Love your videos! FYI: I learned this tip when freezing bread and it has been a game changer. Place a paper towel in the bag with the bread, buns, etc. and when you thaw it, keep the paper towel in with it as it thaws. No more hard, stale or soggy bread.😊
For sure! My mom use to do that too!
Thanks for sharing!
So many great tips!
It always surprises me that people don’t know about freezing dairy. Cream cheese doesn’t look the best, but is great in recipes. Or, if you do want to serve it with bagels, etc, you can let it defrost and soften, then whip it with an electric mixer. You can even turn it from 🥺 to 😍 by making “fancy” flavored whipped cream cheese. Add finely minced green onion and chives, honey and chopped walnuts, strawberry jam or chopped strawberries, or cinnamon with maple syrup. The possibilities are endless.

Cheese too! Slices, shreds, it’s all freezable.
@@Chgomom
Yes! I buy big bags of shredded cheese and break them down into manageable 1 lb bags and freeze. Same with sliced cheese. I also have a grocery store nearby that puts their brand of shredded cheese (the usual 8 oz size) on sale for Buy 2, Get 3 Free periodically and it’s great cheese - I actually prefer it to some of the major brands - and I just put those straight into the freezer.
@@Chgomom Yes, cheese freezes great too!
I love doing the precooked ground beef frozen! I just cooked 10 lbs yesterday. I’m cooking Italian sausage today. It makes it so easy when I do larger freezer meal days. I make them for two, so they are easy to hand out to elderly neighbors and they have lunch for the next day.
That is awesome!
if you warm the tortillas first they're way easier to roll
When butter goes on sale like for .99 a lb I buy many and throw into our freezer, once or twice a year. Saves so much money!!!
Where do you live? I never see real butter for .99 a pound!
@@cynthiafisher9907The cheapest I've bought it in the last year has been $2.99 for a pound 😕
@@Kimmie_F I don’t know if I have found it that cheaply or not. It’s over $3.00 per pound at the moment and seems to be going up.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I just looked online at our local Kroger store here in Michigan. $3.79 per pound for Kroger butter not on sale. Challenge butter is on sale this week for 2 pounds for $7.00 😬 I am so happy that I freeze butter. I do a use 1, buy 1 and I have about 6 pounds in the freezer.
@@cynthiafisher9907 Sioux Falls SD. Hy-vee had 1 day special. Limit 1. I just ran it up as separate orders. At the self check out Usually butter goes on sale around the holidays. Butter most of the time is on sale 2 x s a year. I agree .99 was really cheap ! I just got lucky on that day.
Meatballs. Treat the same as cookies. I flash freeze them. And burgers.
Yes, flash freezing meatballs is great too!
Great ideas. Never knew you could freeze cottage cheese. Another thing to keep in freezer is half and half!
❤️ I put my pancakes in the toaster.
For spinach, I buy a plastic container of baby spinach and put it as is in the freezer, in the plastic container. It is great for smoothies. The spinach leaves don’t stick together at all.
Great idea!!
Great freezer tips..thanks
These are great ideas.
I love love love your freezer essentials. Also your freezer meals are “The Bomb”.!
This was so helpful!! I don't know why I didn't think of some of this before DUH Thanks again for sharing!!
Kristen I love this I’m always looking for ways to save time and leftovers
I love all of these ideas -- thanks!
Awesome 👏 thanks 🙏
Great tips!
You always deliver!! Thank you!
You are so welcome.
Thank you 😊 for sharing this video. It helps to save food.
Very helpful tips, thanks so much for sharing!
You are welcome.
Those are some great tips! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
This was one of the most useful videos I've seen in my quest for how to stock my freezer. My plan for today was to research if I can freeze things like cooked rice, fresh spinach, cream cheese, and sour cream and then BOOM! you had it all in one video! I've precooked my chicken and ground beef in the past and this was so helpful on those nights when I needed a fast meal so we could get out the door for whatever sports activities the kids had. And just like you, I would put them in the bags so they were flat. Not only do the bags take up less room but they thaw much faster. Thanks so much for all the helpful videos you do! I'm going to check out your freezer meals next.
