I just found your videos, and have been binge watching while sick out & of work this weekend. I love how organized, energetic, creative, and positive you are. I pray for all the best for you, and your family. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Amy! Loved the video .... Not sure if anyone has mentioned this , but you can save a few cookie sheets with the burritos - layer a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap in between a stack or few of the burritos ... I just made a about 2 dozen taquitos and put a sheet of plastic wrap in between two layers ! I also made two homemade chicken pot pies for my freezer ! They are the 7 inch size .... and in addition I made some "hand pies withe leftover pot pie mixture and leftover pie crust ! Supper easy ! And I did not bake them before hand .... I just take out night before to thaw and cook according to directions on pie crust box ......
Wowww, so much work!!! But you do it so organized and with such a smiley face and great attitude, it is a pleasure to watch👏👏👏👏👍❤️🌷. Your kids are so lucky!!!
I haven’t watched the whole video yet I just wanted to say that it never occurred to me that I could cut chicken with kitchen scissors instead of struggling with my not so great knives. You literally just blew my mind lol
I don’t get it why the flip your channel isn’t bigger then it is your awesome!!!!!! I’ve been telling everyone how great your channel is and sharing your channel.
This is so satisfying to watch. Looking forward for part2😁 lentil burger😋.Awesome idea pizza lasagna. Yummm😋. The other day i made yogurt and i added a can of condenced milk for the one gallon milk Just enough sweetness.... Taste like honey Greek yogurt.... this batched i used the Greek yogurt not the plain one from the store, turned out yummy and thick.... We like it sweet, but my son always put too much sugar... Not good... but with added condensed milk he doesnt add any sugar. Yay... 👍...
+Lisa Mbarak I appreciate the vote of confidence. It feels good having the freezer all full and now I can semi rest:). I mean as much as I can with a household lol
I love watching all that you do for your family, I wish I was more intop of things as I used to be, I'm working my way back to it though. Hopefully soon I'll have my pantry done and arranged in order to be able to prep better. Props to you for not giving up even when it's tough, I feel defeated most of the time & without any encouragement, it's rough, but The Lord is Good and He continues to encourage me through. Blessings to you & yours this new years Eve!
We love our freezer cooking days! And I love watching freezer cooking videos for new meal ideas. Where did buy all of your plastic food storage containers? :)
+Jess Dostie I know it can be difficult ..my good friend deals with it in her large family. I told her she needs to do videos they have some good allergy free meals :)
Nice job! I like your scissors, I have not tried cutting chicken that way. Looks easier or atleast you make it look easy. Lol. I'm going to try some of your recipes next week. Thanks!
Okay, 2016/2017 school year my boys were 3rd and 5th grade. We didn't get where we needed to be in our learning at the end of that year. They tested just fine at the end of the year but instead of moving into more difficult work we continued 3rd and 5th grade in 2017/2018. Would i test again this year with 3rd and 5th grade CAT5 . Even though they tested well in June a year ago? I hope that makes sense.
+Michelle Channell it does and I understand completely. For the cat 5 test I would test again with the same grade level. They are not going to know the next level unless they do it :). For those grades the next grade they get a new test. No stress :)
I just stumbled on your channel and oh my god. I’m just in awe right now. I only have one baby and one on the way so we will be a family of 4 soon. But what an inspiration you are that I can start this and actually save money. The guesswork is completely out the window for what to have to eat everyday. Where do I start? Do you have a guide on your website that teaches how to do this monthly meal prep?
You make it look so effortless! Does organizing a big cooking day like this take a long time? Like how do you plan for how much of everything you'll need for all those different recipes? I'd have difficulty keeping track of so much at once!
