Thoughtworthy Co is my new favorite UA-cam channel. Every one of the videos you have posted so far is so amazing and suits my tastes so well. Love the minimalist, soothing vibe. All the videos are so calm and relaxing, but also beneficial and pure they are. There is no bad content so far. Love what you guys are doing
Omg thank you! Honestly, we re-read your comment multiple times to really soak in all the sweetness 🥰🥰 We really hope to continue living up to your expectations!
We've recently adopted the bento bowl type cooking. Basically we make rice, a protein of some sort and just chop up a variety of vegetables. We find it so easy and the varieties are endless. I dont know if bento bowl is actually what it's called but we just love japanese, chinese and korean style food.
I tried to cook on Saturdays for the whole week ahead for a couple of months, and I encountered the same exact problems: I hated Saturdays for being so long and exhausing (though usually I love to cook), I spent a lot of time on planning groceries for the week, and I didn't like the taste of defrosted/reheated food, repeated again and again. And if I made a mistake and the stew was not ver good, I had to eat it for 4-6 days .... D: I definitely can adopt cook once - eat twice method. Thank you for the good video!
Instead of the bulky containers you could use Stashed bags. They are a great alternative and take up way less space. I have been using them for a few months now and absolutely love them for freezing, storing, taking away and even cooking.
YES YES YES! I currently started doing this for myself. Last month I was eating out so much and had gotten kinda tired of cooking just for myself. So then I was also throwing away food I wasn't using. Recently, I got one week of Hello Fresh - which sends meals for TWO minimum. So I did exactly this and ate one and saved the other half for the next day! I have now started shopping like this, and it's surprisingly saving me a lot of money. Now, I feel like I have more time, I'm eating healthier, wasting less, and enjoying trying to cook new things. I'm also eating more sides with my meals where before I was only eating like chicken, or loads of meat and not enough everything else.
What I like to do is add different side dishes that can be eaten with the meal or just use a lot of lime juice to change the flavour the next day. Since my parents like to cook the same recipes on repeat (a habit which I've adopted as well).
Thanks for the nice video. I usually cook once for 2-3 meals. However, I m a person who doesn’t like to eat same dish after one meal. So what I do is to make some variation in between using different ingredients. Can go by steaming or mix and match with other ingredients available in the fridge. Steaming means to place ingredients in a bowl and place it in rice cooker with some water, turn it on and set the timer. That’s all. Eg : 1st meal is plain rice with roasted chicken and a steam carrot and sweet corn . Balance rice and stir dry with roasted chicken too and reserve for 2nd meal + boiled some broccoli. That’s all
In our home, we also eat the same dish until there's no more leftovers. Lol. Same menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, sometimes until the next breakfast. Always reheat stuffs. My mom often cook marinated chicken in a bulk, then put them in the freezer, we take them out to fry as needed. It can last for a few days. Lol. I always thought this is something very normal. It turns out it's not? Lol
Heck, if I'm making soup I'll make as big of a pot of it as I can and eat it for days on end. I love making big portions of healthy foods to eat. I only cook once eat once when it comes to junkier foods because if its sitting in the fridge and I'm feeling snacky late at night... I'm definitely going to eat it lol
Hey Tiffany! You commented so quickly! The final edits of this video took longer than expected and we ended up staying up and uploading it at like 6am (our local time). Soon after uploading, we got the notification of your comment but we were so exhausted and went to bed instead 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕
Please post more and you will be 1kk subs in no time. Amazing quality content. Some much needed fresh air on this website. Nice editing. Loved the vid, I kinda already do that myself, but with a twist. So let's say I cook a fresh lunch and then store the leftovers. At night, I cook a brand new dinner and also store the leftovers. For the next 2-3 days I get to play around and make new combinations and will often add a little something else on top of everything, just so we don't have the exact same meal twice in a row. Keeps the wife happy, since I'm the cook here :)
Hi Im from Mexico city and this is the most simple meal prep I can do, is fantastic to me so delicious and easy for to do, I'm in the way to minimalist life thx for u videos
Is it something special? Our family always do this. We can eat the same dish for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes until the next days. Depends on whether we have leftovers or not. Normally it never finished at once.
Hello! Thanks for such an informative video! A question - do you and your husband eat the same size portions? My bf happens to eat twice or more the size of my portion and sometimes I struggle to manage that.
Glo definitely eats more than me, though not as much as double my share. I'll usually eyeball the portions, and leave what I can't finish to him 😅 Hope you'll find a good way to solve your problem soon, good luck!
Hi! I've noticed that you don't use a kitchen hood /smoke extractor, or maybe it was hidden out of shot? Was it a concious decision not to install one? Any problem with cooking odour? After some time of cooking without using a hood, the water vapour started to cause my ceiling paint to crack and peel, any such problem as well?
Hey! So we grew up in both our parents' homes that didn't use kitchen hoods (they were not fans of them). So we never felt like it was something we needed to get, which is why we didn't install it. For the cooking that we do, honestly we're not bothered by any cooking odour problems at all. We still shut the doors of our bedroom and office when cooking though. We've also never had the ceiling paint crack in the kitchen (so far in our home, as well as previously in our parents' places) Cheers! :)
Thank you for the informative and well-filmed videos. Looking forward to more :) Don't mind, will like to ask your thoughts on/ if you will recommend your Panasonic double heater oven? Currently scouting for convection microwave and comparing brands. Thank you!!
Hi there, thanks! Yes I can recommend the Panasonic; we use it pretty much every single day, and so far so good. I picked Panasonic because my parents had one that lasted for ages 😅 Then from their range of ovens, this one met all my requirements, and the size was also just right. Good luck!
Very nice and useful vedio. It inspires us to prepare this way instead of getting anxiety witj meal prep for one week. Thank u guys. Please post more of such vedios
Hello from 🇨🇭 Love you videos 🥰 Would it be possible to know what rice-cooker you are using? Trying to buy one, but there are far too many options so i ask around to see what other people use. 🤷🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Hello! We use one from Hitachi (RZ-PMA10Y). It was gifted to us by our parents, and it's actually the first rice cooker we own so we can't say we have too much experience with them. Here's the most similar-specced one that I found on Amazon; it's from Zojirushi (another reputable Japanese brand): amzn.to/30fPzNK (affiliate)
enjoying your meal preps,.,,able to share more? moving in to my house soon..and also a terrible cook. wanna start something simple!:) also, do u eat your leftover the next day?or do u keep it till later?
Food videos is something that we might consider doing more of in the future! :) We try to eat all leftovers within 2-3 days in the fridge, but up to a week or more in the freezer!
Hi, we looked through the video again, and I think you're referring to the Bon Appetit website. It wasn't an app, we were just browsing their website on our phone. Hope this helps! Cheers :)
hello---i'm happy if ound you---everything is like i like---minimal.i don;t like to cook anymore either, i do however what to eat healthy. and live simply---thankyou so much----deatra
Hey! Some of the plates in this video are from IKEA. Many of the other items, we got from markets in Thailand, or they were gifts/passed down from our parents :)
I just found your channel and you got me hooked!!! Beautiful and well thought content... new subscriber here!!! On another note, is the oven a convection oven? I saw is Panasonic but by any chance do you know the model? Thank you in advance! 🥰 #lotsoflovefrommexico
We don't have any preferences or strong feelings towards any diets (or eating patterns, in this case with IF). When done right, anything can work for anyone. We experimented with intermittent fasting for a short while but just couldn't get used to it (in terms of scheduling and how our bodies felt). No harm giving it a try and see how your body feels :) Great timing though, our latest video covers our general approach to fitness and nutrition. Give it a watch if you have the time!
your husband should also do the meal prep and the washing up. I know it's an asian thing to keep the women in the kitchen but SG is supposedly a first world country. doesn't it follow that you should have equal rights or at least equal distribution of household tasks in a marriage?
I enjoy my time in the kitchen. I don't want to be the one fixing stuff when things break. I prefer not to do the strenuous chores that my husband does. I also don't prefer to film and edit videos. We distribute our tasks fairly, not equally. I appreciate your thoughts, but I would appreciate it even more if you refrain from jumping to conclusions the way you did. Thanks :)
Hmm.. not sure how accurate is "since always". I imagine refrigerator sizes, technology and widespread use would only date back about two generations or so 🤔 We're not American, and the point of family cooking here is usually to have *freshly-cooked* meals.
Hmm..honestly saying is not every healthy to eat overnight meal. If you Google there is still china family the grandma always cooked left over dinner and have it the next day.end up the little girl body goes wrong. ♥️
Why don’t you both cook and wash up together? That way is faster, easier and also more fun. I truly don’t think that cooking or any other housework should lay only on the woman’s shoulder.
100% agree it shouldn't only be on women's shoulders; a couple should find their own happy arrangement for housework. I enjoy my time in the kitchen, he does the more physical chores, so I can't be happier with our distribution of chores 😊

