I don't know how you do it, I'm exhausted just watching this. Forget Mother's Day, you need a whole month for yourself!

[@amymaryon]

[@raa8504]

I agree with you she do

[@user-dv9vr7pc3g]

Belle Serra hahahahah

[@TheKappybook]

Belle Serra she wouldn’t know what to do with herself if she had a month to herself. She’d probably last about 1/2 a day and then start cleaning... just a theory...☺️

[@6ftCowgirl]

She’s needs everyday for the rest of her life for herself!!!!!

[@cuongynguyen]

I’m addicted to these large meal prep videos. I don’t have a family to feed but I’m oddly addicted to them

[@amymaryon]

Lol

[@jamieshawgandy1175]

Me too LOL! Im gonna do a freezee meal day at my girlfriends house for her big family because it looks so fun! I have the $$ and they dont so im happy to do it. I’ll take some of the meals home for the mine & hubbys freezer.

[@jamieshawgandy1175]

I also did several freezer casseroles for my mama for a mothers day gift. She was over the moon, she loved it!

[@Avabliss]

Jamie Shaw Gandy That is so kind of you!!

[@danibabyy]

Me too 😂 I’m a family of 3 but I love these videos

[@emmac5794]

There is zero excuses why I can't make dinner with one child and husband. How do you look so good?... amazing.

[@sirinetakieddine2580]

Props to u mama. Just watching this made my head spin. I have 1 kid and i am not as organized lol. Ure a hero in my book. Good on u

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate that

[@cloverclo6329]

I’m not sure I would make this big of batches but then again it depends on how many kids you have, work schedule etc. it was really cool seeing SO many ideas in one video for meal prep and I think people should understand obviously that won’t work for everyone but pick and choose the tips they’ve been shown and will work for them instead of criticizing. You obviously have a system down but I can imagine it took a lot of work, planning, and patience to develop

[@nikistumme2482]

I am a med student and I don’t really have the time to cook fresh every day.... this is a great inspiration to get more organized with my meal prep

[@FoolyLiving]

You should save all those scraps for the compost in the community garden.

[@amymaryon]

Yes I will!!!!

[@amymaryon]

But when you have bears and wild animals and live on a mountain, it is not good!! :)

[@amymaryon]

Great !!! Thanks for being here, I appreciate that

Well start running and stop eating friend food every day

[@judybarker6346]

afgzee friend food?? Learn how to spell 🙄🙄🙄

[@saundrahonwytewa-lopez4053]

It’s crazy how people criticize how you plan your meals and make money stretch. To the complainers: Obviously, it works for them and that’s how they do it. If they wanted your way, I’m sure she would ask “Let me know if you think our meat portions are to your expectations. Let us know whether you think this is how you think we should do it.” It’s crazy how people expect you should do things differently. To the KZbinr: Your meal plans are great and inspiring. If anyone wants to change or add something different, by all means, do. And yes everyone is entitled to their opinion but some people criticize way too much instead of being positive.

[@amymaryon]

It's good everyone is entitled to their opinion. We do what we do for our family and situation. :)

[@reneelewberg4881]

Ha ha . good comment

[@moniquesalazar7778]

I am glad you enjoyed it...him military? We might just have a fall back job:)

What this woman does in one day I have yet to do in an entire lifetime!

[@dawncoleman271]

She never seasons anything ! And the meat is always frozen ! Gross !

[@amymaryon]

Watch regular videos..this was an old video..i didn't film as much as i do now...my food tastes delicious

[@alexrussell5507]

I know I’m late to this video but you truly are a super mom. Disappointing to see you being ‘momsplained’ to by other mothers in some of these comments. They should be uplifting one another, not teaching you how they think a mom should be. You are absolutely KILLING it & I aspire to be such a loving and caring woman and momma as you in the future 💕

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate that. Everyone has an opinion :) I am very content where I am at in life so it doesn't bother me. I know what I am supposed to be doing :)

[@meera1234able]

You are one strong and hard working mom

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@voiceofclarity5585]

I'm a single, working, homeschooling Mom of 3 sons (although one is away in college.) I recently found your channel from a homeschooling video you did. However, now I'm more interested in your freezer cooking. With me working full time and overtime, adopting a plan like this is what I need to help our days and weeks run more smoothly (with regards to their eating and my scheduling.) Thanks for all the recipes, tips, ideas and the sheer inspiration that you share with us.

