In order to know when the oil is hot enough, it's a good idea to put one kernel in with the oil as it heats. When that pops, you put the rest in! That takes the guessing out.
Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful day. Just wanted to let you know that you are loved, and you are all amazing people no matter what anyone says. Have a nice day!
I have a bowel disease, and I had to get a special bloodtest to be certain I was gluten intolerant or not. Just saying so maeby you can look into that, because it can be soooooo many other things :) Please look into it so you aren't misinformed and don't eat after the wrong diet :)
+Christina Nielsen I agree with you. It is always better to have a second or maybe a third opinion. It is ok to eat healthy, but cutting of certain things can damage the body, f.e. no carb an just protein which can lead to kidney failure. AND healthy does not mean no gluten or no sugar... I eat healthy, a lot of vegetables, a lot of fish, no processed meat, just because I don' like it, but I eat things like ice cream and ''bad'' stuff and my bloodtests are pretty good. So eat healthy and eat crap...just find a way between both. the most important thing is to feel good and be happy
+Laurel Daly I have to agree with you, as someone who is studying to get certified as a nutritionist along side a personal trainer cert, it is really easy. You just need money and they provide all the supplies, and my exam is actually done from home, so I can even use my book. I'm using it to just help people start out eating healthier, but I want people to know that I am not a dietitian/doctor. For something like intolerance to certain things, it's always best to go to someone like an allergist
+Paige Findley To be a nutritionist is a great thing. A lot of people don't know about the basic things, but especially with allergies you have to visit a doctor, like you said.
Haha this isn't extreme and it isn't a fad. Nor did we learn her gluten sensitivities were from a hair test. I get where your coming from but gluten sensitivities without having celiac disease is very much real. Very few things in life are binary like you speak of, there are varying levels of sensitivity. I know that the minute I reintroduce gluten into my diet I have inflammation, congestion, and diminished energy.
Elephant ears!!! They are the best! Anytime there is like a fair or even like a big event like 4th of July or something and venders come out my Dad and I have this cute tradition of always sharing an Elephant Ear. I'm almost 25 and we still do it every chance we get!
I like how honest you and Amanda are in your vlogs - you both seem really down to earth and really family oriented and it's refreshing to see people like that on youtube - thanks for always being positive.
2:00, That's a lot of Zevia. I also love how gentle you are with the popcorn. I made popcorn at a theater for a couple of years and it's so fun watching people learn it. :3
I highly recommend Amish Country popcorn, for non-GMO kernels. My favorite of theirs is the midnight blue, but they have a large selection of ...breeds? The flavor of each is subtly different, and they sell them in some fairly small bags, so you can sample a few.
Make more babies brothers are awesome! My brothers and I just started making daily videos and its been an amazing bonding experience! If any of you have some free time we would love to get some feedback on it! :)
I used to work at a cinema and made popcorn everyday, it's common for not all of it to pop. You made it perfectly as far as I can see. Though we used to add a little spoonful of powdered yellow salt to ours.
I'm sure you don't see these posts anymore since this vlog is so old but Thank You! I'm trying to catch up on everything but you guys want me to be healthier! Zevia is our family's new drink (hubby and daughter since I don't drink anything carbonated). You guys are just so loving and happy that you can't help but love you all! Luna is a lucky girl!
When I did popcorn like that for school concessions, I put the oil in with the kernels before heating it and then turn the stirrer and heat on. And if I remember correctly, you also put salt in there as it pops. That should allow the majority of the kernels to pop before the oil burns the popcorn :) And for the QOTD.... Elephant ears for sure! And Cotton candy.... and pop! (or soda, whatever you wanna call it)
You have to look at the boiling point of the oils tho. Some oils get heated to quickly to use it for certain methods. Peanut Oil is good for frying and stuff.
Funnel cakes! 😋 we have a popcorn machine. It's always so fun until we have to clean it! 😩 it's so good of you guys to take care of yourselves and eat well and to share this important info!!! But don't drive yourselves too crazy and still have splurge days here and there! We eat clean and organic at home and splurge when we are out. Life is too short and all this stuff can just add more stress to your life. And stress is the biggest cause of sickness/cancer. Love and light to all three of you!!! So excited for you and your journey this year!!! 💚
Ok but GMOs really aren't something to freak out about or avoid, we've been changing the genetic make up of the organisms we consume for thousands of years through artificial selection. Another thing is that with out science like this there is no way we will be able to feed everyone in the future (we can't even hardly do that now). People tend to panic over GMOs because they're genetically modified organism when really they aren't any different from regular foods.
