Thank you for showing us how to be peaceful instead of cooking at a stressful pace. That is much more important than trying to force getting too much done. I love the music!
I love your kitchen, it's so calming. And your so blessed to have a wonderful husband who helps you in the kitchen and even does dishes! You are truly blessed.
I am getting ready to fly out and adopt our 7th child, our son. I wanted to fill our freezer with delicious meals for my family while I'm gone. This couldn't have been more perfect timing Abby Jo! :) Many blessings this spring!
Congratulations on your new family member..🍾🎈🎊🎉 I always wanted a big family. I only had 3 bio’s before my husband passed….but throughout the years, I took in 9 other children(various ages) who’s family just didn’t want them…or were abusive. I found a few of these kids living on the street. I took them in, fed, clothed, educated them, gave them chores and taught them accountability, unconditional love, discipline, etc…. All finished high school. All but one finished college. I am so proud of them all…. I am pushing 80 now, and I look back and realize there was nothing legal about it..oops! … I never met any of their parents but we did correspond a few times to get birth cert. for school, etc…(some of the kids had hitchhiked at 13 & 15 years of age clear across the country😞) I had never heard of “fostering”…. And I never thought anyone would let a single old lady adopt… so while there is no “legal” aspect to how I took them in and raised them…..they are and will always be MY children! ❤️
I just found your channel and I have to say it’s the best on RUclips. My daughters are married and with their own families, this takes me back to when they were home and I’d make freezer meals and bake the bread for the week. Oh my Lord the wonderful memories. Thank you for having such a warm and gentle channel. Blessings🙏🏽
I appreciate the time you take to put out content like this. Such great meals, and its like standing next to my mom to learn along side her. I was just 20 when she passed and I never got the opportunity to learn from her like this. Blessing to your family.
I'm plant based, but I enjoy the mood here so I'll stay for the vibes. You make meal prep seem so relaxing and clean and I like that you acknowledge that it can be chaotic.
When my kids were young and I was a stay at home mom I would make freezer meals. Now it's just my husband and I. This video encourages me to make freezer meals on a small scale. All off the meals you made we would love in a small batch. I love the idea of shopping thrift stores for small dishes to use and preparing one meal to gift!
Thank you for this, Ms Abby. I love watching your shows, and though we do our meal planning and preparation quite a bit different here in my country, I am learning new things from you which I can certainly use here! Watching you from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Oh wow that was one epic cooking marathon. Everything looks so delicious, your family must appreciate how much time and effort you put into creating and making these wonderful meals for them. I am going to try your chicken pot pies I think my family will enjoy it very much. Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful recipe's with us, I am so glad to have found your channel about 2 years ago. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, it was epic! 🥰 I’m glad it’s all in the freezer now 🙌 so excited you are going to try out the pot pie recipe out ❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you found our channel too!
Hi Abby, that was one long day. I kept thinking to myself about how my legs would ache after that. Going to try your recipies probably keep the quantity on some for unexpected guests or just fill up smaller containers for later. I love your homemade recipe for cream of chicken soup. Going to try that as well. Man these recipes looked so good, and I agree that there is nothing better than a hot potato. The options for toppings are endless!
@@gailann7813 Yes, hot potatoes are the best! I’m so glad you are going to try the recipes ❤️ it was a long day and it takes twice the time when you film it. I was definitely ready to put my feet up.
My dear sister. I saw the video of you having to move. I just want you to know you're videos are like a awesome book series that is come to live. We Have walked with you thru each chapter. And just like every series I can't wait if there will be a sequel.i love you my sister. And hope great things are in store for your family. I will just seat down with a cup of coffee and start this series over again until we see you again .. Love you so much
I just found your channel and I'm already obsessed with your content! My favorite homesteading RUclips channels is Acre Homestead because Becky minimizes waste and she cooks with lots of herbs and spices...anyways...I noticed the same is true of your cooking style...minimal waste, maximized flavor! I can't wait to binge watch more of your videos.
Awesome! Thank you! I really appreciate that :) Welcome to our channel. I learned at a young age not to waste and stretch things while making them taste good.
