Fantastic meals, especially the lasagna and Jake's pizzas! Yummy! For the Q and A, how about - "What TV family (current or past) or cartoon family reminds you both the most of your family?"

[@Victoria_Foulger]

That's a brilliant one 😂

[@joanmckee3906]

Holy mackerel! You've gone posh on me with plaited pastry! Great tip for easy cutting skin off butternut s. Will defo make that lasagne. I make quick cheap pizzas with pittas. Tomato puree oregano and whatever you fancy in oven 200 for about 10 mins. 6 pittas v cheap in Lidl or Tesco. Well done Jake. Jx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

We love pitta pizza too, ultimate lazy food 👍

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I'd forgotten how much I love butternut squash and it's much healthier too! Hope you are coping as well as possible 💗

[@tamist5079]

Had it for dinner, was so good I had seconds. Thanks

[@stephaniemoss6823]

Yum yum hun I'm definitely going have a go withe Mexican chilli pasta dish and the butternut squash lasagne they loomed amazing, I don't like creamy dishes at all and tho they have soft cream and cheese triangles in they don't look really really creamy so I'm looking forward to trying them thank you hun . X

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Yes, I would say they don't taste very creamy 👍

[@maryraybon2305]

Those meals looked amazing! I would love it if you would share your recipe for the banana muffins that you made, they looked so yummy :) Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@abigailwalley7148]

Absolutely gorgeous meals, they all look soooo delicious! Definitely going to try the butternut squash lasagne! 😍 Hope you're all okay and staying safe 😘 x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

We are all ok thank you, hope you and your family are well too 💗

[@WOAHtheyNICE]

If both of you were on death row and you had to choose your last meals starter main and pud) what would they be!?

[@sarahleigh9075]

Thanks for another great video. I love to watch them and your fab meal ideas. Can I ask how long you cooked the banana bread for when in slow cooker, did you use a tea towel under the lid? Cant remember which video it was in. I love to watch what I eat in a day videos, with all the yummy food you eat as a family this would be great coming from you. Can I ask who else you watch on you tube for meal inspiration? Definitely going to try the lasagne. Looked delish 😋 Cant wait for your next meal video. Thank you for sharing xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I cooked it on high for 2 hours 30 minutes and I didn't put a tea towel under the lid. Hope this helps 💗

[@michaeldixon8838]

I chop the squash into rounds about and inch thick from top to bottom and then peel each round with a smaller knife and it’s so much easier! X

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@patsyhay9592]

If you brush the sausage roll with melted butter it will give a lovely golden tasty crust xxx

[@allenbrown8158]

you could put the spinach in a colander and squeeze the water out with a saucer or a wooded spoon

[@nataliekerr1136]

Hey lovely this is how I make mine lol minus the chutney because I’m a fussy bum.... what I will say is if you add just one egg to the sausage mixture it gives the sausage rolls a slightly lighter texture but doesn’t take away from the flavour 😊 x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thanks, I'll try that next time 👍

[@jamesmarriott3667]

Hi Vicky , thank you for another great video , when we have pasta bake we put Rainbow mash on top with Cheese , my question is how did you learn to cook , stay safe and take care from Jackie and James 👍👍👍

[@Victoria_Foulger]

You put mash on top of pasta or instead? I'm intrigued now 😂

[@fionamasson9629]

Haha ur so like me, I never have the patience to wait for things cooling down 🙈...what’s in ur advacado salad that u make ...I love salads like that so always looking new ones. I alway watch ur meal ideas of week when I’m having my dinner so I don’t get hungry lol ...thanks for sharing again xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Lol that's a good tip, I'm always hungry watching these kind of videos 😂 we use avocado, red pepper, spring onions, fresh chilli and coriander and loads of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. We are honestly obsessed with it 🙈

[@candicedoble9032]

Lovely video the pork looked amazing and the salmon yummy my question is what do you and steve plan on doing once the boys have grown up is there any travel adventures etc that u would thinking about doing take care xxx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Great question 👍

