Thank you and your children that are prep chefs and help make all this great food. I am a vegetarian and I work a lot of hours and don't have much time to cook and you have shown me i can make great meals in a matter of an hour.
Hi there Kelvin! Thank you we appreciate your love! Oh man work nowadays are killing us! Be sure to eat well, be out in the sun as much as possible to get vitamin D it’s important! And food prep as much as possible to make sure you don’t get lazy and eat out too much!
Another great video! I love how confident the children are, and the confidence you have in them. Their knife skills are awesome! These kids love vegetables! Great parenting.
Great video Rosa!!! I would love to learn more about your cooking tips and tricks. All the food looks great.l am going to try the Mac n cheese and the scones!! 😊
Hi Rosa, Another great video! Isaiah and Mercy did great with the chopping and baking. I think I will make your baked oatmeal. Looks yummy! Have a great week! ❤️
Hi Friend! Ooh yes make that! Now the recipe makes 2 pans so just half it. You can increase your water/liquid if you like a more custardy baked oatmeal. Add some nuts or fruit if you like some crunch! I hope you enjoy and excited to hear what you think.
Thank you! Oh man we wanna try some cheese recipes like chunky solid cheese! We do make a cheese sauce for mac and cheese type dishes or a dip but never a harder plant based cheese. Have you made some before?
I like to poke my butternut squash a few times and microwave for 3-4 minutes depending on size. Let it cool. That makes it much easier to cut and/or peel however you want to cook it.
Some great ideas, thanks. So important to have the kids help out in the kitchen. Develop those skills they can carry on when they become adults. I made a veggie curry today too, I was actually eating it and watching your video!
@@thehaipath A little veggie broth and coconut milk mixed. I use a vegan Thai yellow curry paste too. I do have kids, three boys but they're now adults and on their own.
I’m so glad you’re making Mac N Cheese. I’d love to have a good-to healthy Mac recipe. I’ve never toasted seasonings, in a sauté pan, that’ll be a fun new addition to my cooking repertoire. (Super cute logo on range hood ☺️) I tried your cauliflower white sauce, it was so cool, but I think I didn’t leave-in enough water -although it was nice, it could have been creamier like yours. Love all the helping hands! I don’t measure either and it’s so fun to watch your instinctual cooking and discovery.
Hello Judith! You can always add more water when you make the cauliflower sauce! Then blend to your desired consistency. We are so glad you’re trying the stuff out yourself after watching our videos!! That’s so awesome!
Hi Rosa, I enjoy watching your videos, just came across your channel this week. I’m from a family of 10, 8 kids ♥️ and both my parents did the cooking and we mostly helped with the baked goods. I love that your kids are cooking and helping and enjoying it. Those will be cherished memories forever. If there is one tip that I can share with you since you are sharing so many; I keep several pairs of scissors in the kitchen, a couple specifically for cutting food, and others for cutting off the tops of bags, then cutting off the bottom of those plastic bags and then usually in half again. I do that to prevent an animal from perhaps accidentally suffocating from trying to lick the inside of the bag, for example. It is also much safer than using a knife which could slip very easily. A friend lost her eye when she was a child using a knife in the kitchen to open a bag. And that large knife you were using to open the bag of squash was overkill😅 Just thought I would share a tip and I hope you will appreciate it in the good spirit it was meant as as your tips. By the way, your kitchen is one of my favorite colors, it looks beautiful 🌟I bought cauliflower today and was looking for your cheese sauce recipe but didn’t see it in the description.
Hello Giselle! That’s awesome you come from a large family too, is everyone in the family plant based? Thank you for the tip on cutting bags extra so animals don’t suffocate we totally understand it’s like cutting the plastic that holds cans! When I opened the bag I used what’s on hand to open it, most times I just use what’s there ready on hand. I can write up the recipe for cauliflower cheese but basically it’s 1 heard of cauliflower, 2-3 cups cashews, 1-2 bags of butternut squash (optional) then boil it up until tender. Once it’s tender you drain most of the water but leave approximately 2 cups of water, add salt, onion powder, about 1/2 nutritional yeast and then blend. Adjust flavor to your taste buds!
@@thehaipath Hi Rosa, thank you for sharing your recipe. I don’t have butter but squash so may give it a try with sweet potato. I’m the only one in my family who is plant based, though I was brought up in a home where my father was a meat eater, my mother preferred very a diet close to a Blue Zone diet. She cooked a lot of greens and legumes for she and I, and always let me finish off the leftover veggies because I wouldn’t eat meat unless if it was meatballs or meatloaf because it was soft and chewable with no visible veins, muscle or fat! We ate a typical Mediterranean diet with veal and such being made mainly for my father. I was the only one of the kids who couldn’t chew meat. I love being plant based and cook all my meals at home. One of my recent favorites lately is making a big pot of Lentil Bolognese (very simply), and having that for lunches and dinners for a couple days, with Pasta, by itself, or even as a Pizza topping when it was pizza night.
Grocery haul & meals prep i look forward to each week. The Cashew, CAULIFLOWER & Buttersquash sauce with NUTRITIONAL yeast looks good to go with pasta/ Spaghetti dish. Beans, veggies with Cashew, CAULIFLOWER and broccoli and vegan cheese sauce pour over all that and bake/ cook on stove top. STOP BAKING WITHOUUT ME😂😅🙄😢🇯🇲
I’m sure you’re already a pro Sakina! I want to really help those who are stressed out about cooking and want to learn to cook without having to worry about measuring or following a recipe!
Thanks, but I first started watching your videos when I volunteered to cook the meals (at family functions) for my brother, who is vegan! I wanted family style meal ideas to make for him!! I really enjoyed your content and have been watching every since!! I also incorporate some of your meal ideas when cooking for my own family!! I really like how you use everyday ingredients and cook without needing to follow a recipe! Showing how you go with the flow even if it doesn't turn out how initially intended is helpful and makes you very relatable. My favorite part of watching your videos is seeing how comfortable all the kiddos are with helping in the kitchen! I love it!!
Beautiful! Have you considered publishing a cookbook? I’d certainly buy one! I’m going to make your oatmeal/applesauce bake. Two of my favorite things. You have Mercy, Grace, Isaiah. What are the other two kids names?
@jackiemartin4864 aw that’s awesome! We have a few people requesting a cookbook from us but I was thinking of making it a bit of a guide and fun in home cooking. We’d love to capture some feedback in the future when developing this! Yes those are the 3 then the older 2 boys are Immanuel and Israel
I have to get more food prep done for the week. I love any tips on easy planning and prepping. I’m not cooking for a big family but I’m sure it will be easier having it already done for the week
Yes when I first started I didn’t have my meal prep organized but I’ve done it more now and has definitely gotten better slowly. Just lots of practice! How many do you cook for?
Hi there Michelle!! I lived in Perth for a couple of years back when I was a kid. Love Australia and miss it a lot! Are you and the family plant based too?
Hello Sonja from Austria! I have a friend from Austria who’s now in Australia. We hope to one day visit your country, its beautiful 😻 Are you plant based too? I’m curious about grocery shopping and plant based foods in Europe, is it popular?
We are happy to! We’ve started a new series for home cooks called home cooking 101 which we share some basic tips to cooking! It’s up on our channel now!
This is probably a weeks worth of prep, just until the next grocery day however I still will cook throughout the week as this doesn’t cover everything we eat for the week. I know… we go through a lot of food 😂
Hiya Mary! In terms of teaching them to cook they start quite young, like Isaiah’s age or a bit older and every time I cook I have a few of them come help chop or what not, teach them that the stove is hot and soon they learn for themselves too. As far as this meal prep, it didn’t take much because they’re already quite good with handling recipes and how to mix and cut. Do you have kids too?
@@thehaipath No kids. Only fur and feather children...LOL. I am 10 year vegetarian, 5 year vegan and 75 yr/o. I like your down to earth, positive, family fun channel.
He has dysautonomia which basically causes all his auto functions to malfunction and not work right if that makes sense! But he’s doing a bit better now, we’re continuing to work with his doc
I love watching you and your family in the kitchen! I would appreciate it, if you could please refrain from using phrases like “kill two birds with one stone”. I’m a vegan and find that those phrases perpetuate the dominance over animals. Grow two flowers with one seed, is a nice replacement.
Hi Cynthia, thank you for your feedback. Yes we are just cooking for the family, we don’t think it’s necessarily to keep my hair back. Even if I did there is still a chance my eye lash or eyebrow falls into the food too. There’s germs and particles all around no matter how you have your hair and in fact those can boost immunity
I love that you’re constantly teaching your children - especially to have a great attitude about food. Gosh I wish you were my neighbors!
Aww that is so nice thank you for being so kind we appreciate that! Do you have kiddos yourself?
How wonderful that your children are growing up knowing how to cook great food. You are a great Mum! 👏

