    Hello and thank you so much for watching! I’ve really been enjoying these winter videos and I have some fun things planned coming up including more cooking and a q and a! I’ll be asking for your questions soon on a separate post as well as on Instagram so be on the look out 💜

      Chana I was wondering if you have ever made zahtar Tahini bread? I seen this video and I wanted to share it with you. It’s gluten free so I’m excited to share this with you lol I’m going to make it soon. I think I’m going to love it! I hope you try it as well and maybe you will do a video on it when or if you do😁 Here is the link.

      I've been having fun watching these videos! So much fun visiting with family!! Especially when you don't live close (or, even in the same country!) and don't get to see each other very often.
      Your scarf story reminds me of a blanket I tried to crochet many years ago. I did actually finish it ... eventually ... but it took four or five years lol. My Grandma taught me how to crochet (simple, basic stitches) and showed me how to make an afghan. I had a twin-size bed at the time. I started it but it was slow going. Then Grandma passed away and every time I tried to work on it I would just break down crying again. So, I put it away until a few years later after I had gotten married. Decided to make it again for our full-size bed. Then, a lot happened and I had to put it down again for awhile. I was cleaning out my closet one day and found it. I really didn't want to make it full-size. I was actually growing a little tired of working on it. But, I realized when I opened it up that it was about the size of a baby blanket and I was about eight months pregnant! So, I finished it off, made four little granny squares, stitched them together for a hat, attached ribbons to tie it and ... voila! ... I finally finished it 😁😁😁!!!

    Hi Chana. I was amazed you got so upset about the amount of yeast. Instead of flat pizza, you could have made deep dish pizza. Or some times called Sicilian. You could have put vegetables on the pizza.. 😋 😋 😋. I'm elderly, and when my children were young, I used to make every Wednesday experimental dinner night. I made something different I never cooked before. If no one liked it. Then we had pizza as a back up. LOL. My children became less picky eaters. And tasted most at least once. My eldest looked at it as doing chemistry. Finding combinations of foods that taste good together. 👍 P.S. They all sevived. LOL.

    Hi Hannah! With the mixing of the tsp in tbsp when it comes to baking ( or just cooking in general), don't feel too bad I think everybody has at least mixed up the tsp in tbsp at least once in their lifetime (if not more) 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I think I did that accidentally myself. I love to knit I've never tried the rib knit though it looks too complicated even though I know it's dead simple you're basically knitting and purling at the same time. Good on you for taking the time out to your husband the scarf hopefully get it done for his birthday.

    We do something similar in our house but use malawach. But I love those trays. I have a 7 year old who's super picky and seems to keep removing items that he will eat from his menu choices. Have you posted a video about different ideas for meals that you make your kids? Do you have similar problems in your house? Would love to see a video about what you things you make! Sometimes all he eats for supper is a hard boiled egg and cucumbers and crackers! 😔

    I enjoy playing “Where’s Bella” while watching your videos and loved seeing a glimpse of her in the outtakes today!
    Oh I also wanted to tell you.. I tried roasted broccoli for our Christmas dinner and used some black pepper and lemon zest with just a small amount of salt. It was so delicious!
    I hope you have a great week.

    Hi Chana! Great video as always. Did you make the beautiful quilt you have for picnics? We also have the homeschool problems. My kids were with their homeschool group and some one asked them to line up. It was quite funny, the homeschool kids were respectful, but totally not in a line. More like an amoeba. I told my husband if that is the big thing homeschoolers can’t do then I am okay with that.

    I have to go check my mail. I had a good day today. My dad took me to the laundromat, and then to a little diner with the best cheeseburgers ever!! (Are cheeseburgers Kosher or not?) We went for a walk around the park, it was literally 52 degrees today!! It rained a little but stopped. We were leaving Whole Foods, and saw my cousin walking to Whole Foods probably? We went to a cheaper grocery store though to do my actual shopping: Kroger. They were completely out of regular salad; I was going to get some. I didn't see anybody restocking them though. So, I got a salad kit. I got other produce, and bananas, and bread. Kroger bread was only $1 something. I couldn't find Kroger English muffins, but Thomas was on sale. I got sweet potatoes for dinner a long with asparagus, and one TV dinner.
