Just a little tip...after shaping your patties, place them on a Parchment lined pan and freeze them 1st then place them in large zip lock bags and freeze them. It saves on all the extra wrapping and they stay well shaped. You can cook as many as you want from frozen.
I'm swooning over all that gorgeous homemade bread! I have Celiac, and also have to eat low carb for health reasons, so I can only dream about it, lol! I had a helpful hint [if you didn't do this already]...for freezer meals, line your 9x13 casserole dish with foil, fill and freeze; then remove it from the pan and re-wrap the frozen block. When you're ready to eat it, the night before, take it out of the freezer and thaw in the original pan for baking the next day. This frees up your baking dishes! Great video!
I just a few days ago have came across your lovely channel and I am hooked!!! I think you have hit all the marks for a successful and clean natured channel, I wish you blessings to continue to grow😇.
Hy, I just found your channel today. I love watching you cook, it's calming, you transmit tranquility. And the "vintage" bowls you use are divine, they remind me of my childhood and my grandmother cooking in the kitchen. Greetings to you and your sous-chef husband from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I have stuffed shells (you can’t make just a little) and chicken in dressing. Those are our two go-to freezer meals. I also make large batches of banana bread and bake it in mini loaf pans. It freezes and thaws beautifully.
Your meal preps and gigantic. I've done a few 4 hour meal preps and been exhausted in the end. I never would allow myself to take a break ,trying to rush the process. I think you are definitely right in making sure to take a break. I will try to cherish the moment and enjoy the process more .
I just found your channel while searching for freezer meals and I just wanted to say you are a delight to watch. I felt like I was sitting in your kitchen sipping coffee while you were cooking! Your recipes look lovely and I’m adding a few to my list to prepare this weekend.
I’m so glad you felt welcome in my kitchen 🥰 that’s what I hope people will feel with these videos. Welcome to our channel and have a lovely weekend ❤️
I am so happy to have found your channel. You and your husband are a joy to watch. Your demeanor is soothing and calming, which I never pair with the idea of a busy cooking day. What an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing your home and recipes.
I live alone now, but I grew up in a large family of eight. That remains my cooking mindset, cooking for eight. Therefore I always have left-over meals stacked in the freezer. We had a very large garden and canned and froze all of our food for the winter. I remember one year we had a bumper crop of apples from the orchard. My mom and I made apple pies. She stored them in freezer bags separately. I can still remember those pies stacked in the freezer. On Sunday, when she was baking the “Sunday chicken” she would slide a frozen pie into the oven. It was heavenly. Watching you cook for your family reminds me of her, thank you 🙏 😊💕
That’s what my oldest daughter says, she only knows how to cook for eight ❤️ that apple pie for Sunday dinner sounds amazing! What beautiful memories. 🥰
I watched/listened to your video while I made up some freezer meals for my Mom and brother, who will be staying with her while we are away for a few days (my older daughter usually stays with my Mom as Mom is elderly and has mobility issues~~cooking is very difficult for her...). I made bacon and cheese biscuits, baked beans, and blueberry muffins. I previously made hot dog chili. Since my brother isn't very cooking-oriented, this will give them some options while we're away. I love your videos. Your soothing personality and voice as well as your content are balm to my soul. God bless!
Love From Scratch Freezer Meals so we can skip the preservatives & junk they put in processed foods. I've made freezer burritos for quite a while and once they're rolled up I just placed them all on a cookie sheet freeze them, then add them all in a freezer bag. Saves on foil & extra cost. Thx again for the great Freezer Meal ideas ❤
Thank you, ‘Freezer Meals’ your video came out at the perfect time. I use all the ingredients you used in your video but not to make the same meals. I do a simple marinade on my chicken before freezing, i’m definitely trying your marinade. I also do easy breakfast sandwiches on croissants sausage egg and cheese but I’m eager to try breakfast burritos. When we find pineapples for a good price, I stock up cut them up and freeze them to use in smoothies, desserts etc. I’ve never tried to make homemade pizza making the dough just thought this was out of my wheelhouse, going to give your recipe a try and pray for success. Thank you again for the inspiration
I’m so glad you are going to try the pizza crust ❤️❤️❤️ love that you already make great freezer meals. So good for the budget and time. Have a blessed week!
I have a bucket with a lid like yours. I keep wheat berries in it and make my own flour. You have inspired me with your freezer meals. I think I'll make some pesto bread sticks and some foccocia bread too. Thank you. I'll be watching more of your videos for inspiration.
WOW, by the way! You have gotten hold of the AUTHENTIC kebab skewers! The flat ones are meant to hang on to the ground meat kebabs! Although the Mediterranean version will have those spices , even tomato paste in the ground lamb or beef. You can use your hamburger cheddar Pattie’s and just wrap a handful around the skewers ! The flat skewer will keep it from falling off it vs using the thin round or even the thin square ones!
There is no better word than delicious. I could almost taste everything. Love your videos, they are so encouraging in helping me slow down and enjoy life more. These freezer meal ideas are so wonderful and will help me cut the work on many busy days. Thank you soooooo much for sharing.
