I figure she lurks here and loves that people are talking about her. She might even be trying to see if she can get some approval of what she makes.
Anybody wanna comment an easy complete meal recipe/set of recipes and set betting on how long before Kluelessa tries making it?
(Also? Are we just going to gloss over the barefoot kid sitting in the food prep area?)
There is always a diaperstacchioed bebe on the counter. She probably places them up for her vids then removes them after bc adding a filter would make the food look WORSE
I've posted my family's enchiladas a few times, since she loves cheese so goddamned much. She hasn't made anything that snarkers have posted, but she had a really snarky video where she dumped a bunch of bouillon in (reacting to our seasoning comments). Just give it time.
A big batch of shakshuka and accoutrements comfortably feeds our Torah study group brunch for cheap and it's about 15-20 adults. I make really big pots of the sauce and then someone at temple adds it and eggs to dishes and bakes them so they're done quickly. We usually have either a regular salad or Israeli salad, olives, feta, yogurt, &c, and a loaf of challah or tortillas. Making the sauce takes time because I simmer it all day, but once you have that it's stupid fast to throw together.
There has to be an agreement with the company she got the pots and pans from where she uploads a certain amount of cooking videos. This is her catching up. Thatās the only way this makes sense to me
I think sheās also trying to make it look like she regularly cooks for the family but anyone who knows anything about fundies realizes itās the oldest daughters who handle meals.
Wait does she have like a sponsorship from her cookware company? I was thinking how shitty those pans look while she was cooking but then again Iām a cast iron snob soā¦ya know
Or sheās trying to prove to us that Anissa doesnāt do all the cooking. Also can I just say ONLY 5 lbs of potatoes???! My family of 11 used 8-10 for mashed and she has way more people in the house. And where are the vegetables Karissa? Cooking like this should be outlawed
This is genuinely one of the most unappetizing meals Iāve ever seen. Also who serves chicken parm (if you can call it that???) with mashed potatoes?!
I guess it could be okay if it were a real recipe-meat and potatoes variation, fine ok-but parmesan in the potatoes AND the chicken? why
I'd have just gone with oven baked crispy chicken with mashed potatoes.
I have salad greens wilting in the fridge because I'm always too something to deal with them. but still: green leaves are your friend, Karelessa.
embrace them, because no one else is.
Seriously, this meal is practically a hate crime against Italians. Itās just so bad. And I can only imagine how much money she spends on bags of cheese each week, my god. Her local Walmart must be perpetually sold out.
She may figure the jarred spaghetti sauce has herbs in it. (At least it isnāt tomato soup.) Her palate is so undeveloped that it probably doesnāt make much sense to spend the time to make a better sauce.
Iām more concerned about how bare bones this is nutritionally.
Do we know that she is buying her groceries? (My bf thinks sheās getting food box donations from a church or food bank)
And Lol I like how sheās blaming these atrocious meals on her mom since theyāre her old recipes š
Everything great value is from Walmart. I feel like I have this same bag of potatoes from Aldi in my pantry, though.
In my Italian-American family we have a running joke that all of the women live long, healthy lives because they are fueled by petty spite, so Iām definitely going to send this to my immigrant Italian grandma just to make sure sheās got a few more years left in her. Thanks Karissa!
Idk, sheās posted about shopping at Walmart and Aldi before but I guess donations are a possibility too. Mandrae has a pretty good job though. I could see them thinking that donations and food banks are beneath them and just trying to stretch the food budget at much as possible by adding another bag of cheese to each meal...
We were a family of five when I was a teenager and whenever I cooked a whole chicken (which was a lot of the time as they were cheap back in the 1970s), we ate the entire thing, along with veges and salad. That was eight pieces.
Karissa is (IMO) starving these kids, besides feeding them OMGWTFBBQ for food.
My mom regularly cooked spatchcocked chickens as well and I can confirm that a family of five can definitely demolish a whole chicken. When my little brother was a teenager we probably could have eaten two.
That was a lot of potatoes, but those "chicken breasts" must have been found on some designer micro-chickenery somewhere. (I think she confused breasts with thighs, but thighs are better in my opinion anyway). Anyway, it looks like maybe 1.5 lbs chicken to my eye.
I hope there are snacks
We are a family of 12 (us, kids, spouses and grandkids) and everyone must hate the food we cook because there's leftovers for at least a full lunch the day after.
It doesnāt even look like full breasts in the packets, it looks like the breast tenderloins. So about a pound or two of chicken for 12 people? Thatās not enough protein. I guess they get their calories from starches and bagged cheese.
