This was a sweet little behind the scenes, I love how you've both managed to balance work life and being parents, I hope everyone reading this is safe and has a good day c:
This is my favorite video! I loved seeing the recipes in real-time. This type of recipe is perfect for Senior Citizens. We can still enjoy a dessert without making an entire cake, etc. Potatoe Soup is my all-time favorite! I will be trying your recipe!! Thank you so much.
I love that you continually and faithfully reply to comments. Much smaller creators don't even bother, and it creates such a disconnect. Thanks Gemma! 💕
You inspired me to cook with just a microwave when I didn't have such a stable life, and now that I have a healthier life, I've graduated to better cooking and baking and you've been there all the way! Thanks Gemma!
Thank you Gemma, Kevin and sweet baby Georgie for letting us into your lives. And I have to say this, time and again, your recipes are just hands down the best Gems. Love it so much. May God bless you and your family always ♥
I think doing this was great! It's always nice to see Gemma cooking, but seeing her with Kevin and George and how her day goes makes me feel like I know her better. She has always been tops in my opinion, and this is just the cherry of top of a mug meal! Loved it, God Bless!
I tried a lot of these mug meals! They were spot on! I loved them! Now I have mug meals on occasion! I tried the Nutella cake in a mug, I tried the egg muffin in a mug! I tried noodles in a mug! I made the banana bread! They were all so yummy! I hope you make more mug recipes because I love them!
Hi Gemma and Kevin, I think doing a video like this makes you just a tad vulnerable personally but also shows people that you’re down to earth more than the normal recipe videos. Nice job with this one!
Thank you for the kind words, Vivien. Many of my followers have been asking to see a day in our life, which is pretty ordinary actually. My kitchen is just like most kitchens in homes. We work from home, and we work just as hard like everyone else. Pretty normal, but I have no complaints.
You are absolutely genius! Just when I think you can't out do yourself: you surprised me once again. What a wonderful video! Blessings to your beautiful family.
Omg I loved this video! Thank you for sharing how your day is like! You are a busy mom and wife but still make time without being in a rush! Such a motivation!!
I am an internal medicine physician. I am soo happy this video popped up today!! This is a GREAT IDEA for my patients who live alone! Even my older married couples can benefit from the portion control these mug meals provide!! I will definitely send them to your website!! TFS!! God bless you more!
I can’t wait to try these! I’m always looking for fast, easy, healthy microwaveable meal ideas! This will come in especially handy for when I return to the office! Would love to see more lunch and dinner ideas like this! 👍🏻👍🏻

Your mug meals have been such an inspiration, Gemma. I don't have a kitchen in my weensy studio apartment, but I do have a 1,000 watt micro, and I've learned how to make nearly everything I used to make on a stove, or in the oven, including meatloaf (just now had some for dinner!). I was getting a bit bored with what I was making, and then found your site very early this year, and "that's all she wrote," as my father used to say about anything that was a major change in life. Now I can make all kinds of wonderful foods, and with some experimentation, am constantly coming up with recipes of my own, based off of yours 😊. Please do continue to make the home-style videos; I just love seeing you and Kevin and George (and Waffles) in your home environment, and I'd really like to see a little more of your house, but without invasion of privacy. I just love homey houses, and it looks like yours is so.
What I like about Gemma’s vlogs are, I feel right at home watching them. Gemma talks to us like we are really there. Then Kevin and George pop in to visit!💁♀️🤣
I really enjoyed this video style. The mug meals and snacks looked very appetizing gonna give them a try. George is such a happy baby, no tears, just cute smiles😁
My favorite RUclipsr. You make me feel like a real chef with your genius recipe ideas, which you truly work on. My son, 17 yrs old, who likes to bake, is now watching you already. God bless, love your baby George.☺️♥️
Hey gemma u r amazing I just follow each and every recipe of yours.....today I made brownies from ur amazing cookbook ..my whole family finished it in just 15 minutes... I am a thirteen year old and I have followed you since I was a 7 year old🥰🥰🍪
I owe Gemma so much thanks. After my partner left, I spent a year eating my meals out of cans and bags. Finding her clips for mug meals on RUclips - her joy and delight, her easy conversation, her delicious food - got me cooking again and eating "real food, fast". Four years later, and I'm still happy with how easy they are with minimal ingredients. Thank you Gemma and Kevin, from the bottom of my heart.
