A friend comes over once a month and we cook for the month for me. I am disabled and it makes it a lot easier and healthy. I chop everything up and if there is something cold to put together I do that. We have the instant pot, crock pot, oven and cooking on top of the stove going. We then divide the meals up into serving size. Fill my freezer. I keep about 6-8 serving in the fridge. So when it starts to get low just pull some from the freezer. It’s a lot of fun. I use to cook all the time and I miss it but this is a good compromise. It usually takes about 6 hours. That’s from beginning to total clean up. Meal prep is a huge time saver!! 😊

[@kimberlyarnold2612]

Wow! Such a great idea! Especially since you're involved in the cooking. My mom was in an accident and her right hand was damaged so she's not able to cook and she loves to cook for herself and for her loved ones. This would be a great idea for her!

[@lisaknox4257]

Love that idea. You're lucky to have such a friend- and she you.

[@hollerlife2108]

That is a wonderful idea! I know when my gramps passed my aunt froze a lot of the food people brought to the house in single size portions so gramma could just pull something out for herself.

[@sarilove123]

Thats great! It sounds super fun to catch up with your friend and cook together!

[@susans3777]

You are blessed with a very sweet friend. I would imagine you two look forward to prep day and have a lot of fun working together.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

New show, “Solo’s Test Kitchen’. 👍

[@SarahBear1209]

That would be interesting!

[@corianne2099]

I just love how active he is in the kitchen especially with how many kids they have

[@darlenegipson6646]

I so understand how hard it is to choose a flavor profile, LOLOL. Glad to know I am not the only one😅. More recipes from Solo's heritage would be awesome.

[@corianne2099]

Sara is bound and determined to have a chipotle bowl lol

[@Stephanieseagerbeauty]

Tell me why - for the last 6 weeks I have been OBSESSED with this channel! Like I’m thinking “oh I wonder how Noel is doing” or Juda, bell and Tori. Always thinking of this family! They really are so amazing!

[@emilyb5106]

Belle is so sweet. When she heard you say Tori loves to brown the meat Belle turns and asked Tori ”oh, do you want to brown the meat?!”. 💕

[@triceybelle5247]

EVERYTIME I see solo he has some curry powder in his hand lol I love them

[@KWilliams106]

I am so glad to see another family that really uses teamwork. I have friends and neighbors who are astounded that my husband and I share the "load". Marriage is a partnership. Thank you for sharing how you live out your vocation covenant with God.

[@bayougirl4410]

I love Noels birthday wish of doing dessert for supper and supper for dessert!! Best momma ever for letting her do it!

[@nataliemccance3337]

The best way to start a Saturday - a OTOM vlog - thank you Sarah!!!

[@sarahmomof6273]

Solo seems like such an amazing husband and father. And Sarah you absolutely amaze me with all you do. The love of God and family shines brite in you both. I love following along with your family. Many blessings to you and yours.

[@oshanasi6363]

Hey, the end of the month has some real flair! These meals sure don’t have the “im out of everything” feel ❤️

[@lisaknox4257]

I've discovered since I started prepping for myself that I tend to eat the same things and, therefore, overlook things that together make great meals. I've had some surprises that I've continued to make that way.

[@BansMama]

I love how Solo just throws everything within reach into a pot and it turns out delicious.

[@Sweetzandmore]

The picture of your family is beautiful...

[@duraishapadayachee1769]

Solo is so cute, what a blessed marriage you guys have 🤗

[@ilovesomeonewithautism3287]

When my son was born my little girl was 4, I barely scraped by. The first three months was a huge adjustment for me. I did work 3 nights a week from him being 2 weeks old ( breastfed every 2 hours and expressed inbetween) but still only had 1 child and 1 baby!!! I'm convinced you are really a robot Sarah-or a secret avenger with awesome super powers x

[@sandracaitlyn9022]

Please don't ever stop making meal prepping videos! They are my favorite videos to watch while I'm nursing my 2 week old 😍😍

[@ItsBirdieCage]

Solo melts my heart. Your family is amazing sara.

