I love cooking from scratch for my family! Life can get so busy and after a long day of work, I do not always have the energy to cook. Freezer meals and batch cooking save me! If it was not for freezer meals and batch cooking we would eat out way more. Eating out for us now is something for special occasions and by making freezer meals we can still enjoy a home cook scratch-made meal daily! I hope you try it!

I have 5 kiddos including a newborn and I do not have time to dedicate a day to food (although it would be well worth it). I quadruple a dinner recipe 1x a week to fill my freezer slowly. It's a game changer for familier with limited free time

I think it depends on how long you've been cooking. I have been cooking since I was 8 (now 29), I can host 50 people, with multiple courses no problem, but that's because I've been cooking for more than 20 years. It's not about age, it's about experience.

@nancyfotis6283 Год назад

I'm the same but I kind of adapted Becky's freezer meals. I choose 1 thing to make a bunch of and it's not necessarily what I'm making for dinner. I spent 5-6 hours 1 day making my marinated chicken (8 different marinades 49 total dinners) 1 day I spent 4 hours making lasagna with meat sauce (30 dinners) same with baked spaghetti (same amount) it doesn't take my whole day off and you get into a bit of a rhythm. My times are with clean up

@florastewart7957 Год назад

Plan out your meals. 1. Have little disposable dollar tree plastic cups with lids to put your measured condiments in the morning or when you have free time. Your older kids can help measure and do the calculations for a big batch. 2. Marinade meats or poultry ahead of time in a one or two gallon zip lock bag. 3. Cut vegetables and put in bins the morning of. 4. Create a menu. That saves time and money

I am so happy to see all the various cuisines you cook: Thai, Moroccan, Indian, etc. I find so many of the homesteaders and batch cookers on RU-vid make almost exclusively very American recipes so I love the international flavours you work with! Much more in line with what and how I like to cook 🙂

@liannebiggar1557 2 года назад

@@YeshuaKingMessiah they’re really not (expensive and complicated). They CAN be, but so can food from anywhere. But you can buy a jar of butter chicken sauce, for example, for the same price as a jar of pasta sauce most places. Or whip up most middle eastern recipes with common spices most cooks would have in a decent standard spice cabinet. People just cook what they know and many don’t venture outside their comfort zone, so if it’s not something they’re familiar with or grew up eating, they just don’t explore new food. People are of course free to cook and eat whatever they want, and share whatever recipes they want on their channels, I’m just saying I appreciate the diversity she offers here.

A rolling stool is a great idea that I can't believe I haven't thought of for myself.

One way it has changed is that I am no longer able to work. I was the main source of income for our household and the adjustment has been quite challenging. I watch your videos often and today am watching this freezer meal prep video. I planted a very small garden in raised beds and grew tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, jalapeños, basil, dill, cilantro and mint. You have inspired me to try and increase what I grow next year and to be more intentional about what I plant. I am also trying to wrap my head around doing some freezer meals to save money on groceries and eating out. I am often too fatigued to do long tasks but I am hoping to adjust your ideas to my lifestyle and just do some steps and rest and then do more steps.

@dorothyyoung8231 2 года назад

Oh. My. Goodness. Becky and a freeze dryer! I can’t WAIT to see your adventures with that new toy! Two tips to consider for meatballs: • When you mix stuff into ground meat, I find it’s easiest if you mix ALL the other stuff together first (chefs call this a slurry), then add the meat and mix it. It just combines faster and more thoroughly. This is great for meatloaf or burgers, too. • A fast way to portion out meatballs (or cookies) is with a “disher” which looks like a small ice cream scoop. You can get them in all different sizes. It makes quick work of portioning this sort of food into identical-sized portions. Once portioned out you can shape them a bit and you’re good to go!

When I prep my meatballs, I put them in the convection oven on my ventilated Italian Baguette pans with a cookie sheet below. Then freeze them (pre-cooked). (It takes away some of the fat if using a higher fat ratio meat.) They have a nice crust on them that holds up well in a Crock-Pot sauce, or are ready to heat and serve on baked subs. It's so great to see young people enjoying the kitchen!

You are so young but I am learning so much from you and getting so many ideas on how to season and flavor my food. You and Josh are incredible. I am too far away from you but have you ever considered having a day to meet your fans? I would love to shake your hand. Of course, you don't want it too close to your house. You may end up with unwanted, certainly not unwelcomed, visitors. Love you to bits. Thank you so much. By the way, I am turning 69 this year just to give you an idea of who is watching your channel. Oh and congratulations on the new dream home. Happy for you. Awesome!

Glad. I found you today!!!! The day you announce your new HOME! YOU ARE A PRECIOUS YOUNG LADY! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBA ND. I would wish to be you when I grow up but In 71!😍I will enjoy watching your previous videos. A then as you transform your new home. My momma passed away at 46 but she loved canning. Tomatoes, green beans,pickles, etc. I tried each thing once. Including freezer. Strawberry jam. My grandmother. Canned a lot too. My sister did inherit. The same love if gardening and canning! I taught. First. Or second. Grade for 47 and a half years. Gardening sweet little. Ones. As They blossomed each year. Thank you you for sharing the lovely lady you are with us. God Bless.

Everything looks delicious! I know you don’t like using plastic bags, however, if after wrapping in foil you could put each dish in a 2 gallon storage bag or the large storage ziplock bags. That way they can stay in freezer for up to 6 months to prevent freezer burn. They can also be reused multiple times because the bags never come in contact with the food since they are wrapped in foil. That’s what I’ve done in the past with my freezer meals. I say past because I still have not replaced my old freezer yet, but getting a list of freezer meal ideas for when I do. Anyway, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing!

