I always asked my kids to take a “thank you bite” if I cooked. It was a respectful way to say thank you, try the food and if they didn’t like it, it was fine. They at least tried it. 🤷🏽♀️
When mine were younger, we called it a polite bite. Momma worked hard to feed you, be polite and take a bite. They mostly liked everything... or at least wanted to be polite to me and ate what I made. Also, we have had money issues (single mom of 4 with 3 jobs at some point) they knew food cost money, try not to waste.
@@xerrias i understand your just trolling and thats fine i am actually talking to others that read this. raising children is so much more than feeding them and clothing them. teaching them thankfulness and manners are also just as important. gratitude is something sorely lacking in our world right now..so is common decency and respect for others needs and opinions. as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord and his teachings of gratitude and grace.
@@mordeys I wasn't trolling actually. I hate the picky stuff because its ungrateful and teaches kids they can have whatever they want and not to be grateful for what they are given and is made for them and instead they can just have their every whim catered to if they say "I don't like this"
Emmy, I think the cupcakes were too wet because you used the full can, instead of the half can listed in the recipe on the label you showed (at 1:34). The recipe on their website lists a full can, but that is the 14.5 oz can. It might also explain the overly hammy flavor!
Other commenters noted the recipe calls for half the can of greens not the entire can. Also it appears you didn't thoroughly rinse the greens to reduce the savory flavor. I think this recipe deserves a redo.
I would definitely dry and rinse better, but i'm guessing that's the limitations of her studio. seeing her mistakes explained and my experiences making cakes with spinach, I'd probably try it with the whole can...or just get fresh greens hearing it's turnip and mustard. I tend to get this brand all the time on clearance, so I love another way to use them if we get bored! And they always have mustard greens, so I imagine a can of those might work here...
@@trashcatlinol yeah, more rinsing, try to get an unseasoned version (even if another brand), and maybe even press them in the strainer (not just let them drain, or shake them lightly) to make sure as much liquid as possible is removed?
I didn't like veggies as a kid, & I don't like most of them now; however, when my daughter began eating solid foods, I knew I had to change my approach for her. So I ate veggies. I couldn't let her see me sweat it, no matter how awful they tasted (or felt in my mouth). I would pretend to chew some things & then swallow them down (erf...mushrooms!). Her plate looked like a mini version of ours. If she didn't eat something, we didn't make it a big deal. We didn't make it a big deal when she _would_ eat something either. What happened was cool, tho. For example, let's say she ignored cabbage the first few times it was served. The fourth time, she simply started eating it. I don't know if she just wasn't paying attention or if she was hungrier that day, but down it went as if she had been eating it all along. As she got older, she just ate what was served; only varying in the amount, given her level of hunger. She's 18 now (just graduated high school today, actually...w00t!), & she has a wonderful, even an adventurous, palate! It worked or we just got really lucky!
That is the same when i was young too lol, i would hate certain veggies but by the age of 8-10 i would just gulp down anything, i stopped being a picky eater. Congrats to your daughter! Im graduating too this june :D
Congratulations to the new graduate! 🎉 I think you made a good choice there - just presenting something without any pressure or bias one way or the other can really make a huge difference.
@@astheticlemon5312 lol Thanks! I took a similar approach re: keeping my cool around insects so she wouldn't grow up frightened of them; however, my mom, who _freaks out_ around bugs, lived with us for a couple of years when our daughter was 5-6 yrs old, & just completely undid all of that chill I tried so hard to maintain! 😁I guess her schwarz was more powerful than mine! 🤷♀️
Yep, that's kind of a big mistake for her to make, lol. I'm sure it would've been perfect tasting if she had actually followed the recipe exactly, hahaha.
@@lucasgardner6189 As a former damned Yankee, I agree with both of you. Learned to love them in school lunches cooked with some kind of pork fat and topped with white vinegar steeped with jalapenos. Just spent the last two days eating trough a five pound bag of them and tonight I'm working on 2 pounds of frozen turnip greens. Ya all taught me something while I lived down there and it has stayed with me for 50 years.
My rule was always that kids had to take a bite of everything. If they didn't like it, they could have more of something else Very often, if they tasted the food, they would eat it. More often, after a few tries they would start to like it. Kids need to try new foods quite a few times to develop a taste for some foods. We never had food stand offs at my dinner table.
