We love doing freezer meals. And recently we have started doing individual freezer dinners. We have a nephew that loves Hungry Man dinners, and since I am a personal chef I thought I could make him Farm Man dinners, since we live on a farm, that would have less additives and be more tasty. And I would also dinners already in the freezer, ready to pop in the oven or microwave when we have had a long busy day on the farm. Well we cannot believe how God is blessing. The word is out and I am now making individual freezer meals for a number of seniors in our community, plus my regular clients. And since we use fresh ingredients the meals taste fresh when you heat them. Freezer meals are great, I know it has saved us from coming in hungry and just ordering a pizza, or going to get fast food because we are too tired to cook. Thank you for sharing your meal ideas with all of us out here. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.

Hey what containers do you use for individual freezer meals

@amyarmstrong5603

@@grannys-cooking-faith I use Freshware Meal Prep Containers that you can purchase from Amazon. They are great! I use the 3 compartment containers the most. But I also use the 1 compartment containers for meals for my parents, and lunches for my husband.

That's awesome Amy! I'm also planning to prepare and store freezer meals for my family of 4 on monthly basis.. If I cook food and store in freezer bags, how do you thaw them when you are ready to eat? Overnight in refrigerator or oven? Also, for how long do you normally store cooked food? I know raw meat etc. can store for upto 6-8 months easily, but I'm wondering more about cooked food. Thanks in advance and waiting for your reply!!

@amymaryon

We sometimes thaw them for a few days..it takes that long or if i forgot then I go straight from freezer. Cook at a lower temp to avoid overcooked food. Usually i store 2-3 month...6 is longest..I usually clean out the freezer by then

In Puerto Rican cooking, we use a cooking base called SOFRITO that is similar to how you blend veggies. Ours consists of onion, pepper, cilantro & garlic. The traditional has a couple more ingredients but that's our base we use for everything!

Having meals prepared ahead is such a great idea. One never knows what can come up and you already have all the ingredients you need. When needed during illnesses almost anyone can put them in the crockpot, oven, or pressure cooker and they're fed. Everyone should have a weeks worth of meals prepped ahead.

that is a GREAT idea about pureeing the veggies. I will now do better on saving them before they go bad and freezing instead of throwing away and using them in my meals.

I love how you just roll with the omissions and substitutions when you don't have something. I stress over not having something so much and I really need to learn to let go a bit.

I know space is always a premium in my freezer, but recently I’ve started freezing things (example your puréed onions) in ice cube trays. Once they’re frozen I put the cubes in a freezer bag and they’re in serving/seasoning sizes. Take whatever you need - 1 cube, 2 cubes, etc. Love your videos.

Thank you Amy. Your a great inspiration. My moms freezer stopped working in the last day or 2 so she had a lot of meat to cook! She sent me home with a large box. I just finished cooking it all. Mostly I will freeze and use as we need but I’m making your jambalaya freezer meal x3. Thanks again 😊👍

I love having my ground beef and shredded chicken cooked up, portioned out and in the freezer. It saves so much time! I have a smaller fridge and the freezer isn’t big enough to have too much extra in there but having those meats ready to go is half the meal prep and every little bit of time and energy saved is another minute to spend with my family. Love and blessings to you sweet lady.

Wow! Lots a meals and saves anyone time to just do some other extra things around the house because dinner is already prepared and just need to heat or bake. Love de casseroles they are so easy to make. This is so helpful. I just do a different meal for everyday because we are only 3 in my house but I ve learned how to gather my fragment with you so whatever rice, veggies, meat, or chicken left it all become new meal to freeze and heat up for the next day either for dinner or lunch. See I'm learning Amy 😉 Thanks for all you tips and advice so much appreciate it. Take care. 😊

You and your family are such fun, genuine and giving people 💕

Last week for dinner I knew I didn’t budget for eating out, so I gathered my fragments and make steak quesadillas for the kids with some applesauce- so fast & easy for momma & the kids thought I made a gourmet meal. 🤣🤣

Hint whenever you cook any meat poultry beef lamb deer etc. Key to all tender moist meat place in pan with tight fitting lid @225 over night. Without adding hardly any water your meat will sweat come out moist juicy tender fall apart. Never fail 🦃 turkey at Thanksgiving wash clean out Turkey rub whole turkey with butter or oil. Put in LG.pan with tight fitting lid or foil. Oven at 225 degrees no water. Place 4 chicken bouillon cubes in bottom of pan no water put in Oven at midnight by 8 a.m. turkey will be done regardless of if it weighs 15 20 or 25 lbs. Watched my Grandma do this for years still do it to this day! Never fails no has it ever been dry

Thank you Amy for sharing all those freezer meals that gives me some ideas on what I can serve God I’m tired of eating the same stuff over and over they all really look delicious so I will try some and let you know

I love shepherd pie and spaghetti sauce. Beef stew. Pumpkin soup. Wonderful idea for hiding the veggies. Homemade soup

Nice idea to blend those veggies together. I didn't have any picky eaters so they all learned distinct flavors and all 3 are awesome cooks. Each one cooks differently too.

Grated veggies and fruit added into a lot of meals hides things too but gives it a bit of a texture so not too thin!

I absolutely love your freezer meal prep videos. I watched your huge 90 mins video just a few days ago. I wanted to see how you made your Bulgogi. The one with Sprite in it. So good!

I partially prep with cut and marinated chicken for meals to throw on the grill which usually goes with rice. I do spaghetti sauce, chicken broth and enchilada sauce to freeze. Sometimes I do double batch of chili or salsa sloppy joes to freeze which is helpful later when busy. The only thing I make consistently is lasagna. One for dinner that week and one for the freezer. I don’t have the energy to do everything in one day but I do like double cooking so the kitchen is only dirty once. Freeze the extra and meals ready to go!

I think that you doing this makes so much sense, and WOW I know it saves you money!!
