A WEEK OF MEALS in JUST 1 HOUR! // Huge Family Meal Prep, Quick & Easy

I tried the great value gnocchi and it tasted horrible like plastic. Has anyone else had this same experience?

I always enjoy when Mindy calls something a "thingy-ma-doodle."

Thanks for all you do. Gang gang

That tip for mixing cooked chicken with a pre made dip is genius! Definitely doing that this summer :)

Made the chicken and wild rice soup last night. I’ve tried several different chicken and wild rice soup recipes before that I didn’t love, but this one was fantastic! I will definitely be making it again. I added mushrooms to the recipe and I made it on the stovetop because I forgot to put it in the crockpot in the morning.

What temperature do you cook the steak sheet pan meal?

Thank you.

This is well done. at the stove +other kitchen time is tough on household as warmer weather comes in.. thank you.

The gnocchi is a game changer! Why didn't I think of that!

Yes it's better I'm cooking go 4 days it's better

Mindy what temp did you roast the skirt steak dinner????

Can you tell us the temperature for the steak sheet pan recipe?

I can’t wait to try the chicken salad

A tip for faster roast potatoes: cut them small and microwave them first so they partially cook. Then rough them up so the edges are fluffy, toss in oil and salt and into the oven. Fast crunchy roast potatoes!

Camping time is almost here and we always struggle with what to make for lunch that is not just lunchmeat sandwiches ....Going to save the dip and chicken idea in my notebook so can have something different

I want to try the skirt steak sheet pan! What temp did you roast it all at?

I’m about to have a baby this is so perfect for me thank you!!

Wonderful video and ideas as always! Also credit to your camera man (or woman)😊

Thank you for making these videos, they are incredibly helpful! Random, but what do you use to style your hair? I think it looks great!

Thanks so much for the inspiration. Would you mind sharing your Walmart order total? (Sorry if I missed it, if you already shared that)

Thank youuuuuu! And I just love your eyeglasses. ❤😊

Yes I do that too glad I am not only doing stuff like this for meal prep and have our weekly meals in fridge too ❤❤❤❤

Hi there, speaking as someone who is happily not an American, given that there have been far more mass shootings in the USA than there are days in the year, are you not concerned about sending your children to school. Or do you think that praying to your God helps in some way?

Have you heard of using a hand mixer to shred your slow cooked/ instapot meat? It's so easy and fast!

This is a good one!!

I loved this video! I love meal prep and seeing family dinners like this! Can’t wait to try some of these out! Thank you!

Thank you! 2nd year teacher here and Sunday is usually the only day I have enough energy to meal prep so this was super helpful!

new to your channel

I was able to get a free membership for Thrive Market as a school teacher, plus 10% off 12 boxes. Thank you for turning me on to them. I got my first box, and am excited to have more budget friendly options for better quality food.

Made your chicken and rice from last video, was devoured by family! Thank you for that, going to try the beef skirt sheet pan right now. Have a great weekend!

The recipes looked delicious! One question: I’m always worried about leaving raw chicken in the fridge for too many days since it can go bad. Did you make the raw chicken recipes first during the week? The same with the raw meat…

This is so helpful! Would you consider doing a video similar to your one on what order to buy the spices in- on what order to buy cookware/bakeware in? Like what are the most used staples and then what is less used? what sizes of the various pans do you have and what does that translate to in like... a single batch or double batch of dinner, etc?

fyi, you can keep fresh ginger in the freezer and grate it right from frozen

I love, love, love this meal prep! So many great recipes. I am looking forward to making each and every one of them. Great ideas! Thank you! Love from Texas ❤

How did you all like the Chicken Satay?

I wanna try that soup!

This is such a great idea Mindy ! I wish I had done this when I was raising my kids and working full time ! What a time saver ! Your recipes look delicious ! I will definitely try these out ! Thank you for all your hard work Mindy !

Look at her go with diversity, love the Thai coconut recipe youh made

I'm learning how to save with Thrive Market.
It's worth it when you add in time, driving, quantity (sometimes when I want something particular, it's not in stock. So time wasted, driving wasted and above all, unnecessary stress)
The unnecessary stress- when I have to take not only one of my toddlers, but both to the grocery store. My oldest has autism. It's very challenging, not only with packing them up into the car, but dealing with them in the cart and shopping around the store.
Secondly, annual membership gives extra benefits for free items and/or extra % off on certains items... Not only weekly but sometimes daily. I have to check my email on the daily now too make sure I don't miss out on good deals. Also, when I hit the deals subtitle on the website, or type in deals, it shows the deals for even more savings.
Thirdly, some items qualify for Thrive Market Cash.
Finally, free shipping... Pantry and Freezer. They mail separately. Freezer, for me, I have to spend at least $120 to get the $19.99 shipping for free. So I figured if I stock up wholesome Keto and GF bread (you have to purchase at least 2, and if you do bundles you get better deals), amongst other items, I will just do it like once a month or every other month and it pays for itself. I still have them from my first order, so I will skip this month for freezer and do an auto ship possibly next month for freezer. Plus, Keto and GF breads are so hard to find. And some are expensive. So in my defense it's worth it.
Lastly, they do price matching (not sure how it works so far. So I'm still figuring that out.). The Customer Service team is Great 👍. I had a couple items received damaged and they replaced all of them. They do Supplements, Cleaning Products, Spices and so much more.
I just don't like how there's no Refrigerator Options or Produce. But hey, everything else seems great
If anyone else has money saving clarity when it comes to using Thrive Market... Please share.
Also, Mindy... I'm trying that Popcorn. 🍿. Especially the movie theatre butter. It's still on sale. My family loves popcorn!!!

Love this idea.

❤

👍👍👍👍👍👍

There's never enough ranch on those veggie trays 😢 🥕🥦🌶

What temp for oven on sheet pan steak and potatoes?

cool

For potatoes, you can cut them ahead of time and keep them in water until you need them. That's what I learned working in a university cafeteria. 😅 I'm not entirely sure if the cooking time is decreased, however. Thannks for the ideas!!

I wonder if you could use canned whole potatoes for that steak/green bean sheet pan meal instead of the potato gnocchi?

I'm impressed, short amount of time for all the meals.

Love all these meal ideas- I’ve made a similar pizza pasta bake from a recipe I seen online but it didn’t have the white sauce and it also requires ground beef- I like this recipe more cause it looks more budget friendly ;)

Thank you for the video!
