I loved the taste testing. So fun every time you do them. Mr Grack is really interesting to hear his input as well. He sounds a foodie like you. You two are darling.
Grace, please don't stress yourself filming and editing over vlogmas. I know its easy to succumb to the pressure of the TH-cam algorithm and wanting to please people, but just enjoy your December with friends and family and upload at your leisure.
Not really the case. The reason why so many TH-camrs do vlogmas, or more regular videos in December, is because advertisers pay more to advertise on TH-cam, meaning that one view in December gives the TH-camr way more money, like about THREE TIMES the revenue per view. Therefore she does need to do the vlogmas to make up the lost money for the months this year when she only uploaded 3-4 times on both channels combined.
Happy proposal anniversary to both of you! And a merry Christmas season! My wife would probably bake banana bread with your bananas. We were recently gifted an entire case of bananas and she's been making banana bread and banana-blueberry bread ever since. The house smells wonderful and all our neighbors have a loaf of bread. We call them 'bread' because she bakes them in bread pans. I suppose there's no reason they couldn't be baked in cake pans. I suspect it's just how you learned.
The riper and "rottener" the better (as long as they're not truly spoiled) for bananas used in banana bread! As they ripen, the sugar content rises so it makes for a delicious banana bread. We save the over-ripe bananas in the freezer just for banana bread and they barely need defrosting to use.
I didnt know you could make banana bread with frozen bananas! I always freeze them and i have wanted to make banana bread with them but didnt because thought it might change the texture, is there anything difference you do? Or just defrose and mash?
Almost everyone in my extended family has black bananas in their freezer for this purpose-although in New Zealand banana cake is more popular than banana bread & with chocolate frosting it’s delicious 🤤
You are the nicest person ever, your such a pure soul!! Your videos make me so happy! If there were more off you the world would be a better place! Hats off to your parents for doing a great job! I wish to raise my daughter like you! Xx❤❤❤
Yule logs test for sure !! Asda have a Black Forest one covered in white I assume chocolate it looks ace some does the Waitrose one and I have no idea what one to get - thanks for your amazing vids x
I want to finish knitting the jumper for my daughter this week for Christmas. I love Christmas. I used to make tons of Christmas cookies, candy, chocolates, buns, then we would take plates around to all of our friends and carol to them when we gave them. I can't do that anymore, but I have lots of fond memories. I love all your festive videos. They really help me feel more festive. Your bananas were perfect for banana bread. That's probably why it tasted so delicious. We call it banana bread because it is baked in a bread loaf pan, and it is a quick bread type recipe. Banana cake has about twice the sugar, butter, and eggs, so much sweeter, moister, richer. Merry Christmas all!
I have a paper that's due on the 19th and my goal for this week is to finish it by Sunday! The paper has taken up all of my energy this december and it would be great to be able to enjoy the time left before christmas to do some christmassy things I didn't get to do yet 🎄
I look forward to a new video everyday like actual excitement. Love the vibes and wreath making was so sweet. The carol concert looked so magical❤️🎄 thank you for making Christmas 2023!!
I’ve been wrapping presents while watching your vlogs and it has given me the perfect, wholesome, christmasy vibe this evening. Thank you so much for being such a lovely part of my festive season.
Oooohhh I use the BBC GoodFood recipe for the banana bread too! People love it! I think I usually add some vanilla and stuff but yeah, super good! One time I did a marble banana bread and chocolate sponge and that was so good :3 I even did a chocolate butter cream with it and people loved that also!
I'm so excited to see your vlogmas videos every other day that i'm also going back to watch your last years :D you really do put a smile on a lot of people faces Grace
You do an amazing job of vlogging and make sure you take time for yourself to enjoy the holiday season. I appreciate what you do but want you to enjoy and not stress.
My favourite mince pies this year is the Cafe Nero almond ones and the Reeves bakery deep filled ones (Reeves bakeries are in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset). I like the Sainsbury’s bakery ones. Am trying the M&S Collection ones next.
This week I just want to survive working full time during the day and being on a panto with my amateaur dramatics group at night! It will be so much fun but so tiering as well!
Fortnum & Mason's mini mince pies are the best of the best imo. They are bit expensive (£12 for 9 in a box) but so so worth it! Event better is they are ever sop slightly warmed up. Please give it a try. Lots of love, G xxx
An idea for January...free entertainment. In Australia it's a great month for going to free events. Maybe being winter you have less events but you're near a big city so there has to be something!!
You can get a 12 days of Christmas calendar to open from Dec 25 to Jan 6. I know it won’t take you far into January, but I think they’re a nice way to not have the festivities end cold Turkey on Christmas Day.
I’m hoping to finally finish the book The Nutcracker. I love the ballet and I love reading but never read the original story, I started it last year and then it just got forgotten about with how busy everything was, however I’m trying again this year and I only have 20 pages left so I’m going to make it happen this year!
Loving the Mr Grack commentary: 'yeah... I could hear the clag from here', 'taking headlines here so... 'jaw-cracker'' and the best when Grace said people called her greasey Grace 'ah... people are cruel'. The fact that we can't see him almost makes it funnier - tell him he's got a career in mystery commentating if he wants.
Hi Grace! I have to say that when you uploads a video, it really makes my day better. Thank u sm for spreading positivity. And thank u for uploading every other day although it keeps you busy. 🎉🎊🎄💙
Do jealous, I always want the pavlova and seafood Christmas but my family is old fashioned and we always have the hot roast (even if it's a 35° day) mince pies/pudding 😢
@@breakfastattiffanys741 Hahahaha, I was with my boyfriend's family for Christmas day this year, so I had to force myself through some dry ass meat. I got my salmon on Boxing Day though, so slay. I just ate an absurd amount of chocolate to compensate
im a totally mince pie and xmas pudding person! if you like xmas puddings review the most expensive to the cheapest. it would be great content even for next year, i love xmas pudding but the super fancy ones i dont like, to full of alcohol
ok pardon me because i'm canadian, but i always thought mince pies were savoury?? I thought it was just a meat pie. You know because minced meat = ground meat??? anyway, you learn something new every day. xox love u grace
I know what you mean, me too! They used to be filled with minced meat and suet(animal fats), in addition to the fruit and spices, however nowadays they don't include the meats, and to be honest I was a bit surprised when I tried one because I expected a flavour similar to stuffing!
I love you and your vids to bits! BUT if you don't like a product you're testing, why not give it to MrGrack or Dad Grack to assess? With you filming maybe and commenting! Then we'd get a better test, more deets, you know? You didn't give them a fair go methinks. Love you loads still! 😅 xxx
I'd be wasting my money on those Mincepies...they are not my thing in general... What will she be doing with all those 'things' now? Talk about a waste of money! The banana bread sure looked good...yum!
Yule Logs are disgusting and taste like notifications but pale tasteless cheap chocolate mousse / I’ve tried store bought and home made and they’re over hyped - the only thing good about them is their appearance Mince pies are warm and hardy and taste AMAZING and the pastry is sooo good when made right Trouble is you’ve clearly never had a good one Try one from Yorkshire You’ll be won over
Mr. Gracks commentary through out the mince pie taste test was so entertaining!!
I love how Grace decides to bake and eat banana bread in preparation for trying twelve mince pies 😂
Love the fact you both booked the same activity for eachother .....cute
I loved the taste testing. So fun every time you do them. Mr Grack is really interesting to hear his input as well. He sounds a foodie like you. You two are darling.

