Post more videos like this and the one of the meals for your dad and mother in law please. I live alone also. I would really appreciate these kind of freezer meal recipes.
Welcome and thanks for the feedback! We often split our regular recipes into something smaller for the singles in our lives, but they are included within our other videos, rather than have another dedicated video for that. But you're right - it's definitely a need out there. I'm sure there will be more meals for one and two in our future. Stay tuned!
@@FreezerMeals101 Your larger recipes I am thinking I can probably cut in half to fit my need. Than have possible left overs. I am sub of Jamerill as well. Still trying to figure how to do hers to fit my need as well. lol
I would love that also…I am a widow and this would help alot
Your side convos are funny. Don’t change. It keeps it interesting.
The little meatloaves are cute. We love meatloaf sandwichs with leftovers, I make a big loaf and freeze it in slices so we can either make a sandwich or make a quick meal with leftover sides
Good idea!
I have 2 home-care aides that would greatly appreciate these as they both live alone and find it hard to cook for just..ok, they dont know how to cook at all..lol.
lol - You can pass this video along to them with som encouraging words!
I’m single and appreciate the tips for one portion in quart size bags. Out of curiosity, what sizes do Canadians use? Embarrassed I don’t already know. Leftover chili, I gotta share, sorry if you already got this. Frito Pie, a Texas classic. Pour chili over corn chips, top with shredded cheddar.
That sounds good. Going to try it next time I make chili. In Canada, we have large, medium, sandwich and snack size bags. 🙂
@@angieb9823 thanks. Interesting, we have sandwich and snack sizes too - a mix of size descriptions here, typical melting pot I suppose. 🤣 Frito Pie is popular for sporting events. I like to top with sour cream and onions.
Frito Pie sounds very interesting! Thanks for sharing that. Our gallon size bag here is just called large and quart size is medium.
I dont enjoy watching a video on how to make something in fast motion, but if you like it it fine. I dont mean to sound ugly but would like to see more of the acrual footage and how to blend everything together
My husband was vey confused the first time he saw frito pie on the menu. I thought it was a staple everywhere.
Lids on foil containers are upside down you write on the white side foil side goes on the food as I am on my own now these are great for me keep up the good work thanks 😊
Thank you for this. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I like your additional cooking tips! Please don't stop. I want to buy those reusable TV dinner type trays from Amazon. So great!
It is easier to write on the bags before filling them with food!!! Also, there is no need to have different videos for smaller and larger servings. Just reduce or increase the amount of ingredients. Since you never make very large portions, it is better to keep the amount of food the same, and simply split it into more containers or bags. Preparing a lot of food when prepping freezer meals just means going for longer periods between preps.
Hello I absolutely love these ideas but I’ll be making triple the amount as family meals I love prepping and freezing and you guys have seriously motivated me so much 🥞😀
We're glad you're here Kathy!
You can also put them over nacho chips and add cheese for easy nachos
I puree veggies in my mini ninja... my grandchildren know there's veg, and they're happy bc they can't see them, lol 😂
Great idea!
I’m in America, 1 quart is 32 ounces or 0.94 liter. Gallon is 128 ounces or 3.78 liters if that helps 😀 my mom was born in Toronto, LOVE Canada!!!!
Thanks!
Just found your channel…love that you are Canadian so I can find these items too! Inspires me to get meal prepping especially with with winter coming and I love home made comfort food! Love how you let your personality shine, feel like I’m listening to a friend!
Welcome!
A tip for scooping the meatloaf , use a cookie or ice cream scoop . Each ball is the same size
Thanks for the tip!
I’m so glad I clicked in the recipes sound great and you are a joy to listen to it’s like sitting in the kitchen of a good friend I will be back for more
Glad you were here with us!
