Mega Motivation continues this month as we explore garage organization. I thought I'd show you our chest freezers and how we keep them stocked with food that helps us stay prepared with our large family. Check out the Mega Motivation playlist here to see how the other YouTubers organize their garages.
Today's video not only shows you our chest freezers, but shares my favorite muffin recipes for freezing.
The Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe can be found here.

I love your ideas...I do much the same. Just getting ready to enjoy a banana muffin from the freezer with tea while we watch Grandchester on PBS. I have an upright freezer...I am short and have trouble reaching the bottom of a chest freezer. When we downsized and retired I almost did not take my freezer, but so glad I did. It is in my laundry room....I freeze muffins, bread, scones, cake...and lots of soups, too. We are a retired couple and I love having dinners and treats on hand for us and for company. When I bake I make BIG batches and then give muffins as treats to neighbors who are ill, recovering from surgery, or just coming home from a trip as a little welcome home. A few muffins in a treat bag with seasonal napkins and two tea bags makes a treat! Thanks for a great blog and video!
I only wish I had a freezer in my garage. Unfortunately, my husband has filled our garage with so much junk we will never use that there is no space for something practical like a freezer that I would use every day. 😢.
I always love your cooking and baking segments. Your recipes are delicious and easy to make. I noticed your indoor herb garden on the counter and was wondering how you like it. I haven’t heard you mention it before but I may have missed it in a previous video. It looks nice on the kitchen counter and doesn’t seem like it would get messy or attract insects.
Thank you for watching, ladies!
Ann- What a great idea. I love the idea of giving muffins to the neighbors. We will have to try that for Christmas.
Susan- I think you are not alone. A lot of women can probably relate!
Mystery Reader - Yes! Ben gave me that herb grower. It's called the Aero Garden and I really like it! You just fill up the water tank and add the plant food every now and then and it is self sufficient and doesn't attract insects. I might try growing flowers in it in the winter time.
The video made me laugh when you showed your chest freezer. My Mom used to make a joke that we would remember her butt because she was always digging in the chest freezer (family of 10…. With a funny Mom). That’s the reason I bought an upright freezer. Loved the recipes. Just bought a pumpkin loaf at Costco and froze 3/4 of it since it’s just my husband and I now. But muffins is a great idea. You have inspired me to bake! ❤️
Oh, Trudi, that is so funny! Good memories :)
