New show, “Solo’s Test Kitchen’. 👍
That would be interesting!
I just love how active he is in the kitchen especially with how many kids they have
I so understand how hard it is to choose a flavor profile, LOLOL. Glad to know I am not the only one😅. More recipes from Solo's heritage would be awesome.
A friend comes over once a month and we cook for the month for me. I am disabled and it makes it a lot easier and healthy. I chop everything up and if there is something cold to put together I do that. We have the instant pot, crock pot, oven and cooking on top of the stove going. We then divide the meals up into serving size. Fill my freezer. I keep about 6-8 serving in the fridge. So when it starts to get low just pull some from the freezer. It’s a lot of fun. I use to cook all the time and I miss it but this is a good compromise. It usually takes about 6 hours. That’s from beginning to total clean up.
Meal prep is a huge time saver!! 😊
Wow! Such a great idea! Especially since you're involved in the cooking. My mom was in an accident and her right hand was damaged so she's not able to cook and she loves to cook for herself and for her loved ones. This would be a great idea for her!
Love that idea. You're lucky to have such a friend- and she you.
That is a wonderful idea! I know when my gramps passed my aunt froze a lot of the food people brought to the house in single size portions so gramma could just pull something out for herself.
Thats great! It sounds super fun to catch up with your friend and cook together!
You are blessed with a very sweet friend. I would imagine you two look forward to prep day and have a lot of fun working together.
Tell me why - for the last 6 weeks I have been OBSESSED with this channel!
Like I’m thinking “oh I wonder how Noel is doing” or Juda, bell and Tori.
Always thinking of this family! They really are so amazing!
Sara is bound and determined to have a chipotle bowl lol
I am so glad to see another family that really uses teamwork. I have friends and neighbors who are astounded that my husband and I share the "load". Marriage is a partnership. Thank you for sharing how you live out your vocation covenant with God.
Belle is so sweet. When she heard you say Tori loves to brown the meat Belle turns and asked Tori ”oh, do you want to brown the meat?!”. 💕
EVERYTIME I see solo he has some curry powder in his hand lol I love them
When freezing anything in a glass jar let it fully cool and don’t fill it to the top. Leave 1-2” to allow for the expansion. If I were freezing beans, after completely cooling I would just put them in good freezer bags and lay them flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour. Once frozen they take up so much less space in the freezer and thaw quicker when you want to use them. I do this with a LOT of foods, I hope this helps.
Teresa Doyle i do like this approach with baggies, but I do the jars to avoid using extra plastic.
Oreo Emesis I totally understand that! (I had too as I always had a very small freezer when my kids were growing up and I was a SAHM on a tight budget. Plus we didn’t know better then...)
Just leave enough room for the contents to expand in the jar. I make freezer jam in mason jars and I learned this the hard way...😢 once I knew to leave some air space for it to expand it never happened again. I hope this helps you.
I use my Foodsaver to seal my jars. There is an device that you use to seal the jars. You can also use and seal bags too. I love our Foodsaver.
Teresa Doyle thanks!
@@Elena-er7zp plastic bags don't break if you drop them plus you can wash and reuse them.
I love Noels birthday wish of doing dessert for supper and supper for dessert!! Best momma ever for letting her do it!
Solo seems like such an amazing husband and father. And Sarah you absolutely amaze me with all you do. The love of God and family shines brite in you both. I love following along with your family. Many blessings to you and yours.
Hey, the end of the month has some real flair! These meals sure don’t have the “im out of everything” feel ❤️
I've discovered since I started prepping for myself that I tend to eat the same things and, therefore, overlook things that together make great meals. I've had some surprises that I've continued to make that way.
The best way to start a Saturday - a OTOM vlog - thank you Sarah!!!
I love how Solo just throws everything within reach into a pot and it turns out delicious.
When my son was born my little girl was 4, I barely scraped by. The first three months was a huge adjustment for me. I did work 3 nights a week from him being 2 weeks old ( breastfed every 2 hours and expressed inbetween) but still only had 1 child and 1 baby!!! I'm convinced you are really a robot Sarah-or a secret avenger with awesome super powers x
I love that your kids eat so many different things and are not picky. You and Solo do an amazing job handling the day to day for such a large family.
The picture of your family is beautiful...
Solo is so cute, what a blessed marriage you guys have 🤗
Please don't ever stop making meal prepping videos! They are my favorite videos to watch while I'm nursing my 2 week old 😍😍
I laughed when it said everything is better from mom’s plate. My youngest used to push his plate aside and start grabbing stuff from mine. Even opened my mouth Once and took my mouthfull of bread and put it in his own mouth!
