Massive Meal Prep Ahead Cooking!

[@heathervestal2382]

You have been such an inspiration to me. I had a tiny freezer, maybe 2 cubic feet, that couldn't hold much but I have been making double of everything I cooked and stashing it away. I bought my first stand up freezer last weekend and made 20 freezer meals last night. I have 6 more for today. When I get home from work around 5:30-5:45, it's usually well after 7 before we eat. Now it's around 6:30pm. I plan my meals out and one of my son's or my husband can pop in a freezer meal and I just have to finish up the side dishes when I get home. You have no idea how much you have changed my life with your "we can do this attitude". Thank you for being such an amazing teacher and sharing your knowledge. ❤️

[@lisawinans4311]

I am a teacher trying to make it through a long difficult year. After a hard day finding you have posted fills me with such happiness ❤️

[@pleaseimmastar17]

I'm sorry you're having a long difficult year. I hope this summer brings you joy 😊

[@kasslue1877]

My step Mom passed from the vid. She didn't believe in the vid. She thought it was related to end times. I understood what she thought and why but I made my own mind up about things and I didn't feel the same. She wouldn't let medical professionals intervene. It was heartbreaking. They even flew her to another hospital. Anyway I got away from my point. I watch you because you are all she tried to be. She wanted to be a Mom of a big family and cooked everything from scratch. Ground her own flour and made bread. She was amazing and help so many. I miss her and ask God to tell her I love her and miss her. She would have loved you. As I do! Your amazing! Love you so much! Bless protect and prosper this lady and her family Father God!

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you are part of this beautiful community. It sounds like your momma was a wonderful woman.

Thank you for cooking in your bathrobe snd shopping at Walmart like the rest of us do. It’s validating somehow. Thank you for the encouragement!

[@diannekmiecik3510]

Happy Summer to you and your large family. I am 62 and love watching your channel. Dont usually comment. I am a cook for a preschool. I cook for 70 to 170. I do it all. Prep veggies. Cook meals in 3hrs each day. I love it. I can relate to your mega meals. God Bless your family. By the way you never look bad. Your wonderful personality and loving heart. You are beautiful all the time. Your looking good since baby. By the way I was a momma of 4. Stay at home mom. I loved it.

[@maryloulauricella5617]

Can’t wait to see you doing your supermom work load in your new kitchen.Hope it’s big enough because you are so amazing doing all the things you do.!

Hey Momma, so glad you are here today to help me through my day, haven't been feeling so good and you sure help with your positivity and awesome family. Love all the animals, love what you did with the garden beds also, go Momma!!!!

It’s SO refreshing seeing another mommy collect scraps 😅 everyone always thinks it gross & im just like dude, our animals LOVE It?

[@morgancox2373]

I always have a scrap bowl on the counter. Lol

Watching you manage to do this much work by yourself fills me with so much motivation! I get out of bed and go through my plan for the day happily.

[@christie724]

Thank you for sharing like you do. I can't wait to see our beautiful Jamerrill cooking and doing all the things in her new very much deserved kitchen 🙌 😍 so excited for you ❤

Get well soon, try to rest and don’t rush getting well. I did and got shingles!! Wishing you all a speedy recovery 💕💕💐

Try using a plastic straw to remove strawberry tops. Poke the straw through the bottom and push top off.

[@CAH2727]

Your channel always brings me such peace

[@maryelizabethgross2418]

My Mama when she had leftovers would make string pie mix the noodles with sour cream, cream cheese and cheeses then put in baking dish and top with the meat sauce. Top with more cheese and bake till golden.

[@pamelarepec8]

A little trick I discovered to prevent the cutting boards, especially those mat style we like from sliding around is to put a wet paper towel underneath. Then I use the paper towels to wipe the counter.

[@auntrowdy]

As a North Texan I feel I must tell you that you MUST eat BBQ while you’re here. One of my favorites is Lockhart’s in downtown Plano (a suburb north of Dallas). It’s a super cute area with lots of little shops along cobble stone streets and the best brisket you’ll find in all of DFW! There are other places with good ribs or good sausage, but you can’t beat the brisket at Lockhart’s.

