Family of 12 🥰 What we eat in a week! + Josiah's 21st birthday!

[@christyhoehn8244]

I love Josiah’s interest in history and am especially fascinated with his historical recipes!!! I’ve always had that same interest and also historical kitchen dinnerware and cooking tools. You and Marco have a special talent for birthing colorful interesting and ultra talented children- no wonder you kept on going!!! Love you all!!!!! ❤️

[@judiklaus5291]

Happy birthday Josiah. Baking, was my contribution, to my large family. Started at 7 and still love it...at 67 years young.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Awesome! Yes baking is so fun!

[@stephaniedodds5612]

Mo is definitely a Daddy’s boy! Precious! ❤

[@Nancy-xr3wh]

Moses has clearly picked up his interest in food from your family - he seems fascinated by all the steps of preparing, naming and trying the different foods. So sweet. Happy Birthday to Josiah. 🎉

[@leighscott1877]

I love watching little Mo eat He loves everything! Happy birthday Josiah😊.

[@MAC_andJesus]

I loved Elijah trying the chicken, he gave a nice compliment to his dad saying “mmm it’s good” he’s such a fun guy to watch. His personality is so fun!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@JohnMc1776]

Happy 21st, Josiah!🎉 Thank you for sharing. Wow Those Pizzas look amazing!

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

Birthday blessings, Josiah. Im a Medieval Historian, so Im really impressed that you have dived into menus of the sometimes dodgy foods that people had as their everyday food. I specialised in Spain 711 to 1031..so I have RICE. Rice Puddings, Fried Rice, Rice with Lentils and Fried Onions, rice..rice..rice and SPICES. Perfect birthday singing there xx

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Wow yes there are some really interesting recipes from the old times!

[@leanneg4040]

I am thriving with these videos, THANK YOU. I always cook from scratch and have a rough short list of dinners I can whip up. But my head space is ZERO and you motivate and move me along! ❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

[@GeorgiaPeach87]

I love seeing Mo do his food reviews! 🩵

[@kates1118]

Hello Amber ❤ I just love how you all eat the same dinner, each serves up their own plate or bowl and everyone tries the food. You seem to have great success with the meals. The Banh Mi looked delicious. Happy birthday to Josiah and love to all of your children. 🥰🇦🇺

[@TheHappyCaravan]

🙏❤️

[@rbrb9404]

Love to watch your all’s videos showing us how you all cook in the kitchen! Thank you for sharing ❤

Happy (late) Birthday Josiah and the new haircut looks very handsome! Delicious looking meals and love how Mo likes to show us his food. So cute! God Bless from Diane in Oklahoma!❤

[@tribalwoman138]

Yummy on all the meals. I want to try some of the old recipes. Probably a cake first. ❤

I have a neurological syndrome that no one has ever heard of. I was an RN for 45 years and had to stop in 2019. Your videos make my heart happy.❤

[@glendaharding4884]

Wow, what incredible meals you have made, everything looked delicious!! Happy Birthday Josiah!!

[@sheriyee918]

Happy 21st Josiah 🎉 All your meals looks so yummy! Watching you cook, gives me ideas on what to make..

[@ceceparkinson]

Happy Birthday Josiah!!!!

[@jillwalls9330]

Happy birthday Josiah. My oldest son just turned 21 in April. It’s tough to adapt to having an adult as a child for me. Moses is adorable. He has such a big personality for such a small man. 😂🎉

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes they grow so quickly!

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

Happy 21st birthday Josiah! May God bless you abundantly in the years to follow!🎉🎉🎉

[@veronicaBolanos-mc4fc]

I love how you guys eat. ❤ Soups are always a great meal idea with the right bread of course, that you always nail!❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️🙏

[@damarishopkins3926]

Great video! I am so impressed by Josiah's affinity for early American History!! Loved his knowledgeable commentary when you went to the museum. I was further impressed that he participated in the July 4th SAR parade! And now again with his recreation of colonial beverages and cake. Wishing this young man a very Happy Birthday. Embracing the knowledge of the past is essential. There are many lessons to be learned and much knowledge to be gleaned. God bless!

[@mc5366]

Happy Birthday Josiah!!!🥳Impressive Cake! Really enjoy watching your dinner prep and how your kids are involved. 😍

[@VictoriaReed-pv6hi]

Happy 21st birthday Josiah! I hope that you have a good year and Moses is so cute!

[@marilynsmith7680]

Omg that looks good. Mo is o cute. What a wonderful family. 😊

[@lorisullivan327]

Happy Birthday Josiah!! (A little late now) May it be sweet!! I love how beautifully unique all your wee ones are! Moses is sooo bright! That he knew to point to his nose to say it smells good! ,not that my opinion matters- ☺️) but I think you guys are awesome parents! I used to play the egg slicer too… 😂 Lord bless you!!

[@TTPham-eq4tt]

As a Vietnamese person, I loved that y'all had tried the bánh mì bowl! It looked so pretty and tasty, hope y'all can try out more Viet recipes in the future!🥰🥰

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! The kids have tried a lot of Vietnamese food because their piano teacher was from Vietnam and at the recitals she would bring the yummiest food!

