Those all looked so good! I think we have something similar to the beef dish in the US but I hadn't heard of any of the other things. My question for the q&a is: how long have you and your husband been married and how did you meet? 😊
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.
@@user-ru1ki I have not placed this comment in order to discuss nutritional value, but variety in the content of youtubers recently. Also, she mentions several times that eating habits in Russia (and if i can add Eastern Europe) differs quite a lot from America.
I like your husband's personality: humble and always smiling. He has the characteristics of a good and honest person. Overall, a great family! Greetings from Norway!
I do also . I am an American living in Israel for 30 years . It is a totally different but interesting culture here . We have alot of immigrants from Russia and Ethiopia living here .
First time that I see a normal, happy couple with a child living a normal life on RUclips or any social media for that matter. I live in the province of Québec, Canada in a town called St-Jérôme and I'm living in a room that I rent in a hotel built 145 years ago that has been turned into a room renting facility. It's a very quiet placeand I like it in here.
Nearly all good things I know about Canada are from the extraordinarily popular 90's TV series "Due South" and all bad things are from RUclipsr Black Pigeon Speaks. Seems there's a lot really rotten in Trudeau's "peoplekind"-country...
@@pattyriverapabon3546 Approximately $100-$150 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment. If I am not mistaken, it depends on a city you live in and size of your apartment.
Amazing how much regular people have in common and can relate to each other no matter where they are from in the world until our governments convince us otherwise...
I am Jewish and my family is from Russia- my dad always makes that first dish with the cottage cheese and eggs that he learned from his grandmother but he never knew the name! This is so cool to see a little piece of my heritage in a video. 🥰
Life in Russia may not be fancy but your Love for each other in that small household is So real and pure. You’re a smart young woman and things will definitely change for you in the future in a positive way. God bless Russia.
I live in Bulgaria now. And I love it. Like here is so much more "real" than my previous life in the UK. People care way more about playing with their children than working overtime and buying a new SUV. I have lived here 12 years and people here are much happier people than the average in the UK, yet they are much poorer financially.
@@piccalillipit9211 good for you. Who wants to live in UK, with horrible weather, expensive life, racial and social tensions and lots of globalist agenda. Bulgaria is beautiful. They have nice beaches and healthy food. Also lots of country life and nature.
@@piccalillipit9211 - I moved from NY to Alaska 30 years ago and we LOVE it. I love the cold weather and long beautiful white winters. I like the dark too. I feel all cozy inside my warm home. I cannot stand hustle and bustle of city life. We have family there, but, we have no desire to move back ever.

