    OMGoodness, Xander doing the little chef infomercial was fabulous. He was so clear and so confident and even if there were multiple takes, he did a wonderful job in the end. I love to cook and do cook outside the box so one of these services is not in my immediate future but I can see how handy they would be for people learning to expand their palettes, just learning to cook or even for people on their own. When you were making the stuffed shells, I knew immediately you were going to have trouble because you hadn't cooked them first but as you said "lesson learned" and it wasn't the end of the world. We all learn from our mistakes.

    Zander did an awesome job on his acting debut!!😘🏆Many adults would be unable to recite so many lines, much less connect with the character the way that he did. Your recipes looked amazing. They actually do make no cook pasta. I've used the"no cook" lasagna noodles. They turned out just as good as the boil and use noodles. May you and your family have a great and blessed week ahead. 💞🙏

I am not a meal planner I usually get up in the morning and then figure out what I am gonna make that day. My husband is such a picky eater it is so frustrating. REMEMBER no one is perfect, we all make mistakes and then we learn from them right? Enjoy the process of cooking . Happy Belated birthday Xander hope you had a wonderful day. Hugs from Ephrata ❤🤗

    Yummy yummy stuff! I liked your Green Chef representative. Talk about customer service! 😂
    My mom was inventive with her cooking. For the most part she was a great cook. She did her best...however, every once in a while she would put things together that were questionable. Her biggest mistake was on Thanksgiving Day when she made cornbread stuffing. When she put the bowl on the table we wondered what it was. My brother put a big glob on his plate and proceeded to start eating it. Another brother asked my mom how she made it. She told him that she mixed the cornbread mixture with all the other stuff and proceeded to stuff the turkey. My brother (the one that asked) started laughing and told my mom, "You need to cook the cornbread first before you make stuffing." (He was a cook.) What made it even better was the first brother ate all the cornbread stuffing on his plate even though it was not even all the way cooked. (To bolster my mom😊)
    Don't worry about the mistakes, it helps to keep us grounded.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I love your personality n your wit. Xander did a great job at being chief. I’m sure there were many retakes but he still did a good job n he looked so cute in his chief hat n apron. Lexie is adorable n growing up so fast. She’ll be walking soon. Now as for cooking. I don’t cook much anymore seeing it’s just me n my dog ( she has her special dog food). I remember doing the week menus years ago. I could remember trying different recipes n my family would complain as they didn’t like something different. So back to the grind making same thing. They had their favorites, like meatloaf or spaghetti. Sometimes we had breakfast for dinner n they liked that. I really enjoyed this video. It’s always refreshing n always the truth. God bless you all. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟

    We use Hello Fresh here in NZ which is similar to Green Chef. Also, clicked on this video not realising how much it would encourage me.. Cooking is hard for me as we have a small kitchen and my husband isn't around so I juggle our 3 year old while trying to cook dinner.. Using those meal Subscriptions does help so much and actually saves me money because we buy less snacks and junk from being full from each meal.
    I am a wee bit of a nerd also, not with techy stuff but a range of other things 🤓
    Blessings to you and your family. Xander being cute and funny as always lol
