Prepping 5 Simple Meals

Butter Chicken
12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut up
3 cups heavy cream
3 cups tomato sauce
1 onion chopped
10 tbsp butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp chopped ginger
3 tsp chili powder
3 tsp cumin
2 tbsp garam masala
Saute the onion and chicken in butter in the instant pot. Add all other ingredients and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. We added fresh spinach at the end! We like it on brown rice.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fish Curry
3 pounds fish fillets (tilapia, cod, etc.)
2 16 oz. bags mixed frozen vegetables
1 large can crushed tomatoes
2 14 oz. cans coconut milk
1 heaping tbsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
Place fish in the bottom of the slow cooker, top with frozen vegetables. Mix all other ingredients together and pour over the fish and vegetables. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Mix together to break fish up. We like it on brown rice!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Quiche
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
4 eggs
8 ounces cheese (we like mozzarella or pepper jack for spice)
About 4 cups frozen spinach squeezed out to dry as much as possible
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
Pre-made crust
Mix all ingredients together and pour into a pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes with foil on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes without the foil. We love this one topped with hot sauce! Well... most of us. Also, we quadruple this one and usually have leftovers which heat up so well in the microwave for quick breakfasts!

Your boys are great chefs, very unusual for boys their age. You and Solo are doing such good work as parents. As I have commented before your tribe will be outstanding adults.

[@C33WYF]

Definitely raised right! Love this family.

[@stacyt9452]

This might be one of my favorite videos of yours. This was so real. Your dental issues, your kids fighting, instapot dirty, forgetting what your trying to say, solo saying something inappropriate! Everything was great!

[@rawdawg5943]

Lol solo was trying to make another baby 😂😂

It really was

Yay two of my boys were fighting, so now I have two helpers.. lol.. nearly lost my sip of coffee on that one!! You guys are awesome!!

You can just see the love and admiration of you all over his face!! And yours too!!! Super special to witness!! Enjoy your week!

[@Healedhomegirl]

I love how you have the children involved in the cooking and cleaning. These are skills that are just as valuable as traditional education IMO. Good job Sarah and solo

[@barbaralent5559]

Love how Solo is hands on with every thing your so lucky Sarah. Im impressed to see your boys helping in the kitchen as well as the girls its so important for boys to be able to feed themselves and not depend on take out. Both my boys, grown up now, can cook thank goodness. I make a crustless Quiche, called Shaky Quiche, it all goes in a Lock n Lock, you shake, then pour into quiche dish it never fails and so quick and its so easy. Love fish curry was taught this when I lived in Fiji for a while. Great video thank you for bringing us into your home.

[@joytoyouandme4593]

This all looks so good! Can’t wait to try the butter chicken recipe! Sara- Did you know if you cook your beans in the instant pot they don’t need to be soaked? I made a white bean soup last week with a ham bone. Started by sautéing onion and celery in the bottom of the IP in a little oil (I use Avocado oil) then added garlic and sautéed a little more. Then pop the ham bone in, salt, pepper, dry parsley, garlic powder and dry mustard to taste. Add water. Pressure cook for 90 minutes. Allow to natural release (approx 20 min) 3/4 c. Chopped onion 3/4 Chopped celery 1 T minced garlic 1/4 c oil Ham bone with meat on it Additional cubed ham (optional) 3/4 c chopped carrots (optional) 16 oz dried navy beans 1 t salt 1t pepper 1T garlic powder 1/4 c dried parsley flakes 1 t dried mustard 8 C water This was honestly some of the best soup ever- With no soaking beans. I didn’t believe it at first, but beans were thoroughly cooked.

[@desertbluecatnm]

Chef Sarah, supervising and directing her kitchen staff! Your kids are learning an essential life skill and making memories. My parents have passed away, and I often think of them while cooking family favorites. 💗

[@alisonu8550]

I love these videos. We are only a family of 3, but I still use your recipes. They are so simple.

[@barbaraharris1527]

I love to watch these videos, I like the meal prepping how it's done. Sarah is funny I love listening to her. You have a great 👪 family

[@tinapierce730]

Love it ! "Any creeps out there !!"

