I’m number five of ten kids , lots of fun , pajama party every night , five boys five girls alternating, we all helped with meals and house work , we all took it in stride , you can tell you’re very calm , probably with lots of patience , 😊
@PJL…. I know I miss it as well ! That’s why I have my girls (who are now 22 and 27) come and help with meal prep and cooking for Thanksgiving/Christmas and Easter it brings back all those precious times and memories and also builds new ones with them as adults! Something about cooking with your girls in the kitchen is just so special…with all the smiles laughing talking and just that time together is just priceless. 💖😊
WOW WOW WOW‼️😳 YOU AND ELSIE REALLY ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH‼️ This is gonna be such a blessing and help to you those 1st few weeks after the birth when you are more sleep deprived and recovering and just having that beautiful bonding time between mama and baby. I know having a empty house really helped speed up the process cause you weren’t having to stop in between to help little ones and Elsie staying behind to help you was such a blessing…and Jason saved the day by taking everyone! It was so smart of you to do a lot of it sitting down. When I’m making a more drawn out meal or prep I always try to remember to sit down while doing it…. Because I have back issues due to a wreak I was in years ago. Because standing for long periods of time really tends to do a number on my back. Sitting can make all the difference in the world. I can’t believe the due date is finally almost here! I am sending out something from Amazon today and I hope Jason will be able to get it at the PO before baby gets here. I meant to send it earlier but the Hollidays just side tracked me and I just kept forgetting and now your due date is almost here. I am praying 🙏🏻 that everything goes beautifully and smoothly with no complications to mother or baby and that recovery is also speedy and smooth and that everyone in your family stays healthy. So so happy for all of you! BTW I just love the meal prep videos I could watch these all day! You’ve given me some great ideas! 💕 💐
Great job, well done you 2, Elsie is such a star nice work ,Now rest, put your feet up,with a cold drink of water Thank you for sharing your busy day ❤
By the way, one also can get very large zip locks or slider bags that are approximately twice as large. I keep one box of them in case they’re needed. I love your system for freezer meals and recipes!
I will be doing that next time! I forgot all about those when I was preparing. I’m thinking I need to do freezer meal prep days more often! Even if I’m not pregnant.
I’m so glad you were able to do this! It’s very thoughtful of you to not take your children for granted! They could make all the meals for you but you didn’t want them to have to do it!! I’m glad Elsie stayed home to help! I also like to use baked beans in my chili I like it sweeter too! My dad used a can of pork and beans in his recipe but one time I didn’t have a can but did have a can of baked beans and liked that better!! Good luck you’re so close!!
37 weeks over here with baby #6 and loving the videos as I can get all these projects done right along with you. I'm trying to tackle one room or project every day and rest when it's necessary. Today I was using an office rolly chair to declutter my boys room;-))) Praying for you!
Great job and thanks to Elsie for helping her mom! So excited for you all! Julie, take it easy and I am sending you hugs and blessings. P.S. I am making the lemon garLic chicken and making 2 freezer meals of it. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Put your bag in a big bowl, fold the top down, keeps the seal clean, the bowl will should catch anything that spills and keep it from falling over! Have fun with new baby❣️
Something I’ve found helpful is to go ahead and drizzle with EVOO/coconut oil/melted butter. It helps to move all the spices and garlic around in the bag and coat the meat. And it helps to marinate as it thaws. 🙌🏻
I'm definitely with you on the taste of the pre-chopped garlic, I just don't like that taste of it I would rather take that extra step and peel and chop my own
Because I live alone my meal prep is way less strenuous than yours. However, as an older woman with periodic back pain, trigger fingers, sciatica, arthritis - I look for easy ways to make meals. You are correct a Can of mixed Veggies for times you can not chop is a great idea as is Minced Garlic, Diced Tomatos for Soups, Sauce, Stirfries etc, Chopped frozen Broccoli, already Chopped Mushrooms can be a splurge as well as frozen chopped Onion but it works and makes getting nutritious meals faster so I often use these items
