This channel is more than just cooking... it's also a way to teach anyone how to care for a family while doing everything else.
Thanks Denny, I think that's what i'm learning overtime.
Well if you can survive with basically 4 houres of work per day (not including cooking). I envy his life style but damn, is this inefficient.
Hope it doesn’t get one of these product place anything channels
@@ProHomeCooks 33333 was 😀😀😀 to ry
@@The8blackwidow8 I guess you haven’t cared for children?
This guy just did more in one day than i did in half my life
for real, both inspiring and depressing to watch
I mostly very relieved that that isn't my life 😂😂. But he enjoys it.
Jesus, that hustle
So it's not just me...
Maybe with editing you would be more efficient
I remember when this channel was you and your brother being stoner chefs in NYC, teaching me how to get through college. And just look at where you folks are now; I love to see it
yeah, tiny crowded kitchen...now 2 houses... gotto become a youtuber.. getting views, make $$$ ...oh... have no talent, don't like cooking, no hobbies, hate travelling... mmm I'll just watch...
@@rayjack this mindset does you no favors. you are how you perceive yourself, nothing more or less
When was that? Was that in a different timeline?
That’s how I found him and stayed because it was entertaining and informative at the same time. Lol
@@ilzitek2419 It was almost 10 years ago at this point, kiddo.
Dude. This video is exactly what I needed right now as a solopreneur, home cook/brewer, aspiring homesteader, and new dad to a 2-month old. You’re an inspiration my guy.
glad to hear that Larry. I actually just ordered a few brew packs and I'm pumped to get back into to home brewing beer after a few year baby hiatus...
You seem like a really involved husband and father which is very cool and sets a good example to your daughters and the rest of the world watching the video!
When your kids watch this video in the future, i feel like they’ll get a whole new level of appreciation for all that you do for them. Cheers and thanks for the sneak peek into your daily routine!
In case anyone hasn't said it yet - THANK YOU - thank you for filming your day, thank you for taking us along the ride, thank you for being real and honest about your day. I think when you say things like "the noodle soup was a 5/10" - makes me feel totally normal....cause I try to get my inspiration from you, but there are days when dinner doesnt come out as good as I hoped, and I think "Pro Home Cooks would have done better" - but I realize that you are human too! Thank you for being you! (p.s. I made your Teriyaki sauce for the 2nd time and I doubled the batch and it came out FANTASTIC!!!! a 10/10 in my books!!!!! thank you!!!!)
Well said ❤❤❤❤
Great post, a big thanks is well deserved.
Also, the 5/10 noodle soup is pobably still something tasty, given how good the food on this channel tends to be.
Your honesty and transparency are refreshing and inspiring.
@@criticalmoment3859 I mean it is always going to be non natural if you film it. The difference is whether you're just making stuff up or showing things approximately as they are
YO THIS GUY DIDNT EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING!
Just made some vague, nothing statement and hoped it would fit 😂🤣
Some bathing and grooming would be appreciated
I love how attentive you are to your family. It's wonderful to see someone enthusiastically nurture plants, projects, and parenting simultaneously. Thank you for sharing.
So cool to see the day in the life dude. I gotta do one of these eps!
Yes, I'd like to see one of these on Epic Gardeing/Homestead as well :)
As a father with his own 3-year-old, Mike is DadGoals. And those kiddos are criminally adorable!
You get more done in one day than most people get done in two weeks. This channel is awesome! Thanks for letting us into the studio workings and btw, you guys are great parents.
Hey Mike, just a heads up from a sustainability person in case you didn't know this: most rainwater around the world has relatively recently been discovered to contain harmful PFO & PFOA chemicals (also known as forever chemicals) that unfortunately also build up in soil and plants growing in that soil. I don't know what kind of a filtration system you have hooked up to your rainwater tank, but if you're really planning to use that for gardening purposes I'd highly recommend running it through an activated charcoal filter before watering food crops. You don't want to give your family inadvertent chemical build-up that could come back to cause health issues later down the line.
I know food is your jam, but I'm here fir the homesteading. If you have the rain cistern install pics I'd love to see it. It's my first happy place before food. 💕
An awful lot of similarities except for my kids are all water fowl, sixteen dogs, parakeets and daily gardening. My human kids are long grown up and gone. Good for you for putting so much into your kids natural and fresh made foods.
hahah love it. That's a lot of dogs!