You are AWESOME!! I love your channel! I love your dedication to your family! Each dish was made with love and patience. I’m going to set aside one day to store freezer meals. And it’s such a great idea to make pizza dough for a quick pizza! I am so motivated! Thank you for sharing!! 🥰🥰🥰
I usually make double batches for dinner and freeze half of it. I think taking a day to make 3 or 4 (or more) dinners at time is so smart. Thank you for sharing. I love how calm you were. Taking the time to sit back and relax. I just loved your video!
You really put out a lot for one day in the kitchen. You have every reason to have hit the wall. Your family are very fortunate to have a Mom that feeds them so well. God bless all families that love each other as yours does.
I just found your channel. I can't stop watching! What a beautiful homemaker you are! I feel like what you did in a day would take me weeks! Everything looks delicious and right about now I'm wishing I was your neighbor so I could taste test everything! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
This was a lovely video. I do not do much freezer cooking, but that makes me want too. Everything looked delicious. I loved the way you did your enchiladas. I am going to try that. 🌸
You are so amazing Abby Jo, I couldn't believe you got so many delicious freezer meals prepared and it was still light out your windows when you were finished on the first day! Everything looked so yummy and it must have felt so good to have your freezer filled with meals for your family and to share with friends. This video was so relaxing and enjoyable to watch you move from one dish to another seemingly effortlessly.
I also was checking out that window in the background. I just knew nightfall would catch her. But it was still bright outside when she finished Day 1. Simply amazing!
Hello Abby Jo - new subscriber here! Loved your video! Your soft spoken descriptions, use of beloved family recipes, help from your husband, camera angles and music!! Not a good cook here but wish I was - definitely want to try the broccoli chicken rice casserole- I think I can do it!!
When I want to have peace and tranquility, I watch your channel. You remind me of the days of the past when things were a little slower and easier. Your meals look delicious, and I will make a few of them like the stuffed peppers. Always wanted to make them. Also, your lasagna, and of course, is your pizza dough. Thanks for sharing what you do best ❤ your so lovely 😍
OMG!!! It all looks delicious!!! I would love to spend the day with you doing one of these freezer meal sessions. I feel that I would learn alot from you!! New sub here!! Keep up the great work. I love it!!
I wanted to share with you, since you said you can tomatoes and you ran out of milk while cooking, you can can milk to make "evaporated" milk. It works so well and has come in handy more than a few times. Coffee creamer, pudding (from insta-gel, powdered milk, powdered vanilla, and sugar), gravy, Mac and Cheese, etc. Mrs. H of Homestead Heart here in the wonderful land of RUclips shows you how to do it and while you're there, check out her canned butter method. It is so amazing and I used most, if not all,of her canning recipes and methods. I hope you give it a try and I hope that it works out well for you. Many blessings and thank you for a great video.
OMGoodness! What a blessing to have all those meals at the ready. That was a long day of cooking & I love how it was all scratch made. All the dishes looked delicious and I will definitely be trying them. 😋 I've been looking for a good broccoli, rice, chicken casserole. Thank you both for the video - you & Daniel make quite the team 😉.
I can’t wait to try the topping for the pot pie, I’m very curious about that. With spring coming on, you’ll be busy starting your new garden. It will be great to have a hot delicious meal to serve when you’re so exhausted from gardening. Happy spring 😊🙏🌷
I have to tell you that I think your kitchen is wonderful. Great tips. Having a helper can really make difference. I love doing my cooking days with someone, really makes it even better
My first time watching your video! You are so calming and very organized so I enjoyed this video very much. One thing you might consider is, instead of freezing your meals in the casserole dishes, which take up a lot of space, you can line them with foil then fill and freeze. Once the casserole is frozen you can pop it out of the dish, wrap it up, and slide it into an extra large freezer bag. When your ready to cook one you just take it out of the foil and pop it into the dish to thaw and cook.
Dear Abby Jo, I am new on your channel, like since 2 months and I want to tell, how honestly I love your videos, you and your beautiful family. You always calm me down and make me feel valued as a woman. I am watching your older videos as meditation before going to sleep and I want to thank you for enriching my life so much. All my love and suport, Daniela XX
I do make freezer meals, some of which are your recipes. I love the chicken pot pie crust you make, it is so easy and tastes so good. Thank you for helping me learn and feed my family real food meals. God bless you.
