COOK 18 FREEZER MEALS IN 1 AFTERNOON, SIMPLE, EASY, AFFORDABLE

[@hillarydaniels4520]

Grace would make an amazing teacher. She could rock KZbin kids learning channel

[@dorisoconnell629]

Yes the roaster is used exactly a crockpot. Leave it running overnight is fine. Have done it many times. Just have it placed where little hands won’t/can’t pull it on them. As you well know little hands like to explore. Love you & kiddos. 😊. I missed you soooo much!!!!! Thank you for coming back!!!!!

[@ck4599]

I agree!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariemorris8092]

Bri, I am enjoying your family so much! Mine are grown and my grands are almost grown. It is a joy for me to see. I love when you say we’ll just pivot into a slightly different direction. I love the way all the kids want to help out. You are wonderful.

[@mustwereallydothis]

Absolutely! I would love to watch too. Of course, I haven't qualified as a kid for quite some time.

[@katehassen6021]

Grace, you did a great job for your debut cooking show! Love how you are showing the "real " life of big batch cooking with the help and the "help" of your large family. I admire your positive I-can-handle-this attitude.

I think its so amazing that your kids help you so much. They are good kids and working together is so nice to see. Thank you for sharing. God Bless you and your family.

[@shelleygeary3205]

Go Grace! Great job! Bri, you're still cooking from scratch! You're feeding your babies and cooking from scratch is a lost art. It doesn't matter if you bought the ingredients. Go Bri! You inspire us. thanks

[@jesusislord2457]

Seeing Grace and Joyful helping gives me hope for the future families they will have. Grace is already a pro at teaching others how to cook. I'm super proud of them both! 🤜🎉 Big hugs for everyone! ✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱✝️

[@alicesites5052]

Bri, you are doing a great job raising your wonderful children, teaching how to manage life and pivot when necessary. I love that you encourage the children to do things at a very young age. I'm 75 yrs old, and our generation and older were expected to cook, clean, garden, etc as early as possible. I know there are times being without your partner can be difficult, even overwhelming, but you are a pure success. I love that you have a community of dear friends who love and support you. Having that support is magnificent and shows how very successful you are. Ignore any negativity coming your way. There are 4 times as many people out there cheering you on than the very few who want to criticize. Thanks so much for helping the young women (and men) learn how to pivot when things take a turn away from the original plan. That's the secret of success. You are about the age of my children and it makes me so happy to be able to be part of your journey. My children and grands live far away, but we connect through technology. Heavenly Father loves you and is right beside you inspiring you as you go. Hugs from a grandma who loves to see the younger generations know how to do things from scratch. ❤

[@donnamccay]

I'm 67 and I was expected to cook the evening meals from 11 years old till I got a job at 16. My friends did, too. Our brothers could play outside..which I didn't think was fair, so glad to see your boys helping or at least interested in helping...such a delight to see! My 2 boys were expected to help me since I was a single mom with 4 kids!! This past Easter, all 4 of them offered to help and they are in their 30s and 40s. I really didn't have to do much at all!! Proud of how your are raising your children!

[@lolamoms6359]

​@donnamccay1160 I also was left to raise 4 children alone. I made sure my boys could cook as well as the girls. Everyone did laundry and everyone learned basic maintenance of their vehicle. I believe each needed to be able to care for their self and then can reach out to help others. You did a good job.

[@donnamays24]

❤

[@athia37]

You are a really smart,knowledgeable, frugal fun beautiful joyspreading Lady.I'm 58 yrs old and love to watch your videos, they bring joy and teach all sorts of things all the time.I love the way your children are involved with food and cooking.Very few people today teach the art of cooking and baking to their children.Fantastic job Brie.

[@lieuwina]

Its lovely how the girls have stepped forward to help and Grace did the lasagne beautifully and Joy getting hands on was a Joy to watch.

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful family working together! Thanks for sharing your positive attitude & ideas of food prep! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

[@cathykillion6544]

Watching your children helping was a beautiful blessing. Love your family

[@julieoneil1279]

I do admire the way you let your children assist you with your many chores and activities around your house. You are doing a super good job day after day. Your children are building confidence life skills and so much more ❤❤❤

[@patrussell364]

Hi Bri . What a wonderful new name for your channel.It fits your bubbly personality.l enjoy watching you cook for your big family.lt is great to see Grace enjoy cooking with her mom.She is a big help.One day I would love to see you have a cookbook and call it Bri from scratch.You make so many good recipes for your family.lt is something l would love to have.l believe in you and I know you could succeed at it.Have a blessed and beautiful weekend.🙏🥰

[@ann2155]

Grace did a fabulous job today with her lasagna dishes. With or without meat she still did a great job.

