Our family of 11 and What we made today: Snacks for KIDS, MOM, and DAD

[@janetcutler9539]

Love your little helpers cleaning up the saucepan choc mix and bowl mix, just priceless. It reminds me of my son's and grandchildren doing the same......

[@kinitokaibai6361]

Phew... you have so much energy! lol Amazing mumma bear!

[@lucyterrier7905]

I like your miniature rat terrier! We had one just like that. Sally. We had another, Lucy. She went to heaven a few weeks ago. We now have Penny. Love ratties.

[@amymaryon]

:(

[@hannahsvow2God]

Great video! I like my sweet potatoes plain or with butter and brown sugar too .

[@theresaspray7081]

Theresa here .......when I make puppy chow I mix cereal with wet ingredients in a jumbo size ziplock bag. Once mixed I add in the powdered sugar into same bag. It cut down the the mess and spills all over counter tops !

[@susanhogan4991]

Hi Amy l hope you and your family are having a blessed day thanks for sharing xx

[@RJG06]

We mainly bake or mash our sweet potato here in Australia but our families favorite way to eat them is in place of regular potato for tuna patties or eaten cold (after they're baked) in a spinach salad. So yummy!!

[@orgjam]

Lauren is a sweetie pie ! She's gonna be a cook just like momma !

[@wandamcanany5603]

I make my sweet potatoes mashed up with coconut, pecans, cinnamon and brown sugar. Bake with marshmallows on top. So yummy!!

[@jameskennedy9655]

Yep when Hollywood told me I should elevate these people to the Stars? I was like are you kidding me??? And now beautiful family you gave me something I can promote to the Stars. Yep I can love you guys.

[@candicegangadeen8424]

Good morning amy watching this video made me remember my childhood days in my mom kitchen

[@BodineAtkins]

Hi Amy, another awesome video with you and the kids and oh those yummy treats

[@jeny729]

Love your puppy chow recipe! I always lightly grease anything i'm measuring peanut butter in , that way i get everything out. I'll be making the puppy chow tonight!

[@palomam.9302]

I like the garbage bag snacks. Sounds gross but it's very useful.

[@shariabatie3531]

I don’t have a toaster either and my mom didn’t use one when I was growing up. We just always put it in a sheet pan and use the broiler function on the oven. Work great and just as fast.

[@amymaryon]

Yes ...I am dealing with crumbs in cup board now?!?!?

[@arthurbaker9127]

I love to boil my sweet potato's and make like mash potato's but add some candied nuts, your choice, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Its so good plus if you have left over they make amazing little pan fried sweet potato cakes from the left overs and or crust for a quick pot pie...

[@patsysparklingeyes9326]

Amy I drove by myself from Edmonton Alberta to Vancouver bc. I’m so excited to visit my 27 yr old beautiful daughter for supper at 530!

[@patsysparklingeyes9326]

The mountains scared me because it’s straight down and I’m afraid of heights lol I had to stop and get a hotel room but yesterday I finally made it all the way here. I left Saturday noon

[@christinagonzalez4303]

Lauren!!! Can't wait to see your house wife family videos 😁. All of you guys are so fun and inspiring to watch

[@StacyLWeiss]

We eat toast all the time. Avocado toast and peanut butter toast are a great quick snack. Sometimes even a meal for me. I do have a toaster but when I didn't, It's a lot faster to broil the bread. A few seconds on each side and it's perfect.

[@samanthazubia4060]

Loooove your videos! You inspire me all the time to keep up my hard work! Thank you! 😊

[@amymaryon]

You are very welcome

[@pattidavis8043]

Dinner looked soooo yummolishious!

[@patriciacampos9969]

[@LifeWithMrsB]

I’ve never made puppy chow before but I will be making tomorrow with the kids for sure :)

[@aylacarter1955]

Wow the baked rice looks so yummy. Fried rice is best made with rice thats been baked first. Its midnight here and im getting hungry hehe 😆💖🌼

[@donnaallison7462]

Good Morning!Have a great day.

