If you brown your meatballs first, it gives them a nice crust on the outside, and then finish them in the crockpot.
Thank you so much for the tip! I will for sure be trying that next time.
This is what I always do. Brown them in the oven then add sauce. Looks great though.
I also brown mine first. Sometimes in a frying pan and sometimes in the oven on a cookie sheet.
I brown mine in butter 😋
@ThisAlaskaLife also, think of your crockpot like your oven. Every time you take off the lid, you have to build the heat back up. I think the rule is to add 15 min cooking time each time you open it.
I love seeing you work in the kitchen. And I love seeing you all eat dinner together.
Good afternoon Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day ❤
“It will still taste good. “ is always my philosophy! 🤗
I am a new viewer/subscriber and I am loving your videos and family. It is heart warming to see your family interactions and your husband cooking and everyone sitting down as a family to eat supper. Keep the videos coming!
Mark you are such a good Man.
You have a really beautiful kitchen!
Thank you so much. We feel really blessed to have such a great space.
You can brown your meatballs on your cast iron, or bake them in the oven. Even if you cook them partially, they will finish cooking in the marinara.
If you premix your smoothie dry ingredients into small bags for the week you will save some time on those busy mornings
I do that when we travel and it makes things easy! Thanks for watching
Absolutely adore your family.
It's nice to see Dad in the kitchen cooking give mom a little help 😊
Thanks for the egg roll recipe.
I loved watching the sample king making cookies he looks so cute with his new glasses it is so nice that everyone in the family helps
@ThisAlaskaLife749 I don't know how to do that
I use a bag of coleslaw in my egg roll in a bowl. Quick and easy.
Me too quick easy and yummy
I have done that too! Works so well. I needed to use up some veggies this time so lots of chopping!
I always either pre bake or fry the meatballs before they go into the crock pot. They have better flavor and are more solid (for stirring).
Thank you so much for the tip! I am going to try that next time. Otherwise, they were incredible. I will be making them again!
I know with my meatballs I have to have them in the crockpot on high four Hours or low for close to seven or eight hours especially if they are not precooked or are larger sized meatballs.
Love how the boys help with cooking and baking. Great job Mom & Dad!! 😁👍🐕🐶🐾🇺🇸
I love smoothies with frozen berries😋
Angel girl. Please buy pickled herring for Mark @ Costco. He loves it, but won't buy it cuz he thinks you won't eat. I'm binge watching for 2 weeks. I love your channel. God Bless and many 🙏🏻 prayers. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister
Hello, you have much interesting Videos. Love All of them. See all the Times. Have good Receptis , wish See more pleace. More interest places to go, shopping, spending time with Family, cabins and more. Thank you for All of them. Sending much Hugh for you and your family from Austria, Steyr.
Hi Lauren...Loved your video. I believe if you would have browned your meatballs first, then put in crockpot they would have cooked faster. You are so inspiring to me and I love how real life you are. I was laughing at Luna in the background wanting a cookie. 🤣🤣🤣
Have a wonderful weekend.
Love that your guys help and come up and grab whatever your doing and try it they sure aren't picky. And that Mark cooks too. Great
Mark taught me a lot about cooking, I am grateful he is so great at it! Thanks for watching!
Using gloves are awesome when working with meats. Love watching you ❤️ ♥️ 💕
You have fast become my favorite vlogger. I love seeing the whole family involved in cooking and love listening to the boys as they go about their lives.
HI MARK I SEND THE LOUISIANA GIFT BOX HOPE YOU ENJOY THE THINGS YOU COOK AND BAKE AND THANKS LAUREN FOR RECORDING IT
It was so good! The cobbler with the banana was something we would have never thought to make and it was incredible. Thank you!
You can brown you meatballs in skillet or set in round pyrex in microwave for a few minutes before completing..
It's moisture factor with spices that makes a ball. I always prepare my onions in butter first to glaze and soften
Moose meatballs with Rao’s marinara looks delicious.🥰
I'm a veggie watching moose being cooked! Good to see the broccoli stalks being used so many people throw it but its packed with vitamins and so good. I like that your channel is real life, warts and all and not put on/acting for the camera.
Glad you enjoy it and the realness of it all. Crooked and smudged cameras included!
Funny as thats my favorite part of the broccoli.
I hate the stalks they are tough and stringy. You can enjoy them for me..
Always bake the meatballs in the oven first. Then, put them in the hot sauce.
