    Reusing the tortilla bag reminded me of when we were growing up my mom would always pack our sandwiches for the ball games/picnics etc right back in to the bread bag. Makes me smile!

    Great idea with the freezing monster cookies to bake. I'm doing that from now on....if there's no extra cookies to eat I can't eat them. I love your whistling music between intro and exit. Whistling is a talent that needs to be brought back. It relieves stress.

    This was such a wonderful video. I am getting ready to change jobs that will have me out of the house a lot more, even away overnight 2 nights a week. I do 💯% of the cooking and needed some easy freezer ideas! I will definitely be using these. Way to be such a wonderful sister!

    I love this! I'm trying to prep some meals for my daughter and her family! We're getting ready to welcome my fourth grandlove in the next two weeks!!! The first three grands are a bit older (oldest are twins who will be 14 and current youngest will be 12!!! A most joyous surprise to be blessed with this new baby) and they have ravenous appetites! So far I've got waffles, pancakes, sausage/egg/cheese muffins for breakfast ideas. A crock of chili, lasagna, beef stew for dinner ideas. I forgot about Swedish meatballs and the burrito ideas!! I can make both breakfast and lunch/dinner type burritos!! I've got to try those biscuits too!! I've learned over the course of the years that the best gifts are time and timesaving ideas🙂 Congratulations to your sister and her family and thanks for sharing!

    Your biscuits look amazing! There’s nothing like a homemade biscuit. In my opinion, the canned ones and the homemade are two different foods.

    We don't call them biscuits in Australia, but my son makes them to have with soup or just afternoon tea . We use 2 cups of self raising flour, 1 cup of cream and one can of lemonade. So quick , easy and Delicious 🙂

      @@karolina313 in Australia we have what we call lemonade that comes in cans & bottles. We call it soft drink…you call it soda..? It would be the same as sprite, we have that here too. The recipe Bel is referring to is a cheats way to make scones (biscuits here is the same as your cookies)

    Instead of using chicken broth unless I have canned or frozen at myself I usually just use chicken bouillon since I have it in the cupboard all the time period it is a lot cheaper and just quick and you can make it a little stronger if you want which is what I do so it has a little extra flavor period just another shortcut period thank you so much for all of these videos and great ideas

Am I the only one? And those cookies look great. I'm not supposed to have them but I think I'll make my nephew some and sneak one or two!