@@ProHomeCooks we had a rescue. These kids are all keepers.
Those aren't kids
@@b.o.4469 whatever
This was my first glimpse into your private life, love seeing the studio, chickens and homestead. Maybe you’ve covered it before in a video but I/m just wondering why you don’t live full time in that homestead?
same! the whole time i thought he had just moved after always seeing the new setup but i was so shocked when he said that was the studio like that’s entire house 🤣 i didn’t realize how much work he actually did i definitely need to learn time management from him
Came to ask the same question
I was wondering the same
one thing i've learned over the years is that I prefer to keep a level of separations between my personal life and the content I put on the internet. Especially because my videos are very "lifestyle" inspired the line can get blurred rather quickly. So having a natural boundary is a big help.
@@ProHomeCooksthat makes so much sense! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! It made my night watching all of it.
Your wife is honestly so lucky! You’re extremely involved although your job could get very demanding and be stressful as a cc.
@@criticalmoment3859 yea, I'm wondering where his wife is...lol
@@belight123 With the kids, and possibly working her own job? I would not be surprised if she just doesn't like being filmed much.
There doesn't seem to be much alone time together. But that seems to be the choice they're making. In a way it's slightly dystopian to me.
@@nextinstitute7824 yea, not the ideal lifestyle if you ask me, just a fantasy that's hard to juggle
@@belight123 I think it is the American way, but not sure if it makes people necessarily happier (everyone should chose the life they want, of course; he probably doesn't want my life 🤣🤣, but I find it painful to watch). Great to see that he tries to spend as much time with his kids as possible though.
I know how much work it takes to just record these “simple” things and the time between steps. Thanks for sharing this with us! You need a full time assistant!!
Absolutely love your videos! I have been using so many of your tips in the kitchen which have been an absolute game changer. It is really helpful to see the other side of your day to day, love how transparent you are. Thanks for sharing!
It seems like you have A LOT going on in your family/home! I love it! Also, it's great you're able to keep up with UA-cam while having all of those daily chores!
I have been watching for quite a while. There has been so much professional and personal growth! You are so authentic when sharing. Thank you! One of my all time favorite UA-cam channels. 🎉
I’m a 18 yr old college student and your videos have helped me alot as a person who has never cooked before…. the way you cook and make mistakes makes me feel more comfortable to make them myself and have hope that the food i make can still be good even with several mistakes
Wow, I am worn out by just watching, lol. I am just going to chill for a moment, lol. I always enjoy your videos with all the great content. Thanks for sharing your interests and an example of your daily life. It definitely takes organization to reach goals and make it all work. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your life is seriously what a aspire to have. You are living the dream, man. Good for you! We can all see the crazy amount of work it took you to get here, and it's just fantastic what you've been able to achieve. Love the channel. Thanks for the inspo.
This is great! I love your down to earth style, and seeing the behind the scenes of your great videos is awesome. I'm incorporating so many of your techniques to break away from ritually following recipes. I've always loved cooking, but that has really made it so much more fun and interesting! Thank you for what you do!
Big respect for you and it is great you show how hard it really is to make it to where you are and keep it going.
Thank you for sharing you life and routine. I have a toddler and feel you on organizing time. I applaud you on cooking for you family. I know it's what you do for UA-cam, but it takes dedication.
“Absolute chaos” pretty much sums up life with kids. It’s always reassuring/encouraging to see other parents describe their life using similar adjectives and its not just you. Kudos to you dude, its not easy but you are doing great.
Thanks for sharing this, as a Dad trying to do it all this really makes me feel seen and validated. Keep up the great work man, you're f**king rocking it even if it doesn't feel awesome some days
You are so organized! It's amazing! I also admire how you work with nature with your compost, rainwater catchment, fermentations, etc. We have to be conscious about the environment more.
Respect 🙌
Love your content! Really interesting to see behind the scenes… great second house/studio/garden … I’m sure that’s all expensive but it’s SO COOL and much better to separate work and the family home. I think the expense will be worthwhile in the long run and you have endless possibilities there with the chickens and garden! You could teach kids cooking classes there and include the garden in that. YT is probably more profitable but it’s an idea for someday! I sent this to my friend who’s middle schooler son wants to be a chef! You’ve built a great life for yourself and how wonderful you and your wife can be so present for your beautiful children. ❤️ all the best!
