We have the same number of freezers. Mine are stuffed also. Had pork chop apple bake last night. Having Spaghetti with Italian sausage tonight. Dairy, bread and produce are the only sections I need to go to at the store.
Thank you for this-I’ve followed you since college. With this year marking well over a decade. Question, would you consider sharing a tech tour? I’m curious as someone who works from home (legal field, influencing, etc.) but looking for other ladies that are making the most of their tech space in smaller homes, like me. Thank you for all you do.
I like seeing your ideas and reading the comments for all the different things people do is what's in the freezer 🙂
I love that we are chipping away at our freezer storage, I am finding thing I had forgotten about.
I cleaned out my deep freeze this past late winter. I have some fruits to use up, I plan on some jelly.
So far so good. I haven’t slipped yet. Although there has been temptation. I’m fixing things that I haven’t cooked in a awhile.
Hi Linda. I buy weight watchers and lean cuisine meals too. But I also made some of my own- very, very plain so that I can add whatever flavours I want when I take them out and eat them. I cooked rice, and chicken, cooled them and added frozen veggies to each one. I weighed each portion out. I know exactly how many calories are in each bag, and it’s saving me some money. These homemade freezer meals have helped me lose 27.7 lbs (so far) since January 30 ☺️
I am excited to see your recipes for the week my freezer is full of 3 turkeys and so much more I don't know where to start but I have been using my freezer meats so keep up the good work!!
Luckily I cook for 2 now. I try to stretch my meat as far as possible
Hello Linda, I pulled out difficult kind of beef and made a meal I added small roast and odds and end of beef meat I had in freezer cooked it in the crockpot I added jar zucchini’s and corn and mixed bell peppers and beef broth. It came out delicious. I had alot of meat still leftover and pressure canned for later.
Thank you, Linda
I love this collab
Swiss chard….. is it similar to spinach or kale? I’ve never had it or cooked it
This is a great challenge! My freezers are full as well. I will be following all your videos. Thank you ❤
Week 2 and I made it through the grocery store and didn’t even look in the meat department. 🙌
Took out a pkg of turkey wing flats (I didn't know I had them). Turkey dinner is on the menu today, turkey & gravy on toast, turkey sandwich. Then I'll take out another meat package for the remainder of the week. I buy too much.
Can't wait to see the clam digging video. I have never done that before & I only live 15 mins. from the beach.
When you freeze your rice, is it fully cooked or just partial? That is a great idea! Also, I am now doing the no-buy meat challenge. We decided to do 3 months. Lol, time to use all the meat in my freezer! Lol, By the way, we have two big freezers. It will be a lot of meal planning. 🤦♀
I enjoy seeing how you girls use what is in your freezer. It was “kind of funny” because the week you decided to clean out your freezer I did also. I’m pulling some things out today.
so far so good without buying meat for the freezer 😃
I pulled a whole chicken out of the freezer – one I didn't know I had and made fried chicken for my family! It's working …
Well since I will be regarding my jars. I think ill have a chicken salad today. Then make a ground beef enchiladas tomorrow. I had a jar that didn't seal. I am liking this challenge. I'm just bad on meal planning. Thank you for the inspiration.
This has been a fun challenge so far, thanks for sharing it. I've already gone through 12 pounds of burger with about 28 left to go lol good sales sometimes get out of hand with me.
I'm in I also have 3 freezers and 2 fridge freezers. There so full I don't even know what's there anymore it is time to clean out and rearrange. This is a great challenge! I just took out a turkey it will make lots of meals and broth.
Hello Linda. Hope you had a blessed Mother's Day! I need to do this challenge, my freezers are full with no room to spare at all. Also hoping by not buying any meat for at least 4-5 months I maybe can save to buy half a cow and possibly a pig as well.
I’m cleaning my freezer out also
I’m working on rotating through our freezers too. We have two refrigerator freezers and one upright freezer. Thanks for starting this challenge. 🤗
I love this series. It is full of great ideas.
Thank you, we have only been eating out of the freezer as well l. I normally take a basket to the freezer with me. Makes me hands free.
Thank you!
Oh gosh, Linda! I thought you were going to the dark side…getting rid of meat in your diet. Hahaha! Should have known better 😁
Thank you for sharing
Great ideas!
What a great idea!! Besides lunch meat for the kids, I'm jumping in too!!
You have a good plan for the week. Happy Mother's Day.
Awesome idea
Another excellent week of meals on the way 😊
Wow theres alot of meat to go through. I bet you could go for 1 year with cooking for one. im learning to cook for 2 now the kids are out of the house. Happy Mothers Day.
Will definitely tune in for your clam digging show. I live outside of Seattle and at least twice a year my family would travel to Ocean Shores or Long Beach when the minus tides were at their lowest. Back in the 60's there were no limits so I remember tons of clams being cleaned and ready to take home. Mom made the best fried clams and her clam chowder was just to die for. Also curious if you are friends with Acre's homestead channel. She lives not far from you and I bet you two would become great friends. She does alot of the same things you share.
