- Step out of the kitchen with me and learn a bit about my life, my family, and my food journey!
Thanks so much for taking the time to ask these questions, there are always so many more I would love to answer and love to get to! We start at the top and go til I'm hungry so here you go and I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for following and supporting me! I love getting to share my Saturdays with you guys, and I love sharing my food and a bit of my life as well! Feel free to dm on instagram, and comment here anytime and as always I will try to keep up!
You are precious, hon. I’m a 71 yr old granny and I know your family must be so proud of you❤
Well I’m grateful for the family I have!
Whitney is a lucky lady. A husband who can and loves to cook is a recipe for a happy marriage. There were so many days when I was raising my family when I would come home exhausted from work and had to cook dinner when all I wanted was just to sit down and rest … it would have been wonderful to have a husband who would have stepped up and said , “honey, let me do it for you tonight”.
It’s a team effort, I couldn’t do it without her and she does a lot more than she ever gets the credit for! She’s an amazing wife and partner!
I think a family cookbook would be great from all sides of both of your and Whitney’s families. Maybe you could feature the foods that your children love at their current age. I know that you have two really little ones that probably wouldn’t be able to participate. But that’s where you could have an addendum ( or two) to your clip ring cookbook. I actually prefer those so I can take out the recipe I want and not have the whole cook book out. It would be nice if they were laminated so spills could easily be cleaned up. Best of luck with the cookbook and your thumb recovery!!! 😃
I will keep this all in mind!
I agree. All the cookbooks are so fancy with ingredients that are only used once I’m from a large family and I need to feed an army and it needs to taste good. There is a market for this book.
“ Have you always liked to cook?”
“ I have always loved to eat”
Best response ever this is how people should be when it comes to cooking love your responses Zach it is a joy to watch your videos they’re always wonderful worth watching and impeccable quality with the video quality and sound I hope there will be more content in the future for years to come and more question videos
Honestly only two things make me want to cook. Good food…. and bad food 😂
For whatever it’s worth, you are the Bates that always gave me genuine belly laughs . So happy for you and your beautiful family with Whitney.
That’s so cool! Glad I could make you smile!!!
How about a cookbook, being in charge with your favorite recipes plus contributions from each of your siblings. One of you could help the younger ones. Pictures too for sure. Use a theme. Like Summer Cooking. Cookout Favorites. Holiday Gatherings. Company Classics. There you go. A series. We would buy them for sure because we love your family.
You are so sweet! Lots of great ideas!
Love your channel and I enjoyed your Q&A!
Btw I appreciate your honesty with some of the questions. As well your tips and tricks. Very refreshing!
I'd love to have you do more recipes from the family, either family favorites from when you were growing up and/or recipes from your parents, grandparents, etc.
Lots more coming!!!
You are so right about stainless steel cookware and cast iron. They last forever! Those two I've had in my kitchen for forty-five years. Towncraft stainless steel and various cast iron pots and skillets. Keep up the awesome cooking!
This ⬆️ 💯
I love watching your cooking videos. You remind me of my son. He's the oldest, we homeschooled, and that young man can COOK. I'm glad you made your way onto UA-cam!
So glad to hear he enjoys it!!! I’m glad to be here and love sharing with you all!!
Same here! My oldest is the same! He’s homeschooled and loves to cook! In fact he reallyyyy enjoys the homemade pasta with the chicken and Alfredo sauce that Zach made. We made it together again a few days ago.😊
I love the way you present yourself ( down to earth, just being real) and your sense of humor. I look forward to purchasing a cookbook in the future when available. Great idea! I always look forward to and love watching!
I believe it’s healthier and tastes better when you do it yourself. I have recently been watching some United States of Bates . Your family has always been inspiring. Can’t wait for the next recipe
It feels that way! I’m not the healthiest cook in the world, but I try to do little things like using more raw ingredients, cooking with stainless steel, not using seed oils, fresh ground wheat when possible…. There’s plenty of ways to improve but I try to do the best I can!
