    Thanks for showing how to make the Chinese in the air fryer!! We love those too and now that I'm part of the air fryer club, I'll have to try using that instead of a pan and oil!!!

      Yeah I get what you're saying, I recently volunteered in Africa, and some of the children had the same problem.

  • @ajh1249
    @ajh1249 5 років тому +60

    Why do your kids eat something different? Are they picky eaters?
    When I was small my parents never made separate food. We just ate all the same thing, and i was talking to my friend and she said she never really ate the same foods as her parents.
    So im just curious as to why that is?

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому +25

      Everyone does things differently and everyone's family has different rules. My son has Autism and is very picky and my husband and I eat later because of his work schedule.

    • @ajh1249

      Blessed Jess ok okay. That’s interesting!

      AJ H my parents made me eat(still does) what they eat you eat what you get in my family ig I just don’t get potty if I don’t like it then I still better eat it be in a big family like mine it’s gonna be gone fast😂😂

    • @kristenfox3178
      @kristenfox3178 5 років тому +4

      My parents were that way. You ate what everyone was eating or you didn’t eat. I’m same way with mine.

    • @kristenfox3178
      @kristenfox3178 5 років тому +2

      VeganMommyof2 it’s hard to make something that everyone is going to like And want in a big family. Sometimes I eat things I don’t care for. And it be way to much to make everyone something they’re going to like.

      Blessed Jess I just found your channel like an hour ago. I fix my girls different meals if they do not like what I'm fixing. It's stressful for us mom's to make 3 meals sometimes. However it's our choice, our children. I refuse to let my kids go to bed hungry. Please ignore any rude people. I'm really enjoying your channel thank you for great content!

    Your daughter and I have similar tastes in regards to veggies, i almost always add cucumber or bell peppers as a 'side dish' to my meal, theyre delicious!

  • @Jamielyn1220
    @Jamielyn1220 6 років тому +15

    try roasting the corn in the oven! After you peel it, wrap in tin foil with some butter, salt, & pepper. Bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees & it turns out so yummy!

    • @BlessedJess

    I don’t know why it matters if the kids eat something different 🙄 sometimes my daughter eats the same thing my husband & I do but some nights I make her something different because it’s either too spicy or she won’t eat it at all & I don’t want her to go to bed hungry. If I have to get up & make her Mac & cheese (something she will eat with no problem) then so be it. She’s only going to be my baby for so long. She doesn’t FORCE me to make her other food, I choose to do it because if she doesn’t eat what I made first in the first 30 minutes, I know she won’t be eating it.

  • @megannicole6493
    @megannicole6493 6 років тому +2

    I haven’t watched this yet but I just wanted to come say hi! I know I haven’t commented in a while! These videos make we so excited to start cooking again...we’ve been living in a tiny little hotel room for the last week. So over it lol.
    I also think it’s funny how as you’re waking up to start your day, I’m going to bed! 🤣 it’s almost midnight here in Guam.
    Hope you have a good week, Jess! ❤️❤️❤️

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  6 років тому

  • @xmichelle1998
    @xmichelle1998 5 років тому +8

    I cook for me and my partner and he is a picky eater as well. I sneak a lot of veggies in the pasta sauces. I cut the veggies real small and blend it if I can. Put in the sauce and no one wil notice!

    We love Trader Joe's mandarin orange chicken. I wonder how Aldi's chinese would compare?
    Hope Nate feels better soon.

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  6 років тому +1

      I like Trader Joes too, but I'm partial to Aldi's because it's white meat and to me it tastes better! :)

    Editing skills on point!!! Love the intro. Brilliant way to cook corn! I've never nuked it before, going to have to try that. How did David do with the spicy BBQ? 😂😂 Congrats on the new car BTW! Such an awesome blessing! God is good!!
    I wasn't a fan of the Cat and Jack sandwich cutters... they don't seem to cut as well as I'd hoped.
    Loving the cooking segments! Thanks for including those!
    Good job! 😊😊

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  6 років тому +1

    I am so glad someone LOVES the Red Baron Brick Oven pizzas as much as my family does!! I honestly will choose those over ordering pizza they are that good.

