WHAT WE EAT IN A WEEK (family of 4) - cook with me

[@lindalong8403]

Zander was just so cute doing the Green Chef. He did a great job!

[@tjbrat44]

That boy's eyes get me errrrry time!! ✨💙✨

[@cecwintonyk8228]

OMGoodness, Xander doing the little chef infomercial was fabulous. He was so clear and so confident and even if there were multiple takes, he did a wonderful job in the end. I love to cook and do cook outside the box so one of these services is not in my immediate future but I can see how handy they would be for people learning to expand their palettes, just learning to cook or even for people on their own. When you were making the stuffed shells, I knew immediately you were going to have trouble because you hadn't cooked them first but as you said "lesson learned" and it wasn't the end of the world. We all learn from our mistakes.

[@carolshafer4271]

He is such a smart kid! Can’t believe he knew all those lines!

[@thelmawall-butler6663]

Zander is SO precocious!!! He is going to do very very well as a student! What a blessing your children are!!! ❤❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you!

[@pama.6410]

Green Chef is going to want to buy that ad. Xander you were FANTASTIC!!! Best I've ever seen. Love seeing the recipes for the week! More of this please!!! Happy Birthday Xander! Do we get to see Xander's birthday interview?

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks! I wasn't planning on posting it. It was a bit more low key this time.

[@pama.6410]

@@theMennoniteMom You're allowed.

[@withluvdee1046]

Luv the outtakes. You’re family is adorable. 🥰🥰🥰. Zander as the green chef is too much. He did such a great job. Your videos are so entertaining. ~hugs~

[@ruthturkington1736]

Oh that is soooooo cute Zander being a green chef! Love your cooking videos! Alexi is a cutie pie!!

[@pattyburge655]

Zander did an awesome job on his acting debut!!😘🏆Many adults would be unable to recite so many lines, much less connect with the character the way that he did. Your recipes looked amazing. They actually do make no cook pasta. I've used the"no cook" lasagna noodles. They turned out just as good as the boil and use noodles. May you and your family have a great and blessed week ahead. 💞🙏

[@rk-solideogloria]

Love how you were feeding your soul (listening to Paul Washer preaching) while you were preparing physical food for your family! 🥰 Blessings! 💞

[@mariahknisley4916]

Oh my gosh The little green chef was hilarious!! He did an amazing job.Lexie is so funny.

[@terriclement5844]

I loved this video! As a fellow “don’t like to cook” girl, it was nice to get some ideas and to watch you have fun with your kiddos. Zander has quite the acting skills!

[@gailrhodes2859]

Loved Xander as the Chef! He did great on his memorization for the food!! I loved it!! The baby is getting so big and I can’t believe she has teeth!!! Love love that you are back!!

[@positiveblessingskarrie3194]

The thursday shell one got me laughing and yes you have to boil the shells first. The green chef part with your son was very cute. Had a great time watching this.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Lol. Blonde moment! 🤣

[@tracyparks5630]

Xander was amazing with the Green Chef! I hope you send that to Green Chef! Love watching you and your family. I'm glad you came back to your channel! Your family is amazing!

[@brendatrenhaile1085]

Zander did an amazing job with the Green Chef. Lots for a young boy to remember, with no slip ups at all. Way to go Zander😊

[@destinynolt6312]

I love how you take advertising for a company to a whole new level and put extra time and effort into it! Also, glad to know I’m not the only Mennonite mom who doesn’t enjoy cooking….😮

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅 thank you! It was fun. Glad I'm not alone in the cooking department

[@mikec7160]

Xander is soooooo cute at acting he should be so proud of himself we loved it and thank you foe taking us to church...loved the ending you are so funny I am so glad you stayed with KZbin thanks for the giggle

[@letthewordspeakministries888]

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww thanks! We had fun with it!

[@LindaAndrews128]

EXCELLENT performance by Zander! I could see that he loved doing his segment. SO GOOD.

[@dianalama1591]

My goodness, Zander did such a great job introducing the Green Chef!!!

[@lindagailsch]

Xander did an amazing job with the Green Chef ad. Enjoyed seeing your meals.

[@tracywhite1694]

Zander is so cute! I love the way you present your video sponsor.