Love your personality😊 good vibes and good video 👍😃
Thank you so much 😁
Awesome Job! I'm so glad I found you, this is exactly what I'm looking for for my teenage sons. They do some cooking themselves but when they are working and I'm not home this makes things quicker for them and less processed & takeout foods. The mini meatloaves are a huge hit in our home, just serve with mashed potatoes & baked beans. Try French's Ketchup, Made in Canada.😊 Thank you so much from Saskatchewan !!! 💖
Great recipes. Thank you.
Just one note; for your Tortellini, the white part on containers goes on top, so you write on it what the meal is. And the shiny part on the bottom. 😊
I’ve wondered about that before so thanks for explaining.
I've always been afraid of putting the white part on the outside because I worry about it catching fire in the oven. But it does make sense that it would be easier to write on the white part!
@@FreezerMeals101 i was told that you have to remove the “lids” when you put it in the oven and just line it with foil to prevent it from burning or something
Romique Kropman yes. That's what I do. I would think of it as a fire hazard.
thank you you rock my day things are made so easy with you
I have a huge 30 quart stainless steel bowl that love to use when batch freezer cooking. It has plenty of room to mix properly and is very easy to clean between each meal prepping. Thank you for posting this video. I will be cooking up some meals for the grandparents and I was stumped on what to do.
Those big bowls are so awesome! Hard to store and you don't need them very often but wow! they are perfect for the job! Glad you feel inspired!
@@FreezerMeals101 my husband figured out a way to hang the bowl on the wall in my food storage closet. It is within reach yet out of the way.
After you cook and cool them down, I would put them on silicone baking mats on cookie sheets and pop them in my freezer for about 6 to 8 hours and flash freeze them unless you’re singly putting them into their own individual Ziploc bags they will stick together if you just stick them in a Ziploc bag together because once they’re frozen, they will stick together like that so I highly recommend that you put them on parchment paper or silicone baking mats on cookie sheets in your freezer for up to eight hours and then put them into Ziploc bags that way they do not stick together I do this also with homemade Turkey burgers and homemade black bean burgers and an array and assortment of other things that I cook that way nothing sticks together in the bag.
I see you climbing on your cupboards 😆 I do the same 😆😆
The life of being a short person! 🤣
I did until I got white cabinets! Now I have a step stool!
Love, love, love your content. So many awesome ideas!!!! Thank you
Oh my goodness, finally someone who understands touching raw meat is the worst! I really thought I was just weird. Thanks for all the ideas!
You're welcome!
There are so many things I like about your videos, and especially this one. I am one of the ones who has been waiting with bated breath for another Single Serve version and you did not disappoint! I love how real you are - chatty, forgetful, improvising and honest. Also, appreciate all of the tips and tricks. It's like you give me permission to cook what and how I want which may not necessarily have been accepted by conventional cooks. I do have a question - For dishes like the Alfredo Tortellini do you put the foil dishes in the oven with the cardboard lid? I have always been afraid that they would catch on fire. I usually put foil on and then the cardboard lid for the freezer (makes it firmer for stacking) and then I just have to take the cardboard off and it is already to go in the oven.
I'm so glad to hear you find the videos helpful! Yes, I put them in the oven with the cardboard lid on them but I make sure the lid is turned foil side up. I've never had issues with them catching on fire that way. But if you don't have a foil side on your lid, then I'd remove it before baking.
I have put all ingredients for meatloaf in a gallon bag and smushed/ mixed it in it and shaped loaves.
That's a strategy I hadn't thought of for not having to touch the raw meat. Thanks for sharing!
Did you know your putting the “lids” upside down?
The shiny side should be on the food so you can write on the paper side for those aluminum pans
Love your recipes!!
Yes it is paper side up
I was going to comment the same thing untill I saw your comment
I never knew that!
First of all , I love your videos ! I'm only sorry that we didn't have RUclips or freezer bags when I was raising my children 40 yrs ago .
I now live alone and I still like to cook . Problem is, I have to eat the same thing all week .
I'm just about to watch your video on single serving meals .
Thanks again !
