Amy, I have watched you for many years now and I am just always so encouraged as a young mother. Thank you for being a biblical example of a peaceful mother and happy wife!
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you
I know you make meals for large families, but showing me all these meals, I did them for two people at a time, and you are SO right, I do an all day cooking day on Thursdays cause kids are at college, and hubby is working. This means I have the house ALL TO MYSELF! But doing the cooking all day, and then shoving a freezer meal in the oven at 4Pm and cooked by 5PM, is the BEST IDEA I EVER HEARD! Thanks for your posts. I do have a lot of your style meals, but for smaller helpings. GENIUS! My daughter even got into this freezer meal stuff, and bought me some labels and a marker to date and label the meals. She loves it when she can just take one out and micro it.
Makes me smile
Hi! Just wanted to stop by and say I love watching your videos because its great to see when large preps aren't always casserole...lol. Its wonderful that you always include variety and different types of meals for you family, plus they also look/sound so good!
Thanks for slowing down and more in-depth commentary.
I am early tonight Amy, and oh my goodness all I can think is WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER 😂so many delicious meals and look at you fully dressed, hair tied up face on at 5am in the morning when I read your kitchen clock....I love sweet and sour chicken and it’s also delicious when you can fry the chicken so it’s crispy and pour the sauce over it when cooked. Hope your family appreciate your commitment to the cooking. Enjoy the weekend. Kate 🥰🇦🇺
I agree with you on the whole throw away pans for cettain times/occasions. They really do give the cook a drop of grace after a busy day. I also love your videos in general. I have gotten so many delicious recipes my entire family loves from you!
Have a good day
I so agree. I will be using them for Christmas Day, there’s enough cleaning up after a large meal without all the serving dishes. X
Thank you so much for mentioning the sharpie marker. My girls keep stealing mine and I just mentioned a few days ago that I'm buying a big pack of sharpies and they're all MINE. 🤣
Amy thank you for your contribution with such a positive attitude. You are an amazing Mama! I've learned alot the way you put meals together with hardly any food. 😊
Thank you for kind words
I really appreciate you putting the recipe on the screen. That is awesome and so kind of you.
Thanks for the feedback
She said “now we’re smaller we only have 7 kids at home”
God bless you Amy I don’t know how you do it lol
😂
All I can say is Thank you for all of these fantastic and easy chicken recipes ! Just seeing the recipes (thanks for the recipe screenshots!!) you just know all the flavors mixed together are going to make a delicious meal! Thank you for all the hard work and time you give to put these videos together for all of us ! You are really helping so many ppl feed their families good food!Blessings!❤️
Just FYI - adding yogurt will take away the heat from your curries. TFS - I’m going to try a few of these but definitely that lo mein
I'm loving this video! I'm not much of a red meat eater so I buy mostly chicken and now I have some new recipes to fix! Thanks so much Amy! 😁
I took notes watching you 😋 my hubby Wes was laughing at me. This was so awesome! Thank you so much!
Have a great day
Hi Amy, we eat a lot of chicken in our house so these recipes I am definitely going to try.. After doing these recipes my freezers are going to full to the max as I also did a lot of your baking……thank you for the recipes both today, your freezer breakfasts and your muffins. By the way your cutting board with the stainless insert is fabulous going to be looking for one of those❤️
Very good recipes, can't wait to try! My tip of the day... When putting your food in the freezer bags, turn the very top of the bag, where the zipped is, over, outward. This will keep it free of food, and will help it to stand up... When my Mom used to put stuff in the freezer, to help it stay flattish, she would put them on a cookie sheet. That helped to transfer it, and to freeze.
Love freezer meal day! With Four boys under 9 it’s a happy day when I can pull a meal out of the freezer and do something fun with them instead.
You are a rock star! Thanks for sharing all you do for your family with us. You have so much energy!!
Have a wonderful day
I’m excited to try the Chickenetti! Don’t get me wrong, I would love to try them all..but if you know you know..lol
Thanks so much Am’s..these recipes you share really do help make people’s lives so much easier! I mean seriously, simply cook it, chop it, mix it, bag it then freeze it, done. Then grab dump and go…Vawala! Happy days 😀
Oh, Before I forget, Happy belated Anniversary to you and Greg 🎈 It was your anniversary recently, right? :)
And yep, good scripture today 😌
Till tomorrow 👋 xo
It's so yummy
I love my freezer meals. It's just me and my husband were empty nesters and I still do freezer meals.
Your amazing content has been putting me in a great mood! Thank you!