[@theMennoniteMom]

[@letthewordspeakministries888]

[@theMennoniteMom]

[@rahc1819]

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks! Yes, she is the most active child I have ever seen. There is rarely a still moment when she's awake

[@lindahill9362]

Once again I am sitting here like a fool, smiling from ear to ear, staring at the computer screen. Jeanine, your videos uplift me so much, you can't even imagine! You and your family make my heart burst with so much joy. Thank you so much for allowing us to have a peek into your world.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww thank you. I don't deserve such praise but I'm glad you enjoy a peak indy our world. Thanks for your support!

[@flowerpower8992]

[@susanhoward5046]

Happy Birthday to our special little Zander !! 🎉🎈🎁

[@brendavannucci4339]

Oh my goodness 😂 I absolutely love this video! Zander did such an amazing job for Green Chef. He had me laughing out loud! I enjoy all your videos, they take me back to when my children were little. I miss those days ❤️

[@bobbiefarrar3036]

Xander did a fantastic job as the Green Chef!! Thanks for sharing your week of menus - yum! God bless you and your little family!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

Xander did an amazing job at acting out that skit. I see a future in acting for him. He certainly has the personality for it. That was adorable 😊

[@triciabrooks2520]

Oh my heart, Zander the green Chef is adorable. That company should hire him❤.

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅

[@karenc3788]

Zander did an amazing job as the Green Chef, he is a great actor!

[@kareneakers9540]

Love it when Zander was doing his advertising for the green chef!! Soooooooo cute and he did a great job and the baby was so cute in the chefs hat! 😍😍💐💐

[@leabaron6340]

What fab videos.....and xander (apologies if slept zander) was the absolute cutest and so well spoken, your little one is growing so fast. From a mum friend across the pond 🇬🇧

[@ednatroyer1307]

Wish that Green Chef would come knocking at my door!! Really did enjoy your video, blunders and all. I have been cooking alot longer then you and still make mistakes...keeps me humble. God bless!!!

[@dianebondhus9355]

Lol, they should hire Xander! ❤ He's a pro at this. 😊

[@blessednana2272]

Aw loved the green chef skit with Xander, he did so good .

[@ellenaustin9572]

How adorable ! I was very entertained by Xander !

[@robertadunn1572]

Loved this video so much! XANDER DID AM AMAZING JOB REMEMBERING ALL OF THAT STUFF, HE IS SO CUTE AND SMART . The bloopers were so funny. I am not a meal planner I usually get up in the morning and then figure out what I am gonna make that day. My husband is such a picky eater it is so frustrating. REMEMBER no one is perfect, we all make mistakes and then we learn from them right? Enjoy the process of cooking . Happy Belated birthday Xander hope you had a wonderful day. Hugs from Ephrata ❤🤗

[@theMennoniteMom]

😀 I had him do it line by line... sorry you have a pick eater... that makes it really difficult!

[@abbymurray8192]

I'm so happy your back my week was boring with out you, you inspire me to get my house cleaned an dishes done. Thank you for coming back to KZbin.

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww thank you! I'm so happy to have you here! 💓

[@Sarah-qi1se]

Your baby is beautiful, she looks just like she stepped out of a Little Golden book. Love the chef at the door. 😅 You're so creative. The singing at church was beautiful, too.

[@vjohnson2400]

Hope Xander had a wonderful birthday, he’s a super sweet big brother. Loved that you included the beautiful singing in church.

[@mrs.penner9048]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who doesn't really love to cook. Of course, I do it all the time, because I want my family to eat good homecooked meals. But going out to eat is a HUGE bonus!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes!! So agree!

[@jonirennirt2391]

Lexi was hysterical in this video and Xander did such a great job telling about Green Chef. I think they need to hire him!!! LOL!!! And I am serious!!!! Thanks for being "real" about the cooking mishaps. I sure did want a bite of that pasta, and I can't eat it either!!! Great video, Jeanine!!! Have a great weekend!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy 😀

[@debihurd9801]

Oh my, Xander is precious! He is smart as a whip to remember all of that.

[@robertkrismeyer5783]

Xander was a hoot as the Green Chef guy, Just loved it and Lexi has such a cute quirky personality starting to show.

[@rosemaryharris6064]

Zander did such a great job as Green Chef! He is so cute. Lexi is adorable wearing the chef's hat. Thanks for being real ... even sharing your mistakes in every day life.

