COLOSSAL ONCE A MONTH FREEZER MEALS | LARGE FAMILY STYLE | ALL NEW RECIPES

[@lindachavez4524]

These meals are not only useful for large families. They are quite a lifesaver for caregivers to elderly/disabled family members. Thank you.

[@amymaryon]

Welcome

[@amixeblu]

I agree. I am disabled (have been for 25+ years) and my parents who are mid 70s are my caregivers. I give them (asked for) ideas all the time. They often ask me what I want or what we could do. Currently we are on a monthly rotating meal plan. I love getting fresh ideas!

[@heatherjunker967]

You are right about this. I make freezer meals for my family and also make some for my elderly parents. Amy's freezer meal videos give me more ideas to choose from as coming up with more meals is sometimes a challenge. I am sure your family appreciates it, Linda.

[@theblissfullone]

Excellent thought. Thanks for sharing.

I so agree I think she could make the best freezer meal cookbook ever and prayers for your partner

[@janellkunkle5169]

Amy...You can cut the tip off a ziplock bag, use it like a pastry bag and fill your aldenti pasta. It saves time and you can do the same in filling shells.

[@jillnelsonmalmt6085]

Wow! Great tip!

[@linshannon4480]

I do this, too! And I use the same technique for deviled eggs when I take them to potluck family meals. I bring the egg white(cups) separate from the filling, and then pipe them on a platter when we arrive. That way they're not squished in the transport.

Thank you so much for these recipes. They all sound wonderful. I don't have a large family to cook for, but my husband and I like to take long RV trips (a month at a time.) Before we leave I like to fill the freezer in our RV with meals like this so I spend very little time cooking.

Hi Amy, another good, easy, chicken meal to make and freeze is “bruschetta chicken”. Place cut up chicken in bottom of pan, sprinkle with cheese of your choice, mix a box of stuffing with one can of diced tomatoes and put over chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350. Also your family may like scalloped potatoes. Lots of different versions on the web. We love them!

[@debimorsette1685]

Great job, Amy!!! The warmer weather will soon be here and you can spend your time at the pool with the kids and have a meal from your freezer for dinner. 🥰

[@tamiburns483]

I like how you use what you have and it works. I started doing the same thing and I like just going to the freezer and grabbing something for dinner. I love when you do these freezer meals it gives me great ideas. Thank you for sharing. Many blessings for you.

[@DragonflyArtz1]

YAY Part 2!! Love, Love. Love it! That was not only so much fun, it was also a very inspiring and learning experience. Biggest learning point for me is that all of those casserole pans take up too much space in the freezer. So make all of the components and bag them flat instead. Save all of the pasta (except for stuffed shells), rice or even potatoes to add later. Then you can fit a lot more meals in your freezer. That to me is pure Gold! Brilliant- yet again! Thank you so much Amy! 65! WOW. Does that include the few things you made in Part 1? So great. If you can do this, the rest of us can certainly feed our family at home.

[@amymaryon]

Yes it does

Good morning Amy. I don’t know if you or fellow subscribers have heard about the Kneady Homesteader. Her and her husband and 2 younger children were returning from an early Valentines dinner on Feb 13. They were hit by a drunk driver. Her husband was instantly killed. She was severely injured and the children injured. There is a go fund me page started by her older son. Any donation from anyone will be very helpful. She has been in 3 different hospitals. Her sister is caring for the children. Prayers for the whole family.

Good morning Amy. Have a wonderful blessed day.

[@heatherjohnson2511]

As far as the manicotti, you can always cook the pasta then cut them in half....also with lasagna pasta, cook them then cut them in half and place your meat mixture on them and roll them, then lay them in a casserole pan, like small burritos, and put sauce & cheese on top and bake.... both pastas are great that way! Also meatballs work great with the cut lasagna pasta wrapped around them.

[@karenennis6109]

Good morning. Wow wow wow. I hope you are able to move around in the morning for childrens church. I have got a lot done myself this morning. I had to go to the store this morning. It was 70 on thurs today wind chill 2. You gave me some new ideas for meals. You have a blessed fantastic day and I hope it is nice and warm for you today. See ya tomorrow

[@sarahbeth8766]

You could do lasagna noodles that are parcooked to be soft enough to roll up . That way you could roll up your filling in it and avoid the hassle of stuffing manicotti

Amy.... For the manicotti, my Sicilian mother in law, she uses a baby spoon, not a teaspoon but a spoon used to feed babies. The spoon is smaller and longer so you can get more in the shell.

Amy hi , saw a great tip on you tube the other day . If you don’t have a press and seal machine when freezing your food 🍱 just stick a straw in the corner of your freezer bag zip bag closed up to straw has tight has possible then press down on bag while sucking out the air from the straw then quickly remove straw and seal up the corner of your bag done ! . I thought wow save time ! save money ! . Because those machines cost so much to buy . The lady says it works great 👍 . I’am trying it . Why not ? . Didn’t know if you knew . Just a quick tip for you from me . Sharon ☺️👍👌

ANOTHER GREAT TIP I'VE SEEN . Instead of those aluminum pans freeze the uncooked food by first putting plastic wrap in the bottom of the aluminum pan, once its frozen, take it out of the alumunium pan put in a gal or 2 gal freezer bag👍

Use plastic wrap or foil at the bottom of the pan to get the frozen food out