@@Thebateskitchen I really like how you cook and the recipes are all being saved for my use later , Thank you keep up the good work
I really like your recipes. It shows you’ve gotten more relaxed and confident with filming. You seem to have such a great heart and lover for Whitney and your children. ❤
I’ve got a ways to go but I’m learning! I’m blessed with a great wife and supportive family and I’m grateful they encourage me to do the things I love!
Loving this channel! I cook throughout the week, and then my husband typically cooks on the weekends. I must admit, he's a MUCH better cook than I am. He's the same as you, he loves to tweak recipes, invent new ones, and experiment in the kitchen. He has come up with some incredible dishes!
It’s seriously a lot of fun when you get into it!
Zac , you remind me so much of your Dad . I love the way you and your wife have a really equal partnership !
Ooooo crabapple jelly and apple butter are 2 of my all-time favorites! I'm so thankful that I was born and raised in TN. And when the good Lord is ready to carry me to my true home, I pray that I'll die here too ❤
I do love living here, and helping others find their homes here!
Me also. Born and raised here in TN and wouldn’t live anywhere else. 😊
Maybe you could start a food truck to see how many people you would feel comfortable cooking for! Like, maybe start it at a fair or a local event. Call it a ‘market analysis’ to determine if you could do it. Or would want to do it. You could have chicken and steak, maybe burgers too, with coleslaw and other cold salads, and maybe cookies or cake pops for a sweet. Something like that would be a good way to start cooking for more people, and help you determine if you would want to do larger venues. Just an idea!
That sounds kinda cool!
You are a very wise & Godly man, Thank you Zac
These questions are great. I’m a celiac and lactose intolerant….and I love watching food videos….glad someone asked about gf recipes. I think most of the recipes I’ve seen you cook have easy substitutes….and I have to say that I loved you pasta chicken Alfredo and want to make it…I’d take a bazillion dairy pills to try that sauce!
Yes to the steak recipe! Maybe during the winter when bbq-ing isn’t doable for those of us who have winter!
And do you ever use an air fryer?
You did a great with the Q&A Zach! You are very well spoken.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Zach, I’m so happy you decided to put out a cooking video. I’ve cooked a couple of your recipes and my guys here at home love them. 🙏 😊
I love to hear this! I really enjoy sharing my favorite foods!
I'm with you, Zach. I like my own food best. Whitney sure snagged herself a good man. Thanks, Zach
It’s the truth! I’m lucky to be with her for sure!
I hated lima beans when I was little so one night at dinner I hid the lima beans in my potato skins ( we always scooped the potato out of the skins and then put butter in the skins and ate them ). My dad loved eating the potato skins so he asked me for mine when we were clearing the table and he found my hidden lima beans. I thought for sure I was in big trouble but he told me that since I was so creative about hiding them that I only had to eat 3 of them. It may as well have been 300 because it took me forever to get just those 3 down my throat!!!
It’s crazy what we do as kids! I would try to stir them around my plate and make a few fall off the edge so it looked like I had eaten some of them… I feel like I was never successful!
I have enjoyed your entire Bates Family. Am enjoying your cooking show, you have a loving spirit. God bless!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you are enjoying it!!!
I agree ....when is your cookbook coming? I think it would be great! I have made crabapple jelly and crabapple butter!😊
Thanks for sharing your time with us! I enjoy your channel alot!
I would love to get mom’s recipe… that has been a long time!!
ZACH love your Cooking Channel and the love that you have for cooking. You’re doing an amazing job and your channel will grow. Say hi to Mama Bates love her thank you for sharing. See you next week. God bless you and your family
Thanks so much!! I sure will tell her!
I had so much pleasure going on your Instagram and seeing all the posts. I didn't realize you were on it. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work Zach, in a world so divided you and your family bring a level of sanity and happiness to others just by watching.
