Thank you for Food Diaries again!!!🎉 My favorite videos of yours😁 So nice to catch a glimpse of the kids. Happy Birthday and Anniversary🎉 Does Rick still also work for the police department?
Belated Happy Birthday and Anniversary! Thanks for sharing your food diary. I cook one item on Sunday and pack it for lunch M-F. I make things like chili, white chicken chili, and tortilla soup in the colder months. I do lots of salads in the warmer months.
Amandita, I was hoping to see Briana, the married lady, but no!!!! You know I ama Briana fan,!!!! I am sure she is very happy and as beautiful as ever. Please give her a big hug in my name. ❤❤❤❤
She is, and I will let her know. She prefers privacy for now and I totally respect that. Although, they do allow me to share pictures occasionally on Facebook and Instagram. I just shared some pictures for her birthday. I’m @amandabealle if you want to check them out 😊
Happy belated birthday and Anniversary. My husband and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary on March 16th. The food looked amazing. What did you put in the kale and sausage soup?
Thank you, and happy anniversary! I had onion, celery, carrots, kale, brown rice, sausage, broth, a little flour, heavy cream, cheese, and some seasoning.
Love your videos just a little tip for you because i was always forgetting to take things out of the freezer so i put a note on my fridge door to remind me its worked so far as im always passing by the fridge or maybe an alarm on your phone to remind you...busy lives need all the help we can think of
Ziploc bags are actually expensive here too, isn’t it better to get yourselves two lunch boxes? Like those bento ones so you can add snacks and such when you take leftovers (and they’re reusable unlike the bags). Plus you can put your sandwiches together at lunch so they don’t get mushy.😊
@@TheBealles What are refrigerated bags? I'm sorry, I'm from Germany. Do you mean an insulated lunch bag? Won't containers work with these? I'm watching a lot of TH-camrs pack their kids lunches in containers and put in ice packs with the containers into the lunch bag.
@@salo81 I guess that’s just what I call them. They are bags with built in ice packs. They are stored in the freezer until used, then they work as a cooler. I could totally use a container. I need to look for one that holds more than one sandwich. Since we carry 4-5 sandwiches a day, 4-5 containers wouldn’t fit in the bag. It is something to consider 🧐
I've been trying really hard to avoid bioengineered foods and realized it's getting very hard to do! I've been having to plan ahead to make homemade mayo and bread in addition to all the other things I usually do. It's probably cheaper to make, so I guess it's really worth the extra effort. Bonus: I get eggs from my daughter's chickens!
As empty nesters as well, i always cook enough for at least 2 meals. Who wants to cook 5 nights in a row!! I love planning to have enough for more than one meal.
I don’t really have one of the remodel itself. I should have done it but I was a little intimidated 😂 Way out of my comfort zone on that one. There’s some great content creators that are much more skillful that I am. I’ve been following “styleitprettyhome” on Insta and she did her kitchen & other home makeover projects. They are in her story highlights on her page if you want to check her out 😉
The 22nd for me😉 21st is my anniversary and Marquise’s birthday 🎂 Rick does prefer Dukes but I prefer Hellmans. Regardless, it’s not allowed so we just keep it a secret 🤫
He saw this before I did and said he makes coffee several times a day 😂😂😂 Rick only cooks if I am completely unavailable 😂 Keep in mind that for years, he worked while I stayed home, so it made sense that I always cooked. When the kids were little and I worked late, he did cook… but that was long ago, and he’s way out of practice. We have a rhythm now andI cook and do the dishes. He does dry and wash laundry. I fold and put away laundry. He vacuums. It works for us 😉
I love your birthday outfit and how creative you are with meals! Also, Happy belated birthday and anniversary Auntie 🙃❤😊
You becoming a teacher makes SO much sense. You have a gift and other children being on the receiving end of that is such a blessing ❤
Aw ❤️ Thank you. It certainly feels right to me
You MUST do a video on that sausage kale soup! It looks delicious!
I will do that 😊
Thank you for Food Diaries again!!!🎉 My favorite videos of yours😁 So nice to catch a glimpse of the kids. Happy Birthday and Anniversary🎉 Does Rick still also work for the police department?
Nope. He missed produce, so he went back to it. It’s in his blood, I guess. His dad was a farmer 😉
Belated Happy Birthday and Anniversary! Thanks for sharing your food diary.

I want to get in the habit of that. I just haven’t done it yet.😂
So glad to see u r feeling better.
Happy birthday.
Thank you 😊
Love your food diaries! Its so interesting to see what others eat. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching😊
Thank you for sharing. I am fascinated by what people eat and what they put in to their carts. ❤
Well, you’ve come to the right place😉
I'm the same way about reusing bags when possible.
Rick really hates it 😂

I need all the tips I can get😂

We use refrigerated bags since the food sits in the car till lunch 😞 It’s a pretty frustrating situation over all.
@@TheBealles Not ideal not having a fridge at your workplace.

@@TheBealles Ah ok, thank you. I have never heard of that.
Use tomato paste instead if you makehomemade sauce and add a tbsp of sugar to it also limiting garlic can help it helped me
Thank you 😊

That is awesome! It is so hard to do!

It is so much easier that way😊
Do you have a video on your kitchen remodel? Would love to get some inspiration on a budget! 🙂

Good job!
Thank you ☺️
We share the ssme birthday..hope you had a great dsy.
Yay 😀 I hope you did, too ❤️
Watching while I make Baked Tacos.👌🏻🥰
Enjoy 😊
That’s my favorite way to eat tacos.
Are you allowed to eat other mayonnaise besides Duke's in the south? Haha! Also, we may have the same birthday. March 21st?
The 22nd for me😉 21st is my anniversary and Marquise’s birthday 🎂 Rick does prefer Dukes but I prefer Hellmans. Regardless, it’s not allowed so we just keep it a secret 🤫

Does Rick ever cook ?
He saw this before I did and said he makes coffee several times a day 😂😂😂 Rick only cooks if I am completely unavailable 😂 Keep in mind that for years, he worked while I stayed home, so it made sense that I always cooked. When the kids were little and I worked late, he did cook… but that was long ago, and he’s way out of practice. We have a rhythm now andI cook and do the dishes. He does dry and wash laundry. I fold and put away laundry. He vacuums. It works for us 😉
Rick can make wicked tuna sandwiches and steak, as I recall.
@@tenthousanddaysofgratitude 😂😂😂😂
Caffeine is a major GERD trigger. So sad to say that, however, you can get meds to help.
I know, but he refuses to give it up 😞
My husband and I love to fry left over hotdogs with potatoes.
That actually sounds yummy 😋
Walmart has the That's Smart brand.
Really?! That’s good too know
