Скачать или смотреть Frugal Freezer Meal Prep for a 1-Year-Old | Scratch Cooking with Affordable Whole Foods

When we spend time at my mom’s house, I still want Makai to have the same nourishing, from-scratch meals he eats at home—so I stocked her freezer with healthy breakfasts, dinners, snacks, and even some naturally sweet treats.
Everything is homemade using simple, whole ingredients—some even harvested from our garden. I made banana pancakes, sweet potato brownies, fruit-only roll-ups, split pea soup, and a fresh basil pesto. These meals are toddler-friendly, budget-friendly, and full of love.
As a holistic, herbal-minded mom, this is one way I stay grounded in our values of slow, simple living—even when we’re away from home. If you’re looking for ways to feed your little one real food on a budget, or just want to see how we prep ahead as a frugal family, I hope this video inspires you.
Thank you for being here 🤍
Let’s eat well, spend less, and live simply.
