About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 5 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion and lifestyle videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We loved documenting our journey trying to concieve and getting pregnant, are now so happy to be sharing our experience as first time parents to our daughter, Grace.

My biggest parent cooking hack: with ingredients I use a lot (onions and such) a buy a bulk bag of them and prep all of them, and stick them in the freezer. So nice when cooking with a baby on your hip to not have to cut things up.

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

My granddad used to pick parsley's leafs and roll them into a sausage with some cling film and toss it in the freezer for easy access parsley ready to cut. Mom then argues it completely takes away the flavor. Also freezing other spices like rosemary and such is also great. We have a few plastic containers in the freezer ready to season baked potatoes. Except when mom bought the wrong spice grinder (hot & spicy) and made all the potatoes unbearable how hot they were for me. So rosemary or not I still would not be able to eat feel it.

[@epiccgamingtv]

Sierra stretching those two cans of chickpeas for like 5 meals is impressive.

[@Jojo13Lorin]

June from Delish did a whole video about this!

[@myrikalpless02]

I think you should definitely try short again!! but maybe don’t cut as much off because when you wear it curly you don’t want to have a big shock of it being EVEN shorter😂

[@katieroach5882]

The plastic produce bags do make keeping all the veggies together convenient! But whenever I forget reusable produce bags I just toss the veggies in the cart! You'll put them in a larger bag to get them in the car anyway and can wash all the veggies before use! Just an idea 😊

[@paolaruano]

Sierra your curly hair videos are what inspired me to start my curly hair journey, and I truly can't thank you enough for that 🙏🏻❤️ I feel like your hair has to work with your lifestyle, so do whatever makes you happy and makes you feel good about it. If that's "breaking" the rules that's okay! you look amazing however you wear it 😊

[@CaraTheStrange]

Near where I live theres a roadside store that sells what they call (translated from afrikaans) lazy houswives , that are just bags of pre prepped veggies and they’re amazing!

[@amyparris261]

This meal prep is amazing! Starting anti-inflammatiion way of eating and all of this is on the good list. What did you season the sweat potatoes/peppers/onions and the chickpeas? I never remember to add seasoning.

[@SierraStephenIRL]

Paprika, cumin, salt & pepper 😊

[@howardjazmine99]

I stopped CGM because of the convenience. Instead of every morning having to restyle my hair I could do it about once a week, and once it is in a bun, I was done for if I wear it natural. Especially working out often and my hair getting sweaty, it was just easier to style it with heat once a week and stretch it for as long as possible and spend one hour one day to style my hair for the week instead of styling for 15-30minutes EVERY day.

[@RamoArt]

This blowout really accentuated just how gorgeous and long your hair is and how much there is of it!! Your curly hair journey helped me embrace my own curly hair though so thank you for that ♥

[@laurierosendahl]

Have you ever discussed why/how long you’ve been a vegetarian? Will you be raising Grace as a vegetarian? I would love to know! 🥰

[@corpselizzy]

Sierra is vegetarian but Stephan isn't so probably will be raising her in both

[@SheriLynNut]

Your hair is so beautiful! I love it when it’s curly 😍 I’m also a vegetarian now (is been one year almost to the day that I changed my diet) but my husband still eats meat. I try to do at least 3 meat meals for him a week, plus his lunches usually have it. But he’s been okay with eating more and more of my vegetarian dishes! I love the ideas you have here, I’m excited to try making the salads and bowls you made!

[@babs255]

I know Skylar doesn’t want to be on camera, public on social media, etc. but I was wondering if she still works for your channel??

[@sisiwx6154]

I think Sierra has mentioned in previous videos that skylar no longer works on her channel. She's just focusing on raising her baby. 🙂

[@afterallthistimealways1783]

She stepped away when Milo was born because of her maternity leave, then made the decision to be a full stay at home mom a little after that :))

I was just thinking about your quinoa and sweet potato bowl yesterday and thinking how much I wanna make it! So thank you for the recipe refresher. But I was wondering, in your opinion do you think it would taste ok to swap out quinoa for the chickpeas or even rice? Update: I did make the sweet potato bowl, and it is in fact, delicious with chickpeas as well 👍

[@olliebutanxious]

"The amount of onions I use is absurd," me, thinking about how I went through all 200 onions I grew this year in 2 months, living alone 😂

Try lighting a candle and keeping it right next to where you're cutting the onions. The closer the better! I keep the candle on the cutting board and it helps eliminate most, if not all onion effects to my eyes!!