Abbyjo, I have been binge-watching your videos since recently discovering your channel. I enjoyed this one, too! All the work that you put into this prep was well worth it and must be very satisfying. I'm taking notes😊 and saving my pennies to buy your cookbook, too! Thanks so much! 🥰️
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos and welcome to our channel! ❤️❤️❤️ Yes, I love a good prep day and getting it all put away in the freezer!
Thank you so much Abby Jo! I’m definitely making your hamburgers for our camping trip in July! Thank you so much! One of my favorite things to freeze is homemade pesto. In mid-Winter there is nothing like the smell of basil! 🌿 I also like to cut up chicken pieces and put them in freezer bags with teriyaki sauce,fresh squeezed lemon juice, and minced garlic. We make them into kabobs with fresh vegetables. I loved the video!!!🤗💓
I see this video was made over a year ago but I just found you last week. I didn't have time to leave a comment then but I want to thank you for your good recipes, good advice, encouragement and the very pleasing manner in which you present your videos. I do consider myself a good cook and already do some similar steps but I've already learned so much from you. Like your method for so quickly removing the paper skins from garlic. You had a whole bunch of cloves done so quickly. I also love the idea of adding a lot of goodness into your hamburger patties before you freeze them vs just seasoning and shaping. That is a big time savings you will be rewarded for over and over when you don't have to get out the cheese and other things you included each time. Why did I never think of that? I do so appreciate the additional information you shared about the pizza dough. Although I love it we don't eat that much bread like those you showed. If I made them and they were here we'd eat far too much of it for us. But there are few eaters here these days so it would go farther and, well, someone would have to eat it. I know. I could freeze it or make smaller quantities. Yet it's time were saving too. However, I know some I have to share this video with as they will be thrilled. Thanks for giving us sources for your pails and aprons. I'm wondering if you can tell me more about the pans you cook your pizza and bread sticks in. They look larger than regular cookie sheets and even larger than a half sheet pan. Can you share their dimensions? Did you get them at a restaurant supply store? They were probably quite reasonable when you got them. As were so many of my kitchen things I got many years ago. But Whew! The prices on the same things today, even when not as well made, are exorbitant. Yet that pan size has possibilities. I'm thinking about it. Thanks again.
Welcome, I am so glad you found our channel :) They are bakers half sheets by nordic ware and probably about 25 years old! so glad to hear such nice feedback, glad you are gleaning good tips and tricks from our videos. - Abby Jo
Hi Abby Jo...I am so happy I discovered your channel....I just love love love it...I have been binge watching...you live like we did growing up...and I feel blessed now that we did...I love your channel...so calming and relaxing in this crazy wild world...thank you for that...I love your cozy cottage...
I lovd your more laid back style, very calming, easy to watch, not too much talking about what your going to do, you describe it, then get to it, interesting content, easy to follow. Just a few other ways of saying delicious.....Scrumptious, amazing, delightful, super tasty, a family favorite, taste bud approved, fabulous, great flavor harmony, crowd pleaser, off the charts yummy, definitely hits the next level...... Thank you for sharing!!😁❤️😁❤️
One thing I learned from making zillions of roasted potatoes and veg for my family is that when tossing them in oil and seasoning it’s better to put it all in a big bowl first to coat everything - that way you’re not wasting seasoning on your hands. Then use a spatula to empty it onto cooking sheet and scrape bowl.
Just found your video and I’m hooked. I love to can my food & make freezer meals. Those burritos made my mouth water. Keep making videos for us to enjoy. ❤
Great video. Amazing, wonderful, tasty, yummy....but it's all still delicious! So grateful for your channel. We always froze spaghetti sauce, sausage and peppers, chicken pot pie. Love the ideas and recipes you provided.
Thank you again for this beautiful video. This kind I Love! Every day cooking.Hope things like these recipes will be in your next book. ( no pressure).♥️
Dearest Abby Jo, your channel is wonderful is wonderful! I really enjoy watching you cooking, enjoying your hygge time or spending time with your beautiful family. As I do not have place for a big freezer I use mine to put in summer veggies and fruits, so I can enjoy them fresh in the winter. Have a blessed day and weekend. Daniela XX
I just found your channel and am loving it! in the fall I make the following for my freezer.... applesauce, apple pies, lasagna, meatballs, chicken pies, goulash, spaghetti sauce, hashbrown casseroles, meatloaf, I cook up squash and mash it and add brown sugar and butter and freeze it in portions for suppers. I also make a lot of homemade soups. my husband works full time and farms. I am a server and work alot of evenings so to be able to just throw something into the oven for supper is wonderful! it makes it easy for my husband as he doesn't cook so he can just heat up a soup or goulash or something for supper! I always look forward to my fall cooking days. I also can salsa, Pickles, beets , jalapeños and more! we have a local farm that sells vegetables so I get all my produce from them for my big cooking days. I am always looking for new ideas and I have found several from you! thank you!
