The cake pops were my favorite part. They look delicious. You are a very busy lady, so never apologize when you must end a video. Your family comes first. I hope you had a great Shabbat.
Hi Chana - this is going to be a weird comment but...I don't normally watch all of your videos. I"ll watch one here or there. We recently had our second son so we have a 2 year old and a 7 week old. I was standing at the sink a few weeks ago, sleep deprived and my two year old was losing his mind, baby decided sleep wasn't going to happen and you popped into my head saying "and that's okay" with a smile, as you always do in your videos. And it gave me encouragement to take a deep breath and say "today nothing may get done besides caring for kiddos and that's okay." Anyway, now I have been putting your videos on in the background as I fold laundry and do dishes and it is helping me feel not so alone in these days with littles when things dont always go as planned...and thats okay! So thank you. Thank you for showing a calm mom even in the chaos. And even in this video, recognizing a bad mood is coming on and stopping it in its tracks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. It’s definitely hard to have a baby and a toddler. Hang in there! Caring for the kids is your most important job and you’re doing amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for encouraging me ☺️
@jaroffireflies Hi Chana! Love your videos. Hope you continue sharing your story and great ideas. I agree with this comment... I don't have kiddos yet but you model the kind of mother I hope to be one day and give me a clearer idea of the family I hope to have. TODA :)
Hi Chana, loved the video. Those cake pops looked so good! What a great idea for a snack. I love how Mr. Firefly brings flowers for you and your daughter. Such a kind man and what an awesome thing to do. 😊 I hope your shabbat went well and that you all have a wonderful rest of your week! Hope the family is okay in Israel. Prayers for all!
Good afternoon Channah.from Israel.. it is Mon..we are in times of miracles and Moshiach. And getting Pesaech done .. not easy but Hashem is with us every step of the way!! Love and kisses to the kinderlach
I love Brussel sprouts, they are delicious baked. The cake pops looked intriguing. I hope you had a blessed Shabbat with your Ashkenazi friends. Baby firefly seems to be growing before our eyes. 😊😊
I love how you talk about not wanting grumpy you for shabbat, keeping it real when trying to handle the so many things! I love your videos and thank you for sharing with us!
Nice video, Chana. Thank you. I’ve been scanning the comments, and to see that you have replied to so many is totally amazing, given how busy you are! Oh, to have half of your energy! Have a great week.
Bonjour! Happy to see you cooking this morning! I could almost smell the cinnamon and nutmeg. 🥰 I really loved the cake pops idea. They looked great! I wish you and the whole firefly family a great and peaceful week. À la prochaine! 💙
Chana I wish I had half of your energy, dedication, faith and all around positive personality. I tend to think the worst and be very hard on myself if I don’t get all the things done perfectly. Since I’ve been watching I tell myself “that’s ok” just like you do! I’m not of the Jewish faith but may Hashem bless and keep you and your family.
Good morning!! I missed you last week!! What a kind and thoughtful host you are!! I love to watch you cook and I get so many ideas from your recipes! Have a blessed day!! My family and I continue to pray for Israel. 🇮🇱
I loved these cake pops! I have tried and failed several times, but I’m about to buy some molds like this when I go to Dollar Tree today and try them for family supper on Wednesday!! Mondays are my “get the house life together” days, and I always put on your videos to body double. Thanks for all your real, kind, thoughtful, and relaxing content. Praying for you and your family in this time. Hope all your Israeli family is safe today! ❤
Hi Chana! Wow, that was a very productive morning! I do the same juggling every time I have company! I could almost smell that apple kugel! As always a pleasure to watch and learn.....
You are , so often, my stress relief! Thank you for your kindness in sharing your life! ( A late, I know), Shabbat Shalom!! I study Hebrew roots, believe most firmly in the Torah, and am called Messianic… I call myself a follower of the one true G-D. May HaShem bless you and keep you always! From Odessa!
Chana, if you use the syringe and put it in the hole on the back of the POD and push hard it will crack the “motherboard “ of that POD and it will stop “screaming “ like that
Hi Channah. Your cake pops looked yum! I am going to try to make them for my grandson. I know he will love them, You are an amazing cook. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, Chana! I’m Shelley. Started my Pesach cooking. Soup is done. Brisket being done tomorrow. Table will be set the next day. Need to do things slowly as I ended up in the hospital half in y driving to Pennsylvania to see my granddaughter in her gymnastics on Saturday evening. St.l recuperating frown pneumonia!
