Judah is great, I can say that he always has a beautiful smile on his face.

[@michellematthews773]

He’s got the biggest smile.

[@SMaria003]

I need a Judah in my house, the kid's amazing! 😃 Good job guys!

[@LifeWithMrsB]

He’s a good one! I could do with a few myself 😂😂

[@jennypatterson4804]

When my husband realized how much easier my pressure cooker made my life, he went out and got me the next two sizes down for Christmas 😂 So now I have an 8 qt, a 6 qt, and a 3 qt and I use them all the time. I thought he was crazy for buying me more than one but I'm so glad to have them when I do freezer cooking.

[@lizheuserbevan6564]

I have two and 8 qt and a 6 qt

[@redd30093]

Add brown rice, tomato soup, chillis tomatoes, corn, black beans,cheese, cumin , taco seasonings, chicken mixture layer in casserole dish top with more cheese cook on 400 till firm. Serve as tacos or nachos. I do my as lettuce for taco shells. Very very filling.

[@carlapraught4922]

I started meal prepping because I was eating out way to much. Definitely helped with that. I rarely eat out now :)

[@amandaramsay5934]

The meals look so tasty. I love seeing the kiddos helping out with the meals and baby.

[@mplummer1574]

Oh Juda.......such a cute helper ❣️

[@rebekahatchrimi241]

I can relate with the I'd just have a salad comment! 😂😂😂Lol I am always up for a salad or wrap especially in the summer. 🥗🥙🥗 I love these quick meal prep videos. 💜💜💜

[@AmericanAkitaClub]

LOVE YOUR FAMILY SO MUCH SO HAPPY FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS !!

[@jmedina7877]

I always find myself saying hi to the kids out loud lol.. love your family

[@AjM1815]

I need to get on the meal prepping train. I now have inspiration and motivation. Tfs!

[@VirtualkitchenwithLaura]

Sarah, If you forget to thaw the meat, fill the sink with water, place the meats in their package in the water and it will thaw. In about 1/2 hour you are ready to go. I do this all the time.

[@geraldineclark3438]

Thanks for sharing. Great meal prep video. Luca is a great chef. Seth is getting really big. Happy Tuesday!

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I make a mung bean stew made with coconut milk, goes so well with grilled fish and white rice! Like one lady mentioned earlier; you need a binder for the meat to make it easier to form, bread crumbs will do it :)

[@paulanelson1884]

Love watching your family! Going to try your fish recipe with the topping! Judah is getting so tall! I thought wow he just got that off top shelf! He must be over 6ft now!

[@sarahmullens7094]

A rule my family has for the kitchen is never have a one use tool, normally they take up more space than they do save time.

[@cometTells]

I love your meal prepping videos!!!! I’d love to see more of them! :)

[@theblendedtruth1408]

We do Mayo n paparika smeared on fish pref salmon and the slice a lemon and steam them in foil. Omg so good!!!

[@dietitianmama]

Chicken tacos in instant pot: i add a small can of mild green chilis, extra cumin and some brown sugar. The kids devour it. I know you don't do sugar, but the extra cumin and chiles. maybe extra water to keep it from burning in the pressure cooker.

[@Terralynsparrow]

We also do parm and mayo over dish, but I use creole seasoning as well. SO GOOD.

[@danielledarlow73]

Your chicken tacos looked delicious. My family is small but meal prep definitely still helps. Thanks for the tips.

[@simplyika7823]

All the meals look delicious. I don't know how you do it Sarah, cooking for 11 people is no easy task. I love your videos, you inspired me to continue with my youtube channel.

[@OurTribeofMany]

We added people one at a time. That helps!! 🤣

[@charlyeellison4885]

Its easy when you are organized to do it. I cooked for a living for almost 30 years , 300 meals by myself, organization is the key and Sarah and Solo have it together alng with help from older kids.

[@barbarapinkston7435]

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. so many memories, graduated as RN from bRYAN IN 56 back in 2006. Great changes!

[@kristallepeguero6095]

With the burgers, you may need a binder like you would in a meat loaf to help it all come together

[@KATIEB1989]

Good morning Sarah and tribe! Have a wonderful day :)

[@OurTribeofMany]

Good morning...afternoon to you!

[@angelaoren1344]

Love watching your videos. I have got so many ideas from your meals. Have a great day

[@JaTon]

I just love watching you!! You are very inspirational!

[@emelieowens6026]

You have inspired me to meal prep, I find, as a teacher, after a long day of work I am often too tired to cook so meal prepping will be helpful. Also love that tilapia recipe and broccoli salad, might try this week!

