Back to Meal Prepping! 

I am a single woman with no kids, but I so look forward to your videos. Your family is so nice and entertaining. I don't know how you keep up with it all.

As an empty Nester it sure was fun watching the boys/men come in and check out what you were cooking, I miss them days, treasure them…..

The one problem I have with meal prepping is NO ROOM IN THE FRIDGE!!!

I’m 21 yrs old with no kids and I still adore these videos 😂 #imreally40

Sarah: Know which days are trouble for you. Me: ALL of them. 🤣

I literally couldn’t love a family more. You make me want such a big family especially now that you have another on the way!

We are anxiously awaiting the meeting of our 6th baby (in about 9 weeks) and I am finding that working out every day is essential for the first time ever throughout this pregnancy! Maybe it's a 2021 baby thing ;).

I'm amazed how musically inclined the boys are. 💕

New subbie here! Love learning about your growing loving family! All my kids flown the coop and I miss busy days, schedules, meal prep and all the daily loving activities that go with having kids at home! These are the best days! One day you too will miss it! Enjoy the craziness! You’re both awesome parents! It shows in your beautiful kids! Blessings to you all 💕🙏💕

As an empty nester I’ve found it’s good to cook all my veggies once a week, then plate up what I want to eat each day

I’m a single mom with 4 boys. I’ll like watching your meal prep and grocery haul videos. It helps out a lot with my house hold.

As much as I sometimes hate meal prepping in the moment, I’m always so glad I did it in the future days/week!

Only two of us now - but I really enjoyed your meal prep! You showed that you don’t have to prep entire meals the make aheads really help pulling dinner together.

You are inspiring! It is amazing how you do all that while being pregnant. It is lovely to see your daughters helping out by baking, peeling eggs, doing dishes or whatever they can to help out. Your tip about identifying your weak days will help a lot of families. One benefit of the pandemic is that families have slowed down and aren't so overscheduled with activities. I hope as things are relaxing that families reexamine what is a reasonable schedule and don't feel like they must always say yes to every event or activity. Have a blessed week and Happy Mothers Day!

Everything looks very tasty 😋, and it's so nice how the kids always help in the kitchen 😊 👍💕💕💕

Maybe getting a mesh closure for the door would help with the flies. That way you can have the door open but keep the flies out. I brought mine from Boscovs,

Judah n Luka are getting sooooooooo tall!! WOWWWWW!!! But soooo are Belle n Tori... they're getting tall as well!! Im a 36 yr old mom as well from Columbus Ohio, but have shared patenting with their fathers, so I REEAAAALLLLLYYYYY enjoy watching the 'big family life'!!!! Just adore ur family soooo much!!! God bless u all... 🙏🏼💕🥰👌🏼💯

One thing we do often is just get the meat thawing in refrigerator and have all the vegetables prepped. We eat a lot of onions and green peppers. Idk how my little family eats so many in each week. Every recipe we adore has them in it hahaha

Love how you plan for the week. Whether you’re feeding a lot of people or just for yourself, it saves having nothing ready and one tends to get “not great and expensive” food to make do! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I meal plan, prep all breakfast lunch and dinners at my house except weekends when my husband is actually home! Lol it’s overwhelming the day or two I’m working on it but worth it In the long run for sure

I love crust less pizza! Line pan with pepperoni! Add a little sauce and hamburger. Put onion, and olives, peppers if you want. Put cheese on top! Add a few more pepperoni. I put it in a 9x13 pan (big 6 piece) or a pie pan(small 4 piece). Bake 350 until cheese is melted or browned to your liking. Enjoy!

Cooked roasted veggies straight out of the fridge tossed on a bed of lettuce with Italian dressing is devine 😋

Could the boys be working on a new theme song??? Hmmmmmm. Anyway, this video was inspiring, I really need to get back in my kitchen to prep too. It really does help. Thanks to you and Solo for keeping it real!

I am 1 person and meal planning helps even me stick to eating better. When I dont have a plan I tend to grab take out to. I work long 12 hour days I need to be able to grab and go through the week.