Wow, I love it! Such delicious good things for the freezer. Adding the brown sugar and butter to the squash ahead of time is such a good idea 🙌 I’m going to do that next time ❤️ I love all your canning too🥰🥰🥰 have a blessed week and welcome to the channel.
OOoooh I was so happy to see you have a new video up! You are my favorite channel to watch. I stopped your video to mention that before you put the chicken breasts in the marinade to poke them really good all over with a fork! That way the marinade soaks in really good and you get even more yummy flavor. I do a teriyaki version but have to try the balsamic! And your version of the tator tot casserole looks.....well....I say "scrummy" lol. A combo of scrumptious and yummy. Looking forward to your next video!
Love this video. The mushroom sauce on your Great Grandmothers casserole definitely inspired me. You are so right about taking a break. If the captain is exhausted there's no one to steer the ship. Thanks for the recipes x
Made your crust today for our dinner. Now I know it's not quite dinner time yet. But It came together well. I pre baked and then will finish baking later
Breakfast burritos look soooo tasty!! Nothing like a seasoned, crispy 🥔 spud! I would have a hard time not munching on them while building the burritos.
Another great video. I am learning some new tips and tricks and comment right along like I was sitting in your kitchen. 😂 really smart thinking saving the pineapple bits, etc. to cook in the crockpot and eat over rice. Thumbs up!!!! Thank you so much, Abby Jo and family.
I have just discovered your channel and already I love it. You have such a calming influence about you. I am so impressed with your pizza dough recipes. You have motivated me to make more pizza dough and have it on hand. Everything looks so delicious. Keep up the good work.
Awww thank you 😊 I’m excited for you to try out the pizza dough and it’s sooo wonderful to have it in the freezer for quick meals. A big welcome to our channel ❤️
This may sound a bit weird, well the first part isn’t weird but I love the way you cook, the amounts that you do are good to put in the freezer for me too, but the best thing about this is that you’re a cook that doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty! Just like a down home country girl! Would recipes happen to be posted somewhere?
😲 WOW did you see those balls of pizza dough! They looked so professional! Also I didn't notice that you kept saying delicious 🤤 BTW: I like to freeze banana bread, pumpkin bread & cookies or cookie dough. Then when I have company, I'm not panic stricken that I don't have something nice to serve them with tea or coffee!
I was so excited for this video since the announcement yesterday. Today was busy and I'm taking my tea break now to watch now. So many good recipes, thank you!
@@ForgottenWayFarms thank so much Abby Jo! 😊🌷 I was wondering if you could possibly make a video in the future of no bake desserts and cold meals for summertime? We live in an old Victorian house with no air conditioning and I run out of ideas for meals that don't require the oven or boiling.
Just found your channel today. I've got a turkey breast in my instapot cooking to have for various dinners this week. One thing we love also is turkey or chicken salad for sandwiches. I'm wanting to redo my kitchen to make it more usable for making freezer meals. I hate spending $12 at the grocery for a frozen family meal. It's just ridiculous for just 2 people. I'm redoing my craft room upstairs now to become a multi purpose craft space rather than just a sewing space. And after I redo that I'm going to move to the kitchen/dining rooms to make them one large cooking area. You and Becky @ Acre Homestead make me want to get busy and do. Being disabled I can only do a little at a time but it will get done.
I'm glad you found our channel, welcome! :) We enjoy chicken salad sandwiches as well, soooo good. I love how you are expanding your kitchen area, way to go!
Everything looks wonderful! I have written down your pizza crust recipe. That's one thing my husband and I really enjoy so that will really come in handy. The burritos really looks good too, actually it ALL looks GREAT!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!
Abby-- I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for showing how to make pourable topping for pot pies--it's really good and easy to make--thanks a bunch--April
Abby Jo, where have you been? I have not seen you on here in a long time, I hope you and your family are doing well. I miss seeing you on here, you are a fabulous cook and such a good teacher. Hope you come back soon, you are missed. Hugs from Robbin, and God bless you and your family.
I am a new subscriber, I really enjoyed this video. I found myself feeling so relaxed. You are a very calm person and I appreciate that. Looking forward to more videos. Take care and God bless.
I just found your channel. Happy accident! I just love your chill videos, your style, your adorable braided double bun hairdo, thrifting and antiques and homemade food....just everything!! Can't wait to try some of your recipes. I love doing big freezer meal prep days.
I also take breaks. I honestly have to and look forward to them. They keep me going. I make big batches of cheese sauce up and freeze them. They defrost fast to 2lb plastic containers.
