    You truly have a lovely family and I love how unlike a lot of other big families on this app you do try to feed your kids healthy even though it's super expensive as a fellow New Yorker I know and God bless them with such a great gift of music.❤

    Enoch’s gratitude for life and everything in it has no bounds ❤
    That Prokofiev Symphony sounded great! ( I have a tip for that pesky shift: my teacher used to always say- in shifting, hand never stops moving..see if that makes sense to Naomi) ❤

    What an eventful week!! The lamb kebab meal is truly spectacular! Thank you for taking us to the polo match & to the Brazilian restaurant. Pearl's meal looked amazing! Netta seems very pleased w/her new chair! So glad the games got there! Melody & Enoch were doing very well on Triominos 💫💗

    How great that your children are exposed to so many different cultural and culinary experiences!! ❤ Enoch has gotten so much taller and has come a long way with his violin lessons.😊 As always, the meals look amazing. I think you and Marc should write a 'Happy Caravan' cookbook, in your spare time of course! 😉

    I am always inspired by your family and how kind everyone is to everyone. I love how unstressed everyone is. I believe it’s from the example you and Marc set. Never feels chaotic even though so much is going on. Seeing Netta so happy about her high chair is Devine! I need to look for your recipes… where are they posted? God bless you all. Thank you for sharing your lives

    For the chicken rice casserole, you could use a couple of bags of frozen mixed vegetable. Avd they would be cheaper than the produce and would all be done the same time as the casserole! I’ve made my version this way & it is delicious

    Omg! I can only imagine what a month’s worth of
    Grocery shopping looks like! 😮Looks like a hard piece she is playing! Oh my goodness that lamb dinner looks so delicious and so beautiful!😮 with sharing that y’all do that’s a good way to keep the calories cut down, but yet still have a little yummy bite or two. can’t imagine living in such a wonderful family. I never had this so it’s good to watch y’all. I wish more families in America could have families such as yawls and all starts with having Jesus in our lives if it’s to be successful and I know that’s why is the foundation in your family and that’s what makes it works in the easy times and in the tough times, your children are gonna have such wonderful memories!

  • @marjoleinvanlieshout9429
    @marjoleinvanlieshout9429 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    For the chicken and rice dish, you could partly boil the rice so it needs a little longer in the oven so veggies will be more done

  • @jacquethirlkel3001
    @jacquethirlkel3001 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I know this may sound like less quality- but use canned veg all in your chicken casserole. Or frozen mixed vegies. It is still nutritious and quick. Just an idea. Thanks for all your great videos! God bless.

    I. think if you sauteed your veggies or cook them with the ric e in the instant pot they will get done faster and taste better. Red Wine doesn't add umami. Red Wine is more of a sour flavor. Umami is the flavor that is extra and can't be defined necessarily but some think it's funky. Add soy sauce or a bit of Worcestershire to give it umami, or you can buy powdered mushroom spice at Trader Joes to give it that extra flavor. Hope that helps!

I l9ve music n radio always on but if my kids wanted to play when they were young I would have been all for it. but myn8 liked sports well 5 rally into n 2 are couches now. but God bless your family n hope younger ones n future ones play aswell as others.i would do shopping or go fir walks during practice

    That Chicken casarole Dish I would of cooked the chicken in the Slow Cooker and if U don't have one...Put Chicken in the Oven in the Glass Dishes with seasoning covered...and put Rice,Veggies, tins of Soup with say 2 tins of water for the Rice to cook...debone Chicken then mix both together place into baking trays place cheese ontop cook to melt cheese then serve...keep chicken bones in cooker to make broth...
    That dish had NO MOISTURE to it...
    Casseroles are usually dishes in a BIG POT or SLOW COOKER...then serve with crunchy BREAD...
    Last looked like Orange Slop Sorry I would of eaten it...😢😢😢😢😢
    Maybe the daughter that cooks cakes should take over some dinner nights...or U could get the older kids cook 1 night a week...
