Meal Prepping FAST for a Week! (+Small Businesses)

47 with no kids!! Always wanted a big family!!! I live thru y’all!!! Great life

[@evahusovska8694]

Tips for the spaghetti carbonara : 1) crush or cut the garlic fot better taste 2) mix the cheese and the pepper in eggs , IT blends better with spaghetti 3) wait a little bit before adding the spagetti, the eggs and cheese should make creamy sauce, not scrambled eggs :) :)

[@julie569]

All of this! Also save a little of the starchy pasta water to add at the end to help the sauce loosen up. Sometimes I add cherry tomatoes & spinach to this dish, although then it’s not a true carbonara.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thanks!!

[@vanessadb1099]

Agree. I was about to comment on these three things as well. More minced garlic more fun.

[@velbels]

You can also throw in frozen peas or sweet corn for the last few minutes cooking for the pasta as a veg.

[@susiessoapstuff1459]

Thanks y'all! I'm going to try this!

[@gracemorganspeaks]

Lovely meal prepp.Whoever is reading this i pray that God bless you beyond what you asked or expected so that you can be a blessing to others.

The same to you! Stay blessed

Thank you for that , that was very kind of you to say .

i love how Solo is such a hands on dad. Seems as though he always has one of the babies in his arms,so sweet.

I feel so productive when I watch you prep all these meals!! LOL😀😂😂😂

[@tamalam9615]

The hole is for a quarter for Aldi grocery store. Their shopping carts cost a quarter to use, then when you return your cart, you get your quarter back. So you’ll always have your quarter with you if you have that keychain! Those are pretty cool!

[@brittneyburton5365]

Thank you soo much for helping me promote my small business--BKs DOORable Designs! I hope you love your door hanger! It just felt like it'd be super fun for y'all to enjoy the summer "brightness" as y'all are hanging out at the pool! love you guys! All of these other businesses are so amazing too!!!!

[@nicolesaid8668]

Canadian fan here! 🇨🇦 I have been using your meal prep ideas for the past few months (I have 4 children). Their Dad is Tanzanian so my kids love many of solo’s dishes. Anyways I was hoping you could do a video on how you organize CHORES for the kids at your house. My four (15,11,10,4) have 2 chores every night and always do the same chores. Rotating seems to get confusing for the little ones. Would love to see how you all organize cleaning tasks for the kids at your home. Thanks!! 😊

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

Nana you are looking so well and it's lovely to see you again!🌹

[@marciejade1408]

ALL your children are so adorable, but Seth being the baby omg he is soooo darn cute!!!!

[@sarahbedalov1795]

Your family is so great! Your older kiddos are so helpful what great kids they seem to be! I’ve been inspired by you and your husband and how well you meal prep! Thanks for the great recipes and tips!

[@kimbuff469]

I love that at about the 9 minute mark your pan on top of the cabinets is "smiling" sweetly at all of us. 😁

[@lauralawson4868]

Start bacon first. Also save a couple of cups of the hot pasta water. You can add the water to help make a little sauce, and loosen the pasta up. Does take any flavor away.

[@emma8547]

I would try whisking 1/2 -1 cup of the boiling pasta water into the raw eggs before adding the pasta. With that huge volume it will help you make a creamy sauce instead of scrambled eggs :)

[@tricia8656]

@Vicktoria Lawson that's what Rachel Ray does also. Sarah you can get so many yummy ideas from Rachel Ray & in under 30 min also!!😆😆😋😋😋

[@brianamatos2607]

It’s so awesome that you are sharing these small businesses with the world! Hopefully it helps not only those businesses, but inspires people to buy from small businesses in their area too.

[@naomirg8273]

Omg!! Cute little Seth is getting so big! And he looks like a mini Solo. The whole family is such a blessing. Thanks for sharing.

[@claireisacamel]

Hahaha and Judah coming in totally right on with his cheese recommendations!

[@Gmazingg]

I add a little heavy whipping cream to the bacon so that it makes this delicious creamy sauce. Adding frozen peas helps too!

[@danachan5664]

Oh also forgot to share a taco cornbread bake! Here's my recipe for family of 4 .. 1lb of ground beef or turkey 1/2 can of black beans 1 can of corn (can also use fresh & frozen) Taco sauce.. I eyeball about 4 tablespoons Chili powder Garlic powder Onion powder Salt Pepper Cumin All seasoning is too taste. Put in a casserole dish and top with one box of cornbread mix(follow directions on box) and shredded cheese. bake with cornbread directions. Serve with sour cream!

"That's too fancy I don't know what you're talkin about" 😂😂😂 I felt that in my soul!! That is totally me! I am so basic when it comes to cheese and surprisingly vegetables....I am starting too see a little bit of Judah in Seth as he is getting older....

[@paigelevine7165]

My baby was born a month before Seth, and I love watching them go through milestones together. 😁 Its so neat!

[@kellyestes5482]

I LOVE using bags for leftovers, prepping and marinating. Food fits so much easier in the fridge. I will even take different salads to potlucks in a bag and take a dollar store bowl that I just leave. Much easier than trying to over bowl with foil or plastic wrap.

[@TheTumbleweed61]

Your family is amazing to me. Everyone helps out in some way. Most kids now days don’t want to help out with meal prep. You’re so tolerant of the noise also. Many props.

[@jodylarson]

I love that you are using your platform to highlight small business ❤️

[@kirbylewis6869]

I love that you all are supporting the small businesses. What an impact!