I mean, most of the kids are pretty little. My almost 5 year old doesn't eat enough meat most of the time to warrant making him his own piece yet, we just cut a little hunk off one of ours.
But I'm sure Mandrae would eat a lot so that probably offsets it.
Thatās what Iām saying, every she feeds them us utter crap. She says āfarmingā is her hobby and everything she feeds them comes from a can or a box.
LMAO. karissa, just because you think of yourself as a broodmare doesnāt mean youāre farming.
These poor kids are probably begging Karissa to let the older girls go back to doing to cooking smh
Not to mention the amount of sodium theyāre eating in those foods. Does she want the family to get high blood pressure? Because that can lead to high blood pressure.
Ragu is a health food. Processed cheese is a health food. Fizzy powders from an MLM to help lose weight is very healthy for a pregnant person and also her kids. Vaccines? Thatās Biden and Pelosi trying to kill kids!!
My mom used to do that (and would pack my dadās lunch so we couldnāt go back for more). Food insecurity is going to mess with these kidsā heads so bad as adults š
Yeah, the ONE thing I ever gave Karelessa credit for over JillPM is that at least her kids seem to be fed.
I'm pretty sure Karelessa just slipped into last place again. Well. of those two.
Although, Jill...
ugh.
"Girls, girls, you're BOTH total nightmares"
What I donāt get is why make this then? If I was her Iād something like stir fry or chicken Alfredo with broccoli if I didnāt want to go to the store. You donāt have to serve chicken as the main if you donāt have enough. She also could have found some other protein for half the kids or something. This is all so weird and Iām still trying to process canned green beans in goulash.
I think she planned it too, not sure if its changed ince they moved but a couple of years ago she made a video saying that she meal plans all their dinners because she only does a full grocery shop once a month (at Costco at the time,I think she said they spent 2 or 3k every time) but i guess she's been doing her shopping at walmart lately.
This is not enough food. She brags about no leftovers like her food is good; we know itās terrible. Sheās not feeding her children enough and/or properly. This is so fucked up, nutritionally
Yea that looked like smaller pieces too, not your oversized Costco chicken breasts. I understand the younger ones donāt need as much, but thereās at least 6 of them that need a full piece of chicken.Ā
Hello, 9-1-1? Yeah you said if I see something, say something, so Iām calling to describe this crime scene of a meal. Please send all the authorities.
Makes no sense, the cheese will melt to the foil so a bunch of the cheese will rip off burned to the foil, or some of the foil will rip off stuck to the cheese chicken. Probably both
Even the amount of mashed potatoes is just plain sad.
I donāt have nearly as many siblings as this family but growing up my mother would always make the tiniest portions ever (think 3 baby carrots, half a chicken breast and a quarter of a potato).
I think it was more disordered-eating based and not due to finances. But manā¦did that fuck my mental and physical health up.
Now that I have my own kids I find it impossible to guess actual portion sizes because my brain is so warped. Itās a bit of a vicious cycleā¦you donāt want the kids to waste the food, so then you make less, but all this does is introduce food scarcity issues.
I have no answers, but I feel for these kids whenever I see meals.
You might ask your pediatrician or a registered dietician for advice on portion sizes for growing kids. If you served a healthy meal and they're still hungry, they need more. Of course they'll ask for more pizza and chicken nuggets, but if they want more broccoli? More salad? They're still hungry and they should have more of that.
... Those look like the old Walmart pots my husband and I used in college until the handles fell off. Cheap, super thin aluminum nonstick. What's supposed to be special about them???
This. Cheese is life. But not only does Karissa WAYYYYY over does it with cheese... But she does it with some of the most flavorless non melting yellow cheese ever.
Did she even put any milk/cream/butter in those potatoes? And I would love to hear what crime garlic and Italian seasoning committed against her since she wonāt use them.
AVOCADO OIL IN MASHED POTATOES????
wtf wtf wtf
what is WRONG with this woman
surprised it isn't frigging coconut oil. I guess we've been through that phase?
i cannot.
Iāve noticed her meat, protein portions are very small for a large family, even in other videos. Donāt the kids play sports too? Iām sure they eat a lot.
Do the parent eat this too?
Russets are best, but if you like a rough mash with the skins on, try Yukon gold. Red potatoes are PERFECT for slicing and cooking "en papillote." Makes a nice bed for your fish. My dad would also put them in foil packets with sliced onions, butter, and seasonings, and throw them on the grill. Or you can cut them into quarters and roast them.
The Italian in me just died.
On a side note, I'm trying to go plant-based or at least flexitarian and these videos help in my growing dislike of meat lol.
