I love that you blurred out Andrew's hair! 😂😂😂 It was respectful of him not wanting his helmet hair on camera but also teasing. The best kind of parenting!
For stale chips, you can throw them in the air fryer for a couple minutes and it will make them crunchy and crisp again 😊
You can throw them in the oven too. 350 for 15-20min.
What!?!? Thanks for the tip. I need to try this!
Nice tip.
Works for stale popcorn too!!
Omg I do this all the time! Sometimes they’re even tastier
OMG! I loved that you used Kimberly "Whisk" in this video!!!! I love Kim so very much!!!!!! She's a hoot!
That made me laugh too, I love Kim
You can also throw whole limes, lemons, etc directly in the freezer. They take about 5 minutes to thaw and then you can zest and juice for cooking. I have a lime tree and could never use all the limes when it is producing so this is what I do.
Wow! I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!😊
Thats a fantastic idea! I bought a whole bag of limes and most went bad before i could use them all. I swear I never think about freezing things. Thanks for the tip 😉
Great tip! Didn’t know they can be frozen 😮
My husband makes Lemoncello as Christmas gifts and only uses the zest of the lemons. If he's left any zest on the lemons I zest it and freeze. Then I juice some and freeze in ice cube trays then pop into a freezer bag. The rest goes into a freezer bag whole to be used for cooking.
“I bought some amount of cow.” -Christine, 2023
We are luckily in this financial environment not struggling by the grace of God but we are insanely frugal none the less and your videos keep me inspired with so many new ideas all the time. I appreciate all the time and energy you give to us and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you
As a mom of teenage boys, the hat incident was too real 😅 Hair is super important!!!😂
“Not expired! Just best before”
😂
once a month, I spend 6-8 hours cooking meals, vegetable, beans , rice and snacks to fill up my freezer. I use them for lunchs and diners for the entire month! This make my others sunday prep very short !
That’s my plan once I finally get a bigger freezer 💪🏻
I am watching this while eating a clearance buffalo salad kit with clearance popcorn chicken and clearance NAAN!! I’ve been clearance shopping for months, and this is the first naan I’ve found!! Dinner was less than $3- I thank you for teaching me your ways, Sensei 🙏🏻
I love that you're not afraid to use things past their best before date!
In my experience, most things are fine past their Best Buy dates. The only bad experience I’ve had was with mayo based products. LOL that being said, I don’t stock up on mayo based products anymore.
We always do a pantry challenge in the end of summer into fall. It helps make room in our house and budget for holiday goodies later on!
For extra ham, make a giant Mac and cheese and dice up your ham and add it and a bag of broccoli florets. Freeze it boom, one dish meal ready to go with a side salad.
Good meals. Here is to all the people watching Christine is not afraid of sell by dates. ha ha Texas girl, count me in. Everything looks wonderful.
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
My boyfriend’s motto…”it’s not expired it’s best before!”😆
@THEWADS reference 12:43😂
Ok the inserted clips were soooo good today! Anytime someone references the Gilmore Girls I am 100% in. Oy with the poodles and copper boom!
I'm just upset with myself that I couldn't place the episode right away! Clearly, I'm out of practice LOL. I'm thinking maybe it's the scene with the burning loin?
I wanted to comment that I am always impressed with the inserted clips! How does she find them?!? 😂
Yeah! The freezer clean outs and your touch all the things grocery hauls are my favorites
I was told OLD SCHOOL
that freezer cook refreezing is a no no?
My 1 and half year old heard your voice came running and curled up to watch your video. The only person she ever does that to.
I started my first freezer and pantry challenge about a month ago. It is amazing to realize how much food you actually have. Each week I spend only about 25.00 on fruits and fresh vegetables (I have a lot of frozen veggies) and despite starting the second month I feel like I’ve barely made a dent. 😅 I’m a household of one though so it’s gonna take a while, especially with a small chest freezer to power through, but both my reduction in grocery costs and food waste feels fantastic.
That pie had a wink and a smile! How adorable! Thanks for the video! You’re an inspiration of great ideas!