[@amymaryon]

So glad u are here and happy you have found something to help your daily life:)

[@sharinewman524]

Thank Heaven for dishwashers. Your kids are so helpful, i guess with many people in your house everybodys gotta help out

[@amymaryon]

They do, we all make messes and we all eat so we share together :)

[@amymaryon]

You can surely start somewhere. Yes you can! U will get fronted with rolled eyes and fun comments but if you stick with it and do not falter then u will get there. Give them a few things to do or they can't have....something...dinner, phone, free time etc.. Stand firm and let them know u are serious..start small. You got this momma!!! No matter what u have done... we have all been there..me too....just don't think it's impossible to change.

[@sherlynejean9188]

Good woman, I love and appreciate this video. I learned so much for a person who doesn't know how to cook, and I hope your kids value and appreciate the effort you put in for them.

[@wayfarinstranger2444]

Tip: Add lots of veggies and beans to make meat spread out more...save $$$

[@amymaryon]

Thanks!!!

[@DeeLuscious]

I read your replies to comments and I admire all the love you have in your heart to be so patient and loving. Also, your kids are very lucky to be wanted and loved. I envy them!You seem to be a great person. ❤️

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate that. I am glad you are here :).

[@Amberwood265]

I love making homemade pizza. Nothing else compares! One of my favorite things to do is add herbs and garlic to the dough ,which also makes fabulous sandwich bread too! Omelette bags! What a fantastic idea! Thanks for the video and have a great rest of your week!

[@amymaryon]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Amberwood265]

What I meant to say is the same herbs I use in my pizza dough (I go with Redstar Yeast's recipe its super simple and tasty), I have added to a basic white bread recipe. Just up the amount of spices. I tend to go with about a tablespoon and a half each of oregano, basil and thyme. I don't use garlic powder with my bread dough as you really need fresh minced garlic to actually taste it. I make a 5 cup or 5 1/2 cup white bread recipe. 2 cups bread flour and 3 or more of white depending on the season and weather.

[@amymaryon]

Thanks for sharing all of that!!! And thanks for watching!

[@Amberwood265]

Your welcome and have a great weekend!

[@ariannasaucedo1152]

I'm 25 and I've never wanted kids , but whenever I see Mom's like you, I just wish I could have a lil family, so I could be like this...just don't think it's in the cards for me, I really enjoyed this video! You're awesome ❤️

[@amymaryon]

Sometimes what is deep in your heart, happens if you let it :) having a family is such a joy that you can't explain. Did I think I was gonna be where I am at, when I was young? No way but am so happy I am.. Thanks for watching :). It just might be in your cards:)

[@jessXjessful]

She talks so fast it gives me anxiety lol now I feel like I’m in a hurry for no reason!!

omg anxiety aaaa tell me about it, she needs to slow down whislt talking i cant breath...

[@knottychelsie]

I have four children and I know if I don’t speak fast it is guaranteed I will be interrupted many times before I finish. Perhaps that’s why. She has a lot of info she’s sharing and many children to give her attention to❤️

Spot on!!!!😁

[@louisech1963]

Bravo !! Everyone in your family will be eating well and enjoying the summer. I applaud your kids for helping out. They deserve a standing ovation.

[@stacelock8081]

Thankyou Amy!! We have 6 kids and two are very little so my time is always stretched. You help bring such fresh ideas and a positive energy..i look up to you as a mum. Knowing how big your family is and seeing how little wrinkles you have gives me hope and reminds me to relax and breathe. :) I'm not religous at all but i still get alot out of your video's. Just wanted to say thankyou for helping out big families with your awesome ideas and sharing your big heart.

[@amymaryon]

Makes me smile. It does get better :)

[@lianreynard2894]

I love the concept but that is a lot of throwaway non recyclable plastic, could Tupperware work making it move environmentally friendly as well as cost effective?

Or even reusable Ziploc bags. :)

You're an awesome Mom. I hope you take plenty of breaks for yourself while you do all this prepping. It was nice to see your kids helping you prep the foods.

