I make freezer meals for three main reasons.
One to save money by eating at home. I love to cook but I do not like the pressure of having to cook every day. By having freezer meals in my freezer I can know we can eat homemade meals daily without the pressure of cooking and cleaning a big mess daily.
Two is to control the ingredients in food. I love to eat the best quality food possible and by cooking at home I can know exactly what goes into the food we eat regularly.
Three to use up the garden produce I grow and put up all spring and summer. I put a lot of work into my garden and if we don’t eat it, what was the point. Freezer meals help me use up what we store away for winter! I hope you enjoyed the video!!

Your videos are like spending time with a friend x
Bull-gol-gee… spot on Becky!!!
I’m literally obsessed with watching these videos of yours. So interesting
Jess said you were great and she was right.
Made the pumpkin pasta and oh my goodness is it good!! I'm not a fan of pumpkin but somehow had a can in the pantry I needed to use. That pasta is going in regular rotation.
Love watching your video. I like making chicken in the instant pot and cooking my hamburger in the instant pot. Saves time and space
I just learned about your channel from Jess on Roots and Refuge. Your organization is amazing to me!!! I am inspired and challenged by you. Your recipes sound scrumptious. Your tips are inspired. Thank you!!
A little different twist but I do a refrigerator bran muffin… the batter can be in the refrigerator for a month.. so always have fresh muffins for breakfast. Also lots of egg bake recipes for the freezer. We like to have breakfast for dinner sometimes
Bar Keepers Friend will also refurbish your stainless steel pots/pans! Just mix some of it with water into a paste and spread it on your trouble areas and let sit. You can also get it in a liquid formula as well. Plenty of videos/websites on this. I've restored a number of tortured pots and pans with this product!
I really enjoy that you make freezer meals from scratch. I was wondering how you covered. Thanks for showing. Found you channel at Roots and Refuge.
I prefer Romano to over Parmesan, it has more flavor. Carnitas (pork shoulder is so cheap too) freezes really well, and if you are already making tomatio sauce, chili verde is excellent. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet that chili colorado would freeze well too. I use Ziploc bags and remove as much air as possible.
I hope that you have a generator as a back-up should the electricity fail.
I'm tired out just watching you girl! Do you play these back at 1.5 speed or do you talk and move that fast? Absolutely love you, your organization, planning, multitasking, WOW.
Pro tip: Don’t thaw your pumpkin purée before throwing it into dishes. It comes out of the plastic bag soooo much easier that way, than thawing and squeezing. No waste when you pull it out from the freezer and peel the bag off. I do that with pesto as well – any sauce I freeze in a plastic bag. I figured I’ve worked really hard to grow that pumpkin, or basil and make the pesto, and I don’t want to lose any that I can’t get out of the baggie.
If you put the onion in the refrigerator so it is cold before you grate it, it doesn't burn your eyes so much@
I live in a small apartment with a tiny fridge/freezer. No room for any of what you make. Nice recipes though.
Commet works great too, you wet sink scrub with commet and leave over night.
Wow very impressed! Thank you
I miss batch cooking, it’s encouraging that you are doing it only with just your husband and yourself. Since it was now just me and my husband, I didn’t think it would be beneficial in doing it with just us, I will now do it. Resurrected freezer cooker here! Thank you for you for the links love the all natural grain feed meat.
A tip for keeping those gallon bags upright while you add everything is to use the green zip lock bag stands, available on Amazon. They extend to fit a few different sizes of bags 🙂
How long do these meals typically keep?
Found you via Roots and Refuge. All I can say is fantastic!!!! Re-energized and re-inspired thank you
When you are having to cut onions keep a wet sponge or a glass of water near you and you won’t have cry.
Wow Becky.. You are amazing! Love everything!
I totally hate how they don't deliver to Alaska. Ugh. We would pay for delivery.
Hi Becky, Howdy from Texas! Just wanted to let you know that I just found your channel a few months ago, and have really enjoyed watching you and all your prepping adventures and have learned alot from you. I was just watching another of my favorite channels "Roots and Refuge Farm, who's channel actually got me to start gardening a few years ago. Anyway was just writing to let you know that Jessie mentioned on her channel that she watched this video and going to try to start preparing freezer meals. Just thought it cool to hear her mention you and your channel. Great Job !!!! I enjoy your videos very much and look forward to watching many more…Thanks!
Anyone else repeat "Ongions" after Becky says ONIONS??? hahahah