I ❤️ this! I never learned how to cook and have had to teach myself over the years. And I have limited recipes I use. And waay too often rely on sauces in a jar. But this is awesome. (I was given some organic,grass fed beef ribs and I marinated them in Stubbs original bbq sauce. Then slow cooked them in the oven. Wowza! Tasted amazing. I'll have to use drumsticks next time.) I'd also like some snack/easy lunch ideas as well. Prayers for a safe delivery and healthy baby. And a speedy recovery for mumma.❤️🙏
I make a lot of meals with tomato products. If you are using tomato sauce and canned tomatoes use the juice from the tomatoes to clean your cans of sauce.
Years and years ago my mom cut out off the newspaper for Aztec chili and it is a family favorite. I have tweaked it over the years. You add corn and brown sugar. I make huge batches in the crockpot. Also the egg prices finally went up here in Cincinnati. I paid $6.48 for 18 store brand eggs.
I would love a video by you or even your kiddos who love to cook on your smoothie tips and how to make them. I am completely lost and feel overwhelmed by this for some reason. 🤣 I want to get this going in my life for mornings especially. (This is Hope from the homeschool group I changed my name for better safety) Enjoy that new baby! ❤️
Wow! You are amazing! I think you might be baby ready! You literally look like you could pop!! I’m hoping for a healthy girl! I’m going to guess about a 10 pounder🤷🏼♀️ ! Prayers for a speedy and safe delivery!!
Great video.. I do not like to cook as a household of one. People always tell me cook one pot of something and divide into small one meal portions, I have just started trying this out,
Thats awesome! I'm definitely inspired! I'm so ready for our appliances to be delivered so the girls and I can try out making some of these freezer meals. Excited to see if baby is a boy or a girl 😁
Did you know that you can get maple syrup from any kind of maple tree. It's just that ot takes a lot more maple trees to get the same amount of syrup as it does if you have a sugar maple tree. The time to tap in Missouri is middle of January to middle of February, I read. Not sure of the process once you collect the sap. I think you boil it down.
Yes we’ve watched some videos on tapping but unfortunately we don’t have enough mature maple trees to make it worth the work/time it would take. Maybe one day 😄
the oily flavour of the preminced garlic was my turn off i thought it would help but i couldnt stand the taste so i gave it to the neighbors they loved it ........i love fresh garlic there is a farm near me and i buy the seconds of garlic about a 1/2 basket and sit and peel it all put in containers and put in freezer for cooking and leave a bunch out for fresh eating in salads and stuff have a great week hugssss
The minced garlic in the jar does not taste great... I recently discovered one that comes in a squeeze bottle with a little olive oil and its great just like fresh garlic
Watching you I was like... well she is measuring two tablespoons of garlic WITH A FORK. Then she is moving to two tablespoons of lemon juice... with a fork, that souds tricky ! I need to watch this 😂
@@jasonandjulie Oh my goodness I had no idea I was on the huge girl team. LOL We'll just have to wait and see. Take your time for the announcement, though. Recovery is key. Good luck on you mama!
That's ok there's alot of UTUBE MOMS, that don't measure either..Yeck, some ssf o, some don't. Pending what it is... Great to prep ahead, especially at a time when all is so exciting , yet stressful...
I know a lot of people who tap trees and make maple syrup here in Wisconsin. Want me to check into prices for you? I could bring some down the next time I visit mom.
I’m number five of ten kids , lots of fun , pajama party every night , five boys five girls alternating, we all helped with meals and house work , we all took it in stride , you can tell you’re very calm , probably with lots of patience , 😊
Freezer meals are THE BEST! I find meals the hardest thing to manage with lots of kids, and not having to think about supper relieves so much stress!!
Yes it was a great help! I’ll be doing another freezer meal day for sure
What a productive day you and your sous chef put in! I miss the days of cooking with my daughter...who is now 38! Prayers for a blessed delivery day!
@PJL…. I know I miss it as well ! That’s why I have my girls (who are now 22 and 27) come and help with meal prep and cooking for Thanksgiving/Christmas and Easter it brings back all those precious times and memories and also builds new ones with them as adults!