Very refreshing. I was never into those ''look at my perfect fake, hipster life'' youtubers. There's a place for everybody in the world, but when everybody is doing the same thing at some point it just comes across as showy and fake, 'cause it's just everybody competing for who has the most perfect life, and eats the healthiest avocado toast and the most organic oatmeal. It was all the ultimate brag fest. This channel is just completely refreshing, in showing the reality of what actually constitutes most people in the world, not just that of the ''playing modest, fake humble, while actually being well to do'' Western hipsters. The only thing worse than a bragger is a fake-humble bragger. This channel brings it back to grounded reality and sanity.
I love how you are able to sit together and all eat the same food with your little one :) you and your husband seem so friendly and it makes me so happy!
It's wonderful to see a mother cooking with a child on her hip, people are so detached from their babies nowadays but that was beautiful to see. She is gorgeous. Much love from Ireland 💚
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. Greets from Spain, mate :)
as a ukrainian, i'd like to stress how awesome buckwheat is, especially if you have issues with gluten. it's also rich in iron and is just super tasty in general :D
Good to know! My roommate/friend just discovered he can no longer have gluten, so I will try buckwheat. Also, I'm American but my relatives were from Ukraine.
@@VictoriaTerekhina i thought the green kind was one of those “health foods” that people eat specifically for weight loss, rather than it being actual food 😆
You guys are so adorable 😭 I’m a Russian immigrant in the US and when my kids take a nap I also MUST have tea with sweets 🍫 lol my husband doesn’t understand - it’s in our genes! I just found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it 🥰
oh yes, I dated a Russian over 20 years ago, and I must have tea with sweets. I don't understand why people don't get it. And, try to get American servers to serve hot tea at the same time as dessert, lol.
This is so cool! I was adopted from Russia, now in America. My parents never brought me up learning about my Russian culture (which I understand they aren’t Russian) But it’s cool to see how you make everything and the real foods you eat, very different from American food!
I feel guilty having so much food in my house. Here in America, many of us are used to excess of everything. You are so humble and interesting. Tell me more!
Lois Kinder, I wouldn’t call it food. I am afraid you don’t know the meaning of real food or a taste of real vegetables for that matter. Crap man, the damn fruits don’t even have a smell.
@@Igorsov Actually I buy fresh organic fruits and vegetables and eat 5 FIVE a day total. I cook from scratch, do not eat beef, veal, lamb, exotic meats and do eat a little chicken and fish.
@@loiskinder6133 Organic food is better, but still not the same if you were lucky to try the real stuff. 5 times a day? 🤦♂️ Surprised you have time to cook or eat 5 times a day, you must be jobless? There is no time in the U.S. to cook these days. I hope your stomach is not a size of a yoga ball...You must be a different American because all Americans I know, eat 3 times a day just like the rest of the world. Where do I buy milk that tastes like milk? I buy HEB milk and even the Promised Land milk, but it’s still not the real milk...
I’m from the United States and i enjoy learning about other countries and how they live and what they eat. The food looks amazing and I would love to try some Russian food.
Welcome to Russia! We have delicious products, safe and beautiful! And due to the national diversity, the cuisine is very diverse, from frozen fish and venison in the north to Caucasian cuisine in the south.
@@thelmabelda5447 here’s a recipe for the cookies Pryaniki recipe 1 cup sugar 4-5 T honey 100 g (just under one stick) butter 1/4 cup water 3 cups flour (approx) 3/4 t. Baking soda 1-3 t. Mixed spices, ground. Can include cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, black pepper, allspice, anise (This mixture was called сухие духи (dry perfume) in the old days, a nod to the preciousness of spices obtained in trade with India and the East, and it varied from region to region and from time to time based on availability.) Use your favorites or what is available to you, less for a gently spiced cookie, more for a stronger spice flavor. Optional sugar glazing 1/2 cup confectioners sugar (powdered) 2 T lemon or orange juice Combine all ingredients except flour and soda in thick bottomed pot and heat to thoroughly dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and slowly stir in half of the flour. Allow to come to room temp - either place by a cold window or make a pan ice bath in a bowl that you can place your pot in. Once cooled, mix in two egg yolks (reserve whites). Preheat the oven to 360 F. To the remaining flour, stir in 3/4 tsp baking soda and mix well. Slowly add this flour mixture to the dough. Once the dough is too thick to stir with a spoon, turn out onto a floured surface and with floured hands, gently knead the dough until it is smooth and only slightly tacky, roughly the consistency of playdough. Divide the dough into two portions. Cover the reserved portion with damp towel or cling wrap to keep from drying out. Roll the other half out on floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use cookie cutter or juice glass to cut rounds or shapes from the dough. Place on baking sheet (parchment or baking pad can be helpful to keep from sticking, but not critical) and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Optional filling Use fruit paste (quince is delicious), mashed dried fruits and nuts (prunes or apricot alone or with walnuts, raisins - it may help to steam or soak the dried fruit to make it soft enough to mash), thickened jam, jam mixed with ground nuts - the key is to form a fairly dry paste and not use a runny jam that will leak out of your honey cakes. The remaining portion can either be refrigerated for up to a week or rolled out now and baked. For filled cookies, roll slightly thinner dough and cut two shapes to form the cookie. Recommended - one slightly larger rectangle and one slightly smaller one. Place filling in the center of the larger rectangle and place the smaller rectangle on top. Fold the bottoms edges up and over the top layer and press with a fork to seal.
There are Russian and Ukrainian (same food basically) stores and restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, that you could try. Uzbek cuisine is great also, and something most russians eat, not just Muslims.
My grandpa wich I love with all my heart married a Russian woman, and she made pelmeni for us whenever I visited, and now as an adult I eat frozen premade Palmeni whenever I am sad or sick because it’s the ultimate comfort food and I remember my granddad and my lovely grandma taking care of me. 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 ❤️
Your channel is like a breath od fresh air ❤️ I love it that you are not the next minimalistic youtuber with Perfect Instagram friendly Ikea furnished all white or grey apartament. I love IT that you eat traditional and not vegan just because IT is popular. Can't wait for more videos 🙂