[@TTPham-eq4tt]

@@TheHappyCaravan Awww that is great!! Viet food is very diverse since food from northern Vietnam and southern Vietnam would varies so that is so nice that you guys are expanding y'alls tastebuds' internationally🥰

[@vernareid4738]

Hi i hope you read this .Ive started watching your videos awhile ago and i truly think your an amazing family .The kids are very helpful and respectful , I watched a christmas video a few times and there was so many negitive comments about what and the amount of gifts you give your kids .That video got me thinking abot my christmas over the years and mind was living with my large family and we got a few small toys a new outfit of clothes a book and a stocking with a few pieces of fruit .I can and will always remember the joy in my heart the days leading up to christmas .The things i remember and tresure the most is going to church on Christmas eve , smelling the fresh fruit from the stockings , the beautiful meal cooking on the stove and the family being together, the new outfit i was so proud of and knowing how hard my parents worked to put this all together..I loved the toys and book also but that wasnt tge meaning for me it was family and being together was he true joy .When you get negitive comments fjust take it from me you know tge true meaning of christmas and dont ever change ❤❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw Thank You So much! That really means a lot to me!🙏❤️🥰

[@marciasmusic3010]

Happy Birthday to Josiah! A fascinating journey into Colonial cooking and your incredibly healthy and delicious looking meals for a week! As a music teacher and Mom, Nana and enthusiastic home cook.. I totally enjoy seeing all you prepare and share.. with a bit of music in the background as well! Such a beautiful family!!🙏🏻👏🏻🎶🩵🩷☺️🌺

[@kaycampbell8532]

Happy Birthday Josiah! I have to mention you have beautiful hair! I love the color and the curls.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Happy 21st Birthday Josiah! Love your videos! Your lucky to have your hubby working from home often. My husband is gone about 65 hours a week currently (family of 13 in 2023, I know you get it) I think your pizza looked great! Your doing amazing! Sending love from Wisconsin!💕

🙏❤️

[@hoosierladyus48]

Happy Birthday Josiah! 🎂🍨🎁🎈I love Beef Stroganoff, especially the way you two made it. Some people make it with ground beef (which is ok) but using the beef cubes or strips really makes it delicious. I like how your kids get in the kitchen and make delicious cakes, cookies and other desserts. But, it's all homemade! Your kids are not picky at all.

[@mrwho6210]

Happy brithday Josiah hope you have a great day

[@audreyannelanfranchi6642]

I had to laugh. With your musical family, singing happy birthday in your home sounds very different than when it’s sung in mine! We are all basically tone deaf but sing with heart😂

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you! Yes they love to sing!❤️

[@kristinm7388]

Happy happy birthday Josiah!!!! I love your family and cooking videos!!!

[@kimbeard756]

Happy Birthday Josiah!!!! 21 !!! whoo hoo!!!!! Enjoy it babe!!!!!

[@trudyyurina5473]

You have a new family member in your house. I wouldn't have recognized Josiah with his hair cut. He looks very nice.

[@carmenbrown3437]

You all eat healthy stuff. And, you all cook great. The cake looked great. I grew up on brown rice and fish and beets, etc.

Happy 21st Birthday Josiah 🎁🎂🎉✨🎶🥳

[@suzannesahl1699]

It was a pleasure to watch your son celebrate his 21st birthday with his family. I was just watching a video and comments of another online family who celebrated their child's twenty first birthday and all it was was drinkingp. What was sad was the comments saying that is the normal. I don't remember when I turned 21 nor any of my friends turn 21 ever saying: "Wow, now we can drink."

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! ❤️🙏

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈 to Josiah, cake came out amazing. With Naomi's baking skills and Josiah you might have a bakery in the future.😂 All your recipes look amazing, you really go above and beyond to make sure your children's needs are met. Moses is adorable showing what he is eating to the camera and sharing with you. Beautiful family 👏💯.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

It’s so much fun to see all of the meals that your family makes. If you haven’t run into it yet, another great idea for recipes is the blog The Smitten Kitchen.

[@yadiramartinez8569]

Dinners looked delicious! Happy Birthday, Josiah! 🎉poor Mo looks like he had a rough time around dinner time. Loving your channel. 🥰

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes Mo is in the "I don't want to take a nap" stage so he is always sort of fussy by dinnertime!

[@annadam1971]

You don't have to cut open Spaghetti squash. Poke a few holes in each squash with a fork and either microwave or bake it under tender. A lot easier to cut open after its cooked. Cut it open and use a fork to pull the shredded squash off the peel.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Wow that is really good to know!

[@VikingUffDa]

The pizza looks delicious with all those veggies. I recently found a very good easy pizza mix with wheat flour from Italy called DeLallo Pizza Dough. The yeast comes with the kit - just add warm water. I order it through Walmart. I just got another shipment today. I have been using Classica pizza sauce which is also from Walmart - good - no preservatives, but noticed that Walmart has an organic sauce called Lucini Italia Organic Tuscan Marinara Sauce. I’m going to try that next. I add Italian sausage to the Lentil soup and dice the carrots. My recipe is a copy cat version of Carabbas. We like to pour oil in a dish, sprinkle with seasoning, and dip bread when we have the soup. Anyway, Happy 21 Birthday to Josiah! Your birthday meal and cake looked yummy!

