  • Jinger Duggar Vuolo and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, sat down with Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse on the latest episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast
  • Plath remembered having her grandmother’s lasagna for Thanksgiving as a child
  • Jinger called the tradition “random,” but added, “I love that because lasagna is good”

Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Lydia Plath compared notes on family traditions in the latest episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast.

Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, sat down with Plath and Zac Wyse, who tied the knot earlier this year, to answer questions from listeners.

“We didn’t have too many traditions, like, that lasted my entire childhood,” the Welcome to Plathville star shared. “Like we had our Thanksgiving tradition for like six years, so we would rent a beach house and my grandparents, everyone would come to the beach for a week and we would have grandma’s lasagna for Thanksgiving meal.”

“It was the best thing in the world,” she continued. “But that wasn’t necessarily, you know, a tradition that’s carried on for 20 years.”

Jinger said she “loved” that Plath’s family had lasagna for the holiday.

“I feel like that’s just like a random thing to do for Thanksgiving,” the Counting On alum added. “Like you’re not having a turkey, you know, the stuffing, corn, mashed potatoes, you’re having lasagna. And I love that because lasagna is good.”

“My family had lasagna for maybe a Thanksgiving or two, but probably more so we would do it most Christmas or, like, special holidays,” Jinger recalled. “Like on Easter, we’d eat lasagna and it wasn’t homemade. Are you ready for this? Stouffer’s frozen lasagna. It’s actually very good. And it was my childhood. That was my childhood.”

When Jeremy remembered his dad buying Stouffer’s lasagnas in bulk, Plath revealed, “That sounds amazing and I’m really happy for you, but I don’t think I ever had store-bought lasagna until I was, like, 15.”

This isn’t the first time Jinger and Plath have opened up about their large families’ eating habits growing up.

“I think a lot of things that stand out to people with how I was raised is how healthy we were,” Lydia shared during a visit to The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast in July. “Like, we grew most of our vegetables. We grew as much as we could. It’s so fun telling these stories because I look back and I’m like, ‘This is insane.’”

Jeremy Vuolo and Jinger Vuolo attend the "Unsung Hero" screening at Lionsgate on April 17, 2024 in Santa Monica, California.

“Instead of going grocery shopping, we would meet a semi truck every two weeks at the top of our driveway and get a pallet of groceries,” she continued. “Then once a month, we would meet a semi and get a pallet of all the dry goods, like the oats, the raisins. We would buy everything by, like, the five gallon bag or the 50 pound bag or, like, bulk beyond Costco.”

Jeremy said that the Duggar experience was simply “10 kids going to a grocery store.”

In another episode of the podcast last month, Junger and Jeremy looked back at the early TLC show 16 Children and Moving In — including one scene with a food shopping trip.

In a clip from the 2006 special, the Duggars detail their purchases, which include 24 cans of milk, a case of butter and plenty of burritos. The items fill seven cartloads, at nearly $100 a cart.

“I was gonna say, is that typical, you guys all just, like, scattering around the store to go get stuff?” Jeremy asked. “Imagine what those prices would be today.”

“Oh, yeah. Insane,” Jinger replied.

“That’s gotta be two thousand dollars,” Jeremy estimated.

“It’s crazy to see this because, yeah, that was normal,” Jinger observed.
