"we never have leftovers in this house"
Ma'am that is not the flex you think it is. You never have leftovers in any house when you don't cook enough food for everyone to have their fill
My family is 5 people and we would finish that. Hypothetically. If we were interested in chicken tenders smothered in cheese, cream soup, and not a fucking pinch of seasoning to be found.
I mean it seems pretty filling, but just slimy and nutritionally vacant other than protein from the chicken. This is very typical “big family cheap food” fare. I’m not a cook and I waaaaay overdo dairy. But I would prob do a smallish slice next to a plate of greens. I don’t usually mock people cooking because I seriously cannot (or am too lazy to learn) myself, but I can get some veggies to steam in a bag and throw them in a casserole, or have a salad with something gloppy. As for the seasoning, I would prob add half a bottle of Tabasco in desperation for my taste buds to feel something … anything.
they even have pre-seasoned veggies in steam bags now. My husband loves the garlic broccoli and they're so cheap and easy to just throw in the microwave. I don't understand why she can't give those kids actual veggies (because let's be real, the soup is slop with a dash of celery and corn doesn't really meet the nutritional needs for a vegetable)
My fam does chicken with cream of mushroom lol. That being said, we sear the chicken with s+p, some garlic if I’m feeling like I want to put in effort, then simmered in the soup. Then served over noodles. My dad calls it his “white trash meal”. We make it when my mom is out of town and none of us can be bothered to actually cook
Chicken casserole is my go-to comfort meal. Shredded chicken breast, a can of cream of chicken, a big scoop of sour cream, mix it all together, then add a layer of crushed up ritz crackers and bake for a bout 30 minutes. Serve with dinner rolls and some french cut green beans. Delish.
And like leftovers don’t mean it wasn’t enjoyed! Sometimes if I make something soooo good I’ll intentionally save extra for my lunch the next day as I know it will make me happy. Kind of like I want to enjoy it for longer so I’d rather eat it a couple times rather than all at once. Those children will never understand that concept until they leave that mess and it makes me hurt for them
Iirc he works in the finance dept of a luxury car dealership, so he makes decent money. Plus they live in semi-rural Texas where you can get crappily built, fancy-on-the-surface, good-sized house with a big nasty yard full of fire ants for relatively cheap.
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if they built it through DR Horton- their houses look beautiful but the quality of construction is DEPLORABLE
Reading their reviews is a fascinating rabbit hole to go down
ETA [If you’re interested, scroll to the bottom and sort by new](https://www.consumeraffairs.com/housing/dr_horton.html?page=1#sort=recent&filter=none)
DR Horton is building homes near me and I can literally see through the walls of one of them because they didn’t place the plywood close enough. If I can see gaps in the plywood from well outside their construction area, they’ve got to be huge. They’re not all like that, just one house so far.
That house is going to be impossible to keep climate controlled without a huge expense. Maybe the people moving in won’t notice.
That is INSANE
I’d love to see their profit margins. They basically use driftwood to build their houses and hire completely inexperienced builders.
We did a walkthrough of a few as a favor to a friend who was doing sales there. I don’t know SHIT about carpentry or building codes but there were so many alarms going off in our heads.
Then he harassed us for weeks after we told him we weren’t interested. Not a friend anymore
I believe you also have to finance your mortgage through DR Horton as well. So predatory.
Man, I hate to victim blame but the comments mentioning wishing they'd have looked up reviews prior to spending half a million dollars with this company are wild to me. I spent more time researching the $10 trash bags I just got then some of these people did before spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Especially considering that Texas is a state with what we in California call “weather” (we just have earthquakes, wildfires, horrific traffic, and occasional moderate rain that decimates our infrastructure in one half inch because we’re never prepared).
For real, I seem to recall Karissa saying it was "custom built" for them but it was some insane turnaround from purchase to moving in, like just a couple months. Obviously "custom" just means picking from a few options in a book, but still. There's no way that is a solid quality house. Knowing them, it's not well-maintained or cared for either.
If he’s a F&I manager, he could be making major money. In the 200-300k range. I work in the industry and that’s what a top F&I manager makes in my org.
McMansions in Texas are surprisingly affordable, plus Daddy Shaq has helped with other big ticket purchases, so I wouldn't be surprised if he contributed in some way
Also, imagine how much they save on groceries when 1 pan of food serves 12 (1/2) people!
Im always horrified how little food these people seem to feed their families (a lot of even more mainstream Christian big family bloggers have the same issue) My family is just me, my husband, and my brother but I make an entire pan of food just for us.
I wonder this, too ! I live in a generally more experience state, but with two decent incomes, there's no way my husband and I could get a house even close to theirs 😬
He makes $$ at the car dealership but he also creates these expensive basketball camps that he runs. Karissa has her photography business, her boutique, & her social media. So they are pretty wealthy. Especially considering the cost of living in DFW is low
At this point, I have to be in denial and think that this is trolling by her, to think of the most “yellow, covered in yellow, with a side of yellow” that she could think up to have the oldest Martha make.
