I save time with stuffed cabbage by freezing the cored head whole! Thaw it the day before and the leaves are supple and pliable. Saves me lots of time ☺️

Thanks for this idea....I'm gonna do it.

Instead of boiling cabbage wrap the cabbage and put it in the freezer. When you take it out and it thows the leaves come apart nicely and it is much safer than boiling water. I've been doing it this way for years and makes....makes it much easier

Yesterday when I watched you cook your meat, I didn’t think you’d have that many meals out of it but wowzers! You did brilliant any! That was a lot of meals and they all look yummy. Combined with the chicken meals you won’t have to “cook” for a long time. Just enjoy sharing with us how you serve them. Thank you Amy for all your hard work you put into your food, family and this channel, I’m grateful for it. Bless you my dear.

Hello amy another good tip for your garlic is to store in olive oil and put in fridge last for ages and then you have garlic olive oil x you can also do it chopped in the olive oil saves a lot of time god bless from across the pond 🇬🇧 xx

It lasts for months as well preserved in the olive oil as well in the fridge i have minced garlic and mixed with olive oil and froze it in an ice cube tray that works as well saves on the prep time and you only smell of garlic once lol 😆 xx

Stuffed cabbage leaves with the cucumber wow Amy there was some memories there for me. My Mum used to make this as she was German we haven’t had this for years. I am definitely gonna make this again xx

Wow, I've never seen them done like that. My mom was Czech and we called them Holupka. I never liked them (haha)! Mom would make this huge pot full of them with chopped cabbage in the bottom, the Holupka stacked in layers (like 60 of them!) and covered in water and white vinegar (like 2 cups).

Wow Amy. That was an amazing video of all the beef dinners. Such a variety. Ur family are so blessed to have a mum like u. Rest up n have a great anniversary weekend. Happy anniversary to both of u.

Goumpki is very popular here in Chicago as there is a large Polish population here. I'm only a teeny bit Polish. So my family never made it. But I've had it many times over the years from my friends Polish moms and grandmas. Good memories!

Thank you for all the yummy recipes! I agree do it once and have tons of meals ready to go. Thank you for your channel. I enjoy it so much!

Morning Amy! Nice to "see" you. Looking forward to your beef freezer meals.

I am loving the freezer meals. So do people question your methods alot? I noticed you explain a lot why you are doing what you are doing when I think it's really smart to do what you are doing :-). I have more time on my hands lately actually and that's when I do more freezer prep.. it just helps take the daily guesswork out of it and all you have to do is pull out whatever sounds good. Keeps us out of the drive-thru. So thanks for the freezer videos and the meal prep videos.. gives me a few more ideas and also gives me inspiration to get off my butt.

I always put the beans in with the meat after it's been cooked. I also added onions to the mixture.

Sometimes instead of doing it with sauerkraut I put in my stuffed cabbage rolls, rice hamburger, minced garlic, chopped onions, salt and pepper, a dash of to of soy sauce and then roll them up. Then I put stewed tomatoes

Good morning blessings to you all have a blessed wonderful weekend,

Just me & mom. When I cook 🍖, it's family size, and gets frozen. Freezes smaller, faster to make a meal, and more forgiving of power loss. And we ❤ leftovers. Mashed 🥔, we boil 4, and then use t hat h2o for instant potatoes 🥔, and mix a BIG bowl. Butter, cream cheese, garlic, herbs, etc. yummm.

My Mama is the same way with her green thumb! While myself on the other hand can barely keep flowers alive once I plant them in a flower pot and feed them miracle grow lol. I can't even keep houseplants alive either lol! My Mama also had a cactus in our living room when I was little that she grew from a little piece she took from my Grandma's cactus from when she lived in Florida. That little piece of cactus that my Mama planted grew so big that it got to be the same size as our old big wooden floor model TV! I don't remember exactly what happened to it, I think she ended up giving it to a friend but I know for a fact we had it for several decades! I'm so bad with the houseplants though that I don't even buy the fake little plastic succulents!

It was my grandmother's 80 years ago and she's still going! She even bloomed a few weeks ago 😂 she's a little confused sometimes, but it'll be okay 😂

Amy, I know you love your 10 kid Taco Chili, but have you ever tried White Chili? It's a chicken based chili with white beans, canned green chilis, a jar of salsa verde (green salsa), onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and topped with sour cream and cheese. It is really good. Also, you can top it with chopped bacon for a smokey flavor which is also yummy, I bet bacon would be good on your 10 kid taco chili as well.

Hi, Amy! Question for you: At around 36:57 in the video you talk about baked spaghetti and putting a can of cream of mushroom soup in it. I've never heard of cream of mushroom soup in baked spaghetti before. Is that a family recipe? Keep all the freezer meal recipes coming!

It was one my mother in law shared with me from a magazine...put cream of mushroom in middle ..sauce noodles on top and bottom and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.bake :)

you can make the mushroom soup dairy / vegan by simply using dairy free butter an a dairy free milk an leave out the beef bullion i bet it could be made gluten free too use corn starch or gluten free flour. take simple idea an adjust to ur needs they also have vegan better than bullion (chicken) base
