Your kids are wonderful ! In a world where some full grown adults can't make a simple meal, watching your kids master this essential life skill is very refreshing.
Hi there! We totally get it and agree! There’s so much convenience and fast foods nowadays that most people don’t cook or can’t cook. I think it’s still a great skill for the kiddos to have. Do you have kids yourself?
even with only the 2 of us, I do some meal prep. I always do batch prepping (beans, lentils, grains, shredded cabbage & carrots, plus I roast up some potatoes and some beets each week). I loved seeing how you and the kids do your meal prep. What a great sense of accomplishment for them.
@@thehaipath I'm vegan for animals first (our earthling animal family), I love the energy & vibe of your videos, there's so much compassion and love in how you raise your family. 🥰
Thank you, as vegans every cruel saying should be replaced with a compassionate one. I often say cut 2 carrots with one knife, but i love the replacement for the cruel bird saying to yours. I will definitely be using that one now as well.
It’s fantastic to see the huge variety of veg and beans going into your children’s meals! This is how we eat and hubby and I have never been healthier.
OMG I am so happy I found this video and channel! Can't wait to see more! I have two growing boys and would love to master meal prep for our vegan family! Thank you :)
Hello there we are so glad you found us and are here! It’s awesome to hear your family is on a plant based vegan journey too, many more families should try it! New meal prep videos come out every week so stay tuned. 🥰
Mercy is so cute! 🥹☺️ All your kids are. I'm sharing this with my own kiddos to get them interested in working in the kitchen with me. Thanks for sharing! Everything looks great. 😊
As a single man i do the basic prep. I would have liked to do more especially BAKING dishes but you know that. Your preps are SOOOOOO amazing. I try to do some.😊❤👍🇯🇲
Hi Christina! So glad you found our channel we can’t wait to see you more on our future videos all the way from England! I have a few friends there from high school and would love to visit someday. Are you plant based too?
@@thehaipath Hiya. Yes, I've been so inspired by youtubers and my biggest issue was yoghurt. It sounds silly but now there are some brilliant alternatives I'm embracing it much more. Xx
Yes you can probably make your own yoghurt to make it even better. We purchased the starter for yoghurt but never made it yet haha maybe we can try it together 😆
Thank you so much Linda! WOW a cookbook! My husband was just talking to me about maybe writing a book in the future ha! You’ve definitely gave it confirmation, I will definitely work towards this! 🥰
Great meal prep ideas. Don't forget to remind viewers to "share" your videos!! I'm enjoying watching your numbers soar. It's a testament to your hard work and commitment!! P.S. It was nice getting a peek at your oldest son helping in this video. Kudos to all the kiddos!
@@thehaipathok I made a pot of black beans for enchiladas, jalapeno hummus, chocolate PB granola, walnut "meat"and two loaves of vegan lunch meat. I'm still going to make some Hawaiian macaroni salad, tortilla chips, brownies or cookies, and tofu scramble.
Kia ora! I loved this meal prep, they always inspire me to try new ideas. I mostly prep weekly and do enjoy it .. well mostly lol. Can I say great job Mercy and Israel, you looked so professional! I'm definitely going to try the exact same potatoes and hummus Mercy, they looked so yummy! God bless y'all 🙏😁
Kia Ora Karen! How are ya? That’s awesome you prep every week, it really helps doesn’t it. I know these meals helped us this week for sure when we’re in a rut. Doing these videos sure help us too 😃
Really,enjoy your videos and ideas you provide to eat healthier - your creativity and ability to cook for such a thriving family very endearing to see. What lovely little helpers all learning some valuable life skills. Appreciatively 🙏🏻
Hi Rebecca!! Thank you so much! We try to eat healthy, it’s especially important at this time because all you see is junk and convenience foods in the world. We appreciate and love having you here in the community! Thank you for the kind words 😍
It’s so nice to see Mercy and Isaiah participate in your videos …. Boys often get left out of the cooking process- I love that you include them all and also involve them in creating the videos….. ( hope I remembered their names correctly)
Haha! Go get yourself some veggies and do a meal prep while you watch our next one because we have a new meal prep video coming soon. Thank you for joining us! Do you meal prep often?