[@ikalka93]

I've been vegan for 2 years now, and I'm so glad to hear your family is giving it a try! Theres a whole other flavor town so many people don't know about until they try going vegan. KZbin and Instagram are a great recourse to find recipes outside of the normal vegan alternatives.

[@ritabrunetti381]

Great prep!! Enjoy all you made!!

[@Peacht.official]

love the meal prep& meal ideas☺️

[@kimberlyjean2248]

This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

[@melindaridinger3008]

Great video!!! Hey judah, i have a tip for you when using the hamburger press. Place parchment on both sides. The meat will stick to the parchment. Leave the parchment on each burger.

[@susanbien6957]

Love the channel. Your delicious looking meals made me finally break down and get an instant pot.

[@ambersydney7292]

I do the fish mixture topping on chicken! Put spinach on the bottom, then chicken, and put sour cream, mayo, and parm mix on top and all done! So yummy and keto.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Judah is a wonderful young man you are bless with Him and all your beautiful children ✝️🇺🇸🙏🏽❤️🌹🔯☮️

[@mozartstreet]

omg so excited for the vegan week! you will not regret it. i always power clean or cook during your videos, makes me feel like i have family around me ☺️

Sarah I love your recipes you are very talented you are a blessing to your family

[@idaa1999]

Great video! You should save the stems from the broccoli and use it in soups. All the receipts good great

[@carolsmith6624]

I have that same burger former. If you use burger that is very cold out of the refrigerator less sticking. Plus definitely parchment paper. The key is very cold burger not just defrosed out of the microwave. Love watching your family.

[@angelmomma1988]

Creamy salsa chicken is a kid favorite at my home. I just do chicken thighs, mild salsa and cream cheese in the crock pot and cook it for 4-6 hours. My boys like it with sour cream and cheese on a tortilla. I enjoy it with ranch, tomato and lettuce. It is always so good the next day.

[@AngelinaBadalyan]

We also add one packet of taco seasoning mix in with the chicken and salsa and it’s delicious! Can be made into chicken tacos, nachos, burritos etc! ❤️

[@gemmaleighmarsland8600]

Seth is just a mini solo 😂

Hi from ND, with the Hamburger press, cut waxed paper into squares, 1 for bottom 1 for top , it will work better. Hope it helps. Love your Channel.❤️👍🏻

[@claudiamartin776]

Hi Sarah love all your videos you really inspired me in so many ways I have been meal prepping for a little while now just four people but it has saved me a great deal of time so thankyou when I first messaged you I told you I started reading the bible again now have gone back to church again trough you inspiration I thank our Lord each day for finding you and your beautiful family sending lots of love and prayers and blessings to you all 🥰🇦🇺

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!❤️❤️❤️

[@aprilsmith4333]

Another one! Yay!

[@delindawilliams3935]

I too love salads,it's the easiest thing ever. I do a loaded salad(adding whatever you love)in it,it's very filling.

[@ninaosborne2004]

Judah...grate some onions, tomatoes, Worcestershire sause, salt , pepper, garlic and the secret ingredient dryed bread crumbs. Kneed it like dough it will bind the ground beef and make perfect pressed burgers...if you have spice for mince where you live...add that in aswell before you kneed or mix.

[@whitney2042]

Yes! Bread crumbs and/or an egg will keep them from falling apart.

[@thenestingplace357]

Ground flax seed will too. I don’t like bread crumbs in my hamburger patties. Changed the texture for me. I use egg and flax. Plus Montreal Steak seasoning that I get at Sams. Would love onion in it but picky kids .

[@cindygallo1285]

My mom always said buy good Hamburg and don’t play with it too much. Don’t add anything but salt and pepper

[@marybrown5904]

With all that added why not just make a meatloaf and stick it on a bun.

[@kathyf5549]

@@thenestingplace357, YES! Montreal Steak Seasoning is FABULOUS!

[@nancyvanderbilt2782]

Judah is so sweet!

[@TubbsOfLove]

I’ll have to try the parm with the mayo on fish. We really love mayo and dill on salmon.

[@NJPeach2004]

Chicken tacos in my house: chicken, ranch packet, taco seasoning, onion, peppers, and chicken broth. So so good!

[@OneOfADozen]

That sounds amazing!

[@Maddie-ou1kk]

Never added the ranch packet will try

[@audreykuczka4081]

YES TO THE RANCH PACKET!! I add a tablespoon or two of hidden valley ranch seasoning to almost every crockpot meal I make.. it just seasons it so well and doesnt even taste ranch-y to me... and I typically omit the salt and then just salt to taste at the end if it needs it.

