Save Money and TIME with Freezer cooking (Pantry Chat with Becky from Acre Homestead!)

[@karenmiller2974]

I enjoy watching Becky. Look she can’t sit still she’s itching to go gardening, gotta love her.

[@darlenecarver147]

To save freezer space, I line the pyrex dishes with foil , leaving enough on each side to fold the foil over the contents. Then label the contents, and freeze the entire dish. Once frozen, remove it from the dish and place in a ziploc bag, They take up less space and can be stacked. Then to use, remove from freezer, thaw in refrigerator, and place in original pyrex dish to bake. Easy cleanup as it can be served right from the pyrex dish.

I also watch both of these wonderful women. I have been cooking since I was 9 years old and started baking at 12. I'm a senior citizen who still loves to learn new recipes and techniques in cooking and baking. Thanks to Becky and Caroline for helping me too be creative in the kitchen! Debbie

[@luciawekerle3050]

Same for me!! I find both of them so inspiring

[@ig_s_bib545]

Because of Becky, I planted my tiny garden. I grew flowers “from scratch” from seeds. I grew squash, tomatoes, chilies, green beans. I’m actually teary eyed right now thinking about all she has inspired me to do. She can’t even imagine the “seed” she planted in me to get off my hiney and do something useful. I have a long long way to go but Becky and now Josh, her mom and dad are always welcome in our home and new uploads bring smiles to our faces. She’s a blessing to my family. She’s a blessing to me.

Oh my goodness, it's BECKY!!! I love her...she inspired me to start gardening. One thing Becky said in one of her bulk cooking videos that stayed with me is when you look through the freezer section of the grocery and see all the different meals use those as inspiration for the things you love to cook that can be frozen.

[@kellyfanello6716]

I love her too

[@kellyfanello6716]

[@annwood6812]

I loved this chat! Here's my tip for freezer cooking. You don't want to leave your frozen lasagnes or whatever in the freezer for 7 months so not only do I label my items, I write on my calendar say: Eat freezer lasangne today. I space out the same kind of meal on my calendar weeks apart so we're not eating the same thing too often. You don't have to eat the meal that day, just try to eat it that week. That way it doesn't get forgotten.

[@AmyLovesOldStuff]

That's a fantastic idea. Thank you.

[@janet5551]

What I love about Becky is that she uses real ingredients to make the freezer meals, some you tubers just dump a whole of of processed food in a bag or container and call it done. We prefer to eat real foods and love the freezer meals

[@Mommyofcurlies]

Exactly!! Her baby is going to be so well fed!!!

[@nancyseery2213]

I'm retired (older) and I know I can do more if I stop and take a nap after I garden. I get up around five so I can get out while it is cool, work as much as is comfortable, take breaks and I can get about four hours in each day. Shower, eat lunch and then a two hour nap! The late afternoon is for housework inside, reading or KZbin, depending on what I'm trying to learn. Diner, around six thirty and a little more garden time to set up hoses to water, or other short chores. I find it hard to sleep more than six hours at a time, so my afternoon nap is great! With canning or freezing produce coming up soon, I just save my reading until late evenings or winter. It's like using each season for it's best purpose, I try to place my work into the best hours of the day for each chore. The laundry doesn't get harder doing it at the hottest time of the day and the dishes can wait until after my nap!

[@jacquelinek5036]

That's brilliant! You coordinate the rhythms of your body, the day, and the seasons. How long did you have to experiment to figure this all out? Where did you start? Any tips you can give would be hugely appreciated.

[@wendyr435]

We do the same. Living in Southern Arizona we have to get up at 4 am to do our outside work until around 9am. We're celebrating early monsoons!

[@kathyfletcher4694]

I like to put laundry in before I go to bed and dry it when I get up in the morning. With only 2 of us we don't make that much laundry anymore.

[@denisecomeau6847]

We are seniors also and we take afternoons for napping and rest during the hot part of day. I do the most important which is dishes-laundry-toilet,and the rest can wait till I cant stand it or it rains.All summer time is for the outside getting maintenence done and gardens. We built our Hoophouse last year,this year a shade house and another larger Hoop greenhouse going up in the spring. Another large garden area we are building now while we fix the roof runoff water problem at the same time..bought a Dehydrator-have canning supplies if I ever want to learn it-but I freeze it all right now. We read and listen to volumes of material year round but tons during wintertime..

[@sarad2083]

Because of Becky, I've started looking for Pyrex dishes at Goodwill.. most are $6, new in the store is about $15. Same with canning jars if they're priced good. Now I'm on this mission to shop second hand as much as possible

[@kristiegillin9077]

Me too! I’ve never thought of doing freezer prep like that before and once I seen her doing that, I have to do it!!!

[@vanessarheadart9708]

I bought my first 9-13 a couple of weeks ago £5. I've only had round ones before.

[@sharikalous1121]

Except in the store new for $15 you get the lid. Goodwill you dont.

Goodwill is a ripoff these days! Saw one and it was $14.99, they even have dollar tree items for $3! It's getting ridiculous for them to get it all for free!

[@laurenparnass8343]

My Goodwill locations here in S.Florida have caught on and are charging crazy prices, $2.50 for a single pint mason jar and $15-20 for Pyrex dishes,sad to say Goodwill is no longer the deal they used to be.

Funny, cuz I’ve been doing freezer meals for a family of 4 for 45 years now. My future self loves the freezer meals. Think, take out the frozen meal, put it into the oven, set the oven to cook so it’s ready when we walk in after work. Huge benefit and no waste. Cost effective & very little waste. Thanks ladies.

[@tmdonner]

40 years ago before youtube I use to have to make freezer meals for my family because I worked during dinner hours. I used Sunday afternoons to make many meals. I used the protein to make the meal list. chicken--stir fry, chicken pot pie, baked chicken with pot & vegies, chicken noodle soup etc. The most important thing I found was to freeze the ingredients seperately then add them together for the freshest tasting.