Use bourbon as your alcohol for making vanilla, it is better. Bourbon is all I use now. Also vacuum seal cookie dough that you are putting in the freezer for longer storage.
I recently found your AK cruise videos and have started watching your others... you are the first I randomly came across who has the same fridge and stove I do (except mine is electric)! I love my fridge! Only have had it a few months since kitchen remodel. I have been using Rao's for years, I love it... but I have noticed the sugar/carb content go up quite a bit on the label. Not sure if they originally labeled it wrong or something changed. It helps (especially with lean meats and when we skip the bread crumbs sometimes too... I know I know lol) to sear the meatballs in a pan before adding to the crockpot. I think they stay together a bit better, and this starts them cooking before hand. Lovely family!
Love your personality and your content! Thanks for sharing your life.
You are so welcome!
This made me so hungry and everything looks so good. It’s always great to see kids learning how to cook.
First time seeing emirate in his glasses.. looks so cool 😎 👌 😍
This video was just awesome , I would love to find a moose cut out but none here in South Carolina
I keep my hole fresh ginger in the freezer and peeled when it’s time for a ginger I use a micro plane to grade filling in all into whatever I am cooking works great. Love your show.
Great tip! Love ginger
Thank you for the valentine card, it made my day. I had to show it to my husband.
I’m so glad I found your channel! Really enjoying your videos. Greetings from Wisconsin!
So glad to have you here Wendy! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed spending time with us.
love the butter wrapper tip! my fave tip is using a trash bowl while i’m cooking, or else our kitchen becomes a disaster. 🤪 love these videos!
Brown first. I then always cook mine with the sauce in the instapot. They come out great .
everytime crock pot open u have to add 15 additional mins. I'd finish in oven or do whole recipe in oven or low all day a leave n forget meal
I personally definitely put my meatballs in a fry pan and brown them really good and then in the crock pot for a good long while!
I have made this sugar cookie also we use the frosting and put out chopped fresh fruit in bowls around cookies let them ice their own cookie with some fresh fruit on top. Always a hit with everyone❤
Lauren everything looked delicious. You make everything look so easy.
The cookies turned out amazing. So happy to see the boys help.
Thank you for sharing you're videos with us. I really enjoy them.
Looking forward to more videos. 💕💜❤️
What a fantastic video, thank you for sharing the recipes, the cookies looked so yummy .... and I just love Miss Luna she is so cute..... thank you and keep up the great content 😊
Thank you for sharing your amazing meals 😁😁
1:40 Hey Lauren, I loved this video and watching all the ways you cook your meat. Meatballs are a creative way to a dinner many different ways.
Thank you so much for the valentines card ❤❤❤
Lucky we got all four recipes. Thank you great video as always. ✌🏻💜
Y’all eat so good and tasty !! Love how Mark likes to cook !! Your boys are learning to cook and be helpful in the kitchen! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Everything looked great, your son at the end with the socks was hilarious 🤣
Loved all the recipes and will definitely do the stuffed meatballs. The egg roll in a bowl is a great idea to get lots of vegetables into kids, but your children seem to enjoy everything, you’ve done a great job with that. ❤
In culinary school we used spiced dark rum for vanilla it was incredible!
Hi friends, I love seeing you use the products that subscribers send the Fish fry and cobbler mix looked fantastic!! The box of treats from Illinois was so special, you are the most grateful family on You Tube, the boys' gratitude is an absolute credit to both you and Mark. Hope you have a wonderful Galentines day celebration with your Friends ❤️
Deconstructed egg rolls how cool and different that looks really delicious 😋
I usually brown off my meatballs. Sometimes I fry them and other times I put them in the oven which is the easiest. Glad your turned out ok. Take care. Thank you for sharing✌️🇺🇸❤️
I never made meatball subs before. After watching your video, I think I will try it. I love egg roll in a bowl, diferent recipe but quick and easy. How nice for you to have someone else make dinner once in awhile.
I’m walkin on cheddar 😂😂😂
I use a cookie dough medium scoop, just scoop (use any size u want) level it off & drop on cookie sheet to brown Oven 30 min add to sauce that’s been cooking saves like lots of time
The meatballs looked amazing!! I haven’t tried to find moose here in AZ. 😂 I think I’ll use bison. Thanks Lauren!!❤
Bison would be great or just beef!