Hi! I discovered you yesterday through your apartment tour, I think it would be awesome if you did more videos about life in Russia like how you shop at a supermarket, where you go for fun activities/holidays, etc. Q: Can you talk a little about religion in Russia.
Your English is perfect. I’m so impressed. You and your husband are absolutely adorable. So is your daughter! God bless you both. Hello from the U.S.A xxo
We have a few Russian grocery stores here in San Francisco. We bought a package of frozen pelmeni and made it with sour cream and a delicious mushroom gravy. I think it was the best meal we've cooked at home!
I just made гречка с подливкой. I’ve never eaten buckwheat in my life until now. Purchased it at a Russian Market we have in our town. I have to say it was delicious and very filling. A lot of leftovers for another meal. Also picked up some pulmeni and will have that for a later meal. Thanks for the recipes.
I hope you liked pelmeni. One of my favorite dishes, but the taste depends greatly on the quality of filling. One can eat them with various small additions. I like pelmeni with vinegar, tomato sauce and black pepper (all at the same time). You can also try buckwheat with milk, it's a popular dish too. You just pour milk into cooked buckwheat, kind of like you do with cereal. But it's usually eaten warm or hot, and salty rather than sweet. Take care!
@@KayG5010 Most things are made with the same ingredients you will find in most supermarkets , there are a few that are kind of unique to Russia and other slavic countries but not many , just differnt ways of cooking them and cooking some things in a way that seems a bit alien , like frying carrots for borsch
I was born in Romania and moved to Italy 20 years ago. I remember my Monday morning breakfast at my grandparents home, before going to school: Sunday leftover pork cutlet, raw garlic on the side and mint tea with a lot of sugar... and I was happy!!
I totally get that happiness! As a Slovak who grew up in Italy, although I obviously love eating Italian food, a big part of me is totally super fond of the "naughty" Eastern European food of my roots 😋
I'm born and raised in the USA, and everyone thinks I'm weird for eating cloves of garlic raw. I have some Slavic blood in me, so I'm going to go with that explanation from here on out.
No matter where you are from, no matter when you where born your dad always "does not cook often" but he knows one or two dishes that he cooks to perfection and is very professional about :D
I cook all the meals for my family I cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner and today I took the Turkey stock I made, the remaining turkey, onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes and a few spices and salt and pepper and made a big pot of turkey vegetable soup.
Hello! I live in Preston county, West Virginia, US and buckwheat is a traditional crop grown here. However, it is usually ground into flour and made into pancakes! There is an annual Buckwheat Festival held in September where buckwheat pancakes are served with pork sausage patties and maple syrup, all made locally. Its delicious! Thank you for sharing your life in Russia!
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.
Buckwheat is traditionally used for porridge in Ukraine , not wheat oats like in England , i have tried it and will eat it but prefer wheat oats porridge , just what you are used to i guess
Hi there! I’ve just discovered you yesterday and I absolutely love watching your videos about Russia or Russian way of life because I’m not informed enough about it. And it’s nice to see it from the point of view of a young person who’s actually living it and not a documentary. More videos like this would be amazing! Well done on starting your channel :)
Spasiba for your channel!! I've worked in Maritime Security for many years and some of my colleagues have been Russian and I have visited Russia and experienced Russian hospitality many times. Your daughter is sooo cute and definitely puts a more family setting to your channel.
Delighted that the YT algorithm suggested your channel to me today. Love the simplicity of the minimalism, the humility, the easy laugh, the joy--beautiful. Greetings from the Northwest US!
In Germany nearly every bigger grocery store has a department with russian food or even a whole russian store in the city, because many Russians live in Germany. So it would be easy for me to get the ingedients for a delicious russian meal!😃 Love and hugs to you and your lovely family!😘♥️
Your love for each other is absolutely humbling No negativity No drama No bad vibes No greed Just simplicity , happiness and love Those traditional Russian specialities look delicious 😋
I love this family. They make their own happiness without relying on possessions that none of us need and people waste so much time and energy striving to attain. Thank you for teaching us so much in loving life.
While watching a video about living in a crowded building in Hong Kong the girl said something like “a grateful heart and a positive attitude are always free” and I see that same attitude on your channel always. Thank you for sharing you life and smile with the world.
Hello from Tennessee, USA! Watched your apartment tour and was hooked. Your daughter is so cute and your husband is too. Just enjoying see young people in love and making their way through the world. Thanks for sharing your family and your culture.
My mother in law is Russian and are makes those blinskies too...I love them. She serves with cherry compote and tea. I absolutely love Russian food and the culture.
Slavic vibes! Buckwheat is my main source of food since I'm intolerant to gluten, I'd recommend anyone to try savory buckwheat crepes (made with buckwheat flour) if you haven't already 🥰
The food looks soo good. I am from Romania and being former satellite country of the soviet union I can notice similar cuisine styles and even how the apartment looks :)) Reminds me of home since I am currently living in Germany for my studies. For you q&a : How did you and your husband meet? Do people generally get married young in Russia? What is your favourite movie/tv show. What is your favourite Russian music? Have a great day!!!
As a American it amazes me how well you speak English. We seldom hear other languages so are never expected to speak other languages. Thanks for posting.
@@hairdresser1300 omg yes not everyone , but it’s the most popular second language in schools - semantics 🙄😒. Point is that just because someone takes a second language for years doesn’t mean they can speak it fluently
i discovered your channel and starting bing watching now. I am soooo fascinated with russia. The language, the people, the nature. Great to see real life, not this artificial instagram world.
It's good to see that everyone in the world wants the same thing a warm home time with our family I'm in South Carolina in the United States and its great to see how people in other countries live. Thanks for sharing.
You are doing far more for real understanding, peace and harmony among people everywhere than all the armies and governments ever will. Keep up the great work !
Loving all your videos here in Northern California. Thank you so much for sharing your Russian life with us. I have learned much, especially that people are kind and loving everywhere. You are such a sweetheart. Take good care of that beautiful family. ☺️🌸🌿
As an Ukrainian born Ukrainian-Russian, living in the USA, I am so glad you were honest about buying the frozen pelmeni. I've watched too many videos of people trying to claim they make homemade pelmeni all the time. Lol.
Too damn long to make for a really fast eating... If I had a russian market near my new home I would definetly buy the frozen pelmenish. For now I dont cook it anymore 🥴🥴🥴
I know some people and my own family included that makes our own dumplings but it's family tradition and a huge family affair. Everyone, even the small children, help in the process. We make hundreds at a time and freeze it!
This is so interesting to watch. I feel like Russian culture is so mysterious here in North America lol. We are not exposed to it very much. That breakfast dish looked so yummy. I'll definitely try it myself
It’s so interesting to watch your videos. It’s easy as an American to think that people live so differently then us yet really are the same. What a breath of fresh air. I love how simple everything you do is. I wish I could be like that.
I'm vegan and my mother is from Russia, there are some Russian foods I still eat. I eat buckwheat all the time, my mom makes very good vegan borscht and I love vinegret :)
I had a Russian meal in London (I live in Scotland and our international cuisine options are kinda lacking except for pizza, Japanese and curry), it was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten - delicious! The staff were all really polite too.
I like your husband's personality : Humble and always Smiling his face. He has the characteristics of a good and honest person. Overall, a great family!!! Greeting's from Philippines 🇵🇭. 😍
Hello Vika! Your channel appeared in my RUclips suggestions yesterday and I immediately fell in love with it! I am French and I am very interested in Russia and Russian culture. I visited Moscow and Saint-Petersburg ten years ago and two days ago I was thinking how much I would like to go back to Russia and see smaller cities and villages. Of course, cuisine and food are always a big part of a culture and this video is great! I have learned how to make homemade pelmenis but I still need practice because they are still far away from perfection hahaha! I love how simple and authentic your channel and videos are! Do not change anything! Lots of love for you, your husband and your lovely daughter!
When I was 14 years old I had a russian friend and we always cooked together with her mum. We made pelmeni ourselfs and it was so delicious 😍 I wish I had the recipe. My favorite german dish (I'm from Hamburg so northern part of germany) is Sauerfleisch mit Bratkartoffeln (it's porkmeat in flavoured aspic and fried potatoes)😋
I like that your videos are real. You both look normal without outrageous makeup or hair or flashy clothes. I like to see what real life of real people is and that's why I enjoy your videos. Greetings from Montreal Canada
I’ve known one American guy who came to Russia and when he saw buckwheat served as a lunch in our summer camp he assumed that it’s “some food for birds”😂
My family comes from Russia, but my great grandparents escaped the persecution of Catholics during the Bolshevik Revolution and migrated to Canada. I’m Canadian, but love my Russian roots. Love your channel!
I am Bosnian but live in the UAE, also discovered her channel fee days ago and really enjoy it. Hope you like sarma, burek, cevapi, hurmašice etc 🥰 Greets from Dubai

