    Aw! I love all the meals!! I'm working on a video similar to this one for our family of 13. I have been sharing our menus for years and thought creating a video showing how we do it all would be so much fun! You're an inspiration! I will surely credit the idea to you because your dinner video inspired me! Can't wait to see you hit 100K!!!

    telling kids to finish their dinner before getting desert just encourages kids to eat more then they may want just to get the desired desert. Better to let them eat until they feel satisfied and maybe even put the desert on the plate along with their dinner. So they don't see the desert as something more important.

    Amber, if you “core” the root end of the onion or chop the root end off, before starting to cut it for your recipe…it won’t sting your eyes. All of the stingy gasses are in the root. OR you can put it. In a bowl of ice water for several minutes…it stops the gasses from making you cry.

    • @TheHappyCaravan
      @TheHappyCaravan  Рік тому

      Yes we usually have leftovers of some of the soups and so forth so Marc brings them to work. If the kids are hungry at night or between meals they like to make bread with butter and jam or cereal (sometimes oatmeal)❤️

    I used to watch "The Naked Chef" all the time. I love the way Jaimie Oliver cooks. In your description box you stated that you use less meat now that prices are so high. I am not much of a meat eater, so I would love the Vegetable Soups and Stews, things like that. It amazes me all the different meals you make and that your kids eat them. But, you probably started them early on eating these types of meals, which is very good. Your daughter did an amazing job making the donuts.

      I’m really chill about it now because it’s been my experience that if you keep putting something on a kid’s plate (even if they don’t eat it) eventually they learn to like it. And along the way I’m ok if they just eat the parts they like.

    Wow. They all look so yummy. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you could give any tips on how you get kids to eat the said meal. I gets to be impossible to cook alternative options for each child when there are many. I have 5 and really struggle with this. I do believe (unless it's a flavour a child actually hates!) That they should be able to eat what is on offer that day but Im finding it hard to implement that without them feeling they're being disregarded x
