TESTING TASTY BUZZFEED: Muffin Recipes vs. RachhLoves BEST EVER!

[@melissamillien7591]

I remember those days when Christopher would just appear, and just take the food. I like that he now sits with her, and have simple conversations.

[@zoeymcilwain3499]

Melissa Millien yeah they talk like we don’t exist but again still including us if that makes sense

[@RobinOrzo]

I know, I love their dynamic

[@KateandBabes]

Chris is a nice boy

[@jordanspell4103]

"we're in a quarantine, not pioneer times" omg PLEASE put that on a t-shirt! 😂 Chris's comments are always so good!

[@My.Curiosities]

I want all the merch with that sentence on it.

[@ItsJustLisa]

Mood.

[@Mks71999]

Idea: try your pregnancy cravings and see if you still like them or find them odd. (Of course if you still have the ingredients at home, no need to leave the house if you don't)

[@eden-zo1tw]

Great idea!

[@emilyneal92]

Oooh!

[@mimarimani]

I'd love to know how your kids respond to the pregnancy cravings you had, while carrying them...

[@vrotki]

I always love when my grandma gives us a recipe. "A little bit of this, a little bit of that. You will know" No, I won't! That's why I ask you! :D

[@kaycrewe1148]

vrotki my grandma says the same thing. “How much sugar, Grandma?” “Until it looks right.” Gee, thanks.

[@katesclabassi3857]

My mom does this to me too...just add until it looks right then she comes over and raises her eyebrow and goes "that little"

[@slightly_sour4390]

I was going through the recipes my grandma had written down and the measurements are like a lot of flour, around a handful of sugar, pinch of baking powder. I have no idea what any of it means but I'm still gonna try!

[@rookieisabelle8384]

But honestly, I was trained as a chef in Japan and my trainer was like "until it feels right" dude, that's not how it works! - well, it did work, but that was always so nerve wrecking 'D

[@amelietessier8631]

I have a recipe from my grandma that says “add flour until sticky”. The dough is already sticky the flour should make it less sticky.

[@leopfleger1]

Rachel: says muffins have to go into the fridge so the ganache can set. Also Rachel: puts muffins into the oven to warm up, thereby melting the ganache. xD Absolutely loved the video. Thank you for providing a little bit of a distraction from what's going on in the world! :)

[@gigifernandez692]

Lisa P that’s because if she didn’t the ganache would ether absorb into the muffin or drip every where she had to warm so it wasn’t hard!

[@edwardcullenLOVE92]

" *this is the secondmost dough you've dropped on the ground in a baking video* " Leave it to Chris to never let us forget that fateful cookie cake day 🤣🤣🍪

[@dannieboo209]

He's the cutest husband ever! So need to see more "Cooking with Chris" 😁 especially if it's bread and baking!!! 💕

[@cayla6742]

Editing Rachel has the kind of energy the world needs nowadays. I love your cooking videos!!! I would be happy just to watch you and Christopher vlog your dinners!!!

[@calimali10]

Finnish American here (born in Finland, raised in the US but go back every other year!) No worries, cucumbers in Finland are definitely not $9 anymore! Did Chris grow up eating any Finnish baked goods (korvapuusti, karjalanpiirakat)? If not, he should try making some! :)

[@bernadettepospeck2106]

calimali10 I live in a VERY Finnish part of Minnesota. I agree they should try making some Finnish baked goods. I’m partial to kropsu. I made it for a friend who grew up and lives in Finland and she said it was better than her mom’s! It is a huge hit at my house. We love kropsu plain or with jam or maple syrup.

[@sarabaumgartner6857]

As someone living in Finland right now I'd LOVE to see him make some korvapuusti

[@MrsHellraizer]

I want to know the whole story. There's a lot of half-stories on this channel

[@Kyeta96]

I too have Finnish roots. The only baked good I have from there is called Nissu /Nissua. Id be willing to share the recipe if Chris wants to try it. -- side note, I also want to make a sourdough starter while on I'm staying home.

[@saikyouiku]

@@Kyeta96 I was so confused because I have never heard of nissua/nissu! But apparently it's because here in Finland we just call that nisu, or pulla

[@kevinrosesebert]

I feel like this whole quarantine thing is like everyone is making a whole new list of New Years resolutions

[@glenda2629]

And if we didnt have one, we have one now!!

