Homemaker Prepares a WEEKS worth of Comforting Postpartum Freezer Meals

[@RootedDiasporans]

Living a dream! You’re so blessed to be able to homemake without a 9-5 job out of the home stress free, with more than enough to eat, and live with.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

YES I'm extremely blessed to have a husband who is willing to work hard, sacrifice and provide for me and my children. Don't be fooled by appearances. We live on a single educators salary. We live VERY frugal. This is our choice, but it comes at great sacrifice. We don't drive new cars, we don't have nice things. I don't buy new things very often at all; mostly thrift everything! Just wanted you to know that life isn't perfect. Everything comes at a cost in life. But this is what we feel is worth the sacrifice. And life is not stress free. Thanks for your comment. I wish you the best life has to offer! Sincerely, Jenilee

Don't ever make excuses for what you prepare! During different times you need different shortcuts, etc. Whatever you share is beautiful!

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you. I know this was said out of love.

[@Simplyfarmhouse7]

Some ideas for you! If you want to you can store your oats, flours, rice and sugar in food safe 5 gallon buckets instead of your bags. To kill bugs in your flour its best to be stored them in the freezer for a month or two. After the flour has warmed back up to room temps then store it in a 5 gallon bucket. These buckets keep bugs out and stackable in a corner or in a closet for space saver and it frees up the space they were using for other food storage. ♥ I love old farmhouses! I used to live in a old farmhouse, Oh how I miss it. Farmhouses will change your life, it teaches you to seek out old ways and it teaches you to slow down and live a more simpler life. It helps the children to have adventures on the farm. It's the best way to raise children with old fashion play! LIGHTS out is memories for your kids. how fun to eat with a oil lamp!

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Such great advise! Thank you! We plan to get a deep freezer soon. And then we can store more. And the 5 gallon buckets are must! I'm working on it. And I absolutely agree with you about the old houses! So special 💖

[@naty1012]

I don't do many freezer meals because of the lack of space. I don't have a pantry or basement either.

[@hjburns]

I look forward to your videos every week! No excuses are needed for hard work! Your family will appreciate all that you have done!

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Love your channel.

This is my favorite video of yours!!! I love cooking ideas that I can make for my family. I loved the kids sneaking the mozzarella cheese when you were making pizzas😂. I hope your birth goes smoothly and can’t wait to hear all about it!

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you Sarah! It's nice to know which videos you like. I know the kids love to taste test in the kitchen 😁.

[@nancymweasel6561]

Love those huge jars you have flour and meal in. Look larger than 1 gallon for sure.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

thank you!!!

[@Ladyofthelandandlord]

What a beautiful and bountiful garden harvest! I’d like to try the cilantro lime chicken and maybe the mozzarella- I’ve never tried cheese before! Enjoy this time of preparation and prayers for safe arrival of your precious baby 💗

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you so much! That sounds awesome! And thanks for the prayers!

[@kittyrichards9915]

[@birgitelisabeth9661]

What kind of flowers were you arranging in the copper kettle? They are beautiful.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Zinnias 💐

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

Looks delicious

[@mamaea6129]

Just started watching this video, excited to see what you make! I am 31 weeks with my 3rd and this will be the first time I plan on making freezer meals so I need some inspiration 😅🎉

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Congratulations! Hope you find it helpful!

[@carrieherold7044]

Love your garden, it is doing very well, including the flowers. I really like the cheese making both the ricotta and the mozzarella. I’ve never had the nerve to try either of them. You make it look so easy, I might have to give it a try. Yours sure looked like they turned out good. Your recipes look pretty good also, probably will be trying them also. It is good to have meals in the freezer for emergencies or just a times no one feels like cooking, or not sure what to cook. I will definitely try your pizza dough and calzones. Yummy. Hope it’s not getting to hot for you with the baby.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you Carrie!

[@missyroo]

Everything sounds delicious! I'm definitely doing to try that cilantro lime marinade and might even give mozzarella a try. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you! That's awesome! Hope it goes great

[@cherylmarrantclmfarm8264]

Lots of great meals ❤

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you!

[@jessc6119]

That storm knocked our power out for 72 hours! We must live in your area? Not so fun when we had to stress about the $100s of dollars of food going bad in our fridge and deep freeze 😂 Luckily we got our hands on a generator to save most of our stuff

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Oh my goodness! That's crazy! Hope you were able to save your food.

[@melodya3670]

Enjoyed listening and watching your lovely video making delicious food!! Is there a pattern for your Apron? God bless and hope all goes well with your new Little One.

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Here is the link to my apron. No it's not homemade... amzn.to/3NIUKQh

[@titusgrove]

What pots & pans are those?

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

"master class premium cook wear" is what they are labeled. I got them from TJMAX, I thought they were so pretty.

[@titusgrove]

@@jenilee.thepioneerhome they are very pretty!!! Thanks!

[@tarasimpson8811]

Where did you get the green floral dress you are wearing I. The intro?

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Awesome! thanks!

[@n4tier76]

Where did you get the glass jar you had your flour in (making the rue)? I have been looking for a large enough jar for my flour that isn’t just plain. TIA

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

I picked up my flour and sugar jars from TJMAX. I do like how big and pretty they are.

[@lauriekerze3461]

The chicken wire with wide openings won't keep out minks or weasels.

[@punjabseth260]

Do not undercook chicken to reheat. ❤

[@kathrynbroome5966]

[@MaryBornforHealth]

This was a wonderful video and I marvel at your work ethic. I am concerned with your use of aluminum foil in freezing and cooking your food. Aluminum is not excreted efficiently by the body and the toxic burden builds up. It is especially disconcerting for children and pregnant women. One answer is to line the foil pans with parchment so that the aluminum does not come in contact with food. The sheets of aluminum can also be lined with parchment. I do this all the time. The acidity in some food like tomatoes can actually etch the foil. I put spaghetti sauce in a small dish and covered it with foil; left it overnight and was amazed at the flakes of foil that fell into the sauce. If you hold the foil up to the light you will see the little holes the acidity of the sauce created. (It was an eye-opening experiement for me), I felt it important to share this information with you and your viewers. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6804775/

[@jenilee.thepioneerhome]

Thank you for this information. I actually don't make very many freezer meals or meals in foil that often. Thank you for your concern for our family. I will look into it. Having a collection of glass baking dishes would be a great idea for freezer meals, for the future. Thanks! and Best wishes!
