EEEK - I can't wait to hear what you guys think of this new meal prep video AND my new cookbook!! 🎉 And btw, I'm just over here having a little dance party in my kitchen this morning to celebrate my cookbook is *finally* available for preorder!! 🎉💃 xo - Lisa

[@KatTheScribe]

Goosebumps seeing the cover of the cookbook!!! Yay you did it woohoo!! And, what an awesome meal prep video, thanks for all of the great new ideas. I am sooooo making that dressing later today.

[@KatTheScribe]

Oh and btw, just preordered the book! Very reasonably priced, I might add. Thank you Lisa

[@kgoodnow-q3o]

Fantastic meal prep video! I rushed right over and pre-ordered your cookbook!! I’m doing a happy dance too! Can’t wait to get it. Nothing like reading a real cookbook over and over!

[@mariacasella6474]

You have worked very hard on this amazing cookbook!!!so many recipes to choose from~excited to get mine😘

[@iraganas1614]

You are wounderful, thank you so much for making my cooking so easy and tasty 💗🎉

[@Roxanambaresearch]

I can't tell how much I appreciate your generous gift of TEACHING this kind of cooking. Many people eat out or eat processed food because they have not been taught the art of cooking nutritiously and thoughtfully. My husband used to ask me to create a NGO to teach impoverished populations how to cook and get them out of the cycle of processed foods and metabolic disease.

[@Downshiftology]

It's definitely been a long journey to learn how to properly nourish the body - but I'm always happy to share and help others what I learned ❤️

[@cboy-ou2hr]

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Love your cooking comment about not eating processed and canned foods as many people in the US UK and modern society eat. Always excessive fat, salt, sugar, sodium nitrates everywhere !! 🥶

[@socialdeviant13]

​@@cboy-ou2hr look online for healthy delivery services, like Thrive or Misfit Markets.

Tip for not Crying: Always refrigerate the onion prior to chopping it, this inhibits the gases to escape and will not make you cry. What I usually do is I always keep ONE onion in the refrigerator and the rest I store in my pantry in a cool dry place. Once I use the one in the refrigerator, I immediately replace it with a new one. This works for me every time. I hope it works for you. Thank you for this video and congratulations on your new book.

[@kes6016]

That's such a good idea. I've just been using goggles or crying through the pain lmao thank you for your tip

[@katelinsu]

Thank you

Huh I will have to try this. Thanks!

[@melodyvecera1195]

YES!! I also will throw it in the freezer for a few minutes if I don't have one in the fridge.

[@natimarivelez]

This is brilliant! I need to start doing this :) thanks

[@MsLyricLee]

Please do more videos like this. 🙏🏽 I'm neurodivergent & this meal prep video & style makes real tangible sense to me. It's the road map I need. Thank you.

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! You can also reference my seasonal meal prep videos for more mix and match inspiration 😊

Really want to say I never saw such Elegant person preparing meals , slowing down while speaking , explaining , give aways, you are generous and amazing

[@briandaortega7504]

Okay but how are all her cooking dishes and oven completely spotless!? Looks as if no one has ever cooked there before and lord knows this woman has blessed us with hundreds of recipes in that very kitchen. What do you uuuuuuuuuse!?

[@rachelmckoskybennett8285]

Yes your earlier meal prep videos have millions of views. You know why? Because the content is forever useful and inspiring! Absolute solid, go-to ideas that have served us well for years. Gold!

[@dpnice7721]

I am retired so meal prep isn't exactly necessary for me as I enjoy spending time every evening to cook. But your videos are incredible and help enormously with ideas of what to eat. Being single I have to adapt them a little and living in France I may not find the same goods. But thank you for keeping this 71 yr old single gentleman interested in cooking.

[@rachelanderson3147]

You are the first person I've actually followed through with cooking the recipes. Your recipes are always healthy so I don't have to feel guilty. Also, your recipes are so tasteful without being overwhelming to make. Very thankful for your channel and the recipes you have shared. My personal trainer sends me your recipes and that's how I found out about you. Thank you for wait you do. Can't wait to get your cookbook!