So refreshing to see a freezer meal video not filled with recipes that use a bunch of bottled, canned and jarred sauces and soups. Thank you. I'm very glad I found your channel.
Hello and this video was full of info and calmness. Ha! You and Daniel worked your tails off and watching you was so relaxing for me. Go figure! My former sister in law, since passed, was a fabulous cook. You remind me of her. She lived about 5 hours from us across the state so going to her house was a treat a few times a year not only to visit, but watch her cook. It was like watching a musical come together. I was entranced! Thank you for sharing. We always cut off the tops of the peppers and stuff them that way. They fall over, spill the filling and get all goopy. Talk about a lightbulb moment when you sliced the peppers in half. Genius! Oh. It’s the small things that get me going. As always, I appreciate your gift of time and talent. XOXOXO
I just love the love that comes from how and what you cook. 💛 also can feel the family 👪 love. Thank you so much 💓 for sharing your gifts with all of us.
I am a new subscriber and I was searching for a very slow comforting farm style cooking and living and I found your channel!! May I just say, I have 6 kids and I have been stressed out some times but watching your videos help me to come back to slow down and embrace my time at home with my kids starting with lighting a candle! Thanks so much for your beautiful comforting content!!!
I just happened upon your 21 freezer meal video. Love the recipes. I will be making them. I love your big butcher block counter. I wish I had all that room to spread out in my kitchen. I will be continuing to watch and subscribe. Thanks for the ideas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the freezer meal video 🥰 I feel very blessed to have a butcher block counter top, I love having that area to work! Welcome to our channel and thank you for subscribing 😊
Thanks for sharing it’s only me, I love Sparkling water because I do not drink Soda but I like the burn of Soda 3-16-2023❤. I also use Better then bouillon it’s good but a little on the Salty Side. Daniel did a Excellent Job👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for posting your recipes. I love freezer meals and am always on the lookout for some new ideas. I do love the more homemade way that you showed. I do understand times when corners need to be cut for the sake of time but the more homemade the better. I will most likely try them all. And YUM! That pizza looked delicious!!!!
This video was perfect for me today. I was watching it while batch cooking a ton of ingredients and meals for the next week. Thank you for all your hardwork. Pizza looked great, BTW. 😊
You are amazing! I happened upon this sight at 5:00 in the morning. It was so informative and entertaining to see the ease at which you and your Hubby work together! "Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all!" Prov 31:29
I know you take coffee or tea breaks, but you had to be tired after all that prep, cooking, and cleaning, especially since you had to explain it all for our benefit. I was worn out, just watching you😊Thank you for your calmness and kindness and good humor. As much as I enjoyed this video, I was relieved when you said “That’s all I’m going to do today.”
Watching this reminded me of when my kids were little and I did all the meal prep for a week. I've never had the freezer space to do the massive cooking. Now that I'm 84, I'm learning to cook for one. Not easy, after cooking for a big family.
I was blessed today to find your channel. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make those delicious looking freezer meals. And, I really wanted a slice of the pizza you made. I’m going to take your advice at the end to double or triple a recipe, and freeze the additional meals. I live alone with my little Yorkie, Charlie Girl, so having meals that are ready to go would be a huge blessing, especially with winter not far off. Thank you for sharing your recipes and skills with us. I’m going to have to go back in you RUclips library to learn more about you and your family. I love knowing about the people behind the channels I follow.
Welcome to our channel, you and your Yorkie! I'm glad you found us, and thank you for taking the time to drop in and leave a comment :) Winter is coming and it's my favorite time of year to have good meals in the freezer ready to go :) Blessings, Abby Jo
Thank you for responding to my comment, Abby Jo! My new 13 cubic foot freezer is being delivered on Tuesday, 10/11. It’s not huge, but it’s plenty big enough for me and Charlie Girl. I’m so excited to start filling it with some of your delicious looking recipes, especially pizza dough and pot pies. Thank you again for sharing your life, family, and recipes! Finding your channel has been a huge blessing to me already.
