💛About us:
Hi! We are Trey and Rosa, we have 5 kiddos and we moved from the big city of Las Vegas to the outskirts of Pahrump to homestead and grow our own food with the goal of self-sufficiency. We have a small homestead with Nigerian Dwarf goats, ducks, chickens, and also have cats and dogs running around everywhere and recently converted to eating a full plant based diet due to health reasons.
We are passionate about growing our own food, eating clean & healthy, cooking food from scratch, desert gardening and making simple skincare products for our family and for you.
We specialize in making 100% goat's milk soap using fresh goat milk from our own Nigerian Dwarf goats that provide the most moisturizing bar of goat milk soap you'll try. We love all the benefits of our goat milk soaps and find that it's great for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin.

I must say, your hair is 🎉great 🎉, and all of your videos are inspiring ❤

[@thehaipath]

Hello there! Thank you so much for your compliment on my hair haha! We are so glad we can inspire you to eat well and cook well! Are you plant based also?

[@Frualbertsson]

@@thehaipath yes, since 3 years. Love to eat this way. And I always find it useful to look at your videos for inspiration, even though I work as a cook. Keep up the good work! 🤩

[@jocelynfoley6201]

Wow! What an impressive spread! And all homemade!

[@thehaipath]

Thank you Jocelyn! Yes we tried to make everything from scratch so we know exactly how it’s made! Maybe you can bring some of these dishes to your next pot luck or if you’re having a party 😉

[@LiniousRHoliday]

Beautiful family, great food, I'm inspired to cook today. Thank you.

[@thehaipath]

Yay! Go have fun in the kitchen!! What will you making today? 😋

[@4BluDolphins]

Yum!!! Looks fabulous too me💕

[@thehaipath]

Thank you! We had a great time making these dishes for our guests

[@johnblagrove5177]

I'm a long part of the party so i hope i will be able to enjoyed some of the meals that you've whipping up. Which i will try tp make.😊❤🇯🇲

[@thehaipath]

Try them all John!! Let us know what you’ve been cooking 🥘

[@suegow9638]

I love that you are including your children in the food preparation. They will know so much as the grow! I always wished that my momma would teach me, because she was a great cook. But she was also a super clean freak, so she hated when we made a mess. So good for you!!!! And the food looks yummy, too!!!

[@thehaipath]

Hi Sue 👋🏽 when I grew up my mom didn’t want me in the kitchen either, said it was too dangerous 😖 glad we’re able to raise the kids cooking, you’re right they will know lots when they leave the house one day 🥺

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

First time watching your channel 🤩 what a great family you have , they all are so competent in the kitchen and the food looked delicious 😋😋

[@thehaipath]

Hi there thank you so much!! We try to get our kiddos involved as much as possible 😍 do you cook a lot at home too?

[@sylviamiller4103]

Thank you for the great videos, the one thing I always serve to people who are not vegan are tacos. We usually have different ones my favorite is spicy lentil’s tacos.

[@thehaipath]

Hi Sylvia! Everyone loves a good taco 🌮 some spicy lentil tacos sounds delicious we have to give those a try. Have you been plant based for a while?

[@kaleediamond224]

What great ideals for appetizers. I am just starting to eat more plant based and not sure what to bring to a gathering that everybody can enjoy. Everything looked really good.

[@consciousobserver629]

Honestly people appreciate a salad at gatherings because the food is usually a bit junky. A simple BIG salad with some dressing on the side (or mixed in if no salt) would be appreciated in my experience.

[@thehaipath]

Hi Kalee! Chips and a type of dip or some yummy homemade bread is always up there in my opinion! Desserts are also very easy to make and bring too! What are some of your favorite non vegan appetizers?

[@carolklein9499]

Rosa I am so impressed! Wow! What a great spread! I have wanted to make a focaccia in like forever! Maybe I will try yours! I loved the idea of baking the apples and pears together also and the hummus looked wonderful! I am definitely trying that today. I so love your videos! Now go and enjoy those chocolate strawberries!! 🍓🍫

[@thehaipath]

Haha me leaving out the strawberries was a fail for our guests but it sure was a success for us because we sure did enjoy them strawberries 😆 Please try the recipes out! Do you use home ground wheat berries at home for flour or do you use all purpose flour store bought? The foccacia can work using all purpose too, it may be a bit sticky but adjust if you need by adding a bit of flour not too much. Let us know how it turned out Carol!

