Today, I'll be answering a few of these questions with my mom! We are both French and have lived in different French cities for most of our lives. My mom will talk about how she manages work, cooking, and healthy eating, and share her tips for feeding kids healthy meals! Hope this video gives you some insight on the French way of life!

There is an elegance I always find in French women of all ages that I often miss in the Anglo Saxon world. I think it’s the natural calm common-sense approach / an easy, uncomplicated approach to life that is so appealing that also translates to the approach with food
My mum is the same / although of German extraction and not French
I’d like to see what your mom eats in a week. I’d like to see the portion sizes.
Her dinners look like mine, you can see them in my what I eat videos!
Please please please do a video with your mother about the French approach to beauty... especially skincare and how these things change as you age.
Omg both of you are so beautiful!! I see where you and your sister got your looks from💖💖 I just started this video but if she doesn’t mention it in this one I’m gonna need your moms skincare routine pretty please 🙏🙏🙏
Yes!! Both of your skincare videos
@@Ingrid0410 yesss I completely stand by that!! We need Lucie’s skincare routine too 😩😩😩
I agree! Your faces are flawless!! Pls share!!
Agreed 🙌 you are both queens!
I would love this too. I suspect her best beauty tip though, is eating healthily.
I’d love for your mom to take us shopping with her. Your mom is so pretty! I’d love to see more videos with her everyone in a while. ☺️
Your mom looks so young and beautiful!!
Aww thank you!
i appreciate this so much!!! We also need your mom's beauty secrets!!!
So glad you did, I'll pass along the message haha!
Your mom is a sweetheart 💕. She’s beautiful and gave good advice.
Aww thank you!!💙
Hahaha this is the sweetest!!! More what I eat in a day pls. Or have your mom and you take us grocery shopping!!! Or a cook with me!!!! 🥰🥰
Thank youu and love the video ideas, thanks❤!
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy
Absolutely!
She's beautiful. I'm a 40-something widowed mom, with 5 children. Same in America...it's all decisions. You can cook healthy or unhealthy when cooking dinner. Kids will eat what is available & usual for them. Meal prep plays a huge part, especially with teens. If you make individual salads, which are ready in the fridge to easily grab, with a selection of prepared lean protein for them to choose to put with their salad, that is what they will grab on their own for lunch because it's easier, cheaper and more convenient than fast food options. Then as they grow up, that is the diet which they are used to and feel is normal.
I loved the video! I took a lot of notes from French culture and was able to raise my American kiddo to eat just about anything. There are very few foods she doesn’t like and she will try anything. Thanks for putting information like this out there so that parents don’t have to raise their kids on chicken nuggets and pizza. ❤️ PS, y’all are both gorgeous.
Thank you so much and it's awesome that your daughter eats everything!
You and your mother are both so sweet! It’s so funny how different our mindsets are on food, your/French way is honestly really inspirational and makes creating a meal seem more fun/exciting rather than a chore.
Thank you!! Yes it's so interesting to learn different cultures and mindsets around food!
your mum is stunning!! supermodel. also so elegant and classy. please do a video how she does her skin care and looks after herself!
Oh ta mère est trop belle, et ta sœur c'est carrément ta jumelle ! Merci pour le partage, c'est gentil à elles de te soutenir comme ça.
Could you please share more of your Mom’s simple lunches for when’s she’s eating alone at home. Thank you :)
I'll pass along the idea to her! 😊
I’m trying to eat more healthily but afraid I might be eating too much. For lunch I had a small piece of cold chicken, some tomatoes and cucumbers with oil and vinegar, small piece of bread, small bowl of berries, small piece of dark chocolate. I am sixty and could lose a little weight. I’m 5’1 130 pounds. Help!
@@lisamoulder4792 That lunch sounds like a perfectly reasonable amount of food for a meal. If anything, it sounds like a small meal.
Your mom is lovely! Great video. Eating as a family every night used to be an American tradition also. I am not sure how that all changed, but it definitely did. I think our "busy" culture is partly to blame. Americans claim to be too busy to shop, plan or cook, when really it's not difficult. I also notice so many parents seem to think fast food, junk food, etc is okay for kids, but not for adults. But parents who teach their kids to eat junk are doing them a great disservice. They will have bad habits that are hard to break.
