Hi! I'm Sharla with Freezer Meals 101 and today I'm doing my very first ever "what's for dinner?"
video. I've been seeing these going around YouTube and I thought it would be interesting for you guys
to see like what the meals actually look like on the days we cook them. I know in my other videos,
I show you how we assemble the freezer meals, how we fill our freezer, all the tips for making that
go faster, but then you don't really get to see like what the meals end up like, so
I thought I would start doing these videos where I show you what we eat in a week and
what the freezer meals actually look like when they're on a plate and how we cook them.
This week, we did Barbecue Pulled Pork and Crack Chicken, both in the slow cooker, both served on
buns... so similar idea, very different taste though. We also did a Chorizo Pasta Sauce which
was actually one of our invention recipes that we made at the end of our freezer meals when we
had some ingredients left over and we just throw things together and see what we can come up with,
so that was one of our invention recipes. We also made Marry Me Chicken and Chicken in a Mango Cream
Sauce. Chicken in a Mango Cream Sauce is one that we've been making for years and years. It's always
going to be a favourite. It's got amazing colour and tastes great and it's just like different, so
I thought I would show you each one of those and how we made them. Okay forget what I said about
the Barbecue Pulled Pork. This is actually Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork um both great recipes, but the
Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork has these peppers in adobo sauce in it and so it gives it a bit of a kick
and that's what makes it one of our favourites. The Dr. Pepper also helps tenderize the meat so
it's just a really really great recipe. I'll put that recipe in the description down below.
You can also watch the day that I assembled that recipe in the video where I made meals for
my niece and her husband who just had their fourth baby. So I made a few extras on that day
as you'll see if you watch that video and kept some for us because this is just such a great
recipe that I could not resist. So on the day of cooking, you put this in the slow cooker, cook it
up, and then shred it and serve it on buns. Now normally I serve it with a homemade garlic mayo,
but this time we were in a rush so I just use like a chipotle garlic mayo from Costco,
put that on the buns and just served it up. Really easy. I didn't have a side dish for
that. That was a day that was just really busy and so we just ate that on its own.
For the Chicken in a Mango Cream Sauce, take that freezer bag out to thaw. It thaws pretty quickly
because it's a thin bag and everything in there is cooked already. Your chicken is already cooked,
so it's just a matter of reheating so it's a really fast one to make.
By the time your noodles are cooked, your chicken is like, your chicken mixture is ready because
you just throw that in a skillet and you cook up some noodles on the side. We always top that with
red pepper flakes and some parmesan or Asiago cheese. It's a really, really,
really flavourful meal, so I highly recommend you give it a try even if you're not one to give new
things a try. I think you'll really enjoy it the Marry Me Chicken. It's one that we chose because
it was February -Valentine's month and it's got such a cute name but it also has amazing flavours
with the sun-dried tomatoes and the cheese and the heavy cream. I mean it's hard to go wrong
when you've got a recipe with heavy cream in it let's just be honest! So that's a really delicious
one. We serve this with roasted zucchini, peppers, and onions and some sautéed mushrooms.
This Chorizo Pasta Sauce was so easy to make. Just heat it up in the skillet,
toss it in from your freezer bag, and then cook your noodles on the side. Serve it with some
cheese on top, red pepper flakes if you like it spicy and it was so good. Just amazing!
So this is the Crack Chicken in the crock pot. I'm just shredding the chicken now.
It's got the bacon in it which you can really smell strongly. It smells a lot of bacon and then
we're supposed to put this on buns with cheese so verdict's still out but that's how it's coming. So
I've slapped the mixture on a bun with some cheese and sliced green onions and we will see what it
tastes like. So it turns out this recipe is a winner. We will definitely be making it again. If