Pork mince makes delicious meatballs...yummy
I usually cook my meatballs on a cookie sheet and then add them to the sauce. Looks good 👍🏻💓
Hi there, I'm new to your channel and loving it. I've never tasted Moose meat, I live in Scotland so its not a meat that's traditional to us. Great you have your children involved in the cooking process and your husband seems to know his way around the kitchen too. Looking forward to future videos.
I have noticed if I have a protein smoothie for breakfast I am not hungry till lunch. Sometimes in the afternoon when it is snack time I also drink a protein smoothie.
New subscriber from Oregon! Great video!❤️
Welcome!! Thank for watching. We hope you enjoy a little of this Alaska life
I make my own vanilla every year, it makes wonderful gifts for family and friends, I start it 6 months after I start the last gallon. It is wonderful.
What flavor do you use as a base? I saw someone use spiced rum and can't imagine what that would taste like.
LOVE this video content!!!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Hey girl! Love your channel. In the kitchen I worked we grated the ginger then squeezed the juice out and used the juice. No chewy chunks of ginger in your food.btw you put the grated ginger into cheesecloth twist and squeeze the juice out!
Lauren the meatballs looked off the charts good,however brown them in a pan first,it precooks them and makes them hold together better when stirring,but,I would eat half a dozen now lol🇨🇦♥️👍
They were the BEST meatballs I have ever eaten. I will for sure be making them again.
I do my meatballs in the crockpot for 4 hours on high. I am going to try your recipe, they look good!
The meals & cobbler looked delicious. Only thing I do different than you, I've always cooked my meatballs first before adding the sauce. Loved the ending with the macaroni socks!
Great tip on the meatballs, I am going to do that the next time I make them. He was so funny with the socks!
❤ your video content!! I watch every video!! God bless
Your kitchen time with us is more and more comfortable and we can see that Beautiful Lauren more and more as you chit chat😊 Please keep them coming🫶🏻
Enjoyed the video
That looks delicious
Have you ever tried the KaChava powder? It is a plant based powder with everything you need. I have a smoothy. every morning and it is delicious . I add ice, banana, almond milk and peanut butter. My stomach doesn't process food very well so Kachina has really been wonderful for me. It also comes in different flavors.
awesome video thank you for sharing love from pa
All the food looks great! I had that oil dispenser and after a few washes it leaked oil. Hopefully they fixed that 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Great young men.❤
Thank you!! And thanks for watching
My nanna use to add corn starch to her sugar cookie recipe 😋 😍
Your crockpot was very full so it would take at least four hours on high to cook the meatballs. Also someone suggested browning first which would help with flavor and the cooking process. Every time you remove the crockpot lid it takes about 20 minutes to get it back up to cooking temperature.
You could have put them in the oven to half bake them, they looked great!
I would also suggest browning the meatballs first. You could do them in some oil in a skillet or under the broiler. They will cook faster and also be less likely to break apart.
Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️
It's a sunny, yet chill, 63°F here in Virginia. We've got the house opened up. I'm not complaining, but to be honest, I'd trade it for a blizzard right about now. They're predicting a few inches of snow on Sunday... I'll take it, but I won't hold my breath ❄️
I don't know why it's so hard for me to just type a short comment... too many good things to comment about I guess. I hope you don't mind my ramblings 😊
I'd love to try some Moose meat. I've had Bison, Deer, Rattlesnake, Alligator and Frog Legs, but no Moose or Caribou. I wouldn't eat Bear, nor some of the aforementioned because, for us, they're not Kosher. Those meatballs looked yummy. Next time, pre-saute them in a cast iron skillet, then add to the sauce; slow cook for 4-6 hours or stovetop until cooked to desired temp. Rao's sauce is delicious. If you are adding canned diced tomatoes to your jarred sauce, pour the juice into the Rao's jar to get all the bits. It's better than water. Cute pasta 🍝
Always nice to see Mark and the boys in the kitchen. Mark is the most relaxed cook ever. LoL. Great job on the fish and cobbler. The Cajun Box has a lot of tasty mixes. If you like a little Cajun kick, buy a can of "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning. I put that stuff on fowl, fish, rice, potatoes... anything really. Interesting choice for a cobbler... the banana not the apples. My favorite is a good old fashioned Peach Cobbler. Before baking, sprinkle with Turbinado sugar for a little sweet crunchy texture 😋
I'll have to try your sugar cookie recipe. The frosting shortcut is a great idea. I'd make vanilla, chocolate, strawberry frostings (or other flavors) and set it out with a variety of add-ons: crushed nuts, sprinkles, mini M&Ms, etc. A Sugar Cookie Bar 🍪
Egg Roll in a Bowl. Interesting. I'll have to try. Yes, you can use a spoon to peel ginger, or when I can't find ginger or don't feel like peeling, I use Ginger Paste... found in the produce section 🍚
You've got me wanting to make more homemade Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Paste. I guess I'll be heading to the ABC store for Vodka and over to Amazon to order vanilla beans 🤔
My two favorite "healthy shakes" are:
Protein Shake: Chocolate Whey Protein Powder, Almond Milk, Collagen, and frozen Bananas 🍫🍌
Green Shake: Dr Schultz's Superfood, Collagen , Flax Seed, 2T concentrated Orange Juice, frozen Bananas, frozen Mixed Berries (Blueberry, Blackberry and Strawberry), cold water 🥬🍊
I love your cooking/baking videos, especially when the family is involved. More please 😁
Bennett is a hoot 🦉
Hi Miss Luna... head scratches and hugs you beautiful Lil Snuggle-bug 😻
Have a great day. Yah's Blessings ❤️
What distinguishes one meat from another as being kosher or not?
