Welcome to Family Freedom!
We are Katie, Bob, JoJo, Jamie and Sam a family sharing our life with you!
We are a vegan family, and our two favourite things are travelling and shopping! We love sharing our fun travel adventures and our fun shopping challenges! We are passionate about helping people with budgeting, shopping on a budget, money saving and general finance. Whether you are here for a travel vlog, shopping vlog or just one of our everyday family vlogs we appreciate you being here!!
American here...just had to share with you that I was at the supermarket in Manchester and yelled out "Beans!" when I saw the Heinz selection. Your reach as influencers has reached across the pond!
😂😂😂 we feel very happy to have such a fun influence! Thanks for sharing 😂🇺🇸
Oh it doesn't have to be heinz 😉any BEANS !!! can be announced lol , even across the pond 😉🤣x
Hey, Bob. If you are using a soft spread for pastry, it helps if you freeze the spread first and grate it into the flour. Keeping everything as cold as possible, including your hands, always helps in making good pastry I find. Resting the dough helps the gluten to form and makes it less likely to crack when you roll it.
You can chill the water with a few cubes of ice. When you are adding it, only do a few tablespoons at a time. The goal is to use as little water as possible to make the dough come together. Lastly, let the pastry get really chilled. The science behind it is that when the cold butter/oleo/spread begins to melt it creates air pockets that will give your dough lift and cause it to be tender/flaky. Awesome job for a first go!
Thanks so much for the helpful tips guys! 😃
Hello family. LOVED THIS VIDEO. So fun! A couple things to keep rising… sausages are such a wonderful idea. Try adding a tiny bit of sage and fennel seed. Love you JoJo. You are so creative. Boba, pastry is made by crumble in flour so that when it hits heat, they explode and make it flaky. Try using All Veg Crisco and ALWAYS have all things super cold otherwise it won’t make layers. It will just all mix together like a cookie dough. Roll in half putting water or milk to “glue” the edge then use fork. The part you missed was to put knife slats on top for vents so when bubbling has somewhere to let heat out. I am so proud of you all. That was great!! I love how creative you all are. You make my day each video! God bless you all. Keep it up ❤
Thank you so much for all of the helpful tips!!! 😃
@@FamilyFreedom Hi again. Please, please show us how to make your curry Katie. I love learning from your gifts of cooking too.
Oh Jo Jo, my heart sunk when I saw you put the potatoes in the blender. Allay drain your potatoes a put them back in the pot and add your milk and mash by hand or use a hand mixer. This is how we all get better in the kitchen, learning from our mistakes. I love seeing you cook. 😊
Thanks for the tips Marlene! 😊
Your husband’s dinner looked so amazing !! 🎉🎉🎉 great job everyone
Thank you!! 🤩
Jo Jo is becoming a great cook
He really is! That idea for the mushroom sausages was inspired. It’s wonderful that his parents are teaching him cooking as part of his homeschooling curriculum, as it’s such a valuable life skill.
Jo Jo is cool .. he is gonna be the most healthy student ever
I seal my pastry with water. Just a slight bit. Then come in with the sealing of the fork. This could help you with it. ❤️
Just completed a stressful week at work and in 30 minutes you guys have put a smile on my face. Love your videos. Food looked awesome, could have eaten all 3!
We're glad to hear that this video helped you smile at the end of the week 😃
You guys are so creative! I get so many ideas when you do these kinds of challenges! And you always surprise me!
In America, flapjacks are another name for pancakes--often in the southern part of the country. And I have a friend who is a pastry chef. Her program focus was mostly on elaborate cakes with fancy decorations.
Thank you for always entertaining me and keeping it real❤
Hi Bob , you can make pastry wrapped in cling and freeze . Also use water round the edges of pastry to seal it together xx
Thanks for the tip Karen! 😊
Well done jo jo 👏.. tip for bob if you make pastys again to stop them bursting put a small hole or a cross in the top of the pasty it will allow the steam to escape and stop them bursting 😊.
you all did awesome making the meals using the ingredients very well.
I ❤ flap jacks and that bangers & mash looks like the clear winner. Katie's response says it all!
Its amazing what meals you can create from just the basics of everyday foods.
You don't need the top name brands to work with as you have proved..well done 😊
Thanks Angela! 😊
Flapjacks in the US are a pancake. I love watching your videos. I love seeing the meals you come up with
Energy bars over here 🙂
Flapjacks over here means some one who is very skinny
Where I am
Good to know you like these videos Pamela! 😊
For the pastry.... You could've use water to seal the edges, before fork pressing it, and poke hole in the top of the pastry to prevent the the leakage of the filling
Thank you! We'll remember that for next time 👌😊
I’m really impressed that you made your own pastry! Well done!
Thanks! 😃
As always you giys made me smile, another great video and all the meals were so yummy, well done ❤
We're glad that we make you smile Andrea! 😊
Hey Bob. For the most amazing pastry, 6tbsp cold water, 6tbsp of butter or alternative (make sure it doesn’t have a high water content) 1 1/2 cups of plain flour, 2tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt.
