What are some of your kids favorites?! Thanks for watching!!
My son use it like peanut butter and ham sandwiches 🤷♀️
Boil the pasta with oil and salt . Then they will be oily and nothing sticks to them .

Great video!!!❤🎉
Looks good I have a 17 yr old grandson I'm raising he eats like no tomorrow but he's a simple eater thank you for the tips love your videos ❤️❤️
Best trick I’ve found for making sure cream cheese dissolves into a sauce is throwing it in the microwave for about 30 seconds before mixing it into the hot sauce. It microwaves better if it’s already at room temp, but it works fine if you’re anything like me and forget to take it out early enough, lol 💜 Lmk if you try it!
Btw, i think your ex’s mom knew what she was talking about, I was taught in culinary school to always crush dried herbs like that before adding them to whatever I was cooking
My kids loved tortillas, so wraps, quesadillas, pb&j pinwheels, pb& fruit pinwheels, and tortilla pizzas/rollups. Life saver for days when we were super busy with school & sports. They also loved to snack on fruit dipped in cream cheese dip, fruit kabobs, deviled eggs, zesty pasta salad with added tuna, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and black olives. Homemade Lunchables & Uncrustables were also a hit.
Question? When you can your stuff u take the cap off and just leave the top on? I see this on other channels I am just wondering if it's a preference or a scientific must do? I never canned before so I find this interesting
Have a good Memorial Day! Before I forget, I love how you start you video with all the beauty around you, the view of the mountains WOW!!! The sky and around where you live🥰. Thank you for sharing 😊. Really enjoy all you do!! Take care Love Pam
I know what you mean about your growing kid's appetites increasing, I can relate! You did well stretching those pasta meals out, they looked really hearty and filling😊
❤❤❤🎉🎉FABULOUS VIDEO. BEAUTIFUL 🎉🎉❤❤❤
I put cream cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds and whip it with a whisk. Stir until it’s nice and creamy, then put in your dish.
Great quick dishes❤❤❤must be nice to wake up and see those beautiful mountains
Carolina your kids lunches looked delicious! Oh & I got to say Montana has such beautiful Scenery awesome !
It all looks real good! One of my kiddos' favorite lunch is beanie weenies with corn bread.
My husband made spaghetti with bacon in it ! The pickiest grand dtr told him you not supposed to put bacon in spaghetti! Lol
Some brands of cream cheese I can't seem to get to melt completely, others melt just fine.
I take some broth or whatever your mixture is, add cream cheese and blend then add back to the pot
Hi Carolina….great ideas here. Great video.
I think there was too much water content in the soup and cheese wont mix into water and it sort of splits.
I truly love how adventerous you are
I don't add the shells until l have already made the made the cheese mixture l also use half cup of puree butternut squash into the cheese mixture. After the cheese mixture is in corporated l had the sheels
I use 1/2 cup butternut squash in the boxed Mac and cheese. Just use same directions as box says. I add the squash in the cheese mixture before adding the noodles. I don't eat it any other way now. The butternut takes the box kind to a whole new level. The squash is pureed.
You can mix the cheese with milk and butter separately and then pour over the pasta
My kids fave lunches were grilled cheese or tuna sandwiches. But that was like 30 yrs ago. Lol
With Mac and cheese, I drain the pasta then melt a tablespoon of butter in the pot with the milk and cheese before adding the pasta back in. That solves the powdered cheese not dissolving problem. I often throw in frozen peas with the pasta while it boils
Hello Carolina I have been very busy in the garden and relandscaping my front yard I need to go back and catch up on some youtube that i have missed my kids go to quick lunch is doctored up kraft Mac and cheese and since i have been so busy there has been some Kraft mac n cheese going down for dinner as well. Hope yu have a great week!
I don't always get to comment, but I always watch your videos. I love all that you share, and I appreciate the humor, the realism, and most importantly the time, effort and energy you take to pour into your family. Thanks for sharing your greatness, I'm so glad I found this channel! Xoxo
Mixing the powder before adding to pasta helps.
When my children were young, they loved making their own pizza. Using their individual preferences made each one specific to their creative tastes. ❤
Pizza seasoning was a great idea to add. Makes sense,I just never thought of adding it to pasta dishes 😋
Beautiful opening, the mountain view background is relaxing to look at.
A dish my husband loved was pasta with tomato soup(concentrated) and American cheese mixed in and melted😊
Dissolve the cheese with some warm milk 🙂
I think it's quality of cream cheese, depends if it's thickened with likes of gums etc
Garlic toast will taste good also with the spaghetti
Ramen with some soy sauce and a bag of frozen vegetables. It’s yummy
Mix the sauce before you mix it with the shells.
If you take the powder cheese and mix it with the milk before you add it to the hot macaroni it mixes better …. hope that helps
Great pasta video for kiddos! A trick for blending the sauce packets-milk, butter, pkg cheese, plus a slice or two of sandwich cheese (optional) in microwave and blend. Then add to your pasta. All my adult grandkids do this now. It even makes the very cheap Mac and cheese taste much better, and nuke it in your measuring cup so no extra dish to wash. Thanks, Carolina 🥰