I love your positivity, thanks for sharing your content, experience and energy… love the prioritisation of fresh food, well-being and family life
I really enjoy this type of videos because I can finally get to know YOU more. Quite confused about your studio as I thought i was just a studio, but damn, it's a whole house!
And this is why we love you, what a wonderful video. You are a huge inspiration, thank you.
These are the kind of videos that make me sooo happy!! We get to see your setup and learn more about how you store your work and the flow. Thank you for sharing!!
I really love this down to earth, behind the scenes vid. Beautiful family!
Such an awesome video!
Thank you for taking us along on your day. You are so productive and have structured your days beautifully.
If I don’t find a husband like you I don’t want it 🥲 you’re so productive and helpful!
Love your videos and this one was probably one of my favorites. I appreciate your transparency and love how similar our lives are. Its not easy but totally worth it.
I love how intentional you are with the small moments of time. It's very encouraging.
I loved this video! I always thought your studio was attached to your home...both look beautiful and such cute little girls!! I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you.
Thank you for your openness. Great to see some part of your life. Really enjoyed it!
Loves this style of video/vlog! So fun to see everything that goes on in the background- you balance a lot! Thanks for such great videos!
Been watching you for years, heck, my 6yo scoby and sourdough starter should probably both be named Mike. Really enjoyed watching this video, stoked to hear you touch on the gardening and homesteading stuff more. Excited to maybe see more of that type of content in the coming seasons. Appreciate all the work you've put into this, you're an inspiration for sure!
I remember days like that, enjoy all of them. When they leave home they take a piece of you with them. Nice setup loads of storage and room to create, I thought you had a studio in NY with that train indicator board over the door? Saw you building it 3 years back.
Thanks for documenting a typical day in the life. I does make me appreciate your videos more knowing that on top of your fantastic content, you also have alot on your plate, raising kids is not easy, but you try to find a way. After watching all that, i'm surprised you have any free time in the day. Keep up the good work, I appreciate you!
Really enjoyed this peek behind the scenes. Hope you'll do these every so often!
Must be so rewarding to see the fruits of your labor in the garden and backyard. One day...one day.. Very inspiring to see where you've come to.
The way you nurture your family with food is awesome! God bless!
You built a really amazing channel! Wishing you tons of success and health!
Thanks so much for sharing this man!
I appreciate the time and energy you put into filming "day in the life" videos!
You've come a long way, well done! - I remember watching you & your brother's channel when you guys were just starting
New to this channel in the last few weeks. Really love the content.
Nice to see the whole family. Great family Mike. Thanks for all your good deeds. You are magic on the camera.
Every parent knows time management is crucial. You said a mouthful on this part. Loved this video from start to finish. It really was a look into life as more than just a food youtube. As a parent, a business owner, a human,
Thank you for sharing your day. Amazing videos & editing. Mostly I appreciate your honesty. Your life is real - like all of us. Thank you
So nice to see a day in the life!! Loved it! Your family is just lovely ❤
Thanks for sharing this, Mike! It was an awesome video. Greetings from a big fan from The Netherlands.
Love the story. You'll have to tell us what youtube garden/homesteading channels you like.
Thank you for showing us some of the inner workings of your channel and the rest of the things you fit into your day. To be honest with you, it was a bit exhausting just watching it - but then I am long past the years when I could manage living with small children, because they need so much attention, don't they?! I love your endless curiosity about food, the smoking of the bacon and the other projects. I'm so glad you took that time to wander round the garden and the workout you gave yourself in that spare 30 minutes. I'm sure it helps you to manage what must potentially be quite a high stress lifestyle. Very interesting, Mike. I really enjoyed watching this video. I can imagine it must have been shattering to make the video of the day in the life on a non-video day, but you manage to make it look easy, which is the mark of the real expert.
This is great!!! BTS videos are always a fun watch here on YT and in IG Stories. Also, you're correct...you'll look back on this one and appreciate this chaotic stage of life. I have 2 sons (28 and 20), and as cliche as it sounds, those crazy, sleepless, and my-body-is-completely-worn-out days were some of the best!
You are an inspiration sir! Taking us inside the engine of how good things get done
Thank you for taking the time to share this part of your life and thank you for all your helpful videos! 👍👍
Been loving the inspiration from the channel. Made me start making everything from scratch. One thing if you do another instant pot episode, if it has a susvide setting, putting it at 195-205 is about the best setting I've found for making stocks without worrying about it going to a full boil, especially if you're on electric stoves where they'll cycle
Your channel was rcommended to me when there was still stumbleupon.😅
I found you there. Its in the mid 2010s I think because I was doing my solo thesis in college and you were my stress reliever when i do my breaks in between revisions if my paper and designs for my thesis paper.