[@amymaryon]

[@frejah2568]

Little tip for pizza making: put the cheese under the rest of the filling, that way the filling will bake not steam 😺 Edit: The melted cheese will make a lit there provent the water from the rest of the filling too just go away (we don’t want extra water in the food, right?)

[@shannonpitter1044]

[@melindabanning7707]

I like your idea of getting dollars tree pizza pans to freeze them on a great idea.

I went to Dollar Tree yesterday and bought 6 pizza pans. I made 6 pizza for the freezer to use this month, it I fabulous! Lol

[@amymaryon]

Yay!! It is amazing and way better than frozen pizzas from store

[@ninamcrae7295]

Can we get your pizza recipe Amy? thanks ahead of time...

[@lockergr]

Yes but they likely have a nonstick coating and that is toxic. You have to think about the impact on your health that your cookware has. Why prep a healthy meal in an unhealthy pan?

[@ninamcrae7295]

They dont have a non-stick coating, i have six of them myself. But i use my cast iron pizza pans,they make better pizza.

I just visited your website and I was so happy to see all the food choices with the recipes. I’ve tried finding videos with a list of food choices for a family of 4 but they are usually unrealistic. We have 2 adults and 2 teens that eat like adults and I needed meals with larger portions and your meals looked delicious and perfect portions so no one is still hungry. THANK YOU!!

[@amymaryon]

You are welcome

[@Tonia.lynn2411]

From what I can see in this video, and reading your replies in the comment section Amy you are blessed woman of God caring for your beautiful blessed family with humility, love and a strength that only God can give. This is the prime example of a women who knows the important things in life and being a good steward over that which the Lord has called us to do. I adore large families and thought I would have one myself but the Lord blessed us with three beauties and I am still ever so grateful and blessed. You keep doing what you do and show us how to get it done!! God's continued blessings

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate all of that Carla!! He is good!!!

[@Foxy-uq8bu]

Wow I love your monthly cook ups.Its a good idea to freeze the crushed doritos so they dont get eaten.Are you going to bake as well?You are very organised and thrifty.I live in Australia and although theres just 2 of us I bulk cook meat dishes and freeze them in one portion lots.My husband likes meat but I am vegetarian,so this way meal time is easier.We buy meat in 2kg lots which is cheaper,and separate into 1 person serves.We also freeze bread,veges,muffins and I make small dinner rolls into individual garlic breads.That way we use 1 each whenever we need them.I admire you Amy with your time and money management,keep up the good work,take care,Foxy.

[@amymaryon]

I am so thankful for your comments :). I don't know how much baking I will do. We will do some snacks this month as needed maybe muffins. I like your idea of separating the meats. It's good to prepare and then it saves money and isn't overwhelming :)

[@rileyyumadd12]

Such a good job planning and getting all your meals together. Here I was thinking it was alot trying to plan what to eat for my one child and you over there being super mom❤️ good job girl.

[@amymaryon]

It's hard any size family or no family at all. :).

[@michellebarham326]

Looks yummy!! I need to pick up some of those pans too..we do homemade pizza..I normally just make a bunch of dough and freezing the dough..but I like the idea of assembling the entire pizza and freezing those..I have the space..dunno why I hadn't thought of that B4..Thanks Amy..hope y'all are enjoying your days at the lake and your slightly slower paced summer..We sure are❤️

[@amymaryon]

We are!!! We went today and it was nice, got rained out but it was still nice for the couple hours we went:) pizza pans are wonderful!!! So much easier !

[@blupoppy608]

Amy, I had to smile when you showed the Desk Lamps for your kids and how they were wanting one and my first thought was, that was God, sending you an extra little bonus :) Its amazing when you really think about it, how many wonderful gifts Gods sends us.

[@amymaryon]

He is awesome

[@jenjenb1209]

Thats so smart to crush up the doritos for taco salada so they dont get eaten. They dont get stale throughout the month?

[@amymaryon]

Not at all. We freeze them

[@rachiti]

Mason jars are also a good way to keep chips "fresh". Since they have the rubber bit under the lid, it keeps them from going stale as fast. I use the 1/2 gallon containers for chips, crackers, cookies etc. I starteed because it keeps out mice, pantry moths etc. but I love that I can buy one bag of chips & snack on it until it's expiry date without them going stale - even during the humid summer months.

