    Lauren, I think I've become better at organizing & time management thanks to you:) One of the things that really helps me out is batch cooking. There are busy days that I don't feel like cooking. I can come home and just take something that's been pre-portioned out of the freezer. Hello to Enzo and all of your adorable pets:)

    Quick go to meals in the crockpot or Instant Pot would be my go tos for family dinners. Also, double recipes and freeze for another dinner!

    Hi Lauren! First off I love your videos, I watch them after my 5 month old goes down for the night and it definitely inspires me. I have four kids so I definitely can relate to the hustle of trying to juggle everything. I have 3 teens and a newborn so I try to prep out as much as possible in advance. I’ll make big batches of pancakes and freeze them and when I need them just pop them in the toaster. As well as making egg muffins for the mornings and freezing them. We’ve being doing a lot of bowls lately like a Greek bowl, bbq chicken bowl, fajita bowl and buffalo chicken bowl. I do a big batch of quinoa and prep out all the veggies for the week then I can just easily switch up what bowl to do since everything is all ready to go! Saves a ton of time during the week and it’s really healthy since there is healthy grains and tons of veggies. You can definitely do vegetarian as well with roasted veggies bowls. Hope that helps ❤️☺️

    Love how you say “I don’t have time to make my own sauce”….um duh. 🤣 I don’t know how you have time to make lasagna. The dog is killing me. He’s like “I’m 84, you know where to find me if you need me”. And the “I love you” is everything. 💖

    Hi to Enzo! So cute! Lauren, I'm exhausted just watching you move about through so much! God Bless you my doll! I remember those days, as my kids are grown now, but you truly are a fantastic mom! I ran around doing so much to keep "normalcy" in the home and just to keep that calm when the kids got home! I know what you do is absolutely amazing and takes so much out of a truly great mom! Thanks for sharing and letting us into your world!

    CrockPot is a lifesaver.... I sprinkle dried parsley on top of the NON Meat Side of my Lasagne, so my meatless daughter knows which is plain! So what is your motivation/inspiration, for a calm, stress free home, tidy, clean, organized, re-sets, decorated so beautifully, themed out for Valentines, St. Pats, Easter,... the lists, the perfect meals,...I see that you mention that it's so important for your kids- -so they are not stressed and know where everything is, and that it is all ready for them....Just wondering if your childhood was this blessed, as you are providing such a blessed home for your own children! I agree that a calm organized home, is a calm organized mind!... That is also the way I roll!

    Great video Lauren!!! I typically cook dinner for the week on Sundays. I make 2 proteins and 1 side like rice of Mac and cheese. It’s enough to last until Friday. I will make vegetables every day because I don’t like reheating vegetables.
    My husband also handles mornings and I do evenings because I leave for work at 5:30am.

    We are empty nesters and the cooking change but when my granddaughters come they love my rice and chicken but I don't like big pieces I shred the chicken and add a lot of vegetables sometimes add shrimp with a Latin Savor

    Hi Lauren,
    I love using my slow cooker, I put everything in it whatever the recipe calls for.
    I'll start it at 7:00 am. Set it for 8 hours
    Dinner is ready at 2pm.
    I'll keep it on warm,and I'll have dinner around 4. Also get rotisserie chicken and cut it up, serve veggies with it.
    Great video !

  • @katliven

    My tip would be to use the crockpot on extra busy days, or buy ready made in bulk at Sams or Costco and then just heat up in the oven. Saves both time and money and cleanup.

    That lasagna looks amazing. I totally get the kitchen cleaning. It's like you clean it only to mess it up a few times a day. Often times I clean it two times and then after dinner am just too tired so I let it soak overnight and do it the next day.

    I make a veggie and chicken air fryer meals a lot. Also, every time I make a meal like lasagna, I make a double batch- so there is a pan for dinner and 1 to 2 pans in the freezer. I do this with everything! Chili, soup, all casseroles! Easy healthy freezer meals that my kid/husband can put in the oven after school/work. Tacos are another easy weeknight meal.