There and you didnt have a kid. Wow its been so long.
I got busy with life after college so I wasnt able to follow you guys regularly after 2016😊
And then I came about this video now that Im winding down for bed later after organizing important stuff for next week😅
Im so glad your still doing these cooking videos. I actually try to make them once I get my money after 2 weeks from different projects
Watched again today - just because. Bingo! Love your method of Weekly sticky notes - to apply to my own To Do Daily Sticky Note - that has worked for a couple of years just lacked your Weekly take. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Totally awesome life! Thanks for sharing your precious moments!
Amazing video routine, I work in the kitchen for 8 years and now I start to build my home like studio and it’s difficult to me for the same reason, kid and wife but now l gonna structure my routine!
Ohh by the way my fermentation game it’s getting better!
Thanks so much bro.
Absolutely obsessed with this! Yayyy prohomecooks vlogs!!
I absolutely love your channel! And this was really awesome to watch! Thank you 🌟
Ive been intrigued with homesteading for awhile. This just solidified my inspiration. Thank you!
The fact that you don't have a person who does emails and other "admin" things for you (as far as I can tell) is wild to me. Getting the information already digested by someone else in like a 10 minute meeting would save so much of your time.
But that's just the businessman in me screaming out loud. You do you :)
Loved the video and seeing more of your real life. Keep up the great work!
You do so well. I appreciate your videos and your effort. Keep up the good work 😊
I love this! You make me aspire to be more productive with my time!
Amazing, Mike! Love this channel. Thanks so much.
Your studio is the ultimate man-cave. The aspiration part of me looks at this and says "LIFE GOALS!!" Then reality hits and I remember that I am 67 years old and live in a house on a shady lot. I will say, though, that I'm doing a lot more experimenting with making food from whatever I have in the house (and buying only what produce I can eat in a few days) thanks to your videos, and also thanks to your videos, I just gave away my toaster oven thanks to me Cosori Lite, which I bought because you said to -- and my life is forever changed. So thank you!
I love your channel. I found you during COVID lockdown, and I learned to relax and substitute ingredients when needed. Thank you.
everything about this video is so motivating and inspirational, thank you!!!
You love it and you want to do more of it forever. Thank you! No haven't watched yet just positive vibes.
I remember when my kids were young and I still had this type of energy 🙂. Great video and insight into your workday.
Love this video. It's so nice to see behind the scenes and how dedicated you are to Pro Home Cooks and your family. Love the studio! I want one now! LOL The garden is spectacular. My only questions is who plays the piano? lol Looking forward to more content in 2024.
I would love to see more homesteading videos !!!!
Love your garden! Especially great to have one this time of year.
Would you do some videos explaining how your garden works?
Wow! I’m exhausted just watching. 😅 Love all your videos. Thanks for sharing your day!
We love your content but this episode was beyond awesome. Truthful and honest. Our kids are finally grown but so appreciate what you guys go thru. Daily Just wanted to say a huge thanks.
Wonderful video! I appreciate you letting us see into your life for the day ❤
Thanks for sharing your day with us! Fun to watch as always!
I've been watching for about 7 years when you and you're brother were making videos together. It's been a joy watching you both grow ❤
i really enjoyed this documentation of time management. it's fun to see and gives me ideas for my own daily life, thanks!
love that you let us see this side of your life! thanks :)
Just lovely! Real life - I love that you show everything - that baby sneeze - this is life and I enjoy watching y'all - Angie in Dothan Alabama
Man!! I wish other content creators followed this example and demonstrated how they juggle life and their creative work. I understand some can’t because of privacy and whatnot, but I’m so grateful that you’re making the time to do this. 🙏 Have a great day, PHC.
This was such an amazing vlog. Inspirational for multitasking
Haha amazing! I also just use sticky notes to plan my work days even though I work in corporate. then for personal tasks I just use my phone notes.. don’t need anything fancy, but blocking things out in the easiest way possible is super helpful!
This is super interesting. Thank you for the insight and recipes
So interesting seeing how your day unfolds. For some reason, I thought your studio was in the basement of your home. But it must be much easier for you to have a separate location.
love your channel thankyou for such quality content