Not really GMO can be harmful, they are putting pesticides in our food to stop and kill bugs, if that stuff is in our plants that we eat we need to think of the long term affect. The companies who make these products are keeping everything confidential so don't know exactly what genes are in our food!
+Jackie Henrietta That's not what GMO means. Organic foods don't have pesticides, but GMO means that the plants have been advanced to be able to grow bigger fruits or withstand disease. There's no reason to believe GMOs are harmful.
There's actually plenty of evidence and research discerning that GMOs negatively affect ones health. So much so, there are regulations and certifications a company must go through to prove that their products are not genetically modified.
I also love funnel cakes, Amanda. They are the perfect combination of fried batter and powdered sugar. I want to find a funnel cake maker kit when I have money but for now all my money goes towards college expenses. There are some kits that let you make them into different artsy patterns. It's a great and fun idea to do when having family over, especially for Bella and Arianna. Also love yo blogs.
I am also gluten free and it can b annoying at times. Make sure you check all the ingredance. On the bottom of the ingredance list it should say "may contain:" and if it says WHEAT stay away. You most likely knew that but thats my advice. Online are some great recipies but i do not suggest it as a diet. Love you guys and Congrats on the baby!!
You can also put it all together in the popcorn pot thing before heating it up. (My step dad has a popcorn machine) We used to do that way but we leaned that if we put it all in the put before putting it the machine.
QOTD: Funnel cake! There is always a booth at my local fair that has the most amazing funnel cakes. They top them with so many different things. I had this eclair funnel cake which was the funnel cake with Bavarian cream and chocolate drizzle with some powdered sugar. It was diabetes on a plate but a taste from heaven!
The baby will be beautiful like Amanda, funny like Matthias, adorable big ears like Matthias, and awesome fashion sense like Amanda! I'm so happy for you guys
Question of the day- My favorite fair food is one I get every time the fair comes to my town, CHILLY CHEESE FRIES. They're really bad for me, but they are soooooo amazing I can't consider it a good year if I don't get them at the fair every time. I got them last year so good year :)
Matt and Amanda- You guys been such entertaining vloggers and even when it's a slow day, i still love the vlogs. I hope you have a great day. Thanks so much and congrats on the baby once again.
Just wait til that holder at the bottom is full. I worked at a movie theater once and could bag popcorn, with butter if the customer wanted, in under a minute for a regular bag. We added the salt in the hopper with the kernels and oil. Good luck! Also, funnel cakes are my favorite carnival food! :D
i usually turn the heat off when the oil is ready and before I turn the stirrer on, I put the popcorn kernels in and then turn the stirrer and heat on just some tips :)
That popcorn machine brings back memories from working in Sunday School. We had rotating classes and I worked with my mother in the "movie" class. We popped popcorn in a machine just like that every Sunday to prepare small bags for the kids! We used to have packages of kernels already in the oil and butter (very unhealthy but crazy yummy) so all we had to do was turn on the machine's heat and stir setting and wait for the popcorn to cook. Matthias, friend, the scoop works a lot easier when you use a forward scooping motion instead of a side scoop motion to scoop up the popcorn! Just fyi.
Hi Matt and Amanda, hope you're having a lovely day!! Regarding the popcorn maker, we always make our own popcorn, and we use coconut oil. Coconut oil has an extremely high smoke point, so it's safer, and adds a good taste to the popcorn. Additionally, it is what they use or used to use in movie theaters. That's just a suggestion. Oh, regarding the question of the day, nothing beats funnel cake!!!
My grandparents have a popcorn maker that looks basically the same, but it's red. They've had it since I was a baby and I remember we used to have a little popcorn song and dance that my brother and I would do whenever my papa made popcorn. That's one of the reasons why I love popcorn so much. It brings back good memories. Plus, it tastes yummy. I know it isn't interesting, but I just had to write that.