This recipe reminds me of my old professor. He used to eat chocolate covered Kale because he wanted the nutrients from kale but couldn't eat it on its own 😂
Every time Emmy comments about how many greens there are I get a little louder: "Check the can Emmy! Check the measurements!" 😂 Too bad she can't hear me. 🤷🏻
This reminds me of my mom’s chocolate zucchini cake. Basically chocolate cake with blended fresh zucchini in it. It’s less sweet than regular but really good this way actually.
As an early childhood educator, I'm no expert on child nutrition, but what I do know, is that the most recent best practice is to not bother having battles about what your child eats, but continually offering new or disliked things alongside things you know your child eats. The less pressure you put on them, the more likely it is that they will learn to try things and have a more well rounded diet as an adult. Children also have vastly more taste buds than adults so bitter things taste much more bitter to a child as well. So if anyone wants to judge you for what you said about feeding your child... they can move right along and keep their judgements to themselves. You are an awesome mom!!
My dad always told me I had to try it before saying I didn’t like something and I’ve taken that through my whole life and found so many foods I never would’ve thought I liked because of it
Also, if a child has a picky parent they will emulate that parent. If mom or dad refuses to eat vegetables the kids will be the same. If the parents suck it up and eat their vegetables and other foods (without complaint), they will have children with a more varied palate.
@@melaniabladeofmiquella sometimes yes, but as a child and as an adult I still just dont like peas in any shape or form. Sometimes people just dont like things, and that's ok too!
There are lots of cook books with this done. Rinsing season off makes the difference. Jerry Seinfeld’s wife has a book. Zucchini is the most added vegetable to things...
Ugh that’s exactly what this video gave me flashbacks to - every summer my mom would make chocolate cake/brownies with shredded zucchini added in and I always was furious why we couldn’t just have the “normal” version without a bunch of stringy bits in every bite ruining it 😅🤢
Emmy, my grandmother taught me to cut a rectangle out of a paper plate from edge to center about 1/4 inch, slide the beaters in the groove and place the plate over the mixing bowl, like a lid. This helps keep dry ingredients from escaping the bowl. Works great!
And texture. Adults sometimes forget how things eat to a child. I almost gagged eating certain things are a child in its regular state, but could eat it if you pured it or something.
As a 20yo adult, I absolutely agree. There are sooo many foods I refuse to eat because I just know the texture will make me want to throw up. Shrimp for example, the texture is so weird and I absolutely hate it.
With my picky children and thier far pickier friends I have learned that mixing in vegetables to sweets usually does not deceive children. But they usually don't mind anyway.
Those would probably be good, because chickpeas are pale in color and mild-flavored. I've long heard that brownies with black beans in them are also quite good.
I think you could make this with a different brand of greens that did not have the smoke flavor. They add that so it will taste like it was cooked with ham-hocks the traditional "Southern style".
I still make swiss chard Christmas pie every year, because I grew up eating it. So this doesn't seem weird to me at all. I'd totally eat those... I suspect it'd be better if you used boiled greens without fake smoke flavor though.
My then neighbor Sadie once came over for dinner and brought us a 'pumpkin pie.' When she went home, she found the pumpkin puree in the refrigerator. But her butter bean puree, (larger lima beans that are beigey instead of green), were missing. She had made a lima bean pie, with pumpkin pie spice --and it tasted great.
My parents used reverse psychology to get us to eat things. Brussels sprouts were “too good for kids,” and they didn’t let us have any, even though we asked for some! The next time they hit the table, we BEGGED for sprouts, and to this day, we all love them!
Am i the only one who just loved veggies cause they were always fun go eat, okra looked like weird alien thingies, brocolli tiny trees, brussel sprouts smol cabbages, and it made them super fun! Helped my mum knew how to cook em
Heard a story once of this guy who thought he didn't like chocolate. Turns out that as a kid his father used to cheat him out of his Halloween candy by saying "Oh you don't like these chocolate bars...I'll take them".