I observed the same things years ago in France. At one time families in the US always ate together and we all ate the same things. We had the choice to either eat something or not eat it. How we have change in the US. I love your mom Lucie. This is one of my favorite channels.
Thank you so much, that's so kind!
Some American families still eat dinner together.
Your mom is gorgeous! Does she have her own channel? I could listen to her all day long.
Wow... your mom looks soooo young 🤩👍🏻
Knowing now where you have your beauty from Lucie ❤
Aww thank you😍
I love this. My grandfather was Italian, and it sounds very similar to how he shopped, ate, etc.
There are definitely similarities among European countries!!
I enjoy listening to your Mom! She makes it sound not too hard to do. And she is very charming.
From America: at the time I was brought up (late 90's early 2000), we had very vague and little nutritional education. Complicate that even more, most from mixed raced households had grandparents with a single income so, if they are blessed with two parents, they had more time to make traditional, time consuming meals.
That's why there is a demand for your videos! We need this to educate us on how to cook in general and most importantly how to cook reasonable, healthy, and simple meals.
For example, I would never had made ratatouille if not for seeing you make it in a previous video because all the recipes I've seen are much too intimidating. My family really liked it by the way so thank you for that!
Your mom is beautiful. Thanks for the video with her and her perspective. ❤
Thank you, glad you enjoyed her perspective!
Your mother is just so so cute 🤗🌹 and I do like her ideas a lot.. it is just natural, simple and motivating
Thank you and so glad you liked the ideas!
I love you two together!!! I was totally raised this way in the US. My Grandpa was Finish not sure if my Grandma was French because she literally did things the French Way. Your Mom is so Sweet and Beautiful. Lots of Love to you both.😊
That's awesome, and thank you so much!
I read the book French Kids Eat Everything and applied the French way of eating to my child as much as possible from the time he started eating. He’s 4 now and loves steak, lamb, soups, green smoothies, black coffee, anchovies, and a ton of other things. Hates pasta and chicken nuggets and Mac n cheese ironically.
I absolutely loved it, your mom is so sweet🥰
Your Mom is precious! Such a lovely video!💕
This is lovely! Thank you so much.
Loved listening to you guys and your mom is awesome 😊
Thank you, Your videos are very helpful. Your mom is absolutely adorable!
Hey! Don't hate on Costco! They have lots of good organic products now :)) Great for stocking up on organic frozen fruit and veg. Thanks for another awesome video!! Beautiful family!!
I love Costco! We were just pointing out the differences, nothing like that in France!😊
Picard is one of my fave places to visit when I'm in France. We need one here in NY!
Picard is soo awesome haha
My last name is Picard.
Wow your mom is so stunning 💕💕😍
Thank you💙!
So humble❤
Thank you so much to your lovely mother for all this wisdom! My mother really hated cooking so I’m trying to learn a better mindset around meal prep!
Love it!
Loved it! Please do another video sometime!☺️
Wonderful video ladies. We in the US used to have family meals together where everyone ate the same thing. It wasn't until the 2000's that parents started feeding their kids fast-food (different from the parents). I know so many kids that refuse chicken if it's not in nugget form and refuse normal meals if not a burger, pizza or chicken nuggets. This is crazy to me. I am from the generation raised to clean our plates and not be wasteful. The US produces unhealthy food and unhealthy habits (the portions, the additives, etc) so we grow up thinking this is normal. Meanwhile we get sick, are overweight, have medical issues that relate to food, but doctors keep prescribing more medications. It's very frustrating.
It is the mindset and culture. Way to go. No interruptions to mom liked to hear what she has to say and be glad to give time for her to express her thoughts and ideas
Awww! Love it! Bonjour to your Maman!
Merci!!
Subscribed!! Your mom is so wise and eloquent! Thanks for all the advice!
Thank you so much!!
Aw your mom seems so sweet! Such a thoughtful lady.
Thank you!!
Your mom is stunning. I'm in the U.S, and it is pretty hard as a mom making sure meals are balanced, simple, healthy, etc. My daughter is 3 and I'm trying to raise her with a good balance of foods and an overall healthy idea of food. When I was younger, my parents really didn't spend a lot of time on that subject and meals were pretty quickly made or convenience foods since both my parents were Military and busy. Y'all seem to have a good relationship with food 😊
How wonderful, thank you for sharing - - and you both speak such perfect English. . . I'm very impressed. How lovely to grow up that way - - sharing and caring.
lovely video with your mom, both of you had wonderful points and I think they are very true upon reflecting in my own life..thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching!