I am guilty of the overuse of words too but it doesn't bother me at all. Everything looks amazing. My boys, especially ,love breakfast burritos . Those kebobs look like one of them would easily feed my teen. Well almost. Haha. Pesto bread sticks sound fun and focaccia is always a hit here . Thank you for sharing all these great ideas. 🥰💜
I’m a repeat user of words too 😂 I guess I just like certain words! My men folk LOVE breakfast burritos too! That’s what I usually send in the work lunch box. Sending my love 😘😘😘😘
I like sewing variations on recipes. I make tater tot casserole and don't brown the beef add raw chopped onion and cream of celery on bottom top with slices of American cheese slices rop that with tater tots. As the beef cooks the grease from it cooks the potatoes. The whole thing gets creamy and the pots crispy and no prepping as far as browning.
The adjective you can use to describe your food to be phenomenal exquisite yummy scrumptious tasty amazing delightful LOL I hope you can use those also wanted to let you know that you are a true chef you are a true inspiration I am so hooked on watching all your videos you have such great content sending you lots of blessings to you and your wonderful family❤️🙏🥰❣️🤗🦋😋
Awww 🥰 you are so sweet! I’m blessed and thrilled that you are hooked on our content. We always put a lot of work into them and hope they can be helpful and inspirational ❤️
@@ForgottenWayFarms trust and believe me I know that you put in a lot of work into your video that's why I can honestly say that you are a true inspiration keep up the great work I am a huge fan and I'm here to stay blessing to you and your family
I just love your recipes Abby Jo😋🤩 ..much tastier made from scratch ..ie breakfast burritos .among everything else ...I don't prepare/freeze for a family here as just hubby and .I do cook xtra though and freeze that. I will do more when we move back to NZ ..I love your Christmas Cookbook ..Time for one on meals for the freeze/ and by scratch .. Cafes in New Zealand make ice coffee ..so yummy ..they add ice cream to the cold coffee,instead of ice cubes..top with whipped cream sprinkle cinnamon or drinking chocolate on top ..just divine ..I make one here the same ..my treat 🤩😋
Thank you dear 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed the Christmas cookbook too! We make that kind of coffee for a treat too ❤️❤️❤️ we call an affogato. What do you call it in NZ? Have a blessed day friend!
I truly enjoyed this! I'm often looking for inspiration and it was so refreshing to hear your money saving tips. Buying in bulk and cooking in bulk saves me so much money!
Awesome video =] I found your channel recently, and I love your recipes and ideas for freezer meals! Your voice is so soothing! Freezer meals that I have seen on RUclips are mostly opening a bunch of cans and packets and an assembly job...lacking seasoning and any real love, which is why they never really appealed to me. Your recipes are right up my street. Love from Zimbabwe xxx
I am going to have to write down that pizza dough recipe...so easy and looks delicious. ( lol) I know it is hard to come up with different adjectives! When I wrote a blog I would often do word searches for suitable adjectives instead of saying the same thing over and over. But honestly, Abby Jo, I did not even notice as I was looking at the food.:) Thanks for sharing all your hints. BTW, I ordered one of your aprons from Amazon and I love it. I got a red one but I can see myself getting several...they are so comfy and cute.
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad you got an apron! They are so comfortable and I love all the colors ❤️ I hope you do try the pizza crust 😘 have a lovely weekend dear!
Replacement word for delicious: yummy, tasty, good, appetizing, enjoyable or you can just say delicious. As was said earlier I didn’t even notice you said delicious multiple times 😊
Delicious is ok, you can say that as often as you can, no judgement, you are so good in what you do, I enjoy every second of your video, you a calm and relax even your are doing complicated job, cute house ,too.
I had to stop part way through and make myself some toast- you were making me hungry! I don’t do much freezer cooking, but for the week of our county fair, I have a freezer full of homemade “fair food”: Stromboli, Italian sausage with peppers and onions, pulled pork for nachos, pretzel wrapped hot dogs, burritos (okay, not technically fair food, but I grew up with my mom making them for fair week suppers, so I associate them with that), and breakfast sandwiches for the livestock auction morning. This year, I’m going to try my hand at homemade corn dogs (a treat i buy for lunches fair week), as both of my daughters are gluten sensitive, and I’m thinking of making up some sort of gyro as well. This all looks so good, especially the breakfast burritos!
@@ForgottenWayFarms consider this your standing invitation! (which you have regardless, if your travels ever bring you this general direction) I’d be a terrible hostess, (we’re there all day every day, the kids are in 4-H), but I would feed you well!
I just loved your video today! You have inspired me to do this again, I did it when my children were little and now that they are grown up they have their own children. But my grandchildren spend a lot of time at my house here on the farm as they live next-door to me. That means they eat at my house a lot, ha ha! I have a couple questions, with the breakfast burritos, do you just take them out of the deep freeze, thaw them and heat them in the oven? Or how do you do that?Also with the pizza dough, do you just bring the doughout and let it thaw and then use it just as regular dough? Or are there some tips to make it work the best?
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! I put the burritos in the freezer the night before and warm them up in the oven in the morning until hot and steamy in a 350 oven :) Pizza dough I set out in the morning on my counter and it defrosts and starts to rise and I roll out into pizza, breadsticks, or whatever I fancy :)
@@ForgottenWayFarms thank you so much for getting back to me! I’m going to gather all ingredients and spend the next rainy day doing some of your recipes. I just love your videos so much!🌷❤️🇨🇦
I just added the links to the buckets and lids :) Had so much fun chatting with you all during the live chat. Have a lovely weekend, friends!