If you guys are going to eat a lot of organic things, I highly recommend trying to see if there is a Fresh and Easy around you guys, they have a ton of healthy foods! I use to get stuff there... But the one nearby me went out of business and the closest one is like an hour away now.
my family has been making popcorn like that for FOREVER! My grandpa collects old poppers and it's kind of become a tradition. We have two poppers in our house, and make it by the gallons. It was so funny watching you guys timidly work at it. Here's a few tips: You don't have to leave the oil the heat up very long, it heats up just fine with the corn. We turn the heat and stirrer on at the same time and leave it for ... 30-45 seconds before adding kernals. Salt the kernals before putting them in about a 1/3 or 1/4 tsp or so to 1/2 a cup of corn, it depends how you like it. As soon as the popcorn is not pushing it's way out of the kettle anymore you can dump it. (if your popper's like ours you shouldn't need an oven mitt) Your sweeping to get rid of kernals was spot on. You shouldn't have to add anything like salt if you put popcorn salt with the kernals. Popcorn from machines like this is still tasty days later. :) Best of luck with your popper, and congratulations!
Funnel cake lol said that while you were saying it Amanda and it's a thing me and grandma always got even at kings island and btw you might want to get a strong degreaser to clean the machine bc it will start staining the metal and the windows! We use to have a popcorn machine at rural king and I had to clean it every night and make popcorn all the time
have a great day guys but mine is popcorn because almost everything else there has a lot of sugar on it :-\ my least favorite is funnel cake because of how it smells I don't know how to describe it. Hope it stops raining and I hope you feel the baby again! sending positivity from PA
QOTD: Favorite carnival sweet is definitely popcorn and funnel cake for me too. Matthias, I love popcorn too!When I have my own home I will be getting a large popcorn maker like that one, it definitely worth having because popcorn is a great snack. I have an air popper at home that I use and add my own salt and butter. I love the salt shaker (very cool present). Also Amanda, you may want to get your hair tested again after the baby is born. Studies have shown that babies can change a mothers genetic codes, so that may effect what you can and can't eat.
I work at a movie theater so heres some advice for the popcorn maker: Turn on the heat and spinner first, then add the kernels and immediately add the oil. Turn off the heat as soon as it starts popping (on your last batch)! Hope this helps!
Coconut oil is full of saturated fats though. You can stick with olive oil, canola oil, stuff like that, and if you're planning on cooking witht he oil make sure to buy oil specifically for cooking because some natural oils are only meant to be eaten raw or to be heated below a certain amount of heat, if they get hotter they turn into trans fats.
Favorite carnival treat is either Elephant ear or popcorn. And, I have that same popcorn maker, but mine is red. My dad broke a switch though, so we cannot use it anymore.
my best friend use to have a big popcorn maker like yours, I loved it so much that my dad bought me one for my birthday. you need butter salt it is delicious. as for the question of the day my favorite carnival food is giant curly fry from fear farm.
Coconut oil and salt, are absolutely perfect to combine in making popcorn. :) I'm a huge popcorn fanatic and make my own popcorn, and those ingredients are the best!!!
Watching this episode reminds me of my nephew, who's 8 has a super addiction i swear to Popcorn he just loves it to no end. This Christmas I bought him an old timer pop corn maker *just like Matthias's just smaller and red. he loves making popcorn and every time i turn around he wants me to make it with him. :) My favorite fair treat would probably be Strawberry shortcake , they make them with scones as the cake and the warm strawberry compote as the topping with whip cream, they are so good and now i want one !!! lol
Matt you are going to be the BEST dad!!! Your kid will be so cute and I'm sure it's going to love you and Amanda for Eva!!!!! (And Amanda will be the best mom
Favorite carnivals/fair food....where do I start. Here I. The northeast we have Italian sausage with onions and peppers, then there a fried dough topped with sugar....yummy yummy
I just wanted to say how happy I am for you both! I watch your videos everyday and they make me so happy, thank you for being you! I love you both so much!😜
I have been to the fair 3 times in my life, 2 of the times was when i was a kid with my healthnut parents. I didn't really get to eat much for carnival foods so I will have to say that popcorn with LOADS of butter is probably my favorite! I have tried cotton candy maybe once (I am not even sure if it was at the fair O: ) and I liked it quite a bit!
