💛About us:
Hi! We are Trey and Rosa, we have 5 kiddos and we moved from the big city of Las Vegas to the outskirts to homestead and grow our own food with the goal of self-sufficiency. We converted to eating plant based due to health reasons and we've seen the benefits it has done to our family!
We have a small homestead/desert garden and we are passionate about growing our own food, eating a clean & healthy plant-based diet, cooking food from scratch, and making simple skincare products for our family and for you.
I grew up on traditional lasagna with all the cheese and meat in it. It's one of the things I have really missed eating plant based. But, seeing this- well I am just gonna have to give this a try. Grace you have a beautiful smile and you are already becoming a really good cook!!
Hello! Yes! The classic lasagna is very good and I agree it’s something I’ve missed. But! Making this lasagna, you really will not miss meat and cheese it’s really good! Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
Grace said thank you!
Nice menu Chef Grace!!
Hi Jonica! Yes an impressive menu for the day haha, everything was tasty 😋
Grace is such a joy to watch cook. You go Grace!
She loves cooking especially baking ☺️
Great idea to listen to your children! Great job mom!
Yes it is! They always feel special when we make this type of video 😃
@@thehaipath you are a very special mother and I love watching you truly engage with your children calmly
Thank you Jane!! We appreciate the love and support
I love this ❤😊 You are an amazing mother to your children. Stay blessed.
Thank you so much we appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic job Grace!! Everything looked delicious!! 😊
Hello Patty!! Thank you Grace had a fun time feeling like a princess 🥰
Thanks for sharing your day!
Oh my gosh 🥺🥺 you’re amazing!!! We appreciate you so so much more than you know 🥰 thank you thank you!
I love these! Just starting…you go girl! ❤ Grace!
Hiya Lulu’s mom! Thank you, she had lots of fun!
Good choices Grace. Everything looked great. Will differently try that cabbage with the lentils and noodles. Wouldn’t it be nice if all kids could make such healthy choices for food.
Yes her menu was great! 👍🏽 she was determined to incorporate more veggies today haha. It’s always interesting what the kids choose as their meals and can’t wait to see the next kid choose!
Excellent choices, Grace! Hope you have a beautiful birthday month ! 🎉 🥳 🎂
Hello Kathy! Thank you so much! Her birthday is the same time as Passover! 👍🏽
Great job Grace!! Delicious & beautiful!!
Hi Susan thank you! She was very creative with her menu today 😃
Hi rosa i just read the story of you and trey meeting, and how your family began on your website, what an absolutely beautiful story ❤ awesome menu that your daughter chose for her cooking day, who wouldnt love eating cake for breakfast 🎉
Hello Toni! Thank you! It is an unbelievable (literally) story if I say so myself but it is a true blessing! Look at us now 😄
She did choose a very fun menu today thank you for always tuning in and hanging out with us!
@@thehaipath you were destined for each other ❤️ your family is fantastic
Love lasagna. Would love to try your recipe
Lasagna is always good! 😊 try this yourself! Are you plant based?
Maybe try lemon oil (food grade like doterra) in your lemon cake. It has concentrated flavor.
Ah yes I’ve heard of their food grade essential oils very Interesting I’m sure it would be a great addition!
Nice meals Grace!! Delicious and Practical!! Forgot about the spinach in the noodle dish, but it seems it didn't need it since it turned out to be the favorite meal of the day!!!😊
Haha yes we sure did forget about the spinach 😅 right! That was interesting I thought she would’ve liked the lasagna the most
Hi Grace!
Hello - From Grace!
So awesome! Grace just shines. I'm sure her body appreciates the lack of growth hormones that most people are eating. More natural development. :)
I was thinking the same about lasagna! That it is quite a process but so rewarding. Yours looks so good! 😂
Hello friend!! Haha I’m sure yes all our kids appreciate the natural growth and wholesome nature of our home.
Lasagna is sooo good it’s actually worth it now that we’ve made it more 😆 do you make lasagna often?
@@thehaipath I never make it! But this video has inspired me to do so... my oldest is seven, and I'm just realizing that none of my kids has ever had lasagna. 🤯 I need to remedy this asap!!
Wow! Yes! Have them help you and let them experience the layered goodness now!!
Love how you involved all the kids in the kitchen. You are teaching me how to cook vegan can be easy. I want to help my husband to get away from meat. TY! How do you keep your kitchen stocked up? Did you have a weight problem prior to going vegan?
Thank you for hanging out with us and for your support it means so much to us. I used to be like your husband, I was a huge meat eater and I went plant based cold turkey. I would suggest making him dishes that have the same tastes as meat dishes for example, if he loves a good meat sauce for pasta, make it with some meaty mushrooms/lentils, etc. it’s usually the flavors and textures are what people are familiar with and “can’t live without”. But in fact, if you make it with veggies, it’s the same thing 😉
Our kitchen is stocked every week with fresh fruits and veggies, we buy grain like spelt, quinoa, chickpeas in bulk on Amazon and that’s lasts us about a month per order.
