IT'S MY CHEAP EASY VEGETABLE CHILLI | IT'S VERY TASTY!! | The Sullivan Family 

I agree on not making kids eat what they don’t like! You know what’s best for your family.

I think you would love potato skins Zoe! Pack of Maris piper I boil them whole for 8-9mins to soft then cut in half and scoop some of the insides into a bowl and add whatever you want I add a tub cream cheese, cut up bacon (cooked), red onion and pepper then mash it all around in your bowl and scoop back into the skins and sprinkle with cheese. I then put these in fridge and then for your wee ones stick in oven for 20mims and then same for use later on/girls after dancing. So so tasty and easy I make first thing in morn stick in fridge and then stick in oven when needed. Xx

I think you are doing the right thing by not forcing a child to eat something they don’t like. I was taught to “clean your plate” and I’ve struggled with that all my life. And as you know US portions are quite large. Like you I never forced my kids to eat anything they didn’t like but encouraged them to try things. Growing up with healthy mental thoughts surrounding food and body images is so important. Keep doing a great job and don’t let comments get to you. Love your sweet family ♥️

I think things are slightly different now. I was one of just five in the 1960s early 70s. Money was really tight, it was the case of given what my parents could afford. No matter how badly off my mum and dad were there was always some type of maybe roast normally chicken but normally a pie on a Sunday, probably has led to my hate of pastry now even though mum made the best pastry. Highlight of my week was Sunday tea, bread, butter (not Marg) and jam, tinned fruit and evaporated milk. My sister and I had this on a recent meet up, bought back so many happy memories xx

When my kids where growing up, I cooked just like you Zoe. And the plates would all way come back clean. My son is a chef and always asked what spice I used for some of dishes he grew up with. I tell him I can't remember as I getting old.(65) As always love your channel, love from Australia.

bought the exact same pan 26cm from asda, so i can copy your exact recipes,,last stew lasted my family 2 days with a day to freeze,for when ever..hoping this does the same,keep on sharing these meals zoe,saving me a tonne xx

That looked very tasty n filling Zoe 😋. Love your attitude about what kids like or don't like to eat. At least you persuade them to try something first before they decide . Such a good attitude to have x

Looks so tasty could u send some lol well done zoe your amazing mummy ❤❤

Omg that looks amazing, i somehow missed this video I am so pleased I found it I will make this tomorrow. Non meat eater here so this is perfect for me ❤

Looks really nice think I we try 👩‍🍳

Agree 💯 not making them eat what they don't like. Looking forward to more recipes.

I love watching your cooking. I do much like you--I put things in dishes that look and sound good but maybe aren't in a recipe. I have to make your chili now. You gave me new ideas. Please keep showing your cooking. It's so enjoyable 😀

The chilli looks great I going to make it

Congratulations on your milestone. Here's to getting to the next 10,000.

Hey Zoey I agree with everything that you said about children and eating!! The Veg Chilli looks great! I love your style you are so natural and down to earth. love to watch you, you have a lovely family!! Go Zoey!! Take Care Sara xxx

that was so easy and quick zoe must make it

That looks really yummy and hearty Zoe and a great one for like you said when the children are in and out a bit will definitely be trying that thankyou 👍😊💖 xxx

Looks yummy. I add another can of beans, usually black beans and another can of diced tomatoes. Chili beans over rice makes the perfect protein meal. Again yum. Thanks for the cooking segment.🍵🥰

Love watching your channel. So feel good effect. You are are such a lovely family.

Congratulations on the 10k Sullivan Fam! I love a chilli! I don’t eat meat and put Quorn mince in mine, with a lot of veg too. I never use a packet now, it’s cheaper to use the spices and you don’t the additional chemicals you sometimes get in packet mixes. Instead of 1 packet, I use 2 tablespoons of chilli powder, (it seems a lot but don’t worry) 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cayenne if you like it spicy! Add more or less of the spices to suit your taste. Easy peasy! It looked yummy, I think I’m making chilli tonight! ❤️❤️❤️

I'll be making this soon. Looks delicious!!