The flowers look so pretty and will grace your table beautifully. I enjoyed seeing how you make cake pops. The apple kugel looks absolutely delicious. I would call it an apple crisp with the oatmeal topping.
So glad to see you today on my video screen.I missed you last week and I understand you are one very busy mom.I missed those days.The desert's you made today especially the apple dish looked so good and the cake pops also I hope Mr fire fly's is safe in Israel..Hope to see you next.Have a great week and a peaceful Shabbat.
Chana, the food looks amazing but my favorite thing you did was arrange those roses and eucalyptus. It was peaceful and relaxing and I'm imagining the fragrance. Have a good week
Thanks for sharing. It's funny watching you making cake pops (they look yummy) and apple kugel when I've already switched my kitchen over and am cooking and baking for Pesach!
Pretty chill day, she says, after having made apple strudel, carrot muffins, cake pops, etc. Phew! Doing any one of those things makes it a busy day for me! Enjoy yourself ❤️ PS. We’re all cheering for you. When you get in the cleanup “zone” I hope you can stave off the grumps. ❤️
Thank you for sharing! Loved hearing baby Firefly in the background! All the food looks so good! Definitely going to have to try those carrot muffins. The roses and eucalyptus looks so beautiful and I am sure smells wonderful! ❤❤
Hey Chana! another great video... I'm always amazed at how whatever your hands touch just come out beautiful! Those cake pops absolutely look delicious! Happy and easy pesach prep!
@@jaroffireflies Glad to hear it! I think the tradition of Shabbat is wonderful. The idea of a household turning off their phones/tvs etc and just spending time together sounds like bliss to me ,although with my husband that’s never going to happen!! It was lovely to hear and briefly see Baby Firefly too, so sweet!! hope you all have a good week. 💜
This is an Apple crumble in the UK but we would use cooking apples as eating apples don’t pulp in the same way . I would use Bramley apples which are green and will be very sharp even when ripe
Thankfully my sickness is starting to subside, so I'll hopefully be cooking for this weekend!!! Pesach is almost here, so I'll be making a few special dishes. Thanks for the recipes!
Hi Chana, you were super productive & on top of things that Friday morning, I'm sure an early start helps. The cake pops looked great & turned out so well, I bet they went down a treat 😋Wise decision to call it a close, no one wants a grumpy momma going into shabbat, especially mom herself 😉 Clare 🥰
Those cake pops came out great! I think the molds make the pops extra cute. A little trick my aunt taught me is to use a food grade tiny paint brush to push the chocolate up the sides of the molds. It helps especially if you start experimenting with different shaped molds. I made some chocolate frog cake bites for a Harry Potter party not too long ago.
Ooh, I wanted to try your Brussels sprouts so badly! I love them! Yeah, I don't like it when I have so many plates juggling in the air and my grumpy factor goes up exponentially. The stuff scattered around is what makes a house a home. 💚Sending hugs and love your way.
Good morning from central Illinois where it is a lovely spring day. I have tried your apple kugel and it was delicious (and my favorite). So glad that your library work is progressing well, too! Have a marvelous Monday 😊
Good afternon to everyone! 🍭🧁🍰 Wow, these cake icecreams look beautiful and yummy! 😋 Work done, I'm enjoying my coffe time (with some cookies 🤭)while I'm enjoying your video and company! Thank you! ☺️💕
Family comes first!!! I never cook so a half day prep to me is a grand slam homerun!! I am so proud that I remembered enough of my junior high French that I understood what you said!! I really should try to learn it again. I don't think your code for Babbel will work for me in Canada but I will check it out just the same. It sounds like an easy way to learn it. I'm told roasted Brussel Sprouts taste good. My internal 3 year old is still telling me they are yucky and don't try them. Not wanting to waste food I don't feel like buying a bag of them to find out!! LOL Ya that's it. I don't want to potentially waste food so the 3 year old wins. I love the cake pop molds!! Are they from Amazon?
When we had to switch the PDM they mailed us a worksheet to fill out before changing over but it would have been rough if I couldn't have copied them down. So many settings.
Definitely a lot of settings. Our pdf died without notice, so we didn't have updated info. Luckily the endo did, so I made corrections after our last visit.
My heart is with you and your family in Israel! On a lighter note, I'm glad I'm not the only person who doesn't use green apples. And I can't believe how much you got done before the kids woke up -- wow!