Pelmini was one of my favorite meals....I still prepare it when I can find it frozen! I also used to make a stir fried pelmini with various veggies and a lovely asian type sauce! But served with sour cream is THE best!
My husband and I have been to Russia in 2016. My husband had business there. We saw these block apartments only from the outside I appreciate the tour!. We visited Moscow and St. Petersburg. We stayed in two very nice hotels which I know would be beyond the means of most Russians. We saw some very depressed areas, but also some lovely ones. The history there is amazing and the trip was very illuminating. We visited the Hermitage, churches, palaces, cemeteries , restaurants, the Metro, the Kremlin, etc. Learned and experienced so many things. I never thought it was a place I would ever go, but was so glad fir the opportunity and all the memories. Than you for your insider look at Russian life!
Hello Vika, I am from Hungary and I really like the Eastern European cuisine in general, and these recepies all sort of resemble Hungarian kitchen, but still different:) I will definitely try them, thank you!
I’m Hungarian!! I live in America. My grandparents and mom and uncles came here in 1953. They taught me how to cook Hungarian foods so I cook a lot of dishes for my family. I would love to come visit one day!!
Russian food is so good! I really miss the juice and yogurt! So much more variety in Russian and Ukraine then in the states. Blini, Borscht, Tefteli, Golobsti and of course Pelmeni were some of my favorite meals. 🤤
I came across your videos and watched a couple of them in a row, and I just realised that how much fake content we are exposed to on this platform. You are so natural and reflect things as they are. Lovely to see the life in Russia. You put a smile on my face. Lots of love
From the USA 🇺🇸 here, would live to see more of Russia and places you visit. Either outside at a park or local shops. Thank you and your little baby is so adorable!

I'm gonna try it soon, especially I rarely eat beef cus I never have any good idea what to do with it haha.