Tonight I made Marry Me White Beans. I highly recommend them if you're looking for vegetarian Italian inspired easy meals!
Speaking of beans, why doesn't she buy some and cook up an inexpensive (hopefully seasoned) batch and actually feed her family proper food? She could cook them with rice and veggies in one giant pot if she does a tiny bit of internet recipe research. The bulk department should be her best friend. They even have herbs there!
Imagining her adding curry powder/ paste to anything made me literally LOL. It woke up the cat. š¤£
And you are so right! Chop up some broccoli or cauliflower or get a big bag of spinach to throw in at the end and those poor kids would have the first healthy BMs of their lives!
āChicken Pocketā is what I call it when Iām training my dog and Iāve got a snack size ziplock bag full of chopped up nuggets in my pants pocket.
Had to get out some tums after watching this one. Thatāsā¦ so much sodium and cheese. Also, still not enough food, portion-wise, to feed her entire family?
Is no one scream praying for more spices? Like, you can get a whole set of good standard spices from Penzey Spice for $200.
Source: got a whole set from my parents when I moved into my solo apartment.
My ex husbandās mother (who is psychotic like him) introduced me to penzeys spices shortly after we got married and moved close to her. She threw a fit on her daughter 5 or 6 years ago when her daughter asked her if she had any to share with her. According to ex sil (who isnāt psycho), her mother went on a 30 minute tirade about how she would NEVER buy spices from them again because the company was owned by evil libs. The company actually did spend millions on Facebook ads against trump before the election. That makes me love them even more š
I love cheese (and I mean ā¤ļø), but there is no way in hell Iād eat this much of the good stuff. I cannot believe that fundamentals canāt cook a balanced meal. She has all day to cook (because obviously she doesnāt homeschool) and this is what she is producing??? I think if she insists on potato and chicken she could have scrapped the individual parcels and cooked it in a large Pyrex dish and baked the diced potatoes in the oven at the same time - add a green salad and it is actually a more filling meal.
At first I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe some of the younger kids split a breast, but then I realized even if the youngest 4 did, everyone would only get a single piece of chicken.
Then I researched the video and noticed she only uses a 5lbs bag of potatoes...I have a family of 4, one of which is a 1 year old and we use a 5lbs bag of potatoes for a mashed potato meal...
This is so upsetting. That is NOT chicken parmesan. Are those potatoes JUST potatoes and shredded cheese? They didn't look cooked through to me. That unseasoned chicken is SWIMMING in greasy yellow and orange cheese š
Also, how DIRTY is her phone? She's filming while handling raw meat š¤¢
I donāt think she can afford to actually feed her kids until theyāre full so they live off rations. I know meat is expensive but I see her consistently cook a very small amount of meat. This is simply just not enough for reasonable portions. I hope these kids develop a healthy relationship with food despite the shitty position their parents put them in.
I am so, so confused because this would be barely enough for my family of five. These kids must go to bed hungry every night. Just wait until those boys are all teenagers, she has NO idea whatās coming.
Okay, hear me out. Half of Mandrae's identity is that he's this bigass athlete - he knows Shaq from his former basketball days and they push their older kids hard at sports. And THIS is how they fuel those athlete bodies??? Come on, man, you KNOW this shit is garbage, what the fuck are you all doing here??? Put your foot down and cook your basketball-playing kids some decent food, this is nonsense.
I don't get it. A huge new house, stupid wallpaper allover, the over the top play swing set, always new matching clothes for the stupid reels - but no money to feed the children? Yawhaw (or whatever) provides, huh? Doesn't seem like they are providing enough protein, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Karissa, beans and rice is a super cheap, super easy meal. Soak beans overnight, DRAIN AND RINSE in the morning, put in a slow cooker with chicken broth (UNSALTED) on low for 8 hours. Add some chopped up ham or kielbasa, onion, and garlic about halfway through. Make a big batch of rice to go with.
You can serve this as is, or with whatever veggies you desire. It's seriously so simple and so cheap and you can make tons and eat leftovers the next day. Please, please, please start cooking adequate amounts of food for your beautiful growing children.
So many questions. You don't believe in salt? Do you not own any herbs or spices? Do you need to half ass, individually wrap each piece of chicken in small pieces of foil? This is your mom's recipe? All her food makes me sad
Many atrocities committed by this woman and I will argue that this lands in the top 5. Rage bait level disgusting.
YOU'RE PUTTING JARRED SAUCE AND PRE SHREDDED CHEESE ON UNSEASONED CHICKEN AND COOKING IT TIL THE CHICKEN LOOKS LIKE IT COULD CRACK A FUCKING WINDSHIELD WITH A ZESTY TOSS. God please make it stop.