Grace, Aldi does mini Yule logs that were so tasty! You got like 5-6 in a pack and they were really nice!
Oooohhh I use the BBC GoodFood recipe for the banana bread too! People love it! I think I usually add some vanilla and stuff but yeah, super good! One time I did a marble banana bread and chocolate sponge and that was so good :3 I even did a chocolate butter cream with it and people loved that also!
mr. grack taking notes was cracking me up lol
I would love to see a yule log review, the Aldi one is normally my go to xx

These look like something I'd try...I don't like Mincepies, but with the addition of almonds/chocolate? Sounds a little promising!
so glad you used the bananas they looked PERFECT for banana bread!
Greggs mince pie PLEASE. They’re amazing !!!
Also accidentally vegan👍🏻
Where did you get your green long sleeved top from Grace, it's beautiful 😍
Thank you much love xx
My favourite part was you saying it’s boujee and Mr Grack noting down ‘posh’ 😂😂😂xx
Woah, all the activities look so fun
Marks and Spencers mini mince pies are the best !
Your hair is so adorable!
In my family we bake our own with shop bought puff pastry and shop bought filling, they are amazing. Just a cup and a lid,egg wash, no sugar on top.
Have you ever used Banana Bread to make French Toast for breakfast. Yum!!
This week I just want to survive working full time during the day and being on a panto with my amateaur dramatics group at night! It will be so much fun but so tiering as well!
I love hearing Mr. Grack 😊
Those bananas are perfect for banana loaf, nice and moist!
I think you should have that spotted dock pudding…. ‘‘Tis the season. It’s a canned product around the us 🤣🤣🤣🎄💕
Your hair looks lovely Grace x
Those are definitely banana bread ready! ❤