[@carolklein9499]

@@thehaipath I’ll probably use store bought flour. I’m 67 years old now so making things healthy yet easy is my go to!

[@sonjaBiblio]

I am new to this channel and I LOVE it! 😍😋

[@thehaipath]

Thank you so much Sonja! We love having you here!

[@Gangelizedtreasures]

Great video! Glad you had a good time. Family is so important. I would serve burritos with lentil quinoa taco meat or Cuban black bean street tacos with pickled onions. Both recipes my carnivore granddaughter asks for all the time.

[@thehaipath]

Those are some great options for someone who is carnivore! They’re both very hearty and meaty!

[@tisharodriguez9541]

lol The onions are “sweaty”. Looks so good! Maybe use parchment on your cake pans to get them out of the pans.

[@thehaipath]

Haha right! Yes! We definitely should’ve used parchment under the cake 🤦🏻‍♀️ that trifle was still gobbled up!

[@Pa72125]

Rosa, that was an amazing video!!! All the food looked delicious and a great variety!! It’s great watching the children help with everything. Glad you enjoyed your company and had a great day!! Thanks for sharing!!😊

[@thehaipath]

Thank you so much Patty 🤗 we enjoyed the food, the company, it was the perfect day!

[@sarahwoodhouse7887]

So amazing. I loved this video. Your kids are amazing!!

[@thehaipath]

Thank you so much Sarah! They are very helpful in the kitchen, do you have kids yourself?

[@marisamarss]

You look really pretty today in your intro and outro. Everything looks yummy! I did chickpea curry for meal prep today and added sweet potatoes

[@thehaipath]

Thank you so much Marisa! I had to turn it up for our guests it was a special occasion haha 😆 I normally like to go bare and natural but sometimes it’s nice to dress up. Should I do it more often for videos you think? Or

[@marisamarss]

@@thehaipath embrace your beauty and mix it up if you like! You are beautiful regardless ✨

[@thehaipath]

😘Thank you so much Marisa!

[@Leeannemud2018]

New subscriber! Would love more info on food combinations. Don’t know where do find good info like that.

[@thehaipath]

Hi there Leanne! Thank you for joining the community we are looking forward to getting to know you better! Are you on a restrictive diet or new to being plant based? We'd love to share with you some info, this is now on the list of videos to make!

[@Leeannemud2018]

@@thehaipath I’m vegetarian. I avoid dairy and all but do eat eggs. I would eventually like to transition to plant based but I’d like to be informed first

[@consciousobserver629]

I see... you "forgot" the chocolate covered strawberries. 😜 Lol Not an entirely bad thing. Everything looks excellent. 👌

[@thehaipath]

😂 “Forgot” them I did and enjoyed them later on 😝 thank you so much!! Loved your suggestion too so appreciative of you!

[@cranberrymerlin]

Hey! I'm only starting to watch this video but I've been watching a lot lately, also because you obviously made a lot of Videos recently. Anyway, it's super relaxed and enjoyable and just wholesome to watch this family life and especially all the delicious food you make😍😋 You inspire me for some cooking ideas. Also, you are a very good presenter and have a lovely way of speaking and I like your voice. Your videos look great too, very well edited and all that. On a side Note, you're super pretty as well. All of your kids are cute too😄 I hope that this channel will take off soon (and please remember your OGs when it does, hahaha)! Hi from Germany😊

[@thehaipath]

Hello there Anna! Oh boy your comment is truly appreciated! Thank you thank you for being a part of our family and we love having you here. We are so glad to have inspired you to eat better without missing out on taste! We will surely remember our OGs! You are what make our channel and help us grow!

[@thehaipath]

Btw Trey my husband and I met the first time in Hamburg Germany! Germany has a special place in our hearts ❤️🥰

[@cranberrymerlin]

@@thehaipath Lovely to hear that! Can't wait to watch your next videos☺️😊

[@venuscruz6075]

You must go to bed and dream that you are still cooking.............

[@thehaipath]

🤣🤣 Why do you say that? We cook too much huh 🤔 😂

[@venuscruz6075]

@@thehaipath No, not at all your a super woman............cooking for a large family is a huge task....I only cooked for 4 and it seemed a lot you put me to shame on how much you devote to your family.

[@thehaipath]

Haha I wouldn’t be able to do it without Yah giving me patience, without these helping hands and a loving hubby working hard to provide for us and teach us the healthy ways while we cook up a storm. 4 kids are a lot too, you’re a super woman yourself! 🙌🏽
