Family of 13 ❤️ What we eat in a week! Dinner Edition - Healthy Budget Friendly Meals

I love those McDonald’s happy meal boxes the kids created. So clever !!! Naomi’s attempt to make pasta also admirable! 😊❤️

[@tribalwoman138]

Naomi is amazing. tip for her unless she already knows. she can roll out the dough, lightly flour it then roll it up and slice it the size you like. It makes it faster to cut up . Naomi's pasta looks so good.

[@mookiemonin]

I love all your healthy meals. It is definitely possible to feed a large family nutritious meals on a budget. And I esecially love that Moses eats practically everythimg. ❤

[@threemusketeers4109]

That was the best sponsorship idea. Showing the gift wrapping element was so sweet! ❤I love Anna Luisa jewelry

[@dianaturley475]

Mark, is such a great chef. You’re lucky he likes to cook as he does such a great job.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! So grateful. When I met him he was a single guy but cooked frequently. Then after we got married and started a family, I mostly cooked, but he has a real gift for it!

[@reno5964]

Love the way you presented the sponsorship. Everyone is so consumer drive. I love the gifting aspect and Anna is very talented in her wrapping presentation.

[@zefcha4670]

oh, thanks for having us! we enjoy every moment with Happy Caravan Family!!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️🙏

[@adelineme9532]

Your channel is definitely my favourite! I look forward to each episode! Your meals are so well planned , so healthy and always look delightful. You girls all did such a beautiful job presenting the jewellery in your sponsorship! Looks so pretty. It’s just such a joy watching your sweet family’s interaction . Baby Neta is absolutely adorable. She melts my heart. Each of your children are so precious. You are such incredible parents . As always, you are blessing our world de la Motte family.❤️

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you so much!❤️🙏🥰

[@amandamurray06]

Your son playing made me cry! 🥹❤️ What a gift.

[@dolivier]

Thanks for all the food ideas, Tell Elijah I’ll be praying for March 7 th. Love the babies and I love how Anna and Chloe play with the 4 younger ones so sweet , Diane from Rhode Island ❤😊

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! We appreciate your prayers!

[@AlbertSnail]

Chloe and Anna are so clever doing origami with paper at 4:52 I would love to watch a video on the steps they take 🌼🌺🌻

[@Renita23]

I ended up just watching this you tube family. Just plain ordinary people. Always such a delight to watch.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️🙏

[@elizabethrodriguez2788]

Best family ever to follow ❤️

[@Trishagram]

Get so excited waiting for next video. Did you go to church yesterday? Go for snacks after. I love following your family all over. Sweet children and loving parents❤

[@cathyrobinson8667]

I love the Happy Meal boxes the kids made. So cute.

[@robynfedalen1777]

Love your videos. Poor little Moses, fell off his chair 😢 Neta is such a cute little button. Mark is always making such yummy foods, and he seems to enjoy doing it 😊 ❤️✌🏻

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Elijah;( I hope that’s who helped you film), did a great job of narrating and filming while you nursed Neta! Also awesome job on the homemade pasta,( Naomi) and those clever “Happy Meal” boxes! Oh and Anna’s gift giving boxes were perfect!

[@pattyrendon986]

You have inspired me to feed my children and myself wholesome nutritional foods. Thank you

[@kaakca]

Yeah, especially canola oil.

[@melissaMolinaro-b5l]

Fantastic job with the pasta Naomi! You can always fix the salt issue by adding extra salt to the cooking water! My husband makes fresh pasta and sometimes he under salts...That pasta sheet looks like perfection.

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Try lemon juice sometime instead of the vinegar I used to use apple cider vinegar all the time and started using lemon juice. I just buy the lemon juice in a bottle. It is wonderful. I like it even better than the apple cider vinegar and I also use avocado oil. I love your place. I can’t wait to see how it looks when you get your downstairs situated and decorated the way that you want it that is so ideal for your big family. Your Monday night soup looks absolutely delicious. I know Jesus must look down upon your family and just smile and laugh and just be so tickled by the joy and the love and laughter in the Christ likeness that is in your family. God bless y’all.

[@JOHN3n16]

All those recipes look so scrumptious ❤

[@BarbaraCullum]

Always enjoy your What we eat in a week videos. HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL. The jewelry is pretty and very creative with box making girls, good job! Also awesome Happy meal boxes everyone. What a great idea! Everything looked delicious, especially the casserole for Sunday. I agree Amber, Naomi would put a pasta maker to goo use! Elijah sounds amazing practicing. Neta's getting to be a big girl, she's so good. Mo knows what he likes and doesn't, bless his heart, so sweet. Amber so excited for y'all to get the downstairs also. That is a real blessing for your family. You all deserve it.❤ from AR

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you so much!❤️🙏

[@BarbaraCullum]

I love the kids creativity to make their own McDonald's Happy Meal boxes!!❤

[@MaureenDrees]

The hand-crafted Happy Meals are the cutest thing ever, such creativity!