[@dorcasrutherford8669]

That looked delicious. Yum.😋

[@mariearthurs406]

Hi Amy and family, I love sweet potatoe too and like to make it into a curry with chickpeas coconut milk and onions and spices it yummy as a meat free dinner x

[@amandatl]

Egg shell alert in brownie mix! That's ok...happens to me too. LOL

[@luluzulu183]

Everything looks yummy

[@erinb.5103]

I'm with Lauren, sweet potatoes with brown sugar, but I put a little cinnamon on it as well. Yummy!!

[@alicewhittington5506]

Yummy snacks, puppy chow is my youngest daughter's favorite. God bless

[@aylacarter1955]

I made the dorrito casserole for my boys this weekend past. They loved it. A kind lady gave it to me on here 😊💖🎈🌈 Cannot remember her name but it was very easy to make and they loved it. I made a small vegan version for me. 😊 so good! Yummy 😋

[@jacquibossier9808]

Good morning Amy have a great day my friend.

[@cindyreid7892]

Try buttering your toast before you put in oven , very good and different.. you are amazing in the kitchen Missy !

[@allthingsjulia2048]

Delicious looking snack recipes!! Definitely going to try the "Mommy snack" :)

[@Aimeemaher2000]

Morning again!

[@anastasiamckenzie384]

You should make truffle (rum balls ) their are really easy and even kids can help make them

[@UnBoxItwithMaureen]

If you put your oil needed in the measuring cup first then the peanut butter you don't have to spray the cup to get the peanut butter out.....just a friendly tip

[@aylacarter1955]

Oh smart thinking!! 😆

[@isabellaagbashe5289]

Hello ma'am. How are you doing? I quite agree with you about toasters. The oven does a better job. Lovely day to you and your family!

[@amymaryon]

Nice to see ya again. Enjoy your day

[@debrabuser9900]

Lover watching the girls cook with you

[@debrabuser9900]

Opps love watching my 10year granddaughter typed the response

[@amymaryon]

Me too

[@matavaipili4234]

U talk like misty homesteader. You have a great channel. Thanks for shareing.

[@Foxy-uq8bu]

Try butter and sour cream topped with grated cheese on your sweet potatos also good on lge baked potatos

[@tammyward9082]

New subscriber here. I have been watching your videos back to back so I decided to follow you. I love your videos and they are very helpful. I have always been a gather up my fragments girl. So just wanted to say that I love you and love all your advice.

[@amymaryon]

Nice to meet you . Glad u enjoy!

[@monasullivan5655]

Little salt, butter, brown sugar and mini marshmallows. sooo good

[@brittneyburton5365]

I used to always/only eat my sweet potato with butter, cinnamon and B.Sugar too..BUT try it sometime with Peanut Butter..you might think it sounds awful, but it will change your taste buds into something magical! It's sooo good with a dollop of PB!!

[@amymaryon]

Oh. Now there is an idea!

[@tinas30]

I love puppy chow

[@szyl8595]

i cut my sweet potato in wedges spice them with some garlic powder, tiny bit of tumeric, bit of cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and a very small drizzle of oil. bake them on a baking tray with parchement paper.

[@amymaryon]

Yummy thanks for sharing

[@bernicegolds6821]

Toast in the oven is 👍 great. Yum yum snack day. Have a fun wonderful day😀

[@amyhowell4000]

Hi. We have savoury mince with garlic. Then we out salad on top with sour cream. We eat that as a meal on its own. Can do this with normal potatoes as well. Or we just eat them plain xxx

[@carmencitadavis3751]

You should spray a little Pam spray in your measuring cups or glass whenever you are using peanut butter honey or molasses it will come out much easier

[@bethlewis9981]

I think she did! Peanut better is sooo sticky!

[@barbaralent5559]

What a great way to use left over rice, going to try this.

[@gwen5828]

Your puppy chow looks awesome, I have never had but I will be giving it a try. I think I will put some shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds and candied cherries in it. Thank you for sharing.

[@wynonadianechandler9366]

I like like my sweet potatoes like that too. Sometime I change it up and add sour cream too

[@carmenreyes8483]

Hello I always love your videos. Where did you buy your little chopper you used for tomatoes and for the hard boil eyes.

