    Fantastic video Mindy! Really loved most of the ideas. I used to do the rotessirie chickens as well but now I cook it in my instant pot. I did not know you could freeze aluminum pans? 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!

    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

    Love these meals! I've been trying to freezer cook for years but always get too overwhelmed. These ideas seem doable for me! Just one question – as someone from the UK I've never made biscuits so how would I serve them? Thanks so much for the inspiration x

    I’m having a baby in October and I am so making this all! Thank you for the ideas! This will make it easier on us for the first few weeks! My husband is a firefighter and we already have a toddler so this will make things so much easier!

    I love your channel and your Dollar Tree and grocery store challenges. They are great! You have a lot of good ideas. Unfortunately, I am unable to eat the meals made for these challenges because processed foods and meats are a definite no no!! I am stage 2 renal failure, so I am on a low sodium, potassium, phosphorus and protein meal plan. It's not as difficult as it might seem. I have to keep daily records of what I eat for meals and snacks as well as what I drink. Admittedly, it is time consuming to create, put recipes together and calculate the amount of each food or dish; for each item, I record saturated fat, calories, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, carbs, sugar and protein. Yes, there's a lot to it and you have to pretty much be diligent, determined and just do it. I've discovered most kidney diet recipes found on Pintrest, Google or most websites and Renal failure cookbooks are not always suitable for me. They aren't always budget friendly, so I've created multiple meals for breakfast, lunch ,dinner and fruit dishes and desserts. And, I have also discovered many foods, candy and snacks i can eat. I'm so thrilled!! when I discover a new thing. And, yes, you can eat out. You just have to be selective about your choices and eat low numbers for your other foods for that day..But, every now and then, I totally cheat! A couple of pieces pepperoni pizza or a Wendy's jr bacon cheeseburger or maybe a taco. But, you can't do it that often. Like I said, to do this consistently and keep as accurate account of each item, is a lot to it. But, the health benefits make it well worth the time and effort; since I have REVERSED from high-end stage 4 to stage 2 in only about 8 months. But, the good news is!! I've been working on a couple challenges for people who are on this type of meal plan. I haven't gotten a $10 one for 21 meals for people on a renal or heart lifestyle choice. But, I have come up with 1 for about $12 for 1 person using fresh and frozen veggies and a little fruit without using any processed foods or meats. But, you CANNOT use regular table salt and no salt substitute and stuff like seasoning packages are out!!!potassium count is ridiculously high! So, a list of about $6
    from Walmart. At a $1 each garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and gv worchestershire sauce and for $1.98 2.5 0z McCormick corse Himalayan pink salt which has zero or very little potassium. Use the salt and w. sauce limited amounts but tons of the other spices to make flavorful foods.
    Having butter or margarine for fats. If I could, I'd like to put together my own cookbook to make a meal plan lifestyle choice for others like me to be easy and simple as well as budget and time friendly.

    I freeze cookie dough balls too! So convenient!! It's a lot better for portion control when I can just bake 2 or 3 cookies at a time versus 2 dozen! 🤣 I'm addicted to your channel!!

    this gave me some ideas💡 for back to school and meal prep this month ! I don’t usually do freezer meals because I never know what to make but will give a few of these a try! Especially the biscuits and cookies. I’ve made a few of your recipes and love your stuff so far.
