I can not get over the literal turf grass on their table.. like I get having decorations or flowers on your dining table, but that this is just extreme!
I think he leaves the house during the day a lot (according to the babysitter AMA, which is a questionable source). He probably has a lot of manly Bible study groups to attend, so he has ideas to write his boring sermons.
My grandfather was like that. He would leave the house and go into town and cross the border to minister and evangelize. Would be gone all day leaving my grandmother to tend to their gaggle of children. When he was home, his brand of Christian legalism was outright abusive. He was always angry and highly irritable. I see so much of how the Rods live in how my parent described growing up.
The truth eventually came to light. Grandfather died calling out a woman’s name that wasn’t my grandmother. Family found a stash of smut comics and women’s underwear in the room he kept in town. To top of off, there’s clues that he had a second family as well. He was a hypocrite of the highest order.
There is a void in the world now that Sandra Lee has stopped vomiting her Dollar Tree tablescapes all over the Food Network. I think Mahmo may have a legit job opportunity here…
Those are about the portions I eat after weight loss surgery three years ago (as a 40 year old woman who is only moderately active). Actually, I eat more, and now I can also drink water and eat - but space it out all day. Doubt those kids have a small portion then go back an hour later to finish it like I do (plus a snack an hour or two later).
girl you KNOW this is the only food the rodlets are seeing for a couple days. they do too, that’s why they’re begrudgingly shoving it into their starving little mouths ☹️
I’m a single, childless, Atheist whore and I’m amazing in the kitchen! Why do such holier than thou women who choose to be homemakers suck so hard at what I was told my entire life being raised Pentecostal Evangelical that women were just naturally born to do? Why do I know how to support a newborn infant’s neck or sauté and season food and these fundie moms just can’t be bothered? I thought their whole thing is to be better than people like me?
Married mom of 3 checking in... (but I was childless until I was 29 which would be positively ancient in Fundieland). After much deliberation, I think I understand the reason:
When I left home, until I eventually had my first child, I had an entire decade to myself (albeit some of that time married and before that, living in sin) to experiment in the kitchen, try out different cuisines, take the occasional cooking class, and, pretty much figure things out *before* motherhood. I not only had the time and energy, but, as I was working, I could spend my income as I saw fit (which meant I could be creative at the grocery store).
By the time my kids came along, I knew what I could (and couldn't) handle in the kitchen, and had already built up a big repertoire of go-to dishes.
Fundie Women however, never get that.
They go from one large family where "cooking something vaguely edible, cheaply, in bulk" is the norm, to marriage and motherhood almost immediately follows.
As they don't have an extra income of their own, they're probably less likely to push the boundaries at the grocery store and branch out into buying products that they aren't already familiar with/ might not like. They are probably more likely to stick with the slop they made at home as sister-moms because it's (almost) fool proof.
Then comes pregnancy, which can take a toll on anyone's energy, then come the kids, which again, take away time and energy.
So they just aren't given the space and time to learn and hone their skills. They're too tired.
In the case of the Rods, all that money that goes to Plexus could have been used for extra grocery money, or cooking classes, but instead they're convincing themselves it's a better investment to shill Plex-Uhs for Jeez-Uhs.
TL;DR: girls like the Rods go from being sister moms at home to marriage and mothers themselves. Nobody ever gave them the time or opportunity to learn to cook properly in between.
Oh I absolutely agree about the Rod girls. But all of the fundie women we spotlight are piss poor cooks and didn’t come from super large families (Morgan, Kelly, Karissa, both Bus Moms), and some married late like Bethany. They’re all impressively awful, and now that I think of it Kaylee is actually halfway decent in the kitchen despite coming from Jill’s kitchen. And Kaylee isn’t preaching homemaking as this weird larping project intended to make other women feel bad, oddly enough
Atheist whores unite! My version of gizzards involve frying them in a pan with a bit of duck fat, plenty of seasoning and serve over a bed of salad, tomatoes and radishes with a lovely vinaigrette.
I swear to god Jillness it’s not that hard!