[@judyedwards7239]

You are like the energizer bunny Bri. Don't know where you get all that energy that you have. Love seeing Grace being such a natural and so confident in front of the camera. Quite the cook she is. Love your smile Bri. Thanks so much for sharing your day with us.♥

[@gerriebell2128]

I love your comments about making things from scratch totally, or partially. We are all in different circumstances or places in our lives. When my children were little I made everything myself that I knew how to make. We had an apricot tree and every year I made jam and canned apricots. And cooked from our back yard garden. Now it’s just my husband and me. No tree or garden. Our needs are different and our energy level is different. You do what you can and “choose your battles”. What you said about letting things steal your joy is exactly right. To criticize someone or even to feel guilty about what you can’t do, is to make them or yourself think they have no blessings, which is a terrible lie. Joy comes from counting your blessings and doing your best with what you have. It’s amazing you and the kids all work together to feed the family, and they will have wonderful memories of that. As well as knowing how to do it. God bless you!

[@GardensteadLifestyle]

You and the kids are doing a great job. We on youtube are merely trying to inspire others to do different things. Some of the viewers, however, think that we are superwomen and need to do everything from "scratch"!. No, if from scratch is out of your reach then so be it. Don't give yourself more stress neither don't apologise for the way you are trying to make your life more simple.

[@alisonshanahan9529]

I started my kids cooking at age 3. They made mini muffins and mini cupcakes, ideal for small tummies. They are all adults now and all excellent cooks.

[@donnaparrish6881]

I am currently cooking beef bone broth in my Nesco roaster. I have it on 250°. Its been cooking since 9:00 this morning. I let it cook like this for 36-48 hours, and I let it continue cooking through the night. It smells amazing in my kitchen right now! 😊

[@cathyhunter362]

Bri, I have just "met" you a few weeks ago (courtesy of Becky @ acre homestead) and I love you and your incredible positivity and real life smiles. If ever you are self doubting or beating yourself up please know that you have impacted strangers who only want the very best for you. I treasure the glimpses into your happy family ❤.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you so much for this comment.

[@petgranny194]

Whew, you stun me Every Single Time with your meal prep. Amazing. I always learn something new and come away exhausted!

[@reginaneal6911]

Grace! Joyful! Brighton! Nice going kids!! You all are such amazing kitchen helpers and like the gardening these skills will do you well your entire life. I am so glad Bri you have found your stride as Spring has arrived and awakened all Good Things. My house to yours Luv you guys heaps!! 💝💝😘😘😘

[@janetscott5252]

Wow Bri, what a great day of cooking! You're truly an inspiration!! As hard as this new life has been & is, you've bloomed into such a wonder of a woman!! You've come into your own beautifully!! The kiddos are great helpers and you're teaching them so well to be self sufficient & independent!! So proud of you all!! 💕🙏💕

[@sharonswisher7274]

I've been watching you for quite awhile and I saw you with your cows and chickens and large gardens in the past. Circumstances put you where you are right now and look at you, you're going strong with your new home, garden, make from scratch meals and you have great ideas for your new home. So, pat yourself on the back! I'm very proud of you. Keep strong! Keep going! Stay safe! Stay healthy!

[@emmapalmer5162]

You're a strong woman to cook, clean , take care of 7 children , gardening. I am inspired by you. You said you're not perfect You're perfect in God's and your children's eyes. That is what counts. Love your channel ❤️

[@mariazangrilli1322]

not everyone has the opportunity to have a farm and eat their own produce. in this video i see a fantastic mothersome beautiful boys bri you are truly an exceptional woman ❤

[@mramelbass]

Back already. :) I just noticed your set up for making stock in your roasting pan. The pan needs to be pushed further in to the surface of the island so that cord is not hanging over the side of the island. With two babies coming into the kitchen today, that scared me to death! You're such a good mom, Brie. I had 2 babies, you have 7 kids! Don't know how you do it. SECONDLY, THANK YOU for the parchment paper tip! That's a winner!!

[@ck4599]

Your voice make it so easy to pay attention to what you say. Also I want you to know you are a great mom and such a blessing to your kids❤❤❤

[@shirleym4309]

I love how the kids are eager to help.Reminds me of when I was young my mom had helpers if she wanted them or not !😊

[@katherinemcdaniel8446]

You will sleep so good after all of that hard work. You have inspired me once again. I love how the whole family stops in to help with this or that while you're working so hard. Bless their little hearts. You have such wonderful children. Honestly, there are blessing all around us and I truly enjoy watching you enjoying all of those blessings.