[@amymaryon]

Yes they do. We use them as well. Thanks for sharing

[@spicycarrot444]

I had 7 kids at the house when I was younger....Holy cow you are a god. I wish I had found you then. I still have 2 and with my back meal prep is hard, to say the least. I cook 2 to 4 times a day. This is amazing and very helpful. Subscribed..

You guys eat a lot meat... maybe having some more meatless meals can save u money ...

[@luv2cook.]

Nina M ikr? Plus it’s healthier! 🌿

[@Youwh00]

I prefer vegetarian but this prep was for 12 people for almost 45 meals or more = 540 people meals........ which will be supplemented with veggies.

[@homemadebyjordan7537]

I agree meat is very expensive

[@homemadebyjordan7537]

I wonder what in the hell their jobs are to be able to afford all this

[@throwingmars997]

A lot of people including my family doesn’t consider it a dinner without meat. I can totally get away with just making him a hamburger or a steak but if I tried to give him like some veggies or mashed potatoes (things we consider a side dish) only he would be like thanks but no thanks. Obviously they can afford it.

[@dorothyzierk7985]

My mom used to make us bologna salad, it was bologna, onion, boiled eggs, sweet pickles, and miracle whip. She would use a meat grinder, but I use my food processor grind the bologna, then onion, then eggs, then sweet pickles and she would put miracle whip and mix it up. We would have it on our way to Arkansas for vacation. Stop at a picnic area have a bologna salad sandwich and chips on the trip. There was 7 kids and 2 adults. My parents are gone now but what great memories.

[@amymaryon]

Yes!!!

I am not to sure how i got to this video but WOW you just blew my mind!! Amazing..

[@amymaryon]

I am glad you did

[@rach_robinson0988]

This is exactly why I don’t want a ton of children. Too exhausting and expensive. It would suck to eat frozen meals everyday, I like to be able to cook fresh dinners for my small family every night and on occasion have prepped meals or eat out. Kuddos to this lady for all that work and all those kids! But why not just prep lunches and have your kids alternate cooking a meal (or helping) every night instead? It would be a good learning experience for when they go off on their own and would help mom out greatly to take some of the stress off her shoulders. Many kids don’t cook today and have no idea how to take care of themselves when they move out.

[@amymaryon]

My life is zero stress when compared to most of the world and we have children because we LOVE them that much. When I can look at my children and see my husband and myself in them, it's pretty cool. Sure we don't have two car payments and credit card debt like the rest of the world but I sure wouldn't trade in any of my babies for debt. We eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies this is just a meal prep not the whole picture :) and every one of my children knows how to take care of a home and can cook when they are 18:). Some like it more than others but they know basics. We teach life skills and prepare them for life. Life isn't stressful and crazy when you are doing what you are supposed to do. Large families not for everyone, I agree, when you go against what you are supposed to do, you are exhausted and stressed and have no money but when you follow what you are supposed to be doing it amazingly works !!! Pretty cool. I am glad you are here and hope you can take some tips for your home..

[@CLINTONBFC1976]

We have four kiddos and I started freezer cooking many many years ago to allow us more freedom in our schedules during summer. Longer days at the beach or parks were so much more enjoyable knowing I had a homemade meal pre-made waiting for us when we got home. Turn on the oven when we walk in the door, put dinner in, pop the girls in the tub!! Whabam!! Dinner with no effort and even less clean up 🙌🏻 Yes Please! As the girls got older and started after school clubs and extracurricular activities it became came a necessity!! toting four kids around with swimming lessons ballet, jazz, acrobat, softball, FFA, feeding pigs at the farm, Girl Scouts 🤪 This Mama needed all the help she could get!! Meal planning and freezer cooking made sure my girls had healthy home cooked scratch made food every night! Now that my oldest ( she’s 20) lives with her Boyfriend. They freezer meal prep as well and love it!!

