I don't know if you remember but I told you I made about 3 weeks worth of freezer meals for a friend with cancer. She and her partner love your vegan red lentil orange curry, your spaghetti sauce, your chicken fried rice and your chilli the best. We all really appreciate your recipes. My friend is Christian so she would really appreciate your prayers if you are Christian, or even if you're not a Christian, I've said a Mi Sheberach for her. Her name is Carolyn.

So I think I shop at the same Supermarket as you. My experience is about the same. It is a help to me since my husband is not well so I still use it but it can be frustrating. I never get substitutions but then they only have a few of my selections. Everyone else loves it. Go figure. The contraption for pickles is sold on Amazon. Also, one must never wash pasta. Just have the sauce or dressing ready to coat it. Trust me on this one. I did comment on it once before but I know of no Italian descent person who rinses pasta. Never.

The Sriracha Cauliflower Chickpea sheet pan is sooo yummy! I made one for now and 2 for later! The only request was for more of everything and more cauliflower! I’m going to buy the frozen cauliflower huge bag and make this! Chickpeas we’re so good too! I think you could add other veggies like red pepper as well. Day of you could use any veg you needed to use up! This meal is making me get labels so I can print them from the club. I don’t want to write that many bags 😅

My husband is going on deployment, and currently, he is gone for a month for annual training. He comes home for 10 days, and then he is gone for 15 months. We do not have children, so I have no one to "cook" for, and I am not good at cooking just for two when he is home. I want to eat well and stay healthy while he is gone, but after taking care of the animals and the garden and working 8-10 hours, I find myself just eating cheese, apples, and crackers every night. Thank you for helping me get out of this rut! Honestly, this was the last thing I thought about...food for me, LOL

Yes! I (Christie) am 5'8" and prefer to stand at the kitchen counter. I am too tall to comfortably work at my kitchen table for a long time, but if I sit, I find my arms get sort of sore, so I end up using my tall kitchen stool and it helps a bit if I need a perch for awhile. Sharla is 5 feet even, I think. She just grins and bears it. She's tough!

I recently saw a facebook post where someone asked if they rinsed their mushrooms. It was mostly 50/50 if they did or didn't, but there was a small collection of us that agreed that peeling was the way to go. I also have to peel them! Luckily, I love them, so it's not as much of a sacrifice. haha You're a good person to do that for your partner!

My heart died a little when you threw the chicken bones into the garbage can. I set those aside, cool, and then pick out the good chicken to add to my soup. And girl, you left way too much meat on the bones.
@FreezerMeals101
@FreezerMeals101 11 күн бұрын
While it's probably best to make the chicken stock and pick them absolutely clean, that is sometimes a lot more work than someone can muster. We've definitely done it in past videos but it's also ok to do as much as you can do and not feel guilty about the bones in the garbage once in a while. We try our best to show real life. Sometimes we make the chicken stock and sometimes we don't. Both ways are ok. There is room for every kind of home cook on our channel. Sorry your heart died a little but I'm sure you understand.

It's a lot of work to wash the little blades of the chopper for only one or two onions. Onion seems to stick so badly. So sometimes it's just easier to use a knife for small jobs.