I loved this video. Can you share some of your favorite dinners your mom made growing up? Also, it’d be so cool if you vlogged a Sunday dinner with your family. I’d love to see the prep, food, and how it all plays out. 😊
I am half French so I really enjoy watching you both!!!
You 2 are so delightful! Love your channel.
Aww thank you so much!
Thank you!! It helps big time.
So glad it helped!
Great video, so much good advice and you are both beautiful! Would love it if you could share some 30- 15 minute prepration dinner recipes, as a mum time is so valuable.
Wow your mom is stunning!
Great video once again! You make healthy eating sound so natural/normal, it really motivates me to live the same way 💕 also you both are gorgeous 😍
Thank you so much, glad this can help!💜
Thank you! So helpful.
Thanks you! I show some of them during my "what I eat" dinners! 😊
@@Edukalebylucie OH, that's right! Lovely. I believe I can safely say "we" want more... you two are so delightful.
Hi Lucie, I've accidentally discovered your channel and have been binge watching all of your videos 💕 Just wanted to say hi and thank you for such an amazing content! You and your mom are absolutely beautiful inside and out. This video has especially warmed my heart 🥰
Thank you so much Tatiana, that means a lot💜
I absolutely love your channel. My brother and sister-in-law are both dieticians (they specialises in diabetes) and the information and advice you share on healthy eating seems the most similar to anything they might share with me. I love the fact that you promote healthy eating in such an unfussy way - it really doesn't have to be complicated! Thanks so much for this - can I say how incredibly beautiful you and your Mum are? You can tell she is so proud of you too!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot ☺️
Your mom needs to do an audiobook!
I am new to the channel but Love your content. Forgive me if I pry but I recognized immediately this was your Mother and was compelled to look. You are so beautiful together; so radiant. Thank You, sincerely, for sharing. And thanks to your Mother, for everything. I would be nervous myself.
I loved your mother's accent! 🤩🌹
Super vidéo. J’adore le concept. Il faut en faire d’autres! Par exemple je cuisine avec ma maman, etc…
Merci beaucoup et merci pour les idées de vidéo!
Your mother seems like a really nice person.
Wow, your mum is gorgeous..! I haven't even watched it yet, I'll do whatever she says though (in vain hope I'll look like her at her age, lol). Thanks for sharing xx
Hahaha thank you so much!
So great! ❤️ please can you share which recipe books your mum has? I would love to know 🥰
wow!!! gorgeous mom!!!
The mother is really beautiful.
LOVED this video! Thank you Lucie’s Mom :)
Would you and your Moms ever consider doing a video of healthy eating and fitness ideas taking into consideration age- looking at how things change or maybe need to be tweaked a little as we women age gracefully/beautifully?
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the video sugestion!
You are both so beautiful!! Thanks for the informative video :)
Thank you and so glad you found it informative!
I was thinking skin care too. You both are glowing❤❤
What a great video, with super advice from your sweet mother❣️I agree with what she said (I avoid pork, shellfish, and unclean animals). Yes, eating healthy , colorful food is important❣️🥰💕Merci beaucoup❣️
love this video! what recipe books does your mom use the most?
your mom is so beautiful!
Another thing to take into account and that could maybe explain why some Americans buy more in bulk than French is that kids in American do not have canteens at school but have to bring their own lunch at school! Also the price is not the same in the us and in France, I am a French living in Canada and I can say healthy products here are much more expensive than healthy products in France, esp. veggies, fruits… food which is not processed!
American here - all of our public schools offer lunch for purchase (free or subsidized for low income families). Private schools and preschools may not offer lunch and require kids to bring their own though.
The food served in schools is usually very low quality though, highly processed, everything is frozen or canned and just heated at the school. Most kids do not like the food and will only eat it if that is their only option.
I'm looking for some authentic French soup recipes for the Fall if you have any 👌
Thank you for sharing! As someone looking to the future as a wife, mother and full time receptionist, I often wonder how prepared am I? This helps a lot. Appreciation, Sio.
NIce Video. Please more Fooddiarys.
Your mom is stunning just you and your sister, beauty is definitely your the genes.