[@stephaniechavez9422]

instead of tv dinners i used to make my own. a full meal that you just microwave. when my kids were in school and i was working full time , as a single parent, they are good and no mess. i used to use my weekends to prepare them. i did this for a neighbor who was elderly and had surgery. she wasn't eating the meals on wheels so i made her my homemade tv dinners. she loved it of course as it wasn't a premade precook food.

[@beckykileteny3078]

Love the kitchen romance! 😉😍❤️ real life; real love! it’s such a blessing that you have that help!

[@alyssamariemiller1607]

I love how Solo looks at you. So much love in his eyes

[@sandpebble54spencer63]

Perfect teamwork! Thanks Belle! Everyone on kitchen duty did awesome! You got off easy, Sarah, but coordinating counts! You need a marstro’s baton to set it all to music! Your meals look like winners and boy do I ever need to get some prepping done! I saw another poster uses Carrie A Elle’s pronto outs fir meal preps and it’s a one time $5 to get so many helpful sheets you can print out if not using the computer. Freezer , pantry, fridge inventories, spice inventory. Shopping list, menus, preps. Good stuff! Congrats on this prepping!

[@MissCarolineN]

You're amazing and so patient with all the chaos. I love watching your videos and especially your meal preps.

[@darlenecard8522]

Sarah..lord JESUS I don't know how you do it ALL...I would go CRAZY PREP COOKING ALL THOSE MEALS! 2 THUMBS UP FOR YOU!👍👍

[@haileyborn5511]

This is probably one of my favorite videos you've ever posted!

[@brendastephens5893]

I meal prep weekly, yet shop once a month. What I do to is set up my immediate weeks foods in baskets as I empty the bags, then I set those in the fridge for each meal until I am ready to cook. For meals that will go in the freezer for the next few weeks, I break down any meats and place all ingredients that can be frozen in baskets or ziplocks, label and freeze. I pull all the baskets/ziplocks out on Thursday, place in fridge to start defrosting, the Saturdays are my prep days and baking days. I have been doing this since my kids were little, now grown adults. Once you get into a rhythm that works for you, things get easier and faster! I am enjoying your posts.

[@srsblosser13]

I admire your patience. I know life can be stressful and you don't have a perfect family but you can tell that there is a lot of love. Thank you for allowing us to peak into your life. Many blessings!

[@melandrew9402]

I just love your family!!! So sweet and your kids are amazing. We are a family of 7 so I enjoy the ideas!

[@Izzyangulo]

You should make a cook book with all the meals u do but with smaller portions, I always want to try out what u make but I don't need that much quiet yet lol. Thanks for the inspiration! Your channel has not only motivated to meal prep but to plan way ahead of time! Solo is so right. It does save time, insanity and money

[@amyrivers9381]

I like how your boys helped even though it was because they were fighting they didn't have a bad attitude (away from the camera at least). Your parenting skills have produced such lovely children. God has selected both you and Solo to represent him here on Earth onKZbin and then he blessed a lot of us by showing us where your channel is. I don't have any children due to illness but I used to dream about having a family of my own. Watching your channel helps me to feel apart of the world and your KZbin family. Bless you all, as always you are in my thoughts and prayers. Xx

Also the eye and nose issue since the dentist could be because they worked on a tooth that’s roots are attached or beside to your sinus. This happened to me when they worked on a tooth that’s roots were touching my sinus

[@francesca9263]

When i jad my wisdom tooth pulled my ear literally popped and i never had an earache nor ear infection and i was in my 30's when i had this done so yes there's a connection.

[@jackiewilson925]

My two boys started to help cooking and learning how to clean at early ages and now they both married men that have very happy wives because they help out in everything and their wives are always thanking me for raising such hands on sufficient men.❤️

[@OurTribeofMany]

Yes...we are training men and women for their future families!

