EVERY THING WE'RE EATING READY. BECAUSE AFTER WORK
I GET HOME EXHAUSTED.
"...with a just a little bit of soy sauce."
me: oh ok soy sauce is good-OH MY LORD THAT IS NOT A LITTLE BIT
SAME lol
Chris Richards congrats
my only suggestion is to use a low sodium soy sauce if you are going to use that much soy sauce.
🤣
I thought the SAME THING!!! xD
I’ve made every single one of these recipes and they all were a big hit! I now need a Part II!
Omg these dishes are so beautiful! I LOVE ALL veggies so that’s a plus. I’m so glad I found your channel, you give beautiful, healthy but yet easy quick meals. These will be perfect for me to prepare for work throughout the weeks. Thank you SO much for these delicious recipes!!!

I think you are doing a fantastic job,the meals look great and the video so professional but could you include how many meals each one makes, what kind of containers you use and where you got them, do they go in fridge or freezer, best way to reheat and how long etc
It all looks so good!

I really enjoyed the style meal prep you did with this one!! I love that everything is healthy and delicious and it all fits in one container which is really practical for fitting into a lunch box. When I pack my lunch it's usually for one container as well (easier that way) .You are my favorite cooking channel on UA-cam . Not only because of the food but also your personality it's so light and playful and happy. Looking forward to seeing another one of these !!! Can u do another one of your snack boxes for lunch?? 🙌🏼

I don't mind cooking but having two kids to feed sometimes it's just too much. I really needed some ideas. Thank you
Those meatballs look amazing! The pineapple is a great idea with turkey. Our kids love the sweet and spicy combo. We love putting baked meatballs in school lunches. I batch cook some on Sundays and use them all week. Thanks!!

Thank you for adding the recipe in the description. This is the first meal prep video I've watched today that did this
All these lunch meals looks so good and are very creative ideas! I like how there are a variety of flavors and ingredients! Thanks fir posting!
I love it, especially the Chinese and Mexican options.
Awesome!! I hope you'll give them a try!
That's racist