[@mistygoodson4025]

If she comes this way, I’d love to show her around…but Luling’s City Market is better! If you come all the way to Lockhart…let me know!!!!! Our small ranch/homestead is between the two small towns!

[@mistygoodson4025]

Oops I didn’t see it was a place in Plano, I thought you were talking about her coming to Lockhart (the town!) which is the BBQ Capitol of Texas.

[@busybaldaufs896]

I love how your husband's 'dad solution' for dinner is the exact same solution my husband would have.🤣🍕

[@EmmeFen]

Same as mine. I have errands tonight and he is like PIZZA NIGHT 🤣

[@larryblocher3583]

My name is actually Elaine (I share an account w my husband). I love watching your videos! Even though I am so excited for you to be getting your dream kitchen, I must admit that I will miss watching you juggle and balance everything as you prep and cook in your “baby kitchen.” 😊

Jamerill, that knife is everything, so nice to see you with a fancy knife cutting all the things.

[@paigerose8286]

You are the expert chopper - -excellent knife skills - learned a lot!

[@winpooh-pr8ld]

Love your “Not today 🐮 Heifers” T-shirt! Too cute 🤣

I knew a company would sponsor her since that video of her using small knifes for cutting veggies. It’s awesome the lord has blessed you

French toast is my favorite breakfast food. I cannot imagine eating it only with egg whites. Cheers to you.

[@db33400]

What amazes me is how you just keep adding ingredients and it turns out great. No measuring.....just add more. :) God's blessings.

Raining watermelon sounds good to me 🍉 All your flower beds and boxes look so beautiful. Your van full of flowers gave me a kick in the butt to go and buy some 😊

[@lizlamb58]

Dallas tips: Gaylord is fun to walk through. Fort Worth stockyards for the cattle drive and a cowboy feel. Arboretum if you are into plants. It’s so hot here already. Bring cool weather things and wake up early.

[@JamerrillStewart]

I keep hearing about the stockyards and that sounds exciting!

[@taraschmidheini4674]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just wanna say, love you very much Jamerrill, & appreciate you being such a blessing & an encouragement throughout the years! Happy 24th anniversary to you & Travis🎉 Enjoy!!

According to my granddaughter, the strawberry butter at Magnolia Table is the best! Make sure you try that on your biscuits when you go .

[@cleopatrablackwell3414]

Looking up strawberry butter recipes now, that sounds yummy for summer biscuits.

[@geelizz]

For baked spaghetti I add some pasta with sauce to the bottom, add a layer of mozz and pepperoni, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes and top with the rest of the pasta, more pepperoni, and cheese. Makes it almost layered and so much stringy cheese to find. I have done ricotta or cottage cheese in that layer too if I have them on hand.

[@michelleheslep8877]

Looks like you're almost to the fun stuff with the new kitchen, so exciting. I like how you painted your nails to match the knife. I do baked spaghettti with a meat sauce with bell peppers, mushrooms and olives and top it with cheese and then cream of mushroom with some parm on top.

[@susanr791]

Funny that can opener is the same one I have and love love it!

[@queenie5891]

I've got my Lifetime movie on the TV and Jamerrill on my cell! What a perfect day 🎉

[@JamerrillStewart]

Yay, I'm so glad!!

[@carolynmills513]

I know it sounds bizarre, but stay with me...add spaghetti and sauce as you did. Instead of sour cream spread with a can of cream of mushroom soup, top with American cheese slices. The soup almost tastes like cheese. Been eating like this for 30 years. Recipe from my mom.

[@christym6128]

I bought two Misen knives and two carbon steel skillets. Very high quality.

[@starlingmorris648]

I have that can opener that is battery operated and I love it! It opens from the top so there are no jagged edges on the top, and you can walk away from it while it’s working. Give it another try or two. You might need two going at once. 🤣. My daughter opens cans this way with a manual can opener.

