My theory is Rachel's probably intimidated that Beth's husband, who probably works a full-time job, was able to knock the ball out of the park with what sounds like an absolutely king-tier meal while she can barely scrape together the most basic-bitch shit despite that being the only thing she has to do in life other than making sure her kids don't die.
On the subject of Rachel's cooking, I went back through her twitter timeline to see if she's ever posted any food she's made aside from those science experiment muffins for her kids or the cakes on her instagram. I can now confirm she's at least as mediocre as Pantsu when it comes to making tradwife larper food. Let's take a tour:

Slow cooker pot roast with potatoes and carrots, and not a single ounce of seasoning in sight. You'd find more seasoning in peasant stews during Medieval times when that shit had to be hauled across Asia and then shipped overseas. Hilariously, a lot of her followers were giving her shit for this in the comments, so it's nice to see she isn't fooling anybody. Nothing awful about this necessarily, but it's bland and minimal effort. There are so many more flavorful ways to slow-cook a roast than this for a large family, but I guess posting gifs was more important than putting in effort to make an actually impressive meal.

The odds of any of the noodles in this being hand-made are less than zero. It looks crispy as hell around the edges and I have no idea why she drizzled the top with sausage bits and cheese. Not exactly selling the whole 'trad life' angle with slop like this.
Lastly, my personal favorite:

Aside from the eggs, I defy you to point me to a single thing on that goddamn plate that didn't come out of the freezer. You can even SEE the bag that some of this shit came out of in the top of the frame! That sausage patty looks like it came from a dumpster behind the local McDonalds. Of course the bread wasn't home-baked, let's not even kid ourselves, but was the mountain of potatoes REALLY necessary? This is on par with a meal at Denny's during the red eye shift when the only cook staff still working are all tweaked out on meth.
In case anyone was still on the fence about all larping tradwives on twitter being shitty cooks, let this be definitive proof that someone's cooking ability is inversely proportional to the amount of gifs they tweet on a given day.
The last thing I'd like to take note of is the dates these were posted. Weeks, sometimes MONTHS would go by without her posting anything. So it's not like I'm just picking out the worst she had to show to dunk on her. Of all the things she cooks regularly, these were the ones that she thought were ready for primetime. No wonder one of her kids went to culinary school. They sure as shit wasn't going to learn how to cook from her own mom!