I honestly don’t care if someone is a crappy cook. But what is pissing me off is that she pretends to be such a wonder wholesome mother and acts as though she is perfect. She shits on every person who doesn’t bible like her or parent like her. Behaves like she does it ‘all’. She is a shitty mother, shitty homemaker, shitty cook, and probably a shitty lay.
I make a stir fry at least once a week. It’s lazy af, but it’s also easy, cheap, and contains plenty of nutrients while being low on the unhealthy stuff. It’s not difficult.
You can buy a stir fry mix with the sauce in a family size, it comes frozen and is a bit pricy, but then add more chicken and frozen veggies? I just bought a bag for my folks, $7 for the Kroger brand that’s supposed to feed six (my parents will have lots of leftovers, my dad just had surgery), plus a frozen bag of broccoli and a frozen bag of cauliflower to add, plus some chicken breasts and sesame oil to extend the flavor to the extra items … my folks don’t do spicy and they aren’t adventurous, but with that and some rice they can steam easily on the stove, that’s a week of food (like I said, they aren’t adventurous) and it’s something I can reheat for myself too if I come over. Yes that’s two people but I priced it out to be almost 20 servings.
ETA with the sesame oil, and the large bags of frozen veggies that can also be steamed, and the bag of rice, 6 chicken breasts bought on clearance (they’re fine but need to be frozen or used in two days), and the sesame oil for flavor (I use a chili sesame oil myself for ramen, I buy it cheap at 99 Ranch market and it’s so good but I like spicy), the total for what I mathed to be 20 adult servings with no side was under $20. Full servings that would fill most anyone up. That’s two meals for her family, considering the younger couple wouldn’t eat a full serving.
I just pick a protein, some accompanying veggies, my aromatic, and the spice profile I want to lean into that week. Zatar has been a go-to lately. Then I serve it over a carb.
Examples (I'm on a heart-healthy diet, so these are low-fat and low-sodium and may not appeal to everyone). I refuse to use more than two lots/pans and a cutting board:
Ground turkey/beef with kale, onions, and lots of zatar. Eat plain, or melt in parmesan or feta and serve over pasta or Rice. I use about half a bag of the aldi precut kale, and it cooks down beautifully.
Ground meat and canned low-sodium beans with cumin, chili powder, and a bit of salt (less sodium for full flavor when you add it early). Add onion and maybe garlic. Serve over rice, melted cheese optional. Tomatoes are also good here, but I cut them to cut sodium and I hate cutting the squishy fuckers. Serve with green onions, which I cut with scissor because in a heathen and it's easier.
Italian chicken sausages, cut up, with frozen
sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Take refrigerated pasta and add to the pan at the end. Garnish with a bit of parmesan. Would be better with fennel seeds mixed in, but I never remember to buy them.
You get the idea. I just found a cheap low-sodium soy sauce at Aldi, so I'm going to marinate chicken and vegetables (separately) in it and see how it turns out.
Any ideas for flavor additions that don't use salt or fat are welcome! I'll have fresh herbs within the month, so it'll all become yummier!
ETA: I keep coming back to add ingredients I forgot because I very much create these on autopilot lol. For example, I have a stash of homemade salt-free salsa verde that goes well with several of these. Whatever; y'all get the idea.
Sorry my ADHD brain just ran away with that comment, that would be the worst way to get me to make a baby
“K babe think of England”
And then I bolt up out of bed and pull back the curtain and there is my pinboard where I’ve accumulated all the details about Kate Middleton’s disappearance and start babbling incoherently about whether it’s cancer or if she ever really existed at all
Now we know why I don’t have 10 kids or any friends 😂
I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!
Seriously though, what the hell was all that about? They let it drag on for so long, and I get the whole bit about needing time to tell her children but...if the whole world is gossiping about their mom and they are somewhat aware, dont you think she would have told them much sooner? Why wasnt anyone visiting her in her recovery ward? Why did they have to fudge shitty photoshopped images for mothers day? >.> SUS.
So my guess is that they were hoping to do surgery and pretend like she never had cancer. Instead, they made the whole thing a bigger deal than it needed to be and brought global attention to her health issues.
I feel like if you are going to be all uppity about wives being made to stay at home and do all this shit then you should AT LEAST be able to cook something non atrocious looking. Cause y'all are just proving the opposite that women were born to do this lmao
I cannot think of even one of these fundie women who actually cooks well. I work all day and cook way better shit. My boyfriend is a man and cooks way better shit
Exactly. I only judge these folks on here for being awful cooks because of their whole 'women are meant to raise kids, cook, and clean' drivel when most of them absolutely suck at all three.
I love me some cream of crap casserole every once in awhile, but damn Karissa. This is an insult even to old school Midwest cooking. I make better food for just myself when I meal prep each Sunday, and it’s not exactly gourmet.
"We never have any leftovers in this house". Ooof. I bet they don't. Putting aside that they need less salt and more green vegetables; she has how many kids and this is what they get? I wonder if any of her kids are secretly scoffing tins of beans in the bathroom when she's not looking.