The 1st movements feel like butterflies! It's incredible! Don't doubt yourself mama! Congratulations guys! Be on the look out for a Mommy and dad package coming your way from Florida ;)
I also forgot to add my favorite Carnival food is Kettle Corn! I actually made some stove top kettle corn today and let me just say I am super jealous of your popcorn maker! I use to have one as a kid ( my parents did the making, I just ate it!) but I share your love for popcorn Matt!!
I love popcorn. I used to work at a movie theater when I was about 17-20 years old (Im 26 now) and I hated cleaning out the popcorn machine. Omg Mattias/Amanda you will hate cleaning it out over time. Nasty gunk of oil starts to form if you dont maintain it well and sometimes certain areas are difficult to reach. Also, if you use special popcorn machine cleaner, you always have to throw away the first batch of popcorn, due to all the chemicals.
Almost any carnival food is great to me, only because I don't go to one all that much. But if I had to narrow it down, it would have to be either funnel cake or caramel apples. Also this video made me crave for popcorn, so I had to journey off to the kitchen to make some (lol). Thank you for posting such a cute video for my B-day, hope the little Jedi in Amanda's tummy is doing well, and have a good one!
Yes, you can feel it early. It feels sort of like a fish flopping around! Like something wiggling on your insides, that isn't a feeling you've ever felt before. =) I'm pretty sure that you did feel the baby moving. Congratulations!
Amanda don't worry being off of gluten isn't that bad! There are so many substitutes that are healthier and so many opportunities to try new things that are usually delicious! And sometimes your body can adapt and the sensitivity goes away. That has began to happen to me, the effects of eating gluten are not as intense anymore
Favorite carnival treat has to be the Shish Ka Bobs from the Golden Dragon in the Texas Renaissance Festival, home cooked steak with Bell peppers and onions! MMMM!
I miss popcorn... but I can't have corn or wheat... or sugar... or starch... lol. QOTD: If I could go carbs up at the carnival, elephant ears, corn dogs, and french fries with tons of malt vinegar. Yeah...
I work in a popcorn shop and we have a popcorn machine similar but its like, SUPER huge! When you clean it, all it needs is Windex for the glass and what not. (It takes about two times on each glass pane) You can use a nice hot, soapy rag to clean the metal plate in the bottom, unless it's removable then you can actually wash it. (The one at the shop isn't because of a wire attached to the bottom) You were also right about the holes in the metal plate, it catches the little bits and unpoped kernels. XD Now the thing that pops the popcorn I have no idea, the employees, which are mostly high school/college girls, are not allowed to remove it. I hope ya'll enjoy it!!! ^-^ QOTD: Cotton Candy!!!!! The pink kind!
Good luck with the gluten intolerance, once you get used to it it's not so bad, I myself have celiac disease. Highly suggest looking for corn pasta, it's delicious.
Yep. She did felt the baby move i was feeling my baby move a lot on the 12th week 1 week before i miscarried. And yes, it felt like little butterflies. About your nutrition, I study this, be careful and REALLY and I mean REALLY read the ingredients to make sure there's not something you guys cannot consume. About the sugar a good replacement is blue organic agave and organic honey.
My blood parents did nada when I was a fetus. They actually did bad things especially my mom.. Glad you guys are responsible for this child, it makes me happy of how much stuff you're already doing for him or her! You are going to be great parents!
That machine looks like so much fun. My favorite carnival dessert is funnel cake, ever since I was 5 my parents would take my sister and I took the rodeo at our fairgrounds and we'd always get a funnel cake before we watched the bull riding. 17 and I've never passed up going to the fair for some funnel cake.
Their child is going to be so smol and adorable I'm so happy for them! ^_^
Let's see who's ears they get! 😉
+Cute Girl YAAASS
the baby is going to be the cutest, coolest nerd XD
+Amelia Lozano I hope it has matthias's ears
***** ya that would be soo cute

+Katie Reid And you shall have a nice year
Thanks!
+Katie Reid You too Katie! Thank you!!!
Why thank you, I hope you have a nice day
I love how nice Matt treats Amanda. He just randomly calls her beautiful and lovely all the time. So nice!
