Meal Prepping 5 SIMPLE Dinners for our Large Family

[@sweetplove1795]

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

[@michellematthews773]

He’s got the biggest smile.

[@FocusingOnChrist]

Put parchment on top and bottom of the burger maker. Comes out great and prevents random bits of meat from getting up inside the top. Also, some of the presses have measurements on the top adjuster so you can set it to 1/3 or 1/4 lb etc.

[@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 😂😂

[@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.

[@amandaramsay5934]

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

[@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

[@carlapraught4922]

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

[@barbarapinkston7435]

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

[@jmedina7877]

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

[@mplummer1574]

Oh Juda.......such a cute helper ❣️

[@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.

[@geraldineclark3438]

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

[@1whocs486]

Hello ..I was watching some of yalls old videos and found one when Noelle was 8 mts old lol all the kids was. So little Judah and Belle all of them so PRECIOUS... Love yalls family

[@theblendedtruth1408]

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

[@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.

[@AmericanAkitaClub]

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

[@cathydecarles7084]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@ritabrunetti381]

Great prep!! Enjoy all you made!!

[@KATIEB1989]

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

[@OurTribeofMany]

Good morning...afternoon to you!

[@anapepemartins]

Super excited for your vegan week!!!

[@danielledarlow73]

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

[@cometTells]

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

[@chantalbest5122]

Can I just say you have the most amazing radiant smile. I love your channel.

[@angelaoren1344]

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

[@stephaniemcelvain9150]

For the hamburger press use wax paper on bottom and wax on top then press down they also have pre cut papers out I seen somebody use them

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@kimberlymartyn1232]

I'm suprise the fish doesn't go bad, unless you eat it the next day, wonderful video

[@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. 💜💜💜

[@susanmassey9635]

I have had the chicken and it’s good . It’s great to have extra hands to help. Love your videos and your little ones.❤️

[@lauramilton9785]

Chicken tacos look like a hit with cream cheese.😋Thank you Sarah.Big hugs.🙏❣️

[@georgiaedwards9423]

I love to meal prep. Makes dinner so easy.

[@paulasajjad4549]

Not sure if you use or throw the broccoli stems. I use them in broccoli and Stilton cheese soup, just cook them in stock with some potatoes cubed. Blitz smooth once cooked and crumble cheese to taste in it. Season and eat.

[@margaretsofocleous8137]

That's just what was thinking of. Broccoli and stilton soup is fantastic

[@Terralynsparrow]

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

[@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.

[@kristallepeguero6095]

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

[@AjM1815]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@idaa1999]

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

[@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.

[@JonaeSciandra07]

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

[@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.

[@datboi5696]

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

[@vivianwilliams2216]

The chicken tacos look delicious! All the meal preps look great! Thanks for sharing! 😊👍💕💕💕

[@kimberlyjean2248]

This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Check out Six Sisters Stuff and Taylor Elmore for more Instant Pot recipes.

[@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.

[@nancyvanderbilt2782]

Judah is so sweet!

[@cathydecarles7084]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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! ❤️

[@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!!❤️❤️❤️

[@ronyae3652]

Thanks for the chicken tacos idea I will be doing that recipe 😋

[@karenbenson4639]

We make an artichoke chicken with equal parts mayo & parm and chopped up artichoke hearts (canned) throw it in the oven and bake...yum! We also switch off making bowls and tacos with the chicken.

[@julieharrington5644]

You can peel your Broccoli stems to expose the tender stem, chop it and add to your florets to stretch the veg. I find once peeled, the stems are sweet and add a really nice texture. :)

[@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.

[@beckyfitzhugh1844]

If you put parchment paper on the top and the bottom of the burger press it works very well. I have a burger press and I usually put the parchment paper on the top and the bottom and no sticking. 😊

[@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.

[@thenestingplace13]

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]

@@thenestingplace13, YES! Montreal Steak Seasoning is FABULOUS!

[@priscillayarger6319]

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

[@brynleighjacobson8973]

We use regular taco seasoning in our chicken for taco. We make hard and soft and sometimes nacho's. We top them with lettuce tomato green onion sour cream Mexican blend cheese and sometimes green chiles. They are delicious

[@annmittelstadt2938]

Hi Sarah, Jennifer from A Country Life has one of the hamburger makers, she gets the little white papers to put in it. They sell them too.