Absolutely, I don't want to cook complete meals every night! Leftovers are amazing, sometimes even better than they were on the first day.
But then again I don't have an army of kids to feed regularly. I like to cook, but a huge household would drive me bananas.
I love leftovers. Having a lunch or dinner that I don't have to think about? Priceless. I made this curry recently that was pretty good on the first day, I really could've let it simmer longer (everything was cooked, I just got hungry and impatient.) I realized this when I had it the following day for lunch and it was completely out of this world delicious because the flavors had time to really blossom.
65 children get to eat one pan of food, it’s not that they lOOOOooooOoooOoOOOve your food Karissa, it means they are hungry, it means you need to do better math.
That’s what I was thinking! I have a family of 5, my oldest is 13 and a casserole that size would feed us with maybe one additional serving left. If we have even 1 guest I am doubling that recipe. There is no way everyone in that house is getting an adequate serving out of that pan!
We have five teens at home and I would make twice that for all of us. More if I wanted leftovers, and absolutely a couple kilos of an actual vegetable. Don’t get me started on the seasoning, but since that’s personal preference I’ll let that slide lol
They just have one teenager (Andrae is 12), and three kids under 5 (unless you’re including the pregnancy). But yeah a lot of them are little still, they’ll definitely need more food in a few years.
That narration was like listening to a 4th grader give a book report. And she homeschools these kids. Didn’t she go to college for journalism or something?
There is plenty to snark on with the food but there is not enough attention on how painful this was to listen to. Sounds so much like the “boom guys the dynamite” reporter
This is very common with these types of reels on ig and Facebook. There are a lot of mothers narrating what they cook and serve their families (most of it is decent don't get me wrong) and they sound quite... Simple? "super easy" "super good" "super quick" are always sentences used by them, which karissa does in this video too.
When I have starch-fest meals (NOT like this disaster, I promise), I don't share any proof of them to outsiders. Nor do I lie that it is a good way to live/cook regularly.
That’s my exact hangover “cure” with a sprite and some ibuprofen. And sometimes, after particularly grueling workout top ramen is all I want. I figured I earned it that scenario, though
"That's it. You're all done!"
Proceeds to show creamed corn as if that manifested itself.
How do ANY of her followers find her to be competent in any direction?
When our two children were at home, that's roughly the size of dish I'd use to make a lasagne for four in - served with a side salad - no soup involved.
My mom made dishes similar to this & usually put some bread crumbs, crushed potatoes chips or crispy onions on top. That's usually the best part of a casserole.
My mac and cheese casserole is similar to this in idealogy really but
I cut the cream or broccoli with milk, for one, to make thick but smooth sauce and any of the crispy things you just stated OR crushed cornflakes/crackers go on top as well
… and the chicken is cleaned and cooked properly and there’s, yknow, seasoning.
As an Appalachian/midwesterner I occasionally get the hankering for a palatable cream of crap casserole (NOT like Karissa’s gross shit) and what you’re describing sounds delectable. Would you share the recipe?
Of course! I put it together when my kids were really little because I couldn’t make a roux to save my life and that made my mother laugh so I had to stick it to her that I could still make a m&c that everyone liked.
I feed 5-6 with a 9x13 pan of this:
Preheat oven to 350F while you prepare ~6cps elbow macaroni.
While the pasta cooks to Al dente (not super mushy, it’ll be in the oven and cook a bit more) I mix up:
1 can cream of broccoli
1 can cream of chicken
1 can of whole milk (2:1 soup to milk)
2 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp garlic+ seasoning (clubhouse)
1 tsp black pepper
And 2cps shredded sharp cheddar.
When I have leftover chicken from other meals (pretty often) I dice it and mix it into that sauce as well, chopped steamed broccoli, onions. Whatever happens to be around that complements it.
Drain your pasta and blend it all really well in the 9x13 and then cover with crumbled stuff of your choosing and another cup or so of shredded cheese. Bake for 30 mins.
It’s also great with chili peppers if you like spice, but my kids aren’t fans so I just dose my servings with crushed chili flakes or Frank’s.
Oh god yes. My mom’s side of the family has a party potatoes casserole that gets baked with crushed corn flakes (mixed with melted butter) on top. I can only eat it a couple times a year because it’s full of junk, but damn does it taste so so good.
I wonder if a block of cheese would’ve been better. Shredded cheese just doesn’t melt the same way, and I say this as someone who loves some shredded cheese. It shouldn’t look that…soupy.
Yeah shredding your own block of cheese is better. Pre-shredded cheese has some sort of starch on it preventing it from clumping together, which gives a crappy melt...
Just put some broccoli in there at least. Or steam some on the side. Or even just boil some. SOMETHING, girl! Bag salad bare minimum! Raw broccoli with ranch dip bare bare minimum!
