Awe! So cute! You're an amazing momma! Remember, no mom is perfect! Be thankful for what you did do and don't beat yourself up for what you didn't. 💙💙💕🐾
your food looks really good! let me give you a "yeast tip"- i used fresh yeast for years with many fails until someone taught me to just use try instant dry yeast instead. it is fool proof- always works, no fails, doesn't get bad (i keep it in the freezer) and it doesn;t even need hot water! once you start, you will never go back to fresh yeast...i hope it helps you as much as it helped me.
I knew they would be good when the dough rose and the popped up in the oil. Always enjoy visiting with you Chana. I took some apple pie from the freezer for us to enjoy when we come home from RCIA this evening.Oh and tell your husband I will be by for fish, chips and onion rings. They looked amazing to me.
Hi there, Looks like a fun time. Regarding the donuts the yeast is fine most likely it just requires cooler water. Water should be warm, not hot (it kills the yeast). Best wishes.
I enjoy your videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼I also bake lots of yeast recipes. 80-90* is a good temperature for yeast, slightly warm on your wrist is good. Thank you for sharing your orthodox ways-Beautiful.
Also, check Giselle Waldner's channel. She may be able to help you with gluten free baking. She lives on a Hutterite Colony and is the gluten free baker for her colony. I think her brother has Celiac. Anyway, she seems to have perfected many things that are gluten free.
Thank you for this great video! Your doughnuts looked really nice. You and your husband are such great chefs!! Have you ever thought of doing/making/publishing a cookbook of all of the wonderful recipes you and your husband make? I bet it would be a big hit. You could even give the profits to your synagogue. I love watching you both cook. Such fun!
Hi Bethany! I have thought about a cookbook... but I don't know if I have enough recipes or if I have enough recipes that re enough "my own" if that makes sense. I have no clue how much you need to change a recipe before it's "yours", you know what I mean? So the stress of that holds me back lol I may be overthinking it lol
Your dog has really grown! Love your fried food Hanukkah dinner. Bravo on all the courses. I have two of Bette Hagman’s GF cookbooks love her GF cookbooks. In her GF baking book she has one doughnut recipe, but not yeast risen. I have GF matzo meal that I use for breading.
All the food looked amazing especially the fish. I recently discovered my deep love for fried fish (only when my husband makes it. It's so delicious he's using a lot of lemon.) I hate doughnuts but yours looked amazing. ❤
You hate donuts?!? I didn’t know anyone hated donuts!!! But then again, I live in Texas where the state fair specializes in frying everything from Snickers bars and Oreos, to butter 😐
@@jaroffireflies I do! With all my heart. I'm pretty much alone with my hatred for it, I know lol. My husband loves loukoumades, it's very similar to a donought but a lot smaller. They are served warm, drenched in honey syrup with either cinnamon or nuts on top. Guaranteed sugar shock. 😁
I just started viewing your channel about a week ago and have been captivated by them especially your conversion story. Congrats on your newest firefly. How did you come up with Jar of Fireflies?
Do you know 1 out of 10 packs of Yeast are actually dead? It is good that you tried again with warm water though. Wishing you a Happy New Year! Kindly, Theresa from Women's Playlist
@@FlourEggsYeast I was just about to loop back to your comment! I used the same yeast today while I was baking bread and it was perfect! I probably had my water too hot or something. So weird! Yeast is so darn fickle! It’s the same large package.
Where did you get your menorah?? It is beautiful. I have never seen menorahs with oil burning. I have only seen candles. What type of oil is used to burn?? Also all orthodox men I have seen have the side curls ( I think the word starts with a p). Does your son's and husband have these?? Thank you.. Erica Jensen
Hello Erica! My husband ordered the menorah but he can’t remember from where. We don’t trim the hair there but we do not grow the long side curls (just our family tradition)
Ha e you changed your donut recipe since last year? I am hoping to be able to stand long enough with my broken leg to make them. My granddaughter will bae 21 months old and hoping that this will start memories for her.
Does your family exchange gifts during the Hannukah season? I'm also watching another jewish mommy channel and her family exchanges gifts. I know each family is different during the holidays
I had the understanding that Dogs were unpure in Judism and in other monotheistic religions. 🤔 As a Gospel believing Christian I am confused that you have a dog . Can you or another person answer this for me? Not trying to critique or criticize.... just wondering🥰Thanks
I live in the UK, a Christian country, and we are known as a nation of dog lovers, so dogs are definitely not considered impure here. Like you, I am not trying to critique or criticise but if you are a Christian, surely you consider yourself part of one of the monotheistic religions, so am a little puzzled by your question. Do you consider dogs impure ? I would be really interested in hearing from you. 🤔 As for Hannah, I love your videos. I find your attitude to life so refreshing and you just seem to take everything that happens in your stride, not always easy with 3 lovely kids and sweet little Bella. Please keep them coming. 🥰
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Everything you present is always so amazing . Congratulations for your beautiful videos