[@feliciaalbanese3338]

Shred your broccoli stems. Omg love the stem!!

[@cinnamongirlscafe6441]

Using plastic wrap helps with the burger press! Salsa Chicken is great we like to add the cream cheese too! Sometimes I pressure can my Mexican chicken! Great for tacos, taco bowls with rice and refried or pinto beans! Always an easy dinner!

[@LMG12468]

For chicken in the pressure cooker or the crockpot we do chicken breast, ranch packet, taco seasoning and onion. Then once it’s shredded I add a block of cream cheese and some shredded cheddar and mix it up. Then we wrap the left overs up in corn tortillas and fry them up to make taquitos for lunch the next day. Sooo good!

[@christinem.alwaysbelieve]

The burger papers help with getting the burgers off press. Plus nice to use to make patties in advance. 👍

[@sandyfireoved6959]

My mom always used a hamburger press, the old school type. When she would buy several pounds of ground chuck she would make all of the meat up and freeze it in patties. Those patties are much easier to thaw out than a big hunk of meat. She would cook the meat in various dishes. Be sure to use the wax paper.

[@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.

[@deb446]

You have a wonderful family!

[@LoriG75]

Thanks for the chicken taco idea for dinner tonight!

[@OurTribeofMany]

So easy! 🙌

[@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.

[@Peacht.official]

love the meal prep& meal ideas☺️

[@amyvallee30]

The brocoli salad dressing is great with a little apple cider vinegar added, & the fish topping is great with a little celery salt instead of regular salt as well as a little lemon juice ( we do your version for chicken tho ! )

[@dsblair1167]

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

[@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.)

[@lindacusick1156]

Make cream of broccoli soup with stems.

[@cindygreen6900]

stick the stems in the freezer till you have about 1/2 to a gallon for the awesome idea of cream of broccoli soup

[@kathygalford8922]

You can also slice the stems very thin and put them in your salad.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

That’s a fab idea! I never thought about saving them for that!

[@trierchick]

I save broccoli stems in the freezer and when I have enough I use it with broth, butter cream and seasonings for broccoli soup. Just cook and blend. Great stuff

[@eglaugali4604]

Hi love your channel. I think your family is great I think your mail preps. How do you feed 12 people with 8 pieces of fish? Did you have more than four pieces in each pan?

[@julielynn7870]

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

[@carolgoodey9550]

I use the hamburger press all the time.Use parchement paper top and bottom works a treat.

[@cjillwrite8249]

After frying tortillas shake Parmesan cheese on outside of shell it is delicious corn or flour. Also add cabbage with a cilantro greasing or Mexican Caesar dressing to top your taco so good.

[@kate-mo2yo]

Make the ground beef cold by putting it in the fridge. Colder the better. Then use a precut square wax paper on each side. Put them back in the fridge til ready to use or freeze them flat. Then you can stack them up once they are frozen and bag them up in a bread bag/similar or portion out and vacuum seal them. Works great!

[@jessicastreet2922]

[@tishharding]

When I make my chicken tacos I use tomato sauce & taco seasoning. No water or anything. So yummy! Even when I make ground beef tacos instead of water I use the tomato sauce with the taco seasoning.

[@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!

[@rubeekay7820]

Green Lentils instead of meat is our go to for tacos. Cook the lentils till tender, then add taco seasoning usually use one packet of taco seasoning for (1 cup of dried lentils) I add water to just incorporate the seasoning maybe like a quarter of cup and just cook that off in a couple minutes. Really good in burritos too.

[@coffeeandchaoswithmom]

When I do tacos, whether it be with ground beef or chicken I like to add brown rice, and sometimes even some beans. I like few ingredients and then just cheese and sour cream. Judah helps you quite a bit. Its always nice to see a boy turning into a man. And he's going to make some woman very happy. Because there are not to many who will go grocery shopping for their mom, cook and clean. Etc. Actually all of your kids are so good and so helpful to you

[@emilymanthei442]

I do one package of cream cheese and one packet of taco seasoning (about 2 tbsp) for every 2-3 large chicken breasts in the crockpot. Shred when done then fill some shell and roll in taquitos and put in baking pan, spray tops with Pam to help brown and bake on 425 until tops are crispy

[@emilymanthei442]

Also add cheese inside shells with meat!

[@jaykelly936]

All your kids play piano fabulous

[@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.