[@cherylduncan5158]

Happy belated birthday Josiah🎂

[@colleenhoward5818]

Skinny Taste cook books are fantastic! My favorite is One and Done. The website is amazing too. Spinach ricotta quiche is fantastic. 🙂

Hi I make stroganoff with chicken now it is so good never again with beef I love it same recipe just chicken ❤️♥️happy birthday Joshua dinner looks good 🥰

[@MumandDadto10]

Happy birthday xx 🎉

[@mariahamilton5325]

I love Skinnytaste recipes! I have all her cookbooks.🤗

[@JC-wc1bs]

In Brazil, we eat beef stroganoff on top of rice with French fries (potato sticks) and the sauce is a bit more tomato heavy. I love it that way so much more!

[@gweisa899]

I enjoy you cook all these different types of food. Each week should make a different cultural dish.

[@redrubyslippers8284]

U should look at the pasta sauces that Don't have any sugars... So much better but might cost a little more... Or even make ur own sauce and teach ur kids how to make it. Homemade sauce is WAY better😊❤

[@alanparadise3139]

Your son sounds very interesting. I love Townsends. I like their clothes, I always say I can make them but I haven’t taken the time. Your meals always look so delicious.

[@katiedunk4901]

Happy Birthday Josiah! 🎉 My mom makes the best stroganoff and as a kid it was always my birthday request. She would use deer or elk from my grandad and serve over rice. It was so so yummy!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

That sounds good! I bet Josiah would love that!

[@shabbyshopper]

You should look up some Buddha Bowl recipes. We LOVE making them!

[@il0meel0]

Happy birthday Josiah! 🎂🎊 I thought the same too, where was our chief baker Naomi when he did the icing? 😂 But he really did a great, great job! The icing sure looked like meringue. Bet the cake tasted so good!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes it was really yummy!

[@beautifulvictory9683]

Love the short hair on Josiah!

[@patriciagreene5842]

Happy Birthday🎉

[@melissawingfield8666]

Glad to see another video! Happy Birthday, Josiah! The beef stroganoff and that cake looked really good ... when I have stroganoff, I have it with white rice instead of noodles. It was really interesting to watch Moses point to his nose, when he was trying to say it smells good. With the spaghetti squash, when I was a kid, my mother used the inside of the spaghetti squash and told us it was spaghetti (she just used the part that looked like it could be noodles)... and we believed her! It tasted just like it with spaghetti sauce on it! Hope you are feeling well!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes it really does look like spaghetti!

[@jessicatounkara8753]

Moses is a hungry guy. He is so interested in everything that is going on.

[@valerieleblanc8066]

We enjoy Townsend too!

[@laurscrayz1]

Wow! That cake is Gorgeous

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

My own recipe for pork loin, is to brown it in a Dutch oven. Put on a couple of tablespoons of fennel seed and a teaspoon of five spice powder. Finish cooking it in the oven. Salt and pepper to taste.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Wow that sounds really yummy!

Happy Birthday Josiah 🎉🎂🎁. The food looked delicious. My mother has a recipe for a cake of Martha Washington. We haven't tried it but I might. We have to break it down because it was one for a large dinner. I think it takes 15 cups of flour and so on. I'm a new subscriber. I've been watching your channel for a few weeks and you guys seem like a wonderful family. God bless you all. 💙🙏💙

[@lisavb5237]

He would be very happy in Colonial Williamsburg. Restaurant are very authentic.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes that would be fun!

[@debraridpath5674]

I love this recipe!

[@lsbond80]

If you ever have trouble cutting squash/gourd microwave it for a little bit first. It will soften it enough to cut 😊

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! I saw that as one of the options! I was so scared of that thing!😅

It's so yummy!

[@rebeccaoliver7977]

"Benjamin Franklin was apparently very high maintenance." Amber, you're hysterical. lol Amber, I'm not picking on you AT ALL but want to point something out that I just learned. I grew up eating Cheerios. Somewhere along the line I switched over to the Honey Nut variety that your daughter picked out. I've always liked them so much better -- last week I decided to look at the sugar content. 12 grams of sugar per cup of Cheerios. A regular-sized Snicker bar has 27 grams of sugar. Anyway, it was a real eye-opener for me. I tried to go back to the old Cheerios, but I'm ruined. Will just have to give them up. The food industry's job is to get me addicted -- they're succeeding but I'm fighting back. Cheers! Josiah has an amazing hobby / interest with his period food / antique food -- not sure what to call it.

[@suzannesahl1699]

I'd never looked at the content of sugar, but I do know that after I eat a bowl of cheerio honey nuts and take my blood sugar levels it always spikes up.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes the sugar content is so high! Oatmeal is definitely healthier.

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

Amber you and Mark are such a wonderful couple!

[@kimtuiai605]