Hello from Texas, again ......My Father was not an educated man, but was extremely well read and growing up he insisted i read Russian Literature .....Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and Boris Pasternak being two of my favorites ..... My Father used to tell me all the time to always always respect Russia and the Russian people ....... that was not political, that was his steadfast view of a remarkably tough and fascinating people who have endured their share of pain in the 20th Century ........ In 2009 I had put a down payment on a trip to Prokhorovka and Kursk for my Father was a real expert on the Battles fought there in WW2 ..... we never went as he became ill and could not travel ..... I was heart broken as I knew it was his dream to see that beautiful countryside and the War Memorial ....... He passed away but I will always keep what he taught me in mind and heart ....... seeing your videos was proof that my Father was 100% correct, you are a wonderful and remarkable people and I am a better person learning about your life ...... :-)
Love your channel. I was born at the end of the "Reds under the beds" era. They should have warned us about the "Feds under the beds". Thank you for allowing us into your home. Cheers from Australia.

People care way more about playing with their children than working overtime and buying a new SUV. I have lived here 12 years and people here are much happier people than the average in the UK, yet they are much poorer financially.
@@piccalillipit9211 good for you. Who wants to live in UK, with horrible weather, expensive life, racial and social tensions and lots of globalist agenda. Bulgaria is beautiful. They have nice beaches and healthy food. Also lots of country life and nature.
@@fayefarahmand3375 I don‘t wanna be negative but isn‘t bulgaria racist as fuck
They are family goals.
@@piccalillipit9211 - I moved from NY to Alaska 30 years ago and we LOVE it. I love the cold weather and long beautiful white winters. I like the dark too. I feel all cozy inside my warm home. I cannot stand hustle and bustle of city life. We have family there, but, we have no desire to move back ever.
Your husband is so smiley! It's nice to see. You all look genuinely happy to be around each other.

