I tried this for the first time a month ago on the suggestion of a
bodybuilder who made bulk chicken and veg for his workouts. I'm certainly
no bodybuilder, but I wanted to spend time doing something other than being
in the kitchen every evening and washing the tons of dishes that go with
all those meals. I made about 5 meals, doubled up to make 10 and 2 large
cakes which lasted the entire month since I have a smaller family.
Absolutely a time saver, and there is much less of a temptation to eat out
or grab some fast food knowing there is a fresh meal, not heavy in calories
or salt, right in the freezer. All it takes is one good weekend, and I
avoided the kitchen for the majority of the month, only supplementing by
cooking the occasional seafood meal which doesn't take long to cook anyway.
My major tip is to what she has said, which is really chop up
everything...the meat and the veg ahead of time because that takes FOREVER,
and to keep it simple. Dedicating your time to 15 separate recipes is going
to overwhelm you on an already time consuming one day session. Stick to 2-5
and just double them up. - Banyormo
Thanks you make this look easy think ill go out and buy a crock pot with
two children this would be great! Is it ok to put the frozen food straight
in the crock pot to cook? Best wishes from Ireland:) - Ann marie White
No, nononono. I wanted healthy freezer cooking meals, and you mentioned
nothing of a crockpot until a minute into it. Also another 5 minutes until
actual cooking happens? Next time make a more descriptive title and get to
the point. - Giselle Salgado
YOU TALK TOO MUCH I DON'T EVEN WANT TO FINNISH WATCHING THIS !!!!!!!!!!!! - Destiny Green
Loved this! Thank you. - iamgodgirl
I am going to do this I am so tired of wasting food all the time and having
to do many dishes every day. If I freeze it will last longer and taste
better than left overs from the fridge. - supersqueak
GREAT VIDEO! I hate that a lot of ppl just say Buy my book, you showed us
for free! yay! lol - ShopBeautyMania
What an awesome idea! I love crockpot cooking because it's so quick and
easy but I love all the ideas you shared! I also live alone and I feel like
this would be easily adaptable for one person/smaller portions. Thanks so
much for this video! I can't wait to try out some of these ideas!! - budgetbeautiful
Ziplist is a great website/app to use to make grocery lists for freezer
cooking. - gummibear233
So far, I REALLY like the Fix, Freeze, Feast book! Not only do the recipes
look great, there are tons of tips in there about freezer cooking & how to
shop in a budget-friendly manner :) - EmilyCaroline87
*Tip* The next time you make home made chicken stock either take regular
cupcake pan or a jumbo cupcake pan and fill it with the stock, freeze, pop
out and repeat. Then store the chicken stock "cups" in a JUMBO ziplock bag.
It takes up way less space in your freezer and you dont end up using all of
your plastic containers. - miaangel247
Yes, making your own chicken stock is always a win! :) - EmilyCaroline87
Very helpful video! :) I liked how organized the video was! where did you
get those noises to put in each title screen? I'm thinking its on iMovie
right? - theartofallure
Hi, I just wanted to say thank your for posting all your amazing vids and
sharing your family vlogs! My Fiance and I are also an Asian/Canadian
interracial couple and i hope that we have a child as beautiful as yours
someday :) God Bless and Good luck in the New Year to you and your family. - olivialee88
You are so pretty! Thank you so much for making this video, I can tell you
took a lot of time to make it, so helpful! I will try these next year when
I have my own apartment. - angelasherr
After you've tried most of them, I would love to know which recipes you did
and how they turned out! - kbam2626
Glad you like it! Thanks for always leaving such sweet comments on my
videos :) - EmilyCaroline87
LOVED this video! please vlog the cooking marathon next time!!! - Adeline
oooo interesting!!! i might give it a try!! - mishiellie
This must be how the Duggars plan meals! I felt empowered watching this,
like hey I could try that! Haha great tips and I love the little cut away
title screen noise ^_^ - chicachew
Hahaaa! Im a student and this is the way that I live (: My favourite has to
be a chicken broth. Its so easy to make and you can squeeze in tonnes of
veggies and pulses (: plus you can just freeze in zip lock bags in your
prefered portion size - SaraIzzy Bee
Where did you get the polka dot top you were wearing while in the kitchen?! - meganrachelle1987
This video was great! I just wish I was organized and plan ahead for
dinners like this but it may never happen :( - MomieLady
I am so doing this! This is great. Thank you for doing the video on it. As
you find any new tips or tricks please do share :) - stephsbeauty
I love to cook for the freezer. I have about 4 meals that I cook to
completion and freeze. It saves so much time. I learned a bit from this and
thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to check out those books! - brendastar33
If you were to pick 1 of those books, which one would you pick? Which one
looks better to you, easier to use, etc? - kbam2626
Yay Emily! This is so awesome! You've motivated me to try this out :) xo - pixiemama5000
I'm soo inspired by you! I'm full Korean but raised in the Midwest and my
husband is half Korean /half white and seriously it's so sad that we don't
know Korean and of course our daughter doesn't know Korean. I love how you
integrate and have submerged yourself into the Korean culture. Anyways-love
this video and how refreshing! Love your hair in this vid. It seems like
this vid Allso is better quality? Or it's just maybe where you are filming.
Anyways, much love and love your Insta pix too! - juk723
You look so pretty in this video! I was excited for this video because I've
been considering doing this myself. I'm definitely going to give it a shot
now! - Stackyness
I will be posting pics and how the recipes turned out on my Instagram!! - EmilyCaroline87
This would definitely be very simple to adapt to smaller portion sizes!
Good luck if you end up trying it! <3 - EmilyCaroline87
Thanks so much! I filmed a "Getting Ready" video for this look :) Should be
up soon! - EmilyCaroline87
Thanks for the quick response. That's the book I would have picked out
after looking at the first couple pages on Amazon. It looks like it has
tons of helpful tips, I can't wait to order it! Great video by the way. I
wish I would have seen a video like this a year ago before my baby was
born. This would be awesome to do in the last couple of months of
pregnancy. It will still be helpful with a 1 year old running around
though, lol. Thanks!! - kbam2626
please do more food videos i really love these! - Claire Francis
any recommendations for vegetarian freezer meals? - leopardgirl314
Your hair looks great here :) - xbrandnewxx
Thank you! We try and do what we can with keep Korean culture in the
forefront of our lives! Harry is fluent, but Layla so far only understands
the language (she isn't very interested in speaking it)... Also, thanks for
noticing the improved quality! Harry surprised me with a new DSLR for my
birthday & this is the first video I have filmed with it! Anyway, thanks
for watching and for you comments on Instagram too! <3 - EmilyCaroline87
Loved this video, please vlog when you go shopping or cooking the next

Wow, you lead a healthful life:) You are such an inspiration!:) My daddy
boils tomatoes and puts in the freezer as well, he harvests them, he has
his own little crop field of veggies. I personally don't like veggies but I
am willing to go for it, because it's good for you:) - mercedesirasel
Aw thank you so much! I know I am biased, but I think mixed-race babies are
the most beautiful! ;) Good luck to you and your fiance! And thanks for
supporting my channels! :) - EmilyCaroline87
The lipstick is Maybelline Hot Plum (I've been trying to get better about
putting the makeup I'm wearing in the info box haha) and I filmed a
"Getting Ready" video as I was getting ready to film for this look, so that
will be the next video! - EmilyCaroline87
