Girl you just saved me…am a new mom and am feeling very overwhelmed with everything in addition with everything else especially cooking and just thinking of cooking every other day😖 i am definitely inspired and will be implementing this method. Thank you thank you
Meal prepping for family really is a life saver. And its saves money too. I normally make a massive pot of stew and then freeze it portions for chicken stew, jollof rice, jollof pasta, etc. I also batch cook rice and freeze on the day in portions. It comes out nice after defrosting and heating it up from frozen. In fact I batch cook a lot of foods and freeze them 😁
Wow, you're so hard working, honestly. I remember when you we're pregnant with Ace you were so consistent here on UA-cam. This is amazing I'll try to be as hardworking as you
Good job you've done. There're partitioned bowls which you can get from the shop. They're better than the single bowls. With the partitioned one, you can separate the food types into their sections
Oh yes dear. Dishing the food is another stress altogether so I prefer to portion it immediately so everyone can just go and pick up when they’re hungry.
My life changed since I became consistent on meal preps, I don't know the stress of worrying about food everyday after work. I have two lunch boxes and dinner prepared everyday yes I prep on Sundays. It wasn't easy when I started, I had to be honest with myself and buy more of veggies that I love. (YES I AM PLANT BASED)
Great idea, but for single like me,i cook everyday cuz i don't have fridge yet and i don't really eat out so i cook everyday.weldone ma for all you do for your family
Oh yes my dear. I use to leave them in big containers and when I do, I still have to dish. So I just decided to get the plates and portion everything. Everyone can go and have a plate.
This could have made my life easier if we could eat food in the fridge after 3 days but everything is thrown in the trash after 3 days because we think it has changed the taste. Cooking daily can be tiresome at times
@@DarlingWheresthecoffee i do freeze, may be its just in our heads coz we always feel it taste a bit different and we end up throwing it away so to avoid waist, i cook almost daily eish
Oh my dear, that is entirely tiring. I can’t even begin to tell you the mental stress of always thinking of what to cook before I started batch cooking. We don’t have that problem In my home. Food is still very fresh after 4days.
@@agmik4767 Yup. It's all in your head. Even restaurants prep and freeze food. When you eat out, your food is mostly defrosted and reheated. It's ridiculous to cook every day.
Love this, I definitely can relate to how stressed I feel when I have to think about meals for my family. ✅✅I absolutely love how normal and realistic your meals are. I can definitely do this. I definitely think breakfast is easier. I might only meal prep dinner. But have a weekly meal plan for breakfast and lunch.
I can never eat a day old omelette...and bread with egg stored, then the oil from the egg soaks the bread? No thanks, not for breakfast...why not leave the bread out and just add when you are about to eat? Breakfast is the easiest meal to cook
Thanks for the tips! The lunch and dinner will be very useful for my household. My kids will not eat breakfast if not freshly made, now I am teaching them to make easy breakfast
For some weird reasons I love to watch food videos but this right hear is heavenly and helpful especially as I would soon resume my 9-5 work like is going to be so helpful and thank God where I live thank God the electricity is a bit okay!!! Every meal prep here looks delicious thank you so so much for always giving healthy tips..love love it
Thank you very much for this, I resuming work in a month and I’ve been thinking and looking for videos like this, I saw more oyibo people food prep or food prep for people in Nigeria. I batch cook lunch like jollof rice or fried rice and there’s always soup in the freezer so I just have to pick few things from here and spice up my routine🙂thank you this was helpful ❤️😘
Thanks so much for sharing 💖😊 you're giving me good ideas I love how you make sure your family gets meals all week long so you want have get fast food 🙌 there's like caring for your family
This is a norm in my house growing up. My mum always cooked in batch during the weekend. Luckily, no one selects food in my house. Living alone now in another country (Australia) , it has saved my life as a student that works full time and still do UA-cam 🥺. As far as the food is frozen, I'm good
This is very amazing tips… only i wish my husband can allow me to cook food way in advance. He like fresh food still convincing him 🤣🤣🤣 but no there yet but after having my first born, work, business and family i really need food prep in advance but this Nigerian man of mine he will rather cook himself. Only live food for 2-3days in the fridge
My food prep is just for Mon-Friday. Ofcourse I don’t work during the weekend so I cook fresh meals. I totally understand you. Always cooking everyday is tiring honestly 😩
You can cook like 3-4 soups and put it in freezer inter-change your soups everyday so it won't look repeating everyday.then the only thing you will do everyday is the swallow or rice..easy peasy.
Waoo when I needed idea for meal prep that rice is so on point and I love the idea how you did the chicken it will be so easy for the kids to eat starting meal prep this week 😋👌
Very beautiful ideas Omabelle..will try these...I have a question though.are smoothies not supposed to be consumed immediately since they use fresh fruits?
This is the first time I have stop by to watch what you cook looks really good. Best of all is the concept of meal prep and not having to think what shall we have today/tomorrow . I love love the containers. Any tips for best place to buy those type? Thanks for sharing 👍🏽🇯🇲
Great video. So to help you with your pancake, use a hand blender to stir it instead of a spoon, It will make your life easier trust me. Be careful the first time as it can splash but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
Meal prep is great but it definitely not for me. Thinking of the fact I have it in the fridge makes it tiring for me to eat lol weird right. I love me some Egusi and pounded yam but wouldn’t put it together in one plate if am not eating immediately, due to the fact that it will soak all the juice from the soup.
Omabelle you are such an asset to ur family, beauty who cooks well multi talented. You have inspired me to make some weekly meal prep tho my kids are terrible with eating 😅. ❤️🇱🇷
this woman is serving great content! and honestly, you're inspiring. I'm South African and love jolof rice...now I've seen how you cook it. Amazing content, Always! 😉😘
Great video and right on time for me. we always have stews, vegetables and other foods pre-made but when it comes to fufu my husband likes it hot and fresh, re-heating fufu is a No no in our home lol xx
For me I make the poundo yam immediately I want to eat it,because when you microwave it it turns out like matched potatoes while eating.but that’s fine thumbs up for you always.
Weldone @Omabelle. I love you and I love your channel so much. I watch your videos all the time and I learn so much from them. Your videos are always inspiring and it makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing and thanks for being consistent on UA-cam. You’re easily my favourite family and lifestyle UA-cam Content Creator. Weldone 🙌🏾😘😘😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing. Nice video and yr a good cook. Quick question: The video title says meal prep for 1 week but i noticed the lunch n dinners was for two days only. Did I miss something? Or do you cook other food as well but just didnt vlog it.
Weldon Oma I really enjoyed this particular video maybe because I love food. I enjoy watching every of your content, you are an all rounder and I love that. Am learning so much from you and taking notes 😊
My hubby never wants to see chicken in his soup. Lol so its kpomo, beef with the skin. I'm so lucky I have a butcher who takes his time to roast the meat for me naija way. Fresh fish as well. My kids do cereals egg n hot dot in the morning so its an easy fix. I and hubby don't do breakfast regularly. I don't ever. My hubby don't like spag and loves lice one in a while lol. Such a picky guy. I make juice for them as well. Soup last for 5 to 6 days. Fried chicken always available, avocadoes and wraps. Beans and plantains, sweet potatoes etc. God BLESS mums. Not easy at all.
You have definitely inspired me!!! 😍 Especially with the smoothies!!! I have a question how many days is the smoothie good for after you make it and place it in the fridge?
Omabelle . You nailed It with this video. I will try and teach my kids to enjoy Freezer Frozen meal. This will give me ample time to do other things or better still Will porto work more on UA-cam.
Wow I love this, tomorrow in the kitchen I must do it ❤️❤️ who is with me
I’m with you dearie. It’s Saturday and am about to start in a few minutes 😂😩 11am