I am going to have to make Brussel sprouts that way! I love them roasted and order them when available when we go out to eat. I didn’t realize it was that simple to do. The cake pops are so cute. I need to get molds to make them for my grands.They love them and they are not cheap to buy when we are out and about. Have a blessed week and Shabbat
Oh it’s so good to see you on here. I missed you last week!! And I should probably assume with Passover coming up we may not see you next week either. I just love watching you so much so I miss you when you’re not on! Have a great Passover with your family and I’ll be looking forward to your next video! HEE!😄
Good for you! I'm glad you were not only able to identify the way were feeling, but prioritize what you were doing and eliminate the extra stressor you could! (Even if that was us. 😉)
Morning Chana, so glad to see your video today. I finished my move last night. It took a few weeks to be complete . So just sitting here in a house that needs to be unpacked and having a break with your video . Happy to see your smiling face .
@@jaroffireflies thank you ! My new home is under renovation still so a bit chaotic. We are bringing my mom to live with us because she is physically disabled now . My husband won’t be able to join us for another year because he is still posted to our former location. ( military) We are hoping he comes next year. I will have my son and my mom though so I won’t be alone. I am glad for that. Plus some of my husband’s family is in this small town.
Yay for a video!! Two thumbs up!!! The solar eclipse was awesome. If I were a little farther north, it would have been on totality. It looked like a crescent shape. Partly cloudy and sunny, and the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. I got a bang trim and a shampoo today. It was much needed. I was able to go to Trader Joe's, and Walmart. I needed bread and trash bags.
Those cake-pops are super cute! I'll bet your kiddos loved them! I still have quite a bit of cleaning in my kitchen that I want to get done for Pesach! Pray for me lol!
I love Brussels sprouts. I roast them. Toss Brussels sprouts in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper, set oven to 400 degrees. I cook till until nicely roasted and soft. Add blue cheese crumble cooked bacon bits (I know you can’t have bacon but they are great without also)!
Hi Chana I love the cake pop/popsicle molds. I have some popsicle molds from ikea but lost a lid to one lol. Where did u get them? I know my kids are in their early 20s, but come on, who doesn't like a good frozen treat or chocolate cake pop. I loved it when you closed the video due to that feeling of being overwhelmed. Good for you, be gentle on yourself. You are an amazing momma, my friend. ❤
Shalom! A tremendous video! Your home has some good meals! I hope that you get into the Seder plate next week. I am taking an Intro to Judaism class. It's fantastic!
Hi Chana! Hope you are all well. I have a question. Are there any family or favourite recipes from your childhood & pre-Jewish life that you adjusted for Shabbat? When you get the settings on the new device entered and optimized - take a pic of them and save in a photo album on your phone.
Thanks for the tip! To answer your question, no there aren't any recipes that I have specifically adapted for Shabbat, but there are recipes that I make for during the week. Because the food is made, chilled, and reheated, the traditional Shabbat recipes are already adapted perfectly for Shabbat cooking.
Well, good morning Channa, I can’t sleep, it’s 12:06am on Saturday April 20..I was looking for something to watch and guess who came up? I uses babbal also, I used to be fluid Italian, but since all the older relatives have passed , we don’t use our language skills like we did. My husband is still pretty fluent as he used his language all the time. In our house it was just Sundays when my grandma living with us. It is fun to know a different language when you need to say something out in public that might offend others. Trust me, nothing really bad, just how they are dressed or how wild their kids are.Apple krugle sounds good. Today will be the first afternoon of neighbors coming over to swim, we are having our first bbq of the (non) summer this afternoon. IMO, the pool is not warm enough, but the kids don’t care. We have solar panels, no heater, Friday afternoon pool was 76*.once the heat really hits here where we live, the pool stays about 85* which is comfortable….for me. Can’t your pharmacist set your son’s diabetic machine for you? Just a thought.
I haven’t been able to watch your family for a while and my how big Baby Firefly has grown! I honestly have no idea how you wrangle the kitchen, cleaning, cooking, teaching and videoing plus everything and everyone else too! You must be permanently exhausted! I worry for you! Much love from the Brit lady living in northern Portugal 🇵🇹! ❤
Awesome video today, Chana! I've been doing Pesach prep and saying, "but, that's okay!" a lot 😂! This happens when I can't reach something to clean and I have to call one of the kids from what they're cleaning and help with what I'm cleaning ... or *trying* to. Because of the 'but, that's okay' I'm getting through it and actually having fun with the kids. Thank you for that! I would love to try both of the kugels and the cake pops! I need to make that very soon. Baby Firefly sounds sooo cute. I really miss having a baby around the house. So funny - Baby Firefly is in the clean laundry. I hope that's a clean baby😂. I've been praying for everyone in Israel especially your husband's family. I hope they are well and safe. I don't know if you'll upload again before Pesach. Shabbat Shalom! Chag Sameach v'kosher Pesach!