🤣😂
I so enjoyed your blog. I haven't seen you on for the last few days I'm kind of miss you you're like a neighbor to me. I don't know if I told you I am a lady of 74 years Young and a widow. I have some medical issues but I sure don't let them stop me from doing anything. I like how you eat and also the veggie foods are really good for me cuz that's how I like to eat because I am a diabetic and I need to stay away from a lot of lot of almost everything. Keep up the wonderful work God bless you and thank you for all the great cooking ideas and all the great children playing there keeping a smile on my face. Looking forward to another blog.
Solo melts my heart. Your family is amazing sara.
Love it when you all work together. And your salad went fast.
Bless you all!! 💖💖
You and Solo are such a great team, and I love how the kids always get involved in the cooking 🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing ❤
I love it when everyone helps you make dinners. Solo makes me laugh when he said what ever it is. My hubby cooks like that to. God bless and enjoy your weekend.
Solo needs to write a cookbook with some of the meals he makes . I cant pronounce them so have no clue how to spell them. The best meals come out of experimental or throw together cooking . Have a blessed weekend
I haven’t tried it, but I did hear that if you freeze whatever you put in the jar before putting on the lid and leave some space at the top, the glass is less likely to break. Sounds reasonable.
Love how the kids get involved!!! Awesome family!! xoxo
Pantry challenge desperation leads to some good new recipes. We put chicken. Cheese and rice together. With bacon. New regular meal from now on. Lol
In 2 weeks I will have 4 , 4 and under . You give me hope for our " big" family that it gets better as they get older and can help more . Watching your daughter brown the meat for you was literally like watching a dream lol ! You give me hope that as time goes on it's not ALL chaos .lol . I feel like your calmness has had to come directly from the Lord himself. Love your videos ❤
I love reading comments like this... Sarah truly is an inspiration to larger families and with 4 toddlers one must need it... Be calm and Mommy on... Blessings to you and your family Bria...
Thank you so much Sandra , it is so appreciated . We are still considered a "young " married couple . So, I am thankful for mamas like Sarah who share their daily lives and their routines. They help moms just starting out like me see what works for other families and what their real life looks like . God has blessed this family and their sweet and kind nature . They are definitely great role models for us young parents .
Sarah is definitely a great example of a real mom that is happy, calm and fun! #goals ♥️
Amazing how all of you work in harmony...love all the new ideas you have given me.. Your family is the BEST❤❤❤❤
I love when y'all cook, it gives me so many dinner ideas. It looks yummy.
I can't live without meal prepping!! I have to pack lunch every day and often dinner as well for work. If I don't prep - I don't eat! (Ain't nobody want hospital food....) 😁💜💕 Love watching your family 💚
Hospital cafeteria food yuck 😫
@@keridwengarcia1915 haha exactly!!
I really love the spirit of your marriage and family. You guys radiate love and humility. I really enjoy your videos guys! 💚
The best challenges in the kitchen is to have a experiment in inventing new flavors and recipes. Well at least what I was taught. I'm puertorriquen an us latin love to invent in the kitchen when we don't have much on hand. With all the spices Solo used practically took me back to latin flavors. I guess it will come out just fine in the taste as long as it isn't to salty Lol 😉 This prep will help you out so much Sarah specially now that you have baby Seth BTW I missed him in this video. God bless and good work everyone. 😊😉
I had a pork roast this week also and we really enjoyed it! I found a Philly cheesesteak casserole that used the leftover pork and it was amazing!!
Hi I'm from the future and you are an expert canner now! Idk how I stumbled on this video in '23 but it's really cool to think of all the progress you all have made! I admire it a lot!
Hi Sara and Solo! What great parents you are and it is so nice to see, how happy you all are! I have a very quick, cheap and delicious dinner recipe, for you folks to try. I used to be a chef in area restaurants and this was a frequent lunch special! I think you will all love it! It takes only 20 minutes from start to finish! I am originally from Maine but this dish is a New England favorite. It is called; American Chop Suey. You need to cook 2lbs of pasta. While the pasta is cooking, brown about 3 lbs of Hamburg with chopped onions( at this point, if you like peppers, celery etc. you may add that also while cooking the meat. Drain the excess fat. Then add 2 large cans 28 ounce, of diced/whole, tomatoes; 2cans of plain tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste. I usually add about 1-2 cups of the pasta water. I also like to add about 1teaspoon of celery salt. Taste for seasonings too! Let that simmer for about 5-10 min. Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot. Add your Hamburg sauce in with the pasta.? Stir it and voile’, done! It is sooo good! You can mix it up too by adding ground Italian sausage and half Hamburg. It is richer and more flavorful. I hope you try it and enjoy it! Even if you had a long, tiring day, one of the older children can help out by making it! A nice simple salad and your fresh bread!!!!! YUMMY!
