What I Eat In A Day: HOLIDAY EDITION 🎅🏿🎄(Kenyan food, decorating Christmas cookies) |

[@Evelynfromtheinternets]

I'm just tryna deck the halls y'all! How did I do? Thanks for watching these What I Eat In A Days - it sucks cuz i truly am HANGRY when i'm filming 😂 but other than that I've enjoyed making these videos. I decided not to renew my HelloFresh contract in 2021, so this is the last What I Eat In A Day vid on this channel for the foreseeable future! Maybe now I'll upload to my Smack Yo Lip channel...🤔🤔🤔

[@graceunhaean]

Thank you for this series! It was a great run 🥺🧡 excited for your Smack Yo Lip channel ✊🏼😤✨

[@Passion84GodAlways]

@@graceunhaean I second that! 😁👍🏾👌🏾

[@Yardee4life]

Over here messing up making my own food watching you make yours. LOL And yay to Smack Yo Lip getting some love. Just subscribed! Christmas season in the Caribbean means making Jamaican black cake...and harassing friends to make me coquito. Biting the bullet and mixing my own batch this weekend.

[@late-start-vlogs]

I bake a lot and here's my pro tip: flour your rolling pin so it doesnt stick to the cookie dough. my grandma taught me that. I love your videos Evelyn, you have this fun and creative aproach to making videos that makes me laugh and also think.

[@olly2027]

Yes please do smack your lips.

[@MEGAoneARMEDbandit]

The rewatchability value of Evelyn's food videos is just * chefs kiss *

[@Chen-my1ks]

AGREED!

I'm planning to watch this (again) even closer to Christmas

[@Natnat994]

Glad to know i'm not alone in this!

[@ohaiitsurrn8922]

I was scared for a moment that you werent gonna add toppings to yout oatmeal. And then I said to myself, "Don't worry. You know she eats right."

[@kudzi_c]

The weirdest thing about this year is how consistent you've been. I appreciate it because you held me down when others couldn't 😭💕💕

[@GiadaGD]

Evelyn I cooked the Kenyan food you made here for my family and they loved it. I'm sure my attempt wasn't a perfect recreation but it was really fun trying to make something new, and it made my parents want to try more Kenyan dishes! Thank you for sharing these recipes with us :-)

[@DreaRoses]

Evelyn killed me with “me I only eat basmati rice” LMFAOOOOOO I need a cooking show from you ! Please I need it!

[@abbieamavi]

*I like to think I’m an oatmeal veteran, a sad but loyal conscious consumer lmao, I’ve been eating it my whole life. And that oatmeal looked like the best I’ve ever seen, you win. Evelyn, you’ve won.*

[@brookesmith6998]

Thanksgiving was weird this year. I've been quarantined with my family and we've been cheffing it up so the holiday lost some of it's usual novelty 😂 My mom went ham and made a giant pan of lasagna a week and a half before Thanksgiving so our lactose intolerant selves all agreed that we didn't even need mac n cheese. That's unheard of in these parts lol. We didn't even do turkey. We had cornish hens and a lot of veggie sides like parmesan and mustard crusted cauliflower, collard greens, and sweet potatoes. Your beef, pilau and sukumawiki looked so good!

[@Evelynfromtheinternets]

so glad you got to spend time with your family and could still enjoy each other's company!

[@smithdb08]

I see that Target "E" stocking. Got my green "D" stocking last weekend!

[@charliclonan4837]

We got pecan pie pound cake and caramel-gingerbread cookies gonna be made at my house!! When I tell you I have been W A I T I N G for this moment

[@owlislike]

Stove Top Oatmeal Tips: 1. Follow the directions but put about 1/4 cup more liquid in. Put the oats, water, salt, in a pot, give it a swish, cover it, and put on medium ( no higher than 5) for 10-14 minutes . It will be creamy and cooked through with out stirring 2. Replace half the liquid with full fat coconut milk. Add raisins, cinnamon, nuts, and maple syrup. *chef kiss noises*

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

Ooooo, yum yum! That dinner looks amazing. I'm gonna make this next week. "One tantrum later..." Lol

[@ChurchOfCiiku]

The fact that I, a Kenyan, in Kenya, used that same brand of ginger garlic paste tonight as I made dinner makes me feel more like an internet cousin than I ever have. ❤️ Also that you have Tropikal Heat spices and Royco!!!! is just.....