How exciting, a freezer for the two of you is a good investment :) I'm so glad you found our channel, I believe the people who are drawn to this RUclips channel are kindred spirits. @@sandrabrand345
Loving your recipes Abby Jo😋 ..so heart warming ..and tasty ..Nice to see Daniel lending a helping hand in the kitchen with you ..Quality time together ..💞
Your chicken pot pie recipe was delicious, a 5 spoon rating! The one recipe made two 8 x 8 pans and I gave one to my mom. I baked it yesterday during the lower electricity rate time, and had it for dinner this evening (microwaved). It is the best recipe ever. Big thank you, I will always make this.
Wow! This is my first time seeing your videos and this is so awesome! You're family should thank you every day for feeding them so well 👍 I would love to be your friend and in need of a meal 😄 This is like a month of food done in one day... Amazing ❤️
You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing all these recipes and techniques with us from your home. I feel like I'm sitting at your kitchen table watching! Love your video and can't wait to try out these meals for my family.
Wow! I am so inspired by your cooking show. It makes me want to go in my kitchen n start cooking. YOU are an inspiration to homemakers and the value of making home a priority to our families. I appreciate all you do to make this happen. May God Bless You n Yours 🙏💞 I’m anxious to see more and try these recipes for my family!
1st time viewer. I have to finish watching later... I am enjoying the cooking lesson, your way of presenting and the great photography. How blessed you are to have a huge island and of course a sous chef and family recipes.
You have blessed yourself rightly so..wonderful looking meals…now that it’s just me and hubby I don’t batch cook but I do still cook larger meals so that I pot them away for a later day… in the winter months I do this mostly in preparation for the busy spring months in the gardens…TFS…and a hello from Down under..😀
Love the video home made food is so much better you work hard and making it with love like how your husband jump in and help when needed thank you for sharing your videos with us may God bless your family 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Hello how are you today? I love your videos and I’m looking forward to a new video of stacking up the freezer hope you and your family have a blessed and wonderful weekend
I am a newly mum I have an 11 month old daughter. She's finally sleeping through the night so we all have great energy throughout the day and I feel like I can finally start pre making meals. So far I cook around 3.45 as I work 7pm till 11pm Sunday Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and doing this pre making meals instead of cooking meals those afternoons would be great to spend even more time with my daughter what's 1 day of full cooking apposed to 4 afternoons 😅 I will start off with 2 meals though as I only have a small freezer. I plan on looking at getting a bigger freezer eventually 😁 thank you and new subscriber ♥️♥️
Hello and thank you so much for this video. I was taken back to the days when my kids were little and I canned my own tomatoes and put away meals in the freezer. Now, I am alone, and do not cook so much like I used to, but it was great fun watching you do it hhhhh. I will try your stuffec peppers, and your pizza dough because I like to make pizza now and then. Thanks again and I will watch you again soon.
I JUST found you and loved loved loved your video I found! You and your husband are adorable. I can't wait to get to know you through your other videos. Thank you for sharing your sweet self!!
Wow I love the pizza idea, my son is a pizza addict. We usually double up our ingredients and put the extra in the freezer. I can't stand or chop for long due to having arthritis, fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. The pain becomes unbearable and if I do too much it puts me in bed for days afterwards. You food looks so good and I really enjoyed watching this, many thanks from me in the UK xx
It is nice to have everything ready in the freezer. I'm sorry about your pain, we have some chronic pain issues in our family and I know that is tough. Have a lovely day!
Just happened by 12/11/21 remodel journey. I could not help but think what a wonderful experience that was for your children. A lot of work I am sure :-) but I felt a warm and a nurturing atmosphere that is so admirable. I am going to go back and try to figure out who’s who in your family. Watching a little bit of your cooking video I see how beautiful your kitchen is. I have to search what happened between December and now. My very best wishes!
Thank you, it was a good experience. My kids love helping and new adventures. I believe someday they will use these skills on homes of their own. We are now a family of seven, two of my older kids are moved out and live in Idaho. Daniel and I live with our remaining children
The comment got cut 😂❤️ but my five children live with us. And really it’s more like four, my adult son comes and goes with jobs and adventures. Two teenager girls and two little ones are what we mainly have at home. Thank you for watching older videos too!
