Whip Up Delicious Meals In No Time With These Freezer Meal Prep Hacks!

- Cooking for a busy season can be complex. My method of "survival" for our upcoming baseball season is to fill the freezer with quick, versatile freezer meals that the entire family will love. While my immediate focus is on ball season, freezer meals also come in really handy when expecting a new baby, during times of sickness, or when you have a friend or family member experiencing any of those same things.
Today I am focusing on ingredients over meals, with a protein-heavy focus, as well as showcasing how I pack and store away these items for the long term. Join me as we put up 15 meals for our upcoming sprint through the baseball season, and if you are interested in more, make sure to subscribe, as I have more coming on the schedule.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam channels..You have the personality to grow a very large channel..Don't give up!
You’re so kind!! Thank you for hanging out in my little corner of YT! 💕
I agree, I’m loving this channel so much! Well done!
@@kenziemayrae3568 you’re all so sweet!
FYI, if I put out a vid mid week, it prob won’t be kitchen content. I’ll always keep Sunday for the core stuff, so don’t leave if you see me in the laundry room at some point soon. 🙌🏻
Yesssssssss! LOVING this channel too :D
Thank you for all the meal ideas and tips on freezing the ingredients..God bless you and your dear family..Sherri-Payette Idaho
I love that you don’t have any background music
I try to keep it minimal.
Thanks for watching!
Me too! Much easier for me to focus on what is being said/going on.
Hope you are safe from the recent storms. I just found your channel and subscribed. Batch cooking is something I have done for years. Now we are empty nesters and it's a way to reduce food waste as we don't get tired of leftovers. I love my big roaster for canning too!❤
Thank you for checking on us! We actually did have a tornado warning in the night an early Saturday morning, but all is well.
Thank you for watching, and so happy you found my corner of YT!
So much motivation here to get some prepped foods in my freezer 🙌🏽 this is something I definitely need to get better about, especially lately! It’s like the day flies by and I realize I haven’t laid anything out or prepped anything for dinner and then I’m scrambling more often than I care to admit 😬🥴 lol
It definitely happens to the best of us! I love to thaw a bunch of meat early in the week and come up with a base plan, but that doesn’t always happen. Also, one load of dishes is better than MANY, so this is a help for us.
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you back soon.
Just found your channel with this video and subscribed! I will be playing catch up!
Glad to have you! Thanks for watching, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
I found one of those large rosters at our local thrift store for 8$. Never used. I roasted four chickens from our freezer on Saturday. (Two at a time) and it was a life saver!
Oh! how I miss my old magic meal /Electrolux mixer!!
It’s crazy how cheap they are 2nd hand! Mine has another last name written inside the lid because the previous owner used it once for a huge church dinner.
Congrats on your score!
And somehow I hadn’t considered this! I could roast 4-5 chickens at a time with these 2 plus one in the IP to keep things moving. Now THAT is a big batch day!!
Interesting channel, I just wish she would tie back her hair
@@teresae3470 my hair is different from day to day, just like most other women. Since I’m not in a commercial kitchen, or serving anyone outside of my home, I simply get dressed and fix my hair as I wish on any given day. It’s actually rare to see my hair the same way twice. 😉
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you back soon.
Another awesome video!! Thanks for sharing your ideas on batch cooking!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
I make meatballs once a year and just partially cook them then freeze. I also do a years worth of lasagnas and freeze. and make a years worth of meatloaf, divide and freeze uncooked. Makes easy meals later. When I do soups or chili I do triple batches and freeze some. Just somethings I found that works for me.
Fabulous ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the idea of doing this to be prepared for any season, great tips!
Thank you, and thanks for watching! Hope to see you back soon!
I love my roaster for tomatoes too!
Love ours too! I’m sold on them, but I don’t think I need more than 2, unless we take our garden to the next level! 😆
I was wondering how you use the roaster for preparing tomatoes to can! Can you share that? I am trying to plan out what to do with ours when we start to harvest.

Great advice
My pet peeve whenever anyone is preparing food even though it’s usually just for your family is When y’all do t put your hair up! Hair can get into the food and ruin a whole batch of anything you’re preparing.
Glad you’re here! Thanks for subscribing!
I think there is an interesting conversation about hair to be had. Those of us on YT are typically cooking in our own homes, for our own families. We dress and style our hair the way we would in any other day at home. I think because it’s on camera people feel like we’re cooking for strangers or in a commercial kitchen.
My hair is clean, so if one strand gets into a dish, which has happened maybe 5 times over the last decade, then it’s not ruined. I would simply remove it and move on.
I am also VERY desensitized to hair because I used to work in salons, as a stylist.
@@thehometownhomestead like I said I know yall just cook for your own families. I would feel so bad if anyone of my children or husband had to pull a strand of hair out of their food regardless if it’s clean I still think that it is disgusting.
your videos are giving me so much motivation!! i was wondering if you had any suggestions for bulk buying/prepping in a place with little storage. My hubby and I's starter house has almost no storage, but I dont want that to stop us from eating healthy and saving up money for our forever home.
This is a great topic. Maybe I should film at my mom’s house and show you all how she uses extra closet space to the maximum!
Do you have a spare bedroom at all? I know many people turn them into a pantry, or even just capitalize on the space under the bed.
I’ll work on a time to go to moms though. She doesn’t have a large pantry space at all, and does have a lot of food tucked away. 👍
@thehometownhomestead this would be extremely helpful!!!
I love your dresses! May I ask where you usually get them?
I’m probably half and half on Amazon and Goodwill, with a sprinkle of Old Navy. 😆
If it is available currently, I always put a link in the description, but this specific one was $6 at Goodwill and SO DANG AWESOME. I often fill those pockets with cherry tomatoes or eggs. 😬
At that price, I don’t mind one bit!
I just found you on TH-cam....what state do you live in? Noticed the KC chiefs plaque on the shelf...I'm in KC area
We’re in SW MO! My guys are big Chiefs fans. We have family in Olathe and make our way that direction on occasion.
Excellent ideas. If I can make a small suggestion....please put your hair in a Rubber Band please.
Thank you, and thank you for watching!
If I was working in a commercial or public kitchen, I definitely would. In my own home, I tend to do as I wish on each individual day. Sometimes it up, sometimes it’s down.
Hope to see you back soon!
@@thehometownhomestead I understand your home, your preferences. Just simply suggesting for your viewers who might be a bit off put by the long hair issue...at times it was in your face and a bit distracting to some of us watching. Not at all trying to be disrespectful by the suggestion. Hoping more so of understanding as the CONTENT creator so others find your videos more satisfying etc....words of advice not criticism. Hoping your channel grows. Blessings to you and your family.

I had to quit watching this video because of the hair in food issue.......
😂 I wear my hair however, I want at home.