[@amymaryon]

I thank you for sharing all of that!!! It's awesome and something not everyone understands:). Blessing

[@rach_robinson0988]

All I was saying is this is so much work, it looks exhausting. I couldn’t do it. I gave kuddos to this woman for all that she does. The suggestion of having the kids help is to benefit them so they can have fresh meals every once and awhile, which teaches the kids PLUS takes some stress off of mama. If I had that many kids, I would have them help me out with cooking etc. It’s a lot to put on one person! Moms need breaks! 🙂

[@amymaryon]

Oh yes we eat lots of fresh meals. When we do chicken freezer meal...it would be the same as someone buying chicken and then adding the ingredients right then, we just pull it out and grill basically we do the mess all in one day. Then we will make sides, sweet potatoes fries, salad, rice or whatever we want. So a lot of it is fresh. We are just minimizing the amount of mess and clean up it takes. When you are already doing it, you might as well do a couple more to save ya some work later.. My kids do help. We all help. We are a family, in this together. And I do believe that you can do anything you put your mind too. I never thought I would do what I am doing now, its rewarding and I absolutely love my life wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm glad your here. Have a great night!

I love that you use proper pans and not throw away ones 😍

[@amymaryon]

I do both :).

[@cheryljones2086]

You are certainly a hard worker and a loving mum, but you have grown children. Why are they not in the kitchen lending a hand? It’s a good bonding experience as well as many hands making light work!

[@amymaryon]

Watch next week's video:). On this day they were working :)

[@TheNeryloo]

I truly admire how patient you are and dedicated. I only have two kids but cooking stresses me out so much! Wish I could have just a bit of your patience!

[@amymaryon]

You can! Just ask!!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Great video and very helpful but PLEASE slow down. You talk way too fast.

[@andreagilmore8301]

Janette Lavender just slowe down the video

[@honeydewbliss4072]

Holy of she’s talking fast then I’m talking at the speed of light rip

[@berchyzgb4423]

I'm Croatian, I understood her

[@angelalewis32]

Way too fast.

[@JerryLindasPlace]

I am really enjoying your videos! 😃💝

[@amymaryon]

I am happy that you do!!! Thanks for watching

[@stephaniepinkley2244]

I give you props. I dont have children and if I did I would absolutely loose my mind if I had to feed 10 kids plus myself and my husband! Wow!!!! I sometimes have to search for ambition just to feed my hubby and I. Now I feel awful for ever complaining about cooking. YOURE AMAZING!

[@amymaryon]

:). I'm glad you are here. I'm sure you wouldn't lose your mind :). You would do what you have to do.

[@boxerloverakavalerie6997]

Your kitchen looks just like Jamerrill's from Jamerrills Large Family Table.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you, she is wonderful!

[@debrabros2650]

That's what I thought!

[@amymaryon]

:)

[@melaninqueen1973]

Forgive me for my opinion but Amy just seem far more genuine your moma in the raw without all the extra fluff

[@MelissicPerfection]

Woo. I’m exhausted just watching this! I’m really impressed with all of your food prep. You are one super lady!

[@amymaryon]

Thank u

[@lockergr]

Does anyone know a healthier alternative to plastic bags? I'm leaving to freeze large quantities of food but I don't feel comfortable using plastic bags and they always make your food taste funny. In an ideal world I'd have enough Pyrex to cover the job, but it's so pricey. What else can be used that's non-toxic? No plastics here.

[@nancylucas8555]

Glass casserole dishes or bowls with silicon lids. They are reusable and long lasting. They can also be baked in, are dishwasher safe. They are stackable in freezer also. I got my whole set on sale for $16, & another $3 off store coupon.

[@amymaryon]

Oh great idea!!!

[@lockergr]

@@nancylucas8555 That's a great deal. I'll have a look!

[@L-M-O-1]

you can prep & cook in aluminum foil pans covered in aluminum foil if you want a version that's lighter than glass & less breakable if you have an accident plus, they're recyclable when you use them enough times they've worn down or you poke a mystery hole in them.

[@tanyasolan4693]

Line your baking trays with tinfoil that goes up and over the top. Freeze and then lift out tinfoil package so the tray/casserole can be reused. Easy to stack but takes up less room.

[@soumirachaudhary3520]

You are running a special company 😊 ♥️🙏 your dedication is definitely blessed

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@mrsupchurch2987]

Love this! I hadn’t thought of freezing French toast! Great idea! How do you cook the breakfast burritos? Just microwave? Also, the sandwich meat that you chopped up-does it make it go further? Taste different?