[@MayoJenn27]

These videos have kept sane. They've also inspired me to not be so afraid of effing things up in the kitchen. You make taking care of yourself look fun! 😄

[@sandrass560]

Evelyn, Habari yako? Asante sana for this video. Thank you for cooking so well and for making us so happy with the ideas for lunch in the holidays. And the cookies! EY, glad to see that Royco is irreplaceable anywhere you go. Even here in S.A, I have to send people to East Africa to get some for us. Many hugs and blessings from your cousins in South Africa.

“ what’s winter?” Wow I feel like us New Yorkers are just now getting over it smh I’m moving to Texas with the rest of my fellow Nigerian brothers and sisters

lol @ "I'm finna deck the halls". That's exactly how I feel over blasting christmas carols and enjoying holiday treats ❤

[@SachaDoesPortuguese]

it is just so refreshing to finally hear someone pronounce turmeric the right way aka not saying tumor-ic

[@modestysnooze6154]

I'm in the UK so my Christmas pudding is made: this is a torturous experience where you make the mixture, in my case almost forget to add flour, leave it overnight, then boil it for 8 hours, so you have to remember to top up the pan with water, or it boils dry and your basin melts. Which didn't happen to me this year so I guess I win? Then we have to cook it for 2 hours on Christmas Day and set fire to it before we figure out if its edible. At which point my kids will hate it anyway even if it has turned out good! Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without it.

[@brendadenda9138]

I like my oatmeal dry! And I only like oatmeal (steel-cut) that I cook myself. Soupy oatmeal makes me feel sick just looking at it.

[@ericam.8433]

I love these what I eat in a day videos to an unreasonable extent. Thank you! And I never thought of putting so much care into my oatmeal, thank you for that.

[@loverofmysoul8742]

Those are the tenderest, freshest, cleanest collard greens I have ever seen. Makes you want to eat greens - period. Reminds me I haven't made collard wraps in a while.

[@aminata21]

I watch nearly all of my youtube videos (98% basically) on 1.5-2x speed because I honestly cant deal with how slow regular speed is sometimes. BUT i alwayssss watch Evelyn's on regular speed. So well done each time I feel like I gotta savor it lol

[@christinelamb1167]

This is my first video of Evelyn's, and I will definitely be back! She is so fun, and had me smiling and laughing the whole time! 😂

ughhhh, that looked so good!! dem greens!!

Cook oatmeal in cold water only then after it's finished add yr milk to desired thickness+spices,sweetener, add ins. Treat it as "hot cereal"

[@alicianorman3184]

The sound of you cutting the greens gave me ASMR tingles!! ✨✨ I need a full video of just cooking sounds 😂😂

Evelyn is such a bundle of joy♥

[@blackgirlguidance7572]

I like thick oatmeal! Periodt! I enjoyed the last time you made it.

[@l3l3Cakes]

I cook the oats first in water until water is fully absorbed, then add spices and sugars, then add creamer to thicken and let simmer. Tastes so good and creamy 🤤

[@Fudgeey]

I was skeptical about the boiled beef at first, but by the end of the video I learned a new technique 😋 I would have never guessed stewing beef in water would make it tender.

Gurl that Kenyan dish was a real snack yo lip!

[@GhostsOfThings]

These videos never fail to cheer me up so thank you so much! I've not been down with cooking much lately BUT I did get my act together and make our traditional shortbread which we make straight on the countertop - no bowls or anything

[@sherrik2599]

Evelyn, you are so chill and down to earth and I love your cook w/me videos. Would you ever consider mukbang vids? More videos please!

[@kaelynmilligan6693]

you have to boil the oats with water first because oats absorb water better. Bring the water to a boil add oats and a little salt , then stir and let cook ,after oats are cooked you add your seasonings and stir it in and let the seasonings seep in (only for 1-2 mins). A lot of people use milk I recommend using a yogurt ( I use so so delicious unsweetened coconut yogurt but you can use the yogurt of your choice), this allows the oatmeal to stay creamy or you ca add an unripe banana to the oats.

[@MelissaThompson432]

I actually *felt* my mouth watering spontaneously at the image of the plate with greens and pilau on it.... I may have to do a little experimenting later....

[@issarve]

I can't even tell you how my soul lighted up when I saw that Royco… Mchuzi mix!!!
