I always love having Jamerrill Stewart on the podcast because she brings so much encouragement and practicality to the table—especially for those of us feeding a lot of people every day. In this episode, we’re talking all about freezer cooking, bulk shopping, and how to make mealtime a little less overwhelming. Jamerrill shares what meal prep looks like in her current season of life, how she keeps food on the table for her big crew, and simple ways anyone can start building more margin into their kitchen routine.
In this episode, we cover:
- Life updates from Jamerrill and how homemaking looks in her current season of single motherhood
- The story behind how her freezer cooking system began and why it works for families of all sizes
- Tips for shopping in bulk, planning monthly grocery trips, and staying on budget with a large family
- How she preps ingredients—like meats and rice—in advance to simplify daily meal routines
- Her strategy for always doubling recipes and freezing extras for easy meals later
- Why having a stocked freezer made all the difference during a family medical crisis
- Creative ways she handles leftovers with a “choose-your-own-adventure” approach to meals
- The logistics of storing bulk food with multiple fridges and freezers throughout the house
- Kitchen tools and systems that help her manage daily meals for ten—like her oversized island and dual dishwashers
- Encouragement to start small with meal prep—even one extra freezer meal can lighten the load
