Once a MONTH Large family FREEZER LUNCHES

[@ColleenH38]

Amy please stop explaining and apologizing for what you feed your family. Your children are so blessed to have a mother who fills her freezer and refrigerator with meals. Many of those women criticizing you are feeding their family McDonalds and Little Caesars yet want to act all superior! You are doing a fantastic job taking care of your family!

[@amymaryon]

I know i just smile 😂

[@beverleypicard2116]

Wow Amy! The shirt/blouse you are wearing is beautiful on you. It like has an Asian flair to it. Color looks beautiful on you.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@melissamckenna9292]

I don't think you should have to defend your freezing of food. My question is: why watch the videos and then complain? Move on, lol. I am 1 person with 2 college/working "adult" children. I like to have food on hand for when they are here or are just so exhausted a nice care package makes their week. The problem is, I cannot use food fast enough to not waste. A lot. I watch you and a couple of other large family channels and just package smaller portions for our smaller family. Less mess, wasted food, wasted money, etc. and I love having a nice supply for my kids to enjoy. I can box up a nice supply of home cooked, healthy food for them in minutes. It is always appreciated when they are tired and need a little cheering up. Keep cooking and freezing Mama!!

[@amymaryon]

Thank you

[@kevinanddeb8829]

One sad thing about social media seems to be that people have become very comfortable passing judgment on others. If it's not hurting anyone else and it works for you, why find fault?

[@melissamckenna9292]

@@kevinanddeb8829 I agree! Some people only seem to feel good when trying to make others feel bad, so sad!

[@ColleenH38]

I was just about to say the same thing. Amy does a fantastic job of prepping meals for her family. I love to do the same and can't imagine being criticized for it.

[@MamaKatsHome]

Totally agree! Why watch knowing what it is going to be, I mean the title says what she is doing. Some just live to complain. We are a smaller family too, just four of us but freezer cooking still happens around here because we are busy, and sometimes I don't feel like cooking but don't want to go out to eat so a freezer meal will always make life easier and the food will be much better.

[@vee6976]

Never thought of using powdered milk, that’s a great idea for a freezer meal!

[@michelafolcio2501]

I love your videos, the American way of eating is often very different from how we eat here in Italy but still I can always find inspiration. thank you 😍

[@halemap271]

You can place a couple of wet paper towels under the cutting board so it doesn't move around when you use it. Love your videos!!!!

[@lillie9117]

My dad passed away 23 years ago when you described that soup with "leftovers" reminded me of him he use to make what we called "refrigerator soup" my daughter laughs when she tell her children about "Grandpa's refrigerator soup"

awesome I loved seeing the girls helping. I always wanted a large family, but the Lord had other plans, but Ive spent my life taking care of my nieces and nephews, and now Im praying about adopton. My brothers kids are here daily and the oldest 2 boys have requested I adopt only boys their age so they have playmates lol

[@amymaryon]

I'm glad u are such a great help to them

[@corran2000]

I hope that you are successful in your adoption endeavour. We have no children either but due to illness decided not to adopt as I doubt I would cope. Good luck.

[@countrygin2817]

@@corran2000 my health is my biggest concern when it comes to adoption. I know when I have my 15 month old niece all day I'm totally wiped out when she leaves. So I'm thinking if it's the Lords will, I would adopt older children. But it a baby was placed in my heart I would not say no. I would just learn a new routine and make it work, I know in my heart I could never turn a child away.

[@jodeew.3029]

Older empty nester....living with severe R.A and lupus ....I have good days and bad...but when I have good days which I call my " blue sky days" I cook and freeze single portion meals for the days I'm not strong enough to cook.... I make ham and cheese keissers, that freeze great and easy to pop into the oven frozen they get all melty and yummy. I also make taco soup, corn chowder and Salisbury patties with a mushroom sauce all are put into medium sized deli containers to freeze. Meatballs are great to make a head and freeze as well... Thank you for more ideas! Love the Philly cheese steak idea will try that my next blue sky day!

