Plan, Prep, Party 3 Steps to some Cooking-At-Home Habit

Crock pot and rice cooker are good choices for an easy home cooked meal. It is still more easier if you use frozen veggies or stir fry for your meals

As a professional meal prep chef (personal chef), I think you’re doing a fantastic job! I like my pancakes fresh, so make numerous batches of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, etc.), then pour into mason jars like pancake mix. When I’m ready, I just add almond milk, mashed banana and vanilla.

Good!! Home made food gives ultimate satisfaction. I cook daily and love discovering and experimenting…. love your cooking homemade meals ideas.

I love your videos, and just recently subscribed to your channel. I would love to win this cookbook. My family is trying to eat healthier this year and this book sounds wonderful.

This is a very thoughtful video, perfect and very comforting during a stressful time. Thank you for having so much consideration for your subscribers.

Here in Germany they say you shall not keep minced meat longer than 1 day, as it is so sensitive for bacteria. and yours even has raw egg in it, thats seen evrn more critical because of salmonella. Not to blame you, just to inform how things are told in other parts of the world:) Cultural exchange so to speak:)

Cutting butternut squash is the toughest arm workout out there. Although here’s a tip: warm your knife by running a lighter through the edge of the knife ����

I loved when you walked down your steps. Looking across the road it reminded me of Sesame Street. Was expecting Grouch to pop out of a bin. Loving your channel from Australia

Hey Lucie! A tip to peel the butternut squash that is a bit safer and less time consuming peel it before you cut it, I peel the the top or bottom half then wrap a paper towel around the peeled part (because it is slippery!) and then peel the other half and hold onto the paper towel! Then chop it up!

Hi raveena I’m luisa single of Australia new subscriber of your channel,I loved watching your video I learned a lot and make our new home organised thank you so much for sharing us your video’s god bless you and your family Mabuhay also from my origin country Philippines ���� regards ��������

Outstanding!!’ U manage cooking process so effortlessly.. and that too in such a neat and clean way..!!! You’ll don’t have Indian meals???

Hi Raveena ji,
I enjoyed watching ur cooking. I loved ur lunch. Yummy. The shopping idea was great. Packing the vegetables in the refrigerator was class. U r a great woman of inspiration. Lot to learn from u. A big hug and kiss to u��������

question… is Daily Harvest good for the environment??? what is up with that? all that packaging is a bit annoying and the whole idea is unnecessary..ESPECIALLY when you show us so many great recipes.

Simple,easy and wonderful,Mam! Your meal planning and meal prep everything is a learning experience. Your vlogs always inspire me and I try to follow.

For Youghurt, i have inidan youhurt culturewhihc is nothing but curd from my freindso I add half a tspn may be less, for luttle less than half gallon milk, and set for 5:1/2 hours. Done.

thank you for all your amazing videos! the last few weeks i have almost watched all of your videos so far. your are very inspiring and you show how easy it actually is, to incorporate soo many cooking styles for somebodys daily meals. i also appreciate your attitude towards zero waste and just making as much out if it as possible. so many youtube chefs dont care about that at all.

Instead of maple for the yogurt, add grounded garlic salt and black pepper then u can eat it with falafel or u can add chopped diced cucumbers and eat that with any Armenian or arabian dish that got rice and meat ��

Hi Dawn, loving your tips and ideas, this cook book seems like a great fit for our life. Wondering now that its been 10 months how your finding the cook book and this as a part of keeping your life simple?

If anyone wants a quick and easy (and dairy free) alternative to the yoghurt, add a probiotic capsule to a (clean and sterilised) jar and add some coconut milk from a can. The coconut milk has to be additive free, and the probiotic capsule can’t contain prebiotics. Put a cloth on the jar and leave out for 1-2 days in a clean area. Check out Minimalist Baker easy coconut yoghurt for more instructions:D

Easier way to make bone broth. Leave it in a slow cookers overnight in low. Warm fresh broth for the next day. Bonus: the meat is super tender and you get the marrow inside the bones which is amazing for nutrients and yummy

looks like your at the prospect park market…check out my older brothers beer…From the Ground Brewery!!! im sure you have already tried it!

