Family of 12 🥰 What we eat in a week! Dinner Edition: Quick, Economical, Large Family Meals ❤️

What we eat in week as a family of 12 living in NYC. It's always a bit of a challenge to keep everyone fed and happy, but still not bust the budget or resort to unhealthy or processed ingredients. We love soups and stews because they are a great option for our family because sometimes the older kids are coming and going from college or the gym. Also Naomi is so good at punctuating the week with the yummy desserts she makes! Marc usually helps me with dinner which is so sweet! #largefamilylife #familyof12 #largefamilymeals #momof10

    These videos are my favorite! I’m 45 and a busy mom to an 18 month old, a 14 year old and a 16 year old - so your shared recipes have come in handy! I also LOVE your homemade ranch recipe, have made it at least 1x per week since you posted it and just wanted to share that I never have buttermilk on hand, but instead add a capful of vinegar to my milk and let it sit for a few minutes before adding the ranch ingredients- it works as a great substitute to buttermilk 😊

Young Enoch and Noah always in the background with the outgoing siblings constantly in the limelight- perhaps E and N prefer it that way??? It’d be good to see the boys cook a meal and the odd cake!! Josiah certainly likes his and everyone else’s meat, doesn’t he??? Naomi is multi talented, especially at 15- many congrats and hope you had a great b’day!!! Love from England 👍⭐️🥳🎂❤️

    I cook my chicken for BBQ on top of the stove. I then add the BBQ and put it in the oven. Cuts the oven time way back. For your "wacky" oven, this may be an idea for future BBQ. Also, you can save the stove top chicken juice, lol, for a delicious soup of the week.

    What a pointless comment. I'm sure they make enough for everyone. No one is going without. It doesn't look like anyone is starving. Really, are your rude comments going to change the way someone eats ? Perhaps your time could be better spent by seeing the good about people's lives. Obviously, the older kids need more food than the littles. I don't understand why you think how many pieces of chicken someone eats is any of your concern.
