You can see your husband calculating how many times he can request the ribs “was it easy for you?” And do your freezer clean out both ways - combining eating all the things out of it (ingredients vs meals)
She can take all the money she would have spent on food and use it to buy supplies, if she feels so inclined. I used to live in Northern California. The repeated PG&E power shutoffs last year due to "wind conditions" taught us quickly that you can't always rely on your freezer in case of emergency. We still use our chest freezer but we have a plan now for everything in it in case of power loss. That whole experience made me a bit paranoid. lol
You should be featured on NBC morning show...you are so fun to watch, you have such a great personality . Your videos are top quality and I always look forward to your next one!!!
Inter-mix the freezer meals with ones you are making from the meats in the freezer. Just include all the recipes. I was just thinking that if you do all premade meals, it will not be a very long video. Love this one!!
I would do the freezer clean out from scratch but if you have volleyball tournaments all the craziness going on in the evening grab one of your pre done freezer meals as needed
I just got a bunch of bread on clearance for a 1.00 a piece thanks to you.. I love your channel and your personality is what sets you apart from others..keep it up..give her thumbs up guys..
I love how you keep it real....."I'm gonna use the freezer burnt chicken for that meal"...love it! I vote one thing at a time, stick to basement freezer clean out.
Great video! Continue to make meals out of your freezers and use your already made freezer meals as fill-ins on busy nights or if you have a day that you just don’t want to cook! I usually always go from hardest to easiest and save my easiest for “those kind of days” when everything is crazy!
We will be moving later this year so I’m doing the same thing. I am giving us a $10 budget for a week to go with all of my stockpile. It’s just 2 of us and we are not picky eaters. It’s odd but I find cooking from what you have so much fun.
I truly do admire you. I'm a single mother my two old children are all ready grown on there own I truly need some prayer for them but my youngest is 12 yrs old and lives with me. I am doing what you do but I don't have an extra freezer for me and my daughter and other two children and my little granddaughter. I really am enjoying what I am doing. I tell you it not easy being a mother and a grandmother at the age of 44 yrs old I always cook extra because I never know when my others might stop by. but yeah I hope you get to read this because you are such a great example to the women out there the single and married ones even single fathers and married ones too. God bless you, and I have so much love for you and your family. sincerely Rebecca Smith
I think it would be so cool to see you try your hand at growing veggies and herbs this summer. Even just regrowing things from scraps, those potatoes could have tripled themselves for you after a few months!
@@FrugalFitMom Whoopsie, my bad! I'm a new viewer so I haven't gone that far back in your videos 😅 I love seeing folks be conscientious and creative with their food, so you've got my millennial respect!
Don’t know how I stumbled across one of your videos but I’m hooked! Y’all are so entertaining and I got so many new ideas now. Your daughter definitely got your personality and is equally great to watch. Anyways just wanted to give you some well deserved praise. 💕
I really love watching your channel. It gives me confidence that I can eat well while still on a budget when I move out of my parents house and get my own place. I won't starve! Keep up the awesome job!😍 I vote for the freezer meals
I’m kicking off with a no spend challenge which will include a freezer and party challenge. Love this video as it has a large variety of recipes that aren’t overly complicated.
You remind me of my mom and it makes me happy! Also you've made me want to cook more and pay more attention to what I spend on groceries, which I (and my boyfriend) deeply appreciate!
Christine, I love watching your food videos, sheet pan dinners, freezer dinners. I just ordered an air fryer, it'll be in my kitchen in a few days. The veg you were doing in the air fryer (from 4:35) I would stirred together olive oil, roughly ground black pepper ("de people love de ground pepper", LOL), lemon juice, thyme or rosemary, garlic powder, and salt. Mix, and drizzle over the veg. Works on sheet pan dinners, too. But what am I saying here to a seasoned whirlwind in the kitchen, like you.