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

My maximum meal prep was when mom went to her friend to Paris last year. I was lazy but smart. I made pasta with tuna: easy peasy you make the pasta and throw a can of tuna in olive oil into it. But I got full pretty quickly so instead of throwing it away I had a better idea. I already ate from the saucepan (too lazy to dirty up a dish) so I covered it, fork included, in cling film and tossed it in the fridge. Then I told myself: "I don't even need to cook dinner." But yeah in general meal prepping isn't really a thing I would do. I'm Italian and eat lots of pasta which tastes bad if left in the fridge too long/isn's heated properly. And I have a basic knowledge in cooking so that also wouldn't help. Yes sometimes if there are dinner overlefts (mom cooked too much etc.) I will have them for lunch. Or sometimes mom will meal prep sauces like ragù and such.

[@jyannleblanc9047]

The Starbucks pumpkin spice cream is just SOOOO TASTY !

[@EA-df4iz]

Oh my goodness, I can’t do this. Our baby is so reliant on me, because my husband works ALLLLLL the time, so even when he’s home, the baby doesn’t know him, and he just screams. He also sleeps through the night for 10-12 solid hours, which is awesome, but then, he does NOT nap. There are no breaks. I have to wear the baby to get anything accomplished which means my mobility is limited, and I go slower and it gets so frustrating. You guys did a great job with making sure baby G is comfortable with BOTH of you❤️👍

[@nourasummer12]

The only thing about meal prepping is that apparently when you cut the veggies the vitamins are escaping fast, so it’s ideal to eat them right away. So the more you left it cut and prepped, it losts most of their vitamins. I just read that somewhere but I don’t know if it’s true or proven! Obviously it’s still good I think and I know meal prep can be so so helpful 🥰🥰

I really need to meal prep for not only me and the kids, but for hubby who works in the Bay Area (3-4 hour trip each way depending on when he leaves) so he stays in a company rented hotel (with a kitchenette) during the week, and he regularly gets fast food. I think it would benefit him immensely.

I've noticed you eat a fair amount of dairy, and with having a hormonal imbalance I would definitely recommend limiting dairy as it is full of the cows natural hormones and the growth hormones they give to cows to produce more milk. I stick to coconut, cashew, almond, and oat milks, and eat cheese in moderation.

[@SierraStephenIRL]

My dietitian actually recommended I add more dairy into my diet, so just following her advice 😊

Meals look great but small tip: you're not supposed to put hot meals in closed containers and then directly into the fridge 😊

[@Emma-nv7nz]

That’s a myth.

[@ronjasmile7946]

@@Emma-nv7nz actually it's not. When you put very warm food or hot food into the fridge the fridge gets warmer on the inside and then it needs more energy to cool down again= bad for the environment. And secondly the food in the fridge and especially the food around the warm meal gets heated up as well and that's bad for the food that's supposed to stay cold :) if you have a really cold fridge warm food can also lead to ice and you really don't want that

[@saigeshirley8051]

Would love to try these if you have the recipes with measurements and seasonings listed somewhere

[@misslillylovely1]

Hey Sierra! All those meals looked amazing! Just wanted to mention that for best food safety practices, you should let those hot meals cool completely with the lids off before putting them in the fridge ☺️

[@SierraStephenIRL]

Didn’t know this, thank you! 😊

[@coco88357]

That's actually not true. Letting food sit at room temperature allows it to reach the danger zone where bacteria grow. From the Food Service and Inspection Service: To prevent bacterial growth, it's important to cool food rapidly so it reaches as fast as possible the safe refrigerator-storage temperature of 40° F or below. Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator or be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating.

[@MultiSunny83]

I really want to know what is in american food that allows people to meal prep food for week without it going bad... the first time I saw a vlog of someone doing this I thought they were joking because I wouldn't touch any food that was cooked/made more than a day ago unless it was frozen...

[@k8con]

Many people do freeze it!! Everyone I know leaves 1-2 days of food in the fridge and then freezes everything else

[@SierraStephenIRL]

I’ve always heard 5-7 days in the fridge is good, I usually toss it after that. I know meat usually goes bad quicker though, but since I’m vegetarian I’ve never had to worry about that.

I'm good with it being 4 days and less. Anything over 5 days, I won't eat it.