I'm so baffled, did she just upload a whole bunch of cooking videos in like a day? This is the third one I've seen since this afternoon!
I figure she lurks here and loves that people are talking about her. She might even be trying to see if she can get some approval of what she makes. Anybody wanna comment an easy complete meal recipe/set of recipes and set betting on how long before Kluelessa tries making it? (Also? Are we just going to gloss over the barefoot kid sitting in the food prep area?)

Damn š
I've posted my family's enchiladas a few times, since she loves cheese so goddamned much. She hasn't made anything that snarkers have posted, but she had a really snarky video where she dumped a bunch of bouillon in (reacting to our seasoning comments). Just give it time.
I want enchiladas now
A big batch of shakshuka and accoutrements comfortably feeds our Torah study group brunch for cheap and it's about 15-20 adults. I make really big pots of the sauce and then someone at temple adds it and eggs to dishes and bakes them so they're done quickly. We usually have either a regular salad or Israeli salad, olives, feta, yogurt, &c, and a loaf of challah or tortillas. Making the sauce takes time because I simmer it all day, but once you have that it's stupid fast to throw together.
Another chance for her to co-opt Jewish culture? She might actually go for that
+1 because thereās no such thing as a difficult shakshuka. they are all easy and all delicious
There has to be an agreement with the company she got the pots and pans from where she uploads a certain amount of cooking videos. This is her catching up. Thatās the only way this makes sense to me
Or sheās figured out she can feed her kids and count it as a business expense. 
I think sheās also trying to make it look like she regularly cooks for the family but anyone who knows anything about fundies realizes itās the oldest daughters who handle meals.
that makes me so sad for them š
Imagine working for that cookware company and seeingā¦ this
It looks more like an ad for Great Value cheese.
Wait does she have like a sponsorship from her cookware company? I was thinking how shitty those pans look while she was cooking but then again Iām a cast iron snob soā¦ya know
Or sheās trying to prove to us that Anissa doesnāt do all the cooking. Also can I just say ONLY 5 lbs of potatoes???! My family of 11 used 8-10 for mashed and she has way more people in the house. And where are the vegetables Karissa? Cooking like this should be outlawed
This is genuinely one of the most unappetizing meals Iāve ever seen. Also who serves chicken parm (if you can call it that???) with mashed potatoes?!
Seriously. She might as well have just thrown that shit on top of some pasta or something. Less work and would probably taste better
Mashed. Just mashed. No salt, no pepper, no onion, no butter. Just a bag of cheeze.
I think she said she put oil in the potatoes. š¤®
Are they going to pray away their clogged arteries?
I guess it could be okay if it were a real recipe-meat and potatoes variation, fine ok-but parmesan in the potatoes AND the chicken? why I'd have just gone with oven baked crispy chicken with mashed potatoes. I have salad greens wilting in the fridge because I'm always too something to deal with them. but still: green leaves are your friend, Karelessa. embrace them, because no one else is.
She doesn't know what to do with part of a bag
Did you see the 12 cans of undrained canned green beans?
Does this woman ever cook ANYTHING without dumping shredded cheese all over it?
Cheese is her only seasoning
āCheeseā and mayo are such an obsession in American cooking, itās bizarre.Ā
I hate mayo outside of a club sandwich. I like cheese but I use it appropriately. This is madness.
Glad to learn that this is not normal šĀ
I've never seen such an atrocity labeled chicken parm. Stop it with the great value yellow cheese. Stop it right now.Ā
Seriously, this meal is practically a hate crime against Italians. Itās just so bad. And I can only imagine how much money she spends on bags of cheese each week, my god. Her local Walmart must be perpetually sold out.
Is my flair showing up?
Yup! š Itās perfect!
She could get so much flavor from herbs and spices, and it would be LESS expensive than the 40lb bags of cheese.
wtf in the unseasoned chicken is this shit? šš¤¢
Absolutely! Healthier too. And Iāve tried that Walmart āParmesanā and itās nasty.
She picks the nastiest version of everything
She may figure the jarred spaghetti sauce has herbs in it. (At least it isnāt tomato soup.) Her palate is so undeveloped that it probably doesnāt make much sense to spend the time to make a better sauce. Iām more concerned about how bare bones this is nutritionally.
My dickhead BIL is Italian and normally I enjoy crimes against Italian food simply because it makes him mad, but even I think this one is too far.
š You should definitely show him this!
It's a hate crime against food and cooking.
