I love how involved your kids are in the cooking. They are going to benefit so much from knowing how to cook!
For real. I am 52 and still can't. I wish I had paid attention when my mother tried to teach me when I was a kid. But I was all, "That's boring!"
Such an important skill to learn! My mother-in-law loved being in the kitchen with her parents and it shows. Her sisters were never in the kitchen and they still call her for advice on recipes!
So true! My kids are cooking tonight actually! They have friends in high school that can barely make eggs. Even their cousins (whose father owns a Mexican restaurant) don’t really know how to cook!
I got a little behind this week as we were hit with a stomach bug. Everything is extra in big families. hehe . But everyone is on the mend and we are back on track now! Our final update for our freezer/pantry challenge will hopefully be live Tuesday. Check back to see how we survived!! 😅
You are amazing.
Is your eye OK?
We had the stomach bug too. Glad you guys are feeling better. Around what time you going live, Tuesday? I hope I'm available.
Our Tribe of Many glad you all are on the mend!
Love these videos
I once sent my husband to the store for yogurt. He called me to ask what flavor to get. He's the only one in our house who eats it. 😂
😆
😂 too funny
I make 3 to 4 meat loaves at a time and I freeze them raw so I can use them when I need them. I will put them in the crock pot in the morning for dinner. I also cook ground beef ahead and freeze it, to add to chili, or goulash etc. as needed. Doing ahead and freezing saves time on prep and only washing dishes one time. I prep ahead different from you but, everyone has their own way which makes their life easier. Love you and your family. Stay safe.
Of course I still watch you! 😃 I am so glad that you all enjoy the recipe.
Share the recipe!! :-)
Hi Amy!! 🤣☺️
Recipe?
Yes please share :)
Amy Merryman yes please share! :)
I love that your boys cook so much! They will make some lucky women very happy!
Your reality is my reality and most like the reality of so many others... "look at this mess - means we are getting things done..."... "Oh, gotta clean that!!!..." those kids in the background, love it... Your truths are what make your channel the best!!! Blessings!!! ❣
I knew the honeymoon was over when my new husband went to the store for me for a head of lettuce and came home with a head of cabbage ❤️
That was 33 years ago!
Lol this was cute! I can sooo relate!
Lol
Lol
😲😂😂
I love the way your family gets together to make these meals. Everyone cooking has a chance to make something they really like, and it’s all done in love!
The fact that you have any energy to meal prep is absolutely amazing! After I have a baby, I’m out of it for a solid 3 months! You guys are incredible! ❤️ to your all! Thanks for inspiring us all as parents, and small youtubers! 😉
Your children are wonderful!!
Solo, your grocery trip brought to mind Jeanne Robertson when she sent her husband to the grocery store. If you get a chance, listen to her stand-up routine/stories. Hilarious clean fun! Thank you for keeping it real Sarah!
Becky Bailey left brain?!?
I saw Jeanne Robertson at an employee appreciation dinner for a local hospice I work for. She is sooo hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! Sending left brain to the store!!!! LOL And the 7-UP Cake.
I love Left Brain 😂
I just watched it.... hilarious!!!
Becky Bailey love, love Jeanne Robertson!
Omg solo is so funny, maybe do a tomato soup with grill cheese sandwiches, spaghetti or chili 😊
Why would someone dislike this video , haters gonna hate !
Pumpkin bread sounds amazing !
Judah is gonna be such a good husband , how is he doing driving ? I bett that is sooo helpful , having another driver in the family !!!
Love you guys so much !
Smile Mika you have a great smile !!
Its amazing how some feel the need to just do stuff because they can...if you don't like it just don't watch.
Beverley Picard keyboard warriors, they are either jealous or envious of what others have. They should consentrate on bettering there own lives instead of picking on others, just sad people 😟
I just love you guys. So normal. So grateful and kind and positive. Thank you for always sharing the real life with such joy but honesty and truth. I look forward to all your videos.
I love buying chicken and ground beef in bulk. I cook it up and season the beef. Then I bag up the cooled meat into individual size meal amounts and freeze. Saves me so much time.
I did buy that rice and have been making it up. I even add the cooked rice to soups.
I been using more spices thanks to watching your channel.
Have a fabulous weekend.
I always help my momma cook on the weekends. I love homemade momma meals. I love making soups and sides for our weekend meals
Oh my goodness....the little scowl on your baby's face is so adorable I can't handle the cuteness ❤️🙂
A really amazing tip for lamb to help with the smell and also help calm the gamey flavor is to rub the raw meat all over with lemon before you cook it! It helps neutralize the odor and also tenderizes a little. I'm middle eastern and used to be a Chef Instructor, so I love my lamb! 😊😊😊
That’s great. Thank you!