We are in the process of cleaning out our freezers too- its hard not to buy more great deals whike trying to do this😊
I got 5 of the .99 peanut butter last week! Gotta love Kroger!! ❤
We had a couple of financial surprises recently so I went back to this video for inspiration. I made the commitment to use all of the meat, veggies, potatoes, bread, etc in our freezer & the sauces, canned ingredients, pastas, rice, other grains, etc before buying more. After I went through everything & took inventory, I went through my cookbooks & found recipes for things I can make with what we have. I think we can go 2 months without buying any meat & a good month & 1/2 without buying shelf stable items. That means I will only need to buy fresh produce, dairy products, eggs & other fresh items. My plan is to shop sales for things we need to buy & spend no more than $50 a week. Today, it was $48 using Target Circle & I did buy several things that will last beyond this week. Very excited to see how this goes!
Also! That holiday ham? The leftover makes FANTASTIC sandwiches with some pickles, sallad and a nice spread/mayo/sauce 🎉
Christine, I love your channel and I absolutely thought the idea of the Beam Dream was a great idea, because has a horrible time sleeping. I went and looked at it and it way out of our price range. We are seniors and live on social security. I am working really hard on not messing up our budget, so this is something I will have to pass on. Thanks for the suggestion.
Dave's reaction to Andrew is the best
THANK YOU for the ham inspo!! I felt so seen because I've had a ham we "earned" from our grocery store during a holiday promotion around Easter. 🤣
I also like cubing up those awkward large chunks of extra ham and adding it to some homemade mac and cheese as an easy freezer meal. 😋
The end and Andrew were the best part of the video!
Andrew killed me!!!😜🤪🤪
My mom had a pulled pork brine recipe, so I recently started using that with chicken breasts in the IP, shred in the stand mixer, and then use in several applications.
I am doing a similar clean out of my food. I did an Excel spreadsheet listing all the food in the freezer and pantry - listing the item, how many of each item and the expiration date. I then sorted it by the expiration date and way-lah - I have my meal plan for the next couple of months!! I chuckled when you were referring to the expiration/use by/sell by dates. I have an assortment of them too. 😂 I have some items that are opened such as frozen chicken tenders & some broccoli, so those will be used up first. I have a smaller freezer and pantry cupboard but I am only cooking for myself so this food will last for the next 3 months. It will also lower my food costs during this time which is fantastic as this grandma needs Christmas money!
Husband's trying not to laugh was too funny.
FINALLY! It feels like it’s been six months since you posted one of these ❤
Omg Tony’s always makes me sneeze! Your channel is my new favorite. Can’t stop watching!
I only noticed the tucans the second time I watched this and now I can't stop laughing 😂 You're always hilarious, Christine
When I have leftover ham with the bone, I boil the whole thing. So when there's about as much as in your video....start boiling! After the ham has fallen off the bone, toss the bone. Now you have all the broth you need plus the the ham, and it doesn't take as much space in the freezer because it lays flat.
Good tip!
The end bit was hilarious, especially the blurred out lid!
'Because I like sugar' 😆 Same Dave. SAAAAAME 🤪
Yay my favorite type of video from you!
I cracked up at you blurring your sons hair until he got his hat! 😂
Christian has become my favorite notification received, she's just a burst of positive energie 🙉
Love freezer use ups! Thanks for the inspiration. 🎉
I also don’t believe 😢expiration dates!
When it comes to most spices you just end up using more after the best use-by date. Don't throw it away just use more to achieve the taste you want.
I clean out my pantry refrigerator and freezers on a regular monthly basis
I only use glass dishes for reheating food, so I have about 15 of those two cup glass containers. I like leftovers, so I dish food into those containers to freeze, and then I just grab one to take to work for lunch. I’m always happy when I have two or three choices in the freezer.
I am currently trying to do this as well. I have at least 3+ weeks worth of meals planned out without having to buy anything but a few produce items
Love the nod to Kim from The Wads. 😅 you and her I just love the entertainment
Lol loved that Kimberly whisk showed up!!