I love all your videos but the large freezer cooking and baking are my favorite. Thank you for always sharing! Love from Maine
Welcome thanks for watching
Great recipes, thank you Amy. I used to make freezer meals every month, my newest baby is 9 months old and the last time I made a lot of freezer meals was before I went to hospital to have him. I have been feeling a little defeated that I can't manage to make all the freezer meal, but you are so right. Different seasons make different things possible, I will get there again. Be blessed and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Yes definitely need to take into account seasons
Hi Amy! I love your videos and they have been so helpful, especially when I need to change things up in the kitchen! For the silicone reusable bags, I got a drying rack on Amazon (looks like a file sorter) where they can sit wide open and that sits on the top of my fridge. The warmth from the fridge top dries them completely in just a few hours.
Oh genius thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to post the recipes! They are immensely helpful! I was looking for some new freezer meal recipes - we’ll definitely be trying a bunch!
Luuuv your videos! Can’t wait to try some of your freezer meals ♥️😊 Was really surprised to see you throw your cans in the rubbish (trash) bag! In Oz 🇦🇺 we rinse them out and put in the recycling bin (along with rinsed glass jars, cardboard etc) for fortnightly (bi-weekly) kerbside recycling pickup. In my area we also save the rinsed can lids to pop into an aluminium (aluminum) coffee can with metal lid to put out when full (to prevent recycling plant workers from injury or equipment damage by stray lids).
Got my cup of coffee ready! Kids are still sleeping and Amy posted. It’s going to be a good day!
Yes it is
God bless you sister Marion! So many ideas for the out of supply pantries we are all dealing with, your make the best attitude warms my heart. Plz don’t stop the scriptures at the end :-)
Have a beautiful day
This video is a great inspiration. It’s just my husband and me now everyone grown and have their own homes. We have gotten in the habit of going out for food about 3 or 4 times a week, just pure laziness. We both decided we miss home cooking. 🙏🏻 thank you
Welcome. I can see how we may do that one day too
Amy I agree. Pasta noodles and rice doesn’t do well in freezer meals.
Love coconut cream and I use it for various things! Yummy! I've not had much if any indian foods but plan to try!! Thanks for all the time you put into these long videos! You're such a sweet lady ♡
These looked so good. I season pot pies with thyme or poultry seasoning, it gives it a little extra flavor. Great idea for the lettuce wraps, might have to try that next week.
I love it all. I've never had any meal made with coconut cream- but it sounds like something I would love. And of course I love that you make your own Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken- so great. Prep all the meats ahead- that requires a bit of thinking on portions, but what a great way to assemble and go. I bet you could do 100 meals if you prep your proteins, chop your veggies and make your soups the day before. This is so helpful. Thank you.
I think your Chana Masala is a good option for freezing for sure. Fun stuff. You take recipes and make them for your family's tastes that is a good momma cook in my opinion. No worries you are awesome.
Everything looked great. That will be nice to have some meals you can pull out heat up and only make sides for on busy days. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you
Oh my gooooodnessssss! I'm so excited you're trying my recipe!! I really hope you all like it. The rice should take away a bit of the sting if it's too spicy. Or you could dilute it with a bit more milk or coconut cream. We're long time fans of yours, and even got to know Jamerril and the Wads thanks to you.
Bless you and your family, and now I'm anxious to see if you like our package! My mother in law helped me put it together, so I hope it'll be useful.
Much love and appreciation from the Holy Land! DeeDee
You are sweet thank you
always pick up great recipes in your cooking videos..thanks
Hi Amy,
Thank you. Today I was smart by sitting at table w pen and writing pad to write down recipes.
I love them and hope to enjoy.
Thank yo for reading today’s Proverb.
Have a fantastic and blessed weekend with your family.
Thank you ❤️
Good morning Amy. You can find a vegan cream cheese at a Trader Joe’s store. Also Daiya brand sells vegan cheese. Our local Walmart carries this brand. Have a fabulous weekend!
Great recipes! I like how you put the ingredients on the screen. Could you include your suggestions, alternatives, how to serve & cook temp & times?
That would be a great help!
Or even better, put the whole recipe in the Description for viewers to save?
Thank you!!!
👍🌟👏🌟👍🌟👏🌟👍
using chicken I make sweet and sour chicken stir fry, using mini sweetcorn, onion, peppers, red,yellow and green, mushrooms, chicken breasts and sweat and sour sauce, my husbanding daughter love it
Good morning, Amy! I love chicken. Thank you for all these awesome ideas! I think I will have to make some freezer meals next week. My husband and I are exepecting an new foster baby next Saturday. Ten weeks old little girl. She doesen't even have a name yet. Born 9/11. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs from Norway.