[@Downshiftology]

Aw, I'm so happy you discovered Downshiftology Rachel! Can't wait for you to cook your way through this new book ❤️

[@THEMAX00000]

This channel has changed my life in so many basic yet profound ways. (This is how I learn to properly hard boil an egg). She deserves every subscriber she gets. Thank you so very much for everything you do for us. Christ bless you!

[@annate5127]

This absolutely exceeded my expectations. I never learned to cook so I am always overwhelmed by most recipes and give up before trying, on top of that I am a picky eater and usually can't find anything I like. Everything you presented here is extremely easy to prepare, the meals are varied enough that I can just leave out ingredients I don't like, and there is so much choice. Thank you!

[@Downshiftology]

Hope this gives you some new meal prep inspiration Anna!

[@jeniffernoa3788]

I’ve never clicked on anything so fast. Nursing school student here, been following you since early undergrad and kind of fell of the wagon. Back on now with this amazing video!

That makes me so happy to have a fellow Downshifter here ❤️ Hope you enjoy this new budget meal prep Jennifer!

[@forevereveru]

This is not a just budget friendly meal prep, this is also a beautiful and healthy vegetarian 🌱 (almost if you don’t count the tuna XD) meal prep isn’t it? ❤️ Thank you 😊 Lisa, this is going to be another huge hit!

[@Downshiftology]

Aw, you're so sweet! Hope you love this new meal prep ❤️

[@alligatorseverywhere7233]

Your methods have improved my quality of life 100%! I eat healthier and fresher. There’s almost zero food waste at home…by focusing on foundational ingredients every meal is like a fun ‘Chopped episode’. Ok I got tuna, sweet potatoes, crepes-let me see what can be made with those 😅 I also eat way less processed foods and the inflammation and stress has decreased considerably. Oh, and I bought your book 😊 feels like a shower of love and self care every time I read it. Blessings and lots of thank yous

Got to use those broccoli stalks girl!! Shave the outside fibrous part off and cut into rounds about 1/8thin thick so they'll cook at the same speed as the florets. 💯

[@Spidermoney674]

Thank you!! Been struggling with eating so much fast food it’s starting to hurt my bank account, so starting my journey on learning how to eat at home but especially healthier foods. Road is gonna be a journey

[@shawnteldrake367]

I’m right there with you. It feels like the journey is going to be long and arduous but I’m ready to start because I’m tired of always eating out, chowing down food and being overweight. Good Luck on your journey!

[@evelynnnyt]

I’m right there with both of you. Barely made it with my bills and all that because of how much I was eating out. Super grateful for content creators like downshiftology!

[@pamelamonteiro9601]

Hi guys, fast food gets boring & same same after a while. I started cooking this way 6 weeks ago, & now feel good & have energy. Just a share & motivation, thank me later 😂

Wow. I just got a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and I couldn’t be more grateful to come across your content 🙏🏼 Thank you

White potatoes actually have about the same nutritional value as sweet potatoes. White potatoes have a bit more potassium, protein, and carbs, while sweet potatoes have more vitamins A and C, and have slightly fewer calories. The differences are pretty minor, so just go based on taste, budget, and dietary needs

[@MzEllaful]

There's nothing better than a cookbook to accompany a video for those of us who struggle with cooking!

[@sabid1857]

Absolutely incredible! I cannot imagine how much time, effort and preparation it must have taken to put this video together, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful meal ideas ❤️

[@bellahina4577]

Hello. I Just wanted to stop and let you know that this video was amazing and I was so anxious about how to do this myself that I would get anxiety and would just normally throw chicken and a vegetable with just water salt and pepper and garlic seasoning into a small crock pot and that was what I ate the entire week. But you truly made me understand this prep lesson in a way that clicked. Thank you so much for teaching me how to live a genuinely better life.