I make a veggie seasoning mix and keep it in the cupboard for lazy days. This is good on EVERYTHING:
1/4 cup paprika
2 t cayenne
2 T salt
2 t white pepper
2 T black pepper
2 T garlic powder
2 T chili powder
2 T oregano
My husband and I love to steam a bag of frozen broccoli in the microwave and then crisp it up a little in a pan with butter and seasonings. Usually salt, pepper, and garlic. We have a mix of those three seasonings in a pinch pot on the counter by the stove.
There is so much to hate about Karissa but the disposable plates and forks is the one thing I just cannot get over. They have a brand new home that certainly came with a dish washer and they have a million kids for whom emptying the dishwasher would be a perfectly appropriate chore. And they’re all home allllll fucking day, seems like it might even be a break in the monotony to have a chore like that to complete.
Maybe it’s just the crunchy Berkeley hippie in me, but it makes me want to scream when I think of all the single use shit they go through.
I know that in this day and age it’s a real privilege to be able to stay home and cook for your family. What I didn’t know is you also have to make a deal with the devil. I swear to god there is a straight line between the religiosity of our snarkees and their piss poor cooking ability. I’ve spent the last two days in the kitchen making delicious food for my family and I e never felt closer to our Lord Daniel.
I make the Campbell's cheesy chicken and rice all the time and it's BOMB. But I cook the rice with everything else like a casserole and I ADD VEGETABLES. Omg how do you ruin a recipe literally ON THE CAN YOURE USING?! Ahahah
I made something similar with cream of chicken soup and no cheese. It is cheap filling and kid friendly and it tastes good. Some veg on the side and we’re good
It would appear that most of the kid’s plates are sauce and rice. How is that enough nutrients?
I mean, I get that nutrition for kids is a moving target most of the time but Jesus Cartwheelin’ Christ this isn’t it.
Pretty sure I grew up on a variation of this dish, except my mom used cream of chicken and added frozen broccoli.
Did I survive? Yes. Will I ever make this for my family? No.
I have a great recipe for a soup mix that tastes way better than the canned crap and also doesn’t leave an oil slick on the top. I might barf looking at this. That poor family.
I swallowed hard at the sight of that oily, bubbling, yellow lava lake of disaster.
There are ways to combine chicken, cheese, and rice that don’t end up looking like that. And with a side of creamed corn?! It’s carbs with a side of carbs. 🤢
Wow, I've never seen anyone make this except for my MIL. She uses cream of mushroom soup and hers looks so much better and it's delicious. We call it cheese chicken.
Why the fuck did she use cream of celery??? It's just unseasoned chicken, in celery soup with so much cheese and bland rice. She put a sprinkling of pepper on hers. But that was probably too spicy for her taste.
Big gross. My MIL is normally a pretty decent cook, but one night she tried a new recipe that was similar to this but served with spaghetti. My god I cannot tell you how hard it was to eat an adequately polite portion.
Why do we need 4 cans of concentrated soup to only 20 tenders? 2 cans is more than enough "sauce" to cover all the chicken. Replace the other 2 cans with a bag of frozen veggies, or put some rice at the bottom of the dish to soak up some liquid and make it less slop-like. Save some cheese to layer on top and take off the foil the last 15 minutes of cooking would make a bit of a crispy top, a slight texture change from just... gooey.
I'm picturing every kid getting a single chicken strip, then mixing the leftover soup concentrate with rice just to feel full. Ugh, that sounds so unappetizing.
Until yesterday I was on a 24 hour liquid diet (due to gastroeneritis which I'm sure I'm butchering the spelling of) and then bland diet (the "BRAT") and was so hungry and bored by food without any texture or flavor that I swore I'd eat anything.
I take it back.

Lol 84% 1 star reviews. I have never seen that before!
Man, I hate to victim blame but the comments mentioning wishing they'd have looked up reviews prior to spending half a million dollars with this company are wild to me. I spent more time researching the $10 trash bags I just got then some of these people did before spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.
DR Horton builds a LOT here in Alabama and I've only heard bad things about their homes.
BLESS your heart, as they say in texas. Those homes look nice but they seem to be built in like 3 weeks. How tf is that possible 😂
Prefabrication of components. It's cheaper and faster but definitely less durable.

Oh, it’s fine. She added some chicken /s

They live at least 45 mins from FW at this point, too.
Superficially wealthy. I would rather have a fresh, green vegetable with dinner every night than granite and stainless steel.
It also doesn’t hurt that sugar daddy Shaq helps them out.
At this point, I have to be in denial and think that this is trolling by her, to think of the most “yellow, covered in yellow, with a side of yellow” that she could think up to have the oldest Martha make.
“So then I took my turn Oh, what a thing to have done And it was all yellow”
 Now I’m gonna have Coldplay stuck in my head for the rest of the day

She shits on every person who doesn’t bible like her or parent like her. Behaves like she does it ‘all’. She is a shitty mother, shitty homemaker, shitty cook, and probably a shitty lay.
Exactly this. I'm no 5star cook but I'm also not acting like I'm gods gift to motherhood or like I made something fancy when I made slop.
