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!! ✨💙✨

[@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!

[@rk-solideogloria]

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

[@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~

[@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.

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!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@ruthturkington1736]

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

[@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!

[@mariahknisley4916]

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

[@lindagailsch]

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

[@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. 💞🙏

[@LindaAndrews128]

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

[@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!

[@rahc1819]

I absolutely adore your daughter! She has such a lively spirit! Adorable!

[@theMennoniteMom]

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

[@flowerpower8992]

Aww Zander in the green chef apron and chefs hat , telling you about the products such a joy to watch 😊 hope he had a good birthday greetings from England

[@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! 🤣

[@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😊

[@dianalama1591]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@susanhoward5046]

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

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

[@dianebondhus9355]

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

[@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! 😍😍💐💐

[@tracywhite1694]

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

[@theMennoniteMom]

[@letthewordspeakministries888]

Loved the green chef commercial!!! Tell Xander he did a great job!!! Ya'll should make all commercials into an acting skit!!! very enjoyable to watch!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Lol thanks! I'll keep that in mind!

[@letthewordspeakministries888]

Green Chef should give you an award for most creative. And Lexie with the green chef hat was sooooo cute!!!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Aww thanks! We had fun with it!

[@ellenaustin9572]

How adorable ! I was very entertained by Xander !

[@triciabrooks2520]

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

[@theMennoniteMom]

😅

[@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 ❤️

[@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

[@leabaron6340]

[@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!!!

[@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 😊

[@abbymurray8192]

[@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.

[@debracoulter1250]

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

[@blessednana2272]

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

[@notenoughcoffee2679]

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.

[@bobanddaly]

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

[@rachelmiller2340]

Priceless, chef sales!🎉😊

[@addy9562]

Zander is a talented little actor. That was great!

[@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.

[@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!

[@karenc3788]

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

[@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! 🥰

[@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. 😝

[@rubycase6829]

Glad your back! Enjoyed the video! Loved Zander in his chef outfit! He did a great job! 💕

[@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.

[@brendawolfe7611]

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

[@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~

[@debihurd9801]

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

[@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 😀

[@robertkrismeyer5783]

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

[@ltilley7343]

Best video sponsorship ad EVER!!!! Great job Zander & mom! ❤

[@theMennoniteMom]

😀 thank you!

[@cindyk29]

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

[@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.

[@a.hakvoort8098]

It so good to have you back! I like the a capella singing in your church. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you! I enjoy that part of worship so much

[@bettyloar2238]

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

[@laurenalcala4253]

So happy to see another video!!! The green chef was adorable!! Lexi is so cute! You did a great job cooking. Everything looked delicious. Have a wonderful weekend. TFS ❤️

[@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

[@michellebarham326]

Thanks for the Inspiration! I get tired of having to think of what to make 2-3 times a day. Xander did an AMAZING job as the Green Chef! He clearly enjoyed himself🙌. And Lexi is just the sweetest and such a happy girl! ❤

[@briansofie7463]

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

[@cajuncustomizedexcursions7064]

Your recipes look just delicious!! Yummm! and your children are just precious!!!

[@pennihairston4907]

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

[@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!

[@laurielynn1699]

I'm so glad you decided to continue making videos. Love you and your family. ❤😊

[@theMennoniteMom]

Thank you!

[@francesahrens1578]

Xander did such a great job!!!

[@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

[@LisaR2392]

Something tells me Lexiis going to be just as comical as Xander! She has that same little gigglie smile!

[@childoftheking9907]

The green chef "commercial" was adorable!! 😂

[@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!

[@leilasilva1571]

Your baby is so beautiful. Happy birthday to Zander. He is full of joy..

[@Dranma51]

Xander would do an awesome commercial for Green Chef! So cute! ❤️

[@shelleyanne3522]

Love the outtakes( you sing songy funny dance), love little Lexi staring right into the camera at church, sooo adorable, and Xander was great acting in the commercial

[@karengear5254]

Oh my Zander is the perfect green chef. Love it ❤

[@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!

[@JamieLC82]

Green Chef should hire Zander. He was amazing! So cute!

[@marsharotramel6348]

Adorable kiddos!! Loved the video. Your family is so sweet!

[@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!

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Love the outtakes! I'm sure Green Chef is very impressed with your ad....I was sure impressed! Xander did a great job! Lexi did NOT like that chef's hat!

[@sheilahackney6214]

Zander, that was absolutely brilliant.

[@degibb10]

Loved this video and your little green chef was too cute!

[@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!

Zander did awesome job. I don't care for cooking alot but a must lol. I'm going to look at some their recipes. I do mediterranean.