[@Laceydeancoaching]

I teared up with gratitude from this video. I have pcos and my doctor basically dropped the bomb of endometriosis on top of it yesterday. I am so discouraged and didn’t know where to start, but knew anti-inflammatorydiet is my first step. This saved me so much energy I didn’t have. THANK YOU.

[@lese91]

Yayyyy!! Your meal prep videos are unmatched on youtube!

[@Downshiftology]

Aw, happy to hear that Janie! 😊

[@britaneelunbeck3011]

What a blessing you are! I am 5 days into my 40 day fast with no sugar, grains, or dairy and these recipes are perfect. I am so excited to try them out! you mentioned in this video that you cry while cutting onions. I have a trick for you that someone taught me last year. if you fill a bowl with water and set it right next to the cutting board while you cut the onion you wo t cry. There is some sort of reaction that happens when you cut the onion and if you have water close by it seems to be attracted to that instead of your eyes. Thanks again for your amazing videos!

[@evasochocki5209]

I made the balsamic vinaigrette today. As soon as I tasted it, I said “wow” this is delicious!” I was amazed at how good it is. I can’t wait to get your cookbook.

[@bissum4227]

I think this has the capacity to change my life. I have ADHD and have trouble following recipe videos and healthy lifestyles because they never really show how to create all the recipes at once in a way that seems feasible for busy people, or people who have a hard time visualizing things and prepping, but i could see myself making these things. THANK YOUUUU

That everything seasoning on a hard-boiled egg is WONDERFUL! Simple yet satisfying! A nice variation on just salt and pepper.

[@lanaduca9114]

A great tip for cutting onions: put your cutting board on the stove top and turn on the fume hood/ventilator. It helps me a lot with not crying.

[@user-me2bc2zd8q]

I love that you used all organic ingredients! That's so important to me. Everything looks delicious!

I made the maple mustard tahini dressing last night, and once again, you are correct that this is to be drizzled, poured, and dipped on EVERYTHING😂 After dressing a huge "kitchen sink" salad, there was not a drop left as this bowl of heaven was then used as a dip for the fish.

Outstanding meal prep. I just LOVE your inspiring meal preps. THANK YOU! It is truly necessary to do some weekly preps when you are committed to a healthy diet. Eliminating gluten really demands planning. I find that when I get too tired, too rushed, or have a fridge full of healthy food -- but it all still needs to be washed, cut up and prepared -- it is too tempting to grab something less desirable and satisfying. Advance prepping is essential to stay the course especially when you have food sensitivities and gluten intolerance. It is a joy to open the fridge and see all those choices neatly organized and ready to go. 🙏❤️

I am so excited that I just found your channel! This is going to help me so much in my diet change to a healthier whole foods diet. Thank you for sharing all of these easy, yummy looking meals. I can’t wait to try some! ❤

I just have to say that I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I found you a few months back and since then I have been sharing your recipes and videos with my mom, sisters and friends! You are such an inspiration! I love to cook, go grocery shopping, meal prep etc. but when it comes to opening the fridge and come up with what to actually make of it I freeze. I have saved all my favorite food images from you on my phone, so now I just look there and pick one! I also love when you show a picture of the ingredients! I save that one too so that way I don’t have to look up the recipe every time. THANK YOU for being such an inspiration!

Aw, I'm so thrilled to hear you're loving everything here on Downshiftology! It means the world to me, and thanks for sharing with your friends and family ❤️ Hope you enjoy this new meal prep idea to keep the excitement going in the kitchen (as well as my new cookbook!).

Times are tough. I lost my fitness busines due to COVID-19. Inflation has been hurting. I invested in myself by taking a college course to switch careers. Hopefully I get a new job soon! This meal prep is just what I need. Under these circumstances it is hard for me to order the cookbook. However, my birthday is next weekend so I am putting it on my wishlist! So thankful for my loving family. I will be able to make them many yummy meals if they gift this book to me :)