I agree with those who say eat meals from the chest freezer and use the prepared freezer meals for crazy busy nights! Love your channel... Wish I'd found it sooner!!!
I love that he asked if it was easy for you. Actually really sweet to consider YOUR workload. I say do both, cook meals and freezer meals. Pick nights that are busier for the freezer meals and ones where you have a bit more time for from scratch. I get a bit tired of freezer meals day after day!
My hubby turned it on RUclips for me and said look honey it is your friend. I said I wish we lived closer to you because I would totally shop with her lol. Love you from Kentucky!
Maybe both? Freezer meal and new dinners. I love the whole cleanout meals. It is so nice when you tell us where it came from (deep freezer, inside freezer, pantry..)!!😍 you are entertaining to watch and love how your family respects your time that you made the dinner!
Hi there! Goodness you are really a rockstar! I have been binge watching all of your videos. You are super handy and take such good care of your family. Just the way you make them food and prepare things is great. I have learned so many things from you in such a short amount of time since I’ve subscribed to you. I’m a SAHM and I love to homemake and you have taught me so many things with recipes. Keep them coming.
I vote for making new meals! You could throw in a freezer meal or 2 if you're having a busy day, but I love getting ideas from odds and ends thrown together!
Oooh, that reminds me I must do a bluberry crisp (or ”crumble pie” as we call it here in Sweden) tomorrow. I got the BEST receipt for the crumble part. You get these chewy crispy lumps of sugary oat goodness on top, instead of that ”dust”. 😋
Do both, any way that works best for you. Love your stuff, and the energy you project....makes me face my daily chores with that element of fun you display. Thank you!
I love your Rada peeler! My mom has had a knife set with the peeler and sharpener for YEARS, seriously, since before I was born 21 years ago. They’re wonderful if you take care of them!
Make it a bit easier on yourself and do a week of freezer meals...and then do the week 2 of the freezer cleanout challenge. I just love to watch the things you come up with. I always come away with ideas for here at home.
Beautiful family!!! Would love to see them included in family meals more. Your husband is very nice. You always look amazing 😉 your sooo much fun and fun to watch. Love ya girl!!
Can I just say how grateful I am for your channel. I have been learning so much, at a time where we really need to stick to our budget. Shopping manager sales, building up my pantry/freezer, etc has become so fun that I actually enjoy cooking now (we used to eat out way to much lol). Can’t wait for the next one.
Lol. Your Bacon Cheeseburger meatloaf video showed up in my recommendations a few days ago and I had already decided to make it this weekend. Quite the coincidence!
6 substitutes for soy sauce: Tamari. *If no soy allergy sodium issues. It is supposed to be the closest in taste to regular soy sauce. Worcestershire sauce Coconut aminos. Liquid aminos. Dried mushrooms. Fish sauce.
Christine you make me laugh and smile so much. Thank you. I have a small apartment freezer that I always complain about being too small. Wrong! I decided to do a freezer inventory (YOUR FAULT COMPLETELY) and my word but I have a lot tucked in there. Besides tons of frozen veggies (Cauli rice and florets, broccoli rice and florets, Brussels Sprouts and green beans), more meat than I even knew was possible (beef broken into 1/2 lb and 1 lb ziplocks -at least 7 lbs total, 5 pork chops, 2 pork loin roasts approx 1.5 lb each, small London broil approx 1lb, 6 chix breasts, 2 - 1/2 pks country sausage, 5 links raw mild ital sausg and 2 cooked links, several pounds bacon, and 2 pkgs raw large shrimp). Whew! And of course butter, cheeses, and chopped opinions and green peppers. Holy Moley. With the exception of some fresh produce and occasional dairy , I need nothing. Well, I do need something-to quit shopping!
I also cleaned out my freezer and pantry between January and February. I saved so much money just eating what I already had. I did a combination of using ingredients to pull together meals and using already pre-made meals, especially on busy nights. Not sure how to share a picture in the comments but I completely thawed my deep-freeze. Now I am rebuilding my own homemade freezer meals, staples, and stockpile of sale items.
