I Do This To Make Sure There’s Always Food At Home Even When I Work 3-4 Straight 12.5 Hour Shifts

I remember like yesterday when we first got married and I would always make my husband a package lunch for work they used to have lunches at work but they had to pay for them highly subsidized but we're still paying in homemade meals was way cheaper I love to cook so definitely he was gonna go to work with his meal from me his boss came to him one time and said do you think this is really going to last you think your wife is going to be cooking for you every day just give it a few months to a few years she's going to stop that is how women behave but he had been married for so many years I actually graduated college with his daughter his firstborn so definitely he knew what he was talking about I bet their biggest shock was the fact that I traveled and way after I was gone he was still coming to work with food because I had to freeze unload it and he always had something to bring with him well what they didn't know is that that is my love language not necessarily to him but to myself and everybody around me I have been cooking for my parents and my siblings for so many years even before I got married I would cook any day I would do that over anything else I should say and that is just how it has been and we're here to be alive to see us now hopefully he would have said well he was wrong after all well it's going to be another busy day here we are going to be making all those yumminess and I hope you stick around with me to help me out come along then and let's do some cooking delicious delicious [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] delicious delicious delicious

delicious delicious delicious [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] said yeah [Music] foreign [Music] they find everything [Music] every year [Music] and through my civilian [Music] s foreign foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] for you baby [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] S I got these cut up ones they are almost starting to get rotten so she gives you a good discount when you buy that I save myself some money and I help her business by doing that so I'm going to peel them we are going to have some for dinner and I'm going to freeze the rest foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] so I'm going to rinse them take out the ones that I'm going to boil and the rest that I'm going to freeze I'm going to add some salt to it that prevents the yam from oxidizing so that way it's not going to get dark whilst it stays in the freezer to start the actual freezing process foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now I'm just going to portion out my Yarns just for my mom my husband and I and that way once we just bring one bag out of the freezer we're just going to pour some hot water over it and just boil it I have a whole video here I'm going to try and Link it up for you maybe that will be more explanatory to you but yeah you save yourself a lot of money even if it's not because the yams are going bad and you get it for cheaper when they are in season especially when you're back home you can do that if you have a lot of freezer space [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] so mommy mommy [Music] [Music] lots of toys grandma foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] well it's been a super super long day but look at us just look at us we did it I did it meals are ready to be dished out it makes life so so easy on the days that I work my hours are long I work 12 and a half hours I leave home by 5 20 am to go to work waking up at 4 30 and I am not in the mood to try to dish out food or anything when I wake up even if the food is already prepared so when I make my meals I portion them out for myself for my husband if he has to work outside that day we just grab our dishes put them in our lunch bags and I want them at work and it makes life so much easier even when I make stuff like banana bread and things like breakfast foods I just make them portioned out because it makes life so easy you don't want to be just dishing out food when you are so sleepy and tired and I find that the food when it's you dish it out to bring it along you know later they don't look that appealing it doesn't look that appealing to me so I like to make it as soon as the food is cooked when it's hot and the rest that we will be eating at home I also go ahead and Portion them out like this so when you bring one out you most likely not returning that bowl in the fridge whatever you want it's going to be used up so I'm going to be doing the same with everything and I know somebody will definitely come in the comment section and say why do you have to cook when you have your mom living with you my mom has been so helpful it is scary to me it is getting scary to me because I know definitely I'm not her only child she has her own life she has a business she's not going to be here with us all year long every single time so I'm not going to get used to having all that help she washes my children she gets them dressed I am so thankful and most of the time she does the cooking when I don't meal prep so I am so happy I'm getting my groove back on and making my meals prepped it saves her some time she's not stressed out trying to figure out for me what we are going to eat when I'm at work when everything else is done she might have to cook some very minor things but then for the most part I have done my cooking and when she's not here that is going to be one less then I'm going to be stressed about because I don't know how I'm gonna be getting my kids ready up in the morning for school when she's not here because she pretty much does everything I come downstairs and make their meals and she gets them ready and I send them to school so there's so much one person can do and like I said before I left home I was the one doing all these and it's it's even strange to me that my mom has gone back to being a cook because back in Ghana she hardly goes to the kitchen anymore she'll tell you I've trained you all I did mine when it was my time and now I have all the these grown girls I'm not doing any cooking and she deserves some rest she has worked super super hard all her life so she does need her rest well look at us look at everything portioned out and I am super exhausted so thankfully I had to go to work the next day I finished this about 11 pm I just went ahead and slept the next day when I came my husband had cleaned the floors my mom had put away all the dishes after they dried up so I am super thankful for the support that I have for my family I hope this motivates you I hope you do something like this if you are a working mom this for me is the way to go and if it works for you go ahead and give it a try thanks so much for watching kindly give me a thumbs up and share and until I come your way next time with something delicious be loving be kind be happy [Music] [Music] delicious delicious [Music]