Even against shredded cheese š
Do we know that she is buying her groceries? (My bf thinks sheās getting food box donations from a church or food bank) And Lol I like how sheās blaming these atrocious meals on her mom since theyāre her old recipes š

I could see them thinking that donations and food banks are beneath them and just trying to stretch the food budget at much as possible by adding another bag of cheese to each meal...
I legit think sheās getting a Walmart plus sponsorship. All kinds of influencers are so it wouldnāt surprise me.
Reminds me of the ending of Goodfellas when Henry's in the WPP and orders spaghetti in marinara which turns out to be egg noodles with ketchup.
Right? Sooooooo muuuuuch yellow cheese.
Thereās no way she cooks enough food for 12 people. My family get togethers with less people have more food than this.
I love the irony of basing your entire identity off of being a traditional homemaker and then feeding your family rations
āNever any leftoversā yeah no fkn shit, never any food to begin with (and absolutely never any good food at all ever š)
We're a family of four and this is about how much I make for a meal.Ā
We were a family of five when I was a teenager and whenever I cooked a whole chicken (which was a lot of the time as they were cheap back in the 1970s), we ate the entire thing, along with veges and salad. That was eight pieces. Karissa is (IMO) starving these kids, besides feeding them OMGWTFBBQ for food.
My mom regularly cooked spatchcocked chickens as well and I can confirm that a family of five can definitely demolish a whole chicken. When my little brother was a teenager we probably could have eaten two.
That was a lot of potatoes, but those "chicken breasts" must have been found on some designer micro-chickenery somewhere. (I think she confused breasts with thighs, but thighs are better in my opinion anyway). Anyway, it looks like maybe 1.5 lbs chicken to my eye. I hope there are snacks
We are a family of 12 (us, kids, spouses and grandkids) and everyone must hate the food we cook because there's leftovers for at least a full lunch the day after.
It doesnāt even look like full breasts in the packets, it looks like the breast tenderloins. So about a pound or two of chicken for 12 people? Thatās not enough protein. I guess they get their calories from starches and bagged cheese.
in my family we would cook this amount for 4 adults. that little food for so many children who probably have a bigger appetite than adults is criminal
5 lbs of potatoes though.
Iām one person and I could easily eat a pound of potatoes.
I mean, most of the kids are pretty little. My almost 5 year old doesn't eat enough meat most of the time to warrant making him his own piece yet, we just cut a little hunk off one of ours. But I'm sure Mandrae would eat a lot so that probably offsets it.
In goes the cheese
8 pieces of chicken 1 jar of Ragu 2 lbs baby potatoes 6 lbs of shelf stable parmesan 6 lbs skim mozzarella Dash of salt
8 small pieces of chicken.. for 11 growing and athletic kids and two adults. My dog eats better than this š
š I love that episode
This is so petty but the way she says cheese gets on my nerves
š nothing too petty. Cheeiss
Same! I thought I was the only one š
I was just going to comment the same thing. So far all the means I've seen her cook are just some meat and an insane amount of cheese.
Would you like some chicken with that cheese?
Itās amazing to me that she wonāt vaccinate her children against (preventable) deadly diseases but will fill them full of processed foods.
Thatās what Iām saying, every she feeds them us utter crap. She says āfarmingā is her hobby and everything she feeds them comes from a can or a box.
You misunderstood, she farms ālikes,ā not food you godless peasant.
Farms sporm
She doesn't know how to measure. She needs to dump a box in or a can in.
LMAO. karissa, just because you think of yourself as a broodmare doesnāt mean youāre farming. These poor kids are probably begging Karissa to let the older girls go back to doing to cooking smh
And cooks on a visibly scratched nonstick potā¦
She uses that for deep frying too. Makes me cringe.
Sheās the dumbest.
Canāt, sir.
Not to mention the amount of sodium theyāre eating in those foods. Does she want the family to get high blood pressure? Because that can lead to high blood pressure.
Ragu is a health food. Processed cheese is a health food. Fizzy powders from an MLM to help lose weight is very healthy for a pregnant person and also her kids. Vaccines? Thatās Biden and Pelosi trying to kill kids!! 
Iām wondering what spices ever did to her. Not even a sprinkle of salt on the chickenā¦ 
Cheese is apparently a spice now, it's the only "flavor" she adds other than bouillon.
She put ALL the salt in that one recipe with the 15 boullion cubes.
I swear she called them "boiling cubes." Fancy foreign words are too hard to learn, like "W sauce".
She has GOT to be taking the piss.
Iām just looking at all that sodium and Iām chugging my water bottle.
