I do this a lot because most of my recipes are two big for just my husband and I so I can divide them and bake one now and freeze the rest. I have four Pyrex loaf pans and four square Pyrex pans. I lay some plastic wrap in it, fill and freeze. Once they are frozen I pop them out and put in a bag and label and use the same pans over and over The meals stack nicely and I can unwrap and pop them back into the pan in the morning and thaw in the refrigerator.

Sei bravissima in tutto cio' che fai. Peccato che i tuoi video non sono tradotti.

Mary, Thanks for making these videos. I love the way you have brought so many people together, who share their memories of childhood. You are a Godly and humble woman and we love that about you. Love the recipes too.

I actually like having the recipes in the description box cause then I can just screenshot them. When I make the recipe, if we like it, then I write it down...along with any tweaks I might have made for our tastes....no waste of money on recipes I only use once. Having said this, I still really appreciate the work you put into making this video. I can see myself making a couple of things😊.

Mary, I love watching your cooking videos. I hope the guys at your house know how very blessed they are to get such good homemade food. I loved hearing your memories of bread baking as a little girl.❤ God bless you and yours❣

I love when you share your childhood memories with us.

The smell of baking bread is one of the best smells ever! I too watched my mother make bread with curiosity. She made it look so easy! Her bread & homemade cinnamon rolls were wonderful! Thanks for sharing these freezer meals; they look delicious!

Thank you for sharing! Making your own “ soup” is definitely better in many ways.

Mary, all of your recipes look delicious. You are keeping your boys very happy. 😊

I also saved all my peels from veggies, put them in a gallon size bag in the freezer. When the bag was busting full, I'd take it out, put it in a large pan covered with water simmer for a couple hrs and let it sit until cooled, strain and I had the best veggie broth for all kind of uses. Freeze it in ice cube tray and use the amount you need.

Everything you made looks so delicious. I’m sure there will be lots of moms out there that really appreciate some good recipes. The bread looked wonderful. There’s nothing better than a nice homemade bread warm with some butter, oh so yummy. Thanks Mary for sharing. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟

Thank you for the content and ideas for freezer meals. ❤ When cooking meals for 2, we double it and make a freezer meal. Eventually we will have a freezer full.

One of my kids favorite snacks was, when I peeled potatoes, I cut a thicker peel. Then when the wanted them as a snack, I'd season them and bake them and crip them under the broiler. Made a few dipping sauces and they just loved their crispy potatoe skins!

Everything came out looking soooo good , Mary you have magic hands . I wouldn’t want anybody watching me cook , I’m so messy , my mom didn’t want me helping her in the kitchen, she preferred my sister , I was too messy then ,too

My sister was the messy one. My mother used to say she used every pan in the kitchen just to make scrambled eggs.😅

Thanks for all your great ideas! I enjoyed your video. About left over vanilla icecream: we like a scoop of it in cold coffee and call it 'Eis-Kaffee' over here in Germany. A scoop of Vanilla-Icecream in cold cocoa ist popular, too. It's called Eis-Schokolade then. Both can be decorated with some whipped cream. So yummy. 😊

I love watching you and the things you share with us! Thank you for all you do! I can't wait to get some Lily of the Valley soap!!!! Every time you post a video I run to the etsy shop first haha You are so very appreciated more than you will ever know!

Thank you for these great ideas. I inherited my mom's bread bucket which is really just a large aluminum "bucket" with a dough hook and crank handle to help make large batches. It is just my husband and I now so I use the mixer and dough hook which is soo easy. There is nothing better than the smell of bread cooking and then slathering on butter and eating.

My Grandma also made bread every Saturday. She’d make a Cross on top the dough and say she was Blessing🙏 the bread before baking. Now I know the secondary reason to let the air out 😊Thank you for sharing your meal ideas

Thanks for all the yummy recipes, Mary. I love having things in the freezer just to pull out for a meal.

Thank you for all the great recipes! Remember Grandma making bread and eating it warm with fresh churned butter. Great memories! 🤗

Good morning, Mary... you are always so motivating and creative. I know I have said this so many times. Thank you for sharing such wonderful ideas to make cooking more delightful and exciting. I appreciate everything you share with all your viewers. Each meal prep look so scrumptious. Stay blessed Mary - much love to you and your family.....me from Arizona......

Mary you are such a delightful angel, you inspire me so much. I look so forward to you every wendesday❤ you are my favorite . You teach me so many wonderful things❤ keep inspiring the world with your love of family and us. You are an amazing wife and mòther❤ I know your mom and dad are proud of you.

All that food looks delicious!!! Thanks for sharing 😊 Making plans to head out your way to visit your shop. This will be the third time coming out there. It’s so beautiful out there. Love your shop too.

So lovely to see bacon being fried in a pan. Too many people do it in the over these days, and it always looks so dry to me. That bowl you mixed the bread in is lovely.

Love the bling sweatshirt, every women need a little bling in there life!

