Feeding a crowd EVERY NIGHT

[@vjohnson2400]

Love listening to Luka playing the piano, he’s so accomplished. Peace is just adorable.

When we take food we go to Costco and either buy 10 different pizzas, bagged salad, dessert. Pizza leftover hot or cold is always good. Sometimes I buy the papa Murphy take and bake that way they can heat them whenever they choose. When my grandfather passed all of us adult cousins ditched the elders and company (after saying hello) took 4 pizzas that someone brought and sat in an upstairs bedroom all over watched a tiny tv and visited about 10 of us adults and a couple of our kids. That was our best memories of a time of loss. So that is why I alway do pizzas!

[@Laura-fv1oe1]

I'd like to say thank you for the vegetarian Mexican casserole recipe! I'm a single childless woman (so lifestyle couldn't be more different) but it still works great for me because it freezes well in meal prep containers and I just bring it to the office for lunch. Unbelievably cheap, easy, tasty, and reasonably healthy.

[@mylittleshares]

Wow, Luka on the piano... Taking the place of Judah's performances... So awesome! You and your family are so blessed; I just love the positive energy in your home.

[@zitagonos4588]

Peace has gotten so big. Beautiful children you guys have.....

[@annswann1941]

Cooking is definitely Jamerrill’s gift. When people are in need of a meal I don’t think they’re too picky. Their minds are on grieving a loss or celebrating a baby and they just need sustenance. Baked spaghetti in any form, chicken/broccoli/rice casserole, veggie soup, beef stew, beef or chicken chili … I have a lot of ‘go to’ meals. I always send jello or cookies and I put things in dishes that don’t need to be returned.

[@jenniferweaver2255]

When our daughter died in January, we were so grateful for the meals our church family and friends brought. It's so hard to think about food when you're planning a funeral. I'm sure that your friends loved the Cottage pie. I'm proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone.

[@breyonogle6719]

So sorry for your loss 💜

[@MyArnette]

Admire all you do💐 This is so off subject, sorry. I purchased Kericho Gold so good so very SMOOTH! Good job Kenya! I usually purchase another smooth brand this is actually smoother a very nice Tea. I am wondering about Kenya coffee my husband likes it a lot! However we have to be cautious blood pressure, pastor Solo in the brand you enjoy, is DECAF available ? My hubby is a coffee fanatic🤓Thank you so much for all you do.

[@RAM-eb2te]

When I was younger and able, I always tried to keep several casseroles (tator tot, baked spaghetti, cottage pie, Alfredo pasta) in freezer for emergencies (ours or another family in need). The tator tot casserole was generally what was chosen by others when given an option.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Great ideas!

[@vickiemouse2359]

When all of the children are playing and talking or playing piano, it is truly a Joyful Noise🌸♥️

[@gillianmuspic2337]

one of the things I love about your family is that your children all smile so much. Especially when the little ones do it

[@marias8007]

aww Judah showing up for dinner at the family home, like a real grownup.. can't believe i've been watching since all the kids were so young, now some are grown young adults

[@katerrac9247]

Longtime subscriber here and you've never cooked a single meal in all these years that I wouldn't LOVE to receive! All your food looks amazing and i know it is a blessing to all who receive it.

[@paulineclarke5388]

Luka is amazing on the piano and Peace is growing so quickly, I think that we all worry that our food isn’t as good as we think it is ❤

[@shelleylee8774]

Luka is amazing on the piano! LOVE the 'what's for dinner today'! Gives me lots of ideas. Thanks!

[@suesmith817]

I could listen to you children play the piano all day.. so much talent in your family.. Lasagna is a great shareable meal …

[@joanntessel1026]

Sarah, I’m a Christian living in New York n enjoy yur kind giving ❤️! We may never meet in this life but maybe we knew each other n were friends in heaven, u never know until we meet one day! God bless 😇

[@abbya1995]

We take breakfast food like baked oatmeal, blueberry coffeecake, or something they want. People always get casseroles or potpies so we decided to start doing breakfast that can easily be reheated and eaten over multiple days.