What a Blessing your children have with you as their mother! Holding you up in prayer.
Thanks Kathy
Well done Elsie, helping your mother.
Elsie is such a sweet heart, your little mini you she loves helping momma out ❤❤❤
Wow, that was a lot to do while pregnant! Good thing you had such a great helper, she was awesome. 😊❤
Great job, Elsie! She's learning so much. Yeah for Jason taking the rest of the gang. Get some well deserved rest, Julie. Blessings to you all.
Thanks friend! ❤️
What a great helper you have there. So glad Jason got the children out of the house. Great work!! God Bless!
Julie as always you are amazing and really helps to just have Elsie as your sou 👩🍳.
Prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🥰
Now time to rest ! Great job and kudos to Elsie ! What a great help ❤

Thank you!
Y'all did a great job. Those are a blessing to have. Can't wait to see baby # 10.
Good job mom and Elise, hard work, but pays off! That baby will be here soon! Prayers for you Julie!
What a great production! So glad you showed us your process. Blessings to you and your family.
I can’t wait to hear you have had #10! 💕 Great, planning ahead!! ❤️🥰
Great job, well done you 2, Elsie is such a star nice work ,Now rest, put your feet up,with a cold drink of water Thank you for sharing your busy day ❤
Your daughter is such a big help!!!!
By the way, one also can get very large zip locks or slider bags that are approximately twice as large. I keep one box of them in case they’re needed. I love your system for freezer meals and recipes!
I will be doing that next time! I forgot all about those when I was preparing. I’m thinking I need to do freezer meal prep days more often! Even if I’m not pregnant.
I'm busy binge watching your videos! Just discovered your channel and I'm loving it. I'm 35 weeks pregnant now with my 3rd.
Welcome! And congratulations too. How exciting! 😄
Such a sweet helper.
Great meals. Love it! Can't wait to meet baby.
What a great helper and company while you go like crazy. Enjoyed the share
Way to go Krekes! Blessing, Julie!! Hugs from Sarah Marie L in Moms Group. Excited for you! ❤
Thank you friend! 🥰

Wow!!! Elsie is a lot of help. My granddaughter's pregnant I think I might make her a few of these recipes
37 weeks over here with baby #6 and loving the videos as I can get all these projects done right along with you. I'm trying to tackle one room or project every day and rest when it's necessary. Today I was using an office rolly chair to declutter my boys room;-))) Praying for you!
That’s a great plan! 👏🏻👏🏻 and the office chair is genius!
The lemon garlic chicken seems so simple, and I bet it'll be delicious! I plan to try this soon 😊 Prayers for a great delivery.
Thank you!
God bless you and your beautiful family!
Great job and thanks to Elsie for helping her mom! So excited for you all! Julie, take it easy and I am sending you hugs and blessings. P.S. I am making the lemon garLic chicken and making 2 freezer meals of it. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Glad to hear that! The “chicken” pack of recipes where I found those sounded so easy and interesting
Put your bag in a big bowl, fold the top down, keeps the seal clean, the bowl will should catch anything that spills and keep it from falling over! Have fun with new baby❣️
Blessings to New Baby and Family 🙏🙏🙏. I’m new to your channel, and so glad I found you 🥰
Wow you’ve covered a lot of meals…great job! I only to cook for two and have trouble deciding what to make…meal prep is the way to go.
Yes I think I need to do more of these freezer meal prep days! If I do it often it’ll be even easier I’m sure
Good work from momdaughter, your family will enjoy the delicious meals.
Wow great job! Wonderful you had such a awesome helper…great job Elsie😀
You are amazing and your daughter is so cute and clever.❤
Holy moly Julie! I can’t believe it’s so close. Love your family. Love your Vlogs!
Thanks Claudette!
The Chilli and BBQ chicken sound delicious!
Something I’ve found helpful is to go ahead and drizzle with EVOO/coconut oil/melted butter. It helps to move all the spices and garlic around in the bag and coat the meat. And it helps to marinate as it thaws. 🙌🏻
That’s a good tip!
Job well done! You two are a great team!!❤❤❤
Great job prepping for the freezer!
I'm definitely with you on the taste of the pre-chopped garlic, I just don't like that taste of it I would rather take that extra step and peel and chop my own
These will be so helpful! We didn't eat them every night after Bethany, but having something for when I didn't feel like cooking was so helpful
Yes we do the same! It’s just nice knowing you have some “meal help” in the freezer
Because I live alone my meal prep is way less strenuous than yours. However, as an older woman with periodic back pain, trigger fingers, sciatica, arthritis - I look for easy ways to make meals.

You girls were on fire!! Way to get er done! ♥️🙏
New to your channel, great stock up for freezer. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing Julie 👏👏👏

I'd also like some snack/easy lunch ideas as well. Prayers for a safe delivery and healthy baby. And a speedy recovery for mumma.❤️🙏
Oh that sounds delicious. I could go for some ribs right now 😆

