Judah is great, I can say that he always has a beautiful smile on his face.
He’s got the biggest smile.
I need a Judah in my house, the kid's amazing! 😃 Good job guys!
He’s a good one! I could do with a few myself 😂😂
Add brown rice, tomato soup, chillis tomatoes, corn, black beans,cheese, cumin , taco seasonings, chicken mixture layer in casserole dish top with more cheese cook on 400 till firm. Serve as tacos or nachos. I do my as lettuce for taco shells. Very very filling.
When my husband realized how much easier my pressure cooker made my life, he went out and got me the next two sizes down for Christmas 😂 So now I have an 8 qt, a 6 qt, and a 3 qt and I use them all the time. I thought he was crazy for buying me more than one but I'm so glad to have them when I do freezer cooking.
I have two and 8 qt and a 6 qt
I started meal prepping because I was eating out way to much. Definitely helped with that. I rarely eat out now :)
Oh Juda.......such a cute helper ❣️
I can relate with the I'd just have a salad comment! 😂😂😂Lol
I am always up for a salad or wrap especially in the summer. 🥗🥙🥗
I love these quick meal prep videos. 💜💜💜
LOVE YOUR FAMILY SO MUCH SO HAPPY FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS !!
Sarah, If you forget to thaw the meat, fill the sink with water, place the meats in their package in the water and it will thaw. In about 1/2 hour you are ready to go. I do this all the time.
The meals look so tasty. I love seeing the kiddos helping out with the meals and baby.
I make a mung bean stew made with coconut milk, goes so well with grilled fish and white rice! Like one lady mentioned earlier; you need a binder for the meat to make it easier to form, bread crumbs will do it :)
Chicken tacos in instant pot: i add a small can of mild green chilis, extra cumin and some brown sugar. The kids devour it. I know you don't do sugar, but the extra cumin and chiles. maybe extra water to keep it from burning in the pressure cooker.
Judah is a wonderful young man you are bless with Him and all your beautiful children ✝️🇺🇸🙏🏽❤️🌹🔯☮️
Thanks for sharing. Great meal prep video. Luca is a great chef. Seth is getting really big. Happy Tuesday!
Hi Sarah love all your videos you really inspired me in so many ways I have been meal prepping for a little while now just four people but it has saved me a great deal of time so thankyou when I first messaged you I told you I started reading the bible again now have gone back to church again trough you inspiration I thank our Lord each day for finding you and your beautiful family sending lots of love and prayers and blessings to you all 🥰🇦🇺
Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!❤️❤️❤️
All the meals look delicious. I don't know how you do it Sarah, cooking for 11 people is no easy task. I love your videos, you inspired me to continue with my youtube channel.
We added people one at a time. That helps!! 🤣
Its easy when you are organized to do it. I cooked for a living for almost 30 years , 300 meals by myself, organization is the key and Sarah and Solo have it together alng with help from older kids.
I have that same burger former. If you use burger that is very cold out of the refrigerator less sticking. Plus definitely parchment paper. The key is very cold burger not just defrosed out of the microwave. Love watching your family.
We do Mayo n paparika smeared on fish pref salmon and the slice a lemon and steam them in foil. Omg so good!!!
I've been vegan for 2 years now, and I'm so glad to hear your family is giving it a try! Theres a whole other flavor town so many people don't know about until they try going vegan. UA-cam and Instagram are a great recourse to find recipes outside of the normal vegan alternatives.
A rule my family has for the kitchen is never have a one use tool, normally they take up more space than they do save time.
I always find myself saying hi to the kids out loud lol.. love your family
I love your meal prepping videos!!!! I’d love to see more of them! :)
With the burgers, you may need a binder like you would in a meat loaf to help it all come together
We also add one packet of taco seasoning mix in with the chicken and salsa and it’s delicious! Can be made into chicken tacos, nachos, burritos etc! ❤️
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. so many memories, graduated as RN from bRYAN IN 56 back in 2006. Great changes!
I need to get on the meal prepping train. I now have inspiration and motivation. Tfs!
We also do parm and mayo over dish, but I use creole seasoning as well. SO GOOD.
Creamy salsa chicken is a kid favorite at my home. I just do chicken thighs, mild salsa and cream cheese in the crock pot and cook it for 4-6 hours. My boys like it with sour cream and cheese on a tortilla. I enjoy it with ranch, tomato and lettuce. It is always so good the next day.