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  6 років тому +2

      I completely agree! I always want to keep one in the freezer. $3 and saves us from going out to eat on crazy nights! :)

    • @ceeceeme3019

    I love that your videos are so real. Affordable, do'able dinners. Realistically i will cook these meals. Especially when it comes to your kids dinners. I cook my daughter different meals as well because shes so picky. So i admire you for showing thats what you do as well. I get alot of shame for doing it for my daughter but i rather her eat then not. ❤

      @stephaniemckneely9544 5 років тому +1

      PastelleReborns I know, but it's more of the options of what she will eat. I do not push quantity on her, it's just I wish she would eat other forms of protein is all.

      There's nothing wrong with different meals at eating times, esp when ur kids have certain disorders. It's so much more worth it making them something they like & have them eat happily & in peace. It's not a waste of time at all when u think for the amount of distress ur saving urself & ur little ones

    why do you give them milk every single dinner?

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому +6

      Just what works for them and their pediatrician recommends. Lucy drinks water some night and milk some nights. Nate likes milk with most meals.

  • @amylincoln7363
    @amylincoln7363 5 років тому +1

    I'm not hating, just curious. Why do your kiddos get different meals from you and your hubby??
    And also, does it get tiring making 2-3 different dinners every night?
    But love the dinners you made, I'm going to try them out!

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому +3

      I have a son with Autism and he has lots of sensory issues with food. He has come a long long way but he still only eats certain things. Textures and even smells of new food will cause him to throw up/gag. It works for us to feed them separately, but I always work with Nate to try new things. Just on a very patient level. It doesn't get tiring for me at all, it actually is a lot easier for me to do it like we do. Thanks! :)

  • @jacquelinediaz1685

    No hate...just curious... Im a 46 year old woman...I never had a separate meal different from my parents..never had chicken nuggets...no french fries...it's just so interesting how times have changed...but I never had kids of my own... anyway... cheers to you and yours!!

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому +1

      Thanks so much! It's mostly because my child has special needs and sensory issues. But, I also think it's more common today to feed kids separate meals.

    Do you wash the meat or is it just my family just a question

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому +7

      The USDA actually recommends not washing off meat as it leads to splashing bacteria all over the sink, your hands, and the kitchen. It's a huge myth that you are supposed to rinse meat.

      I don't. They may have breakfast for dinner once a week.

  • @ThriftyDani
    @ThriftyDani 5 років тому

    My son eats earlier then me and my partner. Also eats different to us he’s 3 also autistic. Sometimes eats our left overs next night..think it’s great that NOWADAYS parents actually feed their kids what they’ll eat within reason so they don’t go hungry..also some familie have more developed palette and want a rack of ribs lol we’ve had nights our non verbal 3 yr Old is really out of sorts that a sandwich ends up being dinner cos refuses anything else
    Jess does great and I love these videos! Keep them coming and u guys notice at lunch Lucy eats veggies
    And some kids prefer fruit over veg

    • @BlessedJess
      @BlessedJess  5 років тому

      I totally agree! Some people get all upset if I’m cooking more than one thing, but if that’s what works for us and what I want to do, what’s the problem?

    • @ThriftyDani
      @ThriftyDani 5 років тому +1

      Exactly! I love the fact when u do your opening of lunch boxes u don’t make a big deal over if they don’t eat everything. I always try and make carters meals fun/interesting since has issues with using spoons
      But I’m sure you know what it’s like when one time they try something and loves it next time complete refusal!
      We had it with corn on cob with him recently. But will try again lol he forgets he likes it and once he’s helped it’s like that’s right I like this lol

    I’m in no way hating but you should give your children more veggies! They are young and they need a lot of veggies for energy!
    Edit: I am not saying she’s being a bad mom or anything I was just stating my opinion! xx

      You must not watch a whole lot. Haha. My daughter’s diet consists of mostly ALL veggies. My son has Autism and veggies are a problem for him. We are working with him, but my children are very healthy and happy. This is the exact reason I don’t show their dinners anymore.