That's so good to hear! There are so many things you can freeze! Thank you so much for watching Lisa!
How smart!!
Excellent ideas! Thanks Kristen. Going to freeze my spinach right now!
It's so nice to freeze it instead of throwing it away after it's gone bad!
Thank you for sharing kristen this is the best video ever, did not know that I could freeze dairy fabulous tip. Have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🦋🙏❤🦋
Thanks for the tips Kristen. 🙂❤️
You are very welcome!
Great video! Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thank you, these are great ideas. For years I have frozen butter, cream cheese, cooked ground beef and even grated cheese. My son actually taught me the breakfast burrito trick. There is just my husband and me but these are such time savers. Rice is next on my list!
Sounds great!
Thank you for sharing your recipe with us 💞
My pleasure 😊
Loved this video because it was a reminder for the things I used to do AND taught me new things (freezing the rice). I found it very useful. Thank You.
It's very helpful come dinner time on a busy night.
I learned so much!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions. I never thought about spinach or sour cream. Blessings.
Any time!
❤️ I love your videos! Thanks for creating them^^
No problem 😊
Thanks christine for this. This was very Informative. I'm a month. Of 7 and grama if 16. So this iui s very helpful to me. I have done a lot of this and some I haven't. It was helpful. Thank you. I love seeing pictures of all your sweet girls. So wonderful. God is So Good!! Blessings!!!!🥰
I really like all these ideas! Thanks! I like to warm up my frozen pancakes in the toaster. Very yummy.
Sounds great!
Thank you for all these great tips, you made me very happy! Love, GAIL
Glad it was helpful!
Great ideas ! Love your channel ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks again for all your freezing ideas will come in handy this summer for the kids I liked your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches frozen it reminded me of the pbandj sandwiches in the store but much cheaper you are awesome how are you and your family? My family is good update if you haven't heard my eldest who is almost 15 is in full remission from leukemia and rang the bell this year. We are excited as a family her port comes out soon after her long 2 and half year journey.She is strong and beautiful we are proud of her.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US. HAVE A NICE AND SAFE DAY MY FRIEND.
Thank you too
I definitely appreciate these tips... I would never have thought to freeze some of these things... Great ideas!! 👍😁👍😁👍🤗🤗🤗
You are so welcome!
Wonderful additions to my freeze options. I freeze dough, store bought bread, juice & other stuff. Thanks for the tips. Be well.
Great tip!
#Loving all of your freezer tips!
Miss Ruby 😃
Great video, very helpful, thanks!!!
You are welcome.
That was beautiful
This is a very helpful video! Thanks
You are so welcome.
I love watching your videos. A helpful tip I always do right before the holidays so I can get done faster. When freezing cookie dough I always put it on parchment paper on the trays so that it doesn’t stick like it did in a way on yours.
Yes, that works great too!
I have always just made a 2" log with my cookie dough. Wrap in Saran wrap and place into freezer bag. I slice 3/8-1/2" thick slices and bake as normal
Great tips! I agree that having shredded chicken and cookie dough on hand are musts!
Absolutely!!
Kristen - Thanks for these meal prep tips. I need all the help I can get to have stand-bys in the freezer. Otherwise all I do is cook! I have started a 5x8 note book by category of my favorite dishes and freezer tips. ~ Diane
Diane, that is wonderful!!! Thanks for stopping by! We love having you.
I really want a instant pot! I've seen so many cool things you can do in it!
I say go for it!
You can also freeze milk!! These are terrific ideas. Thank you!
Yes! Thank you!
I freeze leftover spinach to use in spinach dip too!
I loved every single tip
Yay!
Hi Kristin (I hope I spelled your name correctly, my apologies if not)
I have always frozen my butter, my mom does it and taught me that trick a long time ago. I stock up whenever I see it on sale but mostly I buy it at Costco. Love you and your tips!
Me too I alwsts gave severalmpoubds of butter in the freezer when .i see a great sake .u loadbup!
Smart mom!!! Yes, butter is a great one to freeze.