Gina Bangser I was gifted deer meat steaks and was googling how to cook it !!!
Thank you for the tip!!! Will do what you said and marinate also !!
Hope we like it !!!!
I love how Solo cooks, bit of this, bit of that! His stew/curry looks amazing!
Solo is the BEST!!! 😊
Just finished teaching my daughter how to clean the bathroom after we had a busy night last night and busy morning, sat down for a quick break and saw your video. My quick break will be about 20 minutes now!😉🙂
Solo and Sarah, ever since i found your channel. You guys have inspired me to start and love meal planning and be more mindful and aware of what I’m putting in my body! Thank you so much. I love your channel! I love that your so pure and different and is the only UA-cam family who doesn’t use click bait
P.S I just love watching Solo cook! And I just about spit/laughed all over whenever he said did you tell the good folks! 😂😂 God bless you guy's!
I am utterly inspired by your pantry challenges and I am a recently single woman with cupboards full of quinoa and low carb pasta! I could probably eat for a month from my cupboards, not everything we eat needs to be gourmet and it is good to remember what a treat is. Many people around the world would be very grateful for the things I look over everyday. God bless.
You have inspired me so much to do this in my own life. There's only three of us, but I'm disabled and some nights I'm just too tired to cook. I now prep three meals a week and have found it so helpful. We're saving a lot of money too. I love how everyone in your family pitches in.
I think it's great that your kids cook and you let their creativy flow!
Love watching the young ones cook. They learn young and carry it through life and pass it on to their kids.
Just love this channel so much, I have no kids and it’s just me, my husband and dogs but I live vicariously through your big family!! You guys are so blessed. ♥️
The instructions on the inside of the cupboard is genius! I have no idea why I have never thought of that. Out of sight but so practical! 💡
Years ago when I had a vegetable garden I would tally my canning and
freezing yeilds on the inside of the cupboard door with the dates.
I don't even have any children and I don't use any of the recipes but loveeee watching your videos 😂😋 💕
I love what you said about eating out for desire and not desperation I’m going to have to start reminding myself that one !
Wow Solo is so much like my man. He's always helping or is in the kitchen. He does all the shopping so I make a list and always comes home with everything on the list plus more. I always make extra when I cook as most days I'm too ill. Growing up we had a large family so we had to learn to make large meals. I tell you that has saved me . Love your show it's great.
Those meatballs look delish😋I love how relax you look n your hubby still has energy after coming home to help you prepare good👍you all are awesome ♥️
"That's my child screaming, not yours" that made me LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously I know I've asked for an arranged marriage with Judah and my daughter, but seriously I'd be just happy having him cook for me and play the piano as much as he wanted 👍🏻👍🏻
Judah has a beautiful soul, how could he be anything else growing up in such a lovely family . The love and togetherness is inspirering
Last week I was sick the weekend I was supposed to go grocery shopping. My husband volunteered to go shopping. He took my oldest two girls with him. Well I had to do a fill in haul a week later. I had to do it today. My husband didn't hardly get anything and double check with the menu I had with the list. He got so stressed out and was trying to be cheerful that a worker at the grocery store he was in gave him 3 bags of cara cara oranges. Lol. He said I'll go shopping I'll push the cart. So thankful for emergency money to do a fill in trip today. My daughter's will never let him live it down. They were trying to help him and he got so confused poor husband. 😊 it was so bad I had to use our pantry too. Grass season will be here soon so we're getting down to barely anything. Everything looks so good. Take care guys and have a blessed day
Good job everyone on the meal preparations. I meal plan but you guys have inspired me to start meal prepping as well. It was nice to see Solo in the kitchen as well. I hope you and your family enjoy all your hard work
I love how Solo is into all of this with you. He said, did you yell the good people what happened. Mealprep is the best.
You are one best couples on this you tube. I love the way you guys communicate. Thank you for sharing your lives on here
I love how involved and helpful your children are! And they do it with good attitudes lol
I’m off Saturday and then work Sunday-Wednesday, so Saturday I meal prep and it saves me so much money and time. After working a long hard shift without a break to eat it’s nice to come home and have a delicious meal waiting!
Loving these weekly meal prep videos. It fits with my busy family. I did it the other day and timed it. It is amazing how little time it takes to get it done for the whole week.
How nice to have the kids in the kitchen to take the load off of you! When they start making the meals it'll free up so much time for you!
I 💚 listening to Solo talk.. the accent is amazing and very calming to me. You can say it, I'm weird. I'm okay with that.
Same
Charity LaFountain • I love listening to him as well, his voice and accent are very soothing to me. There is a woman on UA-cam with a southern accent that I like to watch and her voice is soothing as well. Her channel is Jan Creson.