[@rahih5819]

Hey Vicki, would love to find out abit about your youtube journey. How long have you been doing youtube? Is it your job? Would you recommend it? What does your family think about being filmed? Love your videos x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Brilliant questions, thank you 👍

[@traceyoneill8627]

Sausage plait, butternut squash lasagne and the pizza looked amazing.. will definitely try the lasagne . Where did you get the wee meatballs for the pizza?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

They were from muscle foods 🙂

[@debiterry1940]

Love your channel and recipes. What kind of dough was that and also what kind of chutney was that. I think I would love that sausage rolls recipe. I love left over turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwiches. If you have left over mashed potatoes and gravy, that can also go on the sandwich. Mmmm good.

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Love turkey and cranberry sandwiches 😍 the pizza dough was a dry mix from Tesco and the caramelized onion chutney was from lidl 💗

[@KristinsCardsandCreations]

Great ideas as usual ! Have you ever thought of starting a blog? I would love to be able to have a picture and recipe together to pin to Pinterest :).

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I have thought about it as I love writing, I don't know if I'd have the time though 🤔

[@francisraffle2948]

Lovely meals I liked the sausage stuffing plait have you ever boiled chicken breast .I do they are so tasty I did for the first time about a month ago for chicken curry and Sunday and used the water they boiled in for gravy love Fran st Helens xxx y

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Never tried that! Sounds good 👍

[@francisraffle2948]

@@Victoria_Foulger if you are going to boil your chicken breast and are making heavy out of the water they cook un strain the water first cos you get bits in the water lkve fran st Helen's xxx

Hi Kate, the opening credits are all taken from their Disney vlogs from last summer which are available to watch on the channel

[@heathermayfield4247]

I am trying to lose weight whilst in lockdown (much needed) I would kill for Jake's pizza!

[@Victoria_Foulger]

It's not the easiest time for that is it? Good luck and well done for trying! We are trying to eat a little healthier so hopefully the next few weeks will have some meals you can adapt 💗

[@Rachel-iv8gq]

Hi Vicki.....i have two questions haha. 1.....I love your vlogs and I find your meal ideas really inspirational.. Where did you learn to cook? 2.....joint question what is each others most annoying habbits xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Thanks, great questions 👍

[@karencrookedfingerscraft3408]

Vicky, if you had a chance to try out for a Home Cook contest cooking tv show, i.e. Master Chef would you? For both you and Steve, if Steve had a job opportunity to work outside of the U.K. for a short period of time, yet long enough that it made sense for the family to relocate. Where would you like to relocate?

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Ooh I like those questions!

[@karencrookedfingerscraft3408]

@@Victoria_Foulger Can't wait to hear your and Steve's answers! We would call those "higher thinking" questions in education. 😁

Great idea I'd definitely buy one

[@nataliesmith2458]

Beckiiee fab idea !!

HI Vicki! 2 questions :-) Q1: I know you like USA, but if you could choose any other holiday country where would you go? Q2: what would be your most favorite meal EVER? Greetings from Holland x

[@Victoria_Foulger]

Great questions 👍

[@fionnmaccumhaillsmammy296]

The pork looked amazing what temp did you cook it at? I can never get it crispy on the top

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I started it high at around 240° for 30 minutes then covered it in foil and cooked it low for 3 hours (about 130°) I removed the crackling and put it back in with the roast potatoes for around 40 minutes to get it extra crispy 👍

[@fionnmaccumhaillsmammy296]

The Foulger Family Thank you, that’s my mistake I cook it on low first then just a short time on a high temp

[@ellieclemson6935]

Hi Vicky, do you think it would work just as well using frozen butternut? Xx

[@Victoria_Foulger]

I think that would be fine as long as you roasted it first to get rid of any excess liquid xx

[@sarahgriffin225]

If you could own a holiday home anywhere in the U.K. Where would it be and why? X

[@michellechurch478]

Another fab video! Xx Questions- If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be? Which Disney characters are you most like?
