Having fun in the Kitchen, Garden and all around our homes are a few of the things we will be experiencing and learning about together on this channel. If you are new to any of these things, then you are in the right spot ! I am still new to a lot of this also, so we can grow together and if you are seasoned in these areas, then we need YOUR input ! After COVID, I went from living my whole life in the city and moved out to the country and Jay and I built a home for the two of us and our two German Shepherds Ace and Heidi. Our grocery store is in the next town and they do not deliver ! So --- No mall, No Nail Salon, No Chick Fila and No Uber Eats ! Come along as I attempt to learn how to cook all our meals at home, grow a veggie garden and decorate up our new home! It is never boring out here for sure !

@@islandlady777 let me know if you try this and what you thought. Thank you so much for watching 😊
I am in the middle of designing a pantry for myself and was wondering what size is your actual cubes? They look so beautiful and uniform! Thanks for any information you can share with me. I'm kinda stuck trying to decide how to make the cubbies all the same size to get that crisp uniform look
@@wingandaprayer7777 sure. I will measure those when I get home tonight and let you know ! Thanks for watching. 😊
@ thank you so much.
15.5 inches deep (front to back) and 28 inches wide from left to right and 13inchestall from top to bottom. Same for the second row from the bottom. on the shelf that is brown --- they are 16.5 inches front to back --- because the lip of the shelf hangs over ---and 16.5 tall and the ones above that are the same width and 16.5 tall.the ones in the middle at the end of the pantry are a little wider ---at 32 inches wide. hope that helps ---- let me know how you do with your pantry ! i do wish that I had put some doors are the ones at the very top to store items that you do not see--- right now i have those empty. have a wonderful holiday !!
one more thing--- i do not know how much room you have, but if there is any way you could put an island in your pantry that would be wonderful ---- i wish i had made this just ma little bigger so that I could have done that. and also --- if you are able to put your microwave in a drawer--- instal o ne of those drawer microwaves ---- thta would be great --- I wish I had done that also --- that is going to be my first update probably in a couple years. Thank again for watchi9ng !
@@MelissaDiane1164 Thank you so much for all of the information. I have a much smaller space but I just loved the look of your actual cubby spaces! Thank you again for taking the time to measure these things for me!
I'm going to try it never made before from michigan
@@GlendaHewartson let me know how it turns out. Stay warm up there ! Thank you so much for watching. 😊
FYI Star anise has a slight licorice taste.
@@dannmartinez2145 you are right ! That is what that taste is. I kept trying to figure that out. 😊
Chocolate seized. I’d melt it separately and pour over crackers or the chocolate was cheap
Do you have any clue what crack is? That it's made from cocaine and it's one of the most dangerous addictive drugs out there? You're naming a candy after it. How sweet for your grandchildren then grow up and someone offers them crack they'll think of grandma and her sweet delicious crack and they'll smoke it all up. A month later they'll be selling their bodies to earn enough to buy their next high or they'll come to visit you and steal your jewelry to pawn it so they can buy more crack. Shame on you. Find a better name for your sugar high.
Incredible. So simple and love using the microwave and cooking with water. Thank you for sharing this recipe! So nutritious and tasty
@@eeechiban glad you liked it ! Thanks so much for watching 😊
no poultry seasoning?
@@ruthwilson1647 no. I have never added that but others have asked same question. I need to try it ! Thanks for watching hope have a wonderful holiday and Christmas !
Oh my goodness I shouldn’t have watched this video, they look SO YUMMY!! ❤❤❤ I must’ve been living under a rock, Melissa, I’ve not heard of haystacks either!
@@annabarber2729 Jay loves these !
Looks yummy Melissa! I should have tried them the other day when I was there!❤
@@annabarber2729 this stuff is addicting. Let me know if you want some. I will be making more closer to Christmas 😊
Never heard of Christmas Crack before, very interesting!! Looks good Melissa!❤
@@annabarber2729 oh it is good !! Thanks for watching hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Oh I have, the dealers on the south side mix a little red food coloring in with their crack for the holidays. The crack heads go crazy for that red stuff.
@ I am doing red and green for a party in a couple of weeks. 😊
Definitely gets better every day it sits !!
@@lisagrooms331 thank you !!
We love to put nuts on our Christmas crack. Chopped up candy canes with white chocolate instead of semi sweet is really delicious too
@@strawbz1371 oh my !!! That sounds just wonderful. I will for sure try that after Thanksgiving. Perfect for Christmas. Thanks for watching 😊
Hello, I have a suggestion. When you put the crackers down, turn them upside down where the salt side is down, so when you take a bite, the salt is the first thing that touches your tongue. The cracker taste better that way. The salt kind of counter-acts the sugar being so sweet.
@@terribauer301 oh wow ! Great idea. I am making these again on Tuesday to have for my family. I will try that. Sounds like great idea !! Thank you so much. 😊
Hi !! I did this. I turned the crackers upside down. Tastes great ! Thank you for the idea 😊. Happy Thanksgiving.
It tastes better to your salt addicted brain but for us regular people who don't have a salt addiction they taste better when the flavors are all melded together. How about you make your candy your way and everyone else can make their candy their way?
@ I tried both ways. Both are great ! Just wish they were not so high in calories My family moved them !
We used chinese noodles. Never knew they still had chips like that. Nice Thanks
@@katherinedinwiddie4526 I am for sure going to try them with Chinese noodles ! I think I might like that better !
My mom used to make those but she used Pretzel sticks but I think I’m gonna try your recipe instead
@@Bearded-Dragon62 wow. I never thought of pretzels. I am going to try that. Also. I have seen people use Chinese hard noodles but never tried that. Thanks so much for watching the video ! Have a great holiday season !

