  • The longer I am a parent the more I realize how centering and bonding having a meal together is! It doesn't even have to be a formal "sit at the table" type of meal, just having a communal pot of soup available as the kids shuffle in when they are hungry is a very "together" memorable experience. Even if they critique the meal, the communal experience is what brings the family together. We eat a lot of bean based meals when possible because that is a good source of healthy protein that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
    Here is the authentic Mauritian Satini Concombre recipe we found:

    Moses sure liked that Garbanzo Bean Soup. Amber, I don't know why you say you are trying to be a better Mom. From what I see, you are amazing and it definitely shows in your kids. Can't forget Marc either, he is a great Dad. There is nothing wrong with a big pot of soup. That's how my parents were able to feed 9 of us kids. BIG pots of different soups and stews. It fills everyone up and goes a long way.

    These meals are all fantastic! You are an amazing mom. Your kids are so loved. You take such good care of them. You don’t have to make dinner every night to be a good mom. You are one already. Please don’t sell yourself short. Love your videos!

    What I love about your meals is that they’re simple, easy to make and nutrients dense, and doesn’t call for special ingredients, and the most important thing to me is they’re budget friendly. Thanks for sharing❤

    Don't ever sell yourself short and not think you are being a good mom, You are doing more than most of us could, and more importantly you do it with a kind, gentle, strong, loving spirit, your kids pick up on your energy and that's evident by the amazing children you are raising, that is far more important than a slice of frozen pizza ❤❤❤❤

    I’ve seen some TH-cam videos with Elijah playing. He’s so talented. It’s so unfortunate that he didn’t get into Juilliard. I hope he will get in next year. Since he’s not in Juilliard, does he have other opportunities to play live with other musicians other than his siblings? I know you mentioned that Pearl and Josiah have had that opportunity.

You really can't go wrong with a big enormous pot of Soup or chilly even ANY TYPE OF STEWS. They will feed an army. At low cost, with bread and butter. Or a side of RICE. Where's the little guy Moses KNOW WONDER IT was so quite in the kitchen he must be napping or playing with Melody. There he is, Hi Moses and SWEET Melody. The veggie Pizza looks so Yummy. Amber you are the best MOM. Tell Naomi I love when she's helping to cook or baking you know it's going to be so DELICIOUS. Hi sweet Naomi. Its always like feeding an Army in the De la Motte Family. Save me some I'LL me right over. I want to sit next to Melody. 😊 Oh ' boy lemon cake with lots of love for Pearl What a sweet loving❤ sister Naomi is.