Do you shop more than once a week for groceries?
Also yes I did have a weight issue when I went plant based! But also I am a huge lover of carbs 😭 which does not help whether vegan or not haha!
I’ve found being plant based has definitely helped with my weight because I’m consuming more fiber! Are you struggling with weight issues too?
@@thehaipath thanks for the tips. Yes, I do have a weight issues but I just think it’s menopausal. I’m 60 years young, 5’2 about 140-145 depends on what I eat. I love carbs! I think it’s an Asian thing, you know. I’m trying to stay away from dairy but it’s hard I love cheese and ice cream. I have been grinding my own wheat to make sourdough bread Which I love. I do shop more than once a week. I think I live at Aldi, I know everyone works there. 😂 I do intermittent fasting my window 19-5. I think it’s helping me to keep my weight at bay. I noticed you used spelt flour, why spelt? I stopped eating meat because of ethical reason. TY and God bless you and family.
@flyswapple I am also short 5’ 1” I am averaging 136-138 lb at the moment perhaps we can both relate being asian and short and love to eat and eat carbs 😝
Where are you from originally?
I have a video I was thinking of doing, basically my grocery routine every week! Maybe this will help? 🤔 I’ve gone through figuring out what we need roughly for each week and have fine tuned our grocery trip where we go once a week.
We chose spelt because it’s an ancient grain, it has not been modified it’s one of the original grains and the molecular makeup of it is smaller and easier to digest on the body. You should give it a try!
@flyswapple also try making cashew/coconut milk ice cream! Hemp milk and nut milk is quite good too and easy to make! Cheese is a bit harder but some “cheesy” foods can be made vegan like lasagna cheese or Alfredo sauce
Who runs the world? Grace, at least for today!
Haha! Love this yes! She was the princess for the day!
Putin!
Loving your videos. Do you avoid Soy? Just realising you never cook with tofu?
Hello Karen! Thank you for hanging out with us! We don’t avoid it we just don’t eat it much, we don’t like to give our boys a lot of tofu but I do use it in some dishes in fact I just made some curry today with it 😊
We prefer to use other sources of protein such as beans, hemp, mushrooms so they are not lacking.
I’m new to your channel but have watched a few videos already! My family is split, I’m the only one that eats fully plant based. I’m working on getting my two boys to eat more plant based meals but I have to hide the veggies most of the time. Did you have to start that way with any of your kids? Just curious.
Hiya Brii! Thank you so much for tuning in and joining our chaotic humble family 😃
When we started we went cold turkey and just did it. We said “this is what we’re eating from now on” and tried to make foods that were family friendly.
If you haven’t yet, watch some of our pasta videos! Those recipes can easily be used to hide veggies for the kids, how old are your two boys? I’ve found the earlier you start them the better!
@@thehaipath thank you for the reply! They are 12 & 6. My 12 year old will eat pretty much anything, he tries a lot of my meals. My little one I can not get to eat vegetables! I have tried pastas but I know he’s not going to want pasta every day.
Does your 6 year old like to eat sandwiches, soups, curry? What’s his favorites? You can easily turn some normally made with meat items into veggie-fied by chopping them small to “hide” the veg
Wow, that kitchen of yours gets quite a workout! Love how everyone works together :)
I know you are a very busy mom, but I do have a question for you... I have noticed several times how you talk about garlic as a blood thinner. From one mom who is interested in healthy cooking to another, if you would elaborate on why this is something you want to avoid as a family, I would love to hear your opinion.
What about food combinations? We love garlic with greens and love it with tomatoes. Greens and tomatoes lean toward blood coagulants, correct? Therefore, would you say these two are great combinations to eat?
Again, it appears you and your husband have done a lot of research to feed your family well. Any commentary on this would be super helpful! Take care and Happy Spring!! ❤
Hello there friend! I am a lover of garlic 🧄 I have mentioned this on other videos but I myself have a blood condition and I need all the blood I can get! I will use it occasionally but not nearly as much as I used to.
It’s the vitamin K that’s a coagulant in greens but you’d have to eat a TON, extremely high amounts to have that effect. Opposed to garlic, you only need a little bit to have the blood thinning effects.
Using your logic, the same thing can be applied with vitamin D and K. If you’re getting sufficient amounts of vitamin D through sun/supplementations, vitamin K is being utilized to carry calcium into the bones.
However, if you have certain dietary restrictions or have known blood clotting issues definitely consult with a doctor or practitioner regarding this.
Happy Spring, hope this helps!
@@thehaipath Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time out of your very busy life to answer :)
You’re so welcome and thank you for asking! It’s good you’re deep diving and asking these questions
