  • Hey y'all! So sorry for the loud fan. It was hotter than the devil's front porch here so I had to have that fan running. I would have melted without it lol

    Your channel is my absolute favorite!! Love your family and meals. Great ideas to save money and still have a good meal.Donit change a thing. I love how you said in one of your previous videos that you are not a prepare. You are a "just in case". So many others make you feel so scared. I love your outlook. When we were raising our 3 kids, we were living paycheck to paycheck. So I know! Happy birthday to Breydon!

    @astone3871 2 года назад +18

    I’ve seen this using home canned things as well. (Rose red homestead) They put the ingredients in a paper bag on their storage shelves and on a hard day- late from work, heavy work load, the cook is sick, etc, they grab a bag and dinner is ready in a few minutes. They make two or three of each easy meal and reuse the bags for the same meal. For the dry beans to make the meal quicker, she precooks them and then dehydrates them, depending on how they were originally cooked they can look almost normal or be almost crumbled and would be more like refried beans when rehydrated.
    I haven’t made any of these, but need to make a few to make dinner easier for days I just don’t have the energy to decide/pull together a home cooked meal.

    This is a great idea! I love just the convenience of already having a meal and not having to think😆. I also feel like a few of these could be used for our hurricane kit. While we may not have power, some of these could be done on a grill (fire). Thankfully we do have a generator in a pinch. I will have to look in my pantry and put together 4 or 5 meals for our kit. Thanks for sharing this and making me think difference than just have stuff.

  • @Unapologetticaly.cortney

    @patriciacorpe6228 2 года назад +2

    what a easy and good idea. This shows me no matter how old I am I can learn something new. I have always stock up but this idea is a really good one. I use to live in northern Michigan and ths winters can get you in can't leave home. We ove this May downstate near our kids because were getting on in years and can not do a lot of the yard work, cutting wod for heat and shovling snow. Niw we live in a condo where we don;t have those worries any more.

  • @traceyzvirblis4909
    @traceyzvirblis4909 2 года назад +2

    Brooke, these ideas are such a wonderful blessing for families. If anyone was worried about needing to add a vegetable, they could add a can of potatoes, beans, mixed vegetables, carrots or corn to the bag or a packet of dehydrated vegetables, if their grocery store carry’s them. The meals all look delicious & very satisfying. A quick reminder is to store a can opener in the storage tout too, just in case you can’t find your usual one in an emergency. Happy birthday to your sweet boy who obviously loves his Mumma so much 🥳🥰

Most can be heated up with crisco candles that have been premade in small mason jars with birthday candles as the wick, packed in a tote with a can opener, matches and fireplace lighters. Do not use the crisco in the original containers - they are no longer made of metal.