[@k_ndiaye2291]

Peas are fantastic in carbonara! You could also add a cup or two of pasta cooking water to make it more “saucy”. Yum.

[@YAYA-bv7po]

[@daniellequartiers8578]

I adore all your vlogs but this one right off the bat opening with Seth just checking everything out first thing out of my mouth was " Hey Seth " Such and adorable way to start my day for sure....just had to tell you :)

[@karencinorisdawkins7194]

Sarah you have a heart of gold helping all the small businesses promote their business. 💛 Also I just loved watching your mum with seth, she is a proud Nan. Thank you again for letting us into your family. 😍

[@COEXIST-ny4db]

Thank you so much for trying to help out these small businesses that are suffering so much! What an amazing thing you guys have thought of!! Once again.... you guys are the very BESTEST!!

[@angelshalosoflove]

Suggestion. Instead of making less spaghetti carbonara make a little more and then put it in the freezer for a quick meal when your schedule is tight or the day gets away from you.

[@madasahatter5514]

I think she's mentioned before that her family isn't a fan of frozen meals, the taste and texture can taste a little different. She did say she does it when preparing for a new baby though.

[@sandihassler9050]

I so love your family and this channel! I use bags all the time for storing and freezing meals and leftovers... hint... after they are full lay them out flat and push everything down flat to store or freeze. Then you can stack them and they take up even less room! Blessings!!!

[@angelicawilson2515]

It is so awesome you are spotlighting small businesses this month!!

[@jeaniegallo4693]

Your son has a great skill for cooking!! I'm impressed (as an Italian and serious home chef who loves to cook.)

Love the idea of promoting small businesses. I got some good ideas now for what to get my family and friends this year for presents. ❤

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Happy kids are well fed kids! Nice quick recipe here that I’m sure busy parents especially those with big families would highly appreciate 🙌💯😋👍

[@bonniesizemore468]

Quick easy meal for summer. Hobo stew: Take a hamburger patty, green beans, onion (cubed), potatoes (cubed) and a little chopped or cherry tomato, sprinkle with season all - double wrap each individual persons portion in aluminum foil and throw on the grill or in 375 degree oven for one hour. No pots or pans and absolutely delicious. Learned this when my boys were in cub scouts.

We had the spaghetti dish last night. We substituted the spaghetti for Ziti & Penne because it was what we had in the house. My 5 kids loved it (even though I burned the bacon)! We will definitely be adding this one into our Friday spaghetti night rotations. I’m making the veggie casserole for tonight’s dinner. Thank you for sharing!!

[@msmariac]

From an italian girl here.. all looks good for the carbonara what I do is add a little cream to the eggs and whisk in three quarters of the cheese in the egg creme mixture with salt black pepper and some chilli flakes then add this to the pasta along with the bacon but keep a little pasta water to add to the pasta to make it a bit creamier not so dry .. top with the remaining cheese ..

[@teresacelmins3681]

[@lindaarnold3091]

I use the zip top bags to store leftovers all the time. It takes a lot less room and you can flatten the contents to remove the air to stack it on the shelf. Really great after Thanksgiving and large parties! Enjoy your videos. Love you and your family !

[@danachan5664]

Hi Sarah! Quick and easy hawaiian sliders in the crock pot express. Can also use instapot or a regular crockpot. For every 2lbs of chicken breast use one jar of bbq sauce and one can of crushed pineapples in juice! Only took 13 min in the express crockpot!. Serve with slider buns and Cole slaw

You made my son giggle uncontrollably when you said your camera took a swim 🤦🏼😁😂 I laughed when you listed the foods y'all like and Belle said "I like a cheeseburger" and your face was great when your response was "we like all foods" 😂😂😂 The hole in the keychain may be for a chapstick. I couldn't tell if the hole was a pouch or just a hole, but if it's a pouch my guess is for chapstick.

[@margaretsofocleous8137]

I always drain the fat off the bacon and often use milk in the carbonara sauce instead of cream . The tip with the pasta water is good. You could also use strained yoghurt if it is not to tart or soured cream. Nice meal prep Sarah. So great to have your mamma and your grandma is so precious. Just cherish them while they are still with you as I am sure you do. Great meal prep video Sarah. Xxxxxxx Margaret in Cyprus

[@GwenDeeful]

Amazing meal prep. Loved the easy recipes.

[@crohr4]

Try adding scallions, green beans, basil and fresh tomatoes! At 23 I had my own chickens and a garden and a pasta maker. I had raw milk delivered and used the cream off the top. This was one dish I could make with only buying bacon and semolina flour. You can use leftovers for breakfast by adding more eggs.

[@theresas709]

Bacon is so much easier to cut when it is frozen. I think your son is going to be the chef of the family. He really knows his stuff:) If you smash your garlic first you will get a better flavor. We have been doing pesto fish on Fridays. Just put pesto over your Tilapia and you cut in half cherry tomatoes and throw in oven.

HEY TRIBE. I love watching your meal prepping. I always make more of whatever I am making and freeze in one portion containers for a quick grab night. So you can take a date night and kids can look for one containers and have options like you do if you go to a restaurant. We make around 20 a month and sometimes it is nice to cook something for one or two people. Also casseroles freeze well.

Make some chicken enchiladas. Just shred chicken, add it to a tortilla rolled them into rolled taquitos. Make 3 per person and lay them on a pan pour green sauce over them cheese and a few diced tomatoes. Warm them until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Plate them with shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream. Delicious and your family will be satisfied.