I have a bowel disease, and I had to get a special bloodtest to be certain I was gluten intolerant or not. Just saying so maeby you can look into that, because it can be soooooo many other things :) Please look into it so you aren't misinformed and don't eat after the wrong diet :)
+Christina Nielsen They went to a doctor that specializes in diets.
+Christina Nielsen I agree with you. It is always better to have a second or maybe a third opinion. It is ok to eat healthy, but cutting of certain things can damage the body, f.e. no carb an just protein which can lead to kidney failure. AND healthy does not mean no gluten or no sugar...

2:00, That's a lot of Zevia. I also love how gentle you are with the popcorn. I made popcorn at a theater for a couple of years and it's so fun watching people learn it. :3

I used to work at a cinema and made popcorn everyday, it's common for not all of it to pop. You made it perfectly as far as I can see. Though we used to add a little spoonful of powdered yellow salt to ours.
"Popcorn's just something you need in your life." Can I get get that on a tshirt?

QOTD: Elephant Ears!
What on earth are those? Haha
+Matt & Amanda Dough rolled out like a tortilla, fried, with butter and cinnamon sugar. DELICOUS!
+Hailey Gallatin soooo good
+RainbowWolf7 You know it.
+Hailey Gallatin yup 👌🏼

Funnel cake and cotton candy. Hands down.

You have to look at the boiling point of the oils tho. Some oils get heated to quickly to use it for certain methods. Peanut Oil is good for frying and stuff.
QOTD: fresh baked soft pretzels!
yes! I love soft pretzels!
YOUR BABY IS GOING TO BE SO SMOL AND ADORABLE AND IM SO HAPPY FOR BOTH OF YOU
My best friend says it feels like small bubbles bursting in your stomach. So it maybe the baby she felt 😊
Yes that's what it felt like! I didn't know how to describe it and don't know anyone else who is pregnant who may know how it feels!
+Matt & Amanda u guys rock BTW I live in Newfoundland but I stent you a letter hope you get it
Matt & Amanda wee.. Sounds amazing and once again congratulations with the baby and have a really nice day :-D

They actually do genetically modified to prevent pests.

I love popcorn I always use the red kernel popcorn they taste so much better and I add some coconut oil with Himalayan pink salt it is so good.
Congrats on 1,000 videos! This is going to be an exciting year for you both!
Question of the day- My favorite fair food is one I get every time the fair comes to my town, CHILLY CHEESE FRIES. They're really bad for me, but they are soooooo amazing I can't consider it a good year if I don't get them at the fair every time. I got them last year so good year :)

I LOVE cactus fries! And a tip, scoop forward rather than from the side using the wider opening.
my family has been making popcorn like that for FOREVER! My grandpa collects old poppers and it's kind of become a tradition. We have two poppers in our house, and make it by the gallons. It was so funny watching you guys timidly work at it. Here's a few tips: You don't have to leave the oil the heat up very long, it heats up just fine with the corn. We turn the heat and stirrer on at the same time and leave it for ... 30-45 seconds before adding kernals. Salt the kernals before putting them in about a 1/3 or 1/4 tsp or so to 1/2 a cup of corn, it depends how you like it. As soon as the popcorn is not pushing it's way out of the kettle anymore you can dump it. (if your popper's like ours you shouldn't need an oven mitt) Your sweeping to get rid of kernals was spot on. You shouldn't have to add anything like salt if you put popcorn salt with the kernals. Popcorn from machines like this is still tasty days later. :) Best of luck with your popper, and congratulations!
Funnel cake lol said that while you were saying it Amanda and it's a thing me and grandma always got even at kings island and btw you might want to get a strong degreaser to clean the machine bc it will start staining the metal and the windows! We use to have a popcorn machine at rural king and I had to clean it every night and make popcorn all the time
have a great day guys but mine is popcorn because almost everything else there has a lot of sugar on it :-\ my least favorite is funnel cake because of how it smells I don't know how to describe it. Hope it stops raining and I hope you feel the baby again! sending positivity from PA
My favorite carnival treat is funnel cake, hands down. It is so good! I once had it with strawberry compote on top at an amusement park...still good!
You guys are gonna be such good parents! I can't wait to see baby Mattanda and I wish you the best of luck! :D
My favorite carnival food? Probably either Pronto Pup, which is a really big corn dog, or fried cheese curds. The stuff you can't get all the time!