[@adelsjourney]

Luka's playing is so beautiful ❤️❤️

[@denisewiebrimmer454]

I love when your child is playing the piano in the background. He plays wonderfully. I just love your videos.

[@zoe0abundant]

I've already commented twice, but I have to say, Peace wanting more potatoes from Dad was the cutest!

[@bonniemullen4990]

Wasn't she just so darling 😊❤

[@guestguest747]

Oh my goodness! I giggled out loud. That smile is a show-stopper!

[@melaniefisher8823]

Luka, I need you to make me an hour long video of your piano playing so I can listen to it while I clean. You are just BLESSED, I could watch you play all day!!

[@leem200]

She is so cute I could gobble her up. Her smile glows and her eyes. Just love babies. She is the sweetest.

[@stephaniepreston4335]

For the trays if you cook just the dough for a few minutes it helps keep it from getting soggy.

[@KWilliams106]

Truth

[@lorriebell7997]

Will work

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lightovercomesdarkness8707]

Also , use a fork and poke your dough all over. The order of your toppings makes a difference, sauce then most of your cheese then toppings large to small and a little more cheese.

[@Zorro-5515]

🇨🇦Any aluminum pan with holes in it and a skim of oil and dusting of cornmeal/semolina and you'll have a crispy crust every time. Can't beat the price and taste of home made pizza.

[@ellenrik]

Scalloped potatoes and ham = always loved by everyone and easy to make!!

[@sherij7330]

Wonderful listening to Luka on the piano! So talented~

[@ccj3355]

I can't believe how Noel has grown. She is a beauty.

[@marz9lu104]

I GET IT, ... overthinking what to make for others,...when really people are just thankful & appreciate the help.

[@mtbyam]

Thinking back to the meals people brought me post baby, and we were grateful for every single one of them. Even the take and bake pizza with bagged salad was perfect. The best was a roasted chicken and veggies a friend brought since it was nice to eat something a bit "healthier" after a few casseroles. Also one friend sent over a bag of snacks and easy kids snacks and meals like easy mac. It was really nice to have something simple to feed my oldest.

[@sgiang]

Substituting some of the ground beef in the cottage pie with home cooked or canned lentils (brown or green) would be an easy substitution to decrease the amount of meat and lower the cost without losing the protein content. I do a 50/50 mix with ground meat and lentils for Ragu with great results as lentils don't have much flavour on their own and the texture isn't disruptive to the ground meat texture either

[@dawnagiron2192]

I've always used bottom drawers in the for toys or the butter , sour cream, cool whip lids, plastic serving spoons, little plastic bowls and things like that for the children to play kitchen. It's been a win win from my children down to the grandchildren.

[@angelaame6148]

If all parents raised their children this way, with love and structure and gentle discipline this world would be a different place... A much better place, children are meant to be raised by 2 parents, 2 parents that work together.. Without toxic dysfunction, no violence... These children will go on to be great!!!!

[@SB-kg2is]

Perfectly stated, I could not agree more! If only the world could see the love they show one another, it’s beautiful!

[@PraymoreMinistries]

Who said their discipline is gentle? Did you know that in order to get families to work together and obey it takes real discipline? Discipline for all involved. That house would be a mad house if they didn't have strict rules and schedules.

[@PraymoreMinistries]

.. Also we can't deny God's presence here. Families like this cannot function without submission to God.

[@angelaame6148]

@@PraymoreMinistries I raised 4 strong, productive son's... All in the military, I don't need your opinion on what it takes to raise a child. Nor your opinion on God, discipline or submission.. Whatever works for you Sir!!!!!

[@Borderlinegoldenretriever]

Not everyone has the possibility to raise their children with 2 parents Single moms do their best to raise their children the right way with just one parent. Unfortunately life doesn’t always work the way we planned it.

[@leahrenata4820]

Our friends made us a pasta dish. It had spiral pasta, cherry tomatoes, and ground sausage and a red sauce and cheese. Idk what the recipe was but it was great! Easy to put in a foil casserole dish and reheat in the oven.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Sounds great!