Gemma, I just adore watching you and Kevin together. And I don't know how it's possible, but baby George gets cuter every day. He seems to have such a sweet easygoing personality which is good for your filming. I haven't made any of your mug meals yet, but I may start with breakfast tomorrow. I have a lot of bananas and blueberries in the freezer.
Thanks for your lovely note, Lisa. We really appreciate your support. Definitely give the banana bread a go. The oats, banana and blueberries are really great together. I hope you enjoy!
Wow. Morning routine is an amzing idea for videos. I would like to see more of these kind of videos. Thanks for the recipes. You look beautiful even in the morning without makeup. Take care
Hiiiiiii Gemma How are you I am obsessed with your videos And my favourite thing about your videos are the mug meals You are the best baker ever Regards from India
That clip of George sleeping on Gemma made my heart melt! Lovely recipes as always Gemma. Loved this different video, it was nice to see a little behind the scenes☺
You guys have a beautiful energy that translates into everything you are about… I love Your whole approach to living… keep being your gorgeous selves,especially baby George 🙂✨🕊 love and light
U have been an inspiration to me since your channel started...seeing the insight of a single day was a whole new episode seeing all your hardwork. Wont forget to try the mug cakes for sure.
Love and adore you so much Gemma. Such a lovely, warm, genuine, loving and family orientated, humble woman. Sending love and goodness your way from Cape Town, South Africa xx
Gemma you need to do more of these episodes it is so much fun. You and Kevin are so natural and down to earth. Always love seeing Baby George and Waffles as well. Anything pasta and potato related foods I'm in.
I am an Highschool History teacher on the go, and your Microwave Meals gets me through the week!! Thank you for sharing your awesome recipes!!! Sending you happy thoughts form South Africa!!
aww this is so cute! i love that you incorporated the recipes into your day vlog. a note about microwave mug meals: they're not only good food, fast, they're also an energy efficient way of cooking/baking!! seriously there's so much less heat/energy used compared to traditional oven-using recipes.
Loved watching your day, I know you did it years ago as George is now 3 (I think). Love watching your videos as you make cooking look fun and easy...THANKS
Waffles might not have been helping to answer comments but cuddles and kisses are always helpful in keeping us happy and healthy. George is getting so big! He's starting to steal the scenes when he's in them
Love this little behind the scenes. Cuteness all around!! Thank you for always going through the comments and replying or just likeing them! A lot of youtubers don't do that and it really meams a lot! Hope you and your family are safe and sound!! Thank you for all the recipes i refer you to everyone!!!
Support from you bold bakers means a lot to me! Feel free to search for recipes, baking basics and our premium quality products you like on my website www.biggerbolderbaking.com! Hop you enjoy all !
Baby George is getting so big! You tickled me when you were making your loaded potato soup in a mug, and said you were going to add chocolate, I got the best laugh out of that LOL.
I make a mug omelet. Super easy. One or two eggs well beaten. Chop up green onions, mushrooms, zucchini, cheese and crumbled microwaved bacon. The egg puffs up well in an uncovered mug but it puffs up even more with my Japanese mug with the vented lid. Microwave 2-3 minutes. ( I microwave bacon in a paper egg carton lined with a paper towel. Two slices cook up perfectly in two minutes and make no mess. The paper towel and egg carton are great fodder to start my wood or charcoal bbq grill as a fire starter. Put individual charcoals in the egg cups and on top and light)
It is a privilege to be invited behind the scenes. My grandkids, 10 and 12, are coming to stay for some time this summer. I plan to introduce mug meals for them to have to take back. Thank each of you for sharing so much of so much quality that nourishes deeply at many levels.