[@emilybh6255]

For toast, why don't you turn the broiler on and broil the bread until you like the doneness on each side? Then the inside of the bread won't dry out. Even better you could broil/toast one side, then before returning the bread to the oven to toast the other side, lightly butter it. When it is finished the toast will already be buttered.

[@maryreynolds5310]

I like my sweet potato like how Lauren likes hers, with butter salt and pepper, or brown sugar. Which ever, both ways is good. If I were to have a favorite...butter, salt and pepper. :)

[@1MrsEP]

I like diced sweet potatoes with oil and salt roasted or baked topped with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

[@sandhyams]

Cool...😄😄😍...yes we all will surely have a TANTASTIC DAY 🤣🤣🤣

[@remmary100]

Dogs are great vacuum cleaners!

[@phebefriddle9133]

Sweet potato... butter, salt, and pepper, shredded asiago cheese, and finely sliced spinach. Place in a warm oven to melt cheese and wilt the spinach, top with diced chicken or turkey. I think I could live on them.

[@amymaryon]

Oh delicious!! Saving

[@cinnamontoastclout4630]

Hello, omg I'm so in love with this recipe for your "puppy chow" but was wondering if I could omit the powder sugar?

[@amymaryon]

Sure it would be sticky

[@wendypudder5911]

Gd morning Amy, all that food just looks so good makes u hungry lol Have a blessed and fantastic day 💗 🤶

[@jessicakelly6393]

Sweet potato are good with butter and peanut butter but you need to melt together before you pour over . Add chopped pecans on top. So good.

[@lesliet7599]

Aloha, Amy & Lauren!

[@debbie.chicapoosmommy3030]

I like using my air fryer to bake our sweet potatoes, I know it takes a lil bit longer,but A.Fryer doesn't get my kitchen as hot my oven does,Also I start it an hour to hour an half b4 we eat,and worth the wait/so good and moist...Slice it a couple times half way thru the middle an poke a knife thru the sides 4/5 times..cook at 350 for 40mins/then 400 at 20/25 mins,.smaller s.p. less time,I know Microwave is faster too but I don't like using it when cooking for my furbabies. I like buying big sweet tators and I share w/ my 5 chihuahuas, they love s.p, mommie gets a lil no salt butter babies don't and once or twice a week I'll bake or make s.p. fries for my furbabies,.So we love sweet potatoes..Debbie from Missouri,..God Bless

[@amymaryon]

Oh thanks for idea

[@faithopeloveful]

Love your videos with all the kids in there. Would you be so kind as to link your food chopper?

[@amymaryon]

Someone bought for me amazon

[@spacecowgurl57]

You must have been a hoot as a kid!! xoxoxo

[@mrswebbshouse]

I love sweet potatoes! My favorite way to eat them is to take 4 sweet potatoes cut each potato into 6 wedges put them on aluminum foil covered tray coat the wedges with 1/4 of a cup of bacon grease add a little salt and pepper. Cover tight with another layer of aluminum foil bake at 375 for an hour or until tender. Delicious

[@amymaryon]

Oh thank you

[@szyl8595]

by the way, i saw in one of your videos that you avoid putting cheese on top of dishes because it tends to stick to the foil when you bake it. a solution to that is to cover the food with a layer of parchement paper and then foil

[@amymaryon]

Yes smart thank u for sharing that

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video. Yummy food.

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

Ground up coconut is coconut flour ,almond flour is ground almonds .oat meal flour Is ground up oat meal , rice flour is ground up rice ,bean flour is dried beans ground up

[@emilyblaich4846]

I always have leftover rice, so will try your baked rice!

[@susanhoward3092]

Amy that is neat how you did the salad !! Everyone can add there toppings to there likings !! Me personally I don't eat tomotatoes so that set up would be perfect for me...lol Loved the video 😉

[@annettecole6636]

Hi Amy I like maple syrup on my sweet potato,just a swirl of it .Well I am home in Canada,it was a long day yesterday 10 hour flight,8 hour time change and a 3 hour drive home, the mountains are beautiful,left in winter came back in spring,nice to sleep in my own bed and see my dogs!!!!! I got jet lag awful.Love your videos.Lol!!!!!!!