I'm late coming, but this entire thing was so beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. In my house we do enchilada "lasagna", which is basically just layering the tortillas, then putting a layer of filling and sauce, then another layer of tortillas, etc. It is SO fast and so good! I like your taco idea, too! I need to find a good recipe for homemade enchilada sauce. Thank you!

Thank you for showing us how to be peaceful instead of cooking at a stressful pace. That is much more important than trying to force getting too much done. I love the music!
Thank you, I really do feel it's better to pace yourself :)
I love your kitchen, it's so calming. And your so blessed to have a wonderful husband who helps you in the kitchen and even does dishes! You are truly blessed.
Thank you, I do feel blessed :)
I am getting ready to fly out and adopt our 7th child, our son. I wanted to fill our freezer with delicious meals for my family while I'm gone. This couldn't have been more perfect timing Abby Jo! :) Many blessings this spring!
How exciting, congratulations 🎉 on your new child ❤️ so glad this will help!
I’m late on this video, but from an adopted child….thank you for opening your home to an unwanted child. You are an angel without wings.
Congratulations!

You are so welcome. I'm sorry for your loss, Moms are so important. Blessing to you dear.
You guys are amazing. I never thought I would watch an hour long video of someone cooking for hours and find it relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you.

A recipe for 6 gives is tonight's meal and pack up 2 bags.
Looks so good. So smart to meal prep like this. Really enjoyed watching you cook.

When you are filling your tacos,prop your pan up on one end with a rolled up towel.They will stay together without falling.

OMGoodness! What a blessing to have all those meals at the ready. That was a long day of cooking & I love how it was all scratch made. All the dishes looked delicious and I will definitely be trying them. 😋 I've been looking for a good broccoli, rice, chicken casserole. Thank you both for the video - you & Daniel make quite the team 😉.
Thank you Cheryl 🥰 I’m glad you are going to try the recipes out!
Love how you and your husband work together! My husband and I love to cook together as well. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Yes, I love working with him! Thank you for watching :)
I can’t wait to try the topping for the pot pie, I’m very curious about that. With spring coming on, you’ll be busy starting your new garden. It will be great to have a hot delicious meal to serve when you’re so exhausted from gardening. Happy spring 😊🙏🌷
Yes, I’m happy to have food ready for gardening time ❤️ I think you will like the pot pie topping, it’s very good.
I cannot say it enough. I love your calmness. I love how your husband helps when needed. I love coffee time😂❤
Thank you so much!
Jesus is coming soon
Good morning AbbyJo!!! I'm here watching this morning and I think it's amazing that you are prepping for all these meals. You motivate me sweet lady!!
Awww 🥰 thank you dear!
The best meal prep channel ever ❤❤❤
Awww, thank you!
I am so impressed with the amount of work you did. I am also in love with your wood countertops and big sink.
Thank you so much!
I have to tell you that I think your kitchen is wonderful. Great tips. Having a helper can really make difference. I love doing my cooking days with someone, really makes it even better
Thanks so much! 😊 I agree, it really is nice working with someone in the kitchen.
Impressive!! Your enchiladas and pizza look so good. What a wonderful woman you are!!
Awww 🥰
My first time watching your video! You are so calming and very organized so I enjoyed this video very much. One thing you might consider is, instead of freezing your meals in the casserole dishes, which take up a lot of space, you can line them with foil then fill and freeze. Once the casserole is frozen you can pop it out of the dish, wrap it up, and slide it into an extra large freezer bag. When your ready to cook one you just take it out of the foil and pop it into the dish to thaw and cook.
Thank you for the great idea! And welcome to the channel :)
Dear Abby Jo, I am new on your channel, like since 2 months and I want to tell, how honestly I love your videos, you and your beautiful family. You always calm me down and make me feel valued as a woman. I am watching your older videos as meditation before going to sleep and I want to thank you for enriching my life so much. All my love and suport, Daniela XX
Thank you, Daniela ❤️ So kind of you to tell me how you feel about our videos. It makes my heart happy to hear that you feel valued, because you are!
I do make freezer meals, some of which are your recipes. I love the chicken pot pie crust you make, it is so easy and tastes so good. Thank you for helping me learn and feed my family real food meals. God bless you.