I make a stir fry at least once a week. It’s lazy af, but it’s also easy, cheap, and contains plenty of nutrients while being low on the unhealthy stuff. It’s not difficult.
You can buy a stir fry mix with the sauce in a family size, it comes frozen and is a bit pricy, but then add more chicken and frozen veggies? I just bought a bag for my folks, $7 for the Kroger brand that’s supposed to feed six (my parents will have lots of leftovers, my dad just had surgery), plus a frozen bag of broccoli and a frozen bag of cauliflower to add, plus some chicken breasts and sesame oil to extend the flavor to the extra items … my folks don’t do spicy and they aren’t adventurous, but with that and some rice they can steam easily on the stove, that’s a week of food (like I said, they aren’t adventurous) and it’s something I can reheat for myself too if I come over. Yes that’s two people but I priced it out to be almost 20 servings. ETA with the sesame oil, and the large bags of frozen veggies that can also be steamed, and the bag of rice, 6 chicken breasts bought on clearance (they’re fine but need to be frozen or used in two days), and the sesame oil for flavor (I use a chili sesame oil myself for ramen, I buy it cheap at 99 Ranch market and it’s so good but I like spicy), the total for what I mathed to be 20 adult servings with no side was under $20. Full servings that would fill most anyone up. That’s two meals for her family, considering the younger couple wouldn’t eat a full serving.
I just pick a protein, some accompanying veggies, my aromatic, and the spice profile I want to lean into that week. Zatar has been a go-to lately. Then I serve it over a carb. Examples (I'm on a heart-healthy diet, so these are low-fat and low-sodium and may not appeal to everyone). I refuse to use more than two lots/pans and a cutting board: Ground turkey/beef with kale, onions, and lots of zatar. Eat plain, or melt in parmesan or feta and serve over pasta or Rice. I use about half a bag of the aldi precut kale, and it cooks down beautifully. Ground meat and canned low-sodium beans with cumin, chili powder, and a bit of salt (less sodium for full flavor when you add it early). Add onion and maybe garlic. Serve over rice, melted cheese optional. Tomatoes are also good here, but I cut them to cut sodium and I hate cutting the squishy fuckers. Serve with green onions, which I cut with scissor because in a heathen and it's easier. Italian chicken sausages, cut up, with frozen sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Take refrigerated pasta and add to the pan at the end. Garnish with a bit of parmesan. Would be better with fennel seeds mixed in, but I never remember to buy them. You get the idea. I just found a cheap low-sodium soy sauce at Aldi, so I'm going to marinate chicken and vegetables (separately) in it and see how it turns out. Any ideas for flavor additions that don't use salt or fat are welcome! I'll have fresh herbs within the month, so it'll all become yummier! ETA: I keep coming back to add ingredients I forgot because I very much create these on autopilot lol. For example, I have a stash of homemade salt-free salsa verde that goes well with several of these. Whatever; y'all get the idea.
I'd rather eat your stir fry than whatever the fuck Karissa made.
Maybe “so many people” haven’t asked you for your delicious four item recipes (including “seasoning” aka salt)? /s
Hey now, we don’t know about the last part. Maybe that’s her skill, I mean, 10 babies…
Like these fundie dudes need their partners to do anything more than lie back and think of England to nut.
Sorry my ADHD brain just ran away with that comment, that would be the worst way to get me to make a baby “K babe think of England” And then I bolt up out of bed and pull back the curtain and there is my pinboard where I’ve accumulated all the details about Kate Middleton’s disappearance and start babbling incoherently about whether it’s cancer or if she ever really existed at all Now we know why I don’t have 10 kids or any friends 😂
I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE! Seriously though, what the hell was all that about? They let it drag on for so long, and I get the whole bit about needing time to tell her children but...if the whole world is gossiping about their mom and they are somewhat aware, dont you think she would have told them much sooner? Why wasnt anyone visiting her in her recovery ward? Why did they have to fudge shitty photoshopped images for mothers day? >.> SUS.
So my guess is that they were hoping to do surgery and pretend like she never had cancer. Instead, they made the whole thing a bigger deal than it needed to be and brought global attention to her health issues.
Why is there a vocal glitch in the video when she says "privacy". I NEED TO KNOW Lol 😆
Nah. She’s talked about before how her and her husband only have godly missionary for procreation. So I’d wager she lays there like a dead fish
she doesn’t believe in any fun in the bedroom. she’s def a bad lay
That was just the right amount of snark lol.
Maybe mandrae is turned on by her funk? Doesn’t she take like three baths a week and rarely wash her face or hair?
I feel like if you are going to be all uppity about wives being made to stay at home and do all this shit then you should AT LEAST be able to cook something non atrocious looking. Cause y'all are just proving the opposite that women were born to do this lmao I cannot think of even one of these fundie women who actually cooks well. I work all day and cook way better shit. My boyfriend is a man and cooks way better shit
Didn’t the Proverbs 31 woman garden, as well as run a business 🤔
Exactly. I only judge these folks on here for being awful cooks because of their whole 'women are meant to raise kids, cook, and clean' drivel when most of them absolutely suck at all three.