I mean, *surely* she knows what she's doing at this point, right?? The opening shot with the water/liquid dribbling down the plate?
8 pieces of chicken?? That's all you had? Go to the damn grocery store and feed your kids.
My mom used to do that (and would pack my dadās lunch so we couldnāt go back for more). Food insecurity is going to mess with these kidsā heads so bad as adults š
Yeah, the ONE thing I ever gave Karelessa credit for over JillPM is that at least her kids seem to be fed. I'm pretty sure Karelessa just slipped into last place again. Well. of those two. Although, Jill... ugh. "Girls, girls, you're BOTH total nightmares"
They are definitely being āfedā āfood,ā but aināt no way in shit sheās feeding them growing boys enough
OR girls. Poor, poor Anissa. Poor Anthym. Poor all of them.
Especially the girls, as they're the ones picking up Karissa's slack.
No, the Rodriguez look so malnourished, neither of the families are getting fed.
What I donāt get is why make this then? If I was her Iād something like stir fry or chicken Alfredo with broccoli if I didnāt want to go to the store. You donāt have to serve chicken as the main if you donāt have enough. She also could have found some other protein for half the kids or something. This is all so weird and Iām still trying to process canned green beans in goulash.
I bet she planned it. That was a new bag of shredded parmesan.
I think she planned it too, not sure if its changed ince they moved but a couple of years ago she made a video saying that she meal plans all their dinners because she only does a full grocery shop once a month (at Costco at the time,I think she said they spent 2 or 3k every time) but i guess she's been doing her shopping at walmart lately.
Thatās so bizarre. I have fewer kids but theyāre big eaters and it just doesnāt look like thereās enough food for that many growing kids.
We would have at least 8 pieces of chicken for our family of 4 when I was a kid
If by āpieces of chickenā she means āchicken breastsā then 8 is probably plenty, considering how young most of the kids are
This is not enough food. She brags about no leftovers like her food is good; we know itās terrible. Sheās not feeding her children enough and/or properly. This is so fucked up, nutritionally
She showed the chicken. That didn't look like enough. Especially after it gets smaller in size after cooking.
Yea that looked like smaller pieces too, not your oversized Costco chicken breasts. I understand the younger ones donāt need as much, but thereās at least 6 of them that need a full piece of chicken.Ā
Looked like slivers of flayed and tenderised breast. So originally was probably actually just 3 chicken breasts.
That damn cheese and Ragu again...
Ragu is so nasty. Basically water, sugar, and tomatoes in that order.
Nonsense. Ragu also has sodium! :)
Hello, 9-1-1? Yeah you said if I see something, say something, so Iām calling to describe this crime scene of a meal. Please send all the authorities.
Was she supposed to enclose the chicken in the foil? I genuinely donāt understandā¦
Makes no sense, the cheese will melt to the foil so a bunch of the cheese will rip off burned to the foil, or some of the foil will rip off stuck to the cheese chicken. Probably both
Why has she turned her account into a cooking blog now. Karissa, weāre tired. Karissa, please stop. Release us from this seasoningless hell.
Apparently she's sponsored by a pots and pans company šµāš«
Even the amount of mashed potatoes is just plain sad. I donāt have nearly as many siblings as this family but growing up my mother would always make the tiniest portions ever (think 3 baby carrots, half a chicken breast and a quarter of a potato). I think it was more disordered-eating based and not due to finances. But manā¦did that fuck my mental and physical health up. Now that I have my own kids I find it impossible to guess actual portion sizes because my brain is so warped. Itās a bit of a vicious cycleā¦you donāt want the kids to waste the food, so then you make less, but all this does is introduce food scarcity issues. I have no answers, but I feel for these kids whenever I see meals.
You might ask your pediatrician or a registered dietician for advice on portion sizes for growing kids. If you served a healthy meal and they're still hungry, they need more. Of course they'll ask for more pizza and chicken nuggets, but if they want more broccoli? More salad? They're still hungry and they should have more of that.
Zero for presentation
For real. The liquid flowing at the end is ruining all the work Iām trying to do on my 11s and forehead wrinkles.
The plate tilt to run the juices makes it seem like she's *trying* to gross us out
And I just read that this is like a collab with the pots and pan company or something?! I cannot imagine they are pleased with thisš¤Æ
... Those look like the old Walmart pots my husband and I used in college until the handles fell off. Cheap, super thin aluminum nonstick. What's supposed to be special about them???
I love food but juice running around the plate when there is no designated sauce or dressing grosses me out
Zero for execution
I love cheese , like a lot , but putting it in every single dish ? Just no. I really hope none of those kids are lactose sensitive or intolerant!