Thanks so much Vicky! 😊
great ideas. can’t wait to try these dishes
hi, I think you can twist the ends of the dough to prevent the fillings from going out
Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! Great video! I have never seen anyone make mash potato in a blender before!😂 I was so surprised.
Also in poundland I saw a reusable shopping bag but no any old one it was a beansss one! I thought you guys would love that!
Take care
Just keep rising 🌻🌿💚
JoJo wins!
Top Tip for lovely smooth mash that doesn't turn to a paste (like it does in a blender) use an electric whisk instead.
Also, for a sausage skin, use rice paper, wetted and rolled around the sausage.
AND, if you are using cheap bread for breadcrumbs, you get a lovely texture if you toast the slices befor putting them in the processor.
@tonycasey3183 I use an electric whisk when I mash my potatoes. I found the processor made them too smooth. I like the idea of wrapping the sausages in wet rice paper. If ever I make sausages I'll try it
I really like these cooking videos. I often make what I call fridge-dregs meals with whatever is left at the end of the week and your videos are quite the inspiration. JoJo's addition of mint sauce is going in to my next mushroom bangers - I use similar seasonings, but with onion and sage added, but I am definitely switching the sage with mint sauce next time.
Pastry chef is the dessert chef - love the cooking vlog as well- looks so nice
Oh thank you! 🤩
Wow Jo Jo! What a beautiful presentation of food! ❤
Thank you Kerri 😋
Wonderful video as always you all rise to the challenge with delicious inspirations. Congrats Jojo 🏆 you have an eye for fine dining plating. It looked so beautiful and those sausages were the chef's kiss, well done 😋🤗
Thanks so much Karen! 😊
@@FamilyFreedom
Anytime, you all are so fun and uplifting 🤗
JoJo’s lunch looked amazing as well as Katie’s oatmeal bars. I’ll be trying your recipes!❤
Hiya , bob , katie & jojo , brilliant video , all the food looked amazing❤❤❤
Please make a full video of Katie long hair ponytail and single braiding by Jojo. And also her current hair length regrowth measurement update since her haircut by him
Hello Freedom Family. I love to watch the videos of you shopping and cooking.
the cooking is so good... hungry now
Put a bit of butter in the potato mash instead of water. To runny, put it in a frying pan to thicken it.
😊Me and my youngest really enjoy watching your family vids together and these challenges are so fun. An idea that maybe you could try combining Jo Jo's sausage recipe with Bob's pastry and make a sausage pasty. Anyway great vid as always and truly appreciate a genuine experience of real family living🌌🙏💝💫🕊🌸
Hey, thanks for your comment! It's lovely to hear that you both enjoy our videos 😊
That's a great idea about combining JoJo's sausage recipe and the pastry, we'll have to try that another time!! 😃
Great idea for a video, Bob was definitely a winner in my eyes, his yorkies! Great effort from the whole team though
Thanks Joanne!
I have to say bob and katie you have brought jojo up to be a very polite and well mannered young man and what's better is he can cook I have a partner who is 40 and has never cooked a meal for me in the 16 years we have been together
Hey, Toni, thanks for your kind comment about JoJo. We think it is important to teach him life skills like cooking, and so far he's doing great!
Another amazing food challenge thanks for sharing your all winnings in my book 📚🧑🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👩🏽🍳
Yay! Thank you! 🙏
@@FamilyFreedom you are very welcome 🤗👍🏽
Hey Bob if u poke or put 2 slits in the top of the pasty to let steam out it should not burst in oven
Thanks for the tip Susan! 😊
Jo Jo, the green beans maybe mush and put inside the sausages that sounds nice
You all did a fantastic job
Thanks Dawn! 😃
A vitamin is one of my dream small appliances. I got my kitchen aid so now that's the next one I'm wishing for
We hope you manage to get one, they are awesome 😀
I love these videos i made a new account but been a fan since 2018 when you went to Alton towers and when Jojo use to be only 7 and When Katie has Unicorn hair this channel inspires me so much been a fan for so long I use to watch when I was young I grown up but still enjoys the vlogs especially at Halloween and Christmas I can’t wait to watch
Aw thanks so much for your lovely comment, and for being with us on this journey for so long! 😊
We're glad that you still enjoy the videos and we hope that they can keep inspiring you! 💚
Really enjoy your videos. I also think you should be proud of the independent gentleman you are raising; and he can cook. Well done Family Freedom.
Thank you so much 🙏
Such a fun video!! I got worried at the start of the ad with bob sitting next to the toilet saying there's one thing we always do after a meal 😅
😂😂😂😂
Jojo wins, he seriously has talent 👏👏🧑🍳
My name is julie im from Ballymena in Northern Ireland
I suffer from ibs and anxiety and depression
Your vlogs really cheer me up
They are amazing
Love your family xx
Really like your cooking vlogs.Thought those granola peach bars looked delicious, really liked the look of the lunch. The dinner looked tasty. Jo Jo was a winner because
the sausages were a great idea. I was always told when making pastry always do half fat to flour xx
That little potato whoops may have made good potato pancakes. Great job as usual to all!