[@amymaryon]

Oh I am glad you are home. Now rest:)

[@hannahritchie1796]

Hey I have purchased a pkp 20 in 1 pressure cooker after seeing you use it a lot. I'd love if you could do a video in the future aimed at what I can cook my 4 children and husband in it. Thank you

[@FourSeasons04]

Hello Amy, I love baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey; butter when I'm splurging. I've never heard of snack Puppy Chow until another KZbinr mentioned it recently. You're the 2nd within a couple of weeks. The other YT coated theirs with coconut flakes.

[@nanamjbri]

I love sweet potatoes 🍠 just plain or a little butter & brown sugar and some chopped walnuts mixed in yum 😋

[@kayofthecountrywifeskitche9494]

Just butter on my sweet potato! Unless I’m making sweet potato casserole. Then I add brown sugar butter, sometimes raisins and pecans and marshmallows on top!

[@tashwill3244]

You r like me to quick for the kids to help more.

[@jellybean271977]

All the snacks look good. My mom used to make us homemaid snacks growing up. She made potato candy, This date candy that looked like strawberrys but was made out of dates and sprinkles and some other stuff, and she made fudge and buck eyes. Man I miss them sweet days. As far as my sweet potatoes I like butter and pepper with sauteed onions soft bacon bits and sour cream. If eating a steak with it then steak sauce mixed in the potato combo. And I dont like them with sweet stuff on it.

[@colleenshuster3154]

My mom uses flavored coffee creamers on her sweet potatoes

[@kimgriffin4092]

Good Morning Amy, I am new to your channel and I am love it, you have such great videos. My son would be in awww of this video lol ( he can never see this one.... lol ) he is grown now and lives about 3 hours away but the only treat he asks for is puppy chow and I send him a gallon zip lock at Christmas and within a few days he asks for more if he saw this he would wonder why I short him on puppy chow... Love your videos Have a Blessed Day

[@moanachadwick2603]

Lauren looks just like you Amy & beautiful too just like her momma

[@DragonflyArtz1]

Love the chicken idea!! Juicy and some color!!! The snacks looked good too! Now I'm wondering what "my snack" would be? Still love the trash bag snacks! Maybe I'll make some Spicy Mix, Chocolate Mix, Cheesy Mix... that kind of thing and bag em up in snack bags.

[@darkwolfnova344]

OMG! Lauren is the first person that does their sweet taters like me. That is so kool. BTW you should try homemade sweet tater fries.

[@gobigorgohomefamilymeals9389]

I find doing the puppy chow dumping the cereal in a garbage bag and then adding everything and mixing it that way works awesome when your making a huge batch because I make huge batches like this love your super mom ways Amy amazing

[@jastrajobscura9579]

Garbage bags are NOT food touch safe, meaning the plastic is toxic meant ONLY for GARBAGE. some plastic also give of fumes and can cause hormon issues or cancer after long exposure.

[@janebush2478]

Amy, do you think that dried plums or figs would work in those lara bars instead of dates? I have a bunch and I am looking for a way to use them. Thanks. Everything you make looks so yummy!

[@amymaryon]

I've done raisins and I didn't care for taste... if u don't mind taste of those then it would be great. I don't like raisins :)

[@laurielyon1892]

When you make the toast in the oven, do you put butter on it to help it brown? If not, how long does it take and do you have to turn it over at some point?

[@amymaryon]

No it just toasts it

[@amymaryon]

No butter

[@glendadalejones3753]

Hi Amy & Family :) My husband had a triple bypass 15 yrs ago @ only 42. Last Friday, 3/22, he had some chest pain went to urgent care clinic from there he was taken by ambulance to a hospital ; it's been 4 days & the surgeons/cardiologists are trying to find the safest way to repair a swollen bypass. They may open his chest again as a last resort. Would you please pray for him? We are Christians & know the power of Jesus & prayer. Thank you. Love Hugs & Blessings from San Antonio TX

[@amymaryon]

Absolutely! Lord Jesus...i lift up her husband to you now Lord...I know your power and what you can do...i am believing in Faith that you will heal her husband! We are standing on Your Promises and what you can and will do. We are anticipating the results with great expectations. In your precious name we pray Amen
