Loved Dave starting into the kitchen 46 seconds in, realized Christine is filming, and backs out quickly!

You standing at the pantry 😆 been there many of times.
When the kids were young I invented a thing called “ Snack Night” basically it was just chips, cereal and whatever. I just flung it on the table and everyone loved it. Not the the most nutritious dinner but every so often you got to what you gotta do.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who stands in the pantry like that 😆

Tip for the best ever pizza- bake the dough alone for 2-3 minutes and then add the toppings! It is sooo good:)

Haha Dave in the background realizing he’s about to interrupt your video and backing back out of frame. 🤣

I like crispy-on-outisde, soft-inside crust (I make my own) and have learned the trick is to pre-bake the crust for about 10-15min (first poke holes, brush the whole thing with olive oil, sprinkle the edges with garlic salt and Italian seasoning). Makes for such a perfect crust and keeps the toppings from overcooking.

Pasta "fa-zool". Immortalized in "That's Amore" by Dean Martin... “When the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool.”

[Mimi-vwjh]

Fun video idea for you... Restaurant copycat for less. The recipe that I recommend is olive garden zupta Toscana soup. So easy, so yummy!

Weird but delicious pizza tips - all of them need a really thinly rolled out dough, basically different versions of a "Tarte Flambee":
1. Mix creme fraiche with a little bit of salt. Top with onions, goat cheese slices and rosmary. Drizzle with honey when it's done.
2. Make a sauce with creme fraiche, garlic, olive oil (and a little bit of chili poweder). Top with chicken, onions and cheese.
3. Sour cream topped with onions and thinly sliced bacon (which is the original recipe)

I love your content. I have seen other moms who tried to act too spastic and unorganized to be cute. Or others who make you feel like they’re perfect and never get anything wrong. You’re the prefect in-between. 💜💜💜

Christine your dishes look all delicious I want you to make an Irish stew, the way my family have always made it, obviously lots of potato, lamb, onion a few carrots, a few mushrooms, parsnip and my family puts in a little bit of garlic dont think thats authentic but it made its way here . We sear the meat first then put it aside the fry the carrots, use a little red wine to de glaze. Add carrots after removing then onions, after they looked precooked add the mushrooms and potatoes . Add a mixture of herbs . I use mixed herbs because thats what we mainly have . We add a bit of gravy and salt . Most Irish families we just add what is leftover into a pot and call it a stew so there is no specific recipe

I love the "Better than Bouillon" line of stuff. I mostly use the beef one. Costco usually has the low sodium organic version. I found it easier to use than a carton of broth if I don't make my own.

[CrazySunny]

Peanut butter toast is such a yummy snack! I eat it when I feel a headache coming on, and it is perfectly enough that my medicine won't upset my stomach. I also love how honest you are. Not sure which rice, so let's guess. haha. Your recipes always look and taste
amazing!

[sewwawa]

Haha the people saying you put too much seasoning must be from up north or something because us Louisianians say that looks just right ✅

[DaferrFN]

I have to say Christine... I don't use most of your recepies, the hauls in Swizerland are not at all like yours but you habe been a breath of fresh air for me since this whole corona thing started.
Thank you for sharing so much with us.

[pamim]

I love that we hide in the pantry and in the microwave thank you

[mandimarie]

Yeah it got awkward. 😄😆😋 (I always stay to the end, like a marvel movie you never know if there’s an after credit sequence.) 🤗💕

The pasta fagioli my grandmom used to make was very simple. 2 onions sliced in circles, sautéed in lots of butter add 2 cans of canelllini beans with juice and in separate pot cook Ditalini pasta per instructions on box. Throw pasta In with beans. I usually top it with locatelli cheese(Romano cheese.) So simple but so good. And brings me right back to my childhood. Love your hair!! So pretty!!

[katherinekeitholsen]

I see the crickets have arrived in your pantry, I've got them in my fridge too. Your pronunciation of orecchiette (little ears) was perfect. Now, the peppers are pepper-on-cini... I believe "floofy" is an official culinary term, well done. Dinners look tasty!

[barbaraconnolly]

I am so glad you served the pasta dish with sides to decrease the processed carb loading and ad micro nutrients. Looked delishy.