Both sound good but I really like this kind of video where you pull from what you have from your freezer , fridge and pantry. Btw, your husband was so sweet, asking ng if it was easy for you to make or not. You two are so great together!👍🍽
Front row WalMart parking? Wow - charmed life that day. Waiting until the coronavirus hits our town for grocery pick up. Good name for them "Hades." Hoping Andrew's mouth feels better soon. How about a combo of freezer meals and clean the freezer out meals. Have a great week.
When you posted this video, I had just finished making french toast made from cinnamon raisin bread🤯 I had gotten the idea from you! (It was really good by the way😁) Also, I vote a combo of old freezer meals & new ones because you might need to save some of the already made meals for days when you're really busy 😊
Pulling from both freezers would be nice. That way we can still see you throw things together from the big freezer, but get the satisfaction of watching your smaller freezer clear out.
GASP! A lot of my favorite clothes are from Stitch Fix. Actually, I applied to be an influencer for them and didn't hear back. Can you give me the inside scoop?
I'd love another week like this for week 2 & then week 3 a freezer meal week 💯 I LOVE your channel, I have cut down my spending so much, got apps to claim money back & now I'm about to have my dream wedding without the fear of not affording it.

I love how your hubby asked if the short ribs was difficult to make before he said yeah make it again.
Missy Taulbee I was just coming to say this in my comment! It was super sweet!-Lindsay McBride
Yeah that was super sweet!
I thought the same thing they are a great family!
😅😅😅 smart man
Dave is a good hubby
You can see your husband calculating how many times he can request the ribs “was it easy for you?”
And do your freezer clean out both ways - combining eating all the things out of it (ingredients vs meals)
I no, i found that so sweet
I thought that was so sweet. He really liked it, but he doesn't want to overburden her. Hubby points.
Right?? I thought it was so sweet of him to ask 😭
Dave is so sweet to her always
I came here to say that.
I just want to compliment your children on the burger review. The “it’s not what I expected” review was so graceful. Well done Mom and all the kids.
I don't care what you make as long as you keep making RUclips Video's . Each and everyone makes my heart smile! Thanks
Everyone Else: runs out and stocks up in fear of Coronavirus.
Christine: Let's empty out my feezer!
I like to live dangerously...
Haha no kidding! I was kinda thinking the same thing!
😂
Frugal Fit Mom we are doing a freezer challenge this month too... but not really a “pantry” challenge... we live dangerously too! Great video!
She can take all the money she would have spent on food and use it to buy supplies, if she feels so inclined. I used to live in Northern California. The repeated PG&E power shutoffs last year due to "wind conditions" taught us quickly that you can't always rely on your freezer in case of emergency. We still use our chest freezer but we have a plan now for everything in it in case of power loss. That whole experience made me a bit paranoid. lol
I'm so pleased to hear someone as salty as I am about Walmart. Emptying out our freezer this month as well.
I hate it too 😂😤
Haha. Sorry, I know this is so old, but when she called it “Hades,” it made me laugh. I call it “Hellmart.” And that was even BEFORE covid!
You should be featured on NBC morning show...you are so fun to watch, you have such a great personality . Your videos are top quality and I always look forward to your next one!!!
Thank you for being you on the internet not someone you think you should be. Such a great thing to see!
It warmed my heart when your hubby asked: "Is it easy for you?" Sooo sweet.
I feel like "clearance naan" should be on a tshirt. Yes, feelin' it! 😂😜
Inter-mix the freezer meals with ones you are making from the meats in the freezer. Just include all the recipes. I was just thinking that if you do all premade meals, it will not be a very long video.
Love this one!!
I agree with this thought...a little cooking and a few already made meals!
I agree. maybe 2-3 of pre-made and the rest the way week 1 was done
Yeah, that would give us more variety and make it interesting.