[@pattymayocakes]

Sounds good, but taco seasoning plus a ranch packet is a TON of salt - if you use the name brand packets that's over 4,400mg of sodium!!!

[@OurTribeofMany]

Yum!

[@sherylintheraw]

🤔🤔 adding the burger express and patty papers to my cart. It gave me several burger meal ideas👌

[@feliciaalbanese3338]

Shred your broccoli stems. Omg love the stem!!

[@rachelsherman3576]

I love that burger press! As you saw it works incredibly well. It definitely works a bit better if you use parchment or butcher paper squares as you read. Not sure if you make ahead and freeze them, but I would do this and just keep the butcher squares on the top and bottom to help separate out however many I needed once they were already frozen. Great work, Judah! You'll get the hang of it. (I think I bought the burger squares off of Amazon, was a lot easier and cheaper than using my own parchment and chopping it up.)

[@racheldehaan2760]

Ty for the great ideas

[@sweetly_broken_4_him567]

Loved 😍

[@danniemcdonald4903]

Great meal preps! A couple of suggestions : peel the outer layer from the broccoli stems and use the stems, sliced, in the broccoli salad or to make broccoli cheese soup. When making frozen meat ahead like that, try placing it on a rack. That way, when it thaws, the water will collect in the pan and can be discarded. Your sauce won't be as watery.

[@lindastrous5243]

Stems from broccoli are great in vegetable soup. Freeze them until you are ready to use them. Add tomatoes to the Mayo for the fish. You gave me some great ideas. All looks good.

[@nataliew2]

We have that exact hamburger press. We put wax paper down, weigh the meat and put wax paper over top, squush, wrap in foil freeze 😀

[@ReynaDaily]

Totally going to start meal prepping. Family of 4 going on 5 and it would help so much with me not wanting to eat out so much ☺️

[@amybaynard8644]

Hi Sarah. A tried and true favorite for tilapia in our house...do what you did, but use crushed salt and vinegar potato chips on top of the mayo mixture on top of the fish and bake. SO GOOD! Weird sounding, I know...but so good!

[@datboi5696]

I buy the papers for the patty press. It helps with clean-up, and the papers keep the burgers from sticking together.

[@Prissyscott]

Looks great.

[@nasaratv9859]

We had chicken tacos for dinner last night & that’s literally all we did. Just the seasoning & cheese with some teddy grams & fruit on the side.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Sounds like my kind of dinner! 😍

[@Sonja...]

What is Teddy grams

[@anneleisedredge8700]

Sonja Tregellis they are these little graham cracker cookies.... they’re terrible for you I’m sure, but they’re so good! They remind me of childhood.

[@deb446]

You have a wonderful family!

[@taylorsuszynsky3671]

Looks so yummy!

[@JonaeSciandra07]

When I make salsa chicken I put corn and black beans and a packet of taco seasoning in while I cook, too! Yum!

[@julielynn7870]

I use wax paper on my hamburger press it helps keep patties in place. I love your prep ideas!

[@PaullaWells]

I have one of those hamburger presses as well. I use a long piece of wax paper. The wax should be the part the hamburger touches. I fold the long side over the top of the burger before pressing. Makes for easy removal and cleanup. 😉

[@elizabethlane4617]

Hey Sarah! I make that same mayo/park paste and top chicken with it and then sprinkle the top with those Costco/Sams real bacon bits- everyone loves it!! Sometimes I sub non fat Greek yogurt for the mayo and no one can tell the difference. Also I grew up in the south and broccoli salad is a staple down here!!😀we always add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dressing and a pinch of sweetener and for the salad add sunflower seeds and raisins or the last time I used orange flavored cranberries from Trader Joe’s and it was delicious!!

[@amysaculla8000]

Fiesta chicken! Chicken, salsa , cream cheese, BLACK BEANS AND CORN. So yum!! Tortillas or on chips with cheese or over rice. Love your meal prep videos :)

[@sherrizanoli1398]

Sarah, my burger maker need saran wrap on both sides so the meat doesn't stick. It helps a lot

[@fundamental1020]

why bother? Can’t you make a b in fisk and smash like we used to do? I am not into using so much plastic wrap I guess. But for storing I can see the value of this!

[@dsblair1167]

Maybe try adding the salsa and cream cheese after the chicken has cooked. Love these food prep visits.