[@jonirennirt2391]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, XANDER!!!!!!🎂🎂🍧🧁🍨🎈🎈🎉🎉🎊🎊🎁🎁🚲🚲💕💕

[@rachelmiller2340]

Priceless, chef sales!🎉😊

[@kimmerrou]

Yummy yummy stuff! I liked your Green Chef representative. Talk about customer service! 😂 My mom was inventive with her cooking. For the most part she was a great cook. She did her best...however, every once in a while she would put things together that were questionable. Her biggest mistake was on Thanksgiving Day when she made cornbread stuffing. When she put the bowl on the table we wondered what it was. My brother put a big glob on his plate and proceeded to start eating it. Another brother asked my mom how she made it. She told him that she mixed the cornbread mixture with all the other stuff and proceeded to stuff the turkey. My brother (the one that asked) started laughing and told my mom, "You need to cook the cornbread first before you make stuffing." (He was a cook.) What made it even better was the first brother ate all the cornbread stuffing on his plate even though it was not even all the way cooked. (To bolster my mom😊) Don't worry about the mistakes, it helps to keep us grounded. Thanks for sharing.

[@athenawheeler2207]

I loved hearing the beautiful music in the background while you were at church. You just don’t hear such beautiful melodies and traditional songs at most churches these days. I know church isn’t necessarily somewhere you’d take a camera most of the time but I would love to hear more of that music! 🥰

[@bettyloar2238]

Zander did so well with the green chef, they’re really growing, Zander and Lexi, tfs

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

I don’t get time to watch very often. However, cooking videos are my favorite to watch!!! I LOVED this!! From the very beginning to the outtakes!!! Y’all are completely adorable!!!♥️ God bless~

[@Donutsandcoffee31]

You all are the best! Its good to know I'm not alone because my recipes don't always turn out😁 love your sense of humor.

[@debracoulter1250]

Xander “Green Chef” did amazing! Your kids are adorable!

[@addy9562]

Zander is a talented little actor. That was great!

[@carriedoxon2888]

Gosh! My Green Chef delivery just came by mail. Yours was hand delivered by THE Green Chef!! 🥰 Great video! 😂

[@theMennoniteMom]

Enjoy! I could dig into another one about now!

[@bobanddaly]

Oh my God, Xander did great, I enjoyed the video very much, thank you for sharing

[@keziajackman]

This was the funniest video. I almost didn’t watch as cooking videos are probably my least favorite (sorry for all the cooking fans out there) but I can’t count the number of times I laughed out loud between your mistakes (which were way funnier than mine ever are) to the baby making appropriate noises, to Xander’s apt description of the shells “ feels like trying to bite through a bungee cord”. Bahahaha!!!!!! Great work! I love your beautiful dresses and the great humor! Glad you’re back😁

[@theMennoniteMom]

Lol thanks. I share your sentiment. They are my least favorite to make but everyone jetties asking for them. 😝

[@leokreiser3028]

LOL😂😅 such a cute Video! Kuddos. Loved the little man at the door. ❤

[@ginger1549]

I foresee a new future for Zander as an ad actor. He is so adorable and so confident in front of the camera.

[@sheilahackney6214]

Xander should do all their infomercials! Great job👍 and enjoyed the video 💞

[@AB-sf1ls]

I learned this on another KZbin channel that you should not lock the clips on the sides of your crockpot. It could explode! The clips are only for transport. And that was the cutest Green Chef commercial I’ve ever seen!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to remember that!

[@lifeinthepiedmontVirginia]

That was a hilarious video tell Xander great job he sold me! 😉So first link your microphone you use . Also next time you make meatballs add about 1/2 lbs of ground pork sausage to your meatballs makes them so good moist and hold together. Last, Happy Birthday Xander. 🎊🎉🎈thanks for sharing

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thanks for the tip! That sounds tasty! I will get those mics linked for you!

[@lifeinthepiedmontVirginia]

Thank you

[@pennihairston4907]

Wow, Xander did an amazing job, remembering what to say.😊 Great vlog 🎉

[@peterwhite9261]

Adorable. Xander is a natural. He is a great food critic and I loved the Green Chef commercial. Lexi looks like our grand daughter. They are same age too.Your recipes looked great. FYI you can buy pasta noodles you don't have to preboil. We all have been there. We learn as we go. You will find that mic very useful. Love your videos. Great work.