Can you or your mom do a "shopping with me" video? That would be fun to go see all the small markets and how the french choose their foods.
Really enjoyed the video. Food always been a big worry for me and very time consuming.. I wish we had UA-cam 15 years ago when my kids were young :)
So glad you enjoyed it, and yeah youtube can be a wonderful learning platform!!
wahou tu ressembles vraiment à ta mère et vous êtes si mignonnes 😊 et j’adore tes cheveux dans cette coiffure comme ça 👌🏼 je vois le chouchou dont tu nous avais parlé dans ton ancienne vidéo sur les cheveux. bisous à toi et à ta mère 🖤
Haha on nous le dit souvent, merci Justin!
@@Edukalebylucie nous t’aimons lucie 😘😘
your mom is so pretty
OK i think your mum needs her own channel!!
ur mom is so prettyyyyyyy
Both of you are so beautiful! Your Mom is so charming and sweet! Hope ahe can join you with more videos. I love the comments on more videos on skincare, a cooking video with her would be amazing if possible 🙏🏼❤️
Your daily is BEAUTIFUL. You all just have this glow about you 🤍✨🤍✨🤍✨ I’m a mom of 2 boys and was so excited I stumbled upon this video. Love!
your mom is gorgeous 😍
I'm in Los Angeles, but grew up in a European household. Very used to buying staples in larger quantities but going to get fresh produce more frequently, and definitely going to specialty shops.
It would be interesting to hear about how economy plays a role in budget and eating healthily in France.
That's an interesting video idea, thank you!
Superb!!! That’s exactly what I do as a mom, think what I feel like making for dinner, what I have, and then what I need. Would love to see more with you and your mom, your outfits, shopping habits, skincare etc. where do you all live now?? I noticed in Paris at Monoprix they have a marvelous gourmet selection of baby food👍how about showing a few days of meals? Merci from California🏖☀️☀️
نعم كلام صحيح
That's awesome! Thanks for the suggestions, and we currently live in Paris! I have a few days of meals in my "what I eat" videos!
This is excellent 😁💗
I am now just wondering what were some of your favourite meals growing up or what did you hate?
I only ask and very intrigued as we also grew up like this but I honestly did not eat anything but bread that was on the table. I starved. A lot. I just would not eat anything and I was very under weight. There were no other food choices but my mum always put bread on the table. I had to see paediatrics and they tried all sorts. This was 40 years ago! I might have an orange (just squeezed juice into my mouth 🤣) or an apple. No skin! I now have children who are similarly fussy and I feed them whatever they will eat which is mainly processed. I just don't know how to get them to try anything new, they absolutely refuse...I actually now eat anything and everything, I live on veggies and love all foods. I love the whole French approach to food, it is the right way. I just hope my kids turn out like me and eat healthily as they get older! Sorry for the really long comment! Much love x ❤
من أفضل اليوتيوبر عندي
thank you❤
You and your mum are absolutely gorgeous!
Aww thanks!
I would love to see a what I eat in a day from your mom, just a few ideas of what she doe 💖
You can see her dinners in my "what i eat videos", we eat the same! ❤
Lovely video!! Your mom is wonderful 🥰 I may have missed this but what does she eat for a typical breakfast and does she do intermittent fasting?
Yes, good question, would love to know that too!
Can you make a video on what you would eat as a family meal and what that looks like?
The dinners in my "what I eat" videos are examples!
Salut Lucie je suis italienne je suis beaucoup tes videos et j'habite à paris aussi, nous en Italie faisons les mêmes choix nos cultures sont très similaires!
Merci beaucoup!! Et oui, c'est très similaire entre européens!
Since your mom is a teacher, could you maybe do a video comparing education/schools in the US vs France. ❤
I enjoy both of your camera present. You both are warm and inviting. I would love to see you your mother cook a meal that is in your current rotation. Maybe a family favorite. I’m curious what a traditional B-Day party food staple would be. Here is the US it would usually be hamburgers, hotdogs, maybe even pizza along with the traditional size like chips, etc. Thank you for sharing and many blessings.
I love being Haitian with French ancestry. 🇫🇷🇭🇹🤍
Your mama is so beautiful and elegant. I am mesmerized by her!
Can we make a video with dad next? I love your family 🥰
Hahaha that will never happen he doesn't like the camera/being online 😂