I’m delighted you like my mug recipes. I hope your grandkids would love them too. Get all my mug recipes here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/gemmas-mug-meals/ Enjoy!
All these little mug recipes are so convenient and easy to make, they really fill your up and of course Gemma's recipes are the BEST.... Lots of love gemma!
I’ve been searching for a whole wheat bread recipe for the last 5 days. This is the first place I come to for anything baking related. And when I heard you say that the recipe is coming ‘soon’, I felt all my prayers answered. Much love from India.
When it comes to whole wheat flour, I suggest 50% whole wheat and 50% AP or bread flour, so you won't wind up a dense result. Because whole wheat has more bran which weighs down protein a lot to make it difficult to rise. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind while alternating the recipe: note to hold back some liquid by using up to 3/4 in one go and adjust it accordingly to get the same consistency with mine. Here’re my recipes using whole wheat flour you may like: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-wheat-bread-recipe-no-knead/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/hearty-no-yeast-bread-recipe/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/irish-brown-bread-recipe/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-wheat-tortillas/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/irish-soda-bread/ You can also substitute 50% whole wheat flour for 50% bread flour or AP flour following the rule mentioned above in my other bread recipes: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/bread-recipes/. Stay tuned for more!
I so enjoyed seeing you all as a family, and a glimpse of your everyday life. Your quick meals in a mug are a terrific idea. Sometimes I’m on my own and can’t be bothered to cook a whole meal just for me. 🙏 Thanks 😊
Huge fan Gemma! Thanks for this sweet little video...seriously adorable. Ur son is beautiful MashaAllah! Gemma, like another commenter requested - Microwave bread please! But can you make a healthier version of it without plain flour? Also, can your mug cakes be made healthier by substituting all-purpose flour with another type of flour? Like oats or wheat? Thanks.
Thank you for taking Waffles in the video!🥰🥰I had told myself that I would comment only after watching the whole video. But sorry! I couldn't wait😂 And I also wanted to ask you.. If you would give George his first dessert to eat, what would it be, or what was it?(of you already gave him) I so wish I had a microwave😂
Thanks for being here, Elaine. Waffles is part of our family, so gets his share of being in the videos too. I haven't really thought about what dessert to feed George yet. But we'll get there.
I don't know your circumstances about why you don't have a microwave, but if it's affordability, you can get a smaller/less wattage one at Walmart for less than $100. I learned to cook all mug meals in a 700 watt micro before being gifted with a 1,000 watt (and oh, boy, what a difference that 300 watts makes!!!) They come in many different wattages, with 700 watts being the lowest, and I believe 1,250 being the most for home micros.
As you said, rumors. The technic for microwave has developed , been improved over time and the production is always under regulation . Microwave oven manufacturers are required to certify their products and meet safety performance standards created and enforced by the FDA to protect the public health. Microwaves are a safe, effective, and highly convenient cooking method. There is no evidence that they cause harm - and some evidence that they are even better than other cooking methods at preserving nutrients and preventing the formation of harmful compounds. I you do a quick google search, you'll see information from trustful authorities in different countries, such as: www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/microwave-cooking-and-nutrition www.bbc.com/future/article/20200714-is-it-safe-to-microwave-food www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/resources-you-radiation-emitting-products/microwave-oven-radiation But if you prefer too avoid it, you can bake my mug meals in the oven at 350°F /180°C (for conventional oven) or 325F/165C (for convection oven ) for roughly 10-12 minutes. However every mug is different so I advise checking on it after 10 and then make a call.
@@joligarcon5970 HOW do you explode a microwave? 😮I have never even heard about that happening. Also, how do you reheat meals? When I am cooking stuff like stews, goulashs, soups, I always make big batches so I don't have to cook every day. Then I just serve a portion on a plate a put it in a microwave and done. Sure, some meals can be reheated in the owen or in a pot, but for others it's quite hard. Like with stuffed bell peppers in tomato sauce. These take ages to be properly warm in the middle while heating them on a stove...