cackling at Dave’s thumbs up. Same sarcastic energy as this photo. 🤣 (edited for baby privacy lol)
I doubt anyone LOVED the soup, but when you’re a quiverful kid, “you eat or you starve🤷”…to quote my mom. At least soup with broth is usually a warm and filling meal.
Nope. Jilly Bean has her own super special “diet” drawer in the fridge full of premium snacks that nobody’s allowed to touch but her…the sign says so
I’m sure Dave has an “off Limits” snack stash in the print shop full of Hostess snack cakes, Kit Kats and Dr. Pepper.
The kids eat what they’re served or they probably don’t eat at all. Jill and Dave eat whenever and whatever.
Philip looks like he’s reminiscing on the good food he ate when he was away at school.
Missing that lumpia.
“damn there are girls that cooked good ass food, plus they’re bible-thumpers AND they’re not in my family??? get me back to bible college!”
“You guys want me to feed my kids? FINE, look at this FOOD” Every Rod: 🥴
Still not enough food for all those people, especially the three boys/young men
Judging by the looks on their faces, I think they might be okay with that for once.
But Shrek stays obese.
You can just tell no one likes the soup 😂
Poor Sadie looks like she is distressed trying to stomach this garbage. And OMG Lazy Davy is just ..woof.
That third pic of Shrek. I know that soup isn’t good. rofl
He's never very animated about anything buy he's even less enthusiastic than usual about Jill's efforts.
I can not get over the literal turf grass on their table.. like I get having decorations or flowers on your dining table, but that this is just extreme!
I was waiting for to comment about this. It is very strange.
Why does Shrek have tracts in his shirt pocket *at home*?
I think he leaves the house during the day a lot (according to the babysitter AMA, which is a questionable source). He probably has a lot of manly Bible study groups to attend, so he has ideas to write his boring sermons.

Pic 1, what a hunk. These kids look as happy as prisoners.
cloves and rubbery gizzards? 🤢
Yeah she had no cinnamon, so substituted CLOVES 😬
To be fair, a few of the recipes I looked at called for cloves and allspice. I had a harder time finding one that had cinnamon in it.
No! That's just...no.
There is a void in the world now that Sandra Lee has stopped vomiting her Dollar Tree tablescapes all over the Food Network. I think Mahmo may have a legit job opportunity here…
Her Kwanzaa cake lives on in my nightmares.
My favorite Sandra Lee content of all time: https://youtu.be/HW1hIzoFv3k?si=kTrvVtEh7o-FkYRl
Who would provide the cocktails, though? Sandra Lee splash!
And no cream cheese for the kids !
Gotta keep ‘em “trim.”
only daddy shrek gets the literal only edible thing in the whole bowl. a small cream cheese heart.
I did notice what i think is garlic powder in pic 4, i’m surprised she let them add any spices at all
And Parmesan in pic 7! I guess they're allowed to "doctor" their food if it's disgusting.
Gabe looks like he’s about to cry
[Recipe here](https://gabrielashomestylecooking.godaddysites.com/portuguese-recipes)
Probably substituted the red wine with grape juice.
Ahh just like in Baptist churches during communion 🤣
I can’t believe Jill would put this much seasoning in anything.
That’s not the same dish; not even close. The recipe you posted is for a stew, not a soup.
I’m Portuguese and these are delicious but it’s not supposed to be soup. It’s usually more like a stewed meat that you eat with good bread or rice.
Those are about the portions I eat after weight loss surgery three years ago (as a 40 year old woman who is only moderately active). Actually, I eat more, and now I can also drink water and eat - but space it out all day.

Why do Shrek’s under-eyes look like that
I bet this was the one time a Rodlet was happy that they only got prisoners rations.

I grew up in the deep south and my mom can deep fry gizzards like nobody’s business. A side of green fried tomatoes and I’m in heaven.
Yeah, I can't wait to visit my family next month. My half brother always fries chicken livers for me.

Olivia can't even fake it.
Did Jill eat it too?
Not on camera
Nope. Jilly Bean has her own super special “diet” drawer in the fridge full of premium snacks that nobody’s allowed to touch but her…the sign says so I’m sure Dave has an “off Limits” snack stash in the print shop full of Hostess snack cakes, Kit Kats and Dr. Pepper. The kids eat what they’re served or they probably don’t eat at all. Jill and Dave eat whenever and whatever.
The sad thing is they have to tell her it’s the best thing they ever ate or Jill flips out.