[@leenatoivanen3787]

I never knew Christopher has roots in finland and I've been following u for looong time! 🤩🇫🇮 our produce prices are definitely better now 😁 finnish cucumber is everywhere and its reasonable price, I think like US 😁 so is everything else other than really exotic stuff like dragon fruit or something 😁 and here was my PSA of produce in finland 😂

[@MarbleLily]

Oh hey, a fellow Finn who watches Rachel! Hi! :D Basic vegetables are definitely affordable (organic produce is a bit more expensive). The overall cost of living is more expensive in Finland, but I found a chart from My Life Elsewhere that says Canadians need to pay 15% more for groceries than Finns.

[@svndruv]

I didn't know either, but it kinda makes sense now that you think about it. Some Finnish vibes coming through😂🇫🇮

[@Kaaaytay]

Hi neighour😂 i was also shocked, i live in sweden🇸🇪

[@Adurodiel]

Hey fellow Finns! Nice to meet you guys. Didn't know either he has roots here lol.

[@missgeschick6317]

I am from Germany but I lived in Helsinki for half a year, and in comparison the Finnish prices are definitely higher

[@Cassmede]

This whole isolation and self distancing is definitely hard. I'm not isolated as my job doing taxes is still open but we are no longer sitting with clients and keeping our distance with everyone. So strange to wash every surface and such after every single person that walks in the door. I wish I could isolate. But you guys are awesome doing your part and staying home to protect yourselves and your loved ones. Stay safe and enjoy the extra family time you guys now have on your hands 🇨🇦

[@austinadkins198921]

That “this is how we beat the system” was totally a “I NEED HUMAN INTERACTION SAVE ME... IM BLINKING SEE IM BLINKING!!! YOU DIDNT TELL ME TO BLINK OF I NEDED SAVING BUT SAVE ME!!!”

[@Melanie91192]

Idea!!! Why don't you enter a bunch of ingredients into a random picker and let it choose like 3 ingredients and try to make a recipe using those ingredients

[@kazbutler]

Melanie91192 fun idea!

[@melissas.6582]

Rachel: I LOVE lemonade!!! Anything lemon. Rachel: I don't like sourdough. It's sour. Me: 🤯 👀 👀

[@jaimelyn7175]

It’s a different kind of sour!

[@undaunted7]

honestly same...lemon is refreshing even though it's sour but sourdough taste like spit up sour...it's different

[@jasminbar5617]

Probably because lemonade is very very sweet in North America

[@hannerhead]

Gluten Free foods would be amazing! Especially like trying recipes but with GF flour substitutes.

[@syedaamrinfatema6332]

I really love the happy and chirpy Rach! Kudos for the positive vibes and aura! Really brightens my self isolation period here in Bangladesh... lots of love to you and your family ❤️

[@pumpkinscorner394]

You should do a chopped challenge with your husband! Gather the same ingredients and you each make a dish and you can have a vote on Instagram to determine the winner! You could also have your two older children be the judges.

[@DelianneM]

Rachel, you are so incredibly likable, I would watch absolutely anything you film. If you want to cook, or just read cookbooks out loud and comment on them, I'd be entertained. For those of us stuck at home, not able to see our friends and families, you make me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend, and I smile the whole time I'm watching your videos.

[@victoriastargle2929]

Okay that’s roughly 6.50USD per pound. I pay less than that for ORGANIC cucumbers in the states 😳

[@winabagel2959]

Hi Rachel! A thought about why these muffins turned out better (though I'm sure the oil helped too): muffins should typically be stirred as LITTLE as possible when you bring the wet and dry mixtures together to prevent gluten formation. If before you finished the batter in the stand mixer and this time mixed by hand, that can make a HUGE difference in the texture. Happy baking and thanks for all the fun content!

[@henrydrakeselftape]

[@jolenewells2878]

Just a tip, when it comes to chocolate ganache after its all combined it solidifies. So after you mix you let it cool and stir occasionally, doing that will help it thicken and get to a nice consistency. It’s also important that your cream is super hot when you put the chocolate in. Sometimes I put it in the fridge when I’m impatient, it speeds the process up a little. Love you Rach, and I hope this helps you next time!