I know y’all have a lot of ground beef from the cow, are you guys into meatloaf?? I used to love meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy when I was younger 😋😋
Thanks for sharing your meal prep ideas. You and Solo make a great team and Judah is wonderful! 🥰
Don’t you just love it when your hubby comes home from shopping 🛒 mine is wonderful but wow he can get it so wrong. Bless him. Even with a list lol 😂 thankfully our son sorts him out. Thank the lord for children. Tin 🥫 tomatoes are a great over purchase. He tries lol 😂 xxx
Hello to you and your family.. You and Solo are such awesome parents. Sending you Love, Hugs and Positivity. I love that insta pot you use. I am hoping someday i can afford one. Sure seems to save cooking time.
Goulash is very simple. I do big elbow noodles. Cook noodles, fry hamburger meat, drain, canned tomatoes. Mix all together! Add garlic seasoning, salt and pepper. Mmmmm.......! Also cooked noodles and canned tomatoes with butter and dill! My favorite!
Y'all are such a wonderful family. Be blessed.
You are bless to all your elder children help you with cooking and help you around your house the love you all have for one another is so beautiful
I love Solo's grocery mix up haha.. so cute. and all the food at the end looked delish.
Yummy dinners. Good cooks and the breads look fabulous. Fun cooking together. Love your channel and family.
That looked like fun. You are lucky to have children that like to cook. Great video.
Love watching all your family contributing to the cooking. I wish my husband had an interest in learning to cook!
Love how the kids and hubby cook! I never prepare just one meal; takes five more minutes to make an extra meal... or more! Love your videos!
I love to watch you guys cook! The kids are amazing and I’m captivated with Kenyan cooking!! ❤️❤️❤️
I still think you need to make a family cookbook!! :) - love from Canada
I appreciate that this was still a short video but packed with ideas!
My husband and I got a good laugh from Solo’s shopping for tomatoes. He does our shopping and this has happened here in our home also.
🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could do that but now I only have me to cook for. Ya'll are a great couple, I would lose my mind. I would be screaming at the kids, telling them to go in their room and telling their daddy to get their butts out of the way. LOL. I really like ya'll's video's. Ya'll are so happy and smiling.
Saturday baking morning here. Banana breads with walnuts and some with chocolate chips! Community service day for our granddaughter and friends at the humane society. School requires 10 hrs. Busy time here just fewer in our clan. Have a great week to you all!
Sick with the stomach bug too!! But nothing stops me from watching your videos!! Nice recipes!! Have a Wonderful day!!❤😊❤
Sarah just a thought instead of eating out because of planning you could do breakfast for dinner I;e pancakes big ones or biscuits, cinnamon rolls with cheesy eggs and grits ,polish sausage. Solo could make his chai tea too. Just a thought, I loving your channel I look forward to watching you all.❤
Great idea😊
Cooking with Summer B we do that on busy soccer nights! The kids love it! Or the frozen sausages you buy with egg, bagel and cheese. The kids can make it theirselves.
I love when you turned the camera to Seth and he was looking at the camera like “who do you think your looking at?!”
Love it how Seth is always so serious looking!
Hey, can you share your recipe for the broccoli salad? They have it at my grocery in the deli section but its expensive. And we love it! Thanks for always sharing!
Im from the uk and I would like 8t aswell xx
This comment has nothing to do with this video, but I was binge watching some of your old videos and Sarah you are amazing, so patient, always with a kind encouraging word for the kids. I would venture to say that 98% of your videos always contain the words “good job” or “I love it” to your kids. I just wanted you to know that your videos are very inspiring.
Another great video! Awesome meal preps!! Some more ideas for me to try. 😁😁.
Bless you all!! 💖💖. Judah, your bread looks amazingly good!!
I enjoy seeing your children in the kitchen. My parents allowed us ( my 8 siblings and I) into the kitchen to “ help “ we would stand on a chair and break the eggs for cakes and breakfast 🍳 and pancakes 🥞. When we were old enough to be responsible in the kitchen we were allowed to prepare the evening meal. Because of our travels we learned to eat lamb . One of my favorite dishes was
Curry and lamb. We had different toppings we would put on top of the curry and rice, bananas 🍌, cut up 🍇 grapes , 🍓strawberries ,🍍pineapple 🥥 coconut and different kinds of nuts. We ate it often when we lived in Turkey.
I love your videos!!!! I want to try the veggie casserole yum!!!
Y'all cook good serveral meals,everybody in the kitchen that a good family.
Love watching the cooking videos with all the cooks. ❤️👵🏻🐶
An idea for the pumpkin bread - add a few ghiradelli chocolate chips. It’s super tasty! Great video! You’ve definitely inspired me to get back into meal planning & prep! Thank you!