[@FLIPPINFABULOUSFINDS]

I watch Jamerrill too! You are ranked right there with her in my opinion! Don't second guess yourself, you have been cooking for your crowd for a very long time and they all love it. Peace and the mashed potatoes was adorable especially when she held out her hand and wanted more!! Chicken Turkey or Beef pot pies are a wonderful dinner idea for a family and a wonderful winter meal also a good hearty stew either beef or vegetable with some of your homemade bread. Also I have made baked spaghetti along with garlic bread. I have also made a ham potatoe broccoli and cheese casserole. I always seem to end up going with a casserole or soup with bread and a salad is a great choice. You and Solo are an amazing team and seem to really balance each other out all around with cooking, work, home, children and ministry work!!

[@emilygardner]

As a 20-something, it's really encouraging to know that you still get insecure cooking for others after your experience as a pastor and hostess and mother. You are so amazing at hosting. I would never have guessed you had some doubts. I'm sure the meal was very appreciated!

[@Peg06]

It seems like Peace started walking one day and was zooming around all over the place the next! (I'm sure Seth helped with that last part.) Sarah, you already know the sort of food to take in a bereavement: anything that can easily be reheated. Plus something sweet. If you have a great recipe for Red Velvet cake, you're golden. A completely decadent pound cake works, too. You're not trying for something healthy, you're trying for something so good it momentarily takes their minds off the fact that they've lost a loved one and their lives are changed because of it. Honey, that calls for sugar and butter and lots of it.

[@tammylawrence495]

Perfectly spoken. Comfort during grieving is so needed.

[@dreamarichards4972]

Love watching your amazing dinners! Wonderful sweet family! Great and beautiful job on the piano, Luka!! Peace is so adorable! All your family is so sweet and beautiful! I can’t say enough! May God bless you all always! 🙏🏻💝💝

[@neemad]

I do enjoy these "what you eat" videos a lot. Luka's playing is so good and his nod of satisfaction at the end was amazing :) Peace's smile at the end made me smile really big❤

[@michelledunn1715]

So much talent in your family.

[@bethanyurbanek7437]

Meals are such a great way to minister to people! My church always does a meal train for people when there is a birth, a death, a surgery, or some other huge life event. Over the course of 11 years with 5 births I can think of very few meals we didn't like. Food is food! If you are hesitant about it, I would suggest something like taco fixings - everyone can make their own and not worry about putting on things they don't like! One of my favorite meals to have received over the years 😁

[@lisayoungblood5603]

I love hearing to kids play the piano 😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@erinbroderick2819]

You have nothing to worry about when feeding anyone. I love when anyone else cooks.

[@kelleer]

When it comes to making meals for those going through things, I dont think it matters what you make. The fact you are thinking of them and making them something is the best gift. I like to make a double batch of what ever and freeze one for them to have later. You have such a huge heart for others.

[@OurTribeofMany]

That's so true!

[@ourtribbletribe]

That's a great idea! We sometimes send a breakfast casserole for the following morning. And I think you're right, it's the thought that means more anyway.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

The Sheperds Pie was perfect Sarah! I've taken lunch meat tray, cheese tray, condiments, rolls to a family. I made a cinnamon coffee cake to take a family with small tub of butter. My Husband made 3 large pizzas, medium bread sticks with cheese, marinara sauce, large salad ranch dressing & 2-2 litre sodas to take to my friends. When Mom died in Pennsylvania, a neighbor made us blueberry muffins, a neighbor brought Dad a huge beef roast. In Virginia, when Moms funeral was over, instead of everyone coming to the house, the Church here in Virginia had the family go to the fellowship hall, the people prepared all kinds of delicious foods. Anyone could come after the funeral to eat & be with the family. Everyone cleaned up & took their dishes home with them. I think that's nice & easier on the family. I try to get disposable pans when I can.

[@hollyalbers]

Yes! Keep the “What’s for dinner” videos coming! I love to bless people with food - I usually do lasagna or chicken soup with homemade bread.

