OMG I didn’t know your grandmother speaks Spanish! That’s so cute and lovely, we needed that. ‘Provecho’ means something like ‘enjoy or enjoy your food’

[@LeiV8]

I watch Allison daily from our living room tv. I was so surprised to see her grandma speaking Spanish that I came here to say exactly this 😆 I agree with her grandma. There’s really no phrase like “Buen Provecho” in English. I always say “Hope you enjoy your food!” but it’s not the same. She explained the meaning very well which is a wish for your food to digest well. Loved that she included this in her blog today ♥️♥️♥️

[@msjaxon5211]

I love that saying. Her grandmother is Cuban 💜

[@natalyv6642]

Yes I was thinking about that. Enjoy your food!

[@melissalievaart6935]

In the Netherlands we say: Eet smakelijk! 🤗

[@christinarivera9086]

Yea I was like oh my gosh she speaks Spanish I’m Puerto Rican and my family says it when we eat.

[@BreakconValen]

I loved your grandma's whole explanation about "Buen provecho" 😅🥰 I always struggle trying to find something to say in English for buen provecho

[@beam8250]

Hey Allison, I had no idea you have a Latina background. Do open up and share that side of you if you're comfortable doing so. So many of your viewers are Latina's and understand exactly what "buen provecho" means. It's a prayer of good nourishment, a wish that what is consumed is a blessing to the body, mind and spirit. Your grandma was right when she said Americans don't have such a saying. We really don't. Many of us may say "enjoy your meal" which is not the same thing. Love your vlogs!

[@vanityshop5155]

She actually mentioned it before in a vlog. I think over a year ago.

[@LaVidaClara]

Who else loves Allison’s abuela? 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@katelynlong2196]

you cultivate such a lovely life! would you ever consider doing a self-care routine? this is something i would definitely need/love to see! appreciate you xx

[@amygibbs2318]

My family says “bless this food and the hands that made it” ❤️ not exactly the same, but a nice and simple pre meal blessing! Love your vlogs! And love getting to see your family!

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

Buen provecho, " enjoy your food"😉. Love your grandma by the way! So excited to see her and when she was speaking Spanish I was like Woa!!! Made my day!💗

[@sharonc1326]

Omg is that your grandmother? She looks like a movie star! Wow! Gorgeous runs in the family!

[@bekahfielder2305]

AGREED!!!

[@carolinaleonardo8473]

Hi Allison and everyobe! Your grandma is so cute and sweet! "Buen provecho" is a wish that the food made the best for you, your body and your wellbeing ❤ Blessings!

[@Jasminarabian_369]

Best part of the video: your Grandma! She is GORGEOUS. Very charismatic & intellectual. Beautiful 🤩

[@carmendlugo1585]

Grammy is gorgeous 🤩 How wonderful you must enjoy her as much as you can! Learn her history & her life!

[@odalis6177]

The color of those strawberries!!! ¡Las empanadas, que ricas! Saludos para una cubana de otra cubana. The meaning of buen provecho is basically “ enjoy your meal”.

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Allison, you and Brandon are the most precious, loveliest souls. Thank you so much for always sharing your lives with us all. You are loved more than you will ever truly know. Never stop shining your magical lights. 💛

[@anabarlic9458]

Your grandma seams to be such a fun to be around 😆 I think she meant like "Have a good meal" 🤗 Loved the video 🥰💕

[@rebeccarendle3706]

🍓You should wash/soak the strawberries 🍓in water with vinigar... 🍓The vinigar kills the bacteria and mold spores and the strawberries🍓 stay perfect for min of 5 days in the fridge🍓. Lovely vlog🤗. In England (British English) we say "enjoy your meal" for "Bon Appetit"

[@LauraP2501]

Grandma you are right, americans don't have a word for eating time 😊 we say in romanian: "Poftă bună!" ❤ Your grandma is a 💎 I want many moments with her ❤😊

[@oliviab4412]

Currently a freezing cold but beautiful snow day in Nebraska🥶🥰 ❄️ So excited for spring weather that should be coming next week! Thank you for sharing such beautiful, aesthetic content with us Allison!🤍 Your videos always brighten my week!

[@taylornicole35]

Your grandma is so precious!! Such a beautiful video 💜

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Strawberry picking reminds me of the up upcoming spring and summer seasons 💖

[@siobhanlewis4511]

Feeling so much pressure with my upcoming wedding and seeing this vlog instantly grounded me! ♥

[@nancyk777]

Your wedding day is for you and your love, if you have each other everything is right. Just remember the people who are coming are there to love and support you so even a day that might be imperfect, is perfect if you're surrounded by love.