Thank you!
Thanks for the tip on how to take bags with on dog walks! lol, I know most probably missed that, but pockets seem to be hard in some of my skirts.
Oh wow. The fish, onion rings, and fries look amazing! I don’t even like fish that much but that looks pretty darn good.
Right? I typically only like to eat salmon but it’s an easy exception when my husband makes fish and chips 😋

I thought those were all good signs about the donuts too! Your apple pie after class sounds so yummy! I will tell him 😄 He will love the compliment!

Hope you are all enjoying your week! How are you staying cozy with the colder weather?
My electric throw blanket is getting lots of use! I’m in Round Rock. This is super cold for Texas!
Frist lot of yeast was dead love......
Oooh your husband does proper chips (fries).....
The doughnuts looked nice.....
@@tracyl1368 indeed it was
@@tracyl1368 yes! He lived in England for a while!
Those donuts look amazing!
Thanks you!

Thank you for sharing! I always enjoy watching your videos. The only downside of this one is it made me crave donuts something fierce! 😂 🍩 💙🤍💙🤍
Go get donuts! 😂 thank you so much for watching:) I’m so glad you enjoyed!!!

Hello and welcome! I’m so happy you’re here! I answer your question in this video: th-cam.com/video/8pzYkrZHtzU/w-d-xo.html enjoy!
Do you know 1 out of 10 packs of Yeast are actually dead? It is good that you tried again with warm water though. Wishing you a Happy New Year! Kindly, Theresa from Women's Playlist
Eek I did not know that! I use large packages, not the little packets. Does that make a difference?
@@jaroffireflies oh yes. What happened on your video is what would happen. It won't get anyone sick, it just won't raise the dough.
@@FlourEggsYeast I was just about to loop back to your comment! I used the same yeast today while I was baking bread and it was perfect! I probably had my water too hot or something. So weird! Yeast is so darn fickle! It’s the same large package.
@@FlourEggsYeast I’m just glad I didn’t toss it!
This was a super fun video! I'm a great cook, but my baking skills are not on par with yours. 😉
You are probably a much better cook than I am! I am better at baking :)

Hello! This is 1st time I'm hearing "proofing" what does this mean?
Proofing is when you let the yeast or dough rise :)
Ha e you changed your donut recipe since last year? I am hoping to be able to stand long enough with my broken leg to make them. My granddaughter will bae 21 months old and hoping that this will start memories for her.
Hello! No, I haven’t tried donuts again at all this last year since then. Sorry!
Does your family exchange gifts during the Hannukah season? I'm also watching another jewish mommy channel and her family exchanges gifts. I know each family is different during the holidays
We generally do one gift for every holiday all year :)
@@jaroffireflies Thanks for replying Chana. I really enjoy learning about your faith.
@@lisa4172 you’re so welcome! So happy to hear that
Your water is too hot. That kills the yeast. It has to be warm, not boiling. I know it's a bit late but don't know if anyone else noticed the steam

Why does your husband only go to services?? Is there a rule about this??
Yes, men are required to attend 3 prayer services each day