Love your little “speech” about not disguising veggies in your kids’ foods. I am the same way. My oldest and youngest really like veggies. My middle child doesn’t. I don’t like a lot of stuff that I’m sure would be good for me. I’d hate it if someone hid it in my food. =)
Truth. At one point my son only ate chicken nuggets and macaroni. Now as an adult he eats sushi and loves Indian food. I just never wanted to make food a battlefield.
I respect your decision not to force your kids to eat what they don't like. I had a lot of problems with food growing up and my parents were just awful about it. Your a dream mom
I do the same thing with my kids when it comes to veggies. I never EVER force them to finish them if they don’t like them, but make them take one bite just to try it. If they don’t like it, that’s okay. But I reintroduce the veggies once in a while in a different form (fresh vs cooked, in rice or in soup, etc) and see how they tolerate it. Just gotta show them the many possibilities. Almost always works. Mine are 7, 9, and 10 and will tear up veggies now in all different forms.
Hey emmy!- I'm from deridder louisiana and I'd personally like to give you special thanks as glory greens litterly( in no way figurativly) saved our lives during hurricane laura ( im not a good typer so if you wanna hear a story completely with picture that were themost amazing adventure I've ever encountered let me know and I'll get my hubs to record a video thing)`
I think perhaps you and your husband should make a video telling your story and at least post it yourself. I'd love to hear the story and am glad they were able to help y'all during a terrible time and hope you are doing well 🙂
This is our favorite frosting! We love the tanginess that comes from the cream cheese. It’s definitely easier to mix in a stand mixer than with the hand mixer though. 😊
@@ts7844 Friend, at least one dictionary that I consulted lists "appropriate" and "apropos" as synonyms of each other. Others cite "relevant" and "opportune" as synonyms.
I actually like hidden veggie foods for myself! I sometimes choose veggies but never enough for the recommendations. I’m much more likely to choose sweets. I especially love hidden veggie muffins for breakfast. I normally eat muffins and other carb heavy foods for breakfast, so adding some extra vitamins is a bonus for me
But she always likes to taste things the way they are as well. She likes to see what stuff tastes like, before doing anything to it no matter what it is. I love that she does that.
I remember seeing something similar to this with using grated zucchini in cupcakes as well and since zucchini doesn’t have much of a distinct flavor it was an easy way to get more fiber into your diet.
i haz a cuisie hand mixer, too. it was my first real-deal kitchen power tool. it has so much low-end torque that it never fails to jump and twist in my hand when i first fire it up. so i've learned to mash the dry into the wet before ever turning it on! and i've seen alton brown cut a slit and a hole into a paper plate, which he then places around the stems of the beaters and over the bowl so that all the powdery goodness doesn't go flying out when you put the spurs to it. :)
My grandmother makes brownies with sweet potatoes! They're so moist and fluffy and naturally sweet, I prefer them over normal ones bcos it isn't as cloying, and the chocolate flavour is well accompanied with the subtle earthiness of the sweet potato
We have two of those blenders, one in the kitchen and one in our RV. Love it, but yes low speed is a good start. Good for breads with the dough hooks that comes with the blender.
Hi Emmy, I'm not sure how familiar you are with Soul Food, but these greens are usually turnip greens, collards and mustard greens. Soul Food does not include kale and rarely does it include spinach. 🤣 And the smokiness is from smoked turkey or hamhocks, although I think the canned version are vegan and liquid smoke is used. The acidity is from vinegar. The pepper is red bell pepper.
I was the weird kid who would have preferred to just eat the greens. I didn't eat chocolate until I was a teenager. And I still hate most cake and frosting. Too sweet.
Totally agree with your approach regarding your children and vegetables. We had stand offs with my oldest, then we decided we wanted streas free fun family dinners with our little people. Now our kiddos are adults, and healthy eaters. It all works out!
I've been watching your channel for several years and I think you're awesome and appreciate everything you do. ❤ It's only when you start pulling out the mayonnaise that I have to shut you off. But that's my own personal thing. So, keep doing what you are doing. You're cute, smart and wonderful. Thank you.
See, my bigger gripe with this is that veggie-dessert recipes are meant to use up old ripe vegetables (that have become sweet/moist) and get some added benefits. What is the point of using canned greens? It's incorporates a ton of salt/preservatives and the canned vegetables are less nutritious. Esp if you need a pound of frosting to mask the taste lol. Great video Emmy!