Agreed he radiates happiness
@@mathildewesendonck7225 thanks
The perfect family with the perfect life ... this is by far the most realistic youtuber I came across in years .. thank you 😊
Indeed !
We need more like these family for sure
Very refreshing. I was never into those ''look at my perfect fake, hipster life'' youtubers. There's a place for everybody in the world, but when everybody is doing the same thing at some point it just comes across as showy and fake, 'cause it's just everybody competing for who has the most perfect life, and eats the healthiest avocado toast and the most organic oatmeal. It was all the ultimate brag fest. This channel is just completely refreshing, in showing the reality of what actually constitutes most people in the world, not just that of the ''playing modest, fake humble, while actually being well to do'' Western hipsters. The only thing worse than a bragger is a fake-humble bragger. This channel brings it back to grounded reality and sanity.
I love how you are able to sit together and all eat the same food with your little one :) you and your husband seem so friendly and it makes me so happy!
Sharon G Isn't it a breath of fresh air to see this beautiful family just be so normal and wholesome I love this too!
It's wonderful to see a mother cooking with a child on her hip, people are so detached from their babies nowadays but that was beautiful to see. She is gorgeous. Much love from Ireland 💚
So many moms in israel cook with their baby on their hip, we joke and say "all the things i learn to do with one hand" :) It's beautiful!
At my household kids weren't allowed to he kitchen since my aunt accidentally dropped a pot of boiling soup on my cousin.
@@taritangeo4948 oh my God, that would do it. Kids pull down kettles on themselves, it is dangerous ☘
In the U.S. if someone cooked like that with their baby at the hip ppl would imetiately start bitching about how close the baby is to a stove.
Yes, it's very nice to see your little family, very sweet 😊
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.
Greets from Spain, mate :)
as a ukrainian, i'd like to stress how awesome buckwheat is, especially if you have issues with gluten. it's also rich in iron and is just super tasty in general :D
I can’t eat American wheat or gluten. I would love to try buckwheat.
Good to know! My roommate/friend just discovered he can no longer have gluten, so I will try buckwheat. Also, I'm American but my relatives were from Ukraine.
As an Estonian I love buckwheat! ❤️ Its common ingredient in our households.
Agree with you! But brown buckwheat is much better than green one. I’ve bought green buckwheat ones and I couldn’t eat it at all🙈
@@VictoriaTerekhina i thought the green kind was one of those “health foods” that people eat specifically for weight loss, rather than it being actual food 😆
You guys are so adorable 😭 I’m a Russian immigrant in the US and when my kids take a nap I also MUST have tea with sweets 🍫 lol my husband doesn’t understand - it’s in our genes! I just found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it 🥰
oh yes, I dated a Russian over 20 years ago, and I must have tea with sweets. I don't understand why people don't get it. And, try to get American servers to serve hot tea at the same time as dessert, lol.
I'm not Russian, but I do the same inbetween chores.
Seems very similar to English tea drinking - I would have a cup of tea with some kind of biscuit like a couple of Bourbons or Custard Creams :D
This is so cool! I was adopted from Russia, now in America. My parents never brought me up learning about my Russian culture (which I understand they aren’t Russian)
But it’s cool to see how you make everything and the real foods you eat, very different from American food!
I feel guilty having so much food in my house. Here in America, many of us are
used to excess of everything. You are so humble and interesting. Tell me more!
So impressed with your English and your videos. Very well done and interesting. Hello from America.
Speak for yourself.
Lois Kinder, I wouldn’t call it food. I am afraid you don’t know the meaning of real food or a taste of real vegetables for that matter. Crap man, the damn fruits don’t even have a smell.
@@Igorsov Actually I buy fresh organic fruits and vegetables and eat 5 FIVE a day total. I cook from scratch, do not eat beef, veal, lamb, exotic meats and do eat a little chicken and fish.
@@loiskinder6133 Organic food is better, but still not the same if you were lucky to try the real stuff. 5 times a day? 🤦♂️ Surprised you have time to cook or eat 5 times a day, you must be jobless? There is no time in the U.S. to cook these days. I hope your stomach is not a size of a yoga ball...You must be a different American because all Americans I know, eat 3 times a day just like the rest of the world. Where do I buy milk that tastes like milk? I buy HEB milk and even the Promised Land milk, but it’s still not the real milk...
I’m from the United States and i enjoy learning about other countries and how they live and what they eat. The food looks amazing and I would love to try some Russian food.
Welcome to Russia! We have delicious products, safe and beautiful! And due to the national diversity, the cuisine is very diverse, from frozen fish and venison in the north to Caucasian cuisine in the south.
That Gingerbread loaf looks yummy😋😋😋 I am from Philippines, I love the American gingerbreads😍😋Any ginger flavored pastry is irresistible💞💓
@@thelmabelda5447 here’s a recipe for the cookies
Pryaniki recipe
1 cup sugar
4-5 T honey
100 g (just under one stick) butter
1/4 cup water
3 cups flour (approx)
3/4 t. Baking soda
1-3 t. Mixed spices, ground. Can include cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, black pepper, allspice, anise (This mixture was called сухие духи (dry perfume) in the old days, a nod to the preciousness of spices obtained in trade with India and the East, and it varied from region to region and from time to time based on availability.) Use your favorites or what is available to you, less for a gently spiced cookie, more for a stronger spice flavor.
Optional sugar glazing
1/2 cup confectioners sugar (powdered)
2 T lemon or orange juice
Combine all ingredients except flour and soda in thick bottomed pot and heat to thoroughly dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and slowly stir in half of the flour. Allow to come to room temp - either place by a cold window or make a pan ice bath in a bowl that you can place your pot in.
Once cooled, mix in two egg yolks (reserve whites). Preheat the oven to 360 F. To the remaining flour, stir in 3/4 tsp baking soda and mix well. Slowly add this flour mixture to the dough. Once the dough is too thick to stir with a spoon, turn out onto a floured surface and with floured hands, gently knead the dough until it is smooth and only slightly tacky, roughly the consistency of playdough.
Divide the dough into two portions. Cover the reserved portion with damp towel or cling wrap to keep from drying out. Roll the other half out on floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use cookie cutter or juice glass to cut rounds or shapes from the dough. Place on baking sheet (parchment or baking pad can be helpful to keep from sticking, but not critical) and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
Optional filling
Use fruit paste (quince is delicious), mashed dried fruits and nuts (prunes or apricot alone or with walnuts, raisins - it may help to steam or soak the dried fruit to make it soft enough to mash), thickened jam, jam mixed with ground nuts - the key is to form a fairly dry paste and not use a runny jam that will leak out of your honey cakes.
The remaining portion can either be refrigerated for up to a week or rolled out now and baked. For filled cookies, roll slightly thinner dough and cut two shapes to form the cookie. Recommended - one slightly larger rectangle and one slightly smaller one. Place filling in the center of the larger rectangle and place the smaller rectangle on top. Fold the bottoms edges up and over the top layer and press with a fork to seal.
There are Russian and Ukrainian (same food basically) stores and restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, that you could try.
Uzbek cuisine is great also, and something most russians eat, not just Muslims.
My grandpa wich I love with all my heart married a Russian woman, and she made pelmeni for us whenever I visited, and now as an adult I eat frozen premade Palmeni whenever I am sad or sick because it’s the ultimate comfort food and I remember my granddad and my lovely grandma taking care of me. 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 ❤️