Good morning Sarah and tribe! Have a wonderful day :)
Good morning...afternoon to you!
I do the fish mixture topping on chicken! Put spinach on the bottom, then chicken, and put sour cream, mayo, and parm mix on top and all done! So yummy and keto.
Seth is just a mini solo 😂
Judah...grate some onions, tomatoes, Worcestershire sause, salt , pepper, garlic and the secret ingredient dryed bread crumbs. Kneed it like dough it will bind the ground beef and make perfect pressed burgers...if you have spice for mince where you live...add that in aswell before you kneed or mix.
Yes! Bread crumbs and/or an egg will keep them from falling apart.
Ground flax seed will too. I don’t like bread crumbs in my hamburger patties. Changed the texture for me. I use egg and flax. Plus Montreal Steak seasoning that I get at Sams. Would love onion in it but picky kids .
My mom always said buy good Hamburg and don’t play with it too much. Don’t add anything but salt and pepper
With all that added why not just make a meatloaf and stick it on a bun.
@@thenestingplace357, YES! Montreal Steak Seasoning is FABULOUS!
I just love watching you!! You are very inspirational!
Love watching your family! Going to try your fish recipe with the topping! Judah is getting so tall! I thought wow he just got that off top shelf! He must be over 6ft now!
Judah is so sweet!
Chicken tacos look like a hit with cream cheese.😋Thank you Sarah.Big hugs.🙏❣️
Started watching when you first started 🤓 Every time I come on I see your follower numbers has gone up and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS! Love watching you. Thanks for sharing.
Great prep!! Enjoy all you made!!
love the meal prep& meal ideas☺️
Your chicken tacos looked delicious. My family is small but meal prep definitely still helps. Thanks for the tips.
Chicken tacos in my house: chicken, ranch packet, taco seasoning, onion, peppers, and chicken broth. So so good!
That sounds amazing!
Never added the ranch packet will try
YES TO THE RANCH PACKET!! I add a tablespoon or two of hidden valley ranch seasoning to almost every crockpot meal I make.. it just seasons it so well and doesnt even taste ranch-y to me... and I typically omit the salt and then just salt to taste at the end if it needs it.
Sounds good, but taco seasoning plus a ranch packet is a TON of salt - if you use the name brand packets that's over 4,400mg of sodium!!!
Yum!
If you put an egg or 2 in your ground beef the burgers will form alot better.
lisah126 or, a little breadcrumbs will be good too.
@@EkAks for mine I do an egg, a little breadcrumb and a little milk. But when I used to do just an egg it still worked great.
lisah126 Yeah, whatever that works is good.
Eggs and bread crumbs make meatloaf.
Randi MacDonald you’re right. Meatloaf has more seasonings and vegetables added.
Love watching your videos. I have got so many ideas from your meals. Have a great day
I have had the chicken and it’s good . It’s great to have extra hands to help. Love your videos and your little ones.❤️
Stems from broccoli are great in vegetable soup. Freeze them until you are ready to use them. Add tomatoes to the Mayo for the fish. You gave me some great ideas. All looks good.
Another one! Yay!
Great video! You should save the stems from the broccoli and use it in soups. All the receipts good great
Sarah I love your recipes you are very talented you are a blessing to your family
Judah, if you want to make quarter pound burgers. Put a quarter pound of meat in the press. Figure out how many pounds you’ll need to feed your family then divide buy four. Use wax paper on the top too. Good luck!
You’re amazing. Investing in children is investing in the future and building our future society. You’ve got great helpers and you’re even feeding them healthy meals.
Sarah and Solo are awesome parents and people in general. Words can't say just how amazing they are. Xx
Super excited for your vegan week!!!
I love to meal prep. Makes dinner so easy.
Love the channel. Your delicious looking meals made me finally break down and get an instant pot.
Loved 😍
You have inspired me to meal prep, I find, as a teacher, after a long day of work I am often too tired to cook so meal prepping will be helpful. Also love that tilapia recipe and broccoli salad, might try this week!
The chicken tacos look delicious! All the meal preps look great! Thanks for sharing! 😊👍💕💕💕
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.