Just a little tip...after shaping your patties, place them on a Parchment lined pan and freeze them 1st then place them in large zip lock bags and freeze them. It saves on all the extra wrapping and they stay well shaped. You can cook as many as you want from frozen.
Thank you, great tip :)
I love how you remind us to take breaks and not feel we don't deserve it when we work so hard to do for our family!❤
I’m so glad, because it’s true 🥰☝️❤️ and good for us to find that balance!
I love that you are teaching folks to make a bechamel instead of canned soups
Yay! Thank you. It's way better then canned soups :)
I'm swooning over all that gorgeous homemade bread! I have Celiac, and also have to eat low carb for health reasons, so I can only dream about it, lol! I had a helpful hint [if you didn't do this already]...for freezer meals, line your 9x13 casserole dish with foil, fill and freeze; then remove it from the pan and re-wrap the frozen block.

If I made them and they were here we'd eat far too much of it for us. But there are few eaters here these days so it would go farther and, well, someone would have to eat it. I know. I could freeze it or make smaller quantities. Yet it's time were saving too. However, I know some I have to share this video with as they will be thrilled.
Thanks for giving us sources for your pails and aprons. I'm wondering if you can tell me more about the pans you cook your pizza and bread sticks in. They look larger than regular cookie sheets and even larger than a half sheet pan. Can you share their dimensions? Did you get them at a restaurant supply store? They were probably quite reasonable when you got them. As were so many of my kitchen things I got many years ago. But Whew! The prices on the same things today, even when not as well made, are exorbitant. Yet that pan size has possibilities. I'm thinking about it. Thanks again.
Welcome, I am so glad you found our channel :) They are bakers half sheets by nordic ware and probably about 25 years old! so glad to hear such nice feedback, glad you are gleaning good tips and tricks from our videos. - Abby Jo

My freezer needs organizing. Loved the idea of making my meals up. I really enjoyed the video.
Mine needs a reorganization soon too! ❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
You really make me think of my mom. Lots of love in the kitchen.
🥰🥰🥰
I lovd your more laid back style, very calming, easy to watch, not too much talking about what your going to do, you describe it, then get to it, interesting content, easy to follow. Just a few other ways of saying delicious.....Scrumptious, amazing, delightful, super tasty, a family favorite, taste bud approved, fabulous, great flavor harmony, crowd pleaser, off the charts yummy, definitely hits the next level......
Thank you for sharing!!😁❤️😁❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And great adjectives 🙌❤️ thank you.
One thing I learned from making zillions of roasted potatoes and veg for my family is that when tossing them in oil and seasoning it’s better to put it all in a big bowl first to coat everything - that way you’re not wasting seasoning on your hands. Then use a spatula to empty it onto cooking sheet and scrape bowl.
Good idea :)
Just found your video and I’m hooked. I love to can my food & make freezer meals. Those burritos made my mouth water. Keep making videos for us to enjoy. ❤
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful ideas and they all look so yummy! Thank you Abby Jo!
You are so welcome :)
Great video. Amazing, wonderful, tasty, yummy....but it's all still delicious! So grateful for your channel. We always froze spaghetti sauce, sausage and peppers, chicken pot pie. Love the ideas and recipes you provided.
So true 😂❤️ Thank you!! All good things for the freezer. Yummy 😋
Thank you again for this beautiful video. This kind I Love! Every day cooking.Hope things like these recipes will be in your next book. ( no pressure).♥️
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad! And I know who will by my first copy when I get one done 😘
You go right ahead a keep saying “DELICIOUS “…..because it all dose look delicious and am sure it tastes delicious 😋…TFS
Awww 🥰 thank you!
So glad I found your channel. I like to do a quiche and any baked pasta and sauce meatless meal. They seem to store really well.
Thank you, welcome to the channel! I love freezing quiche too 🙌
I find your channel so peaceful and relaxing.
Thank you, I’m so glad 🥰🥰🥰
Your videos inspired me. So basically thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
My freezer has macaroni & cheese, stuffed peppers & cheese ravioli. Thanks for sharing your recipes, they are a feast for the eyes.
Dearest Abby Jo, your channel is wonderful is wonderful! I really enjoy watching you cooking, enjoying your hygge time or spending time with your beautiful family. As I do not have place for a big freezer I use mine to put in summer veggies and fruits, so I can enjoy them fresh in the winter. Have a blessed day and weekend. Daniela XX
That’s wonderful to have fresh vegetables and fruit in your freezer! And boy that will save you money ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoy our videos 🥰🥰🥰
I also buy in bulk :) beans , rice , flour , sugar , pancake mix , ,,,,,you have a nice voice :)
That’s wonderful ❤️ buying in bulk saves so much money.