Solo buying all those cans of tomatoes reminded me of one time my son shopped for our family. There are only 5 of us, and I had made my list then got sick. My son at 25 is a good cook so I figured he could easily read my list and get the groceries when he offered to go.He did great on everything except he came in apologizing they didn’t have enough packages of hot dogs. I said it was fine as I was going to put them in the freezer since they were on sale. He said, “Oh that’s why you wanted so many!” He then proceeded to unload NINE packages of hot dogs! I was surprised as I had originally written one package, then added another tally mark to indicate 2 packs. He misread that as me asking for 11 packs!!! We have laughed and laughed!! Needless to say we had lots of BBQ’d hot dogs last summer! 😂😂😂
Love this meal prepping!!!!! We go through a lot of canned tomatoes, too!
Pumpkin bread looks delicious. Love how your kids are so involved in the cooking. My grandkids love helping me out with cooking and baking. The lamb looks so good. Enjoyed your video. Love from the warm island of Guam 🌴 🏝️.
That was a lot of prepping but with so many people helping made it easy.
What we also like to doo with ground meat is stuffed peppers the composition is like for meat balls but you also add some rice in it.
Or without rice and make zucchini or eggplant stuffed halfs and they will look like boats put some cheese on top and some tomato juice inside the pan put it into oven fir 45 - 60 minutes and all done and vrey good.
I find myself writing down and trying the recipes that you and Solo make. Most things have been a hit! I want to try that sauce Solo cooked with Ox tails.
Pumpkin bread and muffins are great with choc chips stirred in too.
Yayy for meal prep! I've been doing it myself and even with just 2 kids...it helps so much! I love watching you guys cook, because you give me so many new recipe ideas. Another great video!
Thank you for the brown rice IP tips! I’ve struggled with that too!
I measure like Solo , you get used to how much you need ! You guys are the best .
Species are integral part of our indian cooking, in our kitchen we usually have " masala daani/masaldaani " which is a utensil consist of 5 to 6 mini cups of everyday species (cumin seeds, musterd seeds, chili powder turmeric powder, coriander powder ,asafetida and salt) which are staple in every Indian household. We even don't use garam masala on daily basis....
Love love ❤️
Sarah I made the vegetarian casserole. It was amazing. I ate it with fritos on the top. Thank you for sharing
I love your meal preps/grocery hauls! Binge watching you now because I need a break from watching the news.
I absolutely love that the kids help in the kitchen. Especially the guys. Such a useful skill to have and they’ll make some woman happy someday. ❤️ love your vlogs. The funny thing is for you guys 14 cans of tomatoes wouldn’t be unreasonable for a family your size. He tried 😂
Yummy 😋 Solo is a great husband, helping in the kitchen
More delicious looking food even if just prepped🤤. Sorry Sarah, but please never learn to edit out screams, your edits/commentary are to hilarious and are a staple in your videos😋🤣❤
Oh, canned stuff will last for a while! Love you guys being real and funny.
Wow great delicious pumpkin bread and Meal prep!!👍👍 Have a Great Weekend!!🌷🌷🌷
I Love these videos..It shows us that you are human and not just doing things for “ YT views” Life happens all the time each and every day. And you always make the best of it...It is just us 2 senior citizens, my husband and I . However whenever I decide to really cook things that take forever such like black eyed peas, collard greens, chili , lasagne or soup I make enough to freeze for at least 6 to 10 servings. My theory is , if I am going to cook something time consuming or special I might as well make enough for a few more meals.. Life hAppens to us all.Even with just 2 people it can be a Chore to find a meal..Keep doing what works and is best for You guys. We appreciate it to the utmost...P.S I love Lukas’s camera persona.🤗
Great meal prep video. Yea Luka... your pumpkin breads look yummy. It's the one thing I make with pumpkin. I usually use fresh pumpkin. Store bought or grown on our property. What fun though to have delicious pumpkin bread for breakfast each day!!!
You've inspired me to try meal prepping!
This inspires me to meal prep. It would help me out so much in this season! I saw that you prep smoothies for Solo and thought about prepping smoothie bowls in the freezer this summer to grab and go! Just have some fruit and granola in the fridge and mix it up when I am ready
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how involved your boys and husband are in traditionally women roles. Most youtube women only have their girls help with kitchen and cleaning stuff. It's so refreshing to see you raising sons who will know how to take care of themselves and their wives as well ❤️❤️
Your family is so charming! What a fantastic representation of a wonderful Christian family✝️ Thank You So Much for sharing your lives♥️♥️♥️
I love how real and true you are. That’s why I love your videos! #momlife
Great family!
Groovy how you all work your talents together for the good of great foods. Blessing watching you!!
