My husband has gotten used to hearing your name, Becky. I am one of the 70 yr old Nana’s that have gotten back into food preservation and make-ahead meals for those busy days. At lunch, we ran out of mayo and I told him I was going to try making my own. He said, you should… channel your inner Becky! Lol! You ARE an inspiration! Thanks for choosing this as your business! We are loving it!

My daughter just Monday (less than 48 hours ago) had her 4th child. Now she has two boys and two girls. I want to make her some freezer meals before we fly home in two weeks. This video is timely for me.

Next time, save the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. It can be put in fridge to use in salad dressings or frozen in ice cube trays for using to saute onions, peppers for extra flavor in recipes. 😊❤

So, several years ago when you started prepping your freezer meals, I started doing them, too. However, since my handwriting is illegible and I gift a lot of meals, I bought 4x5" labels in bulk and used an online well known label design application to type up all the different labels. All I write in is the date, # of servings and I left 2 lines on the bottom for notes. Everything else is already preprinted and saves me from making mistakes or omissions. For some folks that have allergies, I also later added a list of basic ingredients (like "includes dairy, butter, soy, wheat, corn, etc). The labels have been a game changer and eliminated any questions.

Seeing so many homesteader/ family channels, I am SO happy that you do not put your child in the public eye! What you leave out of your videos is every bit as important as what you put in.

I have a 13-year-old granddaughter and had to tell her mother, my daughter, #1 My granddaughter's profile picture was WAY too mature for her (then) 10-year-old self. I then backed that up with how many sex offenders lived less than 5 miles from their house.

Our children only get ONE childhood, guard it and guide them! If we don't, the wrong people will.

You are a great sister. Not only are you providing her and her family delicious meals, but you are cooking what she asked for. I absolutely love it. ❤️ ❤

I love that this video is an hour. I know most creators make short videos, maybe due to short attention spans, but I love when a creator takes a deep dive and really shows us everything. Thanks!

Becky, you are a beautiful soul. You’re not only helping your sister but you’re helping so many people with your vlogs. Josh fell in love with you because you’re just as beautiful on the outside as you are in your heart and spirit. I’m sure the meal was just a lovely bonus 😊. Thank you for your light in this sometimes dark world. We need more Becky’s in this world ❤

ps if you wanna save more time making cookies: make a pil/sausage from the completed dough, 2 inch thick. wrap it plastic wrap. Refrigerate for min 30 minutes or freeze. When you need the cookies, cut aprox 0, 5-1 inch and bake. Sorry for my very bsd english... Sending love from the Netherlands 😘

Kitchen tip:
You don’t need to get disposable pans. Layer your 9x13 Pyrex pan with foil with overhang, fill it, then freeze. Once solid, lift contents out of Pyrex and wrap in foil and store in freezer. It takes up less room, and when you go to use, unwrap and plop back in pan. Pretty much everyone has one of these pans.

What a loving, kind, and generous sister you are!

[annelafferty]

You are a great sister, I am sure she is thankful for you doing that for her and her family

[carolewarner]

I cannot think of a more wonderful and supportive gift than this for an expectant mother, especially one with two other children already! Your sister will no doubt think of you with love and gratitude each time she makes up any of these to feed their family. I've NO idea how you're able to get SO MANY MEALS made in such a short time frame...well, actually that's not entirely true. I kinda do. You worked your butt off putting up all the produce from your garden so that you could just open jars and frozen veg in freezer bags to make up things more quickly! But still, it's AMAZING how many meals and treats you managed to make up in one long morning...absolutely amazing. So loving and supportive of you!

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your kitchen and all the wonderful recipes! I have been watching for a few weeks and just completed my first big batch cooking of freezer meals. I am a widow and found it hard to scale back and just cook for myself, so usually just shared what I made with my daughters or parents or friends so I didn't eat the same thing several days in a row. I was in the habit of cooking a few meals on Saturday and just re-heating throughout the whole week. My oldest daughter works second shift and mentioned it has been hard to cook healthy meals when she is tired after her shift or got busy and forgot to thaw meat before leaving for work. She has issues with her blood pressure and wanted to stop getting fast food or restaurant meals so much due to amount of sodium in them. I decided your meal planning/freezer meals would be the answer for both of us. I printed a ton of recipes from your videos and other websites and put them in a 3 ring binder in sheet protectors (I ended up with 2 of the 3 ring binders full). I also included several of my own tried-and=true recipes just to have everything in the same place. I spent a day shopping at Costco and Aldi and the next day started cooking. It took me 2 days (5 to 6 hours each) because I can't stand for long periods of time due to injuries from car accident years ago. I ended up with 6 different breakfast meals and 14 dinner meals for each of us. I made the lasagna noodles, tortillas, and sub rolls from scratch. Total cost was $290 which we split. I packaged my meals into smaller portions so ended up with more bags/containers than she did, but now I won't have to eat the same thing several days in a row and we both have nutritious meals ready to go that will last us quite awhile. Her husband loved what he ate so far and said we need to do again and they both will help so it goes faster and doesn't flare up my pain levels as much. I am looking forward to that as it will be quality time together too! Thank you for the inspiration! I have been baking since I was 5 and love spending time in the kitchen, but your process helped me kick it up another level. You are a blessing!

When you said you were looking for your scissors, I remembered seeing them in the top rack of your dishwasher haha!

[gaylecowdin]

Just got home from my daughter’s and made her 9 freezer meals for them. Their daughter just 12 y/o had major back surgery so she will be a busy Mama and hope the meals ease some pressure of her day

[Divamom]

Adding carrots to red sauce is GENIUS!! Thanks for that tip.