This is such a great guide although I have frozen almost all you mentioned except sour cream and cottage cheese. Good to know. Thanks. Keep them coming!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you beautiful for sharing this video with us I always love watching your videos love from Melbourne Australia 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Thanks for joining us all the way from beautiful Australia!!
I love apricot jam and peanut butter!
Yes!! A family fave!
The greens on strawberries are so good for you! I just throw them in a smoothie and you don’t even notice
I used to freeze cookie 🍪 dough all the time. I will try that freezer rice and chicken idea. Freezing the spinach is a great idea. I like to freeze slices of my cooked meat loaf, then thaw for sandwiches and in a pinch heat in spaghetti sauce and use as a meatball replacement.
Frozen cookie dough is my favorite! Feel free to try it all!
Thanks for the ideas and inspiration! I was just bagging up frozen cookie dough today a little before seeing your video. I love having it on hand, and if I get tempted by sweets when I am at the store I am more likely to skip it knowing I have cookies ready to go. So it helps to save as well. Lee's and Winco have had their strawberries for $0.99 each right now, so I've also stocked up on strawberries in the freezer. What do you make with your frozen strawberries? Something I found that freezes okay is salsa. Although, I've only ever frozen in portion sizes to use for salsa chicken in the instant pot.
My kids love smoothies for breakfast on late summer mornings! Be sure to try this - www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/strawberry-dole-whip/
I used to make PB&J sandwiches using the circle cutter to make uncrustables all the time! A loaf or more at a time in individual sandwich bags and store them in the freezer. When we would go to the beach or park after school the kids loved it and where never hungry! Some times I did ham, Turkey and cheese too. I used the crust for bread crumbs, no waste!
This is the best list, ever. Half of the items on your list, I wouldn't even think of that going into the freezer. This will really help me out. You're fantastic, giving out your knowledge to all of us folks who don't have enough time to even think or plan, cause we're so busy. Thank you so very much.
Glad it was helpful!
@@SixSistersStuff
All of what you have put on RUclips with your sisters has been of enormous help. I'm sure a lot of people feel this way. You and your sisters are a blessing. Thank you.
Thank you Kristen! But, I missed seeing Harper! I’d like to watch her grow! You have a Beautiful Family! It’s always fun watching the faces of the girls when they test taste something!‼️❤️❣️💗Especially Sarah😘love it!💕
She was napping! I'm sure she'll make an appearance very soon!
Great idea! Milk also freezes well. So if you find a good buy freeze it! Our son says he doesn't like milk after it's been frozen, but he doesn't notice the difference once it thaws and it is shaken well.
We've had a few people share that they freeze milk! Great idea!
love this channel
Thanks for the love!
Your pudding cookies are the best. We like to change up the pudding and chip types and make different flavor combinations!
Great idea! What do you like to use?
@@SixSistersStuff I love lemon pudding with white chocolate chips and chocolate pudding with peanut butter chips best. My husband does the vanilla with no chips at all, which is also our daughter and my mom in laws favorite way.
I always freeze butter
It's so easy and nice to have on hand!
@@SixSistersStuff Agree 100%%%
Please make a six sisters freezer meal book!!! I’m waiting for it 😉
Thank you for another great video! Hopefully, I will act on this one. My health has not been great of late. Several times I found myself thinking “why did I never put freezer meals together?” Maybe I’ve learned my lesson!
This might just be your sign!
Do you have any recipes low carb. I’m diabetic. Just started watching the channel and love it.
I have learned so much from watching your channel thank you!!!
You are so welcome!!
@@SixSistersStuff Keep up the great work and your newborn baby girl is adorable!!
Hi here from your Danish 🇩🇰subscriber and thanks for sharing
Hello! Thanks!
I use to to do when my kids were in school I think I’ll do it again just so I don’t have worry about cooking
I’ve froze stuff before, & I learned something new, I didn’t know u can freeze rice! 🤔Thnx, Six Sisters’ Stuff🍚 ❤️
If you go out for Chinese (or Thai, etc), always ask for your rice to be boxed up separately and take it home. If you don’t use it to make quick fried rice or to add to burritos, etc, you can put it in a bag and into the freezer. I’ve even saved the leftover rice from a few Chinese dinners, just adding to the bag in the freezer (dated with the oldest rice) until I have enough to make something else or serve with a stir fry.