Go for it, Sophia. Just search these recipes Egg MugMuffin, Nutella Brownie in a Mug, Potato Soup, Fastest Banana Bread and Fettuccini Alfredo in www.biggerbolderbaking.com
I like that their kitchen is so realistic. Nothing against big kitchens, would love one some day, but this one makes these meals attainable and realistic for me.
Your the best ty for all you do for us. I have dropped other channels and just watch you. Your food it good healthy and fast . ♥️🤸💃✨💫🐾🐾 P.s. ever Try vanilla in mashed potatoes 😋
It's such a beautiful thing that you reply to all the comments 😊 Even tho you get thousands of them, you still take out time for replying to every single person 😊 Keep bringing in amazing content! 😄
I try to respond to everyone, Tanusha. It’s a commitment made when we started Bigger Bolder Baking. But there are weeks when I can’t respond right away.
That’s so sweet it’s actually you responding to comments!! All these years I thought you had a separate social media team or something like that 😊😂 thanks for all the great videos!!!
Kevin, put coffee and water in the coffeemaker the night before and set the timer ten minutes before Gemma gets up. The coffee will be brewed before she starts the mug muffins. You win, hands down, I mean, hands full.
@@biggerbolderbaking I am actually 8 yrs old and my name is Shereen I am using my moms account but I love baking sweet things. P.S earlier message was my mom.
For anyone who doubts the Nutella brownie... like I did... it is literally MAGIC!!! My grandson and I, who are both chocolate fiends, are completely amazed how great and easy it is!

I’ve been waiting for this video for years
Thanks for being here.
I’ve been searching for a whole wheat bread recipe for the last 5 days. This is the first place I come to for anything baking related. And when I heard you say that the recipe is coming ‘soon’, I felt all my prayers answered. Much love from India.
When it comes to whole wheat flour, I suggest 50% whole wheat and 50% AP or bread flour, so you won't wind up a dense result. Because whole wheat has more bran which weighs down protein a lot to make it difficult to rise.
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind while alternating the recipe: note to hold back some liquid by using up to 3/4 in one go and adjust it accordingly to get the same consistency with mine.
Here’re my recipes using whole wheat flour you may like:

You can also substitute 50% whole wheat flour for 50% bread flour or AP flour following the rule mentioned above in my other bread recipes: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/bread-recipes/.
Stay tuned for more!
@@biggerbolderbaking Thanks a lot. I'll surely try with these tips in mind.
My favorite episode by Gemma ever!
Thanks for joining us.
New "what I eat in a day" series on your channel? Good idea 😊 Greetings from Europe.
Thank you for being here, Turoczi!
This was fantastic, I loved it! Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us.
I so enjoyed seeing you all as a family, and a glimpse of your everyday life.
Your quick meals in a mug are a terrific idea. Sometimes I’m on my own and can’t be bothered to cook a whole meal just for me. 🙏 Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for sharing, Valerie.
Ur whole life just made me so happy taking your family walks in the morning it just looks soooo awesome
Thank you so much for the support.
Huge fan Gemma! Thanks for this sweet little video...seriously adorable. Ur son is beautiful MashaAllah!
Gemma, like another commenter requested - Microwave bread please! But can you make a healthier version of it without plain flour?
Also, can your mug cakes be made healthier by substituting all-purpose flour with another type of flour?
Like oats or wheat?
Thanks.
You can substitute the flour in most recipes, Shazi.
Thank you for taking Waffles in the video!🥰🥰I had told myself that I would comment only after watching the whole video. But sorry! I couldn't wait😂 And I also wanted to ask you.. If you would give George his first dessert to eat, what would it be, or what was it?(of you already gave him) I so wish I had a microwave😂
Thanks for being here, Elaine. Waffles is part of our family, so gets his share of being in the videos too. I haven't really thought about what dessert to feed George yet. But we'll get there.