How beautiful ❤️ congrats to you
Thank you so much! We are so happy!
I could really use these tips I sometimes go to bed not eating after work
Thanks for saying that about having little littles compared to older more independent children......It feels like people around me don't realize how much time a toddler needs from his mommy and how am i supposed to keep the house clean and make food all day everyday.
Try topping you pot pies with puff pastry. So much better than pie crust. I also only use carrot/peas so you don't get lots of different textures.
Those of us who have been here a while know very well that you don't just do freezer meals for dinner every night! It really IS very interesting watching you put them all together, though! You're a lot of our (viewers') favorite fast talking, quick moving mama on TH-cam!
Thank you Hannah 💜
When mine were little I made 2or 3 of what we had for supper and froze the others for other nights. So in a month of doing that or 2 I had several months of meals prepped! Easy peasy. If I baked I made extra and froze as well. If it was cookies I froze the dough because if I did the cooked it would be eaten too fast! I would portion it a dozen to a bag to bake!
My mom and grandma would cook whole month of September to make freezer meals. I grow up in state of New York. Where bad weather can hit without a notes. They would start on September and end in October with freezer meals. I do freezer meals I do one for now and one for later. I get all my meats for my family meals at Costco for all my freezing vegetables and meats and my fail pans and freezer bags. How I get my husband doing one now and one for later freezer meals.
Love hearing this
Good Morning sweet lady. Have a great day and God bless you and the family
Thank you Amy for all that you do and share with us. I get so inspired watching you make meals for your family. I got so many new ideas and will be trying them this week! Oh and I learnt not to microwave chicken necks…. I do hope the cats enjoyed their treat 😂❤️
Lol
Just remembered that chicken , chick peas recipe was something I would make for me Indian husband. Can be made with potatoes instead of meat to make it vegetarian . Just cut the potatoes small, you can even parboil them slightly.
Thank you
I would look at families that had 6 kids and think man they’ve got a lot. My friend reminded me that I have 6 and we now have 1 and a grandchild at home it’s hard to make smaller meals for just the 4 of us. Thanks, for the Friday inspiration have a great weekend
Have a wonderful day
You can also whip coconut Cream and make a delicious whip cream for toppings.
I’m glad I’m not the only one hiding the sharpie!!! At home and at work. I drive a school bus and the kids constantly want a sharpie to mark something and it never gets passed back up front to me.
Lol
I use chick n bullion now because of Amy. And I love the tomato version too.
morning amy!..Busy, busy. Making lentil meatballs today. You have a fabulous day!
Side note: Your "dairy free" dip is not dairy free. Your miracle whip and ranch seasoning have dairy :)
Lol they can handle this stuff
Miracle whip doesn't have dairy in it that I have found. The ranch seasoning does an so does the kinders seasonings
Good morning. It's a faithful fun-filled Friday. another blessed day. I need some new chicken dinners. Hope you are well. Have a blessed weekend.
I boils up chicken and can it. Then make chicken and yellow rice. Or chicken and dumplings or a chicken casserole with the meat. Don’t know if you can meat but if not you should fried hamburger is so quick for tacos. I do pork and ham to
I have chili paste in my freezer and just take some out when I need it.
I make my chicken pot pie topped with copy cat cheddar bay biscuits and no pie crust, it’s sooooo good. Your kids may like it better than traditional, just a thought!
Thank you.
Wow Amy, I made your mushroom soup. All I can say is I will never have mushroom soup any other way. It was so delicious I had to share it with my friends next door. They had to call me and tell me how good it was. This is gourmet.
It is yummy
hahaha, I hide my sharpie too!!! Love your vids, thank you for the inspiration xx
It is a must :)
I would need to do this on a Friday it is the only day I have off once every two weeks.
I need another freezer, we have real old one and it freezes up n ice .
I make enchilada sauce with , tomato sauce, cumin, garlic,onion powder, n oregano, n cayenne if you like spice, you can control how much spice n flavor then.
Chana Masala is made from chick peas and masala…. It’s a vegetarian Indian dish……normally it’s eaten with either Bhatura bread or chapati. We never eat it with rice…. Normally my husband will eat it with onions, hot peppers and lime on the side. His family are from north India and his family owns a Indian restaurant…. So we eat a lot of Indian food lol.
You can also make raita which is made out of plain yoghurt, cucumbers onions, pepper… And it cuts the heat… try it… super easy to make and taste better than it would with the sour cream.