I love how kindly Solo speaks to you. He’s so gentle in talking to you. You guys are awesome ❤️

I definitely missed meal prepping when we were living with family. Glad to be able to get back to it. As a former baker the bread thing is something I did as well

Love your handles on the kitchen cabinet doors! Thx for sharing the simple meal prep. You can always make a keto pizza dough with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pizza spices, an egg, & then mix together with a fork. Put parchment paper down of cookie sheet. Spread out & press into a rectangle put whatever toppings you like (don’t need sauce) then top with more cheeses of your choice. Bake @ 375 degrees 12-15 min. Enjoy!! I don’t remember the person on RU-vid that I got that from. So good!! Blessings! 🤗💞

It's only me home now but I still enjoy meal prepping. If I don't , I make excuses for not cooking for myself. Kida and grandkids live close by so there was always week day and week end dinners until covid. Now I overcook! But we are starting to get back to normal. Love watching you cook for your large family!

Hi all !I,m a granny in the UK and hardly seen my grandkids this past year.It,s always interesting to me to see what people buy what people buy

I love that you have your kids try everything!! My parents made us try and eat eeeeeverything growing up, and none of the 4 of us are picky eaters! :) We were eating mushrooms, pickled things, meats, clams, whatever things were on the menu. And now we all like to eat everything! Especially incorporating African dishes, it was fun to have such a variety growing up!

I want to see a whole grocery list. And a month worth of menus. Lol.

Phone camera works JUST as well as regular camera! Love this video with everybody helping to make the food for the week!

I've had my Nutrimill for 16+yrs. I got a similar book on home flour grinding at the time, plus a self published spiral one from the Bread Beckers that I refer to often. I'm going to add this one to my collection! I used to have 2 bread machines and 2 crockpots etc going all the time too. I only have one kid (of 9) left at home now (13yo but the rest are 20-36 lol) so there are just 3 of us to cook for. I find this much more challenging haha!! Husband likes things made fresh or I would prep more. Love your channel so much (and Jamerill's)...takes me back to the good old days!

I still think it would be a good idea to have the 5 eldest kids take one night a week to cook a meal for the family from start to finish. Film them deciding on a meal, shopping for or adding those items to your list, prepping. cooking it and clean up. If they did one night a week that is 5 nights you and Soli would only need to supervise and not do as much of the work plus the kids gain new skills

Phone camera is totally better than no camera! I love to see how you meal prep! Thank you 😊

Sunday is big dinner early and brunch. Eat at 11 and 5. Monday is pizza night. Homemade crust and cheese and pepperoni. Friday is fish. Wednesday is cheap night like convenience maybe hotdogs or beans.

I am 24... live almost the exact OPPOSITE lifestyle as you... but I always wait for your videos!! Haha I love them the most 💓 hope you have an amazing day, you’re a superwoman!

I love how you “encourage” your children to help rather than making it a job they “have” to do like we have seen before in many large families. Your children care for each other because they care and they help because they want to. Now that good parenting in my books. They should help. that’s good. but at the end of the day you and solo are the ones that have chosen to make the family as large as it is and I like that you take full responsibility for it and don’t expect the kids to do everything. it shows in how the children behave.

Hey, go to home depot and purchase Rescue Fly Trap...hang the trap away from the house cause it smell awful. But, you won't see any flies all summer. I change my traps weekly cause it fills up fast.

You certainly have alot of leftovers to help you out for lunches this coming week. Helps out alot. 🙂. Want to try your Beef Stroganoff. 😁. Glad your busy weekend has winded down. Get some rest momma. 🤗🤗. Bless you all!! 💞🙏💞🙏💞

Thanks for pressing forward with your phone filming! We love seeing you and the fam💜

I use one or 2 nights for leftover night with a mix of choices. Its just my husband and myself but I still overcook the amounts.

You should check out the book cook once, eat all week. It has been revolutionary for me with meal prepping.

Even though it's just me in the house, I find I eat healthier when I prep ahead especially since I'm diabetic.

Thanks yall

Love the entire family pitches in when possible!

