Freaking out about the deconstructed Shepherd's Pie recipe. Stoked to make the sun-dried tomato pesto too & the salmon/pineapple salad!, but damn that Shepherd's Pie idea is genius. Y'all did came up w/ a solution to a problem that most everyone who's had leftover Shepherd's Pie has experienced. Thanks guys!!

[@satanschild338]

[@lorken22]

I'm not a fish person but I might try that last one with chicken instead!

[@Elissaoui]

Very interesting Video, thump up, have a nice day!

[@mythirdchannel]

the Snap Pea & Edamame Salad looks really good :D

[@thedomesticgeek1]

I hope you're able to try it!

[@evghenianicolaou5327]

I'm going to try these recipes soon. Could you add lentils or other pulses in the recipes to come? Thank you. Always inspiring.

[@smurfettmm999]

I've found that stew beef is tough if you cook it quickly as you did here. It needs to be slow cooked to make it tender. Is this a different cut that works with quick cooking? This looks great, but I'm concerned about chewy beef 😕

[@spaceghst407]

I can't find anywhere how many servings these recipes make. Did I miss that? These look amazing =)

[@rolabeauty2372]

Your video's give me life..love your recipes 😚

[@keillanhadden798]

Great ideas! Where did u get your glass containers?

[@rose-darleinenoel3914]

I love all the meal you prep. Can you do some kids friendly lunch prep Please😘😘😘😙

[@lupitalemusdf1565]

Wow that is so helty I loveeee your videos 😘😘😘

[@suzannemartinez3137]

Hello, on the oatmeal nut muffins what is the egg equivalent to the flax egg?

[@mohammadhassan6608]

Excelkent🌟

[@evieaddy9580]

...what? of course it shepards pie travels well its a case of letting cool down before packing it up for the trip to work...

[@xxxxHoshixxxx]

Yum😀

[@lam-anhle1070]

*___* You're the best!! Thank you so much for these helpful ideas!

[@michellebeckham6402]

Would love to see a meal prep plan of pure vegan dishes. Pretty please 😁

[@keyladiaz3078]

can you do a video of essential pots and pans. I don't have a steamer how can I steam without buying one?

[@jelkel1928]

Metal strainer / colander over pot or pan with simmering water

[@Emzinton]

That word you said at 5:36.... How do you spell it?

[@15stardust]

does the ebook contain the calories for these recipes?

[@fionacavalier]

how long for storage 3 days?

[@nagapriyanka4753]

nice video

[@butterflymomblogger3380]

Do you prep these in one day?

[@Rachel-ro5uv]

I was just wondering, did you include the dressing for the last recipe in the video? I might just have missed it, but I do believe it wasn't there...

[@ummunour1118]

Rachel In the description box she mentions a sesame ginger dressing but not in the video. Maybe she already shared the recipe for the dressing in another video?

[@butterflymomblogger3380]

If I try these can I feature you on my blog?

[@animeotaku8909]

Is there another herb you could sub for cilantro?? I hate the stuff, but I know it brings freshness and helps balance out the dish, so omitting it seems a little sad too.

[@T0mtoma]

Dill works well

[@justina2320]

Looks amazing! I am gonna try all of these with the exception of teryaki tofu. It is pretty hard to find tofu where i live. What would you recommend as a substitute?

[@maddierose7020]

Justyna you could just use regular meat lol, teriyaki chicken is super good

[@jamwithjal]

Same thing can be done with Any protein

[@AnnaS-ot7sz]

If its beef its cottage pie, shepherd pie is made with lamb

[@ohleander02]

More of a pot roast box, that one, not shepherd's pie. :)

[@Lauren-ew7tu]

Hi Sara, where do you get your meal prep containers?

[@jenny15670]

from amazon, she has a link to them in the description

[@yukikourei6027]

Nice one! Really want to try the chicken and the tofu one. For those of us who can’t take the taste of cilantro, what can we replace it with in the salmon recipe?

[@mosskat285]

Yuki Kourei probably parsley? They are similar

[@fraeni90]

I guess you could use parsley instead, but I would honestly just omit the cilantro. The other flavors sound amazing without it :)

[@yukikourei6027]

Fran rose , mosskat285 Thank you for the suggestion! I will test it tomorrow with parsley. Can’t wait to taste it.

[@anacristinafonseca8891]

All of the recipes look uber tasty but as many Brazilians, I find it difficult to understand as a “meal” something that does not include rice... completely puzzled about how other people can prep “lunch” without rice...

[@sophieh2902]

Ana Cristina Fonseca You would hate to hear what I eat for lunch... I'm from the UK and I usually have a sandwich or cheese and crackers. In the summer I also have salads and in the winter I often lean towards soups. If there's any leftovers from dinner the previous night, then I might have that for lunch instead.

[@treasuretwiq_mommy9110]

Hey dear... They looks so yum... Plz make a meal prep for post partum

[@pacman12161977]

What if I dont have poppy seeds?

[@ssd1453]

Please do a vegetarian version!
