Meal Prepping SIX Healthy Meals for our Family of 12

Hello, welcome back to our channel. My name is Sarah if you are new here and this is my husband who is here alone and today we are preparing

meal

s for 6 dinners, maybe fried this year. We start

meal

prepping

at the beginning of the year. It's almost. April and we love it. I love it. Do you love it alone? He hasn't really been a part of all of them, but he actually takes us a couple of hours, so we haven't been consistent on the day of the week. We do it, but we try to pick a day when we need to eat dinner anyway and take an hour or two and just eliminate a bunch of

meals

at once.

It has made our weeks so much easier and dinner time so much less stressful. We dine together as much as we can and this makes this happen even more so today, like I said, we have about 6:00 in the lineup and we're going to see if we can make it happen with two adults. here and the kids napping should happen this is the plan my chickens are scratching let's make fish curry stuffed peppers Thai chicken a roast with roasted vegetables they make, which is a Kenyan dish that's vegetarian and let's try to make a couple of types of lasagna we have lasagna noodles and then we also have fresh spinach that we need to use, so we're going to make one that is very low carb and then maybe two of them that are regular, if you're new around here, maybe not know, but we have 10 children, they all live at home, from 4 months to 16 years old, three teenagers, three small babies who cut the babies there or in the middle, so we have a lot of ears, they are all, there are always a couple of them going through a growth spurt, so we make a lot of food, so you're making some rice here no, no, this is actually.

Oh, so this is just an extra bag, yes, it's time to think that one has to make two or not, they decided to make just one. You have these mung beans in the pressure cooker, why did you put them in for nine minutes? Meanwhile, I'm going to use this bag of flounder and these clay pots and I'm going to prepare a fish curry, okay, I'm getting ahead of myself, but With my hands clean I'll show that I unloaded that whole bag of fish, it was a huge bag here, so all those pieces of flounder and then I put all these frozen vegetables on top.

If I had a bigger crock pot I would. put more in there, I'm not even sure if they make bigger crock pots in this, they're probably called Roasters, maybe I don't know, I should look into that someday, but then yeah, I put two of these bags in here like two. of the bags on top and I'm going to make a sauce to cover it. I have made this meal many times with different meats, different vegetables. I have made it many times with chicken, four different vegetables on top and here is the sauce that Every time I make I use a large can of crushed tomatoes, this weighs 28 ounces, so you can also make two small cans or half the recipe , your regular size Biblica and then two cans of coconut milk.

I'm going to need a spoon for this. It would be easy to get by just choosing one of the candidates and a small can of crushed tomatoes. I've also made diced tomatoes in the past, I just have a couple of kids who would be more likely to choose diced tomatoes and fresh tomatoes, avoid that. Well, next thing is to make some white rice and you just put a bunch of curry powder in the pressure cooker and I'm going to take this curry powder and I'm going to put two tablespoons in it sometimes I do one, sometimes I do two, it depends how much curry we want to try next.

I'm going to add a teaspoon of salt and I think the last time I made this it needed more salt so I'm going to add another 1/2 teaspoon and you may need another 1/2 teaspoon. In the end that noise is him covering that thing. I'm going to mix all that together and pour it over my fish and vegetables. That's it for this meal, we're going to cook it on high heat for four or five hours today. eat it or simmer it for eight hours and then flake the fish, which is very easy. The fish is flaked as it is so fine that it flakes just by stirring it.

Chicken, although I would shred it after its aroma and it is a really easy meal. you with rice. I like to eat it low carb, so I eat it alone or with some cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower or something, probably as a stew. I'm heating up some water for my stuffed peppers. I've never made stuffed peppers, my mom used to make them all the time and it just sounded good to me, so I'm going to turn to the trusty Betty Crocker for my recipe, first of all, I'm duplicating her recipe, Betty's recipe, and then. I'm going to replace the rice with some cauliflower rice for 2 of my peppers that I make in 12, so they will be low carbon in our stores.

Fresh produce was very available and we also have spring fever so we got so much fresh produce and we have been eating it nothing is wrong around here it has been very good looks like Solar put curry in the potatoes. I don't know. When he comes back I'll ask him what's in your potatoes, your red potatoes. it's a little curry just for fun, okay, they're going to go into your roast, you're making them, yeah, and cutting off the tops of my peppers, and I'm going to take all that out, that's just recycling and ignoring that beautiful Sunday , I really remember it.

I don't like this food, it's a child. I think my kids will like it, although they are a little less demanding than me. I haven't taken out the mess yet, but if they choose to just scoop out the filling and eat it, I'll save the peppers and eat it myself for lunch all week, so I won't mind if that happens around here, but I think most Some of them will like it, okay? I'm not going to brown because I was making his cousin tell you water here and working his way up those are ready so now I have to decide what I'm going to do while I wait for him and we put this to boil water faster , these things are so nice when you want boiled water. it quickly boils very quickly and then when the kids want hot chocolate, we put all the cups, put the mixture in them and then we just boil this and pour it in everyone very quickly, my

family

and my

family

Alone in Kenya.

