Buy me a coffee to support this channel! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mamabairdsT I’m so thankful to my friend who was …
Thank you everyone! Give me all the ideas!! Please give a HUGE THANKS to my friend who so graciously gave me all this food!
Wow 😲, what a blessing your friend gave you. I hope that you find the room for it all. Have a great day 😊
We eat those ramen bowls with pot stickers for a quick dinner or weekend lunch. You could make those hashbrowns and the mini frittata along with a little milk gravy with sausage grease to top them with and I bet the hubs would eat that up as the gravy would mask the healthy. LOL
Homemade breading flour. Egg wash dip and flour them. Bake with bbq sauce
If it's inspired by 6 to 8 months it's fine. Eating food expired by 2 years I would think twice about it. Please be safe
As long as it is not got a puffy top it's edible. Now if the top is blown up that's when you don't want
Wonton and potstickers. I can eat those every single day. Yes now your friend knows how to shop
Professional organizer here – Be careful just because it’s frozen doesn’t mean it’s OK… Typically after six -12 months there’s already problems (as they were not taken out and packaged properly) and as you open and close the freezer there’s temperature changes so it’s never fully safe
pork belly and corned beef brisket- yummy! you can make home-made bacon with pork belly. Im sure you can find a you tube video for that!
Great haul. I have the same problem as your friend with the fishy smell. You are wonderful for helping her clean it. 💜
Acai is said ASS-EYE-EE. I don't know what an ass eye is, but it doesn't sound pleasant!
You could do some pork belly in the air fryer, roast it in the oven, put slices in a stir fry, or just slice it into strips and fry in the cast iron. Fried pork belly, baked beans, and some hash brown potatoes and dinner is served.
For the pork tenderloin I marinate them in a mixture of soya sauce (1/2 cup) , honey (1/4 cup), fresh garlic (2 tblspn), a pinch of white pepper, and a pinch of ginger. Stir that all together and set aside. Take 6-8 pieces on bacon and wrap around the tenderloin, over lapping so the entire tenderloin is wrapped. Place in in a glass 9×11 baking dish and pour the marinade over top of tenderloin. Marinade for at least 2 hours. Cook in a 350 degree oven until done. Approximately 20 minutes per pound. I usually serve this with rice and fresh vegetables.
Jackfruit is delicious! Yummy
Great for you
Wow wow wow!! That's like $1000 worth of food (or more!) I would of cleaned her freezer just for the 10 pound pork belly and the lamb!
For that big pork belly I would defrost, cut into more manageable sizes, and freeze again. I like pork belly in the crockpot with a mustard sauce or a green chile sauce.
Acai is pronounced uh-sigh 🙂 Dragon fruit has a very very mild flavor. I like it in smoothies or mixed with other fruit. A girl I used to work with ate jack fruit all the time, I tried a bite and thought it tasted bad but maybe it was the way she prepared it. I'll be watching to see what you do with it!
I hope you get alarm for your freezer so if it stops cooling it will let you know.
You might need another freezer girl
That sounds really good butternut squash ravioli. Never heard of them
For the chicken wings you can bbq them in your slow cooker, see recipe on Pinterest; when done you put on sheet pan to crisp up I. Oven. Quick and easy. Have made them and delicious. There are many different recipes.
Wow, what a blessing for you!
Score !! I would had gladly taken all of that food too. Ain't no shame in the crabby smelling bags, Lol.
You’re so cute 😂 the Aflac bowls are pronounced “ah-sigh-ee” (açaí) and I only know this from working at a smoothie shop years ago !
So girl , you were definitely blessed with this frozen food haul. You have an Awesome friend. I love watching your Videos. And little fingers poking holes in the plastic is bound to happen. But it's no big deal. Just put a couple wraps of plastic wrap on the whole pkg. and poke problem solved. Kids will be kids. As far as what to do with all that food .Dig out those Cookbooks and go at it. As you pour over those Cookbooks ideas will come to mind. And by all means have fun. Because we your Viewers will enjoy watching your creations. God Bless You and your family and the Friend whom blessed you with all that freezer food.
Wow!Id love for her to call me!!!!!
Speaking of kids poking holes. When my oldest was 3, he poked a hole in an egg at the grocery store. Thank goodness eggs were cheaper back then. 🥴
Noel over at blue jay acres made some yummy looking wings in the air fryer a little while ago.