Great idea with the cake pops! I have tried making round cake pops, more than once, without success. I will now try your way with the molds. Also I enjoy your gluten-free recipes. One of my granddaughters has severe eczema and bread, which she loves, can make it worse. Also most of our family is lactose intolerant so I appreciate the dairy free recipes you post.

I love the raisins! I can’t imagine them without them.
Right?!? So much better that way in my opinion
Why not make half no raisins then add raisins to the other half
@@kammiestarr I have tried that but I usually end up with the “wrong” amount and have found one variety is just better overall

When we had to switch the PDM they mailed us a worksheet to fill out before changing over but it would have been rough if I couldn't have copied them down. So many settings.
Definitely a lot of settings. Our pdf died without notice, so we didn't have updated info. Luckily the endo did, so I made corrections after our last visit.
Been thinking of you and your family Hannah❤
Thank you very much
I love your giggle , another great video❤
😊 thank you
Hello! I hope you had a peaceful Shabbot. I might just make some apple kugel to use up some older apples. Thanks for the idea!
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
My heart is with you and your family in Israel! On a lighter note, I'm glad I'm not the only person who doesn't use green apples. And I can't believe how much you got done before the kids woke up -- wow!
You use red apples too! So fun! Those early morning hours are my favorite because without interruptions I get sooooo much done!
I am going to have to make Brussel sprouts that way! I love them roasted and order them when available when we go out to eat. I didn’t realize it was that simple to do. The cake pops are so cute. I need to get molds to make them for my grands.They love them and they are not cheap to buy when we are out and about.
Have a blessed week and Shabbat
It’s so simple to make! I hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful day Shawn!
Oh it’s so good to see you on here. I missed you last week!! And I should probably assume with Passover coming up we may not see you next week either. I just love watching you so much so I miss you when you’re not on! Have a great Passover with your family and I’ll be looking forward to your next video! HEE!😄
I’m hoping to have a video up next week, so stay tuned! I’ve been filming it already :)
Good for you! I'm glad you were not only able to identify the way were feeling, but prioritize what you were doing and eliminate the extra stressor you could! (Even if that was us. 😉)
❤️❤️❤️
Morning Chana, so glad to see your video today. I finished my move last night. It took a few weeks to be complete . So just sitting here in a house that needs to be unpacked and having a break with your video .
Happy to see your smiling face .
Hope the unpacking goes well ❤️
@@jaroffireflies thank you ! My new home is under renovation still so a bit chaotic. We are bringing my mom to live with us because she is physically disabled now . My husband won’t be able to join us for another year because he is still posted to our former location. ( military) We are hoping he comes next year. I will have my son and my mom though so I won’t be alone. I am glad for that. Plus some of my husband’s family is in this small town.
@@HappyGirl4666 best of luck with it all! You’ve definitely got a lot on your plate!
Love this content!
I’m so happy to hear that! Enjoy! ❤️
Yay for a video!! Two thumbs up!!! The solar eclipse was awesome. If I were a little farther north, it would have been on totality. It looked like a crescent shape. Partly cloudy and sunny, and the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. I got a bang trim and a shampoo today. It was much needed. I was able to go to Trader Joe's, and Walmart. I needed bread and trash bags.
Thank you thank you!
Hi.. whenever my day goes crazy, I find one of your videos and take heart from you. If you can do it, so can I. ThNk you
Aw thank you so much for telling me that Sue!
Cake pop. God bless you and your family. 😊❤
Thank you! 🤗
I enjoy you so much. ❤
I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos!
Those cake-pops are super cute! I'll bet your kiddos loved them! I still have quite a bit of cleaning in my kitchen that I want to get done for Pesach! Pray for me lol!
You’ve got this! I’m in full Pesach cleaning mode right now too!
Beautiful food prep, Chana. Yum
Thank you!
Love your cake pops!
Thank you! 🤗
Everything looks delicious
Thank you!
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
❤ those brussel sprouts look yummy 😋
Thank you!
What a busy day. I am tired just watching you. 😅❤
It was exhausting but worth it!