I'll use them too and it helps, like if you want hot water when there's no hot water coming out of the sink, you boil some water quickly and it's a great way to wash dishes around the house or for whatever you know. Time to turn on the stove, we'll make it a good time, not everyone gets hot water, yeah, being part of the cricket team, yeah, yeah, anyway, I'll link it below. If you don't have one, it will change your life if you did. Don't abuse it, remember that you have it. Mine is actually very old.

It was my grandmother's and she gave it to me and she didn't need it anymore and she's seen a lot of you. Today is our day off. We don't normally spend our day off cooking, we get out of here, but I think it will be worth it, and we spend time together, it's like a cooking day date, yeah, during quarantine, when you can't go anywhere, we didn't even need a babysitter, the big kids are playing outside the little kids are napping hey look guys, this is a problem that happens here frequently, our dishwasher is full and running and still there are dishes to wash.

I can understand why some people have two dishwashers that we would definitely use to destruction, yes, but I can't imagine us doing it maybe sometimes we just wash the rest of the leftovers by hand or that cilantro looks good with the peppers so I forgot to show you what you did here: brand some onion or cook some onion, yeah and Anna made a can of tomato and a can of diced tomato and some kind of Rotel tomatoes, finely crushed, her son had a little pepper , easy crushed garlic and then I added the pendant so that once the onions were soft, once the onions and tomatoes were soft.

Ok, so stir it to complete it, no, you let it boil a little with the beans and you keep the juice in the beans, the water in the yo, yeah, nothing about a lot of water, that's it, that quick and easy if you want. to see step by step all week another video we made making below these are only supposed to be cooked for about five minutes to soften them put the lid on here is the rice this is not like the normal rice we use but it works well and He made it curry rice, so it's a little yellow.

I'm going to take some of this rice for my stuffed peppers. Now I'm going to brown a couple pounds of ground beef with some chopped onion. I'm just giving the onions a meanwhile, it's been five minutes with this, so I'm going to drain the water so I can add some garlic, thanks for smashing that old school style, yeah, it smells good, it smells here. like a restaurant Asian restaurant no, I'll just walk through the kitchen and man, that was good, great, yeah, let's put the Big Mac on because the chicken for me, okay, put the knife down, okay, we just added two teaspoons of salt and Now let's put the rice.

I didn't have cauliflower rice so I'm thinking for my low carb ones I could add fresh spinach. I don't even know what to do. I tried to guess that it doesn't, it only requires one cup anyway. for a pound and we're making two pounds, so yeah, all of that has to fit in the peppers, so yeah, it's going to be good. I guess I could join them too, but I'm going to try spinach. okay I took out my meat or I'm sure it's going to be low carb and putting on the run I put the tomato sauce on now and I saw a little bit of that can and a whole can just because I'm saving some for the other one I'm making and I save some to pour on top and I also remember while I was making it that you're not supposed to cook tomatoes in cast iron, so if I remembered why I would remember if it's okay to cook tomato sauce, oh well, don't they look beautiful?

I'm cooking a finish to mix with that meat for these last two and then we'll bake this at 350 for about 45 minutes and then we'll put cheese on top. When we serve it, we will also pour the rest of the sauce here before finishing. Low carb looks great. I'm going to pour this while we're filming. Wow, it takes Talent, not really, where are our twelve? -year, I think so, that means about one per person for our family, that probably won't be enough for most of them, so I'll do it. I've been making a lot of homemade bread so that night I'm going to make sure I have a fresh loaf who doesn't like a piece of fresh bread or two or three with a little bit of butter so it'll be good to fill up those who need it and We can also have a lot of solid things, so that will be a good accompaniment to that meal, well, I'll see if I ever make it again, so let's say he tried the mixture and said it's a meal in itself, so I think It will be a success.

I think I already put in the roast I was going to make. shows that process so we have lots of roasts in our freezer, maybe next time he'll show what he made because he introduced it while I was busy stuffing backwards here and I think that's what we're going to eat tonight so I'm going I made some roasted vegetables to go with that and then I got to work on the chicken dish. We have already ruled out the idea of ​​making lasagna. It seems like too much work right now or after an hour and a half, so we're using the ground beef we thought to make tacos.

Tacos are one of our go-to's when things are too much and you need an easy meal. Tacos are basically spaghetti so I really want to know if you can leave a comment. Next tell me what your favorite food is. It's super easy. I forgot we have another one that we do a lot. It's Sukuma wiki, which is a mix of kale and spinach. We often make it with just frozen stuff, so we almost always have it. I do it with or without it and it's very quick and easy, so that's another one we do and we have very little time or we're very tired, it's a disaster.

I just remembered I have cauliflower rice, I could have made it with Cauliflower Rice. I bought it at Sam's Club in a large bag instead of the small bags I normally buy at Walmart, so I was looking for the wrong thing. Well, I invented a new one with spinach and I'm sure it will be good too. It was good, I took a bite, next I'm going to roast some vegetables, these are actually frozen vegetables and they work very well. My kids really like it cooked this way in the oven, so I have frozen broccoli. I just poured in some olive oil.