The veg chilli looked delicious 😋 and very healthy. We are not big meat eaters neither definitely going to try this Zoe. Thanks for sharing. X

My kind of cooking chucking it all in and hoping for the best lol,!! And yes I agree don’t give the kids something if they are not going to eat it or they don’t like because we wouldn’t eat something if we didn’t like it! Healthy boundaries,! Xx

Congratulations Zoe 10k should be a million as I really enjoy your vlogs.Love your tips,folding love it.I'm going to try this chilli my mouth is watering lol.My favorite family by far on youtube.Keep up the good work zoexx Lorraine N.Ireland.

That looks amazing Zoe ,I agree with you I didn’t make my children eat food they didn’t like as my son suffers from stomach problems can’t have onions and my daughter can’t have gravy granules I am going to try that recipe as it is quick and easy take care guys xx

Your chili looks healthy and delicious! I bet it smelled great.

I love chop and drop and experimenting with different ingredients. I am so jealous we can't get those baked beans. Also, I am totally with you regarding not making the kids eat something they don't like, I often make 2-3 different meals for my kiddo's and I am ok with that. Blessings from this small Tennessee town. 🙏❤🙏

I love vegetables so this would be perfect for me. I only cook for one and making meals is always a pain. I didn't make my kids eat what they didn't like, no problem for me to make a hot dog or whatever they would eat, but my kids were pretty good eaters for the most part. So are the grandkids. Looks really yummy, black beans would be good in that as well.

You don't need to explain yourself your the parents and you know best how to feed your children, I knew someone that made there child eat what they severed and they ended up with eating disorder later in teenage years! Great vlog I need to experiment more vegetable meals 😃 thank you for the vlog ❤️💙

Hello fabulous lady!! You did it again 👌🏻 another amazing, fabulous looking meat free dinner, you made making it look effortless!! Am definately going to make this... looks absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious 🥰

Congratulations on the 10k subs! I've checked the numbers every day for the last couple of months and enjoyed seeing them creep up. Grated cheese or sour cream is great on top of veg chilli, extra calories though! X

We have 3 adult kids 37, 39 & 41 still living at home plus 2 grandkids 16 & 24. I have never in their lives made them eat things they don't like. We accommodate everyone's different tastes. If they don't want what's on offer they make something for themselves. I never wanted conflict over food and keeping everyone happy made our lives so much easier.

Yayyyy, congratulations to you all on getting to 10k subscribers ❤

That looks really good .. I’m definitely going to try that with the beans as well ❤️

Great recipe going to try it x congratulations on 10k subscribers ❤ my brothers and I used to swap food because I loved vegetables and they liked meat lol

It looks delicious. I can almost smell it all the way to my place !!!! 🇨🇦

Looks delicious

Congratulations on getting 10k subscribers you deserve it love to u all x

Congratulations on 10k 🎉 you deserve it and a lot more chilli looks yummy I love kidney beans Zoe I used to do different meals for my fussy eaters and my husband eats junk 🤗💞🙏🎉

My parents made us eat what was put on the table. I vowed never to do that to my child and I didn’t. I have a lot of bad memories of that. Luckily we grew up with a dog that would eat anything!!😅

I do a similar thing and usually bung all that in my insta pot, walk away and in ten minutes its ready to go with rice or on a baked potato. I don't have that chilli con carne packet option here in the States so I use a taco packet mix to give it some spice and flavor and it seems to work ok. Our son likes to sprinkle grated cheese on his too.

Yummy definitely going to try this and totally agree not to make kids eat what they don’t want

Looks delicious 😋! Congrats on 10K subscribers!!!