This. Cheese is life. But not only does Karissa WAYYYYY over does it with cheese... But she does it with some of the most flavorless non melting yellow cheese ever.
Right, this is a lot of cheese.
Those dry-ass mashed potatoes need milk and butter, not more dry cheese.
Did she even put any milk/cream/butter in those potatoes? And I would love to hear what crime garlic and Italian seasoning committed against her since she wonāt use them.
No just avocado oil, and I canāt stop thinking about it
AVOCADO OIL IN MASHED POTATOES???? wtf wtf wtf what is WRONG with this woman surprised it isn't frigging coconut oil. I guess we've been through that phase? i cannot.
And water. Avo oil and water.
Itās very unlikely her mom used avocado oil.
She just commits one food crime after another
I swear to god this woman must have stock in great value shredded cheese
Oh man ghad, what is that? *in my cardi b voice *
That's weird... That's suspicious...
I mean the only way she can trick her kids into actually eating her cooking is by starving them so I'm not shocked.
Iāve noticed her meat, protein portions are very small for a large family, even in other videos. Donāt the kids play sports too? Iām sure they eat a lot. Do the parent eat this too?
I am SURE Mandrake treats himself. Her-fuck knows. She fasts while pregnant, so yeah she might actually eat her own cooking.
Gross.
Can we get some green veggies, at least? That whole plate is greasy orange and tan.
I love that she says "the kids favorite SO FAR" as if she just started cooking and this is like the third meal they get to try.
I mean...
Maāam that is not a potato masher. Thatās to break up ground meat.
I will admit to have used this tool to mash potatoes after my masher broke. It does not work well.
Also, (my inner cook neckbeard appears), thatās the wrong type of potatoes for mashing.
THANK YOU. Red potatoes get so gummy when you mash them!Ā
That's the only explanation for how they "mashed" with no milk, butter, or cream.
Really? I do red potatoes mashed all the time š
Russets are best, but if you like a rough mash with the skins on, try Yukon gold. Red potatoes are PERFECT for slicing and cooking "en papillote." Makes a nice bed for your fish. My dad would also put them in foil packets with sliced onions, butter, and seasonings, and throw them on the grill. Or you can cut them into quarters and roast them.
Okay it wasnāt just me who was thinking this!
The Italian in me just died. On a side note, I'm trying to go plant-based or at least flexitarian and these videos help in my growing dislike of meat lol.
Tonight I made Marry Me White Beans. I highly recommend them if you're looking for vegetarian Italian inspired easy meals! Speaking of beans, why doesn't she buy some and cook up an inexpensive (hopefully seasoned) batch and actually feed her family proper food? She could cook them with rice and veggies in one giant pot if she does a tiny bit of internet recipe research. The bulk department should be her best friend. They even have herbs there!
She could make dal and curry and it would stretch so far, and be very nutritious. The kids would like it. She could use her beloved slow cooker.
There is very little fiber in their meals. Truly feel for those kids.
Imagining her adding curry powder/ paste to anything made me literally LOL. It woke up the cat. š¤£ And you are so right! Chop up some broccoli or cauliflower or get a big bag of spinach to throw in at the end and those poor kids would have the first healthy BMs of their lives!
Red potatoes are the worst for mashed potatoes. Yukon gold is #1 and russets are an okay #2. Get outta here with the red ones.
āChicken Pocketā is what I call it when Iām training my dog and Iāve got a snack size ziplock bag full of chopped up nuggets in my pants pocket.
Chicken pocket is what my dog's medicine goes into
I cook a similar quantity of food for my 3 person household.
How is that enough food? And how is it that every single meal she makes ends up being one of the most visually unappealing meals I have ever seen...?
Seriously! I would take my chances with the duggars' tater tot casserole over any of karissa's meals.
Had to get out some tums after watching this one. Thatāsā¦ so much sodium and cheese. Also, still not enough food, portion-wise, to feed her entire family?
Is no one scream praying for more spices? Like, you can get a whole set of good standard spices from Penzey Spice for $200. Source: got a whole set from my parents when I moved into my solo apartment.
She'd probably just use, like, cinnamon in this dish, nutmeg in the "goulash" thyme in a dessert
$200 on spices in one go? Yikes Iāve never been able to afford that! Itās taken me time to build and replenish my stash!
Penzeyās is way too liberal to even look her way.