So glad you enjoyed it! It’s been fun to put together!
Excellent video Zach I loved watching this! This channel always pleasantly surprises me with content been loving the wonderful recipes and would love to see more of these answering questions videos
I’ll do my best!
Enjoyed your Q & A. Will definitely share the Bates Kitchen with my family!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
So excited, just found your channel!! 🤗
Welcome!! Glad you found it!
Love this channel! Thus is funny, educational andnI am always sad when your video is finished. Your wife is a treasure and is so hilarious!
You are so sweet! I’m so glad you enjoy it! Whitney is absolutely a treasure and I am so glad to live life with her!
I would also appreciate a whole Blackstone series because I bought one as a Lowe’s blackout purchase and I would like to know how to use it! 😂
Absolutely!!!! We gonna hop on the grill!
I love your videos. Aside from your amazing recipes, your love for God, your wife, children, and the rest of your family is so transparent and inspiring. I am so glad you started this channel.
You are so sweet! We have a lot of fun with this!
Zac , you are good in science and art you know why because cooking culinary is part of those two have the experience that your passion is making food and also kitchen known as your laboratory never closes Because at breakfast,
The chemistry and experiments of cooking
begins all over again.
I appreciate that!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing, love love your cooking channel, from TEXAS 🌹♥️
🤤😋
So glad you enjoy it!!! Love me some texas bbq!
Zac I would love a cook book that includes cooking for a larger family, most recipes I spend more time tweaking recipes from 4 people to catering to a large family of 10 and more.
That can be tough!!!
We had a crabapple tree in Michigan and lived next door to a peach orchard. Crabapple jelly and peach jam were always in our pantry.
Aww man, that sounds like a piece of heaven!
Building memories with your family is priceless.
Yes, it really is. It goes by so fast!
@@Thebateskitchen it sure does.
Simple easy healthy recipes with tons of flavor would be a great cookbook. I’m sure with 5 kids and your crazy schedule simpler is better! This is a great video, thank you for spilling the t. 😊
I would buy that 😂 thanks for watching!
I tried your sweet coleslaw recipe last week and absolutely loved it. I love a creamy coleslaw and the sauce for this did the trick. Finally, a coleslaw sauce I will be making again and again. I can't wait to try even more of your recipes. I would definitely buy your cookbook if you decide to write one. I can't afford a Blackstone right now and I am wondering if you can make those recipes on the stovetop or an electric griddle?
Absolutely! Anything on a blackstone you can do in a cast iron pan!!!
Awesome job Zach!
Thanks!
Love watching you cook. I am not tech savy and do not have Instagram. Could you please post things on this page also. Thank you. Looking forward to next cooking show. Blessings
I’m going to try to!
@@Thebateskitchen Thank you!!!!!!
I would definitely buy the cookbook. Do you have a meatloaf or chicken fried steak recipe? I agree about the lima beans!
Ahhh you’re in for a treat! Mom is coming back in the kitchen to do my grandad’s meatloaf with me! I’ve never tasted another like it, and everyone that has ever tried it at my family’s house growing up, loved it! Unfortunately mom almost always cooked it with a side of Lima beans so it was a love/hate relationship for me 😂 but be on the watch for it!
Love you cooking videos ❤
Yay! Thank you! 🙏
I love the Bates so much! I be all up in they comments hyping them up because they really are a good family. I might not understand everything but good people just good people and it shows💕
We just normal people, nothing special, but you are so sweet!
Love your channel even though I'm not a huge fan of cooking. My mom makes an awesome potato salad that everyone loves and asks for it all the time. I use to take it to work parties on night shift like she did for evening shift
That sounds pretty cool!
Love everything about this channel recipes, personality, honesty, accent and the beautiful home, but i think mostly bc you are such a wonderful person and FAMILY man! God bless you Whit and the kids!
You are so sweet! I love getting to share!