@@thehaipath not really large and I am 67 my family is spread out all over ..I do live with two of my daughters and 2 grandkids but they work and are not home a lot
@@thehaipath I do my best to cook at home. I am a single mom and there are 3 of us. It is important to me to fill everyone up with healthy food. Honestly, I don’t always have the time 🙃
I usually don't use recipes unless I see someone make something I haven't tried making :) The chili looks amazing, not just for mac, but with rice and cornbread would be soooo good. Im gonna do this this week! :) @@thehaipath
I have been trying to find vegetarian / vegan recipes to eat healthier and more mindfully, that my wife would like, too. I just made your chili Mac, and I think I may persuade her with it! ❤ thank you
Hi there Tyler! Thank you so much for your comment and for your love and support! We hope she enjoys our chili mac as much as we did, it’s really super easy and family friendly. Excited to hear about your journey more often, let us know how the Mac goes with your wife!
@@thehaipath I ended up with SO MUCH. Okay but here’s what I did, since we are more vegetarian and not full vegan - I made a cheese sauce with cheddar, water, olive oil, and flour. Then combined with mac, layered in dishes with the chili, covered with breadcrumbs and cheese and baked it for about 30 minutes at 400. Oh boy, let me tell you - maybe the best thing I’ve ever made. Thank you again!
@tylerjamesnewton1422 🤤🤤 that sounds AMAZING!! I do miss cheese sometimes I’m not going to lie but only if I hear about it or see it. You should try our crispy potatoes next, we have a video! Check it out! That’s one to impress the Mrs with!
@@thehaipath I think the sauce could be done with nutritional yeast? The self-rising flour I used in it made it crisp up in the oven. I also have a big pan the way you made it, and both are just as good. I will check out the potatoes for sure! And trying the burritos in this video. Making hummus, all that - definitely inspired.
This looks great! I’m curious why you put lettuce in the burritos if you are going to cook and freeze them? I assume the lettuce will be so wilted and soggy. Any suggestions on how to prevent that?
Hello there! When we made these burritos we weren’t actively thinking about the wilting of lettuce 😅 however when we warmed them up the kids did not complain about any wilted lettuce, seems like the ingredients all just mashed together and it was fine. If you’re not into that then you can of course omit it and serve a salad on the side, we just like to add some greens and veggies in as much as possible 🥰
Hi Anna! We do reheat them in the oven, we have not noticed it getting slimy but we do eat it rather quickly so maybe the day or two after prepping it.
Hi there we don’t normally cook with recipes but we have been adding recipes under our newer meal prep videos so you can try. You can definitely make these without a recipe and adjust to your taste buds!
Hi there! We mainly cook a lot freestyle so we don’t write recipes down however many of our newer meal prep videos will have a rough guide on making many of the recipes we make!
Thank you so much! The Hebrew word is actually spelt chai (ch is guttural) consisting of the two letters Chet and yud and it is the Hebrew word for life. You can say alive, living, vital however this is all symbolizing life.
I love how you cook by theory ☺️ I love watching the kids help you with all the chopping and everything that goes along with making everything come together. I don’t meal prep myself, but it’s inspiring to watch. My six kids are all grown with beautiful families of their own. But I’m in my 60’s renaissance and I love learning along with you and your food experiments and experiences.
Hi there Judith, thank you! We love incorporating the kids and teaching them young. Do you meal prep yourself or are you plant based? Hope you’re inspired to make some of these yourself.