QOTD: Favorite carnival sweet is definitely popcorn and funnel cake for me too.
Matthias, I love popcorn too!When I have my own home I will be getting a large popcorn maker like that one, it definitely worth having because popcorn is a great snack. I have an air popper at home that I use and add my own salt and butter. I love the salt shaker (very cool present).
Also Amanda, you may want to get your hair tested again after the baby is born. Studies have shown that babies can change a mothers genetic codes, so that may effect what you can and can't eat.
I work at a movie theater so heres some advice for the popcorn maker:
Turn on the heat and spinner first, then add the kernels and immediately add the oil. Turn off the heat as soon as it starts popping (on your last batch)! Hope this helps!
Coconut oil is full of saturated fats though. You can stick with olive oil, canola oil, stuff like that, and if you're planning on cooking witht he oil make sure to buy oil specifically for cooking because some natural oils are only meant to be eaten raw or to be heated below a certain amount of heat, if they get hotter they turn into trans fats.
I'm so happy for your family! I love you guys so much and love this channel! Thank you!
That was the most cute and best popcorn demonstration I'v ever seen XD Amanda has the mommy glow for sure :)
Favorite carnival treat is either Elephant ear or popcorn. And, I have that same popcorn maker, but mine is red. My dad broke a switch though, so we cannot use it anymore.
my best friend use to have a big popcorn maker like yours, I loved it so much that my dad bought me one for my birthday. you need butter salt it is delicious. as for the question of the day my favorite carnival food is giant curly fry from fear farm.
Coconut oil and salt, are absolutely perfect to combine in making popcorn. :) I'm a huge popcorn fanatic and make my own popcorn, and those ingredients are the best!!!
Watching this episode reminds me of my nephew, who's 8 has a super addiction i swear to Popcorn he just loves it to no end. This Christmas I bought him an old timer pop corn maker *just like Matthias's just smaller and red. he loves making popcorn and every time i turn around he wants me to make it with him. :) My favorite fair treat would probably be Strawberry shortcake , they make them with scones as the cake and the warm strawberry compote as the topping with whip cream, they are so good and now i want one !!! lol
Matt you are going to be the BEST dad!!! Your kid will be so cute and I'm sure it's going to love you and Amanda for Eva!!!!! (And Amanda will be the best mom
WOW! Matt and Amanda this is already the 999th video good job guys! Keep up the work!
0:53 THEY'RE? WHAT? TWINS? Maybe not... I'm just hoping! my mom is pregnant with twins and is due in May. I'm so excited!
Favorite carnivals/fair food....where do I start. Here I. The northeast we have Italian sausage with onions and peppers, then there a fried dough topped with sugar....yummy yummy
I just wanted to say how happy I am for you both! I watch your videos everyday and they make me so happy, thank you for being you! I love you both so much!😜
I have been to the fair 3 times in my life, 2 of the times was when i was a kid with my healthnut parents. I didn't really get to eat much for carnival foods so I will have to say that popcorn with LOADS of butter is probably my favorite! I have tried cotton candy maybe once (I am not even sure if it was at the fair O: ) and I liked it quite a bit!
The 1st movements feel like butterflies! It's incredible! Don't doubt yourself mama! Congratulations guys! Be on the look out for a Mommy and dad package coming your way from Florida ;)
I also forgot to add my favorite Carnival food is Kettle Corn! I actually made some stove top kettle corn today and let me just say I am super jealous of your popcorn maker! I use to have one as a kid ( my parents did the making, I just ate it!) but I share your love for popcorn Matt!!
I love popcorn. I used to work at a movie theater when I was about 17-20 years old (Im 26 now) and I hated cleaning out the popcorn machine. Omg Mattias/Amanda you will hate cleaning it out over time. Nasty gunk of oil starts to form if you dont maintain it well and sometimes certain areas are difficult to reach. Also, if you use special popcorn machine cleaner, you always have to throw away the first batch of popcorn, due to all the chemicals.
Almost any carnival food is great to me, only because I don't go to one all that much. But if I had to narrow it down, it would have to be either funnel cake or caramel apples. Also this video made me crave for popcorn, so I had to journey off to the kitchen to make some (lol). Thank you for posting such a cute video for my B-day, hope the little Jedi in Amanda's tummy is doing well, and have a good one!