Watching your prepping encouraged me to gather different foods and make my own concoction. When you think about it just put together flavors you like and it will mostly be a winner. Thanks for the TEACH.
Such a beautiful family and Solo is such a nice person always smiling and happy your so Blessed😇, I really wanna make the broccoli salad😁😊 love these recipe meal prep videos
Sara, I have a great suggestion for your instant pot. I saw this on Six Sisters’ Stuff yesterday and tried it last night. You do this the evening before you plan to use this for breakfast. The recipe called for two cups of water for every cup of old fashion oats placed in the IP. Cook on high pressure for just four minutes, and then leave it alone until morning. It will stay on “keep warm” for ten hours. It was the softest, creamiest oats I’ve ever eaten. It didn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and was so easy to clean up. This could work well on your busy mornings.
❤️ Love how Solo and Bell and your family help out! That is awesome!
My husband and I are in Omaha since Wednesday, he is in Methodist hospital found a tumor on his spine please pray for healing, had surgery.
God bless you both
May your husband receive total healing in the name of Jesus!
Hi Diane Lieswald, I hope your husband is doing well, May the Lord Jesus bless your family during this difficult time in your life's, He is the God of miracles and can heal, as you probably know already, Jesus healed me of my illnesses, i'm not sure if your husband has Jesus in his life, but if not please tell him to call on Him, The bible tells us in Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, Take care
Praying
Will be praying for him
I like how they try to find ways to make meals out of the food n left overs they have for a big family great job
I love doing sweet potatoes with salsa, bacon, butter and an over easy egg. It’s so filling and very healthy!!
This is 1 reason your family won your family award.love to all,great family work.everyone participates and gets satisfaction.
Solo: that's enough.... Then continues to pour the aminos 😂😂
I do that with white rice for lunch as well. I usually add some refried beans to bulk it up a little, but it really is a yummy lunch!
Thank you for always being here to watch you and your family. You make my day. Kathleen
Love the creativity of the challenge! Love that the kids help.
❤❤❤❤ love your tribe so much. The excitement shows on my happy face when you upload new content and I've binged watched so many oldies but goodies! Praying for you all :)
One of the benefits of having Solo's recipes is that it increases your watch time. I've re-watched a couple of times trying to figure out all the seasonings he used on the pork! Thanks for sharing your precious family moments with the world 🤗💗
I don't have a gas stove either, so to avoid the wateriness of the stir-fry veggies I put my veggies, fresh or partially thawed frozen ones, on sheet trays in the oven and roast them and then add them all together in with my stir-fried tofu (since I don't eat meat) but used to be my stir-fried meat I would add them into...makes them not soggy add a lot yummier!
I just subscribed, been watching for awhile. Your family is amazing, cannot wait for next video. Never did a pantry challenge
but think I'm going to try and clean out a freezer and use things up. Thanks for all the inspiration.
It's so sweet you and Solo are cooking together and making it happen for four nights of dinner, it is so inspirational helps me get to cooking!!! Thank You💑💃🕺

We love this with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli and some garlic bread. So delicious!
Wow, Tori and Noel are growing so fast... I still haven't made the white chicken chili but will try it before the warm weather hits... Thanks for sharing!!! Blessings !!!
Browned ground beef with Rotel added in makes an awesome filling for tacos...works well with shredded chicken, too...
I love seeing everyone helping in the kitchen ,you have amazing family 🌸🌸💞💞
I cant stop watching you and your family ❤
Awesome!! Teamwork definitely makes the dream work! Your family is a great example of God's love in motion! God bless you all ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Great you guy's have a lot of family unity in the kitchen 👍
I love how resourceful you are with leftover food! It always bothered me when people throw away leftovers because it's such a waste of food so whenever I have leftovers if my I, my wife or daughter doesn't eat it I try to find someone who wants or need the little extra food.
I think your family is so blessed. It’s a blessing to be able to cook with your family ❤️
I just learned to can over the winter in preparation for growing our own food this year. Girl, I was scared it was so hard to learn for so many years! It is the easiest thing ever to do. Yes, it is a process and it does feel like work, but when you go to your pantry and you already have soups, beans, jellies, salsa, etc. it is the best feeling in the world! It's like food prep on steroids. Well worth your time and trouble.
You made some awesome things.... your kids are the best eaters 🤗. Love watching your beautiful family 💗
Some of the best recipes are jus dumping things in 😊 Hope y'all have a blessed one also !
Dinners look delicious. So much fun with all the help.