@@thehaipath hi thanks for writing me back:) yes I’m plant based, and omgosh, I’m meal prepping for the first time; plus I like to experiment, like you🥰..I’m just so curious, and I love to see how left overs can be repurposed. So like, last week I made this vegetable broth from everything Inhad on hand - turnips from the food bank, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots -these amazing stewed vegetables, remained after all-day simmering, and seasonings, and straining for a broth to knock your socks off. I refrigerated the stewed vegetables just because they looked and smelled so savory from all the seasonings. So last night I had an idea to pulse them smooth, and to my shock it looked texturally, just like ground beef had been added- the shape in all😵 so I added a 10oz tin of tomatoe sauce and 10oz tin of cubed tomatoes and seasoned again and it looked just like a bolognese I’d been cooking all day. I loaded it with fresh garlic, and put it in the oven overnight at 170 degrees and this morning I’m prepping a layered spaghetti with it, with kelp fettuccine noodles, and (9calories for the whole pkg of noodles😍) a dusting of nutritional yeast and I’ll bake again on super low just to meld, and then cut into serving sizes to freeze for my dinners next week. I wish you could smell the aromas from the “bolognese” and I’m just so excited to be prepping for the first time and I’m so thankful for how it supports my new healthy lifestyle❤️🙏🏽 thanks again !
@JudithArtHouse I am truly a sucker for bolognese sauce oh man! Your creation sounds so good what a great way to use everything up! If you meal prep too you won’t be looking to always have to chop and cook for those days you don’t want to! 😄
Totally respect that you're a Vegan. At the same time, where do you think it's okay to make That decisionfor your children.. There's so many other options.And yes they might not be vegan. But they don't get to enjoy in that part
We believe eating a plant based diet is the healthiest way to live, and as parents it’s our responsibility to raise kids in the very best way we can think of. And as parents we are responsible for their health and safety. We’re not sure if you assume being plant based or vegan that kids are missing out or just not getting nutrition? Because we guarantee they’re getting way more nutrition than a lot of meat eating families out there and they’re definitely are not missing out on anything. What specifically do you think they don’t get to enjoy? Cakes? Cookies? Junk food? There are lots of snacky foods the kids enjoy weekly too on top of kid friendly foods at home
@@thehaipath youre starving the kids. Give them meat and offer them a vegan meal afterwards. I guarantee you they wont want to eat vegan meals anymore. I cant believe you would do that to the children. Im deeply offended that you would STARVE your children by not giving them the proteins and fats that they need.
This little kid should not work with that big sharp knife and hot oven and hot food. She made her work like a maid. The kid looks so exhausted. This is not okay. The baby didn't help, actually she cooked like an adult.
That kids knife skills are excellent! She’s clearly been taught from a young age which is fantastic. Kids are generally more capable then most adults allow them to be for fear of the hurting themselves - sensible risk assessment is all that’s needed and clearly this mum has it down and has taught her kids well
We appreciate your love and knowledgeable response! Yes the kids have always held a knife they start with a butter knife, then steak knife and have graduated to kitchen knives. They are careful and of course we make sure they’re always safe
Why would anyone think it’s ok to have 5 kids in a world where many people decide not to have kids due to overpopulation? It’s selfish in my opinion. And I just don’t understand it.
The issue isn’t overpopulation, the issue is population density and overconsumption. If we spread out our population and only consume what we need and live a sustainable life style where everyone tries to grow their own foods and support local farms and businesses, we wouldn’t be worried about “overpopulation”. We’ve made our choice and the result of that is 5 beautiful children that we get to enjoy and hopefully one day they will be able to enjoy their children. The purpose of life is to give life and transfer the knowledge we have accumulated. So if you and others decide to stop one of the most basic aspects of life because you’re afraid or believe the entire planet can’t contain us, don’t judge us because we don’t.
@@thehaipath you can transfer your genes and knowledge with one child. You don’t need so many. That’s my point. I’m not saying everyone should stop having kids altogether.
It’s selfish to assume everyone should live the same lifestyle that you have. Something tells me that if a TINY minority of people are having more than 2 kids it won’t affect overpopulation in the slightest. Populations will still decrease pretty rapidly over the next century so no need to get your panties in a bunch.
Nikce meal prep. It is so nice to see that you are teaching your children how to cook and prepare food.