I just found your channel and am loving it!
in the fall I make the following for my freezer....
applesauce, apple pies, lasagna, meatballs, chicken pies, goulash, spaghetti sauce, hashbrown casseroles, meatloaf, I cook up squash and mash it and add brown sugar and butter and freeze it in portions for suppers. I also make a lot of homemade soups. my husband works full time and farms. I am a server and work alot of evenings so to be able to just throw something into the oven for supper is wonderful! it makes it easy for my husband as he doesn't cook so he can just heat up a soup or goulash or something for supper!
I always look forward to my fall cooking days. I also can salsa, Pickles, beets , jalapeños and more! we have a local farm that sells vegetables so I get all my produce from them for my big cooking days. I am always looking for new ideas and I have found several from you! thank you!
Wow, I love it! Such delicious good things for the freezer. Adding the brown sugar and butter to the squash ahead of time is such a good idea 🙌 I’m going to do that next time ❤️ I love all your canning too🥰🥰🥰 have a blessed week and welcome to the channel.
OOoooh I was so happy to see you have a new video up! You are my favorite channel to watch. I stopped your video to mention that before you put the chicken breasts in the marinade to poke them really good all over with a fork! That way the marinade soaks in really good and you get even more yummy flavor. I do a teriyaki version but have to try the balsamic! And your version of the tator tot casserole looks.....well....I say "scrummy" lol. A combo of scrumptious and yummy. Looking forward to your next video!
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad we are your favorite channel ❤️❤️❤️ yay! That’s a good idea, don’t know why I haven’t tried it. Thank you 😊
@@ForgottenWayFarms You are so welcome! I love when others share recipes and tips that are helpful and I like sharing too!
Love this video. The mushroom sauce on your Great Grandmothers casserole definitely inspired me. You are so right about taking a break. If the captain is exhausted there's no one to steer the ship. Thanks for the recipes x
Thank you dear! Yes, so good for the captain to take breaks 😘
What a wonderful way to spend a warm afternoon! Your food looks so healthy and appetizing. I will be trying all of what you made today!
Thank you, dear! I'm really glad you showed up for the live chat. I really love this growing community of friends here, you are amazing!
Made your crust today for our dinner. Now I know it's not quite dinner time yet. But It came together well. I pre baked and then will finish baking later
That’s awesome ❤️
I am hooked! Such a beautiful presentation. You are very gifted.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much!
Breakfast burritos look soooo tasty!!
Nothing like a seasoned, crispy 🥔 spud!
I would have a hard time not munching on them while building the burritos.
Thank you! I love a good burrito ❤️❤️❤️
I'm definitely making the breakfast burritos. 😋 they look SCRUMPTIOUS and all so DELICIOUS as well 😋
Awesome! Glad you are going to make them :)
❤️❤️❤️ delectable, scrumptious, mouth watering, gourmet just to name a few 💐
Thank you 😋
I am just loving your videos! Thanks so much for sharing!
Everything looked so amazing!
I’m so glad you enjoy them ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the great video on pizza crust. I definitely will give it a go! I love fruit pizza and now is the time😀
Yummy, fruit pizza is so good 😋
I love your channel so much, it's so calming and practical, I love all the food you make, thank you for creating this content 💗
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy it :)
Another great video. I am learning some new tips and tricks and comment right along like I was sitting in your kitchen. 😂 really smart thinking saving the pineapple bits, etc. to cook in the crockpot and eat over rice. Thumbs up!!!! Thank you so much, Abby Jo and family.
I’m so glad you are learning right along with me 🥰🥰🥰
So relaxing to watch you cook! Great tips! Ty! Everything looks so yummy! You are definitely right about taking a little me time!🤗
Thank you 🥰 glad you enjoyed it!
I have just discovered your channel and already I love it. You have such a calming influence about you. I am so impressed with your pizza dough recipes. You have motivated me to make more pizza dough and have it on hand. Everything looks so delicious. Keep up the good work.
Awww thank you 😊 I’m excited for you to try out the pizza dough and it’s sooo wonderful to have it in the freezer for quick meals. A big welcome to our channel ❤️
This may sound a bit weird, well the first part isn’t weird but I love the way you cook, the amounts that you do are good to put in the freezer for me too, but the best thing about this is that you’re a cook that doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty! Just like a down home country girl! Would recipes happen to be posted somewhere?
Thank you, glad you enjoy it! And yes, my recipes can be found on our blog www.forgottenwayfarms.com
😲 WOW did you see those balls of pizza dough! They looked so professional!
Also I didn't notice that you kept saying delicious 🤤
BTW: I like to freeze banana bread, pumpkin bread & cookies or cookie dough. Then when I have company, I'm not panic stricken that I don't have something nice to serve them with tea or coffee!
Oh, I love that! I need to get better at having treats in the freezer for company. Sometimes I do and sometimes I totally forget :)
I’m so glad RUclips put you on my suggested list. Love your channel! Keep up the wonderful work! ♥️
Thank you! Will do! Welcome to our channel :)
I was so excited for this video since the announcement yesterday. Today was busy and I'm taking my tea break now to watch now. So many good recipes, thank you!