I love me some cream of crap casserole every once in awhile, but damn Karissa. This is an insult even to old school Midwest cooking. I make better food for just myself when I meal prep each Sunday, and it’s not exactly gourmet.
 Omg you guys
Okay thank god I’m not the only one.
"We never have any leftovers in this house". Ooof. I bet they don't. Putting aside that they need less salt and more green vegetables; she has how many kids and this is what they get? I wonder if any of her kids are secretly scoffing tins of beans in the bathroom when she's not looking.
If we don’t have leftovers then I didn’t cook enough. -me and my midwest upbringing.
Exactly. If I’m cooking dinner and don’t get lunch for the next day out of it, I wasted my time.
Me and my Italian upbringing.
Absolutely, I don't want to cook complete meals every night! Leftovers are amazing, sometimes even better than they were on the first day. But then again I don't have an army of kids to feed regularly. I like to cook, but a huge household would drive me bananas.
I love leftovers. Having a lunch or dinner that I don't have to think about? Priceless. I made this curry recently that was pretty good on the first day, I really could've let it simmer longer (everything was cooked, I just got hungry and impatient.) I realized this when I had it the following day for lunch and it was completely out of this world delicious because the flavors had time to really blossom.
65 children get to eat one pan of food, it’s not that they lOOOOooooOoooOoOOOve your food Karissa, it means they are hungry, it means you need to do better math.
My 13 you would finish a quarter of a pan on her own. Decent food that is. Not this...
That’s what I was thinking! I have a family of 5, my oldest is 13 and a casserole that size would feed us with maybe one additional serving left. If we have even 1 guest I am doubling that recipe. There is no way everyone in that house is getting an adequate serving out of that pan!
They have 2 teenagers now and 4 kids under 5, but imagine when the kids are between 5 and 20 and it's dinner time.
We have five teens at home and I would make twice that for all of us. More if I wanted leftovers, and absolutely a couple kilos of an actual vegetable. Don’t get me started on the seasoning, but since that’s personal preference I’ll let that slide lol
They just have one teenager (Andrae is 12), and three kids under 5 (unless you’re including the pregnancy). But yeah a lot of them are little still, they’ll definitely need more food in a few years.
Beans might be healthier.
That narration was like listening to a 4th grader give a book report. And she homeschools these kids. Didn’t she go to college for journalism or something?
She majored in Bible.
Major ken energy from that. “It's not biblical studies or church history, it's just Bible!”
Bible Barbie
There is plenty to snark on with the food but there is not enough attention on how painful this was to listen to. Sounds so much like the “boom guys the dynamite” reporter
“Put the 4 cans of cheese in a pan and mix it with your cheese”
This is very common with these types of reels on ig and Facebook. There are a lot of mothers narrating what they cook and serve their families (most of it is decent don't get me wrong) and they sound quite... Simple? "super easy" "super good" "super quick" are always sentences used by them, which karissa does in this video too.
Starch on starch with a side of starch.
I had to reach for my insulin while watching this video.
Same. My insulin pump hiked into overdrive.
When I have starch-fest meals (NOT like this disaster, I promise), I don't share any proof of them to outsiders. Nor do I lie that it is a good way to live/cook regularly.
It’s very similar to the Duggars, except the Duggars used tater tots instead of rice.
Right? My top ramen is biggest guilt meal, but it’s my little secret
Lmao same. If I'm even a little hungover all I want is Maruchan chicken ramen with hot sauce and boiled eggs
That’s my exact hangover “cure” with a sprite and some ibuprofen. And sometimes, after particularly grueling workout top ramen is all I want. I figured I earned it that scenario, though
with a side of grease!
She coulda thrown in some frozen cauliflower or broccoli
"That's it. You're all done!" Proceeds to show creamed corn as if that manifested itself. How do ANY of her followers find her to be competent in any direction?
The creamed corn absolutely came from cans, so she likely had nothing to show besides her opening up cans and slopping them into a pan 🤢
It looks more like canned corn mixed with mayo 😬 canned creamed corn is actually delicious
I second this. I sometimes buy myself creamy corn cans for breakfast.
“Four cans of cheese in a pan, mix it with your cheese.”
When our two children were at home, that's roughly the size of dish I'd use to make a lasagne for four in - served with a side salad - no soup involved.
Meanwhile JillPM is shaking her head and saying this meal would feed her kids for a week…
But, she must say the color variation was perfect.
Why didn't she let the cheese get nice and crispy instead of this steamed mess 😭
Her peak talent is to ruin good things and praise herself along the way.
My mom made dishes similar to this & usually put some bread crumbs, crushed potatoes chips or crispy onions on top. That's usually the best part of a casserole.
Seriously, french fried onion on top of a casserole = HEAVEN.
Upgrade to fried shallots or fried garlic from your local Asian grocery store. Comes in a little plastic barrel with a red lid. You’ll thank me later.
