[@Julies-in-a-mood]

“Variety is the spice of life.” NOPE! I think in these busy days what we all really crave is consistency. Making entertaining & hospitality overly complicated & expensive just adds stress to what should be an enjoyable time. If someone is kind enough to ask me over for a meal, I don’t really care what’s on the table. It’s what’s in our hearts that’s important. Thanks as always, ladies!

[@lauriehuber3040]

Well said. ❤️

You can enjoy variety better from a solid base that doesn't stress you out, like the tacos in Dawn's group lunch. I agree, you don't have to re-invent the wheel every single time.

I just loved seeing the two of you together encouraging us through the little struggles and joys in life. And Dawn, I, too, marvel how you keep expanding on the concept of minimizing, even modeling how it impacts socializing. We can socialize easily when we really embrace simplifying.

Years ago I made an easy chocolate cake when we had a guest visit. She fawned over it. The next time she visited my daughter changed it to a lemon cake and that went down well too. I set myself a challenge to play with the recipe every time we got together. It was amazing how much fun we had just simply switching a couple of ingredients.

It is so interesting what you said at the beginning of the video about how the families you are getting together with have seemingly nothing in common with you (on paper), yet you have continued to enjoy getting together. I am a 60 year old Jewish Buddhist with grown children, living in Vermont. I love your channel. It’s not just the minimalist content, but how you have so much integrity. You don’t take yourself too seriously and you are so non-judgmental. “You do you”. I love watching you alone and you with your family, including Diana. You are real and so refreshing.

[@DianaKokku]

Beautiful thought... thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@cindland]

This is the problem with people trying to “cook” today. Many are signing up for those meal prep subscriptions because they think there are “secrets” to cooking real food. Your explanation is fantastic. So many people are looking for “recipes” and are frozen like deer in headlights without one. If you have a good range of herbs and seasonings in your kitchen (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne, marjoram, thyme, cinnamon) you can make almost anything. You don’t need the packets even although it’s easy for an occasional quick meal. Then have canned tomatoes, salsa, mustard, oil and vinegar, and you can do so many things. You can use dairy or non dairy ingredients to make “creamy” style meals. Good quality canned broth will make soups out of the same ingredients. Crockpot or instant pot is your friend. Seasoning is the “spice of life”. Marinate your meats ahead and they add so much flavor. Ground beef, chicken or turkey are super easy. Add a veggie and rice and you have almost an instant meal. Doesn’t take a lot of equipment, tools, or technical skills. You can make a skillet meal the same way, add some simple veggies for added flavor and bulk.

My husband and I are simple people, we live a simplified life and my son is HAPPY. I didn't have balloons, or a fancy cake, or an extravagant dinner, or some big to do. Apparently that was disappointing to some... and that put me in tears. Maybe they will learn to appreciate it one day, maybe not.

Be sure to always thaw the chicken before putting it into a crock pot. It *is* safe to put frozen meat directly into an oven or skillet, but crock pots heat so slowly, the meat remains in the bacteria danger zone for too long. So if using a slow cooker, make sure the meat is thawed first to avoid food poisoning. ♡

Honestly this is a life hack worth trying. We love having friends over for dinner, but don’t have the energy to make a big fuss every time. We’ll serve really good yet simple (and often budget friendly) food, light a few candles and maybe open a bottle of wine if it’s weekend. Put on some nice music and let the guests come early to help chop the salad while we casually finish the cooking. Putting our guests to work always makes the mood relaxed and gets the conversations going, and serving delicious but simple food makes them comfortable. I want them to feel like they’re part of the family, like they can be themselves and just enjoy a good time together with us.

May God bless both of you abundantly. As a prayed for prodigal, let your friend know I found my way home because of the prayers of his saints.

So deeply meaningful for me today. It brings me back to warm memories of big get togethers with family and friends with favorite dishes brought time and again to the potluck which themselves were a central part of the festivities. If a UA-cam video could be a hug, that is what I receive Sunday after Sunday. Thanks for lifting my day today so encouragingly!

Simplify everything! Never thought of it. I don’t think out of the box enough! You’ve taught me so much!💖🦩
