  • In this video I wanted to share with you what we eat in a day as a Russian family of three. We usually eat different meals but I decided to pick ones for this day that are considered as traditional Russian meals. These are the ones that we truly enjoy and eat on a regular basis and that our friends and relatives love too.
    I hope you'll like this video and feel a little bit hungry after watching😋
    Thank You!💛

      Oatmeal and avocado toast is an excellent meal. I guess that such an intelligent person like Vika has zero knowledge in nutrition. I eat pelmeni maybe twice a year. It is delicious indeed but it is very unhealthy to eat it often. If she ate meat at lunch she shouldn't eat more meat at dinner, especially processed one. It has to be something light. Also, they use a lot of oil. As a nutritionist consultant I could say that their eating habits are just horrible. They have really bad nutrition diet in Russia, majority of population is not heathy there and life expectancy is pretty short there as well.

It was always served with Schmand (Similar to sour cream), butter, salt and a lot of pepper. Thank you for reminding me of the little things that count ❤️

    FINALLY I found a mom who gives her daughter the same as she eats!!!!!!! Whenever any of my in-law family or friends come into my house stars with the song "our pediatrician say......". Fot data: Our girl has 15 months. Shes been eating the same as us since she was 6 m/o.
    ITS OK! Your pediatrician says that no sugar until 10 y/o, just organic vegetables and blend everything and my daughter can eat a whole fully chocolate muffin without breathing.
    My daughter eats everything and specially enjoys fish; she eats just what my husband and me have for lunch or dinner and shes healthier than all the babies I know, also, she has no allergies (people also has to opine about our 2 giant dogs and our 2 cats interacting with her and concern us about ñiñiñi allergy, rashes...........).
    So THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! Finally, a normal mom, growing a NORMAL girl.

      You can buy all kinds of groats, not only buckwheat, not only in a Russian shops, but also for over 100 years in every Polish shop, whether Ukrainian or Jewish one. Different types of groats are an important element of Slavic cuisine (like pasta in Italy). European Jews, who emigrated to the USA mainly from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, took the groats from the Slavs to their cuisine (and also, for example, pickled (salty) cucumbers, many types of forest mushrooms or gingerbread). So if you want, you can buy groats in America quite easily.

    It's unfortunate that in UK many children get junk food which as you might know is leading to obesity.
    Can I ask please are you teaching your baby both English and Russian languages?

    My wife is a Russian immigrant to the US along with her mother. I have learned a lot of Russian dishes. Being half Slovak I already knew numerous dishes that are very similar to their Russian versions.
    I have made Sarniki many times I make my own farmers cheese when I do, because my wife and mother-in-law like it much better than any commercially available cheese I have tried.

    It really looks good, but I have a correction as my wife Elena always makes pelmeni from scratch 👍
    She is really from the old school 😄
    Also Pirogi and borsch is made fra scratch.
    She`s really good in a kitchen.
    I love Russian food.
    It is typically Russian to eat sweets while enjoying your tea.
    My wife and daughter always do it too.
    It spreads to me, as Elena always bakes blini (pancakes) which I then dip in jam for my tea.

    Your minimalist approach to everything is just amazing! My question for Q/A: Well, since am also a minimalist, I've been struggling with seeing myself in big family gathering or like to be part of some events where that simplicity aspect is missing. I basically enjoy being in what I have. So do you also face some similar issues with families and other acquaintances or things have been quite soft-going for you?

    My grandparents were Russian. My grandmother used to make a dish using leftover mashed potatoes mixed with egg and flour. She would spread this out onto a plate and used a spoon to scrape half teaspoon at a time into a pot of boiling water. When they were done they were served with melted butter and a sprinkle of salt. Good memories.

    So very interesting! I have Polish heritage, but my grandfather was very proud of the fact that he could speak Russian. I had a co-worker from Latvia, and she had sour cream with just about everything! When I was in college, I went to New York City and had lunch at The Russian Tearoom. They had “borscht” on the menu and treated it like a delicacy. When it was served, I said “This is beet soup!” My grandmother made this all the time!” I never thought of it as a delicacy. 😀😀😀