@@auntlynnie Exactly, my point. Even if this is were a scarcity recipe, it's odd seeing it advertised as some great way to sneek vegetables in for kids, when it certainly isn't :/
@@NejiRaven it might’ve started as a scarcity recipe and they’ve adapted the reason to try it to try to appeal to present day since it’s not as big of a thing
Emmy you truly are a fantastic mom. I love that you don’t force your kids to eat things they don’t like. My parents did that with me when I was a kid and it’s led me to have a very toxic relationship with food as an adult. I also notice how you never show your kids faces in your videos and I appreciate that as well. Young kids can’t really consent to being on camera and they don’t really understand the permanent impact being put online can have. I think kids shouldn’t b put online at all until they are old enough to understand how the internet works and the repercussions being on it can have.
You’re very wise with the approach concerning tasting foods - ingredients! It’s also how I approach the foods with my own family members! I tell them if you don’t taste one bite, you can’t know how it taste. Nor can you have an interesting or intelligent conversation about foods. Once you taste , you know if it’s a like or dislike, the textures, tastes and how you yourself responds when eating it. Learning how things taste etc provides one the ability to have intellectual conversations with others.
I'm sort of curious about these even as an adult, if I can still have a sugary treat every now and then but at the same time inject some additional nutritional value rather than just empty calories then win win.
Hello Emmy! I just discovered you and your channel and love to watch you work! From your salutation "Greetings, my beautiful lovelies" to when you complete your videos. THANK YOU! One thing about this "Not Just Chocolate Cupcakes" recipe; I wish there was a breakdown of the Duncan Hines box mix ingredients. Being a new baker, I like doing things from scratch. But this recipe looks intriguing. The real acid test is to have your kids test taste these. ❤👌
I think a balance can be found in getting kids to try new things and at least making them try a bite of it while also understanding that it might just be a food that child doesn't like. We ALL have foods we don't like and wouldn't wanna be forced to eat. Doesn't mean they can't later on like it as all of our taste change and evolve as we get older,but to not overly force it either. Trying it in a different format or trying it again over time,absolutely. I always appreciated the balance my parents had when it came to trying/not liking food and I grew up eating 99.9% of what was made. Loved almost all fruits and a large portion of veggies.

That's how I grew up. Now, I'll try anything once.
I learned in my college nutrition class that it can take kids up to 20 different exposures to a new food for them to develop a taste for it

Hello 👋 how are you doing
Me: *Has been eating Glory canned greens as a side for dinner for years, since childhood*
Emmy, 2021: "They can be dessert now too"
Me: 👁👄👁
OMG Canned greens! Bless you!
I find them too salty. Half of a can is like 100% of the recommended daily sodium value.
LOL I like the Glory products, too. Not tin-y tasting to me. I rinse them to get some of the salt off, though.
We only ate them if my mom didn't feel like cleaning greens

In my family, we're never made to eat anything, only try it. A lot of times it's simply the color or appearance of foods that kids don't like.
And texture. Adults sometimes forget how things eat to a child. I almost gagged eating certain things are a child in its regular state, but could eat it if you pured it or something.
As a 20yo adult, I absolutely agree. There are sooo many foods I refuse to eat because I just know the texture will make me want to throw up. Shrimp for example, the texture is so weird and I absolutely hate it.
Or sometimes it’s just not cooked in the best way. For example, Brussel sprouts are so much better roasted/baked than boiled!

I think you could make this with a different brand of greens that did not have the smoke flavor. They add that so it will taste like it was cooked with ham-hocks the traditional "Southern style".
3:55 I recognized Butter by BTS the second you started humming it 😂
I still make swiss chard Christmas pie every year, because I grew up eating it. So this doesn't seem weird to me at all. I'd totally eat those... I suspect it'd be better if you used boiled greens without fake smoke flavor though.
Emmy, the recipe calls for 14.5 oz of greens..not the full 27 oz oops 🤦♀️
My then neighbor Sadie once came over for dinner and brought us a 'pumpkin pie.' When she went home, she found the pumpkin puree in the refrigerator. But her butter bean puree, (larger lima beans that are beigey instead of green), were missing. She had made a lima bean pie, with pumpkin pie spice --and it tasted great.