[@siobhanlewis4511]

That was such a beautiful thing to say, thank you for reminding me of that Nancy ❤️

[@annalisevezina]

I hope everything goes beautifully and you live happily ever after with your true love! 💗

[@alexandriafarnsworth3823]

Aww yay! Congratulations and everything will turn out amazing. Take a breath and know looking back as long as you have your honey, that’s all that matters ❤️😘

[@bettiewatson8292]

Can you please post everyday?! I look so forward to your post and so hate when it’s over! 🍓🍓🍓

[@ALISHAJPOOLE]

An Allison Vlog Is Exactly What I Needed Today, Thank You💐🌺💗

[@sarahpieren7403]

Same

[@gretchendodge4078]

I followed you a while back and you and Allison’s personality makes me so happy 🥺❤️ I hope you are staying safe and happy today. You make me smile

[@Claudia_K.]

Your gammy is so right! In German we say “guten Appetit”; it can be loosely translated as “may it taste good”. There actually isn’t an English saying for that. Loved this vlog as always. Xx

[@katiesantamaria6695]

Just what I needed I was babysitting from 7:15-2:15 so I’m a little tired and overwhelmed! Great way to kick back and relax with a new video of yours! You always help me calm down and remember to breathe! I’m so thankful I found your channel! ❤️

[@ianibrown8103]

I love how intentional you live your life! I take time to journal everyday, it is definitely grounding .

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Strawberry picking signals the coming of spring🤩🍓. I'm so proud to be a member of your lovely KZbin fam Allison✨!

Your videos always leave me in a better mood! So thankful that you share these life moments with us!

[@divyanshisharma7416]

You give me so much hope in the ocean of darkness. Thank you for being that one postive spark. Love from India ♥🤎

[@MichelleCordero]

Provecho is typically used to say “Enjoy” as you leave or wait for someone who is about to eat/is already eating 💪🏼

[@PhireJoy]

In Turkish, the equivalent of Buen Provecho is afiyet olsun. They said it alllllll the time. And no, the best English phrase like it would be “enjoy your meal” and really only wait staff say it and I’m guessing they rarely mean it 😅 I’m a Grubhub driver and when I bring the food, if I get to actually talk to the customer I’ll sometimes say enjoy. Your grandmother is right, we really have nothing that comes close to measuring up.

[@angelarobinson7072]

What an amazing start to the day💕I have always wanted to go strawberry picking!! Have a wonderful weekend Allison🌸🌸

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

It’s such a fun activity & yummy one too 🥰🍓 I hope you can go soon!

[@stephanieholderfield2475]

Que hermosa tu abue, Allison. Yes, buen provecho is Bon Apetit in English. It's wishing someone good health as they consume their food.

[@dianejohnson7235]

I was so happy to see you today! Those strawberrys looked so beautiful! Have a blessed day and see you soon!

[@saracarr3962]

Go watch a video when they visited Mexico together. It's the two of them. It'll melt your heart. 😉💕

[@kneadysetgrow3220]

In the Netherlands we say 'Eet smakelijk' - which means 'Enjoy with flavour' basically. It's to wish you a good, tasty meal.

[@yreldafernandez7188]

Allison keep up the awesome work love watching your videos ❤

[@betsysanchez9999]

No matter which blog you see , is a good one every time , so refreshing, and cute . Welcome to the Latin family, I was wondering where did Allison had such a good Spanish pronunciation in some of the blogs . Your mom and Grandma as cute as you. Went to try that food it looked so good .

[@haleyhamer7128]

This is super exciting! My daughter’s first birthday next month is going to be strawberry themed (her “berry” first birthday 🍓) we’re hoping to go to the strawberry patch as well. So this video was perfect ☺️

[@Adventuresawait68]

Great blog Allison, thanks for sharing your day. This morning after watching it, I made a jar of pickled onions too. They can make so many dishes even better. I’m going to use a few in my Sicilian Orange salad later for Lunch. I love this light and refreshing dish and it always reminds me of home. You should give it a try. Super easy and so good. There are a few variations, but I usually use what I have on hand. Sliced oranges (which I’m sure you have plenty of there), sliced onions (or pickled in this case), sliced black Italian or Greek olives, salt, pepper, olive oil, and a splash of red wine vinegar. Since you have the picked onions in there you may be able to omit it, but give it a taste and go from there. You can also add some sliced fennel bulbs (very Sicilian). Enjoy

[@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953]

[@trendingwithtori]

I love your Grammy at the end!! So cute! 💞

[@seehumvlogs]

I’ve been so into making pickled onions too! I love how hot pink they get. I put them on Buddha bowls and big salads. Also whenever I make chocolate covered fruit I melt a little bit of coconut oil with the chocolate and it’s solidifies so smooth. 🤤 you didn’t ask but thought I’d share this tip 🥰

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

We literally do the same thing with the coconut oil!!! 😋🥥 adds a nice flavor & creaminess! Great minds think alike 💖

[@seehumvlogs]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF indeed! Also my frenchie, Matcha gets a bit of coconut oil in her kibble for her coat and skin 🥰 Palmer is so cute btw! He looks so wise with his little beard 😂