I watched your video before breakfast, and my mouth watered the entire whole time! Reminds me of my dad saying how well he ate as a child, (on a ranch in the wilds of Wyoming.) But nobody got fat because they all worked it off before lunch! (8 children and the parents lived in a two-room sod-house.) His mom was adept at making bread and my father said he could hear the resounding slap (to get rid of the air bubbles) that she gave the bread when he was playing outside. It looks like the men in your house eat pretty well! (But nobody in your house gets fat, either!) What time is dinner?? I'll be right over!! Mary (from Greeley, Colorado)

Mary: whips out the paring knife and peels those potatoes, leaving almost no potato flesh on the peels. Me: vegetable peeler all the way. It's nice watching you cook and bake for your family. The bars look so good, i date not make them. 😂

I am just always so blessed by you! As always thank you for sharing your videos with us! Many Blessings!

Everything looks simply delicious!💖

I do this with my favorite Swedish Mestballs. Always make a double batch and freeze one batch. Easy to pull the frozen batch and then mix up the sauce!

I recently discovered you on KZread. I feel so inspired by your videos. I watch one every morning with my cup of tea. Your demeanor is so pleasant its a great way to start my day!😊

Watching you make bread brought back so many memories of my mom. She pricked with a fork as well. So many people don’t cook anymore.

Thanks Mary - great recipes.

Everything looks fabulous Mary,your mum must be a wonderful cook and make some delicious meals.great vlog.

Thanks for a great video. I especially loved your reminisces about baking bread while a child. I’ve never seen a cooking video though where you had to buy the recipes…

You make it look so good! When my children were growing up, we used to take turns making the batches of bread. It turned out sorta like they were competing to make the prettiest, nicest batch of bread. Fun memories, good times. Thanks for the great things you post. I look forward to Wednesdays!

Mary, thank you for sharing all of these wonderful recipes, for the freezer! They look so delicious!💕

Thank you for another great video, Mary! So much wonderful inspiration!

Looks amazing!

Love your food prep videos! ❤

Enjoyed this video so much, thanks for all the ideas ❤️❤️

It all looks delicious

When I make enchilada cassarole, I cut some of the tortillas in half, place the cut edges against the straight edges of the pan, then fill in the blank spot in the middle with a whole tortilla (or 2 depending on the size pan used). Repeat for the second layer. This way I get a nice, even layers of tortilla throughout.

Enjoyed watching this video Mary. All the recipes look great.

Wonderful Mary!

Relaxing videos, Mary. Thank you for the freezer meal ideas.

Every time you do a cooking video’s… I think I’d love to eat at your house. Yummy 😋

Another version of the can't leave alone bars is to substitute with a chocolate cake mix and butterscotch or peanut butter chips. YUM !!

Very motivating 🎉

Hi Mary! Yes, I agree wholeheartedly that it's a great feeling to have homecooked food in the freezer awaiting the moment when you need something handy and fast. Right now I have lentil/kale soup and oatflour bread on tap. Do you ever light candles when you chop onions to burn away the harsh smell? It could be nice for you as well as good product placement for your line of candles!

Thanks!

Your chicken enchiladas. We have made that same recipe in my family since the 60’s only we call them green enchiladas. So many of those same recipes you my family made. Now my children and grandchildren make them. I loved the ham recipe. I will have to try it.

Thank you thank you thank you for ALL the wonderful recipes. I am always looking for new ideas. I love that you showed us how you made each dish. My mother never made bread so I don't really know how to do it but you inspired me to try! ???? do you let the bread cool before packaging it up and I always worry about the bread being not done in the middle.....tips??? I actually hate to cook but you make everything look so easy. I have a corn casserole recipe we call "spaghetti corn" that we love and my little grandson even called me one day to get the recipe so he could make it and put the recipe in a school recipe book. He had to write out the recipe for the class. It's called "spaghetti" corn because you can use dry spaghetti or any type of pasta noodle in the dish. I so look forward to your videos!!! Have a blessed week!

❤ Thank you

Mary, I bake bread as well. I used to butter the tops of my loaves but I didn’t like the crust looking puckery-though we do love the buttery taste. I got interrupted one day as I was taking them out of the oven-so I removed them from the pans and intended to get right back and butter them-well, that didn’t happen. The tops of my bread were beautiful though! So no more buttering the tops for me. My family never missed the butter.

i loved your video!

Yummy, yummy, yummy! 🥰🌹❤️ ✅👍

Great video

Thank you.

Miss Mary consider trying Hunts Ketchup, it’s much better I find. Thank you for the lovely video, can’t wait to try some of these recipes ❤.

I've been dreaming of under cabinet lights like you have, Mary. I think they make a kitchen so cozy and inviting not to mention you can see what you're doing better. :) Could you tell us where you got your lights and if they're built-in or battery lights, please? Thanks again for making our Wednesdays so enjoyable.

Yum!

Yum! 💕

Have you ever thought of doing a drawing or some type of raffle for your cottage guests? The lucky winners would get to meet you in person (maybe meet for lunch somewhere public Since I understand you have to be careful for safety reasons). I have followed your channel for many seasons and my husband has suggested us come stay in your cottages this summer. We would be coming from Georgia - but truthfully, meeting you would be the highlight of the trip!!!

I guess I take it for granted that I know the reason you poke the bread dough and others don't know why. I am a farm girl and my mother made everything. Yes it was fascinating watching the dough rise. But how do people just not know this? Plus the smell is heavenly.