Hi! I discovered you yesterday through your apartment tour, I think it would be awesome if you did more videos about life in Russia like how you shop at a supermarket, where you go for fun activities/holidays, etc.
Q: Can you talk a little about religion in Russia.
I just found you today and thoroughly enjoyed your video. You’re so natural and lovely and your family is adorable. Hope to see more of your videos.
Yes yes please do that I really love to see hows life in other countries are 🥰
I would love to see a video about Russian grocery stores, when we travel overseas we always go to grocery stores as we find the products interesting.
I'm interested 🌼😊🌼
Your English is perfect. I’m so impressed. You and your husband are absolutely adorable. So is your daughter! God bless you both. Hello from the U.S.A xxo
We have a few Russian grocery stores here in San Francisco. We bought a package of frozen pelmeni and made it with sour cream and a delicious mushroom gravy. I think it was the best meal we've cooked at home!
At least has some Russian areas out in the avenues. I lived on 42 Second. Thanks for the reminder.
Пельменииии❤️❤️❤️
I just made гречка с подливкой. I’ve never eaten buckwheat in my life until now. Purchased it at a Russian Market we have in our town. I have to say it was delicious and very filling. A lot of leftovers for another meal. Also picked up some pulmeni and will have that for a later meal. Thanks for the recipes.
I want to try their meals as well. We don't have a Russian market where I live so I'll have to see what I can find.
Pelmeni*
I hope you liked pelmeni. One of my favorite dishes, but the taste depends greatly on the quality of filling. One can eat them with various small additions. I like pelmeni with vinegar, tomato sauce and black pepper (all at the same time). You can also try buckwheat with milk, it's a popular dish too. You just pour milk into cooked buckwheat, kind of like you do with cereal. But it's usually eaten warm or hot, and salty rather than sweet. Take care!
Гречка is our everything))) This is the most Russian food)
@@KayG5010 Most things are made with the same ingredients you will find in most supermarkets , there are a few that are kind of unique to Russia and other slavic countries but not many , just differnt ways of cooking them and cooking some things in a way that seems a bit alien , like frying carrots for borsch
I was born in Romania and moved to Italy 20 years ago. I remember my Monday morning breakfast at my grandparents home, before going to school: Sunday leftover pork cutlet, raw garlic on the side and mint tea with a lot of sugar... and I was happy!!
I totally get that happiness! As a Slovak who grew up in Italy, although I obviously love eating Italian food, a big part of me is totally super fond of the "naughty" Eastern European food of my roots 😋
Raw garlic on the side ! My childhood haha
prometabolic breakfast
Uck
I'm born and raised in the USA, and everyone thinks I'm weird for eating cloves of garlic raw. I have some Slavic blood in me, so I'm going to go with that explanation from here on out.
No matter where you are from, no matter when you where born your dad always "does not cook often" but he knows one or two dishes that he cooks to perfection and is very professional about :D
And then there's my dad who never cooked anything.
I cook all the meals for my family I cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner and today I took the Turkey stock I made, the remaining turkey, onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes and a few spices and salt and pepper and made a big pot of turkey vegetable soup.
Hello! I live in Preston county, West Virginia, US and buckwheat is a traditional crop grown here. However, it is usually ground into flour and made into pancakes! There is an annual Buckwheat Festival held in September where buckwheat pancakes are served with pork sausage patties and maple syrup, all made locally. Its delicious! Thank you for sharing your life in Russia!
That sounds delicious!
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.
Nice input , love to hear about exchange …
Okay this sounds freaking delicious and I may need to make a pilgrimage to WV now!!
Buckwheat is traditionally used for porridge in Ukraine , not wheat oats like in England , i have tried it and will eat it but prefer wheat oats porridge , just what you are used to i guess
Hi there! I’ve just discovered you yesterday and I absolutely love watching your videos about Russia or Russian way of life because I’m not informed enough about it. And it’s nice to see it from the point of view of a young person who’s actually living it and not a documentary. More videos like this would be amazing! Well done on starting your channel :)
Thank you a lot!☺️🌼
Spasiba for your channel!! I've worked in Maritime Security for many years and some of my colleagues have been Russian and I have visited Russia and experienced Russian hospitality many times.
Your daughter is sooo cute and definitely puts a more family setting to your channel.
Delighted that the YT algorithm suggested your channel to me today. Love the simplicity of the minimalism, the humility, the easy laugh, the joy--beautiful. Greetings from the Northwest US!
I adore seeing such a realistic, humble, and friendly family. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
In Germany nearly every bigger grocery store has a department with russian food or even a whole russian store in the city, because many Russians live in Germany. So it would be easy for me to get the ingedients for a delicious russian meal!😃 Love and hugs to you and your lovely family!😘♥️
Thank you!🥰💛

Who are you to dictate what other people need?
While watching a video about living in a crowded building in Hong Kong the girl said something like “a grateful heart and a positive attitude are always free” and I see that same attitude on your channel always. Thank you for sharing you life and smile with the world.

My mother in law is Russian and are makes those blinskies too...I love them. She serves with cherry compote and tea. I absolutely love Russian food and the culture.
I LOVE Russian food! It's down-to-earth real and wholesome - no phony nonfat "cheese", nasty protein powders, or endless obsessing about calories.
Slavic vibes! Buckwheat is my main source of food since I'm intolerant to gluten, I'd recommend anyone to try savory buckwheat crepes (made with buckwheat flour) if you haven't already 🥰
The food looks soo good. I am from Romania and being former satellite country of the soviet union I can notice similar cuisine styles and even how the apartment looks :)) Reminds me of home since I am currently living in Germany for my studies. For you q&a : How did you and your husband meet? Do people generally get married young in Russia? What is your favourite movie/tv show. What is your favourite Russian music? Have a great day!!!

Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
As an Ukrainian born Ukrainian-Russian, living in the USA, I am so glad you were honest about buying the frozen pelmeni. I've watched too many videos of people trying to claim they make homemade pelmeni all the time. Lol.
Too damn long to make for a really fast eating... If I had a russian market near my new home I would definetly buy the frozen pelmenish. For now I dont cook it anymore 🥴🥴🥴
Not many Italians make their own tortellini either.. people are pragmatic
I know some people and my own family included that makes our own dumplings but it's family tradition and a huge family affair. Everyone, even the small children, help in the process. We make hundreds at a time and freeze it!
@@kirasgirl yes! But on the daily or just with myself? I'll buy frozen. Lol
In Kazakhstan my family always makes homemade pelmeni (dumplings) and then freeze them. I personally don't like pelmeni from store.
This is so interesting to watch. I feel like Russian culture is so mysterious here in North America lol. We are not exposed to it very much. That breakfast dish looked so yummy. I'll definitely try it myself
lovely family. your husband is a sweet heart as well as you. greeting from Puerto Rico
It’s so interesting to watch your videos. It’s easy as an American to think that people live so differently then us yet really are the same. What a breath of fresh air. I love how simple everything you do is. I wish I could be like that.

Hello Vika! Your channel appeared in my RUclips suggestions yesterday and I immediately fell in love with it! I am French and I am very interested in Russia and Russian culture. I visited Moscow and Saint-Petersburg ten years ago and two days ago I was thinking how much I would like to go back to Russia and see smaller cities and villages. Of course, cuisine and food are always a big part of a culture and this video is great! I have learned how to make homemade pelmenis but I still need practice because they are still far away from perfection hahaha! I love how simple and authentic your channel and videos are! Do not change anything! Lots of love for you, your husband and your lovely daughter!
When I was 14 years old I had a russian friend and we always cooked together with her mum. We made pelmeni ourselfs and it was so delicious 😍 I wish I had the recipe. My favorite german dish (I'm from Hamburg so northern part of germany) is Sauerfleisch mit Bratkartoffeln (it's porkmeat in flavoured aspic and fried potatoes)😋

I just tried making these little “ fried cakes”. Probably weren’t as good as yours but I thought they were good. I had mine with homemade cherry jam.

I love your videos! I studied in Russia a few years ago and I miss it! watching your videos makes me so happy
My husband and I have been to Russia in 2016. My husband had business there. We saw these block apartments only from the outside I appreciate the tour!. We visited Moscow and St. Petersburg. We stayed in two very nice hotels which I know would be beyond the means of most Russians. We saw some very depressed areas, but also some lovely ones. The history there is amazing and the trip was very illuminating. We visited the Hermitage, churches, palaces, cemeteries , restaurants, the Metro, the Kremlin, etc. Learned and experienced so many things. I never thought it was a place I would ever go, but was so glad fir the opportunity and all the memories. Than you for your insider look at Russian life!
Hello Vika, I am from Hungary and I really like the Eastern European cuisine in general, and these recepies all sort of resemble Hungarian kitchen, but still different:) I will definitely try them, thank you!

I’m Hungarian!! I live in America. My grandparents and mom and uncles came here in 1953. They taught me how to cook Hungarian foods so I cook a lot of dishes for my family. I would love to come visit one day!!
Russian food is so good! I really miss the juice and yogurt! So much more variety in Russian and Ukraine then in the states. Blini, Borscht, Tefteli, Golobsti and of course Pelmeni were some of my favorite meals. 🤤

My Father used to tell me all the time to always always respect Russia and the Russian people ....... that was not political, that was his steadfast view of a remarkably tough and fascinating people who have endured their share of pain in the 20th Century ........ In 2009 I had put a down payment on a trip to Prokhorovka and Kursk for my Father was a real expert on the Battles fought there in WW2 ..... we never went as he became ill and could not travel ..... I was heart broken as I knew it was his dream to see that beautiful countryside and the War Memorial ....... He passed away but I will always keep what he taught me in mind and heart ....... seeing your videos was proof that my Father was 100% correct, you are a wonderful and remarkable people and I am a better person learning about your life ...... :-)
I live in Australia, and I love learning about how you live over the other side of the world. Thank you.
Greetings from San Antonio Texas thanks for showing us a peek inside your world.
Thanks for giving us a view of everyday life on Russia ❤️. Love seeing the differences and the similarities to life here in Canada
Love your channel. I was born at the end of the "Reds under the beds" era. They should have warned us about the "Feds under the beds". Thank you for allowing us into your home.
Cheers from Australia.