Awww, I am so happy to hear that! Blessings to all your cooking endeavors :)
So refreshing to see a freezer meal video not filled with recipes that use a bunch of bottled, canned and jarred sauces and soups. Thank you. I'm very glad I found your channel.
Thank you! I'm definitely a from scratch kind of cook :)
It all looks so good! So nice to have so many meals ready to go in the freezer!
Thank you, it is so nice 😊
What a great hubby! Helping with the clean-up❤!
I think so too!
So beautiful! Many thanks for sharing all these moments with us. 🤩👍🏻💕🔔
I’m glad you enjoyed them ❤️
Hello and this video was full of info and calmness. Ha! You and Daniel worked your tails off and watching you was so relaxing for me. Go figure! My former sister in law, since passed, was a fabulous cook. You remind me of her. She lived about 5 hours from us across the state so going to her house was a treat a few times a year not only to visit, but watch her cook. It was like watching a musical come together. I was entranced! Thank you for sharing. We always cut off the tops of the peppers and stuff them that way. They fall over, spill the filling and get all goopy. Talk about a lightbulb moment when you sliced the peppers in half. Genius! Oh. It’s the small things that get me going. As always, I appreciate your gift of time and talent. XOXOXO
Thank you dear 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! What a special sister in-law ❤️❤️❤️ I love that you got a 💡the peppers 😊
I just love the love that comes from how and what you cook. 💛 also can feel the family 👪 love. Thank you so much 💓 for sharing your gifts with all of us.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it and feel the love of family and home.
I am a new subscriber and I was searching for a very slow comforting farm style cooking and living and I found your channel!! May I just say, I have 6 kids and I have been stressed out some times but watching your videos help me to come back to slow down and embrace my time at home with my kids starting with lighting a candle! Thanks so much for your beautiful comforting content!!!
Thank you so much! I am so glad I can encourage you in that :) Keep lighting that candle and enjoying the everyday moments.
I just happened upon your 21 freezer meal video. Love the recipes. I will be making them. I love your big butcher block counter. I wish I had all that room to spread out in my kitchen. I will be continuing to watch and subscribe. Thanks for the ideas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the freezer meal video 🥰 I feel very blessed to have a butcher block counter top, I love having that area to work! Welcome to our channel and thank you for subscribing 😊
Thanks for sharing it’s only me, I love Sparkling water because I do not drink Soda but I like the burn of Soda 3-16-2023❤. I also use Better then bouillon it’s good but a little on the Salty Side. Daniel did a Excellent Job👍🏽👍🏽
Love the burn too! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
All I can say is, YUM!!!!!! It all looks scrumptious, Abby Jo!
Thank you ❤️
That’s great prep and way to be prepared. Cooking from scratch and providing delicious meals fro you family.
Thank you dear ❤️
All of these looks like such comfort food meals. Your voice is really calm and soothing and makes watching the video a wonderful experience!🥰
Thank you :)
You’re very brave wearing that black sweater while working with dough! I’m impressed!
❤️❤️❤️
Mmm mmm. Freezer meals for my short stay with large family of grandkids. Thank you.
Great idea! Hope you enjoy the recipes and your time spent with grandkids :)
Wow! What a way to run a kitchen. There's nothing quite like home cooking. 😊
Awww, thank you :)
Thank you for posting your recipes. I love freezer meals and am always on the lookout for some new ideas. I do love the more homemade way that you showed. I do understand times when corners need to be cut for the sake of time but the more homemade the better. I will most likely try them all. And YUM! That pizza looked delicious!!!!
Thank you ❤️ I’m so glad you are going to try out the recipes! Freezer meals are so handy.
This video was perfect for me today. I was watching it while batch cooking a ton of ingredients and meals for the next week. Thank you for all your hardwork. Pizza looked great, BTW. 😊
Thank you! How perfect you are batch cooking too ❤️
You are amazing! I happened upon this sight at 5:00 in the morning. It was so informative and entertaining to see the ease at which you and your Hubby work together! "Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all!"
Prov 31:29
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much :)
Thank you for the video. You have a beautiful smile…that warms my heart!
