Congrats Sawyer!!!
congratulations to sawyer, even though i don’t know/remember who he is
YEAH!!
Hi Babish
Hey Andrew, really love your videos
*Who's Sawyer again?*
That’s a real friend,he literally cooked him all his meals ,so he could focus on his new family.
Even better, he shared the video for my entertainment then monetized the whole thing!

I'm not even a parent, just an overworked twentysomething and this is incredibly useful. I hope you can make a few more videos on this topic, for variety's sake.
Same Prepping helps but sometimes even the prep is a lot lol
You can literally freeze anything. Just change up ingredients
Same!! Heroic content for someone entering the workforce but not willing to give up on having a life outside of 9-5
Exactly, I'm 24, working and finishing my degree and I love these kinds of videos.
Forget wedding gifts... This is the real thing a new family needs
Yes!!!
My family's tradition has always been to include a huge family pack of toilet paper with other gifts at weddings and baby stuffs. Not only does it give laughs but it comes in extremely handy and is something we all use up much faster than we think.
100%
I know you made this for your friend who has a baby, but I'm saving this vid for the much less nobler "when I can't get myself to go to the grocery store" days. Thank you!!
That's equally valid though! Sometimes doing things is a lot, no shame in making things a little easier on yourself!
that’s actually a really smart idea. Saves money to make the frozen meals yourself, too.
Can you even IMAGINE Babish ringing your doorbell and dropping off a weeks worth of food. Literally a dream come true
It would be great
Wut...
lets be real, for new parents thats prob 3 days worth of food
Yeah frozen egg, cheese and bread. Beyond my wildest dreams.
@@SpecialJay eh, when your an exhausted new parent simple to reheat, free food is a blessing
Hearing him say that the lasagna is made for one person is probably the most comforting thing I've heard all week
Sometimes you just need to eat an entire (small) lasagna, and that's okay.
Sounded lonely to me....haha
and here i am, thinking one might not be enough for me...then again you do need more than one meal a day right :D
Same! Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes to make, and that always involves making a HUGE pan of it. I don't think I've ever stopped at just one serving (and you got leftovers for days!)
The pasta serving size of Italian chefs in 200gr
As someone who often suffers from the big sad™️, I’m 100% looking forward to trying these in advance so that I can still eat when I don’t feel like cooking anything
Same tho...
I mean yeah
big sad™️ 😂
I wish you the best on your journey to beat the heck out of the big sad (patent pending), it's gonna be tough but you can do it !!!!
Yeah, I tried prepping some food like this for exactly the same reason Unfortunately when the big sad hits you, you don't really feel like even heating it either so idk, hope it works for you
Time stamps for those cooking: 0:55 Breakfast Sandwich 2:40 Breakfast Burrito 5:40 Chicken noodle soup 7:35 Lasagna
Moral of the video: Being a parent can be difficult, so, get yourself a supportive best friend like Babish who hooks you up with sustenance while you take care of your pride and joy.
Yep
or dont be a parent, your kid, your family, your problem, yours only
@@zaqwsxcde54321 you must love charity events
*get yourself a babish
Another moral of the video: Being a parent can be difficult, so, *BE* a supportive best friend like Babish who hooks their friends up with sustenance while they take care of their pride and joy.
I'm also going to tell everyone that the extra slice of cheese on my breakfast sandwich is to protect the muffins. You're a clever man.
😂
@@NeedANewName gekoloniseerd!!
I LOVE the premise behind this video! A friend helping out a new father and being genuinely excited to do so. I think so often society portrays the "My friend has a kid, I guess that's it for hanging out" too much.
the saddest elements of society embrace the negatives of having a child, but a community coming together to support you in any way they can when you have a child is one of the purest forms of love that can be shown
@@TheAngusm3 well said!
There is a big difference between Media portrayals and the actual Society.
@@rohanjarande Yep
As a Dad, I can testify, this is literally the best thing you could do for any new parent(s). Awesome!
As a mom of 2, thanks for doing that. A friend's mom made us a bunch of food after our 1st was born. It was an absolute life saver!
With my second son, I knew what I was in for, so as soon as I found out he was on the way, I started double batching everything and freezing half. Knowledge is power LOL! My neighbors, not knowing my pre baby prep, all showed up with food too!
@@Bluebelle51 Lol, same here! That's one of those things they don't tell you when you're having your first baby, that I tell EVERYONE to prep for now.
@@stephanieflorence8109 oh same here! When my nephew announced that he and his wife were expecting, I gave them a Foodsaver vacuum sealer and several rolls of bags. along with the "double batch everything" advise. That was the baby shower gift! Anything that makes life easier for a first time parent is worth it's weight in gold!
@William Inscoe Do you want to wait in the car or hush up now?
@William Inscoe hey, it's only been 5 mommy minutes. Time to play the quiet game.
As a lazy college student, this type of meal prep is helpful
Yes indeed. I would like to see some more episodes of Meal prep.
My nephew starts college next year and we all got him grocery cards, hot plate, and a pressure cooker lol he's so excited
Can you beat your laziness to prepare all of these? 🙈
@@philipp5917 Same! I would love some more easy and cheap meal prep videos
As a busy single father, this type of meal prep is helpful
“One or two cloves of garlic” means 3 cloves of garlic. The more you know 🌈⭐️
So, in layman's terms: one AND two cloves of garlic then?
More like this Please! So many things can be frozen, helping families avoid eating out (especially fast food) and helping us avoid junk food but the details matter, and so many recipes come with Zero advice for freezing, thawing, out reheating. There are tons of fresh meals that can be made faster by bulk production of parts that freeze once a month and grabbing those components for the final through together in a weeknight. It improves nutrition and reduces stress, but so little out there comes with those tips, so you have to experiment on recipes you like. If pros like you started giving tips on make-ahead, freeze-ahead parts... We busy parents would be so thankful!!
I like how he calls the sausages "commercially available" instead of "store bought" 😂
Was wondering why he said that. 🤣🤣🤣
@@engu1348 when you buy in bulk you aent buying from the store but from a place like Cysco
I mean at this point he probably has a cow in his backyard
there are also lots of food delivery services now so if it comes in the mail it seems weird to say it was store bought
I like how he pronounced aluminum
babish is the actual mvp you dont realize how much this helps new parents until you become one yourself, and congrats sawyer :)
Perfect video bud. I'm a construction worker, working 10 hr nightshifts, and only every other weekend off. I'll be doing this up this weekend for sure. I bet you could do a whole meal prep series and we'd eat it up
Legit. Sawyer is 200% dad material. And Andy is 300% Best Friend material. Perfect pair 👌
Have you ever considered making the monstrosities known as Tubby Custard and Tubby Toast from Teletubbies?
_flashbacks_
My question is: What even are they??
@@benjoffe948 the Tubby Custard is supposedly just thin mashed potatoes with pink food dye. I have no idea about the toast tho, It looks like chocolate panckakes with a smile of normal batter to me.
@@Raven-Jomi Weird. Thanks for the info!
Yes!!!! Please!!!
I guess you can call this Best Friends with Babish?