Wow 😄
"It's not unpleasant" is the ringing endorsement I didn't know I needed. 🤣🤣
I keep wanting to yell "DON'T USE THE WHOLE CAN!!" But, you couldn't hear me.
I heard you, but you couldn't hear _me_ yelling at ya to knock it off!
;) hehe jk! ♡

Hello 👋 how are you doing
My parents used reverse psychology to get us to eat things. Brussels sprouts were “too good for kids,” and they didn’t let us have any, even though we asked for some! The next time they hit the table, we BEGGED for sprouts, and to this day, we all love them!
Hehe, my dad used to refer to fried okra as okra candy. My brother absolutely loves the stuff to this day.
Devious! And quite brilliant. 👏
Am i the only one who just loved veggies cause they were always fun go eat, okra looked like weird alien thingies, brocolli tiny trees, brussel sprouts smol cabbages, and it made them super fun! Helped my mum knew how to cook em
Heard a story once of this guy who thought he didn't like chocolate. Turns out that as a kid his father used to cheat him out of his Halloween candy by saying "Oh you don't like these chocolate bars...I'll take them".
haha my granny told me that brussels sprouts were baby cabbage
I miss this channel so much 🖤 glad I started binging again ☺️ you’re always the sweetest and always have something interesting to showcase!
☺️Emmy even wrote 14 oz of greens in her recipe. These cupcakes were just twice as healthy😉
The recipe said 1/2 the can. Emmy you added the entire can.
Hello @Detra Hall
You just called my name Can 😂😂
Hello 👋 how are you doing
Love your little “speech” about not disguising veggies in your kids’ foods. I am the same way. My oldest and youngest really like veggies. My middle child doesn’t. I don’t like a lot of stuff that I’m sure would be good for me. I’d hate it if someone hid it in my food. =)
Truth. At one point my son only ate chicken nuggets and macaroni. Now as an adult he eats sushi and loves Indian food. I just never wanted to make food a battlefield.
I don’t see the harm as long as you don’t actually lie to them about it
Yay another Emmy video! 🥰 I love the longer ones!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The tune in the background is Butter! 😆
Hello @dela cruz
My moma always make a thing like this so I learned from her 😎😎😎
Hello 👋 how are you doing
This is the earliest that I’ve been on here! I’m so excited!
"It's gonna be a little loud"
Quietest blender ever as though it's apologizing for raising its voice on camera
I respect your decision not to force your kids to eat what they don't like. I had a lot of problems with food growing up and my parents were just awful about it. Your a dream mom
I do the same thing with my kids when it comes to veggies. I never EVER force them to finish them if they don’t like them, but make them take one bite just to try it. If they don’t like it, that’s okay. But I reintroduce the veggies once in a while in a different form (fresh vs cooked, in rice or in soup, etc) and see how they tolerate it. Just gotta show them the many possibilities. Almost always works. Mine are 7, 9, and 10 and will tear up veggies now in all different forms.
We need a do-over Emmy! You used the whole can of greens instead of 1/2 the can! 💕❤️💕
Hey emmy!- I'm from deridder louisiana and I'd personally like to give you special thanks as glory greens litterly( in no way figurativly) saved our lives during hurricane laura ( im not a good typer so if you wanna hear a story completely with picture that were themost amazing adventure I've ever encountered let me know and I'll get my hubs to record a video thing)`
I think perhaps you and your husband should make a video telling your story and at least post it yourself. I'd love to hear the story and am glad they were able to help y'all during a terrible time and hope you are doing well 🙂
Watching your videos and seeing all the kindness you have, made me a better person
Beautiful and amazingly talented! Thanks for the vid, Emmy.
Omg, the tune was BTS Butter!!!!
The question of the hour: What did the kids think?
Those things look amazing. Love moist cupcakes with soft frosting. Good job!
This is our favorite frosting! We love the tanginess that comes from the cream cheese. It’s definitely easier to mix in a stand mixer than with the hand mixer though. 😊
I think the tune is Butter. Very apropos for a food channel!
Smooth like butter like a criminal undercover 😆
Incorrect use of the word ‘apropos’ the word you are looking for is ‘appropriate’.
