The ONE dish that finally got me to LOVE meal prep {No Music}

[@thenarddogcooks]

Do you meal prep, meal plan or wing it? Let's discuss!

[@lorrainethomas8797]

Plan. Always create a menu for the week and grocery shop accordingly. And about every five or six weeks we usually have a "freezer fud" menu to clear up space.

[@catarinamarques726]

Hi! From Portugal 🌞 I prepar my meals for work... My week have 6days so I made food like 2 and 2 days. I'm looking for good and quick recipes because I'm a bus driver and don't have much time to eat. So happy to found your channel! Thank you so much!

Hi from Belize. Most of the times I wing it what i cook depends on my mood and the weather.

[@ketuanjones267]

Meal prep most most of the time to save time and money

[@itgetter9]

Andrew, all of us viewers who love you collectively manifested that russet potato and sent it right to you, as a sign of our gratitude!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 thank you for this!! gave me a GAINT smile! ALL of you are so BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING! Im lucky to have you all 🤗 ❤️

[@itgetter9]

@@thenarddogcooks 😊 Yay! I'm so glad! I made a big batch of that vegan cheese sauce, and I've been enjoying it and thanking you every day!!

[@gjohnson4777]

I just wanted to share how much I like the way you approach your videos! I like that you do the recipe first, then talk about it. I like that you help us appreciate the food rather than trying to enforce any one dietary lifestyle choice. And I really like the calm, measured pace of the videos. When you have music it’s great because you choose awesome stuff, and when you have no music it’s great too. Thanks so much for sharing these and for putting such great information out here for us to use! ⭐️

THAT PART

[@thenarddogcooks]

love this! thank you so so much!❤️

[@BronzedGods]

my wife and i meal prep every sunday for the week. I work 12 hour shifts so having food ready to go for the week makes sense. we cook 3 or 4 dishes so there is variety (we've made a bunch of yours btw!). I look forward to it every week.

[@thenarddogcooks]

thank you for sharing, James!! Variety is key to successful meal prep, so you both are doing it right. Appreciate your support!

[@sunny30675]

I'm not a vegan, but I made this quesadillas and I am very impressed by the taste even without meat. My family of 3 absolutely devoured it.

[@janelucas382]

Your logic is wonderful! Even when my children were young I never called dinner "leftovers". I coined the phrase " planned overs" 40 years ago and my children and grandchildren still use it. It only makes sense when cooking for any number of people especially those who enjoy dinner the next day. Keep cooking. You are a natural!

[@TheBreakthroughShowNetwork]

I just love this video! "If you're team is..." As a homeschooling mom of 6 and busy entrepreneur, I am HERE for this! Thank you for this recipe, but your commentary is perfection! Blessings!

[@africa828]

Love this guy this chef is one of my top five on KZbin absolute genius

[@janettucker3196]

This is perhaps the most enjoyable cooking KZbin I've seen: no music (yay), beautiful presentation, and clear instructions. Thanks. Wondering about how the leftovers are wrapped for storage.

[@ghoulgoil5029]

This looks so good. Never would have thought of putting the tortillas like that. Great idea!

[@thenarddogcooks]

thanks, Ghoul!

[@peterpiper487]

THANK YOU FOR NO MUSIC!! No noise!

I finally convinced my husband to attempt a vegan lifestyle, I had to allow the idea to be his. 😉 He came across your delicious recipe and is eager to make it. You now have two new subscribers. Thank you for sharing. 💜

[@nenairby3349]

I would have never know you did particularly care for preparing for meals. Cause you do it so precisely an with such ease. Love the recipe . ❤️

I'm surviving veganism because of you Andrew with your quick delicious meals. I'm eating the rest of the walnut taco meat today. This is next. Thanks!!

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 i appreciate you!

[@yungpsy]

why “survive” when you can LIVE & feast?

[@AMZflipper]

@@yungpsy I wouldn't take it so literal lol, I feast on great recipes and feel great doing it. Conveying nutrition or certain lifestyle changes is always a critical issue for some, but that's ok we all have freedom to choose

[@scottsquires4785]

Made this yesterday, went over great. Now those leftovers are my meal prep for the next few days of work. I've been edging towards vegatarianism and lunches are the toughest for me, due to work. Your videos are great

[@mya_bonilla]

Made it Today!! It was amazing!!! Thank you so much for this recipe. I honestly didn’t know what to eat for dinner and I have no regrets 😋👏🏾

[@thenarddogcooks]

Already!!! How awesome!! So glade you enjoyed.

[@bettydamnboop3030]

There’s something beautiful about a man fixing a meal. Thank you 😊

Made this last night and it’s absolutely delicious and my work lunch is sorted for the week, thanks Andrew! 🥔❤️

[@Kx____]

wow this is amazing, i would never think of doing something like this. also love that potato, something small like that can really put a smile your face. thank you

[@thenarddogcooks]

OMG, right!?

