    Hello everyone. Thanks so much for watching our new weekly meal prep video. It's my first week of meal prepping since the surgery and its time to plan for a week of success. Let me know in the comments below what you are making this week for meal prep. – Joey

    So good to have you back in the saddle again! I know you don't like the meal prep videos, but they always give me inspiration. I really enjoy the interaction between you and Tim, you guys are great together! I would absolutely watch "Tea with Tim". I'm a big tea drinker (mostly hot tea) and have a pretty decent collection.

    Thank you for sharing. I sometimes buy large bags of onions and chop them in a food processor. I then put some in a container which I place in the refrigerator to use throughout the week. The remaining chopped onions are then frozen in freezer bags and used as needed throughout the month. I do a similar prep with bananas. When I find a sale on overripe bananas I buy several bunches. I peel them, place on a flat sheet pan and then freeze for a few hours. Once frozen I remove them from the sheet, put them in freezer bags and return them to the freezer for future use. Lastly, I also love freezing grapes after they are washed and dried. They take up far less room when you store them in flat freezer bags, rather than a large bowl in the refrigerator. I hope your recovery is going well!

    It looks like you guys have this down pat. It would be so nice if my partner joined me in this WOE and was a part of meal prep. Love watching you guys work together!

    Glad to have you back. I love a good meal prep, and appreciate all the time it takes you. I just made a huge layered salad but then was annoyed when started watching you put spring onions and things in spring rolls. I don’t know why I didn’t think to just chop the salad up a bit more for it!! Great idea. I should go back to the beginning and count how many times you say right!!

    Yes! I want to do tea with Tim!!!! The hibiscus tea he is drinking is beautiful too and really makes me want to drink it. Those beans are my very favorite. They can be mashed or not. When I get hungry at night, I get some beans and put them on tortillas that are toasted in the oven. It helps so much and is absolutely delicious. That bean recipe is so good. Tell Tim to grab a fork for his cucumber and run the tines of the fork down the length of the cucumber and it will also make a decorative edge, if he gets bored with the stripes. Thank you for the video. It is so nice to see how this is all done. Those pizzas look fabulous. Can we eat them without the cheese and just veggies?

    I also highly recommend one of those vegetable choppers with the interchangeable blades. So great for dicing onions, peppers, radishes, etc. and they’re so cute and uniform!

    I enjoy watching both of you together in the kitchen! I buy the cut up watermelon cubes from the grocery store. We have a small fridge in our RV, so I buy a small amount at a time.

    As far as the melons-using a melon ball scoop is wasteful. I slice from stem to stern and then slice the halves into four long slices. Then I slide the knife along the rind and cube the melon. No waste!

    Helpful hint-don’t cut the root end of the romaine before you quarter it lengthwise. It holds the leaves together so it’s not so awkward while slicing crosswise.

    Joey, I think I'm your biggest fan. You're fun, humble, and knowledgeable. Drink water! Me too, Joey! Watermelon jerky! Why take a beautiful low-calorie density food and turn it into a calorie and sugar bomb. Nope, only fresh fruit for this skinny, plants-only gal. I want that composer, too. My husband and I are watching this and laughing at your banter. We are so much like you two. That casserole looks yum. We may make it this week–but we'll cut it in half instead of doubling it. Because there are just two of us now, I got the equivalent of kitchen sports cars, the KitchenAid artisan mini and the 3-quart instant pot. Everything looked so great. I'm grateful that you have recovered enough to post videos and that you continue to get better. Have a lovely, blessed day. BTW-I'm now a fan of Tim, too. Bravo, friends!

    In a nutritional coaching class I’m in, one of the folks told us about this for a base of dressing, instead of using oil:
    1 TBSP ground chia
    1/2 cup water
    That is the base to use instead of oil.
    She usually adds 2TBSP lemon juice + herbs
    The chia mix becomes thick, and helps the dressing stick to whatever you put it on.
    I like to use this when I don’t have any aqua faba on hand. So far I’ve tried it with some of the California Balsamics. Also with some ketchup and mustard and (Mrs) Dash garlic and herb and liquid smoke. I plan to try it with some nooch and other nacho cheese spices to see how it might work for a vegan cheese sauce.
    I’m thinking it might work with ground flaxseed, too, because flaxseed becomes thick in water.

    Time for Tim to get a dehydrator (to make fruit jerky, etc), and start a Dehydrating with Tim series. In addition to the Tea with Tim series. Or maybe he can feature a tea while he dehydrates something. I like the way he gives rationales for what he does.

    I like watching your videos. They make me realize that meal prep and cooking these recipes are not complicated. I need these reminders to keep myself on track. Happy to see Joey has recovered and is doing well. Thanks for all that you do.

    I make an oil and vinegar style Italian dressing by swapping out the oil and using the aquafaba from a can of chickpeas or white beans. It works very well and the aquafaba helps cut the acidity of the vinegar.

    I would love tea with Tim! I’ve been drinking iced hibiscus tea for five years now I think, I love it. I buy bulk dried hibiscus flowers. It’s so nice to see you back in action Joey, yay! I find you two very funny and heart warming, it makes me feel good to watch you. Lexx is very lucky to grow up in such a loving home. Take care.