Thanks for the love! Do you eat the same thing all week because it's all leftovers? Or do you need to for some medical reason? So many of our meals can easily be divided into smaller portions for singles and couples and that can offer variety throughout your week without days of leftovers. I'm glad you still like to cook. It's often hard to cook for one.
Love the comment about listening to your MIL I never listened to either if my MIL the 1st 1 always spoke to me like I was a child and the 2nd 1 always assumed it was my fault and I was the 1 in the wrong never her son .. now I dont have any to have to listen to and I'm so stress free I love it .. just 5 children stressing me out but them I can handle xx
No need to worry about size bags to use since most of us know the size to use. Quart is smaller than gallon, sort of the size of a sandwich. Gallon is larger. Chili is great over baked potatoes. I don’t like Alfredo sauce so I will do my tortellinis with red sauce.
The tortellini works really well with red sauce!
TY 4 putting link to recipes to jump to down below.
You are so welcome!
Meatloaf muffins are the BEST!!! Love all of your ideas ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Molly!
Please have a demo of how to make the frozen meal ready for the table
I love chili over baked potato
Didn't you put the lids upside down? Foil goes down or else paper side just gets soggy if placed towards foods
I love freezing marinade chicken breast. I get a lot do my marinade recipes from sweet pea and saffron
They do have great marinade ideas at Sweet Pea and Saffron!
Watched for the first time today...
I'm.in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. You said you were too. Have a bot more to watch I'll be back ill probally subscribe. The recipes I saw look yummy.... I'll be back.
Love your channel it’s very inspirational .. I love chilli with rice also chilli on a baked potato with a side salad is wonderful too .. and chilli on top of Portobello mushrooms with cheese and potato wedges…the choices are endless but that’s the wonder of chilli .. hope that give you some inspiration to try these for yourselves .. sending love best wishes and looking forward to your next mega freezer meal video 👍🏻😊
Those are GREAT suggestions for chili. Thank you for sharing those!
"I'm Canadian, it's not my fault!" 🤣🤣 For reference, a gallon is bigger than a quart 🙃
🤣
You may have had this pointed out already but in the description box below where you put the recipes, the last 2 meals have the name but no link to the recipes. I noticed because ibm interested in the chicken curry dish. Loving what you and Christie do. AND I’ve been motivated to do freezer meals again. ( I did them each time I was pregnant so that during the post partum period was a little less stressful). Thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶
And cooking nummy meals is just such a good idea...when you love to cook....and you live alone...plus the neighbours will love a treat too!!!
Frito chili pie-- Fritos, chili, cheddar, sour cream, green onion, etc
I do not like to touch it either so I use a potato masher.
Hi! I see the chili recipe says 6 servings. How much is a serving? I have jars I want to use instead of bags but need to know if they're big enough.
My bonus chili add in: cook up elbow macaroni and add that plus extra chopped celery, bell peppers then mix in frozen corn. You can add cheese to top then you have a chili mac casserole. The corn is esp. good when using black beans in the original chili.
TIA!
Serving size would be one to one and a half cups per serving.
Your chili idea for a chilli mac casserole is great! Thanks for sharing.
you put the covers on the containers up side down. the foil side covers the food, not the paper side
Dot from UK
Hi, not watched this vid yet looking forward to to as it's single servings and I live alone. I've noticed you have trouble saying Worcestershire sauce simply call it Lea and Perrins I'm English and here in UK it's known by both names great product and have used it many times, Going to watch your vid now Love Dot x
hehe we call worchestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins much simpler 😁
LOL most brits tell me it's pronounced "Wooster" of all things 😕
Great ideas, I must clear out the freezer to prep my freezer. You Kondo'd yours!🤗
Edit: I've enjoyed using prepared and frozen French beans as a substitute for garden peas. It gives a nice "bite/crunch"
You're half way - "woosta Shah sauce" yay 🎉
Love your channel 💞
Great tip for the beans. Thanks!
It is neither “wooster” nor “shah”.

Hi, these are great! Do you have a link for those reusable freezer bag?
