Hey there! This is soooo nice of you to put together. Honestly SO appreciated! Am I correct that I should be buying a total of 44lbs of chicken legs / quarters? I see 20lb wings or drummies and then 24lb leg quarters in the shopping list. I am sorry if you answered that sort of up above, but I still can’t quite figure it out. THANKS!!!

In reply to Jen.

I’ve done freezer recipes that I’ve cut in half — well, made the whole recipe, then froze in two or three quart size bags. I also got a smaller crock pot to cook the meals in as it seemed they dried out in the large crock pot. I just cook for two and we aren’t good at eating leftovers, so it works better to freeze in smaller amounts — the bonus is that you end up with twice or three times as many meals!

I love this idea and would love to try it. Do you have one that is nightshade/tomato free? I am allergic to tomatoes/nightshades and so many recipes have them. If you don’t have one, would you be willing to come up with one? I know THM has recipes without tomatoes, and it would be great to be able to make and fill my freezer with meals I can safely eat. There must be other TRim Healthy Mamas in my shoes. Nightshades (tomato, potato, peppers, orca, eggplant) cause problems for most people with Celiac Disease.
Thanks you and I hope you will consider it. Blessings, Kathleen

In reply to Sarah Mainardi. Sarah, that's so great! Thank you so much for the feedback! I make a ton of rice and freeze the leftovers in single serve portions (3/4 of a cup) to eat for the next several months. It helps so much and thaws pretty quickly. I'm so sorry about the chicken quarters! I often see them at Kroger but you never know what will be available.

Thanks so much for this! My mom and I worked together and had a blast! Definitely helpful to have an extra pair of hands!
1) I couldn’t find chicken quarters at Kroger or walmart! We used bone in skin on thighs.
. Hoping for the best.
2) I cooked a two pound bag of rice (the shopping list called for 2.5 lbs.) And ended up with a ton left over. Did I miss something? I only used rice in the cowboy grub.

This was my first foray into freezer prep and you made it so ready and doable!!! Thank you

In reply to Dee. Hi Dee! I'm glad it was useful for you! I'm sorry if it took a little longer; I tried to explain in the post that some people did it faster and it took a little longer for some. Thanks for trying it out! I hope you like them!

I spent about 4 hours putting this together today. I could trim some time off by using lemon juice vs squeezing 9 lemons. I am new to THM and have never done any of these recipes. This could be why I was slow. I did do everything suggested (Thanks Jen) on the guide and the shopping/menu list were invaluable! Now I can’t wait to try some of these recipes. My husband is excited too!