[@chanicec3023]

Hi Sarah! You can try putting some taco seasoning in the pot with the frozen chicken and salsa. Try to get a salt free version, but if that’s not available, some simple spices will create the same effect: 2 tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tbsp paprika (smoked is the best to me personally), cayenne pepper is optional, S and P to taste! I would personally add the sour cream after the chicken is cooked and shredded. PS, been watching you for years, and love to see your channel and family growing! 💕

[@lisah126]

If you put an egg or 2 in your ground beef the burgers will form alot better.

[@EkAks]

lisah126 or, a little breadcrumbs will be good too.

[@lisah126]

@@EkAks for mine I do an egg, a little breadcrumb and a little milk. But when I used to do just an egg it still worked great.

[@EkAks]

lisah126 Yeah, whatever that works is good.

[@Randilynn66]

Eggs and bread crumbs make meatloaf.

[@EkAks]

Randi MacDonald you’re right. Meatloaf has more seasonings and vegetables added.

[@justpassinthru]

I use a dollar tree hamburger press.... No issues and it's in pieces so you can pick up the mold and drop on the plate

[@christeenprice4428]

Everything looks so yummy thanks so much

[@sandyfireoved6959]

Judah, if you want to make quarter pound burgers. Put a quarter pound of meat in the press. Figure out how many pounds you’ll need to feed your family then divide buy four. Use wax paper on the top too. Good luck!

[@RAULREYNOLDSDRAWING]

Sara I think Judah needed to put one egg and some breadcumbs in the meat before making the burgers. The meat is loosen´d when not putting a egg. Have a nice day.

[@deilirangel7648]

Started watching when you first started 🤓 Every time I come on I see your follower numbers has gone up and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS! Love watching you. Thanks for sharing.

[@janiceraastad7992]

I found you through the Miller family from Nashville on their recent stop on the way to Utah. I have been catching up on your shows since. I just wanted to suggest that the next time you make your broccoli salad try it with sunflower seeds and dried cranberries it is amazing.

[@aprilheadley6271]

I've been making your mayonnaise and cheese mixture with various herbs and slapping it on chicken to go in the oven. Topping it with breadcrumbs before it goes in adds an awesome texture.

[@frugaled5187]

Great video and great meal prep ideas. Love your channel! ❤ I don't think that hamburger press is going to save you time or money lol...poor Judah 😅

[@tiffanycargile155]

I notice you make your broccoli salad often. One thing you may want to try is using a food processor to chop up those stem pieces that are your scrap pile you always have left over to make a broccoli slaw or salad as well. It is really delicious and a great way not to waste. I get the same bags out at Sam's. I use the chopped up processed broccoli in a salad *trimmings from 2 bags) we add 1-3 Large Quartered tomatoes or about 1 Cup Cherry or Grape Tomato 1-2 large chopped green apples , 1/4 C dried cranberry, and a bag of super fine or angel hair shredded coleslaw cabbage mix.. I add in a handful of extra shredded carrots if the mix did not have enough. Then we dress it either depending on our mood...we have 2 go to dressings...creamy curry dressing or a tangy sour dressing. Our sour dressing make is 1/4 C horseradish, brown, or Dijon mustard (your preference), 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar, Cilantro (Optional), and 1/3 C Olive Oil all combined...the creamy is 1 C Mayo or Vegan Mayo (your preference), 1T- 2T (your favorite) Curry Powder or Paste, 1/8 (each) tsp ground garam masala & cardamom (optional but the flavor that makes our's unique), 2T Lemon Juice, 2T Dijon Mustard ... Mix dressing ahead of time and dress salad no 1- 2 hours before serving I always eyeball everything but these are guesses about the amounts I use on most everything, in case anyone wants to try this or any variation of it. We have actually added cooked, grilled chicken to the curry version and made chicken salad out of it for a light summer time dinner before too. If you are curried chicken salad fans, it will be a hit.

[@priscillayarger6319]

I do the mayo/Parmesan mix often but I add mustard. So good!

[@MySonsMother]

[@wtmw15]

Oh man. Salsa chicken!!! I make mine in the crockpot as I don’t have a pressure cooker, but I’m sure you can adapt it easily. Throw a couple chicken breasts, can of fire roasted corn, can of black beans, 24oz jar any salsa (or more or less depending on your preference), can add a can of fire roasted tomatoes or a cut onion if you want. Cook on high 4 hours or low 6. Shred the chicken. Add a block of cream cheese until softened. I eat mine with a spoon and too either shredded cheese and diced avocado, but can fill tortillas, mix with rice, eat with tortilla chips, etc. so good!