Thank you for these videos. It has really made me think and inspired me to run my large family kitchen more efficiently. The frozen casseroles, and more specifically the lasagnas, do you thaw first or is it directly freezer to oven? Thanks again! :)
Hello Amy Thank you so much for your videos! With your breakfast burritos do you take them out to thaw first or do you just pop them right into the microwave?
Love what you do . But , you should find an alternative to all the plastic bags you use . They are costly and not very earth friendly . I reuse vacuum bags over and over and also containers .
When you need a lot of beans, wouldn’t it be cheaper to use dried beans and cook them yourself? The taste is so much better. Also, I have never done lentil burgers, but I sometimes mix lentils with ground beef to stretch it a bit.
Hi Amy have u ever considered a pressure cooker? Gowise USA has a 14 quart that can do ur ground beef, chicken, or other entire meals in a quarter of the time. U can also make yogurt in it. For a catering event I had I made 60 breast’s of chicken from frozen ( I had to do small batches) for 12 mins at a time, and u have shredded chicken. U can get the 14 qt on Amazon for $119.00. It is completely safe. I teach cooking demonstrations with products we carry at Williams Sonoma. We do not carry the gowise we have the instant pot, however with the size of ur family (for the price) the 14 quart is amazing. I have 3, I have a 3qt, 6 qt, and a 8 qt for my family of 4. I also bought the 14 quart bc I cater a lot of events for my twins robotics/ ROTC teams. I can’t wait to get my big one. I love my instant pot pressure cookers, they will change ur life! They are also very safe and easy to use. Pls contact me if u have any questions about pressure cookers I would love to help out if I can. Great videos, I love ur channel.
Any, I went ahead and subscribed to your channel.... My question is with all of the people in your family, does anyone have food allergies? If so, how do you get around that? This is the biggest problem that I have encountered when trying to have enough food for the month.... Also, I had to have emergency stomach surgery so now I can digest very little, any pointers you could share on these two things... Thanks!
Just to fish.. So we don't have to deal with anything..i would find a few simple meals to make and repeat them. Praying you are feeling better... I am sure there are many channels that make special foods. I just dont have expertise in that. Sorry
I made frozen breakfast burritos once for my husband. Similar to yours. He thought they came out with a tough semi crunchy tortilla texture. He didn’t like it so I haven’t made them again. I see many youtubers make them. How do you have them come out of the freezer and reheat them and have them be palatable? Thanks. I like these types of videos.
Start with one thing. Do a meal and then double it for the next week or triple it. Or do just breakfast foods: pancakes, muffins, waffles, breakfast burritos etc. Or cook just all your meat before and prepare your chicken. Do something and see that it helps improve your food prep time and you will want to do more :)
Love this kind a video as always. But where is your housband? What kind of job is he doing? I hope you understand...i'm bad writting in english...sorry.... big kiss for your large family!
you measure like I do! =) question... I use dunkin donuts coffee, I noticed that you have walmarts donut shop brand, do you like it? do you think it compares with the DD? I am SICK of the high prices of the DD! wondered about the coffee, any input would help =) what is it about watching someone make a TON of food that is so satisfying....would love to watch you make those cookies! is there a certain recipe for them? thanks again....
+avonleanne I really like the Walmart donut shop brand. My favorite. U can get a smaller bag of it and try it. I think it's good. I like it better than aldis brands and mccafe brands and folders and maxwell house. I know so fun isn't it. Cookies are coming up! :). Glad and happy you are here. Thanks
I always Love how you season your dishes 🥰
Oh my goodness, you wore me out just watching you. I just found your videos, all i can say is God bless you , what a Mom. ❤
+Barbara Bell lol. Thank you
IT WOULD be AWESOME IF THE RECIPES FOR THE freezer meals WAS UNDERNEATH SO WE COULD look at IT LATER.YOU ARE SO FAST AND AWESOME
Thank you for idea. I may do that:)

