    This is also great to do as soon as you get that positive pregnancy test to prep for the harder weeks of the first trimester. ❤️

      Exactly what I was thinking!!

      Such great advice. I'm pregnant with my third and in the hard stage of the first trimester. I definitely had this thought this week! I will be doing this with any pregnancies going forward!!

    I’ve watched a lot of freezer meal videos, and this one was by far the most helpful. You have some really great ideas that I’m excited to try! And the casual addition of snow gear made me lol for real 😂

    Katie, I’m pretty sure you are superhuman!! I love how disciplined and intentional you are with your homemaking duties. You inspire me! Keep up the great work and the helpful media 💜 God bless you, Elisha and your precious 5 kiddos!

    You cook very similarly to me so I appreciate this! I am generally an “everything from scratch” chef, so I do a lot of meal prep like this for my family. 🥰

    Muffin trick is honestly genius! I was worried about how/where I was going to store a ton of muffins but now I can store more than I was even planning on making! Lol

  • @creativereindeer
    @creativereindeer ปีที่แล้ว

    Hehe we have the same sense of humour regarding the snow gear! Also this is one of the healthiest meal prep videos I’ve ever seen coming out of ‘murica! Thanks!! I’ve been on the hunt for some new recipes! Cheers :)

  • @lenafreeze7131
    @lenafreeze7131 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I totally agree about eating cooked freezer meals or the same recipe way to many time, just isn’t great and then waste your efforts!
    Great ideas! I’ll definitely try some!
    Just need to get in a habit of remembering to take it out soon enough. That’s my main problem with these kind freezer meals.

  • @tierzahammond8921
    @tierzahammond8921 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love these ideas! I have used almost all the tips, I have a good 25 meals in the freezer now. I'm 38 weeks with baby #4!

  • @kristihurst4853
    @kristihurst4853 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a very different approach. I do a lot of freezer meals (we have 3 kids in less than 3 years) and this was very helpful! Space is always an issue. And I LOVE the biscuit idea!

    Thank you for this video it is so helpful. I don't know if you do a tour of your pantry and fridge and how you organize in stock things, and what you buy, I just saw a glimpse of it in this video, and I would love to see more. I'll go ahead and look around to see if you've already posted a video like that but if not, that would be awesome to watch!

  • @KimKi-g4r
    @KimKi-g4r ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @FerrisFamRanch

    I’m so thankful for this video! I’m 34 weeks with baby #2. I have been kinda concerned about what to do for postpartum meals (it’s been almost 6 years since my last baby) we moved to a more remote area in Idaho where “meal train,” door dash, hello fresh etc are not available. I’m a home cook but I just didn’t know really where to start. Thank you for the tips, recipe suggestions and motivation! I can do this!
    Blessings from Idaho City ❤

  • @mamagrahams9943
    @mamagrahams9943 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is genius! I always feel ahead of things when I have quick lunches in the freezer pre made for my kids. But this method of having a lot more *half made meals is 🤯. I can’t wait to utilize this great idea. Thanks!

  • @taylorcoyne2240

    @christinat.7264 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great ideas. Your recipes sound delicious. What worked for me was crock pots/instant pot and following recipes (I didn't have to think about it). But, loved seeing what you do. Whatever makes your life easier and it's healthy. 😊

  • @marilynpetersen9115

    Great suggestions ! Thank you ❤ I’m due with our 5th at the end of August so I’ve been trying to look ahead and do what I can to take work out of the following months by prepping ahead. Just put all the kids fall clothes in a container at the top of each of their closets . Feels good getting these things done.

    • @mrs.t4382
      @mrs.t4382 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, I am also due in August. I was just thinking about their fall clothes yesterday and making it super easy.

    How do you find the time to do all the prep? What is occupying the kiddos for the hours it takes to do all of this prep and clean up?

    • @audreypichot8371
      @audreypichot8371 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      She said for most of the recipes she just doubles or triples the recipe while she makes dinner. If you already have all the ingredients out it doesn’t take much longer or any extra cleanup.

  • @HeartRawArt
    @HeartRawArt ปีที่แล้ว +1

    From a genuine place of curiosity and health consciousness do you think there might be a more sustainable and less plastic chemical-y alternative to the zip lock bags ? Thanks so much for yet another great vid.

    • @tierzahammond8921
      @tierzahammond8921 ปีที่แล้ว

      I freeze a lot in mason jars. Cool then in the fridge first and leave at least an inch of headspace. You cannot fit nearly as much though. I also use her Ziploc filing system to get more in.

    • @airlerina3622
      @airlerina3622 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ive read into it a bit and decided to go for stasher zip lock bags.. they are made from silicone, not PEVA (which is also toxic apparently ) - but priceyyyyy... They have bf deals ATM though so I did an order and see how it goes. So far I've been freezing in glass containers and dishes, but more organisation in the chest freezer would be great, so I really wanna give that filing system a go 😅