(This is Hope from the homeschool group I changed my name for better safety) Enjoy that new baby! ❤️
I like your name change! It’s fun!
I was thinking about doing a Zoom call with the moms group ladies just for fun. I could talk smoothies there 😄
You and Elise did a great job together
Can’t wait hope your got your feet up for a few hours good luck thinking of you love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Wow! You are amazing! I think you might be baby ready! You literally look like you could pop!! I’m hoping for a healthy girl! I’m going to guess about a 10 pounder🤷🏼♀️ ! Prayers for a speedy and safe delivery!!
Thank you!!
So nice to have freezer meals!
I'm going to do the make one to eat and one for later thats a awesome idea.
Great job, ladies. Hard work up front; easy eating later on!
Great video.. I do not like to cook as a household of one. People always tell me cook one pot of something and divide into small one meal portions, I have just started trying this out,
That’s a great idea
That’s what I do. Shopping delivery one day and cook in bulk the second day making lots of one person portions for the freezer.
I agree, fresh garlic is so much better than the kind in the jar! God bless your birth. ❤
Thank you!
Thats awesome! I'm definitely inspired! I'm so ready for our appliances to be delivered so the girls and I can try out making some of these freezer meals. Excited to see if baby is a boy or a girl 😁
Not having appliances for awhile makes you appreciate them SO much more!! I’m sure you will be relieved to be able to cook normally again 👏🏻
God bless you and your family 🙏🙏
Agree with the garlic comment ... Fresh is better the jar stuff tastes funny !
Did you know that you can get maple syrup from any kind of maple tree. It's just that ot takes a lot more maple trees to get the same amount of syrup as it does if you have a sugar maple tree. The time to tap in Missouri is middle of January to middle of February, I read. Not sure of the process once you collect the sap. I think you boil it down.
They have tree taps with hooks to hang your bucket on amazon.
Yes we’ve watched some videos on tapping but unfortunately we don’t have enough mature maple trees to make it worth the work/time it would take. Maybe one day 😄

Nothing like fresh garlic!
Mom, you are amazing,
Smart jdea for meals ! I am going to try it!❤❤🍫🌮🍗🍖🥩🍔
New fan,
new disciple,
new subscriber here!
❤
My goodness! Baby 10!
Now baby watch time🥳🥳🥳
You don’t put any seasoning on your chicken? I would put a little bit of all seasoning mix in addition to the garlic & lemon.
Yes I did forget that! I added a note to the bag to season when it went in the crockpot
Questo video mi è piaciuto molto siete fantastici preparation baby 10
The minced garlic in the jar does not taste great... I recently discovered one that comes in a squeeze bottle with a little olive oil and its great just like fresh garlic
Vi adoro
Watching you I was like... well she is measuring two tablespoons of garlic WITH A FORK. Then she is moving to two tablespoons of lemon juice... with a fork, that souds tricky ! I need to watch this 😂
I don’t remember this at all LOL! I need to go back and watch 😂
garlic is such an easy thing to grow, grown your own and you'll never need to buy it at the store again
I think I have started to be "team girl" here. No idea why. But we gotta have hope of changing the odds right. :) Girls for the win. ;)
There are a LOT of people voting girl!
@@jasonandjulie Oh my goodness I had no idea I was on the huge girl team. LOL We'll just have to wait and see. Take your time for the announcement, though. Recovery is key. Good luck on you mama!
Your are inspiring!
Good job done❤️🇨🇦
Awesome
So helpful ❤
I definitely need to do this just for day's that i do not feel like cooking.
🙋♀️ This mom doesn't measure everything neither. 🤷♀️
😊😊😊
No you didn’t link the Dutch oven.
Oops, thanks for letting me know! I forgot all about it www.marquettecastings.com?aff=54
Beautiful
Bless Elsie!❤❤xxoo
Elsie is a great girl.
That's ok there's alot of UTUBE MOMS, that don't measure either..Yeck, some ssf o, some don't. Pending what it is...
Great to prep ahead, especially at a time when all is so exciting , yet stressful...
Could you answer a question in your next video? Have you had any other embarrassing or tmi symptoms, like lots of gas/farting, during your pregnancy?
I haven’t struggled with that. If I get any feelings of indigestion I drink a spoonful of baking soda in water and that usually takes care of it
I know a lot of people who tap trees and make maple syrup here in Wisconsin. Want me to check into prices for you? I could bring some down the next time I visit mom.
WOW Julie you must be exhausted
🥰💪🏻🙏🏻❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
good lord
Did you say 10.. Oh busy busy
One drumstick per person doesn't seem like a lot with all those teens lol I'm not judging just saying my teens eat a heck of a lot more than that
Yes I have to have very filling sides to go with this, otherwise I’d have to cook both bags of chicken
😴💤🛌💤😴. 🌹🌹🌹