[@maloryfordbooks]

Your spotted pig is soooo cute! Also, thank you for the entertainment while I nurse/rock my baby to sleep! It's the best!

[@jackieperkins691]

I love a good spaghetti casserole with melted cheddar on top. 😋 I've never tried it with sour cream, though. Looks like it might be good. 😋

[@natalie8538]

You need to see the giant eyeball in downtown Dallas! Enjoy a mambo taxi at Doce Mesas. or if you are trying to be fancy plan a dinner (no kids) at reunion tower. It has an amazing view! The Perot museum is awesome for the kiddos especially on a hot day.

[@PrincessDiana1256]

Jammerill, your energy level is amazing and inspiring.

Hello new subscriber and binge watching all your videos. What a beautiful family you have. That little Tobin is so precious. You and Travis are truly blessed. I would like to see you do Spanish rice unless I missed that video. Thank you!

[@laurenrt7564]

When you drive to Waco you will pass through a small German town called West- I suggest visiting and getting some great German food down on the Main Street and visiting the cute shops there as well as getting some wonderful kolaches! There’s also a Robertson’s in Salado that has amazing meat products and fun locally made items like spice rubs, jarred food- that sort of thing. If you want some great BBQ I suggest Pecan Lodge in Dallas. The Bishop Arts district in Dallas has some great small business shops that are fun to visit and you’ll be helping support small local artist 💗

[@tyeaustineric]

If you do end up going to Waco you have to go to the homestead heritage in Waco. It’s really amazing and the staff our extremely friendly.

[@chelseacampbell3751]

If the watermelon isn't very sweet try putting a little salt on the red part sometimes it makes them taste better.

I nice gift for friends who have been married a while would be one of these knives and dish cloths and towels, potholder. Things we need that are worn out, but we don’t spend money on ourselves! I buy several knives at a time for my gift closet and pull them out for birthdays or Christmas.

[@ClaireForever1]

I peel my bananas also before freezing. They are a real pain to try to peel when frozen.

Looks like the pigs were a bit unimpressed also since they didn't finish the piece they were on before looking for another lol. At least it was eaten, regardless! Thanks for sharing your gifts

the roaster pan in the bottom of your oven, a tip, spray it with oven cleaner and then put cling film on it and let it stay over night. the cling film will keep it wet and it will keep working. then its easier to clean. or leave it on for several hours. i got this from a professional cleaner on you tube

Cottage cheese, sour cream are more Bechemel but not necessarily a trade-off. From an Italian, original ingredients are the delicious flavors we are looking for. But just the melange of any of these ingredients is really delicious.

I did a mega meat prep on Saturday, we got a new big freezer and it was sooo empty as it’s more than 3 times the size of my previous one. I bought 20 kg of assorted meat (chicken thighs, pork, ground meat, beef for stew) and prepped it al to go into the freezer. It was exhausting and I might have gone over board because I only cook for my husband, my dad and me but it relaxes me to have portioned meat and don’t really have to think about buying meat. 😊

Another trick. Push a. Straw through the bottom up of the strawberries to pop off the green heads. It’s fun for the kids to do & helps oh so much to keep them busy, & you time for something else. Just make sure to buy an extra carton to compensate the strawberries they eat while they work. Lol

[@sherylm777]

I don't think the problem is your can opener. I started having trouble with my hand held can opener, so I tried several more expensive, cheap and in between. Kept having the same problem, then I realized they are making the cans thinner so they bend out of shape when you are trying to open them or the can opener can't grip the can because it's not wide enough. What ended up working for me was an old style little cheap metal one and an interesting Japanese more heavy duty rocking one. Got both on Amazon. The cheap old school one is $4 an change and the Japanese one is about $10. The Japanese one doesn't open as pretty, but it get the job done. I know those aren't ideal for the amount of cans you open at a time, but could be good back ups for little/big kitchen helpers.