I just thought you were tired of making these videos(which would been fine if that was the case) and not stopped for the while but glad for you that you decided to start again and still want to share the process. I will always watch these videos so keep up the awesome work ❤

I also noticed the same, if I don't work out, at least 20-30mins aerobics a day, I feel so out can barely work

I've been shopping for a month at a time for the last year (you sold me on it) and I did not this month for some reason. Totally regret it. Need it get back to it for next month. Thank for sharing your tips, tricks and honest opinions.

Thanks for sharing.. Happy Mother's Day 💐.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗

Try using avocado oil on your baked vegetables. Primal kitchen makes a good avocado oil but there are several good brands on the market. Make sure it pure and doesn’t have soybean oil. I use with my Keto diet. Evo brand makes a stainless oil sprayer in red, blue or stainless. Great for spraying veggies .. don’t get the plastic one as can melt if by a grill or hot burner. Look on Amazon ... sprays evenly.

My husband and I are just starting to talk about growing our small family, and I hope some day we can be as blessed as you with a large family! I look forward to every one of your videos, thank you for being so wonderful ❤️

Busy very cooperating family! Done with such joy! Thanks for sharing how blessed you all are!

Great playing on the new 🎸 guitar! Blessings.

I have also found prepping even a little goes along way for dinner. Have you tried chickpea pastas? It’s gluten free with protein. What oil mix do you put in your spray bottle? That is such a great idea to avoid cooking spray.

Thank you so much for this video! Definitely inspired me to prep today! Ive been off it for a while and like you.. It's making dinners such a chore!!

I’m so glad to see the meal prep videos back! Loved seeing the little girls in the kitchen! My little loves to be in the kitchen too!

Meal preparation saves me lots of money. Love watching your channel

Yes to getting that pizza dough into the freezer right after you put it in the bags. Also I think it helps to add a little bit of olive oil in the bag first so that it helps coat the dough. If I leave it out even a little bit before putting it in the freezer it will be able to pop the bag because it's still going to continue to rise in the freezer until it's frozen. I LOVE having frozen pizza dough available.

Meal prepping definitely helps a great deal. We put our seasoned meat in meal sized parcels and freeze. Makes cooking less time consuming. 😊

Try this to lower your blood pressure. It’s been working for me. My sister in law uses Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and so do I for the regular cooking but I watched a video to see about lowering my blood pressure and it said to put a teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt in about twelve ounces of water and stir well. Drink it on an empty stomach. It will lower your blood pressure. It also helps me with other health issues. I have been doing this for about a year and I have no high blood pressure for ages. My doctor is thrilled with all my numbers. I don’t have to take blood pressure medicine or diabetes medicine either because of my diet and the pink salt.

I really enjoy your meal prep videos and grocery hauls.

Can Belle do a video on making the banana bread? It looks so good

Love the meal prepping. I really should bump up my meal plan game.

I love how your kids are so helpful in the kitchen. It is good practice for them too 🥰

I bet you all would love roasted chickpeas to eat like croutons. You can season them with curry powder or season them like barbecue or like a Caesar salad.

Just to help with your ground beef. you can do it in your instant pot. manual 30 minutes on the trivet with 1/2 c water. I've done 5 lbs at a time. You just crumble it when its done. then you can do anything with it. LOVE this time saver

You could always shred your Kerry gold cheese ahead for taco nights. It would store fine in a zip lock or tupperware.

Hi Sara i think you would like this bread 1 beer (a can 33.3 cl) 3 cups of flour some baking soda, salt and sugar combine everything and bake it in a form for around 30-45 min. in the oven on 400F

Your phone camera 🤳 worked just fine. Meal prepping takes serious dedication and certainly does pay off. Great teamwork in the kitchen as always! Have a great WE tribe!👋🏾💚💜🙋🏾‍♀️

'I don't want to have a routine on the weekends" Amen! we all need a day or two where we go with the flow! Sarah pregnacy definitely agrees with you! You have never looked more beautiful ( I did not think that was possible as you are always gorgeous) and relaxed!

Your finished kitchen update looks fantastic great job 👌❤

try lard instead of olive oil when you oil your bread pan, it makes the bread way crispier on the outside! my mum makes bread once a week and always use lard on the baking pan, it comes crispy every time. She tried olive oil but it wasn't that crispy

I think y'all do a great job meal prepping !! Love to watch everyone cook!!