@@Lucinda_Jackson 🤯🙌🏼
@@Lucinda_Jackson Great idea! They always give you way more rice than you will eat!
When I make breakfast burritos I combine everything but rhe cheese. That way it's only scooping one time, add cheese and roll them up. Since I live alone, I don't eat them really often so I wrap each one in plastic wrap then put them in a large ziploc bag.
Great idea!!
Love the Tshirt
Thanks!
My college roommate (20 yrs ago) would always have cookie dough in her freezer. A must have!
It really is!
Hey Kristen! 🥰 I always cook rice in my IP now …(it has replaced my rice cooker)…I use it for dinner and maybe for fried rice the next day but then put the leftover rice into freezer qt sized bags for freezing…Then I always have some for a future dinner (put it frozen into the microwave for a min maybe two) or for fried rice for breakfasts…thanks for the dairy tips as I was unsure whether or not I could freeze them…I hate throwing away excess food when I can keep it in the freezer for a later use.
I'm so glad you are using your IP for cooking rice. I like it better than in the rice cooker!
If you lay a damp paper towel over you're rice when you heat it, it tastes like you just cooked it.
I've never done frozen rice but that sounds like a great idea! Also I don't think I have enough self restraint to have cookies in the freezer. They would probably last maybe a week.
Do not worry! Most of the time my cookies do not even make it into the freezer because we eat all the dough!
Thank you so much for sharing these, Kristen. I love the 'cartoon inserts'. And the Doctor Strange one, too! We love Doctor Strange, Marvel. Have you seen the new movie? Looking forward to see more videos to come. Have a wonderful day.
Need to see the new movie! So glad you stopped by!
@@SixSistersStuff Thank you. I'm glad I stopped by too.
Kristen you are an amazing gal! I can’t thank you enough for all the amazing work you do for all of us. You’ve made my life so much easier that I look forward to my Sunday Prep days. There are days when I just don’t feel like I can prepare meals ( health issues), and with your help and wonderful meals, tips and tricks we eat great meals at home!
Love to you and your beautiful family! God bless! 🤗💕
Yes! When you have health issues or even just mobility issues, some days are better than others. If you can make hay while the sun shines, so to speak, you’ll always have a good dinner on the not so sunny days.
@@Lucinda_Jackson so right mobility issues here and they do take their toll on us.
@@ellencox7168
I have some of both, but the joint and mobility problems are what make me decide to eat something unhealthy and keep me from preparing the meal I’d planned on the “bad” days. Freezer meals to the rescue!
Have cooked with freezer meals for 3 decades.
Please be aware though, if your health issues call for B vitamins, they do NOT survive freezing, even a short time, so plan meals that add the breads etc later. Or be sure that a frozen meal is surrounded with fresh foods that do supply Vit Bs
@@Laura0IN
Really good advice! I take massive doses of vitamins daily for a health issue so I know I’m okay and wouldn’t have thought to include that!
Thanks for sharing great advice!
I love making egg rolls, I usually do a double amount, 32 egg rolls. I half fry them and individually wrap them. When I want some I throw a few in my oven for 15 minutes on each side, lunch.
Sounds great! Thanks for the tip!
Great suggestions! When you pull out the sandwiches, do they get soggy as they defrost? I’ve had that happen before, that’s why I’m asking
We haven't really had a problem with the PB&J.
I love making rice in my Instant Pot, I dehydrate unused leftovers to make my own minute rice as my freezer space is at a premium.
I would like your cookbook,
Here is the link to them!

@@SixSistersStuff Thanks!
You can put the individual spinach bags into a gallon freezer bag so they last longer but are still in smaller units. How do you use the rice after it is frozen? Steam it? Also, is the texture of the rice different? Thank you.
No different..been doing this for years
Just heat it up, we usually microwave it or add it into recipes that call for rice. Use it just the same.
Best recipes 👍 will make recipes and post these make me hungry.Blessings to all💜😇☕️🌸🌺🥘🍳
I love good recipes!