Love your channel Zac, I'm in the UK and love your cooking vlogs xx
Awesome! So cool to hear this! Thank you!
Zach, I love your channel!!! Enjoyed your Q&A. Enjoy your weekend!!!
Thanks!!! Hope you enjoy yours as well!
@@Thebateskitchen Thank You!!!😊
Absolutely love this❣️ great cooking show, great example of a husband and father, amazing family❣️
Thanks so much! You are so sweet!
I love to watch you and your family. I appreciate how you and Whitney are raising your children. Unfortunately, I HATE to cook so I don't watch the videos often.
lol everyone can’t love it!
Love watching all of it, my favorite is husband and wife cooking!!!
My favorite as well!!
That homade jam with your homemade bread and butter. Yummy ❤
Oh your making me hungry
Thanks for answering the questions! I really enjoy your cooking videos and am a big fan of you and all of the Bates Family I try to follow them all that have channels! Love and Prayers Always
You are so welcome! Glad you are enjoying these!
Will you share the chicken casserole please?? I'm almost 60 and still work full time. It's just hubby and myself and hard to cook for 2😊
Yes I will
I have my stainless steel revere ware that I still cook on that I got at my bridal shower over 43 years ago! Love it!
My Mom got revere ware at her wedding or bridal shower I believe! That’s what grew up with!!!
@@Thebateskitchen ❤️
Loved watching your Q&A Zack. When that day comes when you get your cookbook together, will definitely be purchasing it. Have a wonderful saturday today. See you on the next scrumptious food video! 😋👍🏻💛
You are so sweet! I can’t wait
I would love more recipes to try and I agree making it at home is better and definitely better. Loved watching you guys on uptv I been watching it all over again

Love Bates kitchen love the Bates family you are so friendly I watch from England xx
Hey there! Thanks for watching!
yall should do a Bates Fam cookbook!
We might one day!
Zach, great video and love your recipes! Like you my husband is a great cook but has stopped cooking because of his health so I have started back up again and enjoy it. I agree with you about eating out, especially Italian as we make our own sauce and it is so good. Love cooking with fresh ingredients like you do. Keep up the good work!
So glad you are enjoying! There’s something special about making something the way you love it and are familiar with
Zach, really enjoyed your video! I'm making my soup that I haven't made in several months today.
I love breaking out an old recipe!!!
@@Thebateskitchen I've got stew meat, fresh broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and spinach and beef broth and I want to add some fresh grape tomatoes to it. I just made the recipe up
Love this!! I was excited to see what you were going to cook, but a Q&A was great! I agree, a ookbook would be great. 🤗❤❤ I have a daughter and her two kids who love to cook and are quite good, so I am going to tell them about this!
Yay! Thank you so much! I’m really excited about Saturday for sure though!
Love the fruit recipe pizza.
Thank you 😊
Great episode
Thanks!!
I just love your channel. So fun and interesting. All of your recipes look so delicious! I’ll be the first in line to buy your cookbook when it ever comes to fruition!
Also, you have the sweetest family. Whitney is a doll.🤍
Whitney is an angel, and I’m so glad you enjoy!
Thanks for this video. Looking forward to more videos.
So glad you enjoyed!
I'm like Whitney, I like easy, not complicated recipes
To me every recipe is complicated the first time for some reason 😂
You’re the man 💪
😂 😂
You and your family are an inspiration
Enjoyed this chat this week Zach..looking forward to the news videos..hope your thumb is better soon ❤
Me too!! Glad you enjoyed!
Zach, I had to laugh at the way you said you hate lima beans!! I hate them too! Don't even put them near me! Loved your Q&A video! Look forward to your next recipe!
Yess! It’s the texture for me
Would LOVE the hamburger bun and mac and cheese recipes!! Burgers with mac and cheese are a staple dinner in our house, so I'm always looking to spice them up!
Ahh yes! You’re gonna love this then!
