We don't really have the freezer space for full meals so I'm always a little jealous of these videos. 😅 One "freezer prep" thing I do like to do, though, is to make out a dozen hamburger patties at a time (3 lbs of meat, 1/4 lb each patty) and freeze them with waxed paper separating each one. It's SO nice to be able to grab a frozen patty out and have a hamburger in just a few minutes that tastes way better than the prepackaged ones from the grocery store.

Meatballs is where I used to hide 🙈 veggies 🥦 🥕 - blitz in a food processor any veggies and the kids will be non the wiser … I have even put a whole head of broccoli 🥦 in a pasta sauce and got my stick blender and made it a smooth sauce … worked a treat

Everything looks wonderful! I definitely need to make the enchiladas! When I make stuffed shells, I don't cook the shells. Just fill them ... some won't be usable if they are closed, so you can either set them aside for another use or run them under warm/hot water until they open a bit... and continue as you did. I add a little extra water to the sauce. The dish can then be frozen or, if being used within the next day, refrigerated. The shells will cook in the oven. I also make my lasagna with uncooked noodles. The regular ones, not the "no cook" ones. Thanks for letting us spend the day with you and for sharing your recipes.

This was a great video, with some great ideas! I like to do freezer meals also. I don't do a full day of multiple recipes, just don't have the energy. I like to make 3 or 4 of a recipe if I am making something time consuming, and have one for dinner, and put the others in the freezer for other easy nights. I only mess up the kitchen once, and it really doesn't take any longer to make multiples than it does to make one. You have some great ideas there, and I will be trying some of them.

I saw a KZbin short last night where they made crockpot cheesy chicken and rice burritos That had green chili, tomato, onion, taco seasoning and a few other taco toppings and it made 18 burritos. It looked really good and I will be trying these. But really it's just a reminder that crockpot meals are helpful during the gardening season as well and I'm always looking for new ideas because food boredom is a real thing in my life. You have some great recipes as well, many which I have tried, and I always love your videos like this above all others just for the meal ideas (not that the other videos are bad, I do enjoy those as well but meal planning variety is always a big issue for me with what I have on hand without having to run to the store).

I wrap in aluminum foil first and then cover all around (top, bottom, sides) with cling wrap. I've had meals last over a year in the freezer that way and you just remove the cling wrap to put in the oven.

Thank you for the meal ideas! Kelsey, my five kids aged 7-16 all really liked it when I would put looseleaf lettuce or greens directly on the table (no plate) at dinner and let them grab their own. This was not any ingenious thing I came up with, but rather just a mom of many little kids trying to get some veggies on the table. I’m not sure why it worked but they really would eat almost any veggie this way. We also would do a game of dinosaurs eating greens. I’m not sure if this just worked for my family or if it would work for other kids too but I thought I’d mention it.

I have found if I forget to thaw a frozen casserole ahead of time, I can put it into the oven just as I turn the oven on, and it isn't such a shock to the glass since it preheats along with the oven temp. I haven't had any shattered glass pans doing this.

Good Friday morning Kelsey! I actually set a reminder to watch your video when it posted knowing you were doing freezer meals. As always you didn’t disappoint! A lovely selection and definitely some recipes I will try. We don’t have any wild game meat but maybe this coming season my hubby will be lucky enough to get something. I’ve been wanting to do some enchiladas so I’m looking forward to giving that recipe a try maybe even this weekend. I already have some chicken in the fridge that I took out to thaw. Thanks for sharing all the recipes as well. I hope you and the family have a wonderful weekend! God Bless You.

I'm not sure how many glass pans you have but here's a idea that I do. I have picked up a few old glass pans that are chipped or stained from tag sales or reuse stores. I don't cook in them, but use them for their shape to freeze in. I line the pans with Parchment paper (I've never had a problem) and then fill with food. When frozen or frozen enough to hold it's shape, I use the Parchment paper to transfer to a aluminum pan. If I have the time to defrost the meal prior to cooking I transfer to a glass cooking pan as they will fit having been frozen in that shape. If not, I can cook it in the aluminum pan. This saves room in the freezer and much less weight on the shelves. The aluminum pans are usually just a bit bigger than my glass and I don't have to worry about it if frozen in the glass. The Parchment paper makes it easy to transfer but if worried about strength just place aluminum foil under the Parchment paper and when you transfer meal use the foil for the top.

I never have luck freezing cream based recipes. The texture of the cream always gets a little funky for me. Is there a trick to avoid that? For instance. I make a fantastic cream of mushroom soup, but it does not freeze well.