I love Brussels sprouts. I roast them. Toss Brussels sprouts in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper, set oven to 400 degrees. I cook till until nicely roasted and soft. Add blue cheese crumble cooked bacon bits (I know you can’t have bacon but they are great without also)!
Oh the balsamic vinegar sounds like a super fun addition!
@@jaroffireflies it is!
Hi Chana I love the cake pop/popsicle molds. I have some popsicle molds from ikea but lost a lid to one lol. Where did u get them? I know my kids are in their early 20s, but come on, who doesn't like a good frozen treat or chocolate cake pop.
I loved it when you closed the video due to that feeling of being overwhelmed. Good for you, be gentle on yourself. You are an amazing momma, my friend. ❤
Thank you for your kind words Rissy! Always a pleasure to read your comments! I got the molds on Amazon :)
Omg your so stinking cute! Enjoy the weekend. 🎉
😊😊😊
Shalom!
A tremendous video!
Your home has some good meals! I hope that you get into the Seder plate next week.
I am taking an Intro to Judaism class. It's fantastic!
Thank you! Enjoy your class!
Yaaaaay 😊❤❤❤❤❤
Good Morning Chana.
Good morning Candace! 💐
The cake pops look beautiful! Did you guys watch the eclipse? Here in Cuernavaca we got about 75% coverage. I always get excited for eclipses.
We did!!! We are in the path of totality so it was a really incredible experience
Hi Chana! Hope you are all well.
I have a question. Are there any family or favourite recipes from your childhood & pre-Jewish life that you adjusted for Shabbat?
When you get the settings on the new device entered and optimized - take a pic of them and save in a photo album on your phone.
Thanks for the tip! To answer your question, no there aren't any recipes that I have specifically adapted for Shabbat, but there are recipes that I make for during the week. Because the food is made, chilled, and reheated, the traditional Shabbat recipes are already adapted perfectly for Shabbat cooking.

Thank you!!!
Well, good morning Channa, I can’t sleep, it’s 12:06am on Saturday April 20..I was looking for something to watch and guess who came up? I uses babbal also, I used to be fluid Italian, but since all the older relatives have passed , we don’t use our language skills like we did. My husband is still pretty fluent as he used his language all the time. In our house it was just Sundays when my grandma living with us. It is fun to know a different language when you need to say something out in public that might offend others. Trust me, nothing really bad, just how they are dressed or how wild their kids are.Apple krugle sounds good. Today will be the first afternoon of neighbors coming over to swim, we are having our first bbq of the (non) summer this afternoon. IMO, the pool is not warm enough, but the kids don’t care. We have solar panels, no heater, Friday afternoon pool was 76*.once the heat really hits here where we live, the pool stays about 85* which is comfortable….for me. Can’t your pharmacist set your son’s diabetic machine for you? Just a thought.
I haven’t been able to watch your family for a while and my how big Baby Firefly has grown! I honestly have no idea how you wrangle the kitchen, cleaning, cooking, teaching and videoing plus everything and everyone else too! You must be permanently exhausted! I worry for you! Much love from the Brit lady living in northern Portugal 🇵🇹! ❤
Thank you so much! Its lot but its ok :)
Those cake pops look so good!!
Thank you Allison!
We love babbel❤❤
Yay!
Awesome video today, Chana! I've been doing Pesach prep and saying, "but, that's okay!" a lot 😂! This happens when I can't reach something to clean and I have to call one of the kids from what they're cleaning and help with what I'm cleaning ... or *trying* to. Because of the 'but, that's okay' I'm getting through it and actually having fun with the kids. Thank you for that!
I would love to try both of the kugels and the cake pops! I need to make that very soon.
Baby Firefly sounds sooo cute. I really miss having a baby around the house. So funny - Baby Firefly is in the clean laundry. I hope that's a clean baby😂.
I've been praying for everyone in Israel especially your husband's family. I hope they are well and safe.
I don't know if you'll upload again before Pesach. Shabbat Shalom! Chag Sameach v'kosher Pesach!
But that's ok! I love it! Thank you so much for your prayers! Enjoy the recipes! Chag Sameach v'kosher Pesach!
Omg them cake pops look real good 😊😊
Thank you so much 😊
Great idea with the cake pops! I have tried making round cake pops, more than once, without success. I will now try your way with the molds. Also I enjoy your gluten-free recipes. One of my granddaughters has severe eczema and bread, which she loves, can make it worse. Also most of our family is lactose intolerant so I appreciate the dairy free recipes you post.
I’m so glad the gluten free recipes are helpful!
