Hi I'm Sharla with Freezer Meals 101. Welcome to this week's edition of what's for dinner I'm going
to take you through and show you how I transformed our Freezer Meals into our family's dinners
so if you are looking for how we made the Freezer Meals in the first place I'm going to put a link
right up there and I will also link at the end of the video to a video of how my neighbour Christie
and I made all of these meals over the course of two days we did 126 meals and uh now it is awesome
to be able to just go and order from my freezer so we had a lot of variety in the last week
so the first thing that we had was the cajun sausage and veggie sheet pan meal I'm really
starting to love sheet pan meals and we're making more and more of them as Freezer Meals because
it's so convenient and creates less dishes which I always am a fan of and this particular time I
threw on the sheet pan some double stuffed baked potatoes that I got at the farmer's market and
those were also from the freezer now I have to tell you because I'm excited about this
but in a month or so Christie and I are gonna get together and we're gonna do a video for you
on making double stuffed baked potatoes for the freezer we're gonna make a bunch of different
kinds we're gonna experiment and that way I don't have to buy them from the farmer's market anymore
because I have been doing that for the last year or so when I discovered this place that has them
and they're really delicious but they are a lot pricier when I buy them that way so we're gonna
start making our own we're gonna experiment with a few different recipes and of course when we find
the best one then we'll be able to share that with you guys in the Freezer Meals 101 club the link
for that is down below but back to what we had for dinner so that night we did our um cajun sausage
and veggie sheet pan and then just on the side again only using that one pan I put the double
stuffed baked potatoes so that made for a very full meal those potatoes were like filled with
cheese and bacon and jalapeños so really hard to go wrong with that it was all really delicious and
we had not one little thing left on the sheet pan it was all devoured next thing that we had this
week was the sausage tortellini skillet I love that that one is so easy to put together just
thought put it in the skillet um I actually hadn't thought it as well as I should have
but it still worked out uh and then we just add a tiny bit of water and cook that up the tortellini
cooks up right in the skillet and everything's in there you've got your your vegetables with
the peppers and onions and you've got um the tortellini are filled with cheese so you've got
you know your dairy represented and you've got the grains with the pasta and then the sausage so
you've got protein so that is kind of an all-in-one nice meal uh we usually top that
with some asiago or parmesan cheese and some red Chili flakes because we like things spicy
now it's really hard to go wrong with spaghetti our family always loves spaghetti it's always
gonna be a hit so one night we did pull out the spaghetti sauce from the freezer and just had
spaghetti and garlic bread and caesar salad and that is always always going to be a favourite
now breakfast for supper used to be something I made before I started doing Freezer Meals
when I'd be panicked that I had forgotten to even think about what we were going to have that night
so breakfast for supper used to be something that I kind of thought of in a negative way
because it was out of desperation that I would do it but now when we have breakfast for supper
it's because we want to and I love that I love that Freezer Meals have given me that freedom
and that now I'm choosing to do breakfast for supper because we like the flavours and we like
the comfort and it's just something fun to do once in a while so I took out a hash brown casserole
from the freezer and cooked that up in the slow cooker that's a nice way to just have it ready
I put that in around lunchtime and it was ready for dinner and then I had I made some little
omelettes and bacon and so we just had a really simple but good breakfast for supper that night
and then the last thing that we had this week was beef stroganoff again this is one that we make
all the time you guys are probably sick of hearing about beef stroganoff but every time we
make Freezer Meals we always make six of them so three for our family three for Christie's family
so we have them often and actually that night Christie's daughter was over here for supper
and um she had drawn on the bags when we were doing the Freezer Meals we ran out of
labels for those and so she had just drawn on there like made with love and so it was
kind of cute that she happened to be over that night and I showed her that I had taken
out her bag of beef stroganoff and she got a kick out of that so that we always serve on egg noodles
again because I like the kick I do add some red Chili flakes or red pepper flakes on top of that
um just on individual bowls because not everybody likes it I do um heat up the beef stroganoff
in the skillet and then I add some extra sour cream um towards the end of it cooking and then
serve it over the egg noodles and that's it so that is a very very simple one this next week
we are super excited to try some of the new to us recipes that we made the recipes that we had
this past week were recipes that we've you know the tried and true ones that we've had before
but this next week coming up we are going to be trying more of the new recipes and so I'll let
you know how those go I'm gonna put the video right here of us making the Freezer Meals so
you can check that out if you missed it and thank you for joining me today happy cooking.