@@ts7844 Friend, at least one dictionary that I consulted lists "appropriate" and "apropos" as synonyms of each other. Others cite "relevant" and "opportune" as synonyms.
@@canuckpagali appropriate was the correct word for this context,
The tune 🎶=Butter by BTS
I actually like hidden veggie foods for myself! I sometimes choose veggies but never enough for the recommendations. I’m much more likely to choose sweets. I especially love hidden veggie muffins for breakfast. I normally eat muffins and other carb heavy foods for breakfast, so adding some extra vitamins is a bonus for me
I appreciate your honesty
Metalic tasting - that is why you should rinse them. 😂
Yes 🤮 hate that taste
I was getting stressed that she kept tasting them... I’m kind of crazy when it comes to being precise with measurements.
She knows this. That's why she did rinse them.
@@bastioncory6740 I know she knows :) She did read the instructions in the video. I would of just rinsed them before doing the taste test.
But she always likes to taste things the way they are as well. She likes to see what stuff tastes like, before doing anything to it no matter what it is. I love that she does that.
THE ICONIC BREAD WHISK IS BACK... such a love hate relationship with it 😂
I remember seeing something similar to this with using grated zucchini in cupcakes as well and since zucchini doesn’t have much of a distinct flavor it was an easy way to get more fiber into your diet.
I absolutely love your stance on feeding your son. I'm a picky eater and my son was the same way and I did the same as you. ❤️
Emmy made cupcakes a vegetable! Yay!
I'm gonna eat this as a side for fried chicken
😂🤣
😭
Really, I think 🤔 I'll pay for that?? 🍲🍲🍲
NGL, when you were pouring the pureed greens, it looked like what you might find in a baby's diaper. 😳
i haz a cuisie hand mixer, too. it was my first real-deal kitchen power tool. it has so much low-end torque that it never fails to jump and twist in my hand when i first fire it up. so i've learned to mash the dry into the wet before ever turning it on! and i've seen alton brown cut a slit and a hole into a paper plate, which he then places around the stems of the beaters and over the bowl so that all the powdery goodness doesn't go flying out when you put the spurs to it. :)
perfect video for winding down before bed. love your videos! very interesting recipe.
I have these in my cabinet and will be trying this asap, lol. I love your weird savory to sweet recipes. ☺
Let me know what you think.
Do yourself a favor and use 1/2 of the can, like the recipe says...
Wow really cool huh 😊😊
The book was called the Sneaky Chef and I remember giving it to my brother who ended up not having children.
😂😂
💀💀💀
My grandmother makes brownies with sweet potatoes! They're so moist and fluffy and naturally sweet, I prefer them over normal ones bcos it isn't as cloying, and the chocolate flavour is well accompanied with the subtle earthiness of the sweet potato
Deceptively Delicious! I loved that cook book
Oh my.
Talk about hiding veggies in food.
I've had chocolate zucchini bread, it's awesome.
Tune:
"Ain't She Sweet"
Emmy’s arms are always so freaking TONED. 😩💜
We have two of those blenders, one in the kitchen and one in our RV. Love it, but yes low speed is a good start. Good for breads with the dough hooks that comes with the blender.
Glory brand is my go to for greens! Nicely spiced!
Hi Emmy, I'm not sure how familiar you are with Soul Food, but these greens are usually turnip greens, collards and mustard greens. Soul Food does not include kale and rarely does it include spinach. 🤣 And the smokiness is from smoked turkey or hamhocks, although I think the canned version are vegan and liquid smoke is used. The acidity is from vinegar. The pepper is red bell pepper.
lmao ty ffs that was the most milktoaste thing I've seen Emmy say and I've been watching this channel for a long time now
@@eveemcghee4454 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was the weird kid who would have preferred to just eat the greens. I didn't eat chocolate until I was a teenager. And I still hate most cake and frosting. Too sweet.
I was the veggie kid also. But I wanted fresh!
SAME. i still cant do sweet
Totally agree with your approach regarding your children and vegetables. We had stand offs with my oldest, then we decided we wanted streas free fun family dinners with our little people. Now our kiddos are adults, and healthy eaters. It all works out!