Get out 😂
Buddies with Babish
@@screencuisine7975 awwww. wholesome 💗
One trick I find useful for reheating things in the microwave or oven is to put a small dish with water beside it. The water somewhat steams the food keeping it more moist.
Yup best way to prevent the food from burning....the water is the moisture it needs to taste just fine and aldente
8:23 Babish still traumatised by Italians Chefs critiquing his food
As a new father of a 5 month old, the love put into this for your friend brings tears to my eyes. You’re a sweet man
Could you make this a series? I’m fixin to get my first apartment, and the thing that scares me the most is being inable to feed myself with something other than fast food 😂
I second this though, I need a tutorial for basic dinner and lunch meals I could use to bring to workplace or to surprise my mom
@@heartofthefluft8541 yeah, because while this is easy, the rest of basics with banish is. . . Not basic
@@heartofthefluft8541 Try some adam ragusea recipes, the Home fries with peppers is a great place to start
I second the Adam Ragusea recommendation. His records are very practical and encourage efficiency and cooking by feel.
@@heartofthefluft8541 Some of internet shaquille’s recipes are also pretty nice for prep meals
Also, Ragusa puts sauce in an ice cube tray to freeze first. I think that works better than sauce directly in a zip lock.
This has to be one of the most generous gift ideas ever. Congratulations to Sawyer and his new family!! Well done Andrew :)
It's a really nice thing that Babish is going to give everything to Sawyer! That's some true friendship right here
I expose our satanic government, I have 2,000,000+ overall channel views.
Lol what
report that guy for spam lol, conspiracy theory bs
This episode just radiates love, everything from the context to Andrew's mannerisms :')
Sorry? Who exactly is Sawyer?
Wow, this episode had every Babish catchphrase: "Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper" "saucepin" "of-ten" "wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet" "rinse and repeat"
What about "Worcestershire sauce"
Ah yes, forgot that one. "tiny whisk until homogenous."
@@Abelhawk and he even used the tiniest wisk on the eggs
Add "until nice and fragrant" heheh
I can’t get over how thoughtful and sweet it is for Andrew to do this for his friend unprompted 🥺🥺🥺
I found there's a subreddit for requesting recipes, but I wanted to post it here: Duke's menu from Resident Evil: Village. Herbed Fish Bird and Beast Pilaf Three-Flavored Mititei Tochitura de Pui Ciorba de Porc Sarmale de Peste Each dish has a rough description, and it would be interesting to see how to work the protein combos into them. Mia also makes some interesting European dishes in the intro of the game.
that chard looks like they grow up drinking pure human blood but somehow manage to grow green leaves out of red stem
It's somehow even more red than rhubarb
@Alex Munz To be honest up until this video I did not know that Churd is a thing. It's amazing how colorful those veggies can get!
Check out Bright Lights type of Swiss chard. It tastes great and is all the colors. Easy to grow, too.
@Alex Munz In reality, us vampires don't use red and violet or purple or anything to decorate our lair. Matter of fact, if u came across one, you wouldn't even think it was a vampires lair. Also only our russian counterparts have names like Vlad and stuff; refrain from being racist. Love from germany
@Alex Munz there's also a yellow stem one.
Nothing is sadder than an under filled breakfast burrito. My new motto.