Yay! I’m glad you get some time to watch now 🥰 enjoy that tea break ☕️
@@ForgottenWayFarms thank so much Abby Jo! 😊🌷 I was wondering if you could possibly make a video in the future of no bake desserts and cold meals for summertime? We live in an old Victorian house with no air conditioning and I run out of ideas for meals that don't require the oven or boiling.
@@luludi3 That’s a great idea! I will write that down for summer time cooking ideas. ❤️
@@ForgottenWayFarms yay! Thank you!
Just found your channel today. I've got a turkey breast in my instapot cooking to have for various dinners this week. One thing we love also is turkey or chicken salad for sandwiches. I'm wanting to redo my kitchen to make it more usable for making freezer meals. I hate spending $12 at the grocery for a frozen family meal. It's just ridiculous for just 2 people. I'm redoing my craft room upstairs now to become a multi purpose craft space rather than just a sewing space. And after I redo that I'm going to move to the kitchen/dining rooms to make them one large cooking area. You and Becky @ Acre Homestead make me want to get busy and do. Being disabled I can only do a little at a time but it will get done.
I'm glad you found our channel, welcome! :) We enjoy chicken salad sandwiches as well, soooo good. I love how you are expanding your kitchen area, way to go!
Love your videos - so calming & relaxing. Those burritos look “scrumptious” & “yummy”.
Thank you!
I always cook from scratch. Thanks for sharing! Great ideas
Thanks for watching!
Everything looks wonderful! I have written down your pizza crust recipe. That's one thing my husband and I really enjoy so that will really come in handy. The burritos really looks good too, actually it ALL looks GREAT!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!
Awww 🥰 thank you!
First time watching you. I really enjoyed it. Will watch you again. Thank you a great learning
Thank you 🥰 welcome to our channel!
Abby-- I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for showing how to make pourable topping for pot pies--it's really good and easy to make--thanks a bunch--April
I’m glad you like it, it’s a favorite at our house 😊
Abby Jo, where have you been? I have not seen you on here in a long time, I hope you and your family are doing well. I miss seeing you on here, you are a fabulous cook and such a good teacher. Hope you come back soon, you are missed. Hugs from Robbin, and God bless you and your family.
Awww 🥰 thank you, I took the month of January off for rest and getting some big projects done. Hugs to you! ❤️
I am a new subscriber, I really enjoyed this video. I found myself feeling so relaxed. You are a very calm person and I appreciate that. Looking forward to more videos. Take care and God bless.
Welcome 🤗 to our channel! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad you find our videos relaxing.
I just found your channel. Happy accident! I just love your chill videos, your style, your adorable braided double bun hairdo, thrifting and antiques and homemade food....just everything!! Can't wait to try some of your recipes. I love doing big freezer meal prep days.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy everything :) And a big warm welcome to our channel :)
So love finding your videos! You so help sooth my soul!! Thank you!
I’m so glad you found us, welcome ❤️
Great ideas I'm a homemaker myself and love new ideas. I get into a rut sometimes.
That’s wonderful ❤️ glad you got new ideas!
I also take breaks. I honestly have to and look forward to them. They keep me going. I make big batches of cheese sauce up and freeze them. They defrost fast to 2lb plastic containers.
That's the way to do it :) I honestly get more work done that way.
I am guilty of the overuse of words too but it doesn't bother me at all. Everything looks amazing. My boys, especially ,love breakfast burritos . Those kebobs look like one of them would easily feed my teen. Well almost. Haha. Pesto bread sticks sound fun and focaccia is always a hit here . Thank you for sharing all these great ideas. 🥰💜
I’m a repeat user of words too 😂 I guess I just like certain words! My men folk LOVE breakfast burritos too! That’s what I usually send in the work lunch box. Sending my love 😘😘😘😘
Fabulous!
That pizza dough looked BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL!!! I cant eat regular flour so I appreciate seeing a beautiful dough. 🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️🥰🥰
Awww 🥰 thank you dear!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@ForgottenWayFarms 🥰🥰🥰
Nothing wrong with using the word delicious too many times!! 😋
That’s all that kept coming to mind 🥰
I like sewing variations on recipes. I make tater tot casserole and don't brown the beef add raw chopped onion and cream of celery on bottom top with slices of American cheese slices rop that with tater tots. As the beef cooks the grease from it cooks the potatoes. The whole thing gets creamy and the pots crispy and no prepping as far as browning.
Sounds great!
So nice, relaxing and inspiring. I’m making pizza dough this weekend for sure. Thank you for sharing! Love your videos!
Awww 🥰 thank you! I’m so glad you will be making the dough. ❤️
Scrumptious - everything looked sxrumptious!
