was wonderful lots of pleasurable work😊

Home canned chicken broth is AMAZING! I need to make more😭 You should try canning bbq chicken! It makes great, and super easy shredded chicken sandwichs! It pretty much becomes a heat and eat meal! No thawing or waiting for the slow cooker. It might not taste as good as slow cooker bbq chicken, but it's super convenient for a quick dinner!

I sure hope you are okay and safe out there. I’m in South Carolina and the weather this past week has been so dangerous and it came through your path as well first. Stay safe. You’re the best ❤

I would love to see your enchilada recipe! I love how organized you are and now im hungry after watching you cook!

You can just add the molasses right to the mixer bowl, no need to dirty an extra bowl to premix with the sugar, let your mixer do the work.

I needed this inspo -- I have been in the garden for ~6 hours the last three days getting my peppers, bush beans, pole beans potatoes, squashes and pumpkins in the ground; I'm in zone 9/10 in Oakland Ca and things are popping! I saw my first teensy little tomato day before yesterday. Love garden season! Definitely need to prep meals bc actually eating is the last thing on my mind, haha.

I love ur videos sooo much. One thing u might wanna consider. When my mother makes homemade potpie she slices a boil eggs and places them on a layer on top of the filling before the pie top. It is sooooo good!

Tangzhong is pronounced like you’re saying tong with a long a, and jong for Zhong, Zhong Is hard to say if you haven’t heard it before, it really sounds like Zjhong but I can’t really explain that sound in English. Anyway, these recipes I really loved, I haven’t been baking at home lately because I lost the energy and will power in my last few months of pregnancy but I can’t wait to start again in August.

love your style!

I made them right after your video and they were delicious. Going to make them this week to take to my aunt in Vancouver, B.C.

Love it!

I love freezer meals! I'm in law school and they are absolutely lifesaving!
