About the Holderness Family The Holderness Family creates original music, parodies, and Vlogs for KZbin to poke fun of themselves and celebrate the absurdity in circumstances most families face in their day to day life. They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie). Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles publish Vlogs and other nonsense to this channel as often as they can while remaining sane. Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments.

Oh, thank you for not cutting the scene where you struggled with the food processor lid! I’ve had mine for twenty years and still do that!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

The struggle is real

[@lindawolski3173]

Hey Kim! You should publish a healthy-ish cookbook with all of you recipes! 😃

[@laurastarbrook1308]

We need more of these videos. Love watching these💕

[@sharontiano1348]

I never thought of corn starch on the fries.. good tip

[@SimplyOrganizedLLCMadison]

Thanks, Kim. Keep making these fun and interesting videos, please. I love how you don't bother to peel the potatoes. I have to try the corn starch because mine are very soggy. I use the same recipe for popcorn, -but add nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste. That's a slick machine though.

[@twflash1]

This is my new favorite KZbin channel. PLEASE do more cooking!!

[@srosquist]

I just discovered these recipes and love them! I tried making the peanut butter cups using a silicon mini muffin pan for smaller serving sizes and they popped right out after freezing. 😋

[@JoyPeters-lc8yv]

For banana lovers: Frozen sliced (very ripened) bananas with a tablespoon of liquid (milk, cream, coconut water, bourbon, whatever). Blend in the food processor until it gets the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Add whatever you like, cocoa powder, cacao nibs, berries, spices (cinnamon and nutmeg go well). The possibilities are endless. But I highly recommend the bourbon and nutmeg. :D It makes a great "ice cream" treat without all the sugar and dairy.

[@lauravietmeier7427]

Think it's time to try!! Make popcorn on the stove so unsure how that would work!! Yes inspector Gadget, but he does refer to many things with, " Go Go Gadget arm"!!!! So not off to far!!

[@salsasoso6442]

THANK YOU SO MUCH KIM! i tried this recipe with almond butter instead of peanut butter and it turned our delicious! thank you for giving me this deliciously healthy recipies!

[@VRumbera]

Just started making snack bites in food processor. Found fabulous one that everyone in family loved: dates, unsweetened coconut, coconut oil, almond butter and cocoa nibs. Soooo yummy! I’m going to have to try those chocolate peanut butter ones though!

[@april.d.w]

Oh those chocolate cups and fries look delicious! I'm definitely going to try making the cups.

[@einbisschenjen]

The snacks look really good, but I spent the whole video wondering how you kept from getting chocolate on your pretty white blouse! I cook all the time, but I have to wear a big ole apron because I often manage to splatter chocolate or tomato sauce or something all over myself.

[@blue.jaydelyn]

I understand you. I love to paint and I can't even tell you how many clothes I've ruined trying to paint without ruining my clothes. 😂🤣

[@maryroberts589]

I was thinking the same thing! I also have to remove my rings and watch when cooking & crafting (which Kim never does) or clean-up would be twice the nightmare for me. 😉

[@heatherwylie4743]

Excuse me while I go make some peanut butter cups! I have a dead easy healthy-ish treat that sounds weird but is so good. A pitted date with a smear of peanut butter, it’s so good!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Yuuuuummmmm

[@lyndaschneider1963]

Anything dark chocolate, the darker the better. Chocolate is life!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Agreed

[@blue.jaydelyn]

YES. VERY MUCH AGREED. I actually have a simple recipe for a strawberry cream paleta (popsicle) and the ingredients include strawberries, honey, salt, and lemon juice. They are now my favorite popsicle recipe. I also discovered a cookbook with a really simple lasagne and I made it. It was really delicious and was very easy. I'm excited to discover more happy and healthy ish treats and maybe I'll share them in the comments! Also as a suggestion for the holderness channel, if you're running out of songs to make parodies of, maybe start doing some challenges and blogs, maybe even not related to the quarintine. 😄

[@leahsiemens1424]

Loved the behind the scenes :-D hahaha! I ALWAYS make your choc/PB date balls... SO yummy!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

So happy you like them!

[@leahsiemens1424]

@@HappyandHealthyish wrong word... I LOOOOVVVEEEE them! :-D

[@jdunwoody5653]

Thank you for these "healthyish" snacks. I recently made the chocolate peanut butter cups. I did not have pure maple syrup so used Agave syrup, and they are delicious!!!! I imagine these would be delicious with almond butter too.

[@melanielitz1619]

I'm pretty sure you should make your own cook book

[@HappyandHealthyish]

That’s a dream!

[@melanielitz1619]

@@HappyandHealthyish you should definitely try it and your cook book could be called HappyandHealthyish

[@blue.jaydelyn]

Ooh, yeah you should do that happy and healthy ish!

[@tiffanybittman7523]

I will need to try these. I like the ish parts. And melty parts.

