It was such a busy week I didn't get as much footage of the actual meals we made which included toasted sandwiches, salads, taco bowls, quesadillas, as well as everything else I mentioned here!

Dear Mindy, if you slice your peppers from the inside they will slip less and cut easier

Most practical, realistic meal prep video for families that I’ve watched!

@julienulsen6183 3 года назад

Don't be so hard on yourself and your videos don't need to be perfect I just watch your videos because you're very informative and give out good information you're a pleasure to watch

@Sandrashideaway 3 года назад

Grest job! 👌 I've been doing meal prep every Sunday for years now, makes meal time less stressful. 😀 I always make a big pot of soup, baked potatoes, pot of rice, pot of beans, cut up lots of veggies and salad stuff. Then we can throw together quite a few meals during the week so easily. 🤩

@brittanykeith9561 3 года назад

This is the best meal prep in my opinion! All the convenience but ALSO all the variety 😍 after all...it is the spice of life;)

@SeeMindyMom 3 года назад

So true! I'll definitely be doing this more as the summer months approach.

@sherilynalexnder897 3 года назад

Love the way you did this meal prep!! It makes meal prepping a lot more fun, and way less chance of mid-week burn-out to do it so there's room for sudden taste preferences. You can make so many dishes from pre-cooked chicken and ground beef, and customize it for each family member w/o a lot of extra effort. I love all these ideas, plus there's always chicken/beef quesadillas, taco salad, chicken salad, spaghetti, on an on with the ideas. Your family is blessed to have you in charge of the kitchen!

@annbraziel8678 3 года назад

If you want the best rice in the world, try it this way. In a heavy pot such as the one you use, heat a gulg of olive oil. Add chopped onion (half an onion or a whole one,,,your choice). Saute until translucent. Add basmati rice (however much you want according to package directions). Toast for a few moments and add however much chicken stock the package direction calls for liquid. Bring to a boil for a minute or so. Cover and bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. Best you will ever eat! I make up a big pot and eat off of it all week. I prefer to reheat in a small skillet, but it also works well being reheated in the microwave.

Quarantine has totally killed my will to cook, but you have been inspiring me to get back in the kitchen, make simple meals, and use up my pantry staples. Thank you!

@mrswhite645 3 года назад

I have reframed it in my mind as a goal to eat more at home and scale down our food budget. That mind shift has helped us with quarantine fatigue We still eat out about once a week. But, we are generally now at least a 5 days a week "home food" (my daughter's term) family. I also loosened up on the ingredients because a little white pasta or a cookie doesn't hurt our health nearly as much as eating more frequently. Another thing we do is "challenges" like home chicken nuggets vs. Chik-fil-a ones or we compete over who can make the best pizza toppings combo.

@angiet4005 3 года назад

I love all of these realistic, achievable tips and meal ideas you are putting out. I grew up in a family that struggled paying for food. I wish my single, struggling mom had a resource and reassurance like this back then. You are doing good work!

@kennedyariel6536 3 года назад

This is awesome! I love that you cook for your kiddos but you also incorporate meals that they can help in preparing or prepare themselves so they can learn too!

@SeeMindyMom 3 года назад

Yes, we're of the "teach a man to fish" mentality around here! LOL

@kennedyariel6536 3 года назад

Lol, love it! You seem like a great mama 😊

@laurenyost1526 3 года назад

Pizzas on naan is a favorite at our house!! I admire you for looking at your calander and deciding to meal prep healthy food for your family instead of resorting to take out or frozen convenience foods. Well done!! Also, I look forward to the day that my kids (who are 4, 2, and 6 months) will be able to make their own dinners on busy days!

@mylane8904 3 года назад

Awesome ideas Mindy! It's just me and my husband in this season of life but I work 12 hour shifts so ideas for easy, preprepped meals are always welcomed. I just have to remember to do it on a smaller scale.

@bethdurbin3203 3 года назад

I prep full length carrot and celery stalks. Put each in half gallon mason jar with an inch of water first day( dump water out after 2nd day) also same for romaine lettuce...do not chop..just remove end with plastic knife( to not rust). All so crispy and last a good 2 wks if not used up. Helps me not waste so much fresh veggies.

@suefolsom1171 3 года назад

Do you replace with fresh water every 2 days? Do you do the exact same for romaine?

@bethdurbin3203 3 года назад

@@suefolsom1171 I dump on 2nd day...no need for more. It all crisps up and stays fresh. Have done brocc and cauliflower too but need to use up in couple days or rinse thru and drain again

@cherylland8110 3 года назад

What a difference food prepping can make- great video and thanks for all the helpful tips

@JacJo 3 года назад

We’ve made some changes in our household to better our health...esp for our son who is nearly 14 and overweight. Since doing that I’ve been cooking so much more! These recipes are a lifesaver! Love the simplicity and variety! That should be one of your mottos🤩😘

@jennykao76 3 года назад

I see your over-the-door organizer in that last bit - we use one in our tiny coat closet for gloves and hats. Otherwise we're always scrambling to find them. Great ideas for weekly prep, too! Thanks!

@JAWELSH2008 3 года назад

You can do those little naan pizzas in an air fryer too. Super fast and easy and. It gets brown and bubbly on top. Love these!

@kimleein09 3 года назад

Love this idea. Our family is gearing up for harvest season on our farm. This approach would work great for dinners during this busy time.

@busybakingmama2519 3 года назад

I love to meal prep like this, works great for busy weeks!

@maryhammond3341 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing wonderful ideas. I also love those naan breads from Aldi! Sometimes if I am craving something sweet I will toast it add butter and cinnamon sugar

@hollygrimes283 3 года назад

I really need to do better at prepping. We seem to eat at home much more when we have easy meals or things are prepped!

@dianedraveski6485 3 года назад

You should be on hgtv, utterly phenomenal.

@microbios8586 3 года назад

Yeah, I think she could be on mainstream media.

@sunflowerrosem.8651 3 года назад

I've always made rice in the microwave, rice cooker, or Instant Pot. Is that covered pot you used a special type or can rice be made on the stove top in any covered pot?

@mylane8904 3 года назад

I have always made rice on the stove top, and any covered pot will work. I have an off brand pressure cooker so it doesn't have a rice setting. I have thought about trying it but never have.

@microbios8586 3 года назад

I consider myself a decent cook but I've never been able to make rice in the stove that is as good as a rice cooker does. They cost like $15?