I started doing that this summer! I don’t know how to cook for just myself. I’d make a full meal, and I put the leftovers in individual serving freezer safe containers! Now, I have teacher lunch every day, and I don’t have to eat the same thing 5 days in a row. :)
I love that you threw Kimberly in ❤😂 I love you ideas your amazing Christine I love her "apparently" too lol 😅😂
Your add in videos are hilarious 😂
I get the impression you and your family aren’t too fussy and will eat pretty much anything 😊
Ham doesn’t last long in my house. It’s all spent on ham n beans and a white bean soup. 😍😍😍
Love freezer clean out videos!
Thank you for the ideas and the laughs!
Love these videos thanks ❤😊
You are so industrious and funny! Thanks for your videos!
Fun video christine. Great ideas too.
Love your videos! ❤
yes! I love pantry and freezer clean out cooking videos!
Thanks, Christine! Great info! ❤️
I loooooovvvvveeeee your freezer and pantry clean outs. Please do them more
Great segment! Great ideas for meals!!
I cube and slice up the leftover ham from Easter and freeze it. The slices go for sandwich meat, and the cubes are used in soup or for omelets.
These are my favorite videos of yours!!!
😂 great video! Loved the Kim cameo. She’s a hoot and a half
Thanks! This is my kind of inspiration. I was hunting around for some "shelftember" ideas, and this was helpful.
I love Kimberly Whisk!!
Love to here that bell! Christine is here with a new video!😊
I made a similar soup the other day. I had my clearance sausage, beef broth, navy beans, spinach, diced tomatoes and dry tortellini. I need to eat the leftovers soon, but it was so good!
These are my absolute favorite of the videos you do! 😊
I'm right there with u Christine! I've got to clean out to make room for the Thanksgiving turkey and then the Christmas baking!❤
Ham and pineapple fried rice is sooo good!
These are my favorite types of videos!!!
I love seeing Kimberly whisk!! Also love your bangs and all your tips!!
Loved the sneezing!!
I have always loved watching her videos but especially like the inserted movie/tv funnies😀
That jalapeño jar is looking pretty full!
On freezing onions--if you have a freezer separate from your ice it works fine. My family always complains the ice tastes of onions if I freeze them in the same freezer!. Our favorite left over ham--funeral potatoes with ham in it.
Also, it depends what type of storage container you place those chopped onions in before you place them in the freezer. If you're using a Ziploc bag, I highly recommend a double bag with the first bag being placed zipper side down inside the second bag. If you're using a cryo bag, make sure it's the thick one. Otherwise, I would recommend a Lock & Lock container.
Also try placing an open box of baking soda in your freezer to help with odors.
I've tried everything. My family just swears they can taste it--I can't.

I love ham! I dont get one and cook one due to having a ton of leftovers. But sometimes I get one and keep some of it and then share with family friends .
I love the clips you add.😂
Yes love these videos please do more ❤
Loved this freezer clean out video! Please do more like this! Your recipes are so simple and look amazing!
I have watched you since the very beginning (when you were still the old name) and I still love all your videos!!
Tortilla chips are great to refresh in the air fryer
I needed this video badly!! Thank you!!
Christine I have stage 4 cancer my cancer, am very weak and lots of pains because cancer has spread everywhere but at the end of the day I still have 2 hungry teens and a husband that need to eat. My 16 year old daughter does most of the cooking how about some easy meals for her to cook with simple recipes that she can cook that are still delicious and healthy 🙏🏼
Everything you make looks so delicious! Thanks for all your great tips ❤
You’re hamming it up girlie
I'm here for the comedy clips!!!
I cut up my spiral ham a few minutes ago. I0 meals for 3 adults. Yesterday we had the second shepherds pie from the freezer with a rotisserie chicken and a kale salad kit. Our guest thought I slaved 😅 over dinner.
That red beans and rice with the left over ham bone. That looked amazing! I definitely want to make that
Oh Danny Kaye!! White Christmas is one of my favourite movies❤🎄
Christine - love the freezer clean out and all the great meal suggestions. I have to say, you are looking buff! Such an inspiration all around, thank you. Will look for you on next week's OrganizedHQ sessions.
Love it!
Love the video 😂❤