Hi! My mom grew up in a village in Greece without electricity, so her way of making yogurt is a great option for those without an Instant Pot. She boils he yogurt to 200°F, puts it in a large bowl with a lid while it’s still hot and wraps it in a bunch of blankets or towels to keep the heat in as long as possible. She then places it in the warmest place in the house for a couple days and checks on it from time to time to see if it’s the consistency she wants. And that’s it!

If you love pesto, you’ve gotta get the Chloe Flavor vegan cookbook by Chloe Coscarelli! She has a 5-ingredient Kale Pesto that’s amazing hot and cold, plus other great recipes, like the best and fluffiest cornbread muffins on the planet! Unlike other vegan cookbooks, hers doesn’t use a lot of weird processed ingredients and mainly sticks to whole foods. They are simple and delicious!:) Link: https://www.amazon.com/Chloe-Flavor-Saucy-Crispy-Spicy/dp/045149962X/ref=asc_df_045149962X/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312104252832&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4297672385545322524&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1027519&hvtargid=pla-422464737054&psc=1

Hi Lucie! Thank you for producing interesting&inspiring videos all the time!
How about “5 Days of Learning 5 musical instruments” next time??
Like recording a bit of the melody played by different instruments every day and remix them together as a piece of work!
I think it would be fun!

I’m learning how to cook well so I will not get bored with my cooking options ��. I learn a lot from your videos. Subscribed. Thank you!

All these are great tips, thank you man! I will give it a try now that I need to save some money; and since eating out is my top expense for the week, I will test your advises…cant wait to watch the rest of the videos in this series. Thanks again from Costa Rica.

Hi, which curry powder did you use in the last meal prep?
Actually in one of your grocery haul, I saw packets of spices from ‘Catch’ brand.

What can i say about you. U are just too good and perfect in everything. I am learning so much from you. Thank you I am so happy to have found u. God Bless u and your family.

I’m binge watching all of your meal prep videos and I’m trying to make the mayo-ketchup chicken today. I’m sure it’s gonna be delicous. Would also love to see some savoury pancake ideas and the different varieties of vegetables & minced meats that can be used. Something like okonomiyaki but with different veggies. I have tried mashed/grilled eggplant mixed with leftover minced pork �� Thank you for sharing all your recipes. You’re a life saver for a SAHM like me ��

I am building a community of meal preppers on fb to share photos, ideas, and ask questions. Would love for you to post some of your creations in there!

The group is called: DIY Meal Preps

See you in there!

Thank you so much for the teriyaki sauce! It is better than anything I’ve tasted before. I love the meal prep especially since I found a source for some of the Japanese vegetables.

Do the sweet potatoes you use have another name? I see yours have a white inside, I’m used to them being orange inside so I assume you’re using a different kind. Great series!

Question: how many people are these good for?? I worry that at the end of the week I have to check if some of the food has gone bad yet…How much I wish there is a clear measurement for every meal for everyone in the house!!! I also wonder how much totally would it need to be for a couple and one kid family? How about 2 kids family? How about a family with grandparents??……I get frustrated a lot when shopping in the store,, trying to get more variety of the food,,, knowing that some food might be wasted at the end… or not knowing what combos I can do with the same ingredients.. Still I’ll keep watching all these Japanese meal preps video in the middle of the night hoping to figure out something on my own….

Yes!! thank you so much for this video!! I am so busy with my university classes that sometimes I feel like I can’t even eat!! This will be so helpful!! You’re the best:)

butternut squash is the one piece of produce I always get precut. My sanity will one day be undone but I refuse to let a squash be the thing that drives me loony.