+Mhaya Lovely oh that is a great idea. I will have to try it. When do u add the can of milk?
When do you add your condensed milk in the process?
I could watch this a bunch of times. You are amazing!!!!! You really got soooo much done.
+Lisa Mbarak I appreciate the vote of confidence. It feels good having the freezer all full and now I can semi rest:). I mean as much as I can with a household lol

+Bethany Hall I believe you can! Start slow and build up that is how I started , one thing at a time :)
We love our freezer cooking days! And I love watching freezer cooking videos for new meal ideas. Where did buy all of your plastic food storage containers? :)

Hello, love watching your channel, thanks so much for sharing, are your recipes available some place?
www.plainandnotsoplain com
I do think its wise to wash the chicken first, pat dry then prep. Big job done well.
just amazing!
I just stumbled on your channel and oh my god. I’m just in awe right now. I only have one baby and one on the way so we will be a family of 4 soon. But what an inspiration you are that I can start this and actually save money. The guesswork is completely out the window for what to have to eat everyday. Where do I start? Do you have a guide on your website that teaches how to do this monthly meal prep?
Not yet. I would watch my planning menu videos and see how I do it so you can get some ideas. You got this
Looks great! Do you have recipes listed anywhere?
Over at my blog www.plainandnotsoplain.com
You make it look so effortless! Does organizing a big cooking day like this take a long time? Like how do you plan for how much of everything you'll need for all those different recipes? I'd have difficulty keeping track of so much at once!
+alinatif You can watch my videos of how I plan my once a month shopping and see how much time I put into it. We have been doing it for so long :)
You did such an amazing job!
+Lidia’s family life ty
Hi loving all the freezer meals. With the yogurt, at what point would you add fruit ?. And then how long would it last. Thank you x
+Sally Gore when we serve it. I keep fruit sauce separate from yogurt unless I'm making freezer smoothies
Holy cow you are amazing! Have you explained how you make your oriental salad that you showed on earlier videos?
+Abby K no I didn't over at my blog www.plainandnotsoplain.com I have how to make it :)
Can you show how you make your yogurt. Love your videos
I do have a video for that. Look under Playlist foods or search large family makes homemade yogurt
Thank you for these videos. It has really made me think and inspired me to run my large family kitchen more efficiently. The frozen casseroles, and more specifically the lasagnas, do you thaw first or is it directly freezer to oven? Thanks again! :)
+Sew Blessed I am glad it has encouraged you. I have done both. Depends upon whether I got them out first :)
Gotcha, thanks!! :)
Great idea using your kitchen shears to cut the chicken! (:
Shears for everything!
And that coconut thing must be great with pineapple juice!
+Antonina Jucovscaia it isn't bad. I probably won't get it again just because you would have to use a lot for flavoring but it is delicious!!!
Those things can taste a bit artificial I guess
+Antonina Jucovscaia yes agreed:)
Really love your channel
+Karen Reece-May I'm happy your here
Wow you were very busy. Great job. How do you serve the chicken Gyro's?
+Maleesa Paradis on pita, with toppings and homemade Tzatziki sauce. I have a video for it
Ok great. I will look for the video. Thank you.
+Maleesa Paradis :)
Hi. What's the recipe with the chicken and pineapples called plz. Tfs...✌💛
+MARIA STAR salsa pineapple chicken
What brand of kitchen shears do you use? Even when they were new I don't think mine ever cut that well.
Walmart.
We hope you'll happy in North Carolina it's a quieter life than here in Maryland.
+Aaliyah Dixon-Anderson yes it is much different :). We enjoy it very much ! Love the mountains!
Hello Amy
Thank you so much for your videos! With your breakfast burritos do you take them out to thaw first or do you just pop them right into the microwave?
We thaw them first if you don't it just takes longer
Love what you do . But , you should find an alternative to all the plastic bags you use . They are costly and not very earth friendly . I reuse vacuum bags over and over and also containers .
Mason jars can also go in the freezer .
OMG! That was a giant bowl of stuff for breakfast burritos!!!
+Antonina Jucovscaia lol yes it was!!!
Virgo yes👍🏼
If not Gemini cause your both rule by mercury my mom is Virgo that’s why I ask
Wow so much work! Did you cook the hashbrowns before putting them in the burritos?
+RemixMC3 not at all:)
When you need a lot of beans, wouldn’t it be cheaper to use dried beans and cook them yourself? The taste is so much better.
Also, I have never done lentil burgers, but I sometimes mix lentils with ground beef to stretch it a bit.
+jean massey yes dried are great. I did them last month and used some with these meals :)
Are these recipes on your blog? I’ve got a case of chicken coming and need to make up a bunch of freezer meals!
+amy whalen yes they are !

Do you ever get a metallic taste in your food from using the aluminum pans?
No.
Lmfao @ the creeper in the green top at 4:10 lush 🤩
Do you purée or slice your onions and then freeze them or are you buying them readymade
Slice of puree
Are you always thinking what you going to cook every day?

do you save money with these large freezer meals?
Always! :)