[@teresadoyle1396]

When freezing anything in a glass jar let it fully cool and don’t fill it to the top. Leave 1-2” to allow for the expansion. If I were freezing beans, after completely cooling I would just put them in good freezer bags and lay them flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour. Once frozen they take up so much less space in the freezer and thaw quicker when you want to use them. I do this with a LOT of foods, I hope this helps.

[@Elena-er7zp]

Teresa Doyle i do like this approach with baggies, but I do the jars to avoid using extra plastic.

[@teresadoyle1396]

Oreo Emesis I totally understand that! (I had too as I always had a very small freezer when my kids were growing up and I was a SAHM on a tight budget. Plus we didn’t know better then...) Just leave enough room for the contents to expand in the jar. I make freezer jam in mason jars and I learned this the hard way...😢 once I knew to leave some air space for it to expand it never happened again. I hope this helps you.

[@curlybibliophagist2]

I use my Foodsaver to seal my jars. There is an device that you use to seal the jars. You can also use and seal bags too. I love our Foodsaver.

[@berbabrinkley2206]

Teresa Doyle thanks!

[@ChiefsGirlSince1989]

@@Elena-er7zp plastic bags don't break if you drop them plus you can wash and reuse them.

[@laurawilliams7146]

Love it when you all work together. And your salad went fast. Bless you all!! 💖💖

[@quacasualwomen]

I laughed when it said everything is better from mom’s plate. My youngest used to push his plate aside and start grabbing stuff from mine. Even opened my mouth Once and took my mouthfull of bread and put it in his own mouth!

[@kimberlyarnold2612]

You and Solo are such a great team, and I love how the kids always get involved in the cooking 🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing ❤

[@jjgriffin5667]

I love that your kids eat so many different things and are not picky. You and Solo do an amazing job handling the day to day for such a large family.

[@nancycelitans8706]

Amazing how all of you work in harmony...love all the new ideas you have given me.. Your family is the BEST❤❤❤❤

[@melissatamer9193]

I love when y'all cook, it gives me so many dinner ideas. It looks yummy.

[@corhnyball]

I love it when everyone helps you make dinners. Solo makes me laugh when he said what ever it is. My hubby cooks like that to. God bless and enjoy your weekend.

[@spotteddoghomestead9940]

Solo needs to write a cookbook with some of the meals he makes . I cant pronounce them so have no clue how to spell them. The best meals come out of experimental or throw together cooking . Have a blessed weekend

[@liveyourbestlife143]

Pantry challenge desperation leads to some good new recipes. We put chicken. Cheese and rice together. With bacon. New regular meal from now on. Lol

[@wandarios1711]

Y’all always inspire me! Tks for sharing these prep videos. Blessings.

[@Fidg234]

Watching your prepping encouraged me to gather different foods and make my own concoction. When you think about it just put together flavors you like and it will mostly be a winner. Thanks for the TEACH.

[@jowinder5566]

Love the creativity of the challenge! Love that the kids help.

[@sherriroberson542]

❤️ Love how Solo and Bell and your family help out! That is awesome!

I think your family is so blessed. It’s a blessing to be able to cook with your family ❤️

[@kimberlyarnold2612]

I absolutely love these meal prep videos and the pantry freezer videos so very much! And watching the children and Minister Solomon help you with them also! You're so busy with Seth, especially since you're nursing him, and I know that their help is a tremendous blessing for you. Keep up the great work guys! ❤️&😘 from Detroit!

[@tarras3292]

I love seeing everyone helping in the kitchen ,you have amazing family 🌸🌸💞💞

I can't live without meal prepping!! I have to pack lunch every day and often dinner as well for work. If I don't prep - I don't eat! (Ain't nobody want hospital food....) 😁💜💕 Love watching your family 💚

I so enjoyed your blog. I haven't seen you on for the last few days I'm kind of miss you you're like a neighbor to me. I don't know if I told you I am a lady of 74 years Young and a widow. I have some medical issues but I sure don't let them stop me from doing anything. I like how you eat and also the veggie foods are really good for me cuz that's how I like to eat because I am a diabetic and I need to stay away from a lot of lot of almost everything. Keep up the wonderful work God bless you and thank you for all the great cooking ideas and all the great children playing there keeping a smile on my face. Looking forward to another blog.