I've been watching your channel for several years and I think you're awesome and appreciate everything you do. ❤ It's only when you start pulling out the mayonnaise that I have to shut you off. But that's my own personal thing. So, keep doing what you are doing. You're cute, smart and wonderful. Thank you.
I feel like these would work much better with an unseasoned variety.
See, my bigger gripe with this is that veggie-dessert recipes are meant to use up old ripe vegetables (that have become sweet/moist) and get some added benefits. What is the point of using canned greens? It's incorporates a ton of salt/preservatives and the canned vegetables are less nutritious. Esp if you need a pound of frosting to mask the taste lol. Great video Emmy!
A lot of these recipes came from the Great Depression.
😕 just add canned foods and sugar to make a treat that's slightly more filling.
The recipe was on the side of the tin...
@@auntlynnie Exactly, my point. Even if this is were a scarcity recipe, it's odd seeing it advertised as some great way to sneek vegetables in for kids, when it certainly isn't :/
@@NejiRaven it might’ve started as a scarcity recipe and they’ve adapted the reason to try it to try to appeal to present day since it’s not as big of a thing
@@NejiRaven why cant it be both?
Very interesting recipe. I’m tempted to give it a go.
Gotta try this
Didn’t the recipe call for 1/2 a can of greens ?
Yes it did say (1/2) can 27oz! That’s why it came out wet like!
Yup! Whoopsie!
3:55 ahaha i see i’m not the only who randomly has bts’s butter stuck in my head
Emmy you truly are a fantastic mom. I love that you don’t force your kids to eat things they don’t like. My parents did that with me when I was a kid and it’s led me to have a very toxic relationship with food as an adult. I also notice how you never show your kids faces in your videos and I appreciate that as well. Young kids can’t really consent to being on camera and they don’t really understand the permanent impact being put online can have. I think kids shouldn’t b put online at all until they are old enough to understand how the internet works and the repercussions being on it can have.
You’re very wise with the approach concerning tasting foods - ingredients! It’s also how I approach the foods with my own family members! I tell them if you don’t taste one bite, you can’t know how it taste. Nor can you have an interesting or intelligent conversation about foods. Once you taste , you know if it’s a like or dislike, the textures, tastes and how you yourself responds when eating it. Learning how things taste etc provides one the ability to have intellectual conversations with others.
I'm sort of curious about these even as an adult, if I can still have a sugary treat every now and then but at the same time inject some additional nutritional value rather than just empty calories then win win.
I put dehydrated mixed greens in just about everything I cook. Does not change the taste.
Hello Emmy! I just discovered you and your channel and love to watch you work! From your salutation "Greetings, my beautiful lovelies" to when you complete your videos. THANK YOU! One thing about this "Not Just Chocolate Cupcakes" recipe; I wish there was a breakdown of the Duncan Hines box mix ingredients. Being a new baker, I like doing things from scratch. But this recipe looks intriguing. The real acid test is to have your kids test taste these. ❤👌
I’ve never done this, but I’ve done black beans in brownies and “cake” pops and that works absolutely insanely well
I buy Glory green beans all the time. I never noticed that recipe on the back before. I should be more observant.
Oh wow! Yummmmm I love sneaky “healthy” cupcakes 🧁
Tbf i dont think mixed greens are thaat healthy, its like 50% bacon
@@fruitylerlups530 hence why I wrote "healthy"
Just discovered your channel recently 😍🔥Been binge watching your videos ever since 😂😌♥️
Deceptively Delicious! I have that cookbook! 😊😊
I think this recipe was meant for another smokey type of green
You are humming butter by BTS! OMG!!!
🥞
Emmy I made these cupcakes and that are really good!! Have to use the smaller can of greens!! But they are tasty!!
I think a balance can be found in getting kids to try new things and at least making them try a bite of it while also understanding that it might just be a food that child doesn't like. We ALL have foods we don't like and wouldn't wanna be forced to eat. Doesn't mean they can't later on like it as all of our taste change and evolve as we get older,but to not overly force it either. Trying it in a different format or trying it again over time,absolutely. I always appreciated the balance my parents had when it came to trying/not liking food and I grew up eating 99.9% of what was made. Loved almost all fruits and a large portion of veggies.