Your videos are quite satisfying and inspiring. Thank you for making the world a better place to live.
Love from India
What I like to do is add different side dishes that can be eaten with the meal or just use a lot of lime juice to change the flavour the next day.
Since my parents like to cook the same recipes on repeat (a habit which I've adopted as well).
Adding different side dishes sound like a great way to spice up your meals! 😊
I cannot eat a single thing you prepared but I still watched this entire video and enjoyed the soothing serenity of your cooking. Thank you!

Loved this. I feel the same about making 10+ meals in one day- overwhelmed! This is perfect for our small kitchen. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you liked it! 🥰🙌
I love the mood of your videos and your philosophy too :)
Thank you, we really appreciate it! 💕
Yes! I use the cook once, eat twice menthod as well! Sometimes, it even comes up to eat thrice.. Especially for soups!
😁 Soups reheat great!

It's nothing special. It's just a difference of "leftovers" and "planned leftovers".

We'll be keeping these ideas in mind! :)
Actual u can also watch Japanese meal prep for few days. Although it won’t be as fresh but you dun need to eat the same food for 2 consecutive days.
I mean meals.*
Cool, thanks for sharing! We'll definitely be looking further into it and giving it a shot :)
Never thought of this before, I’m trying your recipes for sure😋

I've got the exact same oven but haven't been able to find another tray with the same dimensions. Could you share where you guys got yours? Thanks!

It's a Panasonic microwave convection oven!
Could u take us through your kitchen equipment ?
Thanks for the suggestion! We have other content lined up at the moment, but we'll keep that topic in mind for the future :)
If you’re planning on washing pans, why not eat on a pan instead of putting on a dish?

Our family is always cook once, eat thrice 😩
What is in that red bbootle at 6:05 min?
It's hot sauce! :)

Meal prepping is some weird american fad. In any other national cuisine, cooking dishes in a bulk is simply how food was prepared since always.
Hmm.. not sure how accurate is "since always". I imagine refrigerator sizes, technology and widespread use would only date back about two generations or so 🤔 We're not American, and the point of family cooking here is usually to have *freshly-cooked* meals.