I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos!
My good Lord your food look sooooooooo much more delicious than those in many other meal prep videos! Your meals are REAL food and simple and healthy, too! Please do more videos like this!
The Quinoa Stir Fry changed my life! I love it so much 😍😍
How would you recommend storing and reheating meal preps?
those meatballs look so good omg
Thanks!
I literally love the meals. Definitely going to try them out
I'm preparing to go back to work after summer break. I will definitely try some of these for lunch meal prep.
Can you do the same but breakfast, because in my country we don't say in school for lunch .
Om nom nom ^^ I really needed some of this :)
I like how balanced your meals look! Can't wait to try them!
I just cried a little for how great this all is. Spectacular
I too am wondering how well these meals keep over the week. And doesn’t the cucumber and tomato salad release a bunch of liquid and make the rest of the meal all mushy? And please don’t suggest that these meals should be frozen.
I know this is a random question, but what size glass containers are you using?
These are great meal ideas! Healthy, delicious, and easy to make! Thank you so much for sharing and making it so pleasant to learn!
Literally the video I hoped to find when I searched! Thanks! Great ideas, great delivery and quality!
WHY IS PURPLE FOOD CALLED, "RED"?!?
MeMeGirl 0704 I was thinking of this the other day and concluded that it’s because the prime color to make purple is red (more red then blue) so they just call it red
Ruthy Colon Thanks
Blue is a prime color too, and red and blue make purple
Blue is the prime color is make green but we don't call it blue lettuce
MeMeGirl 0704 u loo p
Thank you!!!❤️
These all look AMAZING! Thank you for sharing them with us!
I love your videos!! They are all so informative and easy to make. Thank you for making a meal prep video. This definitely gives me a variety from just my basic chicken and steam veggies.
Do you eat it cold?
She just done my whole weeks food money making a meatball
OMG! This is by far "my"most favorite video! All the flavors ! All the meals!! Absolutely love it! Love it love it!! Thanks you!
I made the meatballs and salad for dinner today and it was amazing!! Everyone enjoyed!
More of such recipes please :)
Do you have any nutritional info for these meal preps? I try to keep my lunch preps under 600 calories for my diet and would love to add these recipes to my rotation
I don't understand how everything can be prepped on Sunday for the week, will it not go off in the fridge by the time you get to Friday? How do you keep it fresh??!
Use tight containers
I did some meal prep for college and I used an old mini fridge (no freezer) for all my meals they were still good by the end of the week, uncooked vegetables like lettuce or slaw wilted a little but it wasn’t too much of an issue for me.
@Miranda Marie yes, cause food taste so much better after it's been frozen 🙄
@Miranda Marie Thanks for replying😘😉 enjoy frozen food♥️
@@ashanti3260 yep the key is to use tight lids. Mine last min through Thursday and weekends are free for me
Ive been making my black bean salad exactly the same way for years...i knew i loved your channel for a reason! Lol
Thanks for the great recipes and ideas!!
OMG, finally some healthy food that is packed with flavours!! You have inspired me to try your recipes!
Gotta say them meatballs look delicious...has anyone tried making them yet?
I tried and it’s delicioso 😋
I made the meatball ones,it’s supperrrrr good and flavorful. But if your not very spice tolerant like I am then cut down the amount of sriracha sauce.
I was just wondering what containers you use and if plastic ones will work fine? Love this video by they way! Very helpful x
Agnieszka Rądrakowska thank you very much x
JudiMD thank you for your help!
Hi i try your peppers Cas roll cottage pie and they turned out tatsti good
Looks amazing. Love the fresh ingredients. Will give this recipe a try.
I am new to your channel and I just left the Dr office where I knew he would say you have to get under a 30 BMI and we need to get you cholesterol down and Blood pressure. I am so glad I found your channel. I’m already growing in the garden now I have to find healthy meal preps. I know for sure I could do many of your meal preps in this video. I will be binging for sure for others and getting healthier on my channel. Thank you so much this may save my life
It would be awesome if you include the macros on every meal !!
Hi Iza! Great idea! I'll see what I can do.
The Domestic Geek thank you for answer!!!
What are macros?
It's short for macronutrients (protein, fat and carbs) :)
Imagine the smell of your office after heating the salmon 😂
Anyways this the first time seeing a video that actually made me want to prepare my food, thanks a lot
I don't know how you manage to keep creating interesting and delicious meal preps but dear lord, KEEP EM COMIN!!!
Still watching in 2021. These are Awesome meals. Thanks for posting them!❤️
Is quinoa a substitute for rice?
Kaylee Baker It's an alternative :)
Rachelina thank you ❤️️
Kailei Baker its higher in protein a lot
I enjoy watching her videos.. I dont make anything I watch though lol...
I need to start...
I just subscribed. Love how you explained how to make the dishes. They look great and simple to make. I can't wait to see what else you have on your channel.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for these awesome recipes! I made the cucumber/tomato feta salad and I totally fell in love with it. I'll be for sure trying out all the other recipes you've shown in the video! :)
What containers do you use for meal prep?
Hi Rebecca. Those containers are actually from Ikea :)
Rebecca Krueger I asked that quiestion 2 someone else they have meal prep containers on Amazon .. the ones shes using are just glass with a top but u are suspose to let food cool first before u put it in a container
How do you make the Greek tzakiki ?
The first white lady to add seasoning lol
Kel C if they know how to properly cook, white people will add seasoning
Seasoning other than parika, garlic powder and salt you mean. Lmao
I'm drooling just watching this! SO excited to try these!!
They all look amazing!
How often should you meal prep? Looks like you made enough to last the whole week but sounds too good to be true as far as the food staying safe enough to eat, especially with the fish. Just curious since I'm new to this 😅
_Serenity it’s more realistic if you prep for 3 days. Longer than that the food either goes bad (the veggies) or it just gets stale
This was a year ago but freeze it or prep for half a week (3-4days) for better taste (microwaving takes away from flavor)
Please do lobster mac n cheese please