Hi hope you’re having a great day , I love these types of videos!❤
Thank you! You too Olivia 😊
With your pasties Bob pierce a little hole in the top to let the steam escape to stop them bursting ❤ xxx
Love these cooking videos, each meal looked so yummy and you all did so well with the ideas you came out with with the ingredients you had. Props to Bob for his own pastry making and jojos sausages💚 #freegang #livebutnotlive
Thanks so much! 😊
Another awesome video and Asda is a store I haven't been to for a while. Always good to see JoJo and good meals using only Essential products. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕all the family, live not live from Sunny ☀️ Scotland and it was kind of Katie to give away the Vitamix Blender to a friend.
very nice of Katie I think her friend loves it and Katie is so creative she can make nice food in what ever she has...
Omg ur channel makes me so happy
Please tell us where you got the labels from?
Gotta love the family freedom there aways the best
That was great guys well done to jojo, but you are all winner 🏆
Bob you need to use water along the edge of the pastry to seal well done all of you a pastry chef is someone who makes cakes,pastry items ,desserts
Off I pop to make Jojo sausages, they look amazing and as you know you've converted me but mint sauce.. omgosh. I've never thought of it until Jojo! You little (not so little Man) are a hero! ❤💚❤️
Thanks so much Becks! 😃
@@FamilyFreedom you're so welcome, I wish I could post pics xx
All the foods looked great ,love a roast ,mushroom sausages Jo Jo own cooking show for young people be great 😊
Think Bob got this one x❤🇮🇪
Can't taste it myself but the fact that Bob made his own pastry, I've got to give it too him this time! 👏 Well done official pastry chef Bob 😂
Thank you 😋
Hiya my friends I hope that you are doing well thanks for sharing another awesome video I did an Asda essential shop😊
Thanks for watching Julie! 🙏
Great video guys. Katie, idk why but their flapjacks are pancakes.
A pastry chef is a person that bakes desserts and bake good.
I would have to say katie did the best,only because i love peanut butter
I can not buy it I eat the hole jar...
The food looks really good. You can buy those portable handles for your saucepan. I can see Jojo become vegan chef some day
Good idea about the portable handle!
Love this video as I was wondering what food u made from your shopping ps use milk to Seal your pastry Cornish, pastas or water.And then press them together❤🎉❤
Thanks Tracy! 😊
For savoury pastry you need half Lard half butter. There are many, many types of pastries. My Father was a pastry chef. Although I never was taught by him, I think it’s in the genes! 😀👍👍👍
Wow, JoJo did a great job!
These cooking vids are my fav.. ❤
Glad you like them Anita! 😊
Bob wins ! Skills and effort !
But everyone made delicious food
Thanks Lauren!
Flap jacks r round they r probably what u call pancakes round and flat those u made look good and they look like granola bars
I'm like Jo Jo love beans so healthy and yummy ❤❤
Pastry, use milk or water to seal the edges before you use the fork 😊
Thank you for the tip 🤗
@@FamilyFreedom you're welcome
Just ordered the flosser thank you
You're welcome Georgina! We hope that you enjoy it, we love ours! 😃
I've accidentally made mash too runny before and just put it back on heat it thickens it back up
So how long and what temp for the yorkshire pudding
We put them on a high temperature (as high as the oven goes) for 16 minutes 😀
We call flap jacks pancakes here in the southwest in USA
Thank you 🤩
send me some of that food.... ALL looked so good... love Joyce from The Netherlands
Hi Joyce, we hope you're doing well 💚
Jo Jo win ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely family ❤
Thank you Sarah 😊
Hope You Had A Good Day ☀🌝🌞☀🌞
GOODNIGHT GOODNIGHT 😴😴😴😴
We hope you had a great day too 😊
Can I ask what temp the Yorkies go in the oven please?
We do them on the highest oven heat 🔥
A Pastry Chef Is Bob 🤣🤣 that’s a perfect definition
Thank you very much 😂🤣
Katie Wins 💙
I was really worried when I saw Bob next to the toilet and he started off one thing we always do after meals 😂
😂😂😂😂
Omg i cant decide 😮
Jojo with the mash you could have added couple more potatoes to thicken it but next time don't add water till after the potatoes have been blitzed and add only a table spoon water at a time as needed
Hello all .. fun vid soz I'm going with Bob his meal looked yummy... 💙🩷💙
Thank you 🤩
Ah yes, the yorkshire pudding recipe. They do look good. They rose really high, not like my little fritters. I'm impressed.
That recipe has always worked for us so we thoroughly recommend it! 😃
Pastry- pleasa weigh rather than cups. It is just half fat to flour and as little water as possible. Freeze the soread it wont harden enough inthe fridge. Now you have sussed out pastry you can make all sorts of things (maybe look up the rubbing in method)😊
Add onion to your stuffing it makes it taste better
Thank you for the tip 🤩
JoJo is big winner 🏅 in this competition 🎉
Hi family freedom I love these type of video could you do more of them
Hey, yes we definitely plan to do more of these 😊