Awww, thank you :)
I know you take coffee or tea breaks, but you had to be tired after all that prep, cooking, and cleaning, especially since you had to explain it all for our benefit. I was worn out, just watching you😊Thank you for your calmness and kindness and good humor. As much as I enjoyed this video, I was relieved when you said “That’s all I’m going to do today.”
It is a huge day of cooking! I am glad when I get to kick up my feet :)
Watching this reminded me of when my kids were little and I did all the meal prep for a week. I've never had the freezer space to do the massive cooking. Now that I'm 84, I'm learning to cook for one. Not easy, after cooking for a big family.
I was blessed today to find your channel. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make those delicious looking freezer meals. And, I really wanted a slice of the pizza you made. I’m going to take your advice at the end to double or triple a recipe, and freeze the additional meals. I live alone with my little Yorkie, Charlie Girl, so having meals that are ready to go would be a huge blessing, especially with winter not far off.
Thank you for sharing your recipes and skills with us. I’m going to have to go back in you RUclips library to learn more about you and your family. I love knowing about the people behind the channels I follow.
Welcome to our channel, you and your Yorkie! I'm glad you found us, and thank you for taking the time to drop in and leave a comment :) Winter is coming and it's my favorite time of year to have good meals in the freezer ready to go :) Blessings, Abby Jo
Thank you for responding to my comment, Abby Jo! My new 13 cubic foot freezer is being delivered on Tuesday, 10/11. It’s not huge, but it’s plenty big enough for me and Charlie Girl. I’m so excited to start filling it with some of your delicious looking recipes, especially pizza dough and pot pies. Thank you again for sharing your life, family, and recipes! Finding your channel has been a huge blessing to me already.
How exciting, a freezer for the two of you is a good investment :) I'm so glad you found our channel, I believe the people who are drawn to this RUclips channel are kindred spirits. @@sandrabrand345
Loving your recipes Abby Jo😋 ..so heart warming ..and tasty ..Nice to see Daniel lending a helping hand in the kitchen with you ..Quality time together ..💞
Thank you dear! Daniel is a treasure and I love spending time with him ❤️🥰
What a lovely lady! Thank you for sharing these freezer meals. I think the way you're storing pizza crust is brilliant.
Thank you, you are so welcome!
Your chicken pot pie recipe was delicious, a 5 spoon rating! The one recipe made two 8 x 8 pans and I gave one to my mom. I baked it yesterday during the lower electricity rate time, and had it for dinner this evening (microwaved). It is the best recipe ever. Big thank you, I will always make this.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!! I appreciate the five spoon rating :)
Love the chandelier over your sink!!! 💕
Thank you ☺️
Wow! This is my first time seeing your videos and this is so awesome! You're family should thank you every day for feeding them so well 👍 I would love to be your friend and in need of a meal 😄 This is like a month of food done in one day... Amazing ❤️
Thank you! Welcome to our channel :) It has been so handy having a freezer full of good food ready to go :)
Those were fantastic meals. I so enjoy watching you in the kitchen. Chris is amazing to help out.
Thank you 😊 ❤️ so glad you enjoyed it!
You are so sweet! Thank you for sharing all these recipes and techniques with us from your home. I feel like I'm sitting at your kitchen table watching! Love your video and can't wait to try out these meals for my family.
Thank you, I am so glad you are going to try them out ❤️❤️❤️
Such a good idea to meal prep before the nice weather comes to stay and your spending a lot of time outside!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I agree! ❤️
Wow! I am so inspired by your cooking show. It makes me want to go in my kitchen n start cooking. YOU are an inspiration to homemakers and the value of making home a priority to our families. I appreciate all you do to make this happen. May God Bless You n Yours 🙏💞
I’m anxious to see more and try these recipes for my family!
Thank you, I’m blessed to hear that! ❤️❤️❤️
1st time viewer. I have to finish watching later... I am enjoying the cooking lesson, your way of presenting and the great photography. How blessed you are to have a huge island and of course a sous chef and family recipes.
Thank you so much 🙂 And welcome to our channel!