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I’m a 60-year-old divorced grandma who used to love cooking/baking-and I was real good. I worked as a cook off & on for many years, but due to physical problems I had to stop 10 years ago. I now work as a receptionist & haven’t cooked regularly since that time. I currently live alone in a small apartment w/a lousy kitchen, no range hood, no dishwasher, no garbage disposal, very little counter/cupboard space. Cooking was no fun any more; I just heated things up. I also live right down the street from my job, so I can go home for lunch, which is usually a sandwich or cheese & crackers. But my mother passed away last month & I’ll be moving in w/my elderly father in a few weeks-15 miles from my job. I won’t get home until 5:45 pm due to the traffic & then I’ll have to scramble for dinner when I walk in the door. My mother waited on him hand & foot, making sure he had a good meal every night at 6 p.m. (she was a fantastic cook). Even though he was fending for himself due to her illness, I know he would like a decent meal in the evening. There’s no way I’d say “absolutely not” to my dad-if he wants a meal at 6 pm, I’ll make him one. But I’m dreading the whole thing. I don’t plan menus, I just wander around the store & buy what I want, I don’t even budget for food. All this is going to have to change. I can’t remember how to cook anything & I’ll be leaving the house at 5 a.m. to swim at the local pool-which is a mile away from my job-and then I’ll be in the office at 6:20am (I don’t have to be there until 8am), keeping breakfast foods available for me at work, I’ll have to pack a lunch & sometimes buy TV dinners, then sitting in traffic, getting home around 5:45pm (if I’m lucky) and fixing dinner. My mind is reeling at what lies ahead of me-taking inventory of cupboards/fridge/freezer, keeping track of sales, planning menus, figuring out a food budget & staying within it, hauling it all home & putting it away, prepping as much as I can ahead of time, packing lunches, making dinners, cleaning up in kitchen. I’m so overwhelmed. But I notice that you have a small kitchen, no range hood, limited space, you manage to make great meals using the most basic ingredients, you are giving me hope! I have a crockpot & an Instapot but haven’t used the latter yet because I’m scared of it. I have a feeling I’ll be depending on those items. I’m trying to lose weigh (60 lbs) and my dad is a very basic, simple meat-and-potatoes man, I’m hoping I won’t have to cook two kinds of meals. Since I leave so early in the morning for work, he’s on his own for breakfast & lunch, but he’s used to that. I just have dinner & weekends to worry about. I feel as though I’m a newlywed again starting all over in the kitchen. But I’m determined to do all this & do it well. Your videos inspire me & I’m sure they’ll be a big help. Thanks so much!

hey. Did Michael just get more used to being on camera or did the person who films you guys changed? I just find him way more at ease. Anyway, this is great! I love seeing your adventures <3

Yaas loved the dinner party part. Maybe 5 weeks of hosting at home (like dinner partys, special date nights, family gatherings, brunches, potluck…) I would love something like that. I always cook at home but find myself getting into a trot and than being overwhelmed when hosting. If it’s not too much stress Lucy I would love something like that:D

Very for grateful for finding this channel, new here. Love how you are real. This book is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nice grt ideas….d cucumber with edges cut is just how we do it in Goa…n also d salsa…add a green chilli n a dash of lemon to it n its called tomato salad a must to go with d chick xacuti n bread n rice……yeah would likec to see d veg broth….

Washing raw chicken before cooking it can increase your risk of food poisoning from campylobacter bacteria. Splashing water from washing chicken under a tap can spread the bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing, and cooking equipment…. Only a few campylobacter cells are needed to cause food poisoning.

yeah homemade yogurt is good but doing it yourself every time is so time-consuming and expensive
not worth it in my opinion, it should be more of a treat

Very nice recipes, thank you so much. Not only for the actual crisis, but also for me with long office hours it is good to have ready-made food with no suspicious ingredients in the freezer. I already prepared all of the recipes (including the 2 previous ones) and am happy with the short preparing time. Until now I ate only the curry recipe. Because of the lack of peas I put potato cubes into the pan. Very delicious and recommendable.

Thankyou for this meal prep and recipe,really big help for me as a working mom here in japan.Im looking forward for more easy recipe meal preparation.