[@cindyk29]

I really enjoyed this vlog! ❤ Loved Zander as the little chef and the bloopers! Too cute 🥰

[@debbiemorgan6701]

Xander did great with his Green Chef bit. Watch out they will be trying to hire him away. I love the week of meals. Happy birthday Xander!

[@theMennoniteMom]

😀 maybe they will lol

[@JaniceKonstantinidis]

Hello Janine. I hope Zander had a happy birthday. You made some yummy meals this week. 😮 Lexi has the most adorable smile 💕💕 I love the Green Chef 💕 Happy birthday Zander 🌺🐰🐟🐿️💕💕💕

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Anytime we get to spend with you and your beautiful family is a blessing 🙏🙏🥰

[@shellydehart8217]

I love your personality n your wit. Xander did a great job at being chief. I’m sure there were many retakes but he still did a good job n he looked so cute in his chief hat n apron. Lexie is adorable n growing up so fast. She’ll be walking soon. Now as for cooking. I don’t cook much anymore seeing it’s just me n my dog ( she has her special dog food). I remember doing the week menus years ago. I could remember trying different recipes n my family would complain as they didn’t like something different. So back to the grind making same thing. They had their favorites, like meatloaf or spaghetti. Sometimes we had breakfast for dinner n they liked that. I really enjoyed this video. It’s always refreshing n always the truth. God bless you all. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes there were many retakes 😀 it does seem children love the same foods and same meals over and over. Yes!

[@brendawolfe7611]

Oh my goodness he is the cutest. You have one special little boy there. He the cutest little cook ever.

[@lsamuel-g6h]

Great, loved Xander and his advertising! What song was that you sang in church?

[@lsamuel-g6h]

Also, do you use Zions praises hymnbook at church? We use that and the church hymnal.... But strangely I don't know that song..... Love Lexi, she becomes prettier and cuter by the moment! God bless you

[@theMennoniteMom]

Yes we do have Zions praises... (: and I'm sorry... I'm forgetting which song I used. I would need to find it in my computer. I have to start remembering To save them and put in description

[@bettyangstadt4242]

Oh my gosh..I enjoyed this video so much! Your two children are natural hams! Little Lexi is going to be her own style of big brother Zander…she is already cracking me up with the little foot in the air in her high chair and the faces she makes..I love her❤. And Chef Zander did such a good job saying all those lines..Green Chef should be hiring him! Your cooking style is just like mine…hit or miss! Thank you for brightening my day with this video! 🥰

[@theMennoniteMom]

Lol thanks. Yes I have a feeling Lexi will be even crazier than Xander! Thanks for being here!

I so love your channel and God loving family home life. We're Keto/carnivore as well and it so benefits our health. Gid Bless you 🙏🙏🥰🥰

[@Hiswordandme]

We use Hello Fresh here in NZ which is similar to Green Chef. Also, clicked on this video not realising how much it would encourage me.. Cooking is hard for me as we have a small kitchen and my husband isn't around so I juggle our 3 year old while trying to cook dinner.. Using those meal Subscriptions does help so much and actually saves me money because we buy less snacks and junk from being full from each meal. I am a wee bit of a nerd also, not with techy stuff but a range of other things 🤓 Blessings to you and your family. Xander being cute and funny as always lol

[@valeriehughes5726]

I wish there was a "love" button to click on! What a great video.. You have the sweetest family and you are just too funny :) The meals looked great and I'm not a great cook either so I could just see me making the same mistakes :) Xander is amazing!! What a great little actor he is! Not sure how he remembered all those lines but he sure did a great job!! That company should hire him lol! Awesome video.

[@theMennoniteMom]

🤣 ww spent quite awhile on it and he I prompted him with each line. But it was fun!

[@briansofie7463]

Zander did absolutely amazing as Green Chef! Great video!- Tammy

[@chenglim7080]

Hello Mennonite Mom, PTGL Amen Amen for a really great video involving all the family. Over here in the UK, we do have a similar company like your Green Chef, played by none other than Xander. Many thanks for sharing this video on cooking. May our Lord continue to bless you and your family always!

Ok Zander was just way too cute! Great video! I am so glad I am not the only one that goes oh darn when I skip a step 🤷‍♀️