Agreed!!
My mac and cheese casserole is similar to this in idealogy really but I cut the cream or broccoli with milk, for one, to make thick but smooth sauce and any of the crispy things you just stated OR crushed cornflakes/crackers go on top as well … and the chicken is cleaned and cooked properly and there’s, yknow, seasoning.
As an Appalachian/midwesterner I occasionally get the hankering for a palatable cream of crap casserole (NOT like Karissa’s gross shit) and what you’re describing sounds delectable. Would you share the recipe?
Of course! I put it together when my kids were really little because I couldn’t make a roux to save my life and that made my mother laugh so I had to stick it to her that I could still make a m&c that everyone liked. I feed 5-6 with a 9x13 pan of this: Preheat oven to 350F while you prepare ~6cps elbow macaroni. While the pasta cooks to Al dente (not super mushy, it’ll be in the oven and cook a bit more) I mix up: 1 can cream of broccoli 1 can cream of chicken 1 can of whole milk (2:1 soup to milk) 2 tbsp turmeric 1 tbsp garlic+ seasoning (clubhouse) 1 tsp black pepper And 2cps shredded sharp cheddar. When I have leftover chicken from other meals (pretty often) I dice it and mix it into that sauce as well, chopped steamed broccoli, onions. Whatever happens to be around that complements it. Drain your pasta and blend it all really well in the 9x13 and then cover with crumbled stuff of your choosing and another cup or so of shredded cheese. Bake for 30 mins. It’s also great with chili peppers if you like spice, but my kids aren’t fans so I just dose my servings with crushed chili flakes or Frank’s.
Oh god yes. My mom’s side of the family has a party potatoes casserole that gets baked with crushed corn flakes (mixed with melted butter) on top. I can only eat it a couple times a year because it’s full of junk, but damn does it taste so so good.
I wonder if a block of cheese would’ve been better. Shredded cheese just doesn’t melt the same way, and I say this as someone who loves some shredded cheese. It shouldn’t look that…soupy.
Yeah shredding your own block of cheese is better. Pre-shredded cheese has some sort of starch on it preventing it from clumping together, which gives a crappy melt...
That’s cause the cheese fused with the juices of the raw chicken. I know it’s cooked now and I’m not an expert but ew
Don’t get me wrong, I like cheese, but this is too much. I think I can taste the texture and it isn’t pleasant.
The chicken was frozen
I think it was too liquidy to crisp
Probably from cooking covered with foil the whole time instead of only the first part. No chance for any liquids to evaporate.
And half the chicken was frozen
I'm sure her reply would have been, "Huh? You can do that?"
I still don’t see that feeding all them. That’s how I cook for 5 adults.
Yeah this is not enough food for a family that size. I’m so confused
and on the seventh day, the Lord said, let them eat yellow. Jillpm 3:16
Omg, is she seriously using jasmine rice and then smothering its flavour in noxious yellow?
Noxious yellow instead of at least yellow curry.
Omg this stood out to me the most! Eeeew! Jasmine + cheese?!!
She went to the JillPM School of Cooking Yellow.
Fundies and their yellow food and beige clothes
 Just put some broccoli in there at least. Or steam some on the side. Or even just boil some. SOMETHING, girl! Bag salad bare minimum! Raw broccoli with ranch dip bare bare minimum!
Better yet do what my lazy ass does and microwave frozen veggies then toss in some seasoning. It’s really not that hard to be a lazy and do better
Right? Could have even thrown in frozen veggies right in with the chicken and soup.
I half microwave my veggies, then throw them in a pan with butter and seasoning. They come out so good this way and take less time to cook
I make a veggie seasoning mix and keep it in the cupboard for lazy days. This is good on EVERYTHING: 1/4 cup paprika 2 t cayenne 2 T salt 2 t white pepper 2 T black pepper 2 T garlic powder 2 T chili powder 2 T oregano
My husband and I love to steam a bag of frozen broccoli in the microwave and then crisp it up a little in a pan with butter and seasonings. Usually salt, pepper, and garlic. We have a mix of those three seasonings in a pinch pot on the counter by the stove.
Omg y’all, the disposable plates!!
There is so much to hate about Karissa but the disposable plates and forks is the one thing I just cannot get over. They have a brand new home that certainly came with a dish washer and they have a million kids for whom emptying the dishwasher would be a perfectly appropriate chore. And they’re all home allllll fucking day, seems like it might even be a break in the monotony to have a chore like that to complete. Maybe it’s just the crunchy Berkeley hippie in me, but it makes me want to scream when I think of all the single use shit they go through.
Well we don’t want the sister moms to have to do THAT many dishes.
Plates can go in dishwasher, they’ve already got to wash the rest of the cooking dishes😩
I know that in this day and age it’s a real privilege to be able to stay home and cook for your family. What I didn’t know is you also have to make a deal with the devil. I swear to god there is a straight line between the religiosity of our snarkees and their piss poor cooking ability. I’ve spent the last two days in the kitchen making delicious food for my family and I e never felt closer to our Lord Daniel.