Caroline 😊
FYI Jackfruit is what vegetarians and vegans use as a chicken substitute. It’s great for barbecue pulled mock chicken, mock chicken tacos, mock chicken soup and such.
Although it is a fruit, it is not good raw. The same a plantains are best cooked, so is jackfruit. Dragon fruit, however is fantastic sweet and fun!
I think it’s pronounced ahh hee 🤷♀️not positive though
You better load up on baking soda to add to your freezer to neutralize the smell and keep the smell from what you already have in there. What a great score.
Dragon fruit is amazing Jack fruit stinks x goos luck lots love from Scotland 🇬🇧 xx
Me and my friend do this a lot we will go through our freezer and take out anything we bought but haven’t used and don’t fancy it then swap lol so we get to try new things x
I have heard you can can bacon. Since you have an abundance I would consider canning your bacon.
Jackfruit can be substituted for meat as well.
I just made chicken wings last night. I just put them in a foiled cookie sheet, spray a little olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder. Cook on 400 for about 40 minutes. Then turn it up to 450 for another 10 min to crisp them up. I melt some butter and mix them with a little butter and favorite wings sauce. Very easy!
I love your cooking meal videos. Can’t wait to see you make it all!!
How sweet of your friend to gift you all the food I would love that! That would be my Christmas present lol 😆 definitely take advantage of any food being given away you know I wish the grocery stores would donate about 80 percent throw out food.
I would Maybe try to can some of the stuff if it doesn’t fit in your freezer? Wow what a great friend ! I don’t let anything go to waste so I love this video so much!! Your videos are funny and keep me and my daughters smiling 😊
AhhhA-mazingggg 🎉❤❤
What an amazing haul of food! I wonder if you could either use Clorox wipes or maybe just a sink of bleach water to wipe off all the packaging to try and help get rid of the odor? Amazing how when you are least expecting it, God will bless you with the abundance …. Especially when you are willing to do a little work for it! Wish you had your freeze dryer set up, that would’ve helped you preserve some of this! Soon….sooon… lol! Canned meat is the best!
How wonderful!! What a blessing! So excited for yall!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Wow, I can only imagine how much your friend must have spent on those groceries. I never buy the "fancy" freezer stuff or do restaurants or fast food anymore and frankly don't miss it but wouldn't mind trying some of what you're showing. Lol. I love fish myself and don't mind the smell. I do get funny looks or questions when I pick up canned mackerel.
Wow! Such a blessing!
I left a message yesterday but I guess it didn't go through,it was kinda long so maybe that's why.Fresh from the pack or can of ground coffee will get rid of odorsI haven't try it on the freezer but coffee doesn't freeze.Some fish got left in my car once overnight and it was summer ,so you can imagine what my car smelled like.Badddd😀I put coffee where the fish were within just a short while the smell was gone.Awesome gift from your friend ,she truly blessed you.😀♥️Corn beef,love it but haven't had it in a long time it is so expensive..❤️🙏I just noticed I said a can of ground coffee,that was a mistake you don't need a whole can .😀♥️
You could put fresh coffee grounds in your freezer or I believe charcoal is the other item that will absorb some of the smell. A container of kitty litter might work as well.
ETA: I make a soup using the dumplings. I call it a wonton soup but technically it's a dumpling soup. So good.
Whilst it’s a great haul for you; I’m not sure if it was my crab legs freezer smell that I could justify throwing it away (or gifting it to you)
I think I would just have to suck it up (wear a mask maybe?) and wash or repackage everything as so many others have suggested you do.
I don’t think I could throw away my entire freezer contents just because of a smell; the plastic was sealed on the bacon, the beef mince, the fruits & veggies…I would have wiped them & put them back in the freezer once I’d cleaned it. I’m a bit shocked that people throw away food like this, especially frozen as it can’t cross contaminate whilst frozen.
I don’t mean any rudeness or disrespect but I’m rather shocked.
Great for your family tho, looking forward to seeing all your food videos xx
That is AMAZING!!!
Please make a video of how to home can ground beef! I brown 3lbs of it at a time, with green peppers and onions, and freeze it. But, we've had massive power outages 3 summers in a row. That would save so much worry and possible lost money. What a blessing you received! 💜 Can't wait to see what you create with it!
Lol, when I was living in WI the back porch was our overflow freezer at this time of year 😂 bet you could do that in Montana too!
My brother marinates and grills his chicken wings. He does half buffalo, and half bbq. Theyre so good.
What a blessing!
