Mostly Homemade with Danielle
Приєднався 4 вер 2023
I am a Mom of 2 young boys. I try to cook as much as I can at home from scratch. UA-cam is my way of sharing the things my family likes, while being somewhat creative and still being there for my kids at home where I am needed.

In this video I made: Pan seared chicken thighs - There is no recipe for this, just season and cook in olive oil until done. You can use whatever seasonings your family likes. I served this with Jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. But this lends itself to a multitude of side options!

In this video I made: Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie - I just added a diced onion, a bag of frozen carrots and peas, one 10.5 oz can each of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. I added onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt and chicken bouillon powder to taste. I then added 4 frozen boneless and skinless chicken thighs. I cooked this on high for 5 hours, but you could cook it on low for longer....

🤦🏼♀️☺️
You give them the same foods every day looks like they are tired of it not eating the food you send them
They are the ones who pick their lunch from the options available and that is because if they pick it they are more likely to eat it. But keep in mind they only have 30 mins to eat and sometimes they talk too much etc and don't finish. Other times because they get free lunch at school they eat some of what I sent and some of the school lunch. But most importantly kids tend to eat in cycles and I don't force them to finish food if they say they are full and neither does their school. 🤷🏻♀️
The fact that one of ur boys said yay in the part where u show what they ate is super cute bc they ate everything!😊
Heyy just curious. Do they get mostly the same things in their lunchboxes the whole week? I was just confused 😅😊
I let them pick so some weeks they pick the same lunch over and over and some weeks they mix it up. I let them pick because while at school I want them to have something they will definitely eat. If they picked it they're more likely to eat it 😊
@@MostlyHomemadewithDanielle true! Thanks for the explanation ☺️ i like the way you raise your kids when its about lunch💕
❤
God bless you! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Any leftover food from there lunch day can have there snacks after school 🚸
Yes, they usually snack on any left overs after school 😊
This video gave me so much ideas what to put in my pack lunch ❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
Luv ur vids such great ideas! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Is it just me or do kids really need more time to eat!😅😂 it’s the same with my daughter
Yes! I feel like they definitely need more time. More often than not if they didn't finish their food it's not because they got full but they ran out of time.
Even though it’s the end of the school year, I needed this lunch inspo! What lunch pail are you using for the lunch boxes?
We use the bentgo lunch containers and their lunch bags that everything fits nicely in are from target. The brand is Fulton Bag Co. They fit the bentgo boxes perfectly with room for extra stuff.
What do you do with the uneaten food?
It's usually their after school snack 😊
Oh thats great 🥰
As a suggestion, maybe put the ham and cheese omlette in a primed thermos. I've had great success with a lunch thermos carrying eggs.🌞
Thanks! I'll have to give that a try. I was trying to keep it flat so it wouldn't fall apart. Since it didn't work anyway I'll definitely give that a try next time he wants an omelette for lunch ❤

I know these are for kids but I love watching these to get ideas for what to pack for my work lunch, lately I've been really bad about spending money at work on lunch so I'm trying to get back into the habit of packing my lunches!
I pack a lunch for the boys and my husband. It saves so much. And even though I don't pack my lunch I often eat the same foods I pack for them. Just larger portions of course. Hope this helps motivate you!
Maybe less chips an add some veggies?
I've tried veggies at lunch. It's just a waste as they don't like raw veggies or cold cooked ones. We have plenty of veggies with our dinners tho 😊
I love these videos. Awesome idea!
Thank you!
Nice lunches! Your little one picked up his pace Thursday and Friday lol, sweet!
We don’t have sun butter here, but we have wow butter. The kids love that I found a peanut butter substitute for school. Your kids appetites are a bit more adventurous than my grandkids. But like you, I just want them to eat at school, we can try a bit more at home. Thank-you for sharing what you do
Thank you so much! And I completely agree that exploring new foods is better done at home. Thank you for watching! ❤
Those Philly Cheese Steak Quesadillas loos soooo good! Great video! Thanks for sharing these!
Yum!!
2nd
Your video are so good keep it up
Thank you so much!
First to like
So cool l love your Videos they’re so cool
Thank you so much!
👍🏽👍🏽🩷🩷😊
Yeah
Let's fill up the big side with the fruit!
The smaller portion actually holds quite a lot of fruit. And it allows for the chips and pretzels to not be totally crushed so there isn't all that much in that section. But also everyone's preferences are different and while at school I would rather them have food they'll eat rather than them go hungry. Their teachers love their lunches. 😊
How to keep the food hot in a lunch box? Especially the chicken nuggets. Any suggestions?
The food stays warm because just like with cold things their lunch bags insulate it and keep it warm. It won't be hot but my boys don't seem to mind. When I give them something that needs to stay hot I will use their thermos containers. But most of the time warm is good enough for them 😊
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
U deserve more subscribes 😢😊❤
Where do you find the ranch powder and the chicken base at your local Walmart?
Yes. I get most of those things from my local Walmart 😊
খুব ভালো লাগলো
Thank you!
i love your channel
Thank you!
What is sun butter?
It's a nut free peanut butter substitute. I buy it at Walmart but amazon has it as well. Our schools are nut free here and specifically there's a child with a nut allergy in my older son's class. So I'm always super careful about what I pack for them 😊
Good to know
Love those sugar and flour containers 😀 and those cookies! Thanks for sharing!
Aww that’s so nice that they all have close cousins to play with!
God bless you making bread from scratch! It came out great! I use to make bread at home when my kids were young but I used a bread machine. Kudos to you for all you do,for,your family!
I wondered how you did the sandwiches! Pretty cool!
MmmmM so tasty and gives me ideas on my next lunch🤤
Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins??? Yes please!!
Looks like the youngest likes that ham and cheese toasted uncrustable!!
These meals look delicious!
Wow those muffins look amazing! I’m going to have to try them!
❤ the videos
Thank you so much!
You are a thoughtful and caring mom. 😀 I appreciate that, my grandmother made me lunches she knew my picky-self would eat but benefit from, too. 😊
Thank you! I try to keep things mostly balanced. And at home what's for dinner is for dinner. But I definitely feel like that's not the best idea for at school. ❤
You got me hooked with these dinner