We don't have a routine on the weekend either. Love watching your meal prep videos, it gives me and meal ideas for my family.

Baked potatoes are super fast and easy in the instant pot!

Fun to watch and nice to get new ideas for dinner.

I enjoy these laid back around the house videos so much. One silly thing I thought of.. those DANG olive oil bottles!!! Sometimes you can pop out that gasket thing that makes it pour slowerrrrr than cold molasses!!! It’s nice to have them when you just want to coat a pan but gracious get out of my way when I need more than a drop!! 😂😂😂

I LOVE this book, it motivated me to make some changes that I knew I wanted to make but now have a little more knowledge on. This book and Mrs Mary from Mary’s nest on RU-vid have inspired me. Now because of you I know that it’s possible thank you!! Good job pushing through!

If you have the egg bites thing for the pressure cooker....can break eggs into them and make hard boiled eggs then don't have to peel them ..(Might be easier for you)

I have a ridiculously small kitchen and my ceiling in my kitchen is about a foot lower than my dining room, so when I see your cabinets, I dream of actually having room for things

You should try crustless pizza! You take wax paper and put your cheese and sauce and other toppings then put it in the oven till it is melted it is super good that way!

if u wash n soak rice b4 cooking, it takes a lot of arsenic away n makes rice fluffy n less starchy

You look adorable! Meal preparation is a wonderful thing, I should be doing more of it. It like to make 4 batches of meatloaf, stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbage. They freeze well and are ready in minutes.

Just an idea I use. I cook my hard boiled eggs the same way you do but to peel them I put 1 to 3 in a quart jar and shake then peel under water and is so much faster. Give it a try!

I love this family! So authentic and appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing and I love when your son plays guitar and Happy Mother's day 💓💙❤

As obvious as it may sound, prepping for your “weak days” is GENIUS!!!!! Thank you for that 🌻

I’m 27 weeks pregnant 🤰 I am literally watching you prep food as I’m stuffing my face LOL thanks for the inspiration

Love to watch the meal prepping. Thanks for sharing. God bless you ..

Nice progress on the shelves and we'll done with your prep day. I'm sure that changed your week! Those day help my week immensely and there are 5 of us in this house, not 12!!

So if you go to home Depot and get the stuff called fly trap and you get a spaghetti jar and you fill it 3/4 of away at least an inch and a half of water on the top however pour the powder in the jar. Do this outside where it's not windy. Then you take some yarn or some string and you just hang it for the kids can't get it. I hang it on my spigot near my deck. And that will collect flies. That food last for 3 weeks and you just throw the jar out. Because they sell this reusable container but I'm going to be honest with you I am not cleaning out a container full of flies. And it really works. I did forget to tell you that you need to punch big enough holes not too big but big enough holes on the cover that a housefly could go in too. What I did was I put the cover on the jar had someone hold the jar and I would take the big nail or a Phillips head screwdriver and I would pound a hole in it now you have to go gentle but obviously hard enough to put a hole in it. And put several holes in there like I don't know 8 holes. Don't punch the holes the opposite way. Cuz you want the bent metal pointing inside the jar.

That’s so great though that you see the weak areas and you are working on getting those fixed. I was working out on a regular basis and eating better and I have had no motivation and it has been a nightmare

I saw on Instagram where someone made pizza jalapeño poppers in their waffle maker. Jalapeño cut in half mozzarella cheese stick n pepperoni on top. Put in waffle maker for 3-4 minutes! Looked delicious!

I love it when our leftovers get eaten up. It is like cleaning out the fridge.

I'm on the 3rd and final day of a meal prepping streak, it's so hard to start, but man am I grateful when it's done and my freezer is full! Love that Solo is the official fly catcher in your house like my hubby is in mine😂

Thursday and Friday are my weak days because that's when I'm the most exhausted

I am about to have 3 kids in high school, all playing sports, I really need to get in the habit of meal prep

My goodness you and your husband look like you really get each other

We are a small family. But I need to meal prep. Thank you for sharing