Nsar stafeenee I'm pretty sure she's already done one
Hannah Plas she did mac n cheese but i dont think with lobster
She has! Check her mac and Cheese 3 ways!
RandomnessLOL thank u
Nsar stafeenee u
I love your channel always so helpful and straight to the point ❤️
Your Fajita Recipe is so good and the water tip saved my day
How you reheat the box with the salad inside....... .?
I hate Putting salads in my prep meals, i have to remove them for reheat everything else and is a mess
I pack my salad in a smaller container (usually a 1 cup size bowl with a lid) and the add it to my main container after I've reheated the contents in it. I hate heating up my salads and this method helps me to avoid that.
Nadia Ramirez are you stupid or what?
Nadia Ramirez + Nadia ? You remove the salad re heat the meal and add the salad back. It can't take more than 2 minutes of your time... Or even easier ? put salad in smaller container..this will help.
Nadia Ramirez ?
Nadia Ramirez I hear you. I just want to pop my container in the microwave and eat, and not have to worry about finding a whole other container to spoon the salad out with. Ugh. I'd just steam some broccoli and call it a day.
quick question..do we have to warm these up in micro or are these supposed to be eaten cold?
Priscilla Udave They're supposed to be eaten cold, warmed up salad is nasty
Priscilla Udave warm up in the microwave all but the salad one.
I usually put everything I can
in the micro in one container and the salad in a separate container.
Thank you for the crash course in healthy food! They all look tasty and will try them!
There is really no excuse you've made lunch enjoyable Fresh, easy and healthy.... I'm definitely using these recipes this week for a healthier change. Thank you thank you
Everything is amazing but I wished you mentioned the calorie for each meal for some lazy people like me
111
Google it!
I always wonder why do you add lemon to some fish?
Lemon is such a great complementary flavor with fish :)
the acidity cuts the richness of the salmon. always nice to have a balance of flavors. but of course, it's a preference... I hated lemon on my salmon growing up.
The flavor is awesome and also seafood tends to get bad quickly so the lemon juice will help your body to get rid of toxins
Cause Lemons/Lime + Seafood = Deliciousness! You should try it sometime!
Loved this. I plan to start doing some meal preps for my husband and I. I want to start saving money big time on groceries. I'll deff be making some of these!
Yum! Every one of them looks scrumptious! I will try them on my husband. I always get inspiration from this channel. TFS
Instead of saying "until they're cooked through ", you should say how long. We're are here because we either don't know how to cook or maybe need ideas. I just don't want it be raw or burnt if I try it.
Naomi Mckay Read the description box. It's all there.
Thank you 😉
It is really hard to tell someone exactly how long to cook something without knowing the circumstances. Are you using a stove top? Toaster oven? Cast iron or normal pot? Induction or gas burner? The only way you're going to learn is through practice. You shouldn't burn anything if you're paying attention and checking on your food. If you want to avoid raw food you can buy a meat thermometer. Simply poke it until the needle is in the center and check if it's thoroughly cooked.
I tried making the meatballs, but all I got was a mess of sticky gooey meat. Not sure what I did wrong, but a HUGE waste of money! :(
Glint On Glass maybe the portion size of ground meat and bread crumbs was wrong. You might have used less bread crumbs for the amount of meat you used.
I made with the exact amount of ingredients she mentioned. They were all darn mushy. Lol I just wasted a 1lb ground turkey. The flavors weren’t inspiring too.
I found this beautiful piece on Internet about rescuing Turkey meat balls. (By adding gelatin and freezing meat balls ahead).
www.cooksillustrated.com/articles/305-rescuing-turkey-meatballs
Might help if anyone is trying to attempt them.
I would suggest anyone to stick with the regular burgers made from ground Turkey (all the recipes are fool proof)
You should put them in the refrigerator first to solidify a bit before baking. I’ve had this problem with making my own turkey burgers before.
This is amazing! So happy I found this! I am going to try all of them!
I love each and every one of these meal ideas!
I'm gonna try them ALL!!!
To my Lime Cilantro rice I also toss in green onions or chives 👍👍👍👍👍
“Until cooked through”.. how about just tell us how longgggg
It always makes me laugh when I see recipes with skinless chicken breast. That is nowhere available in Germany.
OrangeTabbyCat Why?
Lidl does have it tho
LeeAnnGlenn In Germany? You sure? I'm in Ireland right now but I will check when I get back. Thanks!
I never had problems getting skinless chicken breast in Germany. I am German. : )
Daniela Boßmann Oh! You're right! My mistake. Of course we can get the skinless chicken breasts. It's the boneless skinless thighs we can't get. I mixed that up.
I've been looking for a great way to eat and my husband has serious heart problems..this will help me..all of your videos are awesome and beautiful. Thank you God bless you for your time.
Love these adorable ideas and so easy and varied!!
im such a sexist i avoided this video for a long time for the fact that its a female chanel and i thaught
"i need real man food"
God im so stupid these are FIRE ASF!
3 Kawis what is real man food ?
Omg...
Bro. Food has no gender. It's FOOD. It's just there so you don't starve.
3 Kawis isn’t females the one that are “SUPPOSED” to cook In the house?
I hope youre a troll 😂
I don't think kids would even eat any of these lunches. Maybe for adults. All the kids would laugh & bully the child.
Lots of kids eat clean and healthy food.
Omg you are heaven's sent Sarah! I love your channel. Will give these a try! Love the idea of adding flavors to a plain rice ❤
I made the Greek chicken tonight!! Thank you for these amazing ideas
ma'am i love you but that "mexican inspired" box is the least mexican thing i've ever seen
That's why she didn't say "Mexican". Notice she also said "Greek Inspired"?
Silvia Villa yeah it's more tex-mex inspired
dothedeed she said Mexican inspired for the chicken fajita and beans meal.
What's wrong with that statement?
Mexican inspired is different from mexican style or authentic mexican. People should accept that food is evolving and almost always subjective.
LOVE LOVE LOVE all these recipe idea's. Please make more.
They all look sooo good! You made me so hungry. Thank youuuu!! I cant wait to try them
I WILL be trying these out...I work with PreK and I like that your meals are flavorful yet filling!
I forgot to add...I'm trying to get healthy