I wish you guys the best in your little boy/girl's future! You guys would be amazing parents!
Cotton Candy and Funnel Cake - especially the cotton candy! Glad to hear about the organic diet and that they have non-gmo popcorn at Target.
Yes, you can feel it early. It feels sort of like a fish flopping around! Like something wiggling on your insides, that isn't a feeling you've ever felt before. =) I'm pretty sure that you did feel the baby moving. Congratulations!
I love spiral spuds. They are so good and crispy!!!
Amanda don't worry being off of gluten isn't that bad! There are so many substitutes that are healthier and so many opportunities to try new things that are usually delicious! And sometimes your body can adapt and the sensitivity goes away. That has began to happen to me, the effects of eating gluten are not as intense anymore
This is amazing!!!! I can't wait for you two!!!!!
Favorite carnival treat has to be the Shish Ka Bobs from the Golden Dragon in the Texas Renaissance Festival, home cooked steak with Bell peppers and onions! MMMM!
I miss popcorn... but I can't have corn or wheat... or sugar... or starch... lol. QOTD: If I could go carbs up at the carnival, elephant ears, corn dogs, and french fries with tons of malt vinegar. Yeah...
I kinda like her..simple and beautiful:) I hope you guys make a video when you are goin to philippines for a vacation.
I work in a popcorn shop and we have a popcorn machine similar but its like, SUPER huge! When you clean it, all it needs is Windex for the glass and what not. (It takes about two times on each glass pane) You can use a nice hot, soapy rag to clean the metal plate in the bottom, unless it's removable then you can actually wash it. (The one at the shop isn't because of a wire attached to the bottom) You were also right about the holes in the metal plate, it catches the little bits and unpoped kernels. XD Now the thing that pops the popcorn I have no idea, the employees, which are mostly high school/college girls, are not allowed to remove it. I hope ya'll enjoy it!!! ^-^
QOTD: Cotton Candy!!!!! The pink kind!
Yay!!! I hope you are having a good day also the little nerdling!!
coconut oil popcorn is actually really good, especially with a sprinkle of sea salt. trust me try it out! :)
Good luck with the gluten intolerance, once you get used to it it's not so bad, I myself have celiac disease. Highly suggest looking for corn pasta, it's delicious.
Favourite Carnival treat would have to be either salted/sweet popcorn or candyfloss!! Love your daily vlogs, good luck with your nutrition!! :)
Awwww thts sooooo it's I'm really getting excited for you guys xx
I can't wait till they have a little tyke running around the house and being adorable in videos with them!
Yep. She did felt the baby move i was feeling my baby move a lot on the 12th week 1 week before i miscarried. And yes, it felt like little butterflies. About your nutrition, I study this, be careful and REALLY and I mean REALLY read the ingredients to make sure there's not something you guys cannot consume. About the sugar a good replacement is blue organic agave and organic honey.
watching this makes me miss working at amc theaters at downtown disney. i loved coming home smelling like popcorn every single day!
You guys are so cute together.... I love it! ❤️ QOTD: popcorn DEFINITELY!
Hello you lovely couple :))
My blood parents did nada when I was a fetus. They actually did bad things especially my mom.. Glad you guys are responsible for this child, it makes me happy of how much stuff you're already doing for him or her! You are going to be great parents!
Soft pretzels. So good! Hope everyone is having a good day.
Funnel cake is soooo good! It's definitely my favorite carnival treat! x3
At the Calgary Stampede, even though there's deep fried everything I absolutely love the pineapple ice cream... It's just amazing!
We have pretty much the same popcorn machine!! just without the stand, my dad built one that works great.
also Matthias scoop the popcorn upwards and to the right. I worked 5+ years at a movie theatre and could make popcorn like a pro now.
I have the exact same popcorn machine at my home except we have it in red!!
That machine looks like so much fun.
My favorite carnival dessert is funnel cake, ever since I was 5 my parents would take my sister and I took the rodeo at our fairgrounds and we'd always get a funnel cake before we watched the bull riding. 17 and I've never passed up going to the fair for some funnel cake.
I love funnel cake so goood