[@roxannn2829]

Such a beautiful family and Solo is such a nice person always smiling and happy your so Blessed😇, I really wanna make the broccoli salad😁😊 love these recipe meal prep videos

[@briahumble1858]

In 2 weeks I will have 4 , 4 and under . You give me hope for our " big" family that it gets better as they get older and can help more . Watching your daughter brown the meat for you was literally like watching a dream lol ! You give me hope that as time goes on it's not ALL chaos .lol . I feel like your calmness has had to come directly from the Lord himself. Love your videos ❤

[@sandra4395]

I love reading comments like this... Sarah truly is an inspiration to larger families and with 4 toddlers one must need it... Be calm and Mommy on... Blessings to you and your family Bria...

[@briahumble1858]

Thank you so much Sandra , it is so appreciated . We are still considered a "young " married couple . So, I am thankful for mamas like Sarah who share their daily lives and their routines. They help moms just starting out like me see what works for other families and what their real life looks like . God has blessed this family and their sweet and kind nature . They are definitely great role models for us young parents .

[@BrigitteBeckley]

Sarah is definitely a great example of a real mom that is happy, calm and fun! #goals ♥️

[@christygrooten6381]

Ooooo was just looking for something to watch and up you popped Sarah!! My hubby does most of the cooking and loves making up recipes also! We are definitely lucky ladies!! Happy Saturday to you all!! 😊

[@WandaKay4u2c]

One of the benefits of having Solo's recipes is that it increases your watch time. I've re-watched a couple of times trying to figure out all the seasonings he used on the pork! Thanks for sharing your precious family moments with the world 🤗💗

[@TheMeshort]

I absolutely love watching you all!!!

[@juliea2547]

Solo: that's enough.... Then continues to pour the aminos 😂😂

[@1jmass]

I haven’t tried it, but I did hear that if you freeze whatever you put in the jar before putting on the lid and leave some space at the top, the glass is less likely to break. Sounds reasonable.

[@lanagraham1661]

Y'all did good on your challenge! I would love some of that salad. Love how you all work together!

[@bettywurm306]

Great ideas! I’m doing the same today. Cooking/chopping/freezing for the next week or so. I find it helps so much and keeps us from running out for fast food.

[@PaullaWells]

I just learned to can over the winter in preparation for growing our own food this year. Girl, I was scared it was so hard to learn for so many years! It is the easiest thing ever to do. Yes, it is a process and it does feel like work, but when you go to your pantry and you already have soups, beans, jellies, salsa, etc. it is the best feeling in the world! It's like food prep on steroids. Well worth your time and trouble.

[@GrammyMissLisa]

I love your videos Sarah & Solo! Your kids are awesome!❤️

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

Brilliant!! I loved that beef stir fry when we made!! I cooked it all in the slo cooker. Gave me more time to write.

I like how they try to find ways to make meals out of the food n left overs they have for a big family great job

[@Astromontana]

I love how resourceful you are with leftover food! It always bothered me when people throw away leftovers because it's such a waste of food so whenever I have leftovers if my I, my wife or daughter doesn't eat it I try to find someone who wants or need the little extra food.

[@amclaudet]

Love these! This is amazing! I am going to try this. And you’re lucky your kids eat so healthy!!

Love all the ideas to use up what I have and no buy new things. My family love Ugali & Sukuma too, it takes me back to my early childhood in Kabete, Kenya.

[@mildredbosque7147]

The best challenges in the kitchen is to have a experiment in inventing new flavors and recipes. Well at least what I was taught. I'm puertorriquen an us latin love to invent in the kitchen when we don't have much on hand. With all the spices Solo used practically took me back to latin flavors. I guess it will come out just fine in the taste as long as it isn't to salty Lol 😉 This prep will help you out so much Sarah specially now that you have baby Seth BTW I missed him in this video. God bless and good work everyone. 😊😉