Going to see Mrs. Doubtfire with my husband and staying over night at a hotel! Christmas fun.
i'm from a country that doesn't celebrate christmas so all i have this december is uni finals so watching your vlogs is a great comfy stress reliever
It's minced fruit! No meat at all. Best of luck with your finals
@@JB-vd8bi oh okay that makes sense hahaha
thank youu!!

Your hair looks really nice and sleek recently, have you been using anything new? The cut is so nice, subtle but changes the way you look so much!
Your vlogs always make my day❗🥧 I think if you ever made a mince pie, it would be amazing 💕
I’m hoping to finally finish the book The Nutcracker.

This is what Iv been waiting for 😂❤🎉
Love your husbands comments as you ate the pie🤣🤣🤣
"I can tell the clag from here" - Mr. Grack LOL

I'm a yule log gal over mince pies like yourself - would be great to hear your Yule log recommendations!
Cosco mince pies leave all the others in it's icing dust 😊
Grack, you need to try the mince pies from Greggs!
Hi Grace! I have to say that when you uploads a video, it really makes my day better. Thank u sm for spreading positivity. And thank u for uploading every other day although it keeps you busy. 🎉🎊🎄💙
Playing bridge with friends for the final time before the holidays.
"It tastes like celery" - Quote of the day 🤣
I always warm my mince pies, just slightly 10 ish seconds in the microwave, makes all the difference. I never eat them straight from the box
No M&S ones in the mix? I have hunk they are my favourite mince pies.. but I don’t like mince pies so what do I know 🥧😂
Please do a yule log taste test with papa booth!
Mr. Grack…….please let us see you! It would be a great Christmas gift! 🎅🏼🎁
Please try the yule log brownie recipe 🙏
so, find the recipe for one you both enjoy and a family tradition is born...
Sweetie that’s a fantastic ripeness for banana breads or cake.
Lol mr grack taking notes of ur gradings and comments
I feel like itll be a miracle if I survive this week😂
I am definitely not a mince pie or Christmas pudding person 😅 I’m Australian, and in my family we often have pavlova, so I demolish that instead
Do jealous, I always want the pavlova and seafood Christmas but my family is old fashioned and we always have the hot roast (even if it's a 35° day) mince pies/pudding 😢
@@breakfastattiffanys741 We do a herbed salmon because I hate roasts! I dislike other seafood though 😅
@@dallae2153 herbed salmon?!?!?! I hate you haha

Please, please do a Yule Log comparison! There's so many awful ones!
I'm team yule log & mince pie but hate Christmas pudding
January is the worst 😭 I get so used to every one’s vlogmas and January is just sad and dead irl and TH-cam
I bake a really good mince pie it's one of my favorites especially with warm brandy sauce😊
Note to self:
Tesco finest all butter mince pie = claggy
Favorina Lidl mince pie
A lot of times the more "gone off" your bananas are the better the banana bread!!!
I have no idea what mince pies are but I'll have to look it up!😅 P.S I need to get my labs drawn.
Good morning from victoria😊
❤️
I like no lid because I don’t like pastry
ok pardon me because i'm canadian, but i always thought mince pies were savoury?? I thought it was just a meat pie. You know because minced meat = ground meat??? anyway, you learn something new every day.

Idk why I'm just finding out now that mincemeat pies are not actually mince meat as in ground beef lol. I had a little Google just now
:)
Open the banana. It’s the only way to know.
I'd be wasting my money on those Mincepies...they are not my thing in general... What will she be doing with all those 'things' now? Talk about a waste of money! The banana bread sure looked good...yum!
Yule Logs are disgusting and taste like notifications but pale tasteless cheap chocolate mousse / I’ve tried store bought and home made and they’re over hyped - the only thing good about them is their appearance
Mince pies are warm and hardy and taste AMAZING and the pastry is sooo good when made right
Trouble is you’ve clearly never had a good one
Try one from Yorkshire
You’ll be won over
The claggy mince pie was prb@bly the free from one. Luten-free pastry c@n be really claggy and gross!
