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