[@fadingdandelion4792]

Watching some of the older videos again when is Solo's mom coming back to visit. Fun to watch everyone visit and cook☺👍

[@kimnisley2563]

Even though you show us how you do so much, I still don’t know how you do it. I prep dishes ahead of time too. I think getting the meat cooked ahead of time saves so much time. I’m never sure what I want and when. There are nights I just have cheese and crackers or a bowl of cereal. Being one person, I can do that. I so enjoy your channel and watching everyone pitching in. You all have a wonderful week.

[@lizaw.7313]

I love Micah standing there waiting for his instructions, they are so sweet, even if they were fighting😁

[@LoveTheColorOrange]

You still look beautiful ⚘ I think it's awesome that all of your children learn how to cook!!! God bless you all 🙏🏽

[@Sevenforrests]

This is so smart. I did some meal prep for my husband's last hospital stay (children still have to eat 😉) and it was a HUGE help.

[@Nonea350]

I love how you turned the boys fight into something that is more productive! Very fine parenting and they are very good chefs!

[@carolvandermeulen7208]

You are my best people, Solo always setting a good example for the boys, always an inspiration to me Sarah and your family, have learnt a lot from you guys. I can never miss any of your videos.

[@conniewilliams3644]

Love the family working together in the kitchen! I’ve never heard of garam masala. It’s just me and my hubby, but I love having meals prepped. Even if it’s browning meat, dividing large packs of meat into meals, cooking for the freezer or making large batches and freezing half. Love your videos and family! ❤️

[@karennoe3015]

Wow I wish I had your inspiration back when my children were small. It really would have helped me. But I am taking all of your ideas and using them and sharing them. Thanks for your time, tips, & joy!❤

[@angelahoffman5495]

Yes to the ground beef!!! I cook up a bunch all at once and freeze it and I pull it out and heat it up and have tacos, spaghetti, casserole or chili in no time!! Also I chop up a ton of chicken at once and freeze it so it thaws faster and I just dump it in my pan. I love the idea of adding spinach to butter chicken. I just started making it and we love spinach here! Happy to see the meal planning. I am starting t o do that more and I enjoy the new ideas

If you ever forget to thaw your cheese and it's stuck in a blob/block like that just run it over your cheese grater! It works like a charm! That's my go to when I forget to thaw my cheese even though it's already shredded it definitely saves time on waiting on those oopsie days where you forgot to take it out in time!

[@kridder1018]

I love these videos. Even as the parent of one, meal prep can be a must. As a tip, i keep a rubber mallet in the kitchen that i use to "defrost" cheese, and it works to tenderize meat too! The roast sounds sooo good right now. It is cold here in MN, so warm meals like that are always welcome. I love leftovers of roast shredded and made into bbq beef. Love your family! Thank you for all the recipes and inspiration.

[@HappyTogetherFamilieVloggers]

Man you guys are amazing parents and amazing people. I say this because your kids are such blessings. They all have such caring, loving, and beautiful spirits. They help all the time with no problem. Whether it’s with the little ones, or cooking, or whatever it is you guys need help with. It touches me to see just how well rounded they are. You both are raising some awesome kids and even with the chaos you guys manage to maintain a very calm attitude. You both should be so proud at the parents you turned out to be. It shows in your children. It’s truly admirable and inspires me to be more present and calm with my children. So thank you. 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️ BTW I VOTED!!!!

[@mom2emsopmax]

You inspire me! I really need to take one day and meal prep to make the rest of the week easier. I work outside the home 5 days a week and the kids have activities several nights a week (2 nights we don’t even get home until 8:30-ish) and most nights feel hectic and not relaxing at all! This would help me so much!

[@wendycone4599]

Love the meal prep it's awesome now I just have to divide down to feed 1 or 2 people

[@TheMissymoo100]

One thing I like about prepping ahead of time is...well...when I make a prep-heavy meal..i often just don't feel like eating it because it was so much work! Whereas if I make it the day before or make it and freeze for another time, the hard work is a more distant memory or something and I enjoy it so much more. This is often the reason I prep (there's only two of us!) - that and fitting it around work and other responsibilities so we still eat healthyish.
