      Our Tribe of Many It’s hard enough getting old but to lose the ability to do what you did when you were younger and healthier is terrible. You always compare yourself with who you want swear and find yourself coming up short. Your family definitely makes me feel much younger even though I can’t do nearly anything that you do anymore your kids just energize us. I have been watching you for a year now and look forward to watching your kids grow up young healthyAnd loving. You have done such a great job I know it must be hard some days but you make it look so easy. See you when your next movie

      For meal prep just use Post-it notes and let everyone know hands off the Post-it note containers. You don't have to write on them

    Sarah you don't need to keep apologizing for the noise we understand and honestly I didn't think it was that bad. If people can't realize you have a house full of kids which means a house full of noise then they don't need to watch! You're ok just keep being you! Love the meal preps and organizational videos!

      We do this all the time. We buy ten pounds at a time and brown, bag then freeze them. I separate them into 8 one pound bags and 1 two pound bag (reserved for cheap Korean beef ). I also do this with chicken breast. I freeze in one pound increments (whatever your family eats at a meal) and have easy meals I can toss together on a whim.

    • @jilliandent1256

      you can also put your meat into ziplock bags to freeze and add the marinade right then. Oil, garlic, herbs, black pepper - whatever and freeze it with the meat. My friend is a chef and passed that tip on. Also if you buy a bunch of green onions trim them and put them in a glass on a sunny window sill with just enough water to cover the roots. Change the water everyday, trim as needed . You can just snip off what you need each time and they keep growing for a long time

    For the “Oh no, y’all ate dinner!” Problem: get a basket from the dollar store. Label it: “Off-Limits Basket”. Let all the kids know that whatever goes in there is off-limits - it’s for upcoming dinners or whatever the case is. Everything else is fair game, but the Off-Limits Basket is untouchable! 😂 It May also help to keep it on a higher shelf of the fridge to keep safer from the littlest hands. 😊

    Sarah, I made “egg roll in a bowl” for my lunch yesterday and it was so delicious! Something that may be great for a dinner or leftovers for lunch! So healthy too! No measurements but I’ll tell you what I did!
    Brown ground meat of choice, I used beef, but you could do turkey, chicken or pork. Once browned, drain out excess fat if there is any. Then season with ginger, garlic and liquid aminos (or soy sauce/coconut aminos). I had some Thai seasoning so I added that too. I then added coleslaw mix and a little bit of chicken stock (you can use water) to help soften the cabbage. Then I add some cauliflower rice that was cooked and drained to the beef/coleslaw mixture. Season with more salt and pepper. It’s so good!!

    Another great video! I would color code the prepped food with colored tape, then write in black marker DO NOT EAT. I can't decide which videos I love best, food, cooking, or kids. A little bit of all, but always enjoy seeing all the kids alot.They are all so precious!!!

      I, not long ago, put some mini bell peppers in the freezer because they were needing to be used and I didn’t want them to go bad. They freeze well and can come out of freezer and be chopped easily frozen. Great for cooking with!

    I love the way you have your children help you in the kitchen. My children , as soon as they could stand and walk they would help me in the kitchen. Around age 12 they could be trusted in the kitchen ( I never left them alone though ) and often fixed the evening meal . As adults they have the skills and appreciation of what goes into preparing a healthy meal . They also learned to clean as you go, but often , when they cooked Me or my husband would clean up.

    Hi Sarah,
    I am a senior citizen and only cook big meals sometimes on holidays. I used to buy a pack of the little colored dots that are used mainly I think for garage sales. They were red, blue, yellow and green. Really cheap for a lot. I kept them in the kitchen and would put dots on the side of things as a system.Red meant do not touch .needed for something. Green was “ have a It..snacks, treats, lunch or whatever.Yellow was always caution..almost expirations my or ..hot hot hot..You can use your own system.But I used it for the refrigerator, freezer, and believe it or not the “pantry too”. Never know when you might need raisins for a special dish.I just want to say.
    that I live each day just trying to be positive and thankful and nice.I love that you Always sat thank you to everyone for the simplest of thing..It is all in the spirit of your heart.I thank people for opening a door or holding a door. I thank people for being courteous in a store or wherever. Please and thank you. .If you see a stranger and say something pleasant. Your smile is wonderful. You look nice today.The simplest little thing could just be that jewel that brightens their spirit for that moment..Niceness is contagious.And a thank You is so pleasing to the soul..That being said...”I Thank you”. You add joy to us all and make the world a little nicer.Thank You.😊

    Sarah, I found out that the Instant Pot lid can be set inside the handles of the pot itself to save on space! You just stick the tab that is on either side of the lid into the hole of either handle on the pot and it keeps it out of the way! I hope that helps... it blew my mind when I learned that!

Taco meat pro tip: I sauté a few finely diced POTATOES before adding my ground beef & add the taco seasoning!! It stretches the meat so much further and our family loves beefy potato taco meat (great for tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, etc!)

She'll be leaving for college soon I have no idea what i am going to do with all the spare time. I've considered taking in teenage foster children. We did that when she was little, but they were ages ranging from newborn to 3 when they would come to be with us.