Wow thank you 🙏
Girl you just saved me…am a new mom and am feeling very overwhelmed with everything in addition with everything else especially cooking and just thinking of cooking every other day😖 i am definitely inspired and will be implementing this method. Thank you thank you

@@ilerioluwakinshiladipo-dan5493 maybe he works very hard?
This is just what i do every Friday, Cook for the week for my family. And I love cooking for them, my happiness is in the kitchen

Do you thaw the jollof rice before microwaving or just microwave straight from freezer
Wow, you're so hard working, honestly. I remember when you we're pregnant with Ace you were so consistent here on UA-cam. This is amazing I'll try to be as hardworking as you
This will really make it so easy … you won’t have enter the kitchen all the time…
Growing up it’s usually swallow in the afternoon too
My dear, I don’t enter the kitchen except for the weekends.
Yes! Meal prepping has saved my life! I eat healthier as well when I meal prep. ❤️
Good job you've done. There're partitioned bowls which you can get from the shop. They're better than the single bowls. With the partitioned one, you can separate the food types into their sections
This is so helpful....having to prep your food and I love how you portioned everything in a plate which will make it so easy to pick.
Oh yes dear. Dishing the food is another stress altogether so I prefer to portion it immediately so everyone can just go and pick up when they’re hungry.

How do you store please?? In the fridge or freezer?
You're a hardworking and caring mom. I like the way you cut the onions and tomatoes with precision
I live alone but I LOVE these types of videos from you!!! You have me wanting to meal prep again
We now know your fav meals..
Jolof rice,Egusu soup!!!
Receive lots of love from Kenya..
Been salivating all video
Great idea, but for single like me,i cook everyday cuz i don't have fridge yet and i don't really eat out so i cook everyday.weldone ma for all you do for your family
Me too.
I'm definitely getting some containers to pack the foods because I only cook in bulk but have not bothered packing them like you did. Well done
Oh yes my dear. I use to leave them in big containers and when I do, I still have to dish. So I just decided to get the plates and portion everything.
Everyone can go and have a plate.
This could have made my life easier if we could eat food in the fridge after 3 days but everything is thrown in the trash after 3 days because we think it has changed the taste. Cooking daily can be tiresome at times
If you freeze the food it’ll remain fresh

Bravo girl💪🏾🤎
For me I make the poundo yam immediately I want to eat it,because when you microwave it it turns out like matched potatoes while eating.but that’s fine thumbs up for you always.
You can also reheat it by wrapping in foil and placing in a pot with water to bring to a slight boil (maybe like 10 min)...
Wow I actually enjoyed this
Oma I love a good Smoothie that's why I add everything I also love a good breakfast pancakes sausages and scramble eggs ♥️😊

Separate fruit from food for quick and easy heating

Everything looks Delicious 🤤 Great tip ❤️❤️
Wow very nice, this will definitely make the kitchen work very very easy
But how do I get the measurement in other to get it right
Quick question, does the food stay fresh for those 7 days? That's why I haven't tried meal prep yet... Thank you
Mostly 3-5 days especially if your meal prep involves more vegetables. For vegetables best to grill them so they last that long
You make every thing look easy oma💗💗
Notification gang happy thursday