Thanks for the reminder. I meant to add that link into the description. I'm going to add it now. You can find them here: amzn.to/3wPgPkD
Hi! I love the large mixing bowls you use, are they stain resistant!
Hi Marie - the prep bowls are tried and true Tupperware, so yes, they are stain resistant. The wash up really well in both the sink and the dishwasher.
Please tell me about the inside herb grower behind you. Do you like it? Name? Where to purchase? Thank you. Jo
I love it! I actually got it for my husband as an anniversary gift a year and a half ago but I've kind of unofficially taken it over as my own. I use the herbs all the time and now have a rotation system so that when one like basil or dill or cilantro starts to get big, I plant another of the same so that it will be ready by the time the other is gone.
I got it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3iudfHI
Please do this for vegetarian 🙏

Where did you get your aluminum pans with the covers?
Usually walmart or Sam's club has them
Do you have directions to reheat in the microwave?
Because microwaves are all different, we don't typically add instructions. For mine personally, about 2 minutes does a decent reheat. Yours might take 3 minutes. You'll have to do a bit of trial and error to find the sweet spot on your microwave. Thanks for watching!
@@FreezerMeals101 ok so reheating once thawed. I thought there might be directions for going straight from freezer to microwave.
when you use the aluminum containers, how do you keep them from becoming freezer burnt since you can't squeeze out the air?
You can lay a layer of plastic wrap directly over the food and remove before cooking.
Make baked potatoes and you can put the chili over them with cheese and sour cream
You can also put it over nachos with cheese
Great ideas! Thank you.
How long do you cook a single serve frozen tortellini in the oven?
Thalfredo sauce doesn’t separate when it thaws?
Nope! It freezes (and thaws) beautifully actually. I will say that I've always used jarred Alfredo though so I don't know if a homemade Alfredo would separate when thawed.
Is that an herb garden in the backyard?
Yes! It's an indoor herb garden and I love it. Before this, I was never able to keep plants alive so I love being able to see the herbs growing. I've had it for at least three years and have been able to grow herbs successfully that whole time.
@FreezerMeals101 I'm about to move into an apartment and I will be oolong into this. I m tired of buying herbs and them going to waste. Thanks.
Wuster shy err. 😺🌷🌷
Hello. I am concerned about your honey spoon. You placed the spoon inside the chicken bag to "scrape it off" inside the bag.... but then put that spoon back into your jar. Please be careful! You might have cross-contaminated your honey jar with raw chicken juices because the chicken most likely touched the inside sides of that bag.
Thank you for your concern!
Ok so let me start by saying I love single portion meals for my dad. So I appreciate the ideas, but I wanted to tell you that I'm worried you just contaminated your entire jar of honey. You have raw chicken in a bag that has touched the sides of the bag and you used the inside of the bag to wipe your spoon. Then you dropped the spoon in the WHOLE jar of honey.
I think you are cute as a button. I love your channel. Your friend Trish in Sandiego Ca USA
Awww! Thanks Trish!
From a phonetic specialist.....
WUH/st/sure. I am sure no one will agree. 😆
With an English mother, I have always known it to be pronounced as ‘Woos-ter-sheer’ or ‘Wooster’ for short.
You need to stick with one project at a time. Stop jumping from one recipe to the next before getting one done. It’s too confusing.
Lol for the ADHD individuals, it’s perfect
Why do you wear gloves ?
I don't like the feeling of touching raw meat with my hands, so I only wear gloves if I am doing something like mixing raw beef for meatloaf or meatballs by hand.
I use gloves when I work with minced meat because I do not want it under the nails and you do not have to wash your hands so often just to change gloves if needed, the phone has the ability to ring when you do something messy.
So I'm noticing that you don't do anything from scratch and there is really no cooking going on....your mostly throwing canned items and things in a bag and heating it in the oven and crockpot...interesting
Interesting that you felt compelled to write a useless, condescending comment. 🤔