I love prepping meals. It's just my husband and me and I often cook extra and freeze leftovers for my 'I don't feel like cooking days' lol. I don't necessarily have a favorite but I love pulling out pasta sauce I've frozen and making some fresh pasta to go with it. Have a great weekend Amy!

[@tyleroreilly8195]

As a single man i thoroughly enjoy these videos! I cook for me and my boyfriend and while its just us, i still spent my tuesday filling up my freezer with meals for the next few months. I used smaller foil pans (9x9 for my casserole style dishes and some mini foil loaf tins for more individual meals) it is such a nice feeling knowing i have an abundance of meals to choose from.. for when i dont have time to cook or when im just being lazy. I love your videos on freezer meals and hope you keep doing them. I really get some great ideas and recipes. My faves so far are janitas rice and the jambalaya.. so much flavor!! Who cares that its frozen when its quick and tastes so delicious

[@amymaryon]

This makes me smile 😊 I am so glad you enjoy watching. Janita and Jambalaya are my favs too! Have a good day

[@christinenonyabidness6853]

Thank you so much for this video. I felt overwhelmed by meal prep until I sea how joyfully you handle feeding your larger family. If you put one of those silicone jar opener pads under the cutting board, it helps the cutting board stay in place.

I use bullion too Amy and feed ya lunch meat for sandwiches 🤷🏻‍♀️. Its still way better then fast food everyday atleast where trying to feed our families more homemade food. Plus home-made food we know what's in it and it tastes so much better. Have a blessed weekend.

Bouillon is a staple in a lot of dishes, especially soups, here in Belgium. Just a bit over your rice makes it taste just that bit better!

[@kirstenprater8678]

Amen. And it’s so lovely that she’s willing to help :). Poor thing is struggling chasing that cutting board around! A kitchen towel wet and wrung out and put down under the board will help so much. I watch your videos all the time, thank you for making freezer meals not yucky!

When we buy bread I freeze a couple of loaves and when we need it I pull it out of the freezer the night before to let it thaw in the refrigerator and in the morning I set it out and its just as fresh as the day it was bought. :)

[@amymaryon]

We do that too for about the first couple weeks then it gets a little freezer like

[@popehj]

@@amymaryon I have to freeze my bread or it will mold within a day or two. The temps stay about 80 in the house during summer as it gets so hot in summer (can get up to 120degrees.) Takes only like a minute for each slice to thaw, lol

[@amymaryon]

Yes I have found that too.

My Mom always wrote, “Do Not Eat” on food that was for something specific. Nice job having your daughter help. One tip I have is to place an older towel or something under those plastic cutting boards so they don’t slide around.

[@amymaryon]

Yes smart momma:)

[@InHimAlone]

Target and grove and some other retailers sell biodegradable storage bags. I bought some. They look just like a regular storage bag. I also got some paper food storage bags and wax ones. I haven’t put them in the freezer, but I don’t see why u couldn’t. I am suggesting biodegradable bags because you have so many viewers that would follow your lead if you showed them how to use products that were more eco-friendly.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you:)

[@icantbeliveitisnot]

I love your videos! It is just myself and my husband, but I still use some of your ideas and techniques to set us up for success! I'm sorry that people feel the need to give you grief about using bullion or lunch meats. They do taste delicious! Thanks for sharing your family, and your great ideas! Also, I make my own stock/bone broth in my pressure cooker. I just use up all my scraps. I put the root ends and tops of celery, carrot peels, root ends and peels of onion, stems of broccoli, (really any trimmings of veggies) and bones from anything. Chicken wings, steak bones, rib bones etc. Put it in my pressure cooker, fill with water, and cook for 90 minutes. It is a nutritious, and free way to make stock or broth and use up any "waste". I usually just season it based on the dish I am using it for, and it freezes beautifully. I keep a zip top bag in my freezer and throw scraps in as I make them. When the bag is full, I make stock. Thanks for all the helpful advice!