[@jenlhandy]

The avocado mousse is an amazing thing. I've been eating that for a few years now. (Only it's called Chocomole!) I have used maple syrup but I also use dates.

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Much better name!

[@UserHunca]

We just buy these at Trader Joe’s or Aldi (dark chocolate pb cups). Chocolate hummus is good. Healthy snacks are readily available @ Trader Joe’s, Aldi & Costco. I would never go to this much work.

[@rubyhill9904]

Love your videos kim!!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Thank you so much!

[@blue.jaydelyn]

I've actually watched your videos after waking up in the middle of the night for no reason or maybe a nightmare and I watch funny videos to calm myself down and sleep again. Usually holderness and happy and healthy ish are the first channels I search for. You're videos are amazing! Thanks for making them.

[@robertmartinez5972]

looks very good !

[@kirstenharrison8164]

I’m excited to try these recipes! Thanks for sharing!

[@kirstenharrison8164]

Ps, behind the scenes! 🤣🤣🤣

[@arielleaileen3359]

Omg I just tried your recipe for Reese's cups 2.0 but used Peanut Butter & Co's white chocolatey wonderful flavored PB and I am not going to come out of quarantine the same

[@kerriemiller6757]

The peanut butter cups remind me of an oatmeal no bake cookie my mom used to make. I bet a little quick oats and coconut oil would replicate those nostalgic cookies nicely.

[@danicandy4ever]

I will try this

[@yondre55]

Next up? The Food Network presents "Kim cooks and Penn eats and judges" LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Mother's Day!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

I expect the call from them any day!

[@susanlawson4906]

I love how your snacks are healthy! It all looks so good

[@tfam1536]

black brownies beans!!!

[@caraszczepanik]

Fantastic video!! Can't wait to try these recipes!!

[@thecraftersplayce6924]

I want that popcorn maker! But not sure what to search for??? 🤷

[@brokensunnier4098]

Any other recipes this simple that dont have chocolate or avocados in them? Im allergic to both! I love your easy to watch videos.... all of the channels are fun to watch as well

[@maryroberts589]

My husband goes into my/our KZbin account and questions why I am subscribed to The H Fam 3 times! Hahaha. Love them (especially in quarantine!)

[@07biggiofan]

Love your recipes! I think it would be tasty to add some peanut butter to the mousse. Happy Mother's Day Kim!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Yuuum

[@heatherhopfinger3942]

I love that idea better than having hard peanut butter in the middle truth

[@chloer.6495]

The avocado mousse tastes like chocolate frosting. It's unreal. 😍 I've had a similar recipe. I can't bake around my husband either cuz he does the same stuff 🤣

[@lisawillett7410]

Made the peanut butter cups and OMG!!!! They are amaaaazing esp with the pinch of sea salt at the end. Lol

[@Kayzan1234]

Love the videos and going to make these peanut butter cups tonight! FYI-The linked recipes start a recipe for the mousse but it changes to sweet potato fries somewhere in the ingredients.

[@DMDeVille]

Hi Kim! I love you earrings! Who makes them? TY! 💕😘

[@katievogel5221]

The fries look soooooo good!!!!!!

[@sandrainontario6710]

PC is getting better looking every day which is kind of scary 😂

[@cocowilson8296]

I am gonna have to try the chocolate avocado mousse.

[@melindabanning7707]

Lol, they look yummy. I have been making popcorn with coconut oil for a long time.

[@exinilda]

Try an air fryer Kim! Best frys ever and no oil! ❤️

[@lindaberg4777]

I like powdered swerve instead of maple syrup.

[@rachelowens5159]

Please make some more videos.

[@robertmartinez5972]

i love your dress it is very pretty

[@handlingthehowards9543]

When tried the chocolate peanut cups my chocolate turned into some kind of fudge any advice I followed the recipe exactly.

[@rosebunny2010]

Do you think you could use PB powder for the Chocolate PB cups? Really enjoying your channel!

[@amandaadams2151]

Try your popcorn with nutritional yeast on it. It. Will. Change. Your. Life!

[@HappyandHealthyish]

I will - thanks!

[@lindamire1201]

Might want to rebrand and use something besides Healthyish. There is a popular cookbook out right now by Lindsay Hunt titled Healthyish. Nice vlog though. Enjoyed it.

[@HappyandHealthyish]

Haven't seen that! Will check it out. We are "happy & healthy-ish" so hopefully there's no confusion.

[@lindamire1201]

@@HappyandHealthyish I have recently been cooking out of that cookbook so it might be why I thought the two were connected. I didn't really remember the cookbook author's name at the time I saw your vlog.

[@kristymcnamara9251]

More recipes please?

[@jaclynreifsnyder3749]

Made the peanut butter cups! So yummy! My chocolate did get super thick, is that right?

[@lisawillett7410]

Mine did too while trying to fill the cups. LOL Perfectly normal, and my house is usually cooler. As long as you could fill the cups it was fine :-) Mine were so good. I love this new recipe.