Lol - I MUST take your advice and keep a sharpie near by. Often, I pull out a bag - dinner is a mystery until it’s defrosted 😉
I hear you, I absolutely hide my sharpie marker, my husband is the worst culprit!! Lol
Lol
Been away for two weeks visiting the grandsons in Florida and now I’m home. This video, as all of your cooking ones do, make me want to cook and bake. Lol
I laugh tho, Amy, bc I can remember when the volume of these was so much higher. Never thought I’d see the day you were using small, quart bags. Ha!
Remember the pizzas? You would make like 15 of them…
Lol yes i remember 🤣
It’s basically means a chickpea curry and it is popular all around the world these days.
Yum yum, it all looks sooooo nice. I'm going to cook something with Chicken tonight!
I could have done with this video yesterday when I was cutting up 2.5kg of chicken I got on sale .. ended up just bagging it up in potions, I love watching your meal prep video it always looks tasty
Just woke up late I am so happy to be watching you from the UK
Amy, Gordon Ramsay would be so proud of your knife skills!
Yup I learned that the hard way, made a pizza pasta dish and froze it, when I cooked it the pasta was mushy...I was very disappointed, but hey, I know now!
Yes trial and error..I always say learn from my mistakes :)
Somehow I missed what the liquid was for the chicken cordon blu casserole ...:(
Would LOVE to make this !!!
Was it the homeade mushroom soup?
Yes
I do dill pickle juice all of the time. So tasty.
Can your dairy free girls eat the homemade 24 hour yogurt? It's lactose free by the time it's finished. It's basically the same as your recipe except you cook it in your pressure cooker 24 hours and then drain it a little. I use it in place of sour cream sometimes too. I was taught to set the timer 24 1/2 hours to give it half an hour to come to temp. It's a way to assist with gut health. A gallon of whole milk with one cup of full fat plain yogurt.
Thank you
Amy. Could you put your Pad Tia recipe on the blog or is it there under another name.?
4 T tamarind.4 T brown sugar 4 T soy sauce..squirt of like and 1 tsp chicken bouillon
Great freezer meals you have a great weekend love to you all xxx
I would like to see actual meals times, how/when do you eat?
Why doesn’t anyone ever put links to recipes or the actual recipes. They go so fast and I handicapped and can’t write that quickly.Thanks for posting them!
My apologies...i don't have links for all of them that is why..can you screen shot them ? How are you watching them?
Hi Amy! I was looking for your recommended air fryer on your Amazon page but you don't have one there. Can you recommend one in particular please?
Elechomes we have had for a while and like it
What is everyone’s opinion on freezing broccoli cheddar soup…..does it freeze and thaw well?
Yes
Yay! I plan on making a big pot of it and was hoping it could turn into several freezer meals
I like that you did all chicken meals. I'm taking pics and sharing with my daughter. Amy, I just want to tell you that my heart aches for some of you mama's who are being ridiculed and torn apart by some mean and heartless people on a web site. Just be you and stay true.
I appreciate you and your kind words...must be something for them to talk :). Praying for them too ☺️
I know you have a large family, but I wondered typically how many servings do you prep? Do your littles eat a full serving?
Love these recipes, but am I missing something? I saw the ingredients on the screen, but no directions. Do you have these recipes in printables?
No directions sorry
Try just putting biscuits on top instead of pie crust might make a difference on kids eating it
Do you have a way to recycle your tins and glass etc?
Amy your doing great work. If people are still asking "why bother just cook it on the day." I say o well. They need to watch some more videos instead of just one because you've already answered this. It's unreal. Even if your way is 10x harder or 10x easier, it's YOUR WAY for YOUR FAMILY. Idk I'm sorry if this was over the line.
Really good ideas. Thanks for sharing
Doesn't ranch powder have buttermilk powder in it?
It's okay for them ..i should specify that thank you
Rice has arsenic in it and has too be prepared appropriately to get the arsenic levels down. Check videos here on you tube.
Amy, when you cook all of these meals which I am going to try what does your vegetarian daughter eat?
Depends on what we have. She may cook a few times per week and eat that
Have you tried the veggie soya chicken for Brooklin,or the veggie mince
We haven't
Soo good thank you!!
I'm loving all the Asian recipes...
I enjoy new recipes to make. Especially with chicken
Are you and Lauren going to prepare some freezer meals on a smaller scale for them to have after the baby is born. I know that Jennifer from a Country Life and her daughter did this before both of her children were born. Made it easier for her. Love the recipes!!
She already has a stocked freezer
Lauren is so much like mom, I imagined that.
