3 Freezer Ready Dessert Recipes || preparing for guests
It’s nice to be a gracious hostess when friends stop in (something I’m trying to learn and get better at)… and part of that is having food around the house to pull out for your guests.

All 3 look yummy! Freezer meals would be great. I loved Xander's little face when you guys were working on the Graham crackers and the noise scared him. 😊😊❤❤
These look like great recipes! Thanks for sharing them! I know us Mennos are really into hospitality and food is a big part of that; however, it’s possible to find healthier options. At Christmas we always made so many goodies – enough to take to neighbors, friends, church, and still some for us to eat. We always had at least 10 different things on our own table, and that was after Mom had already given away most of the goodies. As we all grew up, we realized that the way we had been eating might not be the healthiest for any of us! 😄 So, we started cutting out some of the sweeter items, keeping some of the healthier sweets (popcorn balls aren’t too bad, right??), and started including mixed nuts, fresh fruit, berries, cheese, and dried fruit to our snack table. I think this should work with guests as well. Hopefully we all can learn to cut down on sweets, like you have, and enjoy time with friends and family without focusing so much on food and sweets/baked goods. I’m definitely not great at this, especially since I LOVE to bake and have a sweet tooth, but I try and tell myself that passing around fresh fruit to share or offering a plate of grapes, apples, almonds, and a good cheese as a dessert is just as good as a cake and much healthier. ❤️
Lovely video . Putting this in saved videos to make the Texas sheet cake. My Mom made that cake which she had to make for one of my brothers birthdays. Thank you for sharing your time with Xander with us.
I enjoyed this food video. I’m going to try some of these recipes. I don’t have much self control either. I really love your personality.
Omg he is so to die for. Reminds me of myself growing up waiting to lick that spoon. Boy o boy. Sweet memories😀
Xander is a blessing!!!
Jeannie, Any cooking videos with your sous chef Xander… I'm all in!! Sending love from Idaho!!!
Well wasn’t that fun!! Xander is a hoot for such a short cake!😂
It was A verry Nice video! We like it!
Xander is absolutely precious! His facial expressions are just the best. The desserts look amazing! 😀
I like to make apple pies and freeze them unbaked. When I need a pie, I put one in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Hot apple pie, fresh from the oven in 1 hour. I did that the other day and was able to take a nice warm Dutch Apple pie over to some friends house for a game night.
There is a keto style cheese cake that goes together really quickly. Could be even quicker for those not doing keto to already have a purchased crust. Filling goes together in such a few minutes and I usually top mine with a fruit of my choice (normally blueberries) that I let cook a bit till I've got the filling done. Easy to use for those of us who don't want sugar in their diets. By the way I skip the crust too and its just wonderful. I just put it in pudding cups and top if off (ah portion control lol) . It's called sugar free cheese cake at stay snatched dot come. Sometimes we just need that sweet in our day 🙂
Thank you for sharing these recipes
I grind oats and add coconut oil and cocunut sugar to make a healthy crumble topping then cook fruit and leave in freezer bags so I can make effortless fruit crumble if we entertain last minute
Love your recipes! Must try them all. Thank you 😊❤️
Quick & easy is food handy, no matter who you are. Love the ideas!
XANDER gets me every time!! I LOVE HIM!!
Loves this video! Please do more like this with food prep and the way you eat! Also am in love with your little boy, he absolutely makes me so happy 😍
What a good little helper
If you aren't allergic ground almonds and sugar can make a yummy fruit crumble topping too
Thank you! I made the cake recipe for dinner and had missionary friends over tonight. They raved over it.
I love any and all things ooey and gooey! I can't wait to try these recipes.
Your little boy is so cute. God bless your family! My dear , I can't eat that kind of desserts, too much refine sugar… but thank you for the cute video…
Xander is just so precious!
Oh my goodness xanders face when he turned on the food processor 🤣🤣🤣
These look delicious!! And not too complicated 😜
Oh! Try using gf flours and coconut oil and sugar instead of the other bad stuff we can't eat. Ruth shirk has a good cook book but I can't remember what it's called
Xander is just absolutely adorable!! You and Nolan are doing such an awesome job raising him. Obviously a very happy little man!
Zander is so so precious!. I love the interaction between you both and to see him developing into such an intelligent and caring little boy is a gift. God bless you.
I wish you could make another one of these videos. Because some great ideas for me.
Thank you for sharing these. They All look so good. I think my family will like all of them.
Your son is a great addition to your video… he’s a heart melter. 💘 love his excitement.
Your a good mama. Keep up the great work.
Many Blessings to you & yours.
Thank you for sharing!
We don’t make desserts on the regular anymore either. I cannot stay away from them! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
We save treats for holidays, birthdays etc.
I’m really enjoying your vlogs! I don’t watch on the daily but really enjoy your content and NORMALCY in your content. I appreciate that and feel like you are more relatable!
God bless and keep you and your family ~
Bless you for getting that lil guy right in there! Precious ☺️
Love that you let him help. So cute. When the mixer goes and his little arms go around. That made me smile!
Cutest helper ever!
Hey Mennonite Mom,
Hahaha , now that I know how good you are with your recipes, I'll be coming to pay you all a surprise visit.
No wonder Xander loves being your help!
PTGL Amen Amen!
Just joking, OK?
Wish Xander didn't have to grow up. God bless you all. Any chance of another little treasure coming to bless this world.
My daughter, when she was about your son’s age did the same exact thing with her hands when I would bake with my mixer. Soooooooo cute! Thanks for the great recipes and laughs!
Xander is such a precious little helper. Love him to bits!
Love all your recipes can’t wait to to the squares.
I love the waffle whoopies!!! I try to keep whoopies in the freezer wrapped individually. So easy to make. Our new favorite is shortly whoopies.
Hey, I just want to let you know, that even though we cannot be more different, I enjoy your videos very much. I admire you for being so resourceful, hardworking and kind. I could never be so handy and build the stuff you do or look after animals the way you do. Thanks for sharing your life.
Ande menino esta amiga
Love the freezer desserts! Would like quick easy meals.
The look on Xanders 's face when he pressed the food processor button! 🤣. Epic! What a great helper!
Hello and greetings! Quick tip as far as hospitality goes, and that is CREAM CHEESE. I always keep at least two blocks of cream cheese in the fridge. You can top these with any number of different spreads like pepper jelly or salsa. Put out chips, crackers, nuts, and your choice of beverages . It never fails to work. Take care.
What a sweet boy. I guess he’s not little anymore, but he just warmed my heart as your little helper.💝