Thank you ❤️😘❤️

I just love your recipes Abby Jo😋🤩 ..much tastier made from scratch ..ie breakfast burritos .among everything else ...I don't prepare/freeze for a family here as just hubby and .I do cook xtra though and freeze that. I will do more when we move back to NZ ..I love your Christmas Cookbook ..Time for one on meals for the freeze/ and by scratch ..
Cafes in New Zealand make ice coffee ..so yummy ..they add ice cream to the cold coffee,instead of ice cubes..top with whipped cream sprinkle cinnamon or drinking chocolate on top ..just divine ..I make one here the same ..my treat 🤩😋
Thank you dear 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed the Christmas cookbook too! We make that kind of coffee for a treat too ❤️❤️❤️ we call an affogato. What do you call it in NZ? Have a blessed day friend!
Thank you so much for the cooking inspiration!
I am so glad you enjoyed it :)
Oh my goodness. That all looks so yumidee (my word for delicious 😋) I need to be the taste tester. Love love love ~ Janet 😘
You should be my taste tester, Janet 😋 ❤️
I truly enjoyed this! I'm often looking for inspiration and it was so refreshing to hear your money saving tips. Buying in bulk and cooking in bulk saves me so much money!
Thank you, I’m so glad that enjoyed it! 🥰 And yes, it really does save money!
Awesome video =] I found your channel recently, and I love your recipes and ideas for freezer meals! Your voice is so soothing! Freezer meals that I have seen on RUclips are mostly opening a bunch of cans and packets and an assembly job...lacking seasoning and any real love, which is why they never really appealed to me. Your recipes are right up my street. Love from Zimbabwe xxx
Thank you 🥰 so glad you found our channel! I love cooking from scratch and so happy that this was your style of cooking also ❤️
I am going to have to write down that pizza dough recipe...so easy and looks delicious. ( lol) I know it is hard to come up with different adjectives! When I wrote a blog I would often do word searches for suitable adjectives instead of saying the same thing over and over. But honestly, Abby Jo, I did not even notice as I was looking at the food.:) Thanks for sharing all your hints. BTW, I ordered one of your aprons from Amazon and I love it. I got a red one but I can see myself getting several...they are so comfy and cute.
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad you got an apron! They are so comfortable and I love all the colors ❤️ I hope you do try the pizza crust 😘 have a lovely weekend dear!
Replacement word for delicious: yummy, tasty, good, appetizing, enjoyable or you can just say delicious. As was said earlier I didn’t even notice you said delicious multiple times 😊
Delicious is ok, you can say that as often as you can, no judgement, you are so good in what you do, I enjoy every second of your video, you a calm and relax even your are doing complicated job, cute house ,too.
Thank you ☺️ delicious it is ❤️❤️❤️
So glad your video popped up for me today I loved it!
Yay 🙌 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I had to stop part way through and make myself some toast- you were making me hungry! I don’t do much freezer cooking, but for the week of our county fair, I have a freezer full of homemade “fair food”: Stromboli, Italian sausage with peppers and onions, pulled pork for nachos, pretzel wrapped hot dogs, burritos (okay, not technically fair food, but I grew up with my mom making them for fair week suppers, so I associate them with that), and breakfast sandwiches for the livestock auction morning. This year, I’m going to try my hand at homemade corn dogs (a treat i buy for lunches fair week), as both of my daughters are gluten sensitive, and I’m thinking of making up some sort of gyro as well. This all looks so good, especially the breakfast burritos!
Oh my goodness, I want to come eat fair food with you! ❤️❤️❤️ sounds delicious 😋
@@ForgottenWayFarms consider this your standing invitation! (which you have regardless, if your travels ever bring you this general direction) I’d be a terrible hostess, (we’re there all day every day, the kids are in 4-H), but I would feed you well!
@@farminginmyapron1718 l know you would feed me well 🥰 someday it would be lovely to meet! 😘
Thanks for the advice and God bless you.
You are welcome 🥰
Your content is FANTASTIC, I love it!!🥰
Thank you so much! That means a lot 🥰
Please do a video on how you reheat the meals you have frozen ps thank you for your videos i have learned so much xoxo
Good idea 👍
This is my favorite video in food making
Awww, thank you!
I just loved your video today! You have inspired me to do this again, I did it when my children were little and now that they are grown up they have their own children. But my grandchildren spend a lot of time at my house here on the farm as they live next-door to me. That means they eat at my house a lot, ha ha! I have a couple questions, with the breakfast burritos, do you just take them out of the deep freeze, thaw them and heat them in the oven? Or how do you do that?Also with the pizza dough, do you just bring the doughout and let it thaw and then use it just as regular dough? Or are there some tips to make it work the best?
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! I put the burritos in the freezer the night before and warm them up in the oven in the morning until hot and steamy in a 350 oven :) Pizza dough I set out in the morning on my counter and it defrosts and starts to rise and I roll out into pizza, breadsticks, or whatever I fancy :)
@@ForgottenWayFarms thank you so much for getting back to me! I’m going to gather all ingredients and spend the next rainy day doing some of your recipes. I just love your videos so much!🌷❤️🇨🇦