I wanted to see the ham and potato casserole after it was cooked. ALL of the dishes once they are cooked please. 😊🌻💙🌻
I'd like to see them too!
I vote for a full week of freezer burnt meals. And naan.
If someone is so ready with food with all this craziness coronavirus is YOU. I wish you were my neighbor lol. Great video
I watched this twice to get the name of the rice. Royal is the brand and Spicy Korean is the flavor.
I'm here at Hades! LOL!! We call it "The Evil Empire" 😆
I would do the freezer clean out from scratch but if you have volleyball tournaments all the craziness going on in the evening grab one of your pre done freezer meals as needed
I just got a bunch of bread on clearance for a 1.00 a piece thanks to you.. I love your channel and your personality is what sets you apart from others..keep it up..give her thumbs up guys..
Eat freezer meals. I would love to see how they look after being frozen and 'recooked'
I love how you keep it real....."I'm gonna use the freezer burnt chicken for that meal"...love it! I vote one thing at a time, stick to basement freezer clean out.
Great video! Continue to make meals out of your freezers and use your already made freezer meals as fill-ins on busy nights or if you have a day that you just don’t want to cook! I usually always go from hardest to easiest and save my easiest for “those kind of days” when everything is crazy!

I vote eat some frozen meals but not all week for sanity purposes
I truly do admire you. I'm a single mother my two old children are all ready grown on there own I truly need some prayer for them but my youngest is 12 yrs old and lives with me.

I think it would be so cool to see you try your hand at growing veggies and herbs this summer. Even just regrowing things from scraps, those potatoes could have tripled themselves for you after a few months!
I do that every summer. ;)
However, because of my climate, I can't plant until June 1, and I won't see any harvest until well into July. :(
@@FrugalFitMom Whoopsie, my bad! I'm a new viewer so I haven't gone that far back in your videos 😅 I love seeing folks be conscientious and creative with their food, so you've got my millennial respect!
Yeah...I got one ham in my pocket. 😂I couldn't resist!
Well done!
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
😂😂😂
This made my day
Comment award goes to you xoxo
I’d like to see a combo of both. The freezer meals can give you a break from cooking something new.
i vote to clean out the freezer!!
I just want to say I LOVE your channel so much! I don't have kids or a husband but your meals still inspire me hahahaha
I think you should do a bit of both... freezer meals and clean out meals. Loved the video
I'm just amazed at your skill set at frugal living and saving money. You're a godsend!
Don’t know how I stumbled across one of your videos but I’m hooked! Y’all are so entertaining and I got so many new ideas now. Your daughter definitely got your personality and is equally great to watch. Anyways just wanted to give you some well deserved praise. 💕

I’m kicking off with a no spend challenge which will include a freezer and party challenge. Love this video as it has a large variety of recipes that aren’t overly complicated.
So adorbs hearing Dave wax on about how delish your short ribs turned out, too cute. Clearly, you're a keeper! ;)
You remind me of my mom and it makes me happy! Also you've made me want to cook more and pay more attention to what I spend on groceries, which I (and my boyfriend) deeply appreciate!

I love that you did this. What a great way to empty out your freezer can’t wait to see what next week has.
I agree with those who say eat meals from the chest freezer and use the prepared freezer meals for crazy busy nights! Love your channel... Wish I'd found it sooner!!!
Eat up those freezer meals. Will clear some prime real estate in your kitchen fridge. I love a good clear the freezer challenge series
I always save my left over Chinese soy sauce packets and when I'm low on soy I squeeze like 8 of those packets and it makes half a cup lol
I LOVE seeing this!!! You were raised right!!
I love that he asked if it was easy for you. Actually really sweet to consider YOUR workload.
I say do both, cook meals and freezer meals. Pick nights that are busier for the freezer meals and ones where you have a bit more time for from scratch. I get a bit tired of freezer meals day after day!