@@marykoufalis7666 , must have split hooves and chew the cud (mammals); must have both fins and scales (fish). There are other, more in-depth determinations, but that's an easy start. We're Kosher, but not Rabbinical/Orthodox Kosher. We don't follow a Rabbi and we're not Jewish. We're Messianic Hebrew Roots.
@@SusanMatthews_TiteChatte So no seafood correct? Since birth until present I have lived in a heavily Jewish Orthodox neighbourhood in Montreal. I'm very familiar with many of the rules and laws but once in awhile something new comes up. Thank you for answering my question. Be well.
@@marykoufalis7666 , you're very welcome, and correct, no seafood (shellfish and the like). Yah's Blessings.
Great video ❤️❤️
Thanks for watching! We’re grateful you’re here.
Almost 30,000 Subscribers! 👍👍
Usually you brown and cook the meatballs first, then put them in the sauce. 😊
Question: What brand of protein powder do you use, and do you like it? Your moose meatballs looked 😋
Glad others added to brown the meatballs. Lol I still thought yours liked so yummy!! Question where did you get your containers at your smoothie station?? Are they glass? Love them!!
I was going to day the same. Next time brown the meatballs in a frying pan first or you can even bake them in the oven. It also cooks of some of the grease but in your case there is probably little with the meat being so lean. I use to do the frying pan way until I tried baking them. So much faster, easier and just as good. I make them often and freeze them. I have yet to find a store brand as good was mine...LOL!
Everything looked wonderful!!!! I am going to need to put a box together for you. I am actually from 2 states as I know many are. The one I was raise in and the one I currently live. Both have 2 very specific items they are known for. I will work on it. I am curious to how you and the family will like them. I will include more information when I send.
I liked the box from Illinois. I'm from Illinois and never heard of the Mac and cheese gummies. The Beer Nuts from Bloomington IL is about a hour and half away and rare to find them where I live in Canton, which is near Peoria Illinois. I'm going to have to look for those gummies.
I know you ordered a white fridge but that blue/white is really growing on me ... 💙💙
Agreed…
It would have been better if you brown your meatballs first. You should always brown any ground meat that you cook in the rock pot such as pasta sauce or crackpot lasagna etc
When you going to get your new fridge doors they taking along time xxxx
End of February was always the date, so hopefully by the end of this month!
I like the coloured doors.
So pleased love I forgot xxxx love you meals xxxx you made me fill Hungry lol😂 but going out for dinner xxx
Great full to you to for all your hard work xxxxx
If you brown your meatballs first they get a crust and dont fall apart and cook quicker
I’m in the uk and I love this recipe with ground beef….I would say maybe make them smaller and they would definitely cook in about 2 1/2 hours
Try browning meatballs and I do mine 4hrs on high but I use ground beef don't know how different that is texture wise compared to moose
I make this too ill used ground pork n or ground chicken
I have an amazing sugar cookie recipe that requires no rolling or refrigerator. We call them "evil" sugar cookies because you can't stop eating them.
I think there were too many in there to cook that fast. They looked delicious.
Thoroughly enjoyed it By Luna,💕

You are amazing woman and your family is more than wonderful, what a love, loyalty and discipline, big love and 💋 from Split, Dalmatia!