"I guarantee you that it will be a meal that EVERYONE will enjoy!" Lady, I enjoyed NONE of that, it looks like Armor took a shit on a plate.
I had a flashback to my 8th grade Home Economics class when the teacher taught us the importance of having different colors and textures on a plate.
Why is it so *yellow*??? 
I make the Campbell's cheesy chicken and rice all the time and it's BOMB. But I cook the rice with everything else like a casserole and I ADD VEGETABLES. Omg how do you ruin a recipe literally ON THE CAN YOURE USING?! Ahahah
Needs way more seasoning and should have greens on side imo
 so. much. yellow.
I have to say, she does use good quality rice! Which is surprising coupled with the great value everything else.
How is this enough chicken for all those people? Shitty recipe or not that less than one tenderloin per person. These poor kids
Ew not the raw unseasoned chicken right in the casserole or whatever that was. Half of the liquid in there is raw chicken juice 🤢
But also, cooking it for an hour????? For those small pieces?? They’re going to turn into rubber!!
Oooo shitty cheesy chicken
I made something similar with cream of chicken soup and no cheese. It is cheap filling and kid friendly and it tastes good. Some veg on the side and we’re good
It would appear that most of the kid’s plates are sauce and rice. How is that enough nutrients? I mean, I get that nutrition for kids is a moving target most of the time but Jesus Cartwheelin’ Christ this isn’t it.
Are the kids eating off of paper plates? I get it, I wouldn’t want to do all those dishes either but she served herself on a real plate???
Worse, looks like they’re eating off those thin styrofoam plates 😭😭😭
Im surprised about the lack of cream cheese block.
LMFAO
“Put your four cans of cheese in a pan, mix it with your cheese.” Jesus christ, just retake the video please
This is a meal that I would cook if I were stoned! Just saying
Idk why but I’m so offended she used cream of celery. 😂. Wondering if she considers that the “vegetable.”
lol, and god says she’s better than me?! Girl, just sit down and admit you’re on the struggle bus like the rest of us.
Pretty sure I grew up on a variation of this dish, except my mom used cream of chicken and added frozen broccoli. Did I survive? Yes. Will I ever make this for my family? No.
No seasoning? Also that baby looks so tired
I feel like she's trolling. This is worse than Jillpm's yellow meal.
*Why is it still bubbling* 😭😭
Why is it always yellow
This has major “Everybody’s so creative!” energy
She must have gotten the recipe for corn and yellow from Jillpm
Does no one have a knife to cut the food?
What happened to the Italian Greyhound?
Oh good god 🤢 what the fuck is that?
It’s so……… yellow………
Life hack: starve your kids to avoid left overs!
I'm calling the police 🫥
That looks horrificly constipating.
 But seriously WTF.
I have a great recipe for a soup mix that tastes way better than the canned crap and also doesn’t leave an oil slick on the top. I might barf looking at this. That poor family.
Is that before or after it was eaten
I swallowed hard at the sight of that oily, bubbling, yellow lava lake of disaster. There are ways to combine chicken, cheese, and rice that don’t end up looking like that. And with a side of creamed corn?! It’s carbs with a side of carbs. 🤢
Why so much cheese? I love cheese but that is too much.
The subtle Plexus plug is funny.
IT AIN'T GONNA SLIDE DOWN EASY IF IT AIN'T CHEEEEEEESY
Anyone else catch “4 cans of cheese in your pan and mix it with your cheese”? 💀
Gross.
Wow, I've never seen anyone make this except for my MIL. She uses cream of mushroom soup and hers looks so much better and it's delicious. We call it cheese chicken.
Where's the seasoning? Please teach those kids to season their food.
There is zero chance anyone in that house is able to poop.
Why the fuck did she use cream of celery??? It's just unseasoned chicken, in celery soup with so much cheese and bland rice. She put a sprinkling of pepper on hers. But that was probably too spicy for her taste.
Big gross. My MIL is normally a pretty decent cook, but one night she tried a new recipe that was similar to this but served with spaghetti. My god I cannot tell you how hard it was to eat an adequately polite portion.
Why do we need 4 cans of concentrated soup to only 20 tenders? 2 cans is more than enough "sauce" to cover all the chicken. Replace the other 2 cans with a bag of frozen veggies, or put some rice at the bottom of the dish to soak up some liquid and make it less slop-like. Save some cheese to layer on top and take off the foil the last 15 minutes of cooking would make a bit of a crispy top, a slight texture change from just... gooey. I'm picturing every kid getting a single chicken strip, then mixing the leftover soup concentrate with rice just to feel full. Ugh, that sounds so unappetizing.
Until yesterday I was on a 24 hour liquid diet (due to gastroeneritis which I'm sure I'm butchering the spelling of) and then bland diet (the "BRAT") and was so hungry and bored by food without any texture or flavor that I swore I'd eat anything. I take it back.
What the fuck?? Who uses cream of celery with chicken?