[@melindaboyd8419]

I really love their Happy Meal Box! The kids are so cute and talented!

[@caroldenisefrans9445]

Naomi...is becoming such a good cook! She is so talented!😋😋😋

[@DawnPalmer55]

Let Mark know to use the back side (flat edge) of the knife to scrape the cutting board. If you use the sharp side, you will dull the knife very quickly.

[@betheurich7790]

Happy Saturday Amber, Marc and family❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

👋❤️Happy Saturday! ☀️

[@WalterKolek]

I don't like to cook, but I sure do enjoy your videos on what you're making for the week.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

We are working on putting new recipes on the website. We’ll work on that!❤️

[@DonnaGarcia-s9t]

I recently received an attachment for my kitchen Aid for making pasta!

[@karenharris7206]

I put the chicken skins in the air fryer with some seasonings on them and air dry them. They are delish. They're a crispy yummy treat. 😋

[@Timbergal]

Netta is growing so fast! She is so lucky to have so many wonderful siblings around to give her such lovely attention ❤

[@dianaturley475]

You should look into buying the better than bouillon base, or even the powder bases as they take up less space in your cabinets

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! I love the better than bouillon beef bouillon!

[@dianaturley475]

With the amount of broth you use and space storing it the better the bouillon would be a great alternative

[@cherylduncan5158]

The kids are so creative! I love their happy meal boxes!

[@Mona-b7q5e]

Mo is so cute!

[@melaniebrummett9926]

Love the Happy Meal Box's! So inventive.

[@JustMeeee2]

Happy Saturday! Thank you for the video!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️🙏👋Happy Saturday to you too!

[@christieostler]

Everything looks amazing! You all are so talented at EVERYTHING!!! ❤❤❤

[@BrittanyCole789]

You should try making an Amish Friendship bread starter since Naomi loves to bake so much! You can make breads and muffins with it.

[@leslieprebyl6238]

When you mentioned Coco's that brought me back. In the 80's we had a restaurant by that name. I remember their salad dressing and the hot biscuits with honey. I googled it and learned that it was a chain that started in California, so it is probably the same restaurant. We had two here in the Kansas City area at the time, but they are no longer around. My brother is the executive director of the local historical society here and he was able to give me the low down on the restaurant clear down to the unique architectural design of their buildings. Like always the food looks yummy.

[@oliviachen5419]

Watching from nyc as well. Love your family.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

🙏❤️

[@lindaang7814]

I feed my sd starter with bottle water. And change the bottle very often. Any question about sd u can ask me Amber. I bake sd loaf almost weekly 😅

[@user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie]

Such a pleasure to watch The Happy Caravan Family everyday... Your weekly food always looks so wholesome delicious and very nutritious... .. Elijah, 🤞 for the 7th March, but I think you definitely will be accepted, you play beautifully and so involved with your music you play, you feel it ... Were is your beautiful Pearl, miss seeing her beautiful face... Have you added a Chow Mein to your recipe, it goes along way , ground beef , cabbage, carrots , rice etc.. There are alot of different recipes about , have a look at them.. a joy to watch ..🙏❤

[@claudiarodgers7893]

Great video, as usual! That soup looks wonderful!!!!

[@victorian377]

I just found your channel. Love you all . 🥰❤️

[@dasilvadeb]

Lil Melody too sweet " "good night Mommy and Daddy" like I said before that's some darn good parenting of yours! Bravo 👏 👏 to you and MarkI think I had to tell my child "good night Julia" 15 times before that child would get in bed 😂 thank God she's grown now❤❤❤

[@victoriaduran3767]

Here in New Mexico, we eat Frito Pies, made with Fritos, red or green Chile sauce made from Chile powder, pinto beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Look it up with Josiah, it’s extremely similar to what he was eating! ❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Wow that sounds yummy!

[@annagarza7299]

Mo is so cute 🥰 and he got his COOKIE 🍪 your daughters made there own boxes I’m so impressed 👍 have you ever made CHICKEN MOLE it’s a SPANISH DISH and it’s good 👍….poor Mo fell off the chair 😔 the fall looked painful and he looked so sad 😭❤️

[@TheHappyCaravan]

We would love to try chicken mole. That’s a good idea!

[@NikkiPumpkin31]

Praying for Elijah on March 7th 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵

[@missamymaria]

oh my, netta ❤❤❤ such a gift.