Yummy 😋 😋😋😋

I was the youngest of 6 growing up on a subsistence farm in the U.S. to a no-nonsense mother. She had absolutely no patience for picky eaters. Rule 1 was that you had to eat some of everything and everything on your plate. Rule 2 was that there was no complaining, but as long as you weren't complaining you could load up your own plate meaning you could load up a very small portion of your less favorite foods. I never had to suffer the consequences of complaining or refusing a good since I witnessed what happened to an older brother who complained. There was only one time we kids revolted without even discussing it and got our way. Things didn't go to waste on the farm. We grew up eating headcheese sandwiches, lots of liver, kidney stew and so forth. But whenever butchering was done the pig brains were saved for the neighbor who really loved them. One time after some spat with him, mom decided she wasn't going to give them to him when we butchered. Since we didn't waste things that meant she fried them up for us. It only took a bite or so before all of us kids broke into a spontaneous revolt. She was totally outnumbered. The fact that she didn't care for them herself probably contributed to the success of our protest. Raising my children I altered the rules a little because I knew there are some foods that many people don't like (usually veggies). If we were having broccoli for dinner and they didn't want it they had to have at least a serving of another veggie such as carrot or celery sticks since we always had those in the fridge in case someone was hungry between meals.

Hi Zoe Love your cooking section...ive always cooked fresh and kids are fussy as long as they eat it doesnt really matter. You dont need to justify why you dont make your kids eat everything you make... Some people need to be a little bit mindful when commenting. Anyway keep doing you and whats good for your family....sending Best wishes to you all ❤️😊

Hi Zoey, do you have a larger knife, then you won’t have to do every vege singular. Will save a heap of time,, love from Australia

I agree with 100% about food! The rule is you have to taste, but if you don't like it you don't have to eat it.

🥕🥔🧅🫑 tasty. X

Congratulations reaching 10K 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That looked so yummy ! Congrats again on 10k

love the video and your vlogs

Oh was a lovely veg chilli nice and healthy I love jt when you just bung stuff in a pan or slow cooker andit comes out better than you thought I usually put frozen mixed veg spuds mincedbeef stock cubes veg and oxo water pepper I salt it later if it needs salting and if jf wants thickening I use veg gravy mix and let it cook in slow cooker for hours. I've got jar hotdogs to put in one instead of minced beef love fran xxx

Yum!!

Looks delicious 😋

Looks lovely Zoe great vlog x

You made it to 10K!

Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers! 👍🥳xx

I don’t force my kiddos either! But I don’t make another meal, I say get a carrot or an apple or weetbix or porridge, or make a toasted sandwich and cut up veggies or something like that!

Enjoy down to earth good mum xxx

I agree I never force my daughter to eat something she don't like we do try new things some she ends up liking so don't it is what it is as long as they are eating and everything in moderation then its a win

Your family sod what people say don’t explain yourself 😊

Hi beautiful family well done 👍 it looks amazing when you have a big family you do the best for you family I love ❤️ that you don't make the kids eat food they don't like it's a big thing with my grandchildren if they don't like it you do not have to eat it and know that some of them are older they eat everything love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ the cooking one ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't blame you Zoe I never forced my kids to eat but I did try to encourage them

100% agree Zoe !!! children should not be forced to eat , it absolutely causes major issues as they grow. also if they have any conditions such as ASD (like my 3 all have) forcing any foods on them will stop them from eating full stop... You dont need to be told this but you are AMAZING !!! xxxx

That would be good over rice.

I always had my kids try what I cooked but if they didn't like it they weren't made to eat it. I always made sure there were sides I knew they would eat. I was made to eat everything my mom made and I hated it. My kids usually liked what I cooked as I always tried to cook what I knew they would like. If the chili is to hot I usually put a spoonful of sour cream in my bowl it takes some of the spicyness out of it.

For some of the kids that don't like spicy food you can add sugar to to cut the spicy food down some.

I never made my kids eat something they didn't like, after all I don't eat what I don't like.

I agree.i dont make my daughter eat stuff she doesnt like.thats not right.they will in time.

They have can openers now that will remove the lid for you and the edges aren’t sharp either

Do you guys eat haggis?

Well Done Zoe this looked lovely will make next week ..I.like chilli with jacket potatoes comfort food on cold winters night ..I think with the cost of food now more meat substitutes is definitely gonna help ..Hope Eva has had a lovely Birthday ..love to you all