[@madzabinga8382]

Bri, you're the best! Suburb life here, and I make a mean lasagna! I think it's a very important life skill to learn how to use store bought ingredients and make them into delicious meals!

[@rubyjohnson5611]

This video reminded me of my girls when they were little! Is some of my favorite memories! I was a foster parent and the children that came to our house loved this time too even if they didn’t help they lived watching and joining in the laughter! All the kids did great!

[@oldsusanna]

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your videos! Grace is growing up to be such a lovely young woman! Thank you for sharing the delicious recipes!

[@TanaLopezYounger]

I love the encouragement to not let "perfectionism" steal your joy, to be ok with where you're at. I've come to terms with this over the past year. Not everyone can have a farm or garden and we can still do so much "from scratch" by working with what we have. I love the positive, inclusive vibe of this channel. Bri is an absolute rockstar mamma. ☺

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

Grace us such a blessing! She's an awesome helper! Brayan wow loads of good help! I LOVE how they help you! Tell them we said they are wonderful!! Oh man she did an awesome job filming herself making the lasagnas! GOOD JOB Grace! She is sooooo sweet!!! Bri I am like you on having clean dishes in the morning. Sets my day off to a good start! You all did sooooo well! Now you all pat yourself on the back! Good job you guys!

Grace did a wonderful job with the lasagna and your other daughter was great mixing the filling and stuffing those shells! Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@ericawallace526]

"Bri from store bought scratch" 👏👏 I'm clapping for you, Mama, and for all of us, mamas! You are doing so well, tending to your family and feeding them well. No judgment for not making something yourself. They are fed, loved, and blessed. Do what you need for you!

[@debbieminor6030]

Thank you Bri for reminding me that doing your best at where you are at is okay! Loved seeing Joyful and Grace in the kitchen with you, they are beautiful young ladies, inside and out. Sending much love and prayers Bri!

[@kimberlyhill-geiser9283]

Bri, we all need to bloom where we are planting. Love is always the best ingredient in cooking. Our intention is to feed our Families the best we can with what we have to work with. Your doing amazing. Love that the Family helps, but also asks to help.

[@sandraballinger5470]

Honestly, your videos are so encouraging to me. Just to hear we are enough and to "be". Thank you for doing videos on KZbin. You are such a blessing.

[@joio2094]

I love your advice to be ok with where you are . Sometimes I feel bad about not making everything homemade. I feel like I can feel good about just cooking now, thanks for helping me .

[@Elsa-it9ct]

I can’t imagine cooking 18 meals in one afternoon! You are a super mom! It’s so nice to have kids that want to help. I will try some freezer meals. It will be nice to not always worry about what to make.

[@gayle5077]

Bri, love watching your videos!! I use my roaster for broth all the time, I love it, one tip, I was on pins and needles watching the twins toddle past the cord on the roaster. I was worried one of them might grab it and pull it off the island onto them. I put my roaster on the counter so I can keep the cord behind it and no one can accidentally get caught on it, I don't have any toddlers but I do have a clumsy husband😂😂 (I'm 72) Blessings on you and your family🙏

[@DawnC207]

I love the fact that you are real on your channel! You also are a great teacher!

[@cherylirvin3919]

Good job Grace. How blessed your mother is to have you help. I have made lasagna with no meat and used vegetables. Also, I use cottage cheese in place of ricotta. Great work to prepare so many meals. Bri, you are an encouragement!

[@easystreetwithjen]

Bri! This video is brilliant! The music while doing dishes was terrific!

[@susanelliott1970]

Most of us don’t make most of our dinners. It is refreshing watching someone who is doing what she can. I will also say you seem to be doing so much more than ever being on your own. I sure hope you are giving yourself many pats on your back. You go girl!

[@Bindismom]

That was wonderful to see. Your children are just so amazingly happy and helpful. We are forgiving the little pot filler event….you WILL eventually remember….baby steps😄 I would be the very same so no rock throwing here!! Love all you do and share. Hugs to all. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖💖🙏🙏

Well done mama! Use what you got. Those babies are learning so much just by being present. Thank you for letting your children participate and watch the making process. That is how children learn.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

The parchment on top before freezing was a great idea! I always lose sauce and cheese to the foil. Great team effort! Careful with cords on your island (like your roaster), I got a wooden spoon caught in mine once as I was walking by, almost lost my whole batch of soup! I guess island designers don't have toddlers or busy kitchens when thinking of outlet placement! 😏😃😳

[@joycepatton3692]

You always amaze me with all you do and the way you include your children to help! I'll be making lasagna really soon now❤

[@pamboone6921]

Hi Bri, Oh my word girl, you done such a awesome job with all that delicious looking food! You remind me of my little mom that raised all 8 of us alone. She had to work on the Outside of the home though to support us. On her 3 days off she meal prepped also, cook herself silly. Never really got caught up on rest until most of us were grown. And she store bought. No farm! There’s not a thing wrong with not making everything from Scratch from a store! Sister you rock!! I’m so proud of you and your 7 babies are so precious! As mom used to say,,,,God was her best friend and she couldn’t have raised us without him! May God Bless you and yours ❤ Ps,,,,sorry I didn’t mean to talk to much 🙄 lol

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Your mom was a superhero!