[@kimkerley4218]

The pieces of music sounds nice. You’re getting better and better at videography 😊❤

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I use tamale pizza dough in the bread maker. I never could tel the difference when I got it out and rolled out and baked. Easy, inexpensive, no kneading and letting rise. Does it all for you. Might be something to think about. I use to use my bread maker all the time. Made the house smell so good without the work. You can also take the dough out and make cinnamon rolls, etc it’s endless. I was always using it and didn’t have a big family, I’d give away things. Just a bag of flour and yeast. Goes a long way.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Very cute happy new boxes! Great idea! Much more fun than the original.

[@MISTAKEWASMADE4live]

Melody as always being the highlight of the video 😄

[@DJ-os5ih]

I’m actually hopefully going to be going on a mission trip to Romania this summer. Maybe I’ll get to try some Romanian chicken soup there.

[@Mona-b7q5e]

My mom used frozen bread dough...thawed of course for pizza dough.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

That’s a good idea!

[@tangodaze]

@@TheHappyCaravan could you share the recipe for the lentils and rice? Thank you! ❤

[@CodeDeb]

Have you tried the Trader Joes fresh pizza crust? I think it’s really good and fun to make. Works best if you cook at highest temp your oven can do (mine is 525 or 550) and pre-cook crust for five mins Along with the mozzarella TJ makes a seasoned shredded cheese you can use on pizzas and it is great! Just sprinkle A LITTLE on top of the mozzarella on the UNCOOKED pizza Where did you get your pizza stones? I’m looking to get one myself

[@sallyhostetter2820]

Shoo fly pie is great. I live in Lancaster, PA and grew up eating it. Yum. The Minestrone soup looked great.

[@foreverlovemountainhomeste5657]

Have you ever bought in bulk, like Azure Standard? You might look into them for organic and bulk buying.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! I’m trying to find an Azure standard drop off close by!

[@sarahcallow2337]

Your food always looks amazing! Would love the recipe for beef,potatoes, mushroom soup, cheese casserole. ❤

[@SnežanaKuvekalović]

You are lucky woman 🎉

[@SAPlaysRoblox]

Yummy soup and dinner awesome and yummy video lots of hugs to you all sweet dearest friends The Happy Caravan 😊❤

[@stephaniehorner3790]

You guys should try the smitten kitchen no knead pizza dough. You just mix yeast/ water/ salt/ flour the night before/ morning of and then leave it till you need it. You can get a really good finish on pizzas by cooking the dough on the stovetop in a really hot pan then finishing under the grill. If you look at Pizza Pilgrims home cooking instructions it explains it well 😊

[@itfitzme59]

I really enjoy your family

[@lisalandry4879]

Tell Naomi that a pizza cutter works well to cut pasta if you don’t have a pasta cutter/machine.I think the Kitchenaide mixer has an attachment to make pasta as well.

[@madalina088]

Love the romanian mention everytime😂❤🇷🇴

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@barbaraschultz4130]

Neta looks so much like sweet Melody!

[@charleigh3275]

New subscriber. Love your videos! Where do buy the Vegeta Naurta? Do you ever put beans in your Minestrone soup? The Romanian Chicken soup looks divine! All of the meals made look scrumptious! Thanks for sharing home made meals for a large family! God bless.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you! We don’t put beans in our minestrone but I’ve had other recipes with beans and it’s really good!

[@zefcha4670]

do the kids decide the music for juliard auditions or is the music selected for them to audition?

[@staciegreen9950]

I love leeks in a soup. I think they elevate the flavor

[@TW-kx6dl]

Baby is getting big she is beautiful

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Very healthy!Moe is absolutely adorable! He’s such a little man!!😮❤ the jewelry is beautiful! Remember that at Christmas time for all my grandchildren! Yeah, there’s collagen underneath that scan. I would fry that skin up and eat it crispy. Your one daughter is going to turn out to be quite a cook. I bet and she’s gonna come in handy. If things get scarce in the store with the things that she’s learning, she can learn how to make your own pasta, her own cookies, and so forth she’s going to be a big help. Romanian souplooks delicious. Y’all can plant potatoes out in your backyard, as well as herbs and some tomatoes and bell peppers and lettuce and so forth. Netta looks like her baby brother. The noodles look wonderful. Omg!! Pizzas Look wonderful! what they charge for pizza is ridiculous!! Yes Mark is a great chef.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️🙏

[@cherienaera3751]

Your cooking is superb. X

[@e.cahill9594]

The minestrone soup looks delicious as all your food looks! I know you have made this before on the channel. Would you be able to post a close up look at the recipe?

[@daveshoemaker7137]

Shy fly pie is easy to make! They are the best when they have a lot of goo on the bottom!

[@natalimicic5052]

I’m happy to see you like vegeta, that’s a product from my country Croatia. If you want to pronounce it like we say it in Croatian, use pronunciation of letter g from Glasses. VeGeta. I don’t know how to explain it differently 😂 Have a great day 🤗