"You want me to read directions?" 🤣 Sarah, you are a joy to me. You speak to my soul in all of your quirky and unique ways. Your channel has grown so much and it is due to your genuine nature. Have a blessed day!
And to all our faithful subscribers😍
If you put parchment paper on the top and the bottom of the burger press it works very well. I have a burger press and I usually put the parchment paper on the top and the bottom and no sticking. 😊
Everything looks great!! 💖
I buy the papers for the patty press. It helps with clean-up, and the papers keep the burgers from sticking together.
Hello ..I was watching some of yalls old videos and found one when Noelle was 8 mts old lol all the kids was. So little Judah and Belle all of them so PRECIOUS... Love yalls family
omg so excited for the vegan week! you will not regret it. i always power clean or cook during your videos, makes me feel like i have family around me ☺️
You have a wonderful family!
Great video!!! Hey judah, i have a tip for you when using the hamburger press. Place parchment on both sides. The meat will stick to the parchment. Leave the parchment on each burger.
Can I just say you have the most amazing radiant smile. I love your channel.
Make the ground beef cold by putting it in the fridge. Colder the better. Then use a precut square wax paper on each side. Put them back in the fridge til ready to use or freeze them flat. Then you can stack them up once they are frozen and bag them up in a bread bag/similar or portion out and vacuum seal them. Works great!
I just love your videos!! I’m feeling inspired to dive into my InstaPot way more!! Thanks a million Sarah!! Blessings and hugs from Reynoldsburg, Ohio n my family to yours-Shalom

Here is my chicken taco recipe! My kids love it!
In the crockpot - 8-10chicken thighs(feeds 10), 2 cans black beans, and 2 bags frozen corn. fill bottom of crock pot with chicken broth/bone broth, shake in taco seasoning and turn on high for 5-6 hours ish. shred the chicken/stir it all up! We eat in with tortilla chips or on taco shells!
I too love salads,it's the easiest thing ever. I do a loaded salad(adding whatever you love)in it,it's very filling.
Thanks for the chicken tacos idea I will be doing that recipe 😋
I notice you make your broccoli salad often. One thing you may want to try is using a food processor to chop up those stem pieces that are your scrap pile you always have left over to make a broccoli slaw or salad as well. It is really delicious and a great way not to waste. I get the same bags out at Sam's. I use the chopped up processed broccoli in a salad *trimmings from 2 bags) we add 1-3 Large Quartered tomatoes or about 1 Cup Cherry or Grape Tomato 1-2 large chopped green apples , 1/4 C dried cranberry, and a bag of super fine or angel hair shredded coleslaw cabbage mix.. I add in a handful of extra shredded carrots if the mix did not have enough. Then we dress it either depending on our mood...we have 2 go to dressings...creamy curry dressing or a tangy sour dressing. Our sour dressing make is 1/4 C horseradish, brown, or Dijon mustard (your preference), 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar, Cilantro (Optional), and 1/3 C Olive Oil all combined...the creamy is 1 C Mayo or Vegan Mayo (your preference), 1T- 2T (your favorite) Curry Powder or Paste, 1/8 (each) tsp ground garam masala & cardamom (optional but the flavor that makes our's unique), 2T Lemon Juice, 2T Dijon Mustard ... Mix dressing ahead of time and dress salad no 1- 2 hours before serving
I always eyeball everything but these are guesses about the amounts I use on most everything, in case anyone wants to try this or any variation of it. We have actually added cooked, grilled chicken to the curry version and made chicken salad out of it for a light summer time dinner before too. If you are curried chicken salad fans, it will be a hit.
I Am Going To Have Lunch And Have A Good Tuesday Afternoon.
Shred your broccoli stems. Omg love the stem!!
My mom always used a hamburger press, the old school type. When she would buy several pounds of ground chuck she would make all of the meat up and freeze it in patties. Those patties are much easier to thaw out than a big hunk of meat. She would cook the meat in various dishes. Be sure to use the wax paper.