This is also an awesome use for the reusable zipper storage bags.

This is so helpful. I absolutely love your channel. Working FT while running a farm & nursery business is challenging and we find ourselves ordering out after a long day at work and tending to our crops you are an inspiration!! Thank you!!

You are definitely a little hummingbird buzzing from one task to another! I love watching your videos. I used to do lots of freezer meals. Now when I am physically able I do them for my "bad" days when I don't feel like cooking! Thanks for giving me some new ideas! Your shows always make my heart happy! You are a ray of sunshine! Keep spreading your warmth and knowledge to us all!!

The lentils, rice, and onions is mujadarra! It’s one of our favorites with a Greek yogurt sauce. I’ll have to try it with that meatball recipe!

Is there a video for this, sounds amazing!

@RailinX 2 года назад

This is so inspiring! Love seeing all the fresh ingredients and amazing amounts of herbs and seasonings! So many people prepare frozen meals with no salt and pepper, or using canned soups.

@tambouillesmixtures5111 Год назад

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful recipes ! I so wished I had a kitchen with that much counterspace to do as much as this in a single afternoon ! You go girl !

@MushroomFrog444 2 года назад

I definitely wanna start doing this! I live alone, and most of the time, I cant be bothered to cook a full meal for just myself. I end up eating a lot of fast food. So I think this would be great for me! Spend one day cooking, but then have meals for the next month!

@maricelatapia6229 2 года назад

I oftentimes worry that people go wrong by microwaving their food and I was glad to see that your food prep is for the oven and you do stovetop and instant pot preparation. Your energy is amazing. You are so talented and fun to watch. I am a food scientist, I did a study on microwave cooking in school. I like the way that you keep the food nutrients intact by not microwaving, which destroys nutrients and vitamins. I like what you do!

@matthewbrooks1589 2 года назад

I always batch cook as it really does save so much time and love this video. The only thing I would never do is pre cook pasta. It only takes 9-13 minutes (depending on the pasta shape) to cook and is always better than precooked reheated pasta.

@summerzandrew 2 года назад

For chicken tetrizzini the pasta acts more like a gooey layer - it's intended to blend into the creamy sauce, not distinct from it like a traditional pasta meal

@katana364 2 года назад

This is amazing! Complete goals! As of 5mo ago, we are up to an 8 person household, so meal planning is becoming a very big thing! Garden is still in planning, no chicken planned yet, and I just started canning! I'll be frequenting your channel ♡

If you add a paper towel to the canning funnel as a filter when you save the bacon grease, it turns out white and beautiful.

@EvanC881 2 года назад

@lisacrean1224 2 года назад

Wow Becky, that all looked delicious. You have inspired me to get a chest freezer and bulk cook, I cook from scratch aswell but most days. I just started my first raised bed garden here in the west of Ireland, I totally understand the satisfaction of your pasta sauce all being home grown and love how real you are with your glass of red ;) keep on brightening our days xx Lisa

@AcreHomestead 2 года назад

Wow Lisa!! I'm so excited for you! Thank you for sharing with me!

@maurakalafut2057 2 года назад

Wow - Western Ireland? What a beautiful part of the world. Got to visit there a couple of years ago and travel to central Ireland to see where my GM was born (1898) and to meet several family members who are still there. I have a raised garden in N.GA (USA) and am planning to expand it next spring/summer and put crops in the ground. Happy cooking!

@diananoonen2262 2 года назад

If you make a multi herb tomato sauce with sauted onion and garlic- it is wonderful in soups and stews. When I cook herbs, garlic and onion is the foundation of most of my recipes. That will be a game changer for sure.

@cajewa-ek4uw Год назад

WOW! I don't think I've ever seen a more organized person. You are amazing.

@missourigirl4101 2 года назад

@stephaniemartin4403 2 года назад

So you have inspired me! 2 things: 1. I have started keeping my eyes peeled for glass pans to replace using metal ones. I got my first one today at Goodwill! 2. I am starting to get meals in the freezer and some food preservation! 6 chicken meals in marinade in the freezer today. Green onions were on super sale at the store today. I chopped the onion part and made pesto with the green tops! 😁

@wintergreen1162 2 года назад

I haven’t bought green onions since the 90s. I take any store bought onion, cut off the root end, plant them. They grow scallions, and they grow every year. Just don’t pull them out of the ground-just snip them with scissors, and they will grow back 2 or 3 times again over the summer. I chop them up and dry them under the sun, and freeze bags of them for scrambled eggs. I do the same with the cloves of garlic. I chop off the little hard stem from each clove, and plant them. They only seem to grow 1 time per summer, but I mix the green part with chives and onions & dry them together. I put them in jars, and cook with them.

Mom of six here and I just found your page this week. I love that you home grow all your produce and store it. Super inspirational I’m gonna try some of it! And my kids would totally love helping doing things like this.

@skyimp11 2 года назад

I don't know if anyone else has said this but we use a wire cooling rack on a sheet pan to bake greasy things like bacon. It allows all of the grease to drip off and you won't have to pat dry the bacon as well as allowing you to collect the grease. We use this method with a foil covering and water below to steam Japanese dumplings in the oven as well.

@jadriennesukhovetska7844 Год назад

Just wanted to say thanks for what you’re doing! I’m a mom of 4 with one on the way, and we have been trying to eat out less and also are on some specific diet restrictions. This was the first video of yours that I watched, and since have watched many more. Your ideas, fortitude, methods, and recipes have inspired me so much. We started doubling and freezing recipes and I was shocked by how much we could put away just a little at a time. A thousand thanks!!
