  • A week of dinners for our family of 13.
    Thank you to Ana Luisa for sponsoring today's video! Here is the link!: shop.analuisa.com/ls-happycar...
    We eat a lot of soups and bean dishes to help the meals extend further. We are still on a quest to get our sourdough starter going! I would LOVE to make our own bread! Our sourdough starter got moldy for some reason! A kind viewer sent us a couple of sourdough books and I think maybe the problem was with the water we used? Haha that moment where cooking and science converge.... oh well, not giving up! Thank you all for joining us! #largefamilymeals #budgetfriendlymeals

    I love those McDonald’s happy meal boxes the kids created. So clever !!!
    Naomi’s attempt to make pasta also admirable! 😊❤️

      Yes! So grateful. When I met him he was a single guy but cooked frequently. Then after we got married and started a family, I mostly cooked, but he has a real gift for it!

    Naomi is amazing. tip for her unless she already knows. she can roll out the dough, lightly flour it then roll it up and slice it the size you like. It makes it faster to cut up . Naomi's pasta looks so good.

    Your channel is definitely my favourite! I look forward to each episode! Your meals are so well planned , so healthy and always look delightful. You girls all did such a beautiful job presenting the jewellery in your sponsorship! Looks so pretty.
    It’s just such a joy watching your sweet family’s interaction . Baby Neta is absolutely adorable. She melts my heart. Each of your children are so precious. You are such incredible parents . As always, you are blessing our world de la Motte family.❤️

    Try lemon juice sometime instead of the vinegar I used to use apple cider vinegar all the time and started using lemon juice. I just buy the lemon juice in a bottle. It is wonderful. I like it even better than the apple cider vinegar and I also use avocado oil. I love your place. I can’t wait to see how it looks when you get your downstairs situated and decorated the way that you want it that is so ideal for your big family. Your Monday night soup looks absolutely delicious. I know Jesus must look down upon your family and just smile and laugh and just be so tickled by the joy and the love and laughter in the Christ likeness that is in your family. God bless y’all.

    Always enjoy your What we eat in a week videos. HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL. The jewelry is pretty and very creative with box making girls, good job! Also awesome Happy meal boxes everyone. What a great idea! Everything looked delicious, especially the casserole for Sunday. I agree Amber, Naomi would put a pasta maker to goo use! Elijah sounds amazing practicing. Neta's getting to be a big girl, she's so good. Mo knows what he likes and doesn't, bless his heart, so sweet. Amber so excited for y'all to get the downstairs also. That is a real blessing for your family. You all deserve it.❤ from AR

    It's super easy to throw the skin and bones into an instapot - and slow cook it for 1 day - you get gold a.k.a bone broth with collagen - which you actually can not buy in the grocery store - anywhere. Anything called bone broth is almost always full of chemicals and not actually cooked long enough. I am NOT a mom of 11 - but still - freeze up the skins and bones and make bone broth - it's so nurturing and healthful

    When you mentioned Coco's that brought me back. In the 80's we had a restaurant by that name. I remember their salad dressing and the hot biscuits with honey. I googled it and learned that it was a chain that started in California, so it is probably the same restaurant. We had two here in the Kansas City area at the time, but they are no longer around. My brother is the executive director of the local historical society here and he was able to give me the low down on the restaurant clear down to the unique architectural design of their buildings. Like always the food looks yummy.

    You guys should try the smitten kitchen no knead pizza dough. You just mix yeast/ water/ salt/ flour the night before/ morning of and then leave it till you need it. You can get a really good finish on pizzas by cooking the dough on the stovetop in a really hot pan then finishing under the grill. If you look at Pizza Pilgrims home cooking instructions it explains it well 😊

    Very healthy!Moe is absolutely adorable! He’s such a little man!!😮❤ the jewelry is beautiful! Remember that at Christmas time for all my grandchildren! Yeah, there’s collagen underneath that scan. I would fry that skin up and eat it crispy. Your one daughter is going to turn out to be quite a cook. I bet and she’s gonna come in handy. If things get scarce in the store with the things that she’s learning, she can learn how to make your own pasta, her own cookies, and so forth she’s going to be a big help. Romanian souplooks delicious. Y’all can plant potatoes out in your backyard, as well as herbs and some tomatoes and bell peppers and lettuce and so forth. Netta looks like her baby brother. The noodles look wonderful.

    I use tamale pizza dough in the bread maker. I never could tel the difference when I got it out and rolled out and baked. Easy, inexpensive, no kneading and letting rise. Does it all for you. Might be something to think about. I use to use my bread maker all the time. Made the house smell so good without the work. You can also take the dough out and make cinnamon rolls, etc it’s endless. I was always using it and didn’t have a big family, I’d give away things. Just a bag of flour and yeast. Goes a long way.