@@SixSistersStuff Thanks God bless 🙏 🌸💜
How do you thaw and reheat the cooked rice?
I love doing the hamburger. I do use a steam basket and all the grease goes like you show. I also started to drain and "wash it" makes for less mess when re using it. I like that I can throw the bags of meat frozen right back into the IP when wanting to use it. I even do that for the taco burger add the seasoning and cook for like 3-5 min and its like all done and nice. I am not a fan of the house smelling like cooked grease just something about that is like eww. I need to get cracking and go thru your videos and make some pre made freezer meals for days I just cant cook for what ever reason. Throw in the IP and wala dinner is ready. I need to do that with the rice also. Not that rice takes forever, but I can see doing that for complete ease! I will make up some tomorrow!
I like your idea to put the beef in the basket when cooking in the IP. I'm going to do this today with the ground beef I just bought.
@@ladyfingerhandmade let me know of it works sure saves a lot of grease in your burger at least the ones I have bought 80/20
@@nessasnook I had a 5 lb sleeve of ground beef so I had to split it into 2 batches. The first batch I just place the whole chunk in the IP for 20 mins and the center was still a little raw. I broke it up a little and put it back in for another 4 minutes and it was perfect. Second batch I broke the chunk into 2 smaller chunks and cooked for 20 mins again. This worked much better! Now I'm going to split all the beef into 5 packs and vacuum seal them before I freeze them. I love this method and will be using it again!
@@ladyfingerhandmade Its by far the easiest way to do burger. I am not a fan of standing over the stove cooking burger and sure not a fan of the smell of grease from meats when cooking. That is why I love my IP's and my air fryers. You know how you just cant get that smell for days out of your house I dont like that. Plus I am super lazy and doing it this way you can say opps I forgot to take out dinner and the burger is cooked and toss it in what ever your making and it thaws cant get better than that!
You got a generator so when the power goes out?
I freeze my 1/2 gal milk jugs too! I buy it when it’s on sale and freeze until needed. I lay a jug out the night before and out in the fridge the next morning. You’ll never know it was frozen. (Be sure to shake the jug well before the first serving)
Yes, freezing milk is great too!
Will jasmine rice freeze just as well?
I usually have about 40 lbs of butter in the freezer at all times but since moving, I've let my stash run out.😭Now with prices going through the roof, I could kick myself for not keeping up my stock when there were sales for $1.99/lb! I live in Wisconsin and my 40+lbs had lasted me for 3 years for me and my husband.(empty nesters). Now I am scrambling to buy at $2.49/lb to get my stock back up in the deep freezer!
I cant imagine what prices are elsewhere when in the "Dairy State", they are going through the roof! #LGB #FJB
It's pretty crazy everywhere! I would love to have 40 pounds in my freezer right now! Good luck building it back up!
Wow, great price! Here in south Texas I am paying $4.38 per lb.
I have a question. I freeze my cheese too but when it’s time to defrost the slices become crumbly and I can’t really use the slice, I end up crumbling the cheese. Do you have any tips on how to keep it sliced when you thaw it out?
Q. Love love your channel!! Do you have a air fryer toaster oven by chance? We just got one looking for recipes. ?? Help??
We only have an air fryer that we primarily use! If you check out some of those recipes throughout the channel - you just might be able to find something you like!
You did all that freezing on my birthday lol
Just for you!!! Happy Birthday Kathy!
Does your rice get mushy after you freeze and cook again?
I just bought a 5 lb "roll" of ground beef, but it is not frozen. How much time? I want to put some precooked meat in my freezer.
What is the best method for reheating the rice after it's frozen?
I add just a little water,cover with saran and microwave.
We usually just microwave it or add it into the recipe we are making.
I put a damp paper towel and nuke it for not too long. Or throw it in a stir fry. If you do the damp towel thing it tastes brand new
👍🏻👍🏻
Do you always keep your manual cooking on “hi” instead of “normal”? I noticed this in your video and one of the recipes I did the other day my default for manual setting is “normal”. Thank you!
It defaults to that and it works great.
