Bringing the Family Together Through Cooking
“I’ve loved the extra time I’ve gotten in the kitchen to create and make meals for the family,” Joanna shared in her caption. “I wanted to share another one of my recipes, spinach tortellini soup. It’s hearty and cozy, perfect for this Sunday afternoon.” Joanna’s post wasn’t just about sharing a recipe; it was about inviting her followers to embrace creativity and connection during a time when many are feeling isolated.
In the video, Joanna can be seen gathering ingredients with a warm smile on her face. As the former Fixer Upper star, who is also the proud mom of Drake, 15, Ella, 14, Duke, 11, and Crew, 12 months, with her husband Chip Gaines, she walks viewers through the step-by-step process. With Emmie by her side, Joanna turns this simple act of cooking into a bonding experience. “OK, Emmie, we’re going to pour six cups of chicken broth. Go ahead and pour that in there, please, ma’am,” Joanna gently instructed. Emmie, clearly excited to help, filled the pot with enthusiasm.
Adapting Recipes and Sharing Tips
Joanna’s approach to cooking is all about flexibility and creativity. “The recipe calls for fire-roasted tomatoes, I don’t have fire-roasted tomatoes, but I have diced tomatoes that are canned so I used those,” she explained. This moment highlights Joanna’s practicality and resourcefulness, showing her followers that they don’t need everything to be perfect to enjoy the process. “OK, Emmie, now you’re going to do half of a teaspoon of Italian seasoning,” she continued, guiding her daughter through each step with patience and love.
Joanna’s Fans Love Seeing More of Her Family
Fans of the Magnolia Table author were thrilled by Emmie’s rare appearance on her mom’s Instagram. “Love this!! Thank you for sharing. ❤️ Also, can’t wait to get your new cookbook,” one user commented. Another wrote, “Can’t get enough of your cooking shows, Joanna! Watching you cook with your family brings me such a sense of calm.” A third added, “Yum! Love your family!!” Joanna’s ability to connect with her audience through these personal moments is a testament to her authenticity and warmth.

More Family Fun Coming Soon
Earlier this month, Joanna revealed she’d be giving fans even more of a glimpse into her life as a mom of five. With social distancing measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the business mogul explained that she, Chip, and the rest of the Magnolia family were “looking for ways to focus on how we can make the most of our time spent at home.” In a March 19 post, Joanna announced, “So here’s what we’re gonna do: for the next few days, we’re going to share a new challenge and/or activity that we can all get in on together and share.” She kicked things off by sharing a video of Drake making chocolate chip cookies from her first cookbook.
We hope Joanna and her family are staying safe during this challenging time. Remember, we’re all in this together, and small moments of connection can make a big difference.
