WHAT WE EAT IN A WEEK: *Italian family* edition

WHAT DO KITCHENS LOOK LIKE IN ITALY? WHAT DO *ITALIANS*. EAT IN A WEEK? If you happen to ask yourself this kind of questions, then this video is for you!
Since the beginning of January my family and I have started to take really good care of our food habits and thanks to a lot of SUPER EASY AND SUPER TASTY RECIPES not only has our diet improved, but also spending time in our kitchen has become more fun... ITALIAN STYLE!
Here's what we had this week:
-MONDAY: grilled chicken breast with boiled chard / vegetable vellutata;
-TUESDAY: pasta with pumpkin and mushrooms / vegetable pie;
-WEDNESDAY: lentil stew with green beans / cheesy chicken bites with grilled radicchio;
-THURSDAY: sea breams al cartoccio / beef tagliata with mixed salad;
-FRIDAY: monkfish alla mediterranea with peas / zucchini mushrooms rice.

And about the veggies... my family is a little obsessed with always having veggies on the side hahah 😅🙈 But yes, it's actually good for you at the end of the day!

    The problem in North America is the education around food in early childhood. There is a « so long my child eats mentality » which leads parents to feed too much sugar to their kids and make no effort for cooking. Children meals/menus have no colors. If you didn’t eat veggies at a young age, it will be hard to get the habit once you grow up.

    I love this. I feel like what you guys do so well is you just take simple healthy ingredients, and you put them together into a human sized portion, in a simple way, and it's fantastic. It doesn't take that much to cook food during the week. How long did it take you to cook your soup and chicken? 20 minutes? It was like 4 ingredients. People in the US just seem to overthink cooking and eating. It's something that's just in the way of being productive rather than a part of every day that we should take time to enjoy. Most people I know just order take out most nights. I know some people who just eat fast food every day for lunch. It's kind of sad. :( I know it's just normal to you but I really wish that was the case here. People wouldn't be so obese.

    I really appreciate your point of view and observation, I think it presents some interesting food for thought (apropos of food haha 😚). Italian food habits and diets have a lot of cons as well, I have to say. But I believe that the good side of being exposed to influences - like it happens in platforms like this one - is that at the end of the day we have the chance to see different aspects of cultures from literally all over the world, so we can take the good and then make it become part of our own lifestyle. Thank you again for your interesting comment! 🎈

We have tooons of flavour and spices in our food ( even the simplesssst meals) but this right here looked so tasty 😍 i can imagine myself eating this food almost everyday without feeling like the food is too bland(except the meat. I never tasted it in my entire life 😂 and probably won't). So realistic yet looks so apetizing.

    I grew up in in New York but I am Italian American and this is very similar to how I grew up eating. People think Italians eat all these heavy unhealthy foods like Lasagna and Chicken Parm every night but the truth is most days we ate tons of vegetables, definitely not meat everyday, fish once a week, and of coarse we are not shy of carbs. Lots of pasta and yes, grated cheese went on almost everything. In my family it was always Locatelli Pecorino Romano but that grana padano looks bomb.

Your site and "What's for Tea" are the only cooking/family links that we have favored! A funny story: When we were engaged, I challenged her to a Spaghetti Sauce cook-off with a blind study with two married couples of our friends. Her father, 2nd generation Italian of course, called me "a foolish man" :-)) because I challenged an Italian, cooking her Grandmother's Sicilian family recipe...she won hands down!

I'm in England and in our house we tend to have breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12pm or 1pm, and dinner anywhere from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. I'm liable to have small snacks in-between meals if I'm hungry, like fruit, a couple of crackers with cheese, or a biscuit (sweet, as in a cookie).

    First time watching a video from Barbs - Lovely Italian girl and English is so good I kept forgetting she's Italian. All the food looked very good, before she said it I was surprised was no bread or other type of similar accompaniment with the non-pasta dishes. All the dishes looked nice and simple and clean. I wonder if the eggplant/zucchini would have turned out better everythying was laying flat and layered - more like a lasagna or moussaka and make besciamella let it cool a little and add the egg slowly (temper a bit with a little sauce then add to the rest).

    Good job! We call the hand food processor an immersion blender 😉, and olive "bones" ,pits. My family also used to make tilapia fillets (the recipe called for trout), with breadcrumb, lemon, butter "stuffed" between the two pieces,baked wrapped in foil,served with mashed potatoes - maybe artichoke side.

    Here it is lunch at 12 and dinner at 18:00. Lunch is typically bread with cheese, ham or any other topping, usually 2 or 3 slices, occasionally we make a salad. Dinner is the only warm meal of the day (usually so in the Netherlands) and its not unlike what you cook, always with plenty veggies ;) I do like to cook Italian, but also Mexican and my favourite, Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Thai :))