Every meal looked amazing and I hope to make them all this next couple weeks and tuck 3 of each in my freezer. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
You have blessed yourself rightly so..wonderful looking meals…now that it’s just me and hubby I don’t batch cook but I do still cook larger meals so that I pot them away for a later day… in the winter months I do this mostly in preparation for the busy spring months in the gardens…TFS…and a hello from Down under..😀
Thank you ❤️ that sounds like a good idea for garden time. Hello, Down under friend!
Oh my, you are such a good cook. You are so calm. Would love to eat at your house!
Aww, thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. Your calm voice lowered my blood pressure🌺May Jehovah God continue to move you to help others. 🌸
Thank you dear, I’m glad these can be calming for you 🥰 bless you!

@@ForgottenWayFarms You're welcome! 🥰
Hello how are you today? I love your videos and I’m looking forward to a new video of stacking up the freezer hope you and your family have a blessed and wonderful weekend
Thank you! You too!
There is no way to pick just one meal. They all look delicious. Thank you for sharing this video..
I’m so glad ❤️ and you are so welcome!
You must've been exhausted after that long day of cooking! You are a blessing to your family!
I usually am ready to put my feet up, but I love having all that food put up in the freezer :)
I am a newly mum I have an 11 month old daughter. She's finally sleeping through the night so we all have great energy throughout the day and I feel like I can finally start pre making meals. So far I cook around 3.45 as I work 7pm till 11pm Sunday Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and doing this pre making meals instead of cooking meals those afternoons would be great to spend even more time with my daughter what's 1 day of full cooking apposed to 4 afternoons 😅 I will start off with 2 meals though as I only have a small freezer. I plan on looking at getting a bigger freezer eventually 😁 thank you and new subscriber ♥️♥️
Also to add I love your blog!! So easy to read and understand ♥️ I added your website to my home screen on my phone 😁♥️
That's wonderful! I'm so glad you are making time to meal prep and have more time with your daughter :) And welcome to our channel.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!
You have a low-key style, which I very much appreciate.
Thank you!
Hello and thank you so much for this video. I was taken back to the days when my kids were little and I canned my own tomatoes and put away meals in the freezer. Now, I am alone, and do not cook so much like I used to, but it was great fun watching you do it hhhhh. I will try your stuffec peppers, and your pizza dough because I like to make pizza now and then. Thanks again and I will watch you again soon.
Thank you for leaving a comment, I am so glad you will try out the peppers and pizza recipe! 🥰
I JUST found you and loved loved loved your video I found! You and your husband are adorable. I can't wait to get to know you through your other videos. Thank you for sharing your sweet self!!
Thank you so much! And welcome to our channel 🥰
Wow I love the pizza idea, my son is a pizza addict. We usually double up our ingredients and put the extra in the freezer. I can't stand or chop for long due to having arthritis, fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. The pain becomes unbearable and if I do too much it puts me in bed for days afterwards. You food looks so good and I really enjoyed watching this, many thanks from me in the UK xx
It is nice to have everything ready in the freezer. I'm sorry about your pain, we have some chronic pain issues in our family and I know that is tough. Have a lovely day!
I always cook from scratch. Thanks for sharing! Great ideas🤗
Just happened by 12/11/21 remodel journey. I could not help but think what a wonderful experience that was for your children. A lot of work I am sure :-) but I felt a warm and a nurturing atmosphere that is so admirable. I am going to go back and try to figure out who’s who in your family. Watching a little bit of your cooking video I see how beautiful your kitchen is. I have to search what happened between December and now. My very best wishes!
Thank you, it was a good experience. My kids love helping and new adventures. I believe someday they will use these skills on homes of their own. We are now a family of seven, two of my older kids are moved out and live in Idaho. Daniel and I live with our remaining children
The comment got cut 😂❤️ but my five children live with us. And really it’s more like four, my adult son comes and goes with jobs and adventures. Two teenager girls and two little ones are what we mainly have at home. Thank you for watching older videos too!
I'm late coming, but this entire thing was so beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. In my house we do enchilada "lasagna", which is basically just layering the tortillas, then putting a layer of filling and sauce, then another layer of tortillas, etc. It is SO fast and so good! I like your taco idea, too! I need to find a good recipe for homemade enchilada sauce. Thank you!
Welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