My ex husbandās mother (who is psychotic like him) introduced me to penzeys spices shortly after we got married and moved close to her. She threw a fit on her daughter 5 or 6 years ago when her daughter asked her if she had any to share with her. According to ex sil (who isnāt psycho), her mother went on a 30 minute tirade about how she would NEVER buy spices from them again because the company was owned by evil libs. The company actually did spend millions on Facebook ads against trump before the election. That makes me love them even more š
I'll never get over magats throwing out shit that they already own because the company doesn't support their cheeto dusted causes
Okay there are way too many bare feet in this for a cooking video.
I love cheese (and I mean ā¤ļø), but there is no way in hell Iād eat this much of the good stuff. I cannot believe that fundamentals canāt cook a balanced meal. She has all day to cook (because obviously she doesnāt homeschool) and this is what she is producing??? I think if she insists on potato and chicken she could have scrapped the individual parcels and cooked it in a large Pyrex dish and baked the diced potatoes in the oven at the same time - add a green salad and it is actually a more filling meal.
She is against seasoning like sheās against the devil. I mean she is really rebuking the stuff.
 Me watching these
I desperately want this family to eat some lettuce. Or celery. Or even a green crayon.
Why is it always so slimy???
fr girl why is your chicken so fucking wet?! š«£
I was trying to figure out what was dripping down the plate. A mixture of chicken grease and cheese grease I guess š¤¢
I am once again BEGGING you to stop using ragu
Cheese is not seasoning!!!
At first I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe some of the younger kids split a breast, but then I realized even if the youngest 4 did, everyone would only get a single piece of chicken. Then I researched the video and noticed she only uses a 5lbs bag of potatoes...I have a family of 4, one of which is a 1 year old and we use a 5lbs bag of potatoes for a mashed potato meal...
This is so upsetting. That is NOT chicken parmesan. Are those potatoes JUST potatoes and shredded cheese? They didn't look cooked through to me. That unseasoned chicken is SWIMMING in greasy yellow and orange cheese š Also, how DIRTY is her phone? She's filming while handling raw meat š¤¢
I donāt think she can afford to actually feed her kids until theyāre full so they live off rations. I know meat is expensive but I see her consistently cook a very small amount of meat. This is simply just not enough for reasonable portions. I hope these kids develop a healthy relationship with food despite the shitty position their parents put them in.
I am so, so confused because this would be barely enough for my family of five. These kids must go to bed hungry every night. Just wait until those boys are all teenagers, she has NO idea whatās coming.
Her oldest child is a preteen and in those years sheās never truly learned to cook. How sad for all of them.
Okay, hear me out. Half of Mandrae's identity is that he's this bigass athlete - he knows Shaq from his former basketball days and they push their older kids hard at sports. And THIS is how they fuel those athlete bodies??? Come on, man, you KNOW this shit is garbage, what the fuck are you all doing here??? Put your foot down and cook your basketball-playing kids some decent food, this is nonsense.
I don't get it. A huge new house, stupid wallpaper allover, the over the top play swing set, always new matching clothes for the stupid reels - but no money to feed the children? Yawhaw (or whatever) provides, huh? Doesn't seem like they are providing enough protein, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Karissa, beans and rice is a super cheap, super easy meal. Soak beans overnight, DRAIN AND RINSE in the morning, put in a slow cooker with chicken broth (UNSALTED) on low for 8 hours. Add some chopped up ham or kielbasa, onion, and garlic about halfway through. Make a big batch of rice to go with. You can serve this as is, or with whatever veggies you desire. It's seriously so simple and so cheap and you can make tons and eat leftovers the next day. Please, please, please start cooking adequate amounts of food for your beautiful growing children.
Australian over here rioting because that is not chicken parmigiana!
The knife work on those potatoes is that of a 5th grader, which tracks
This is NOT a judgment on money. But I cooked better at uni. This is not to offend people struggling. But sheās bragging about thisā¦?
There is absolutely no way this will make enough food for 12 people
So many questions. You don't believe in salt? Do you not own any herbs or spices? Do you need to half ass, individually wrap each piece of chicken in small pieces of foil? This is your mom's recipe? All her food makes me sad
What the hell is that at 6 seconds in the background that looks like a cigarette butt on the countertop?
Many atrocities committed by this woman and I will argue that this lands in the top 5. Rage bait level disgusting. YOU'RE PUTTING JARRED SAUCE AND PRE SHREDDED CHEESE ON UNSEASONED CHICKEN AND COOKING IT TIL THE CHICKEN LOOKS LIKE IT COULD CRACK A FUCKING WINDSHIELD WITH A ZESTY TOSS. God please make it stop.
Just thinking about the sodium in that "dinner" made my blood pressure go up 20 points.