[@curban616]

When you are making meals for the freezer, freeze them in a Pyrex dish and then put them in a ziplock bag frozen..then when you pull them out and put them in the same Pyrex to thaw. It saves on Pyrex and since the food is frozen you can reuse the bags!! Just wash them out! They stack well in the freezer as well!

[@maikeadam5354]

I don’t have batch cooking days but I usually cook 2 of everything and then freeze one, spaghetti bolognaise, lasagne, curry, shepherds pie, if I’m making sweet and sour chicken I do one portion of chicken ready to use for next time etc. really great when you are rushed for time after coming home and the 4 kids look at me as if they have been starved all day lol xxxxxx

[@HGICQueenDiamondAries]

I do that too, I make too much on purpose so I have something to put in the freezer for when I work n don't want to cook. Simple things like mashed potatoes and spaghetti noodles pre made make a big difference to me.

[@dahomesteadacre5099]

Yay for technological cooking inventions like a freeze dryer that give you more options and make your lives easier. You go girls !

[@TheCrossLegacy]

Talking about waste, the average American family throws away 30-40% of the food they purchase and around the world the household food waste number is 61%. This is why I went viral on instragram when I started teaching produce hacks to reduce food waste. The average family really needs these skills. Love you ladies, 2 of my favorite youtubers that I watch weekly.

[@BamaRollOn]

So happy to see you guys together. I wish we could mix our weather as a recipe. Equal parts wet and cool from your region gently folded into our triple digit heat and long extended dry spells. We could make a beautiful growing season. I can say my peppers are so happy. My husband also used his gas post hole digger so I could plant my tomatoes and peppers extra deep this year. It has made such a difference with this dry heat. They aren’t struggling with their roots stretching so deep.

[@hannahthehomesteader]

I'm in northern Montana. I just moved my family here from Washington to start my homestead. In the last month we got cows, chickens, and planted a 1/5 acre garden. This cold, wet weather has made gardening so hard here, too. It's been a discouraging season and I thought I was doing a poor job gardening until I realized how hard it's been for everyone this year. I'm not giving up though! I just started some different things indoors and will do a greenhouse next year to protect my more delicate plants. This is a lifestyle. You can't just give up if mother nature throws a hard year at you.

[@maritzakincaid4303]

Y'all need to watch That 1870s Homestead too! Rachel doesn't do "freezer meals" per se but she cans a lot of prepped ingredients that then become "dump n go" meals. My favorite is her canned tomato sauces: Italian flavor, Mexican flavor, creole flavor and plain, you can turn those into so many different dishes with just a few added ingredients. All you ladies inspire me in so many ways THANK YOU.

I have a ton of eggs to use up right now so I'll be looking for some breakfast freezer meal recipes. We're in the process of moving from farmyard to farmyard(welcoming the next generation in to the big farm house) and mornings, I'm never energetic enough to get a big meal going like hubby would like to see. He grew up on big breakfasts so getting some into the freezer to toss into our sparkly new air fryer will be great!

[@davidospina5216]

Hello Wild Nature Farm. How are you doing today?

[@palominogirl2732]

Exactly! Time management versus guilt versus the 'you're-never-done' homesteader mindset. For the past 3-4 years I've said to myself, 'have a smaller garden and get in more time in the saddle, work on my novel in the summer, etc.' Well, then all of the events happened, and I didn't dare ease up on growing most of my own food. But, last January I 'cheated', and bought large bags of baby carrots and canned them. So, this year, I may plant one row of carrots instead of four, and I'm leaving out beets. I can buy pickled or Harvard beets, and find deals on carrots in the fall. Summer is toooo short to be a slave, so I'm compromising and I will NOT feel guilty!

As with Becky, we are a family of 2, so large casseroles just don't work for us. We do leftovers but with a 9x17 dish, we would have to eat this for 4 days. I usually try to freeze things in smaller batches. Containers are the hardest part, but I found some smaller containers that might work. When I make spaghetti I make a quadruple batch and freeze just the sauce. For breakfast meals, I take a roll of breakfast sausage, cut into rounds and freeze on a cookie sheet, then I put them into a bag so I can take out as many as I need to make for breakfast. You can buy sausage patties, but they are way more expensive when the stores package them. I cook an entire package of bacon then freeze it, so I can take out what I need and microwave them for 30 seconds. I also buy "Grands" biscuits in the bag, so I can just take out 2 or 3 to make instead of wasting an entire tube of canned biscuits. Yes, I can make biscuits and have tried, but I haven't found a recipe that is as good.

[@TracieL1234]

I am the same with the small family. I have found small foil casserole pans on Amazon and I will do her large meals but put them into 6 casserole dishes. Yes, it takes up freezer space but I have 6 months worth of some meals so I do her occasional casserole, the marinated meats in smaller ziplock bags, breakfasts, breads, etc. I love the ideas and doing it, I just package it for my family

We must have gotten all your pre-summer temperatures here in middle Tennessee. The whole month of June, except 2 or 3 days, we were in the late 80's to mid 90's. Hotter than the last 7 pre-summer month years. Freezer meals sounds like TV Dinners. Kind of great to make. I like Becky's "letting things go on the way side" philosophy of prioritizing. I am also, so glad, you admitted that not all things get done, Carolyn. It makes me feel better about my decisions and how my place is left on the wayside, and I live in an apartment.

I love the freezer meals, but I only make microwaveable little meals for the hot summer. My oven does not get used in the summer, but I do the marinated chicken meals out on the poach with my turkey roaster. Take the heat outside. I always wait for Autumn so I can crank up my oven again, drink hot coffee, and enjoy a hot meal.