I don't know your circumstances about why you don't have a microwave, but if it's affordability, you can get a smaller/less wattage one at Walmart for less than $100. I learned to cook all mug meals in a 700 watt micro before being gifted with a 1,000 watt (and oh, boy, what a difference that 300 watts makes!!!) They come in many different wattages, with 700 watts being the lowest, and I believe 1,250 being the most for home micros.
@@biggerbolderbaking Oh, the wonderful Banana/Oat/Blueberry muffin, of course! Nutrition meets deliciousness=happy baby, yes?!?
@@joyceblodgett9113 Thanks for the Information. 🥰Maybe when I am older I may buy one.
Such a fantastic couple loved watching them and little baby Georgie❤️
Thank you so much for watching! We really appreciate you support. :)
Loved spending time with you all! Georgie is so cute!
Delighted to have you here! Hope you enjoy my mug meals!
This was so much fun! Thank you for sharing your day with your fans, loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it, Paula!
Gemma isn’t it very unhealthy to eat microwave meals 🧁 ? I don’t know much about it but I have heard rumors.
As you said, rumors. The technic for microwave has developed , been improved over time and the production is always under regulation . Microwave oven manufacturers are required to certify their products and meet safety performance standards created and enforced by the FDA to protect the public health. Microwaves are a safe, effective, and highly convenient cooking method. There is no evidence that they cause harm - and some evidence that they are even better than other cooking methods at preserving nutrients and preventing the formation of harmful compounds.
I you do a quick google search, you'll see information from trustful authorities in different countries, such as:
www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/microwave-cooking-and-nutrition
www.bbc.com/future/article/20200714-is-it-safe-to-microwave-food
www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/resources-you-radiation-emitting-products/microwave-oven-radiation
But if you prefer too avoid it, you can bake my mug meals in the oven at 350°F /180°C (for conventional oven) or 325F/165C (for convection oven ) for roughly 10-12 minutes. However every mug is different so I advise checking on it after 10 and then make a call.
@@biggerbolderbaking I am very glad to hear that 🥰 Thanks a lot Gemma !
@@joligarcon5970 HOW do you explode a microwave? 😮I have never even heard about that happening. Also, how do you reheat meals? When I am cooking stuff like stews, goulashs, soups, I always make big batches so I don't have to cook every day. Then I just serve a portion on a plate a put it in a microwave and done. Sure, some meals can be reheated in the owen or in a pot, but for others it's quite hard. Like with stuffed bell peppers in tomato sauce. These take ages to be properly warm in the middle while heating them on a stove...
You are a true Gem! I love your channel! You have a beautiful family❤ Blessings from Georgia!
Thank you so much for the kind words and the support.

I like that their kitchen is so realistic. Nothing against big kitchens, would love one some day, but this one makes these meals attainable and realistic for me.

Thank you for the kind words, Susan.
It's such a beautiful thing that you reply to all the comments 😊 Even tho you get thousands of them, you still take out time for replying to every single person 😊
Keep bringing in amazing content! 😄
I try to respond to everyone, Tanusha. It’s a commitment made when we started Bigger Bolder Baking. But there are weeks when I can’t respond right away.
That’s so sweet it’s actually you responding to comments!! All these years I thought you had a separate social media team or something like that 😊😂 thanks for all the great videos!!!
It’s a commitment I made. I do try to keep up, so sorry for the late response.
She inspired me to love cooking
I'm delighted to hear that, Princi.
I liked this episode -- thanks for sharing the behind the scenes life of your family. George is such a cutie---I'll never get tired of saying it. :-)
I'll never get tired of hearing and loving it, too! Thank you for joining us in this episode.
Kevin, put coffee and water in the coffeemaker the night before and set the timer ten minutes before Gemma gets up. The coffee will be brewed before she starts the mug muffins. You win, hands down, I mean, hands full.
Love how you balance both life and work and being good parents love the mug meals pls pls pls make more.
