Ok, but I feel like the actual first step in any mega meal prep needs to be to send the kids to grandmas house 😂

I only shop every three months. Since my kids were in middle school, I posted a monthly meal schedule on the fridge. It was flexible if we wanted to go out or something.
🤣now that my kids are all grown up, I make fully cooked freezer meals and desserts. We just do grab and go.

Years ago, an elderly spinster neighbour who had been a nurse used to do a prep meals before she went into hospital for surgeries (3 hip replacements, eye surgeries) she would use little plastic plates and make little triangle sandwiches and put on each plate, wrapped in plastic. She would make up some casseroles and put them in single serve containers. She also put a couple of loaves of bread for toast in the morning. She did not have a microwave oven so she took the items out the night before to thaw in the fridge. She would have tins of fruit to cover her fruit requirements and they were served cold anyway. She was fiercely independent woman. She worked her tail off. This was in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. in the 80s and 90s. She used to take classes at the University of the Third Age (Usually history classes), maintained a beautiful garden and lived in the original 1946 home. She had a small wood burning stove which she used and cut her own wood to fit. (house was not centrally heated or cooled, just a fan.) She looked after her mother for years, often working three jobs- She worked as a maternal and baby health care nurse, sold Tupperware and took in typing.

Wow this was incredible. I meal prep every week because I do have medical issues where I can’t cook so I don’t have to rely on processed foods or takeout. I always make a pot of soup so I end up with a variety of soups. They seem to freeze the best! Thank you for your inspiration!❤

WOW what a ton of work on the front end but SO MUCH time-saving on the back end! Excellent work Maria! I’ve never thought of Philly cheesesteak as a bowl—definitely trying that!

The nice thing about doing these all in one day is that you've got variety for the rest of the month. You don't have to eat the same breakfast, snack, and lunch 5 days in a row, which gets boring by day 3.

With limited freezer space I have gotten some of those freezer silicone cubes. They’re really nice because then you can put them in either a freezer bag after their frozen solid or use a vacuum sealer. Take up much less space.

Gosh, it looks like you have recovered from your illness and you look amazing. You look like you just got back from vacation-where you left everybody else at home😊🌴

I’ve mentioned before that I’m disabled & lately I’ve been having a hard time. This is a good reminder of things I can do to make mornings easier sending the hubby off to work. These look so satisfying. The oatmeal cookies look great, but I’m never satisfied with sweet breakfast-it just feels like a breakfast appetizer 😂. I also like toe tumeric in the tofu, makes it look like eggs.

I get tired making a week's worth of food in one day, I can not imagine doing a month. I am impressed.
I agree Mushrooms are delicious and nutritious yum

I think you would like a Swedish dough hook for mixing your batters

I baked 2 whole chickens then used them in a few meals.
Biscuits, 1chicken breast, green breans add cream of mushroom. Added green beans casserole to my chicken and my 2 oldest kids loved it.

Chicken spaghetti
2 Chicken breasts shredded, cream of chicken & 1/2 of cream of mushroom and a cup in a half of milk to thicken microwave then mix well.

In a glass pan add shredded chicken
Then cooked spaghetti
Then more chicken then pour over cream of chicken & cream of mushroom and mixture all through move around with large spoon so juice can go to the bottom. add shredded cheese on top then milk in oven until cheese is melted. Enjoy add some garlic bread. *tip some people add a can of rotel to their spaghetti be careful with small kids using this because it is a little spicy.

So great to see a new Englander cooking YouTuber!!! I'm a market basket girl for life!!! Born and raised!

[NatachaKemp]

Yaaay! This is so awesome. You cooked from scratch and did a fridge/freezer/pantry clean out. I’m going to try a few of your recipes. ❤🩷

[katievdbshsh]

Yes, I love mushrooms. Once my chef brother gave me 5lbs mushrooms to make soup for both us.I found a great recipe. Best soup either had ever had. I still make it today. Dont remember where I got that mushroom soup recipe. Im really happy to get all your meal prep ideas. Thank you- God bless from grandma Katie in Oregon

Hi Maria you did and EXCELLENT Job on the MEAL PREP 😊!!! 💯

[pianochicpiano]

Use your kale stems for a blended green sauce

[melindastookey]

I love them, my husband can't stand the texture of them but if I mince them for sauces or soups he's good

[suebarnard]

The Buddha bowls you could freeze them and leave out the kale and avocado and do that the day of or the week of 😊