When I do tacos, whether it be with ground beef or chicken I like to add brown rice, and sometimes even some beans. I like few ingredients and then just cheese and sour cream. Judah helps you quite a bit. Its always nice to see a boy turning into a man. And he's going to make some woman very happy. Because there are not to many who will go grocery shopping for their mom, cook and clean. Etc. Actually all of your kids are so good and so helpful to you
Oh man. Salsa chicken!!! I make mine in the crockpot as I don’t have a pressure cooker, but I’m sure you can adapt it easily. Throw a couple chicken breasts, can of fire roasted corn, can of black beans, 24oz jar any salsa (or more or less depending on your preference), can add a can of fire roasted tomatoes or a cut onion if you want. Cook on high 4 hours or low 6. Shred the chicken. Add a block of cream cheese until softened. I eat mine with a spoon and too either shredded cheese and diced avocado, but can fill tortillas, mix with rice, eat with tortilla chips, etc. so good!
Put wax paper or parchment paper under the meat and another sheet over the meat to keep from sticking. I’ve used 2 small salad plates and pressed the meat between them using wax paper for years. Much easier than that gadget and easier to clean up. The thickness of the patty depends on hard hard you press the top plate down.
You can also make enchiladas out of the chicken filling😋
Judah is awesome!
Ty for the great ideas
You can peel your Broccoli stems to expose the tender stem, chop it and add to your florets to stretch the veg. I find once peeled, the stems are sweet and add a really nice texture. :)
The burger papers help with getting the burgers off press. Plus nice to use to make patties in advance. 👍
Looks great.
Hi from ND, with the Hamburger press, cut waxed paper into squares, 1 for bottom 1 for top , it will work better. Hope it helps. Love your Channel.❤️👍🏻
Dollarama DollarTree have recut wax paper for hamburgers😉🇨🇦
I work in a restaurant. We use only fresh burger and patty our own patties. What we do is take a 4oz ball of burger. Ball it up pretty tight. Then we put it on a piece of waxed parchment and put another piece on top. Then smash it down with a plate. You have to push down on the plate pretty hard and try to keep it even.
I lol when you said “mustard”....kids are so funny 🤣 Love these videos ❤️👍🏻
Hi Sarah. A tried and true favorite for tilapia in our house...do what you did, but use crushed salt and vinegar potato chips on top of the mayo mixture on top of the fish and bake. SO GOOD! Weird sounding, I know...but so good!
Great video and great meal prep ideas. Love your channel! ❤ I don't think that hamburger press is going to save you time or money lol...poor Judah 😅
I’ll have to try the parm with the mayo on fish. We really love mayo and dill on salmon.
When I make salsa chicken I put corn and black beans and a packet of taco seasoning in while I cook, too! Yum!
Putting sour cream with the salsa after the chicken is cooked is a good way to extend the budget. You usually only need a cup of your cream or less for that one jar of salsa instead of a complete container of cream cheese. The cream cheese also mellows out the spiciness of the salsa for people with sensitive tongues or stomachs. Looks like a good meal.
🤔🤔 adding the burger express and patty papers to my cart. It gave me several burger meal ideas👌
We purchase "patty paper" which is pre`cut wax paper squares for our hamburger press and freeze them flat on a cookie sheet. Once frozen about 24 hours we place our frozen hamburger patties in an empty bread bag and its so convenient to pop them out one or ten at a time to cook up. )
I do the mayo/Parmesan mix often but I add mustard. So good!
All your kids play piano fabulous
Everything looks so yummy thanks so much
Green Lentils instead of meat is our go to for tacos. Cook the lentils till tender, then add taco seasoning usually use one packet of taco seasoning for (1 cup of dried lentils) I add water to just incorporate the seasoning maybe like a quarter of cup and just cook that off in a couple minutes. Really good in burritos too.
ahhh Sarah you didn’t wash the mung beans again! 😂😂 Solo always washes them
😜😳
😂😂😂 I was laughing at that too. I have the same package and I find some foreign bits in mine.
Well,she said they're surviving in spite of it. 😆
Add a binder to you hamburger meat holds it together an egg or bread crumbs
FYI when you defrost the hamburger it is hard to make patties. It holds water. So pat dry then make burgers.
Why vegan for a week?
Make cream of broccoli soup with stems.
stick the stems in the freezer till you have about 1/2 to a gallon for the awesome idea of cream of broccoli soup
You can also slice the stems very thin and put them in your salad.
That’s a fab idea! I never thought about saving them for that!
Hi Tribe of Many🌻I really like the meal prep videos. While watching your prep today, made me want chicken salsa too. Lol Have a wonderful day tribe🌸 Oh Seth is growing to fast! Slow down mister😊
