Wonderful! Thank you for all the wholesome and comforting meal ideas using real food ingredients.

[@marciefort2904]

AWESOME video, Laura!!! I loved how you chose every day, simple yet delicious recipes for your freezer meals! You gave me some great ideas. Looks like you are stocked for quite a few weeks! This would be a great idea to do for a postpartum mama!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!!

Love these videos! I think you & 'Deer meat for Dinner' are the only channels I actually try your recipes! Going to head to the store after this! Thanks for sharing ☺️

New to your channel, and this is exactly what I need to do for my family of 9. Thank you for the inspiration and the recipes.

Thank you so much for showing us how to cook up these new delicious meal ideas! We're empty nesters so I'll fix some smaller batches! Hope you had a Very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Love this! Would love to see more! Saving this video for later! Great ideas for my postpartum freezer meals to do this summer!

Thank you for all the “new recipe” inspiration. 😃💕. Can’t wait to try some of them.

[@sherryseay6918]

Loved this video everything looks great and just think of the extra time you have now!

[@CottageontheCorner]

Love this! I don't do bulk cooking that much, but whenever I make a meal, I make double or triple so that I can freeze 1 or 2 extra meals.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

That’s my kind of style :)

[@suzibee2156]

I love seeing how other people make meatloaf its always so different. Can’t wait to try these recipes are awesome

[@inbark7809]

I made the lasagna and it was the most delicious and easy to prepare ever! From the remaining ground meat I made chili😋 Thanks Laura and Happy Holidays to you and your family💐

Thank you for sharing all of these great recipes and meal prep ideas. I do that at times but not always anymore because there are just two of us at home now. Everyone grew up and have homes of their own........we do love left overs however so these are wonderful ideas. Blessings

[@wanderingwithmeatball]

That’s so sweet of you!💕

[@ashleyestrada2983]

wow such great recipes 😋 now that I'm so busy with my kids and sports this will really help me because we've not only been spending so much money eating out. it isn't as healthy as cooking our own meals. thanks I'm going to try this. your meals are so simple yet make so many different recipes.

[@karisatotah8407]

Fascinating! I’ve often prepped food in advance but I’ve never thought to PARTIALLY prep it in advance. I really really like this idea! I could do one or two days a month and prep a ton of stuff and freeze it and all that would have to be done is cook it. This would take a lot of time out of the prepping-in-advance stage and also take a lot of time out of the cooking last minute stage, spreading the work load out. I like! Thanks for changing my world, haha. This might just be the thing I needed to be able to streamline cooking from scratch!!

[@oldsoulhomewithmelissa]

Thank you so much 😊

[@karenwhite7023]

That’s a lot of delicious looking meals Laura. Great video. 😀

[@cindyclark9534]

I found this to be very interesting. I wish I could afford to have that much food on hand to make all of these wonderful dishes. I'm a widow in my seventies and I find it somewhat difficult to plan that far ahead. Frankly there are days when I don't even know what I'm hungry for. I admire how organized you are and how you devote a whole day to prep cooking. You remind me of Lisa of Farm House on Boone. You girls wouldn't be sisters by any chance? I absolutely love her and look forward to her videos! Thank you for sharing this with us and blessings for a grace filled new year. 🙏

[@ouroilyhouse]

Haha yes we are sisters!!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

It’s hard to come up with a months money but when u can it’s a huge help My one friend did it for her 8 kids by using tax refund money 1st month, then saved up for next months. We would go help her cook and run herd on kids as it’s very kitchen intensive. Having kids go to gma for the day helps alot or having daddy take them for day is nice too.

[@janjentz1053]

Wow. What a lot of wonderful meal ideas. All things we would love to eat. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenhummel49]

Great video! Very impressive 👏 gives me some ideas for upcoming meals. Wish I had an extra freezer like you do! When we move ( I hope) to New Hampshire I plan on buying a freezer for storage of meals and meats. Happy New Year to you and your family 🙏🕯🙏🌺🌹❄⛄🌲

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@ohiograndma8655]

I really loved watching your meal prep for the month. I think you need a big Rival roaster to cook all your ground meat!

[@jessybsjourney3691]

Love these inspo videos!

[@binsk]

I'm loving this batch cooking, it all looks so good! My only tip would be to freeze all of your meals in glass containers so that you don't get plastic leeching in to your food

[@h.a3567]

Does glass not become too brittle if frozen?? Not sure 🤔, jars would take up more room in freezer than bags though. Maybe some other non toxic food containers??

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Yum!! Love that you keep things healthy Laura :)

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

The dollar tree has a star shaped utensil that works awesome for browning burger. I would always make such a mess until I bought one of those. Total game changer lol! I think pampered chef has one similar as well.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@homeschoollifemom]

I would love to hear your thoughts after the month to see if you felt it was worth all the time spent prepping the meals ahead. I tend to just try to double easily freezable meals when I’m already making them and eat one now and freeze one for later. Or cooking an extra chicken to have cooked chicken ready to go that sorta thing versus taking a whole day to prep ahead meals.

[@ouroilyhouse]

That is a great idea!

[@laurarysedorph7200]

This gives me some amazing ideas for dinners! Thank you so much!!!

[@beckyoverstreet7478]

I’m glad to see you cooking with deer meat . Do you have any tips on how to get the “gamey” taste out of deer meat ? I like deer meat but don’t like it if they have a really deep gamey taste so any suggestions on how to cook the deer meat to get the best results for tender meat and meat that has a milder flavor would be appreciated! Blessings!

[@ouroilyhouse]

My husband has lots of good venison recipes on his blog: www.castironskilletcooking.com

[@Handlesarestupid702]

Have you ever looked in to using the silicone freezer bags? I hate using plastic bags but I wonder if the silicone bags are any healthier. I love how you use a lot of organic foods or better ingredients than many of the batch cooking moms do.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Good idea! I'll check it out!

[@amyhardin2079]

Fantastic job!!!

[@1jmass]

Thanks for sharing these recipes. By using different meats, they are very versatile and will fit the preferences of pretty much every family. I was wondering if you ever take a day before these marathon meal preps to chop bunches of peppers, celery, onions, carrots, etc. so you don’t have to chop for each recipe? I realize you don’t know exactly how much you will need, but any extra can also be frozen for later use.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes I do and I have some videos on that!

[@nirvanashotsphotography3486]

Thank you! Great ideas, please post updates to see how it worked out. 💕

I should have mentioned that I serve avocados and sauerkraut at every meal. Plus, as mentioned, several of these will have added noodles or rice snd veggies when serving.

Thanks for the inspo! Just wondering, I've always heard it's a bad thing to thaw meat and then freeze it again before first cooking it. Same with vegetables. Does that bother you at all or haven't you had any issues with that?

[@ouroilyhouse]

I never had any issues.

[@celianicoll7060]

I do the same thing. Cook in bulk using frozen thawed meat, then freeze the resulting cooked meals. So long as you thaw in the fridge so it stays cold, cook it thoroughly, and freeze straight away it is fine.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I would never refreeze meat without cooking it

[@annelefevre9457]

You worked so hard. I am hoping this works out for you like you have planned. I think you will still find that you have plenty of cooking that you will still need to do.I’ve done this before, and it was a lot of work But at least you know what you will be making! There aren’t too many breaks or days off when you cook for a large family .

[@blessedacres2562]

Thanks for the video- I’ve been so out of ideas for meals recently. This was perfect. Instant pot is my fav for cooking rice. Ps. Any ideas on where I can find dry organic beans in bulk? Ps.s. How is that the lasagna doesn’t have to be boiled before hand?

If you have enough liquid in the sauce then it’ll cook when you put it in the oven. :)