[@lydiaholbrook6389]

This is one of your recipes that I adore. We make it at least once a month. Sometimes we add some vegan ground just for funzies. Thanks for the videos.

[@thenarddogcooks]

Yea?? That so amazing!! Thanks for sharing, Lydia!

[@Nanassugars]

Why do I feel like watching you prep and cook is my therapy?! ❤️ you and your videos! Can’t wait to try this one! Thank you for sharing!

[@thenarddogcooks]

🤗❤️

[@wildrice8199]

Idk about therapy but the editing style is very calming and meditative. Could use it to relax before bed or something.

[@morganelizabethreads]

On Sundays I meal prep breakfasts and lunches for the work week. It's so nice to be able to grab my breakfast and lunch each day and not have to worry about what I'm taking. I don't meal prep dinners, although I usually have a general idea of what I want to make during the week.

[@USVeganTraveler]

Good question. I mass make individual burritos, wrap tightly and freeze. I try not to make them too thick. I defrost it and then heat it up in a skillet making sure not to brown too much but still serve it with a knife and topped with fresh salsa. If in a rush I Nike it for a minute and then cook. I’d like to get his take on leftovers.

[@thenarddogcooks]

i feel most dont meal prep dinner since they are going to be home from work by then. Although, when you have kids, meal prepping dinner is a god send.

[@angelal8829]

This man is so nice and so soothing and so helpful and it’s great.

[@MsMini65]

This is my first time viewing your videos - thank you the very best vegan videos for beginners 😊

[@jediquigley2192]

I did this dish earlier in the week and it's gorgeous. we have become a family that don't have a lot of flavour in our dinners due to one fussy child and trying to work around the other child's allergies (cows milk, pork, beef and lamb). anyway this has thrown us a lifeline and I want to get back into appreciating the amazing taste of food, thank you

[@PizzaProphet]

That tortilla fold-over move is one hell of a technique! Bravo!

[@elenamigaldi7404]

I wasn’t hungry until I watched your video. It looks so delicious and now I’m starving. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@chrisg4584]

I like how approachable & affordable your dishes are, & often times are things that I already have at home, or can easily get basically anywhere. Sometimes I'll see vegan dishes that look interesting, but they'll call for ingredients that are kind of hard to get or are expensive

[@antje1076]

I DEFINITELY will try this method! It's soooo timesaving for me as a mother of four! 💪🏻

[@saudigold50]

Best channel running the KZbin Highway!

[@jamesc9517]

The asmr for this video is so good

[@gottasay4766]

You have mastered the genre and made it art.

[@bizburgess1947]

I have limited mobility so meal prep is a huge thing for me. If I am able to cook one meal...I make 3 of the same, freeze 2. Anyone can reheat food, we don't all build food that is fit to eat. Works for our home.

[@USVeganTraveler]

Gorgeous. It takes the place of burritos and I will try and serve this to a family gathering this week.

[@thenarddogcooks]

You got this!

[@bunkertons]

[@jenniferc7831]

I can’t wait to try this recipe, half and half on the cheese will please everyone. I do have a question about freezing. I didn’t grow up using the freezer (leftovers were always eaten so no need to freeze) so I’m still kind of learning how to reheat meals. Do you let this defrost and then reheat or can you cook from frozen?

[@thenarddogcooks]

Good question! You can do both. If you do from frozen: Preheat your oven to 400 to 450 degrees F, cover the quesadilla with aluminum foil, place it on a cookie sheet and put it at the center of the oven, bake for 35 to 40 minutes. If you thawing: (i like to airfry to reheat at 425F for 8-10 mins) Preheat oven to 350 F and bake 10-15 mins until crispy and heated through!

I'm not sure how I found you, KZbin must have known I needed you in my life! This recipe is a great idea, and the analogy of the freezer = time machine is perfect. I always felt that way but never thought of it exactly like that! I always thought "fun size" meant small, and "family" or "economy" sized meant big? Anyway, looking forward to binging your channel! Thanks 💖 ✌️

[@ChibiChula]

Just found your channel and loved this video! Very clear, calming visuals, and no distracting music. I'll definitely check out more of your videos in the future. Subscribed! 😁👍 BTW, I love how you talk about meal prep and freezing foods for later because I do that heavily at least once a year, right before summer begins, and moderately the rest of the year due to mobility issues. Meaning, (because I live alone) I normally cook at least 2 meals that freeze well every day for a week and make 4 (or more) portions and all extras immediately go into the freezer (as soon as they cool down enough). After that I'm set for the rest of the month or more (because sometimes I'll get pizza, eat a sandwich and/or salad instead). Right before summer hits, I generally do the same thing but for almost an entire month (3-4 months of food for me) so I do zero cooking in the summer. Luckily, if packed well (I have the Food Saver system) you can literally freeze food for a year and not taste a difference after reheating. I only prepare cold stuff in the summer heat since I live in a NYC apartment, top floor, with no central air conditioning. My apartment is already an oven at that point without help, lol. 😂