My hubby turned it on RUclips for me and said look honey it is your friend. I said I wish we lived closer to you because I would totally shop with her lol. Love you from Kentucky!
Make meals! Love watching this series.
Your youngest son is so adorable! He always loves moms cooking
Maybe both? Freezer meal and new dinners. I love the whole cleanout meals. It is so nice when you tell us where it came from (deep freezer, inside freezer, pantry..)!!😍 you are entertaining to watch and love how your family respects your time that you made the dinner!

Yay! Thank you for all the motivation you're giving us!
Do a combination of both....on busy nights cook the prepared food.
During family night...Cook up a storm🍲
Leave the freezer meals for a busy week in your schedule. Love the freezer clean out.
I’m so happy I found your Channel. I love how authentic you are, and I love your family!! Job well done Christine! 👏
Oooh, that reminds me I must do a bluberry crisp (or ”crumble pie” as we call it here in Sweden) tomorrow. I got the BEST receipt for the crumble part. You get these chewy crispy lumps of sugary oat goodness on top, instead of that ”dust”. 😋
Definitely both. Make from the freezer on regular days and pull the ready meals on busy days.
I like how you're coming up with new ideas with these freezer products. Its giving me ideas and I like the creativity!
Do both, any way that works best for you. Love your stuff, and the energy you project....makes me face my daily chores with that element of fun you display. Thank you!
I would say eat the freezer meals first and then the following week do like you did in this video. Love watching them.
Definitely start that series!!! Those books are soooooooo good! I own them all!
I love your Rada peeler! My mom has had a knife set with the peeler and sharpener for YEARS, seriously, since before I was born 21 years ago. They’re wonderful if you take care of them!
save the freezer meals for busy nights. Love how your husband asked if it was easy for you before he said it was good. So sweet!
OMG, your husband has very strong genes. All your children are his mini me's!! Beautiful family.
The scooping muffin batter into the muffin pans sped up was very satisfying to watch! Haha
I love watching these videos while
Cooking or cleaning!!! Look forward to new ones
Woman! Take a week off and go with those already prepared freezer meals!!! You are worth it!
Make it a bit easier on yourself and do a week of freezer meals...and then do the week 2 of the freezer cleanout challenge. I just love to watch the things you come up with. I always come away with ideas for here at home.
I like the freezer clean out. Gets me motivated to do my own. We will see what treasures we find!!
Beautiful family!!! Would love to see them included in family meals more. Your husband is very nice. You always look amazing 😉 your sooo much fun and fun to watch. Love ya girl!!
Awe, so sweet, he asked if it was easy for you lol. Shows his appreciation. My husband loves it when I cook any ribs, I can’t go wrong. 🤦🏻♀️😅
I prefer when you make new meals, but hey! You gotta do what you gotta do :)
Yes, love this idea! Don't want to have any food go to waste - good thinking!
Combination of both! I have had my Radar peeler for 15 years, still sharp. The only veggie peeler I own.
It's seriously amazing!
I only use rada peelers and knives
I have several knives, icing spreader, and small spatula. Love the quality of them.
Give the freezer meals away and bless another family! One of the greatest gifts a mom can get: dinner DONE!
awe the kids and Dave look like him. Your family is so cool when ever I Experiment on my family they don't eat it
Can I just say how grateful I am for your channel. I have been learning so much, at a time where we really need to stick to our budget. Shopping manager sales, building up my pantry/freezer, etc has become so fun that I actually enjoy cooking now (we used to eat out way to much lol). Can’t wait for the next one.
You are so good at this!! Your family is so cute and appreciative : )
Combination of both! I like seeing your recipes especially the new ones. "Freezer burnt chicken" 😂
I like the freezer empty before the freezer meals eaten. Love your videos. Really enjoying this channel. Cindy Roth aka Springsteadgal.
Lol. Your Bacon Cheeseburger meatloaf video showed up in my recommendations a few days ago and I had already decided to make it this weekend. Quite the coincidence!