Hi there Patty! Lovely hope you love the Mac n cheese and let us know what you think!
Mmm breakfast scones, I need to try making those
You should! They’re so easy to make too and it’s so yummy. Do you bake often?
Your family never ceases to amaze 🙌🙌🙌
Aww Jocelyn thank you so much! That’s so kind of you 😄
Love how you have the kudos helping love it
Thank you so much Valerie! We love doing everything together and are able to teach the kids as they grow!
I slice and layer tomatoes on top of Mac and cheese. So good! Especially when tomatoes are in season!
Ooh very interesting, do you bake it in the oven with the tomatoes to roast a bit? Caramelized tomatoes yum!
Hi Rosa,

Some great ideas, thanks. So important to have the kids help out in the kitchen. Develop those skills they can carry on when they become adults. I made a veggie curry today too, I was actually eating it and watching your video!

And would love to see and hear all the tips and tricks you've learnt cooking over the years ❤
Noted! Will have to make the video soon
Just a suggestion for the leftover cheese sauce. You could turn it into a broccoli cheese soup or use it for your vegetable gratin.
Great idea Jacqui! That WOULD be delicious in a soup! To thicken it up a bit too! Are you plant based yourself?
@@thehaipath yes, I am.
That’s great, we love that a lot more people are plant based now. Have you always been?
@@thehaipath I started going plant based about 14 years ago.
Yes and a veggie baked potato cover with cheese sauce or machos😊

Me too Rosa is an expert cook at free styling. Pity i can't bake.😊 ❤
You can try to bake in a pan! Cover and let it cook low slow
I really love the new color in the kitchen!