[@kimkennedy1014]

I could listen to Luka or Juda play piano all the time the song Luka was playing at the end reminded me of my Grandmother and how she used to play the piano when we were young and would Dance around. So thank you for a happy memory to pop in

[@lindamcauley4728]

You're amazing. Don't worry about cooking ability, you're obviously doing a great job. Jamerrill is good too but remember, she has a whole team of people in the background helping her!

[@lisachatham8690]

When I make meals for friends I fall back on traditional favorites, spaghetti, lasagna, beef stew soups of any kind. Most of the time you are safe with those, sometimes soups are tough to transport, but people do love them especially this time of year.

[@justjen3216]

You guys are amazing parents!! Your children so well behaved and I'm always mesmerized when I see them play piano!! Just amazing

[@stephaniecrowder4940]

Hi Sarah, we have been living in two houses as well. My husband is serving as interim pastor at a church in Blacksburg VA. We have moved our necessities into the parsonage, but not completely moved until the time we are moved from interim to Pastor. That should be in August. Last August the board made him the offer as interim and said it would be for a year. It is hard going between 2 homes. We did finally move my office and that has been a huge blessing. Not as much traveling to and fro.

[@Stacey_95]

When my daughter was sick and we were at the hospital all the time people often brought us enchiladas. I’m originally from New York and it’s common for people to bring stuffed shells or baked ziti. Colorado’s thing seems to be either beef or chicken enchiladas. We were so appreciative of anything it was honestly a sanity saver for me. I think cottage pie was a great idea!

[@kristivandenberg6339]

For the shepherd's pie, I sometimes use half sausage to save cost of meat and is more flavorful. Other meals I have taken families are chicken and dumpling, beef stew, chili and beef vegetable soup.

[@RowenMyBoat]

I’ve also used half hamburger, half ground turkey, if turkey is cheaper. I also try to stretch things…making 6 casseroles, make 4 servings of the meat mixture, then decide it amongst the six. If you can add anything veggie to stretch it a little, if it got mashed potatoes on top, make one or two extra batches and spread it amongst the six. You wouldn’t hear me complain about more mashed potatoes!

I admire how well you eat with so many kids.

I’m Portuguese and even after we moved to the US my mother made Portuguese food. I learned to make American food as an adult but my daughter became vegetarian at 6 so I don’t cook meat much.

[@annapower9799]

Lasagna is my go to meal to bring to friends. Love your videos!!

[@nancywidener2157]

I have two "go to" meals that I resort to when making a meal for someone else. The first one is called "Farmhouse chicken". I got it off of someones personal website that does not exist anymore. I can email it to you if you would like...but in a nutshell, it is chicken pot pie filling with prepared stuffing mix spread over the top and baked. It is delicious. The second is just your basic mild chili con carne casserole (just put the chili in a 13x9 dish...make sure it's not too liquidy), with cheese and green onions on top....with a big pan of corn bread. They are both simple and people usually love it. Occasionally, I will make the chili casserole without the beans, depending upon the likes and dislikes of the family I'm making it for. I love to watch your chaos....makes me feel better about mine!!

[@OurTribeofMany]

Yum!

[@JustBethTrying]

10:58 When it comes to taking food to grieving families, I can assure you that they won’t remember what you took, but they will remember you showed up. I am an older single woman so I don’t cook much. My go to “meal” to take to folks is orthodox, but folks seem happy when it arrives. I take a variety of milkshakes from Cookout. Sometimes it is hard to eat when you are grieving, but a milkshake is something most people can manage. I also take toilet paper, tissues, hand soap , and paper towels . If young children are there, I might take bubbles and a ball so the children can get outside and play.

[@LyrinLoreweaver]

I am from Louisiana but have lived outside of the south for several years. Whenever I bring other people meals, I always bring seafood gumbo. Like you, I used to be worried that other people wouldn’t like it since it is traditionally Cajun and a little bit of a unique flavor/texture. But almost every single time, people compliment it and are grateful. All that to say that you shouldn’t overthink whether people will enjoy your gifted meals. In my experience, the receiver is thankful for the gift and the opportunity to try something new and different.