[@marvoleneholloway1958]

Bri, I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow a garden!! I grown in containers. I help others in their garden for some of the harvest! I do within my means!!! I totally understand!!!!

[@TriciaHolle]

Grace did an awesome job showing us how she makes lasagna. It’s wonderful that your kids help you.

[@turtlegapgardens]

I love watching all of your freezer meal/bulk prep days!! I'm cooking for just the 2 of us mostly but i doubled a recipe and froze it because of these videos! So thank you!! As a restaurant chef, a quick tip for cooling down the pasta: ice and cold water. Helps cool them down and stop the cooking process. You could skip the step of all the towel/counter space. Another pot would be a good vessel or if you purchase another large colander, you can do it right in the sink.

[@lindafoster2141]

Great job Mama!!! Wonderful soux chef!! Such a wonderful young lady!

[@leahclaire5470]

[@shirleymurphy1958]

[@dianecharles881]

I loved seeing Joyful and Grace stepping up to help and how much they have been educated on cooking! You would be surprised at young people lots older than them not knowing how to do anything! I actually asked a young lady yesterday in her thirties if she knew how to cut up a whole chicken, and she said no ! Keep teaching! You are a great mother!

[@ashley-fayme3919]

You’re doing a great job of what you have right now so don’t knock yourself you’re doing it. What a mother supposed to do take care of her children and feed her children ,however it’s possible for you to get it done and if it’s store-bought that’s OK well you’re prepping and getting things done and I love that you’re a great mother and don’t let nobody tell you different❤

[@kebergify]

I love to see kids sitting on counters while helping to cook or on the sink edge...they are learning and will be able to take care of themselves and their families in the future. You are a great Mom, Bri.

[@susanprice3454]

Grace did so good. She is a natural in front of the camera. And you are right that you do the best you can where you are. And you are doing fabulous. Your kids will not care that you didn't make the pasta or can the tomatoes or make the cheese. They got to spend more time with you instead. You are doing great.

[@beezhomestead6576]

Exactly Bri! Just having meals ahead and not worrying about what your going to feeds kids every meal is a relief in itself. Well done. 😊

You are absolutely right be thankful for every blessing whether it's homemade or not. God knows what we need and what will work to bless us so we in turn can bless others.

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Bri, I am so impressed with the 16 lasagna/casserole that you made in one afternoon/evening. I don’t know anybody that does that and you also cleaned up your kitchen at the same time. I think it’s good advice to tell people to clean up as they go so that it’s not so overwhelming. You’re teaching your children great values and just showing them that simple rule. I think often times when you allow your child to play all day in your room and not put anything away throughout the day and then expect them to clean it up just before bedtime, that huge mess is just too much for them to handle. So your example is wonderful. I loved your cooking explanations as you showed us how you did things and why you did it. I love that you allow the children to cook with you. I love that you put the pasta out to drain on the towels and cover it up so it didn’t dry out. I have used those shells before and you were absolutely right about leaving them a Dante, slightly undercooked because otherwise not only do they fall apart when you’re trying to stuff them they will fall apart when you cook them for that additional 15 to 25 minutes. I made them for Easter one year and mine were a little baskets… Same thing you had only with a handle on it and while they were cute and beautiful and unique, I definitely overcooked mine the first time. It was a learning lesson and I never let that happen again. I also loved it that you allow the children to come in and eat the broken pasta shells instead of say no don’t touch you can’t have it I’m going to use it, which is what my mother would’ve done. I do understand why she was that way because they were 12 children plush often times we had anywhere from 4 to 10 more children at our table because cousins and hired hands children would be and our meals during the summertime. Nonetheless, you have a large family and you are teaching your children so many wonderful loving values and I think you’re MARVELOUS Bri❣️

[@drekfletch]

If you leave the lid on the pot, the contained pressure is enough that you can turn the burner down and it will still simmer. On my stove, it's just above "low". That way you're using less gas/electricity. Unless you're using the stove to add humidity / heat to the house, also. Rinsing the pasta in cold / ice water will help reduce the sticking.

[@dharmaslife]