Where do you buy the cinnamon pecans?
@@kathleenworkman3884 hi ! I buy mine at HEB. Our local grocery store. Is a chain of stores in TEXAS. I will get the full name and get back with you.
@ Thank you. We don’t have HEB in Oklahoma. I’ll have to look for them so I really appreciate your help.
@@kathleenworkman3884 Hi ! Sorry for late reply--have work meetings all day ! I saw some called "Durhams Cinnamon-Frosted Pecans" They need to have the crunchy cinnamon sugar on them. Another brand I saw was "Pecan Nation -- calls them Cinnamon -- but have not tried those. Saw some on Amazon --- but yikes ! -- they were really pricey. Oh ! i just saw on line that DURHAM'S has a website -- cinnamon frosted pecans and for a 12oz bag it is 10.95. Not too bad--- and they are realy good. Please let me know if you try the recipe ! Thank yo u !
I often swap canned seasoned collard greens instead of spinach in my spin dip recipes. It's very good, and it's a smoky flavor.
@@BiscuitsMom917 oh wow ! That is a really great idea. I am going to try that next time. Thank you so much for watching.
That doesn’t seem very much herb at all ! You put enough just for looks ? I like your idea of herbs and fresh garlic in mashed potatoes and I would for sure do more then that 😊see what happened
@@haydehabdolahian7691 thank you so much for watching and leaving your comment. Let me know if you try the recipe. I really like your idea of using more herbs !
I never knew that about spinach. Good thing to know.
@@guestguest2030 yep ! Spinach is great for you unless you are like me. I miss eating it ! Thank you so much for commenting and watching. 😊
Yummy
@@carmalittamae1060 thank you so much ! Let me know if you get any of them and have any suggestions. If you have any favorite dips and want to share send to Melissadiane2021@gmail.com. Would love to video them and share they it is from you. Thanks again !

Thanks for the idea. My oven just stop working on me😢😢
I'm so sorry your oven is out ! Glad that this could help ! Let me know how the recipe did and if you liked it. Thank you so much for watching 😊
We just planned the dinner last evening. The traditional side are now requirements (who knew) but they are letting us change up the desserts a bit. But my family is just like your! Don't mess with what works well. Green bean casserole, corn pudding, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Its a lit, but there are about 35 of us, so we make a bunch. Enjoyed your show!
Thank you so much ! Thank you so much for watching my channel. It means alot and I appreciate your time. Please let be know if you have any other recipes that are your favorites for the holidays.

Oh my, this looks good! I'm glad that you mentioned you don't want it baked dry. I might have overbaked it if not for that caveat.
@@guestguest2030 thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment ! Yes. You want it moist. Set timer for less time and check and just cook longer if needed. Let me know if you cook this and how it turned out
@@MelissaDiane1164 Will do. Thanks!
I am Canadian who is married to an American, so we have one Thanksgiving in October, and another in November. I am currently getting ready to start making desserts tomorrow, and those will go in my freezer. I make the turkey and potatoes the day of, but any sides that can be prepped the day before will be made in advance. I really enjoyed your tips, particularly vacuum sealing your chopped vegetable preps.
@@guestguest2030 oh my ! You have a lot of cooking to do. Yes chopping up everything you can ahead of time helps a lot. And go ahead next time s d get your cornbread and bread for dressing a couple days ahead and just keep in covered bowl. Good Luck ! Let me know how it goes and if you learn anything new please share !! I have a dressing video coming out in a couple days. Check it out and let me know what you do for your dressing. Thanks for watching !!
@@MelissaDiane1164 Thanks! I will definitely be checking it out.
How do you keep the liquids inside the foil?
@@rburnett3537 the best way is to use one big piece of foil. I tried that and I actually like that way better. Also it works best to only freeze for a couple of hours just until the casserole is frozen. Also a large piece of parchment paper will work. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 😊

I wouldn't use 2 kinds of onions...just one.

thanks for this video! So helpful to see all you can do with the drawers for kitchen storage! What are the sizes and depths of the drawers? Thanks so much
Hi ! So sorry for the delay in getting back with you. I am working on a video this weekend to address this question and should have it posted a couple of days after that.
