Hi there, This week for our meals, I cooked a meal each night to eat and then froze the remaining meal to build up my freezer meals instead of having leftovers. This is an easy way to build up your freezer meals for those busy days when you know you don’t have time to cook. I filmed all four recipes. I hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching! Hugs, Shelly

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Loved this video, and would appreciate
    any others like it that you would want to do. I really like that you not
    only show the ingredients needed and exactly how to cook the meals, but you
    also gave extra little tips and tricks as well. Your videos are the best!

    Loved this video all the meals looked so good! I have never done any
    freezer meals but that is my goal to start working on some because we will
    be having our 2nd child in August and this would be really helpful!

    MY KITCHEN GIRL!!! the crack chicken looked amazing and I got so many

    Wonderful ideas/how to vlog! Just an idea that I use: You can use a dry
    erase marker to label your containers, it will stay on, but also wipe off
    when you’re ready to wash your container.

    Great great video, love the recipes too. I think I’m going to do the same
    but with the baked ziti I think I will do it in 2 smaller casserole pans
    and freeze one of them before cooking in the oven. I’m also going to once
    put in the freezer write it into my filofax for a day in the next couple of
    weeks so I make sure we eat it.
    then when I do my weekly shopping list for that week, all I have to do is
    make sure I get the sides ready.
    Yes please do some more videos like this. Going to try the beef carnitas. I
    know my family would love them. Just need to find something similar to the
    skirt steak here in Australia.