“I didn’t like the ice I was using, so I made my own.”
"Nothing is sadder than an underfilled breakfast burrito." If that isn't a fundamental truth of the human condition, I don't know what is.
I’m going to need this to become a regular series, just meal prepping in general, so many recipes just get gross after reheating.
This is really helpful, I work a normal full time shift everyday, but the hours I work and the distance from my home it is means I'm gone for basically 10-12 hours and barely get hoke long enough to eat
I kind of cherish the moments in the kitchen. The baby in a chair watching what I'm doing, toddler trying to build a railroad and constantly asking for help, drinking all the cooking wine... Great times.
3:42: Andrew proves that he can, in fact, pronounce "sauté pan" like a normal person, and then immediately says "soften" like a maniac.
British English we say sauce-puhn, but it still sounds weird coming from him as he seems to just be putting it on. We don’t say sautée though. It’s a frying pan (and we’d then actually say pan).
Didn’t even notice him saying it wrong because I’m British lol, he says it right
He also pronounces alumin-i-um foil like British.
@@OscarHanzely for some reason, he says aluminium both American and British ways in this video
@@hannahcorinne5388 It is an ongoing joke, the "[something]-puhn" thing. I think people made fun o him early on for saying "sauce-puhn" and he's been playing with it ever since.
This is by far the most heartwarming video I think I’ve seen of yours in my opinion. I feel like this kind of information can be so incredibly important for people nowadays and I am 100% planning to make these myself to help me get through hard times
This is what friends and family and complete strangers from our church have done for us with all 8 of my kids. Every time it is a blessing beyond words, thank you Babish for some great new ideas for my family and others. Hope your freinds are home and healthy.
Me: "Baby is coming in July! I need to plan some frozen meals!" Babbish: Is a bro.
congratulations!!! july is when my birthday is too.
Our baby is also coming in July! Congrats!
Mines due in November. Even well ahead, this us going to be a lifesaver, I can feel it now.
Congratulations everyone ♥ So happy for you all ^_^

When you said that Jess was filming on the B camera, I finally understood that that's why it's called "B-roll footage". I'm slow. Also, Congrats, Sawyer!
Amazing video! Would love to see a part two (or more) of this. Meal prep is what gets me through the week!
This is technically an episode of Binging because it features the frozen lasagna Jesse has a love-hate relationship with in Breaking Bad.
Or Garfield?
Thanks for inadvertently reminding me that Jesse referred to the cheese on a lasagna as 'scabby'. You've just undone nearly a decade's-worth of memory repression...

