  • @karynmchenry4977
    @karynmchenry4977 Год назад +2

    This may have been answered already…but where are all your metal plates and bowls from? They look so practical. Also, I am one of 12 kids and just wanted to say I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by the negative comments people make on the videos. You are doing a far better job as a mother than most people could ever hope to do with only a couple of kids. When everything else is said and done, family is really the pinnacle of happiness in life and I would not trade my siblings for anything. Hope you go to bed each night feeling very proud of what you have created. My Mom used to say (regarding large families), “Those who get, get it. And for those who don’t, you couldn’t explain it even if you tried.” :). There’s something magical about big families and I love seeing people who are brave enough to take that on because it definitely isn’t easy. And as large families go, you are doing an absolutely fantastic job with yours. The world needs more mothers like you ❤️.

  • @raisingthewild4198
    @raisingthewild4198 Год назад

    For your bean burritos, you can make them a bit more by using black beans, 1 large can diced tomatos, 1 cube cream cheese and add taco seasoning. I usually cook this in the crock pot on low for 4- 5 hours, sometimes add diced chicken but do not have to. It's delicious on a tortilla.

    I had to pick a video to watch since I’m caught up.,You are having salmon one meal what what was the sauce on the salmon, We love salmon a lot. Hubby marinates it normally and then cook on the grill. Please tell me how you make the sauce for your salmon it looks really yummy. I love all food. I have never been a picky eater even as a child. My mom always talked about how I would eat the leftover cabbage. I always love cabbage in fact anything green. I am thankful our children took after me and my husband grew up eating what his mom cooked and a lot of the things That I absolutely love in the way of vegetables he never ate and now he loves all of them. I trained him good.❤😂❤

    • @TheHappyCaravan
      @TheHappyCaravan  10 месяцев назад

    Well here I go with the novel. 😁I have always made my chili with green peppers and everyone thinks I'm nuts. They really give the chili a great flavor. LOL, that hat on Moses! He is getting so big and that MS Rachel he watches and all of you teaching him, he is talking so well. I wonder how Moses is going to be with the new baby. He is sweet and loveable, so you should have no problems. I just love all of your kids, but Josiah really warms my heart. I think it's because you don't see many young men like him nowadays. So kind, dresses very well, is very intelligent and just an all around nice fellow. Whoever he chooses for a wife, is going to be one lucky young woman. Tell Josiah it's a good thing when an old lady says they are very special. 😊Thank you Amber and Marc for sharing your meals with us and your familys lives. 😊