I'll add a ton of salt on top and roast it at 425 there for I don't know like 1820 minutes. I'll keep an eye on it when it gets a little golden and crispy, that's how they like it. the best, so I'm going to stir in the olive oil and then I'm going to add salt for the green beans. I actually seasoned the salt I hadn't added yet and used avocado oil because that olive oil was gone. I normally use coconut oil, but I'm just not taking the time to melt it, so it can be poured because it's in a hard form right now, it's cold enough here.

I'll do one more thing a little different in the green media: add nutritional yeast flakes on top for the kids, very different from their The fries are good, so I told you I'll cook them for about 18 minutes or so, a Sometimes I stir them halfway, if sometimes I don't, that's when I might want to do it because they are more on top of each other, but these are veryWell laid out, so I may not have planned it very well because I just realized we were making our third curry dish. What did you use curry Ford? Oh, maybe not then, so we have fish curry.

There is a little curry in our rice, that's no big deal. and then we have I'm making chicken curry, so we'll separate it for a few days. It's a good problem to have if you love curry. I like to change things. Oh, would you eat? Could you eat curry every day? Yeah, I could probably eat it. Normally I could do it, but I guess we don't have as many curry recipes as we do, he throws curry and everything, but I don't have. There are so many curry recipes. I'd like to try some new ones if I were to eat it.

So often I make my spice mix that goes with the chicken and onion he's chopping. We'll fry it quickly and then throw in some cans and then the chicken curry will be ready. I made this one for you before linking it. I'll link the video we made it and tell you all about it if I can figure out which one it is haha. I think I know I hear a lot from you guys who have tried it and like it and eat it over and over again. It's super simple and I can see why they like it.

It's good, in fact, it might be the most. Of the recipes I've entered not so far down, it might be the most loved, which is why people love your recipes more than mine. I just try it. I loved their recipes more than mine too, but I don't like it when I make their recipes afterwards. this is fried, it's all my spices mixed with chicken and onion after it's fried, then we'll add two more cans of coconut milk, obviously I use coconut milk when I make curry and then 2 cans of small diced tomatoes and a little red curry. paste it let it boil a little over low heat it's ready we'll eat it with rice here are the cooked vegetables so I made them for longer about 35 minutes and I think no, no 35 25 and I think I did this around 20 I lost my mind account look how it's a little brown that's how my kids like it and this could probably be a little more brown if they're a little more cooked a little more wrinkled they'll eat them even better they like them like this I don't know why We'll put it back , we haven't involved our kids today, we've been doing it alone.

Vittoria just walked by and we're setting out the food to show them everything at once and Tori came in and says, looks like we're there. having a pretty big dinner today yeah, I like six

meals

, okay, I ended up giving it about eight more minutes and I think they're good now Sheba likes jazz right now, okay, that's it, I'm going to take this broken one out, you I'll show what. What we did here is the final result, doesn't it look beautiful? Any work done ahead of time is beautiful, right? Okay, here we have bingo, that vegetarian green gram of mung beans, whatever you call it, made Kenyan style, there's a lot of that.

There we will eat it with rice then we have the fish curry that we will also eat with rice. Tomorrow I will prepare a big pot of brown rice and the pressure cooker because this week we will eat a lot of rice and I don't have enough, we will cook that one the day we will eat it, that one is already cooked, it will probably be difficult to see Luca. Do you want to take a spoon and stir that up a little bit? That's Thai chicken. curry and that we normally also eat with rice, although we could eat it with noodles.

Luka will stir it up here so you can see, yeah, you love them, so there are stuffed peppers that we will eat like I said with homemade bread and salad, probably then I will have the roast that came out of the pressure cooker with the very soft potatoes and tonight we will eat them with these roasted vegetables, guys, keep in mind that I told you I have 10 kids, so you're going to hear some of that now. They're all inside ready for them, we'll need it tonight just because it's a little better fresh, especially the vegetables, and then here we cook four pounds of ground beef.

I think we're going to split that into two meals. take some of that brown rice we're making and add it to half of the ground taco beef, it's already seasoned with taco seasoning and then we'll do something else with the other half, like make it with some spinach and kale. or whatever, it will still be great with taco seasoning, maybe we'll try something new if we have two meals of that, that's six meals, maybe we'll have some leftovers, so it would be a full week's worth of food. It's almost done, which is amazing. I hope that making these meal prep videos will help me prepare my food for the weak.

Oh, you have water. I hope it gives you inspiration for some foods we like to eat. Great, always ask what we eat C is I hope it inspires you to cook something ahead of time if you're making dinner and you have a little extra time maybe you can make two meals obviously we could have planned better to make similar meals, so It's easier, but you know we saved some time by calling the Curry's because we had curry alone, thanks for the help today.