FOR THE FUTURE PEOPLE, THIS WAS POSTED 6 MINUTES EARLIER THAN THE POST THAT BABISH HIMSELF MADE
wym yet
This was posted the same minute as the video
I honestly dont know who Sawyer is
Thank you so much for this. As a person who suffers with severe depression food isn’t always on my mind. I’m glad I have these recipes now that I can make when I have the energy.
Who else would do just about anything to have Babish make you a bunch of prepped meals?
The Parmesan rind was so big I really thought Bab threw in a whole stick of butter. Hahaha I thought bro went full Paula Dean 🤣😝
Actually though! I started cringing and then breathed an audible sigh of relief when he said it was parm rind😅😅
What did you just call him
@@wyattnelson1157 She thought Babish went the route that Paula Deen who's a famous chef from Georgia used to do. She specializes in Southern comfort foods like fried chicken and apple pies and she used to use a ton of butter in her cooking which most likely led to her being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes later in life
@@t.j.themaddman6643 Butter wasn't the problem per se is was the fact she was rather overweight which leads to insulin resistance. Soul food is fine but not in those quantities.
@@EvilSanta482 True.
every time Babish uses parsley I'm reminded that there are people out there whos genetics make cilantro taste like soap and then I get sad.
What's cilantro?
It literally ruins anything it’s put in for us. It’s like someone threw dish soap in my food as a drizzle.
What does cilantro have to do with parsley?
@@CPUGaming some people use parsley as a substitute
@@UIAL570 you are missing out dude
Congrats Sawyer! Just became a father myself last night ^.^
late reply, but congratulations!
This was amaaaaaazing! Please, please, please (if you have the time) a part 2 and even 3, 4, 5, and 6 would be incredibly appreciated! Thank you!
Ok, bein honest, I cannot wait for another meal prep video like this. Probably one of the most useful things given busy weeks and open weekends.
I ALWAYS recommend to my fellow new parents, if you’re going to pre make frozen meals for postpartum make sure at least half of them are low sodium incase you get eclampsia! I made a ton of meals for postpartum and couldn’t eat any of them because I had to be on a low sodium diet for blood pressure and I’ve never had a problem before!!
SUPER helpful advice right here 💕
Anything specific you might recommend?
@@unityedits3722 I do low sodium, and use half the amount of salt I normally would. Instead I might add extra seasoning/herbs so the food isn't balnd.
It really touched my heart that you did all this food for your friend who just had a baby. Everybody needs a friend like you; you are very precious, please don’t ever forget that😍
Every new parent needs a friend like you. Amazing
I look forward to seeing the baby food video in 6-9 months. Babies with Babish
I CANNOT tell you how much I would have appreciated this when I had my kids. Like it sounds so simple, but really people just bring food, or send gift cards and leave.
Or like my mum did for my sister-in-law: do some laundry xD
Church
Bringing food and sending gift cards is also a nice gesture, you should appreciate it. I really don't think many people have the time and resources to prepare so much food for their friends like babish did.
@@kingask3430 that's literally what she's saying... that that would have been the perfect gift, and she would've appreciated it. And telling people do just do that. And as far as time and resources go, you can literally do this within a day. Not that much effort, especially for friends or family.
@@chiraine1 No, she's being entitled - she's not appreciateing her friends binging her food and gift cards. People don't owe you things because you had a kid so she should be grateful for food and gift cards lol
Please make another one of these! So helpful!
What a wonderful gift, a much needed gift for a new family.
My soul left my body when you were cutting that onion i thought you were about to slice a finger off
OH MY GOSH SAME!!!
Glad I wasn’t the only one 😅
On top of being a nice gift for Sawyer, these recipes are pretty useful for meal prep and college students
Definitely need a part 2 of this!!
those soups are going to come in handy when they’re having the shittiest no sleep days coming up great idea! so thoughtful.
You know there are going to be some people out there writing their social security number on their frozen food now. "I don't know why but babish said so!" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
??? Nah! We’re in on the satire of life…😉
Since we didn't get to see Babish taste the food, I guess Sawyer needs to video himself eating and providing tasting notes. (and maybe a shot of that wee little one too)
My bro and sis-in law just announced they are having their first baby this Fall---this video is serendipitous! I am saving this for later to treat the new parents!
This was one of the best basics episodes I have seen, great food prep and awesome ideas. Thank you
What a great gift to a friend! Sending this to a family with a new baby is better than a congrats cake!
You should try making the Marble Cake from The Flintstones episode, "In The Dough"
This was so helpful and I would love to see more of these recipes!
Please make this a series, this is so useful
As a pregnant woman starting to meal plan for that wonderful day, thank you!
Congrats 😘 Same here!
yoo gl
Before my son was born we planned and froze over two weeks of meals. 3 meals a day x 2 people x 14 days = 84 servings
That’s a genius idea...no joke...mom of 3 grown daughters and not sure why this never occurred to me🤦♀️🤦♀️👍
@@athenamaggio8766 Made the first 2 weeks more manageable, specially because my wife got post partum High blood pressure and had to stay in the hospital for three days (after we brought the baby home) and because of the chinese virus (thanks xini the pooh) she couldn't have the baby with her! I know! SO there I was, first time parent, alone with the baby at home. Those meals really helped

I haven’t even finished the video and this is already so amazing. Thank you once again.

This would make an excellent series. So helpful for people who are busy!
I'm going to be a new mom soon, and I heard meal prep is a game changer, but this is EXCELLENT. Thank you Babish!
I always really like seeing Babby bringing out a new ingredient I’ve never seen before. Like that big ole leaf was cool.
Initially I came to this channel for the TV/ movie gimmick recipes. I stayed for practical, money saving recipes like this! 10/ 10 Babish, you rock.
This is literally the nicest thing I’ve ever heard of anyone doing for anyone ever
Thx for the cooling down tip!
Fun fact. A mini waffle maker works perfect for tiny egg rounds.
"Enough for two...let's be real one person" too true...
Thanks for your quick trick skills
As a person who just started meal prepping, more of these videos would be amazing.
