    I appreciate homemade cooking so much more than fast food and outdoor dining. The fact that my mom spends hours to create something that I'll devour in under 30 minutes shows how much amazing effort she puts into her food.

    Everything you said resonates..I cook mostly every day. Some days yes im tired and they fend for themselves or we order out but most of the time I cook. I always have.. Now that my son is 26 he calls me and says , can I fly home for Thanksgiving? I miss my mommas cooking. My oldest daughter is teaching my grand daughter how to cook.. It really is generational. Children learn what they live and if they see you cooking they will grow up and cook too. If you raise them on fast food they will grow up tp be unhealthy adults,

    This is wonderful. I am a parent of 3 myself, and set out on a mission years ago to cook as many things as possible at home. It makes such a difference. The part of this video where she talked about her older son's accomplishments and how he viewed helping her cook as a child was very moving. My middle child feels the same way about helping in the kitchen. Home cooking is worth the time and the mess, your whole family will benefit from it in ways you don't even realize!

    AWESOME TALK and photos...many thanks! I grew up in the 1950s and 60s with all the high processed food...mom made a lot of that cooking for four kids but also made a lot from scratch and did a lot of baking! My two grandmothers were born in the late 1800s and were top notch cooks and esp. bakers! One won Blue Ribbons at a State Fair for her great pies! Both could have owned their own bakeries if women back then had owned their own businesses. I cook mostly from scratch and love to bake using healthy mostly organic ingredients. Love Bob's Red Mill products..the best! I have a sign on the back of my stove that I've had since the 1980s that says "HOMECOOKING'! i also made much of my own baby food with a baby food mill back in the day....part Earth Mother here! Thanks for sharing....peace, love and namaste~

    Cooking is an important life skill that everyone needs to learn in my humble opinion. You can't be relying on Hungryman TV dinner, Instant Ramen packs, Fast food McDonald's or Chef Boyardee Ravioli for rest of your life as it isn't healthy. Ever since this quarantine happened, it made me reflect on myself and spent so much time in the kitchen learning recipes on CZcams. It suddenly became a passion now seeing how cooking can be a crafts and an art. The overall presentation of it just looks so satisfying and appetizing too.

    Hilary Clinton stole that phrase and should have created her own title.
    Q:
    What Is the Origin of the Phrase "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child'?
    A:
    QUICK ANSWER
    "It takes a village to raise a child" is an Igbo and Yoruba proverb that exists in many different African languages. It reflects the emphasis African cultures place on family and community

      Yes, she should have mentioned the original context. It makes it sound more realistic, and less political.

      Hillary didn't steal anything. Somehow I knew where the saying came from and it wasn't original with Hillary... There was no political intent involved....

      @bwenluck9812 Před 8 měsíci

      You've already made up your mind before she's barely said a word! Just for today try leaving your house without expecting to be insulted. You might just learn something. Left, right, or in the middle, people are just people. We're all just muddling through this world the best we can. God gave us two eyes, two ears--try using them.
      Not everything has to be about politics--that is your choice and you sound miserable.

    I think this is great if you are barren inside. If you are a feeling being, who needs all this emotion and opinion about nothing? She lives in wish and emotion. Cook it off. Cooking is not really about you and your feelings, sorry. You are feeling so far into it, you're making lots of things out of absolutely nothing, like spinning cotton candy out of emotion by triangulating through your kids. knock it off lady, please.
    btw, did you ever think the water you add to the pan is steaming because of the heat, and who needs the butter actually, or the egg for that matter? hmmm, interesting. are you promoting health, or feelings of your own good memories about your kids? I feel worse off for giving you my time.