6 substitutes for soy sauce:
Tamari. *If no soy allergy sodium issues. It is supposed to be the closest in taste to regular soy sauce.
Worcestershire sauce
Coconut aminos.
Liquid aminos.
Dried mushrooms.
Fish sauce.
Christine you make me laugh and smile so much. Thank you. I have a small apartment freezer that I always complain about being too small. Wrong! I decided to do a freezer inventory (YOUR FAULT COMPLETELY) and my word but I have a lot tucked in there. Besides tons of frozen veggies (Cauli rice and florets, broccoli rice and florets, Brussels Sprouts and green beans), more meat than I even knew was possible (beef broken into 1/2 lb and 1 lb ziplocks -at least 7 lbs total, 5 pork chops, 2 pork loin roasts approx 1.5 lb each, small London broil approx 1lb, 6 chix breasts, 2 - 1/2 pks country sausage, 5 links raw mild ital sausg and 2 cooked links, several pounds bacon, and 2 pkgs raw large shrimp). Whew! And of course butter, cheeses, and chopped opinions and green peppers. Holy Moley. With the exception of some fresh produce and occasional dairy , I need nothing. Well, I do need something-to quit shopping!
I call Wally World, Stuff Mart! I love your channel! 🤗😎🌹❤️
LOVE THIS SERIES! Would love to continue seeing more freezer meals, longer videos, and updates on your freezer (super satisfying)!
You are sensational
Like unstoppable force of mom/wife nature.
You inspire me xo
Been binge watching your vids for the past week :)
You & Your clearence Naann......Killed me all the time !
I also cleaned out my freezer and pantry between January and February. I saved so much money just eating what I already had. I did a combination of using ingredients to pull together meals and using already pre-made meals, especially on busy nights. Not sure how to share a picture in the comments but I completely thawed my deep-freeze. Now I am rebuilding my own homemade freezer meals, staples, and stockpile of sale items.
Both sound good but I really like this kind of video where you pull from what you have from your freezer , fridge and pantry. Btw, your husband was so sweet, asking ng if it was easy for you to make or not. You two are so great together!👍🍽
My vote is to continue with the freezer clean out and cooking.
I need to do this!! I wish life would slow down a little so I could take tile to inventory and use.
Nicole Angeles I just got 30 days off (with pay) due to the virus, be careful what you wish for 😆
Front row WalMart parking? Wow - charmed life that day. Waiting until the coronavirus hits our town for grocery pick up. Good name for them "Hades." Hoping Andrew's mouth feels better soon. How about a combo of freezer meals and clean the freezer out meals. Have a great week.
I like the freezer clean out meals, but a combo of both is good too. You do you and we’ll all still watch. I just wish I had 1/4 of your energy. Lol!
How sweet he asked if it was easy for you to make!
Just do wat makes you happy girl. Do you.
When you posted this video, I had just finished making french toast made from cinnamon raisin bread🤯 I had gotten the idea from you! (It was really good by the way😁) Also, I vote a combo of old freezer meals & new ones because you might need to save some of the already made meals for days when you're really busy 😊

Am literally watching this while I work as a Stitch Fix stylist haha
GASP! A lot of my favorite clothes are from Stitch Fix. Actually, I applied to be an influencer for them and didn't hear back. Can you give me the inside scoop?
@@FrugalFitMom I know, they have some of my favourite pieces! I dunno what to scoop haha, but hey I love your channel as much as you love my job
I'd love another week like this for week 2 & then week 3 a freezer meal week 💯 I LOVE your channel, I have cut down my spending so much, got apps to claim money back & now I'm about to have my dream wedding without the fear of not affording it.
I have also been doing a freezer clean out. I have had to get creative with chicken. I made a chicken/spinach lasagna and the kids loved it.
OMG I made your meatloaf for supper and the family raved on and on about it.... thanks
