As a kid, I was a tad bit jealous of the other kids whose parents bought them lunchables and sugary cereals. Now, I realize how much my mom loved us ( not that those parents don’t, but still ) to cook my brother and I breakfast and lunches to take to school every day, she even made desserts for us to take. I was really blessed and didn’t know it.

"These are everyday muffins I don't have time for that" As a mom of 3 that cooks almost everything for my family I resonate with that so deeply. Thank you for highlighting recipes and techniques to feed a family well, rather than show off for parties.

I’ve followed you for years and years (back when you were Brothers Green!) and even remember your super tiny functional kitchen! I’ve also got 2 young kids and It’s been so great to be in the same life stages as you… it’s like you’re evolving with me and your videos are exactly what I need at the time! Always love your content!

I love these uncomplicated healthy feed-your-family recipes :)
You definitely have been key to helping me feel more confident in the kitchen. I was never taught to cook and learned from you and your brother over the past several years. You don't just teach recipes and techniques, you have taught me how to not be afraid of the kitchen and cooking beyond a recipe.

I am from Germany and however stereotypical it may seem, a slice of a delicious healthy bread with some butter and cheese will always be my go to. We have many small independent bakeries who care for their products and as a student, having to eat some breakfast on the the go often, they make my life so much easier. Bread in itself is such a crazy thing, so many different ways to make it and put flavor into it. Recently I’m really hooked on carrot bread with the crust covered in seeds;)

I live in Turkey and here the go to weekday breakfast is cheese, olives, eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes, fresh bread and tea. You can find this breakfast at every home in the morning. If you get bored, you make a grilled cheese sandwich in a panini maker. Or you make an omelet, or menemen (Google menemen, it is soooo good). Turkish breakfast is mostly savory, and if you want something sweet, you have honey or some jam. I'm working and I'm a mom and it takes 10 minutes to make the tea and set the table. Nowadays with so much spring fruits, I make smoothies too, which adds an international twist. I rarely make pancakes too but only at weekends.

You are very lucky to have such a big garden.

maybe this only applies to American people. I'm Asian (Filipino) and in our household it's always a mix of the following - bread (hot pandesal), fried/rice, pancakes, eggs (choose your preference), longganisa, hotdog, peanut butter, coffee/hot choco, orange juice, SPAM (for you guys, those are dark times. for us, we love it) tapa (beef) tocino, bangus.

16:54 I love this video! As a young Baby Boomer (61) I was cooking healthy food for my family from the get-go! Cookies were filled with fibre. Muffins were made with lots of fibre (flax, etc) and pulp from my champion juicer. “Ice cream” was made with frozen fruit sent through the champion juicer. Vitamix became our most used appliance for making green monster shakes, vegetable soups, and nut milks. I was doing “hot-cold salads” (what you guys call Buddha bowls, I think). And depending where we lived I had a large vegetable garden. I ground fresh wheat from the farmers when we lived on the prairies (no gluten allergies) and also got into sourdough and regular yeast bread, experimenting with flours like rye and spelt. It truly has been fun watching your videos from the early Brothers Green morphing into your current style, which I just love!! The only thing I have not been able to do yet is raise our own laying hens (municipal by-laws). Again, I just love the current iteration of your videos. Love the dad cooking for his family, love the humour, enjoyed the graphics too! ❤

When the littlest girl puts the scrambled eggs in her mouth, smiles and looks at the chef with love and admiration before approvingly rocking in her chair.. nuff said.

[ProHomeCooks]

FYI - theres a full recipes link in the description for the muffins since that's the most complex recipe out of the four.

"cooking beyond a recipe", as one person wrote here: yes!!!! thank you so much for all your teachings! I love how you teach us not to be afraid of a recipe and just cook from the heart, so to speak. and your girls are adoooorable!

[TheChewyleaf]

Those muffins are great, made them this week! I normally skip breakfast and now I can grab one and eat it on my way to work - game changer

I really enjoy your channel and the enthusiasm you have for cooking. Even though I'm a vegetarian and you often cook with meat, I watch to get your take on new ideas in the kitchen and things to try. For years my breakfast go-to was cold (non-sugary) cereal but recently I switched to smoothies to up my protein count. Yes, the powder doesn't help the flavour but a fresh banana and frozen blueberries help.

Savoury oats is my go-to. I add extra water to give it a more congee like consistency and flavour it with dashi and soy sauce. Toppings consist of things like:

ground flax seeds, ​white pepper, soft boiled eggs, frozen spinach, chilli oil, pork floss, furikake, roasted sesame seeds, shichimi, green onions crispy, fried onions or tonkatsu sauce

Leftover shredded chicken also makes a good addition as well

I've been watching your channel for years, long before the rebrand. I'm so impressed by how much you've grown! Love seeing you cooking for your family now. I'm amazed by how much you're able to manage at once with the animals and the garden, the kids, the cooking, the channel, etc. I'm not sure I could handle it all, but you really seem to be in your element. I hope your family and your brother are well. Thank you for continuing to share your work ❤

Just a little tip for people that try to produce as much food as possible themselves: Mashed Apples (applesauce without added sugar) are also really nice to for example to sweeten pancakes. It's really delicious :) thanks for your videos!

[fightme]

We were both lucky and unlucky to be 1st generation immigrants from Cambodian with a vibrant diaspora in Long Beach, CA. I don’t remember eating processed foods very much, only as a rare treat. Grandpa, aunty or dad was always cooking with whole food.

I know it’s filler in the strict definition, but have rice on hand at all times really saved the day!

Great video!

The base and technique for your banana nut muffins is great! I've adapted it quite a bit to suit me and it worked out surprisingly well. Now I'm healthifying other recipes I have using the same concept. What I appreciate is you teaching cooking/baking, rather than how to make just one recipe. It makes me more versatile and confident in experimenting without wasting too much money, as I've been known to do in the past. I also like that the muffin recipe is small, so even if I do mess up, it's not such a huge loss. Thank you!

[MandalaBunnyhome]

I make healthy muffins all the time since they freeze so well! Oat and almond flour, yogurt, berries, nuts, shredded apple or carrots...soo many options