Hi..our family does this alot with find some to make with what we have at the end of the mth sometimes more than that but were thankful for what we have..God bless..love you guys🙏💚🌻🙂
I absolutely love these meal prep videos and the pantry freezer videos so very much!
And watching the children and Minister Solomon help you with them also! You're so busy with Seth, especially since you're nursing him, and I know that their help is a tremendous blessing for you. Keep up the great work guys!
❤️&😘 from Detroit!
Your Family is wonderful you all pull together and make your. meals with love God bless you always have ❤❤❤🙏🙏
We’re down with anything that’s like Chipotle! Especially if it’s homemade 😄 Thanks for the top Sarah 💕✨
ANDforever I always do “chipotle but better” bowls and it’s soooo delicious
Love watching these vlogs. Coming to Florida tomorrow to visit Clearwater and Daytona from the UK. Hope to still have time to watch your vlogs. X
I live in the town just south of Daytona. Welcome. It's cool here but beautifully sunny.
One question does your oldest daughter know how to drive love your family they are awesome it shows so much love for one another may God bless you and continue to be strong😘💖👍🙏
I have a gas stove I absolutely love it opposed to electric but you gotta work with what you have.to switch over needs someone to also hook up a gasoline an stove gas shut off with experience..so nice solo is so helpful in the kitchen.my dad was like that,my husband not so much.
GOD BLESS YOU ,I TRULY LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TY FOR SHARING .
It's amazing how calm and quiet this meal prep went... Ha ha yey for helping hands
We just re-stocked our freezer last Wednesday after it needed a big defrosting. I might have told you guys about it (hoping the supermarket was fully stocked). Well they were and so it is chock full now! :D With stuff like the Corona virus "floating" around, you never know. Several countries, people are raiding the supermarkets. Our pantry is filled at all times, we go to the supermarkets (Lidl & Aldi) twice a week, since they are just around the corner from us, and so we stock as we eat out of freezer & pantry. I think we're OK... so far. Loved the challenges and the meal prep! It is such a big help.
We love to make pulled pork.we get a pork butt from sams cook on crockpot in chicken broth n orange juice with garlic powder n rosmary. Its good like this with veges and then we take left overs and mix with bbq sauce and turn it into pulled pork sandwhiches!!!
God bless you all! Have a great weekend! The meals look lovely and delicious!
My husband makes up new meals too lol. Long as there is season it’s usually great!
I’m taking notes on all your meal preps ( including Solo’s experiments), so hopefully things will be looking up around here too with meal preps. Your hair looks fine! You made 5 meals shad! Nothing can bring the day down now. Try a sprinkle of white or Apple cider vinegar in your sweetened broccoli salad dressing some time. It’s so delish! A teacher covered dish gathering was my 1st time trying it and I CRAVE it now! So SO good! 🍒❤️🍒🌸🍒❤️🍒
I am a firm believer that is always better when mom makes it! Lol
Everything looks tasty!That salad has my mouth watering.Noelle is a girl after my own heart,I would eat the cheese first as well,lol.I look at God and praise him as he takes little and increases it.God bless you all.I love you so much!🥰❣️
All the food looks really good! Solo is quite the chef!
i'm currently sick so i binge-watch a lot of your videos and I was almost done and now there is another one!! YEAHH, fresh content :D :D
Random J Feel better soon
Wow, so nice to have meals prepped!
Great watching you , Solo and some of the kids cooking together. All those meals look like they will be delicious!!
I started using jars in my freezer because of one of your videos and I have not had any break.
Lol "This is going to be really interesting". Your response to Solo's ingredients. We might just have chicken chili tonight. However it's starting to feel like Spring here and everyone is grilling this last weekend. Hmmm
Take some of that ground beef mix if with a beef gravy with onions and green pepper. Put it over rice. A easy fast meal and it fills you up.
Y'all so cute in the kitchen cooking together......... Blessing to everyone
I just love y’all!!!! You guys made it work all month long congrats
I love these videos!!! Your family is amazing.
I love how not picky your kids are, my kid will see something he doesn’t recognize and not even try it 😂
3 of my kids are the same way
I use canning jars in the freezer all the time. I have never had a problem. They are a perfect size for sending food home to my college kids.
Love your family, your kids are so we'll behaved. Gob bless you all. 🙏♥️👍🌹
bbq pulled pork on a kiaser bun and cloe slaw on it is awesome. hocks onions and a 16 bean mix makes a grt home made bean soup high protien.
Noelle has great taste! That’s my kind of birthday dinner.
So easy today with Solo's help. Love it
The cooking videos are great. Especially when solo is there . Great changes by UA-cam , I was worried you would stop creating but instead you just changed directions and made it more educational for adults . Thanks!