Yum! Delicious food. I love how you try a variety of food, and like show how you make it. The foods you try are unique and I really hope I try your food someday! All the food you try are super healthy and scrumptious, and you are very healthy! ����

Looks amazing! Looking forward to trying. �� My crew are the same ages as your kids when you started. Two boys, two girls too. I’m encouraged by the similarities and your creative solutions. Whoohoo!

If anyone wants a quick and easy (and dairy free) alternative to the yoghurt, add a probiotic capsule to a (clean and sterilised) jar and add some coconut milk from a can.

Your cooking videos have been some of the easiest, most helpful, and delicious ideas I have ever seen, and I watch countless other Youtube food channels! I made the spicy chicken stir-fry and hoikoro, both of which were fantastic. Thank you for these great tips during this time!

I feel like we’re still cooking all week though…… lol
My work schedule changed… looking for something I can prep and the kids can just throw in the oven for me on the day we’re eating…
(They’re 14 and 13)

I really need help with meal planning. We’re a disaster here. Way too much convenience food. I know how to cook I just don’t enjoy it. This method looks so easy.
How well does the food keep in the fridge, particularly meat? Surely it won’t last a week.

Hi! My mom grew up in a village in Greece without electricity, so her way of making yogurt is a great option for those without an Instant Pot. She boils he yogurt to 200°F, puts it in a large bowl with a lid while it’s still hot and wraps it in a bunch of blankets or towels to keep the heat in as long as possible. She then places it in the warmest place in the house for a couple days and checks on it from time to time to see if it’s the consistency she wants. And that’s it!

Yogourt: definitely don’t need the instant pot. For those who would like to try homemade yogourt without having to buy an instant pot (or save said instant pot for cooking a main course instead) using masson jars and incubating in the oven (non-LED light on) is great too! I even saw a lady do the incubating in a cooler container, using hot water to maintain the temperature nice and warm.

I was just looking for a way to make 16 simple meals for the busy work week. (I have learned in my working experience that I go to the same meal over and over again when I’m stressed. It’s like a comfort thing.) But this guy is way more advanced than I was hoping. Homemade yogurt and homemade almond milk is some high schooler shit. I just wanted some 2nd/3rd grader shit-basic and quick.

Me encanto la receta del pastel espero qe hagas más se te da bien la cocina eres muy buena,espero tu próxima receta saludos desde huelva españa

Well done Jana. I’ll be there. What time does the party start again? I forgot. I’m bringing the potato salad and some sliced cucumbers. Lol. Hope you had a great time. God bless you.

Your cooking videos have been some of the easiest, most helpful, and delicious ideas I have ever seen, and I watch countless other Youtube food channels! I made the spicy chicken stir-fry and hoikoro, both of which were fantastic. Thank you for these great tips during this time!

Mmm! Everything looks so oishii, especially the hoikoro������ I love your channel!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes as well as your knowledge��

Crock pot and rice cooker are good choices for an easy home cooked meal. It is still more easier if you use frozen veggies or stir fry for your meals

These recipes look amazing! Im definitely going to make them. I do need to modify the recipes a little since I don’t have some of the ingredients.

I’m in!! I DID just weed out some of my storage containers though-and put the lids on the ones I kept! LOL! AlsoLOVE the boundaries tipit has helped a lot! Thanks

My wife and I tired this book after she watched the review and it has basically become the cook book I plan our eating around. We normally cook two different “weeks” of food and plan to work a seafood in once a week. Interestingly, enough I am not sure how much i actually follow the recipes it is more of an ingredient guide to me at this point. We normally add back in the gluten free component with an equal amount of the gluten free ingredient. For example: 12oz zucchini noodles and 12 of pasta. Thank you for the recommendation your channel has helped our family a lot.

This seems to be an ideal cookbook. My family is also very picky including myself, so it will be a fun journey watching to see what you make from it. Thank you for sharing!!

About the yoghurt if it’s industrial bacteria it’ll just taste as the neutral industrial yoghurt, and you can make even with the yoghurt you buy in the supermarket. And once you make some you can make it forever because the bacteria is still there. Just save a little bit every time you do it. For real difference in taste you need wild yoghurt culture (we can it kefir here). That’s a whole another product, maybe sometimes too fermented taste for some.