Being from Alabama and country, I like your cooking style and have made most of your recipes.
That’s great to hear! I love when people try these!!
Can totally relate to being let down by restaurants. In fact sometimes I do copycat recipes and they taste better than the original 😊
Absolutely!!! And more consistently! It seems like when I try something I love, if I start ordering it consistently, it ends up being so different each time 😂
Yes steak recipe and cooking episode and your family chicken casserole too!
So many things to cook!
Love your cooking channel!
So glad you enjoy it!
Thanks Zac
Thank you Zachery I’m sorry for being late for watching, just got a lot going on 😊
A cookbook with a pasta theme (both Italian food and other pasta dishes) would be great!
Well I don’t want the Italians to hate me 😂 but I would love to put some family favorites in a book for sure!
Look up Chicken Riggies, it's popular here in Central New York. That's what we are making for dinner tonight. Blueberry Buttermilk pancakes are my favorite for breakfast-blueberries are in season right now. What a fun Q & A! Please do a other one with Whitney 🌼
We will both do one sometime for sure!! I will have to look that up!!
One of my favorites hobbies is cooking.
It’s so relaxing!
Can you please link your recommendations here also? Some of us don’t have instagram. Thank you! ❤
I’m trying to learn this platform, but yes I will!
Love your recipes and this channel! Highly recommend!
You are so sweet! Glad you love them!
It’s true I feel like the best cooking is done at home . After 2020 I feel like I just prefer it also it is cheaper and it’s also more satisfying to grow your own in the garden
I agree! And it’s definitely cheaper!
@@Thebateskitchen yes I agree also we are at the point in our family where the the kids are flying the nest . Our oldest goes back to finish college next month , our younger daughter married last month so it leaves us with just our youngest who’s a freshman . I’m looking forward to working with him on meal plans this fall , he’s learning to cook
A cook book would be amazing!
It sounds exciting!
MY Newest Bates Favorite Channel ❤️🙏
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying!!!
Love a good chicken casserole. Would you share sometime? Thanks for all the Q&As. Also, I would like to see just down home family recipes as they remind me of my growing up in Mississippi. Looking forward to next week.
I’m sure we will get to it sometime!
Crabapple jelly is so delicious. And yes stainless steel beats nonstick any day. I like the Revereware stainless steel pans. I collect them from thrift stores and yard sales. They last a lifetime like cast iron too. Enjoyed your Q and A.
My mom had revere ware with the copper bottoms!!!
@@Thebateskitchen Yes those are the kind I collect. They are well made.
Good job! I think you will be very successful with your ventures. Blessings.
Well I’m having a lot of fun, so as far as I am concerned that is success!!! Thank you so much!
Which pan do you use for making eggs? And what do you use so it doesn't stick?
It depends on what I’m making but I pretty much use stainless steel and cast iron primarily. I forgot to mention that I use porcelain though for baking, which is also nontoxic… for making the food not stick; if I’m cooking hotter I will use ghee, or avocado oil, and if lower and slower butter or olive oil!
@@Thebateskitchen Thank you!
I'm still learning .
Zach,thanks for sharing your cooking skills with us. 😂
Just glad you are enjoying them!
So every Bates is just the most precious person ever? Good parents, good kids!
You are so sweet! Social media makes everyone look good though!
My favorite jelly is blackberry. I love your family and channel.
Thanks for watching! Mine are blackberry and grape but I like pretty much all kinds of jelly
I did make two jams this year from our Apple and pear tree, but I have to save my favorite is strawberry freezer jam and it’s so easy!
That sounds so good! I’d love to learn that one!
Have you ever cooked/baked with hydrosols or essential oils? I work for Bayliss Botanicals in Northern California where we grow, harvest and distill organic essential oils and hydrosol. I’ve recently used hydrosols to replace water in recipes. It’s amazing and so healthy. Adds natural flavor & aroma to your recipes.
I have not! I’m not familiar!