[@amymaryon]

We wrap in a paper wrap and microwave for 1 min 30 sec. I just chop it up because we can use it for so many things... fillings for breakfast burritos, pizza toppings, sandwich spread etc. Does not alter the taste. It enhances it. If you take lunch eat and freeze it flat and then eat it cold , the texture is weird but if you puree it , tastes fine and texture is good.

[@GeethaNaido]

how do you reheat frozen french toast?

[@amymaryon]

Microwave or toaster

[@rolanddawson3657]

On top of being an epic mom, you handle skepticism in the comments with such class. God bless ya. 😂

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@destinyrickman4539]

is it safe to have cooked beef next to other raw meat? i dont think so

[@addriahagerman4026]

des tiny the ham, salami and bacon are all pre cooked. And will be cooked again.

[@L-M-O-1]

if you saw raw meat touching cooked meat, I'd love to get the minute mark cuz I must be blind then but also, food bourne illnesses are not able to jump from meat to meat through the air... they have to be physically touching in some way or germs from hands & you're more likely to get a meat illness from poultry but she didn't have raw chicken laying all over the counter when she was dealing with the beef nor puddles of chicken juices touching anything so I'm thoroughly confused as to where this came from

[@destinyrickman4539]

L O you can calm down, obviously the person that commented above you answered my questions. (: but thanks for your concern

[@tisharodriguez9541]

Wow! You did great. All those helpers! Just a FYI. My husband used to make pizza in a pizza restaurant. It’s sauce, a sprinkle of parmesean, cheese, and then toppings. Homemade sauce that tastes like a restaurant :crushed tomatoes, olive oil, fresh crushed garlic and Italian seasoning.

[@amymaryon]

Oh thank u

[@kaliefurr9419]

I want to know is where do you get those deep lasagna pans from?

[@amymaryon]

Sams club

[@TheFeatheredCottageWithDee]

When my children were still home I too did freezer meals. Life saver being able to grab a fix and know what’s for dinner. Love how your daughter wrapped the pizzas! Thanks for sharing and hope ya’ll have a very blessed week!❤️

[@keyboardwrangler2256]

Did I see you boiling ground meat?

[@amymaryon]

Cooking it.

[@bengali481]

Boiling ground beef is a thing in the freezer cooking community. You lose a little flavor by not browning it, but you can do more in stock pot than a skillet, and you get broth when you finish.

[@dawnwallace6337]

Keyboard Wrangler i think she fryed it then wash it in water to use for later in the recipe so not greasy..i saw that 2

[@Natsu-ej9zq]

I love how you are so excited. 😄

[@amymaryon]

:). Life is good

[@CookieCrumbFun]

I may of missed it but did you pre cook the pizza dough before you added the toppings & froze?

[@amymaryon]

Yes sorry precooked the dough

[@kayofthecountrywifeskitche9494]

amy maryon for how long? And at what temp?

[@amymaryon]

350 for 15 minutes

[@amymaryon]

I did cook them before

[@212davisesq]

I cannot even fathom how you do this. I cannot even handle a meal for myself. I am not joking.

[@amymaryon]

You could.. You just have to do:)

[@sarahsiskin6780]

Great video and Maxine is so adorable!!

[@amymaryon]

Thank you:)

[@debbieatkinson6711]

Awwwww. Your puppy is so cute! Those ears are to die for!

[@amymaryon]

Yes they are :)

[@Joythealchemist]

supermom

[@vn3138]

You're an inspiration, I'm 20 and I want so many kids and so does my boyfriend. I hope I can do what you do

[@amymaryon]

You can, if you want to:)

[@kimmicook1]

Those pizza lasagnas look so good!

[@amymaryon]

They are delicious!!

[@jamieshawgandy1175]

Those are on my prep list!

[@laradurand4217]

Is that cream cheese you added to it? And do you cook the pasta before or just freeze it raw I the dish? Where can I find your recipes please?

[@amymaryon]

The pizza lasagna it is a mixture of ricotta and mozzarella. Over at my blog www.plainandnotsoplain.com I have all the recipes :). Oh I do cook the pasta first but not the whole entire dish. I freeze, thaw and then baked

[@laradurand4217]

Kim Cook thanks. Will check your blog, love your videos!