Oh my gosh I am so excited to try this out I think I definitely will give it a try. I am in the same boat with three little picky eaters and a picky eating husband too! The one thing that absolutely sold me on trying this is not only the time saver and energy saving of making daily decisions about what to make but also the allergy friendly options! My little guy is autistic and gluten free, I’m gluten free, my daughter is rice free (I’ll have to do something aside from the rice casserole for her but the Paleo options would work ��) and my husband is mustard, tomato and peppers (hot peppers bell peppers etc) free… Let’s just say cooking in my house can feel like a nightmare on some days but I really want to give this weekly planning a try it would be amazing to not have to cook three different meals just for supper! Thank you so much for your videos I have been loving all of them!! ����

Make a video on the appliances you used in this video…knife, basket, containers, chopsticks, chopping board, all..with their brand names and shopping link
I want to buy these ��������

Someone told me about site called NextLevelDiet. Let me tell you something: This sh*t is really next level!!! Fat cells are leaving my body like never before. Goodbye belly fat. Welcome six pack.

Yum! Delicious food. I love how you try a variety of food, and like show how you make it. The foods you try are unique and I really hope I try your food someday! All the food you try are super healthy and scrumptious, and you are very healthy! ����

I’ve done this and it really works. I was surprised at just how much money I saved following a plan. My issue now though is I can’t find what I need when I need it. Either that, or the produce isn’t fresh. Our Walmart is bad about that. Allowing “organic” produce to sit… until it rots.

I’m really interested in getting this book! Thanks for the review! I have a family 6 and we never have enough time in our evenings for “good” meals. I would love to be able to do the prep once and just throw the rest together. Hopefully this works for us (and my fussy eaters!)

Washing raw chicken before cooking it can increase your risk of food poisoning from campylobacter bacteria. Splashing water from washing chicken under a tap can spread the bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing, and cooking equipment…. Only a few campylobacter cells are needed to cause food poisoning.

Wow! I asked for easy recipes and I LOVED each and everything you’ve prepared. Excellent system at the grocery stores. In the USA there are some states that are beginning to charge.10 cents per plastic bag at the supermarket. One of my friends who lives in Maryland, Washington brings her own bags to avoid paying for those bags. You peeled your apples ahead of time, don’t you put lemon over it so that they won’t get brown? By the way you have an excellent Spanish pronunciation. Thank you for everything.Looking forward to more recipes. ������������������

Great video. have been slowing minimising our home, ����trying to destress our lives��
I have already try soo many different meal prep ideas, parts of them work and another part don’t but this looks wonderful. Thank you love your channel

A lot of people today are working to find out the best way to lose weight. Then again, having the ability to discover a diet plan that can work for you is tough to discover. A very important thing you want to comprehend is that a diet that works for one person might not operate for another. And that means you have to know what your getting into before you start one of those diets. This can provide you enough info to find out if this really is something which is appropriate to your needs. Read more here https://truehealthreport.com/xtreme-fat-loss-diet-review/

Although that cauliflower “rice” bowl looked very pretty, I doubt it had any flavor. I mean black beans from a can? Seriously? But the butternut squash looked ok. Might try that…minus the enchilada sauce.

hey. Did Michael just get more used to being on camera or did the person who films you guys changed? I just find him way more at ease. Anyway, this is great! I love seeing your adventures <3

I love the idea of planning a weeks dinners and lunches to save time. I should prep like this before workdays when you are to tired to cook for a long time.

Outstanding!!’ U manage cooking process so effortlessly.. and that too in such a neat and clean way..!!! You’ll don’t have Indian meals???

Enjoy watching your videos feel satisfied someone keeping the home beautifully organised with such ease, love & patience, feel like I’m watching a short film.

Wonderful video! I love burdock root and I get it from the Asian Market near me. I usually stir fry it or add it to rice casseroles in my rice cooker. I’ll definitely try this teriyaki method! Thank you for the prep ideas, I’m looking forward to the next video!