Thank you so much Kathy! We feel it’s important to teach them young so they have a base skill when they’re all grown up and leave me 😭
Love how the younger children are so eager to help their mom. Israel and Emmanuel chipped sometimes too.😊❤👍
Your kids are wonderful ! In a world where some full grown adults can't make a simple meal, watching your kids master this essential life skill is very refreshing.
Hi there! We totally get it and agree! There’s so much convenience and fast foods nowadays that most people don’t cook or can’t cook. I think it’s still a great skill for the kiddos to have. Do you have kids yourself?

Hi Diane! Thank you so much! We hope one day the kids learn to do this themselves and this helps them when they get older 😊
I’m not a mom yet but this is so beautiful to see vegan children getting nutritious meals!☺️
Hi VeganBug! Aww thank you! Excited to hear when you have your kiddos what you’ll feed em too ☺️ have you been vegan your whole life?
feeding two birds with one scone 🥰
That is too cute 🥰 I love that saying now! Are you plant based or vegan too?
@@thehaipath I'm vegan for animals first (our earthling animal family), I love the energy & vibe of your videos, there's so much compassion and love in how you raise your family. 🥰
hahaha, I went to the comments to say the same thing! 😊💛
Thank you, as vegans every cruel saying should be replaced with a compassionate one. I often say cut 2 carrots with one knife, but i love the replacement for the cruel bird saying to yours. I will definitely be using that one now as well.
Me too...vegan for animals first. ❤
It’s fantastic to see the huge variety of veg and beans going into your children’s meals! This is how we eat and hubby and I have never been healthier.
That’s so awesome it’s a great thing to eat this way! You don’t lack anything as long as you have balance
Another thing to really flavor up the hummus for burritos is to add chipotle peppers.
Hello Cultivatedbee! Ooh chipotle really does kick it up a notch! I should find some yummy chipotle peppers at the store!
Again! Another impressive meal prep! And love how the kids are so helpful and open to eat these amazing meals!
Thank you for joining us Jocelyn! By now I feel like they’re enjoy embracing this lifestyle 😋😋
I enjoy your videos so much and just love seeing the children help too! Thank you so much!

I think that's what you meant to ask on a VEGAN channel. 😊
This little kid should not work with that big sharp knife and hot oven and hot food. She made her work like a maid. The kid looks so exhausted. This is not okay. The baby didn't help, actually she cooked like an adult.
Thank you for the feedback! Our daughter has great knife skills we have great confidence in her in the kitchen because we taught her since young.
That kids knife skills are excellent! She’s clearly been taught from a young age which is fantastic. Kids are generally more capable then most adults allow them to be for fear of the hurting themselves - sensible risk assessment is all that’s needed and clearly this mum has it down and has taught her kids well
We appreciate your love and knowledgeable response! Yes the kids have always held a knife they start with a butter knife, then steak knife and have graduated to kitchen knives. They are careful and of course we make sure they’re always safe
Why would anyone think it’s ok to have 5 kids in a world where many people decide not to have kids due to overpopulation? It’s selfish in my opinion. And I just don’t understand it.
The issue isn’t overpopulation, the issue is population density and overconsumption. If we spread out our population and only consume what we need and live a sustainable life style where everyone tries to grow their own foods and support local farms and businesses, we wouldn’t be worried about “overpopulation”. We’ve made our choice and the result of that is 5 beautiful children that we get to enjoy and hopefully one day they will be able to enjoy their children. The purpose of life is to give life and transfer the knowledge we have accumulated. So if you and others decide to stop one of the most basic aspects of life because you’re afraid or believe the entire planet can’t contain us, don’t judge us because we don’t.
@@thehaipath you can transfer your genes and knowledge with one child. You don’t need so many. That’s my point. I’m not saying everyone should stop having kids altogether.
This is such a hateful statement to make to someone! I only hope you can bring more joy to the world you seem so concerned about.
It’s selfish to assume everyone should live the same lifestyle that you have. Something tells me that if a TINY minority of people are having more than 2 kids it won’t affect overpopulation in the slightest. Populations will still decrease pretty rapidly over the next century so no need to get your panties in a bunch.
