Hi Renea!!! Your freezer meals always look super yummy. I want to make the Twice Baked Potatoes. Would you believe I never made them ever.Im making these for sure and soon. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes you share with us. You are such a good cook...Take Care...Great Video!!!...🦋
Hello Renée I found your channel a few days ago through the Canuary event. I'm hooked! I've been binge watching ever since. I love everything about your channel and what you do. I'm 62, an avid cook/baker/canner and I learn something from you with every video. I cant wait to try the cinnamon pull apart bread. Holy Cow! It looks amazing!!! I could sit here all day, many days actually, and just catch up with all of your videos. I'm your neighbor to the south, Ohio. We have enough lousy, cold, winter days that I could justify doing it. I look forward to everyone I start. You are delightful! I enjoy several homestead channels. You are, by far, the most genuine person I watch. Pretense shows and you aren't pretentious in the least. I so appreciate that. I wish we were neighbors. I watched you fry chicken and potato wedges outside and thought the other people there were truly blessed. I could sing your praises for a while. Like with your videos I'll spread my comments out. I loved seeing your home and gardens. The siding looks amazing! You have a new friend, indeed! Here's wishing you all the best.
Jaws…that’s a movie I can’t start without finishing! I list it in my top 5😊. I’m old, and my husband and I were dating when it came out. The girls behind us were screaming so much, we ended up laughing through the whole thing😅. Ohio here, too.
Just thought I'd let you know I made the Artisan bread you made in the last video. My husband said it was the BEST BREAD I have ever made! He likes 'em "chewy"! LOL!
🥔🥔Hi Renea ( & John.) Your kitchen🍲 is always So nice.AND clean too. L❤ve your channel! Ps- Your hair and makeup looks pretty👸. [From around the corner --in Ohio!!]🥔🥔
Received your pastel colored cook book yesterday in mailbox. Don't know if you got my previous comment, but gifting it to my Boss for that Parka (man, it's like a space suit) she gave me of her Dad's. You wear this thing at Fifteen below and winds, you feel like you are inside! I was just overwhelmed by her gift. She will knock your book, she's the type really country type person. I'm a 'City-it', a term I heard recently. Not even sure, if I belong here. And she can share it with her sister, who's also into a lot of homestead things. Anyway, getting windy. Pray it's a blessing. Just have to buy a nice thank you card with a message about being grateful.
We make swedish scallop potatoes, doing the same way minus the sausage and instead of making the sauce, you pour 1 liter of heavy whipping cream on the top and bake UNCOVERD until bubbly golden brown, ( 400* for about 1 - 1/2 hr) they are the most requested Potato dish by friends and family, nice and creamy, and no fuss with making sauce, they thicken up nicely from the starch of the Potato!
I also made your bread. I attempted making bread many years ago. I was so proud and loved the fresh bread smell. Our friend whose family owned a local bakery. Dan was known for his bread, asked me, "What is that?" I said bread! He insisted on taking my loaf. It was the size of a red brick and weighted as much. I later found out he sprayed it with shellac and gave it to his dad as a "doorstop"!!! I am excited to say my bread from your recipe turned out beautiful. Looks like bread and tastes like bread...and will not be used as a doorstop. Theresa
I love 'twice baked potatoes'! Mom made them all the time when I was growing up (I will be 76 years old, February 7) and she called them POTATO BOATS. I still think of them as potato boats. We ate them as a 'snack' type food and held it in our hands to eat...no fork or spoon.
These all look so yummy, especially the Twice Baked Potatoes! One time after a big family dinner I wanted to come up with a new way to use leftover mashed potatoes. I heated the potatoes to make them easier to work with. Using a muffin pan sprayed well with non-stick spray I filled about 1/3 full with a dip in the middle. I put a small turkey meatball ( any lean meat would work) & a pinch of shredded cheese in the middle seasoning as desired. I encased by adding more potatoes rounding the tops. Bake at 350 for 20 mins, turning up to 450 for an additional 5-10 mins until browned. They come out so crisp on the outside, soft & full of flavor inside and being individual servings are perfect for a change! I call them Potato Puffs.
I have never seen scalloped potatoes made with GRAVY but I am certain it would be delicious. When I make mine, I butter the casserole dish, add a layer of potatoes, layer of onions, a few slices of Velvetta cheese, sprinkle with flour and a few slices of butter and add salt and pepper to taste on each layer and continue layering in the same order until dish is full. Then I pour 1 cup of milk over the food and cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes and then remove the foil, stir contents if necessary and place back into oven to bake another 15 minutes or so, until all potatoes are soft and browned. (400 degrees)
Thanks for all the potato ideas! If you put a sheet white curtain over your kitchen window for sod light and also put a ring light with your camera to shine light to what your doing it would help your lighting issues. 😊
If you haven’t had a jacket potato baked on a bbq grill… you’re missing out. Was, poke, wrap in foil, throw on the grill one hour prior to putting your steak on. They are so delicious made this way, a jacket potato baked in the oven doesn’t even appeal to me!
Renea you are both beautiful and gorgeous with a large healthy dash of compassion and generosity thrown in. Have you ever wondered how some people find your channel? I found it one day when I was scrolling looking for a good cooking channel, I went through A lot of them then I just got a glimpse of you cooking and went whao hold on and I had to back up and find you again. You have been stuck with me ever since. You looked so happy to be cooking and chatting away and you had the kindest eyes and the most relaxed manner. I am so happy I found you.
Great video! Potatoes are a great staple to have around the house. You can do so many things with them and make many dishes:) Thank you for showing how to make such a variety of meals! My husband loves hash browns with eggs:)
Hello Renea, absolutely its scary. I do them samething whem my grandson comes to visit or stays for the weekend. I dont even let him eat popcorn unless my daughter or son n law are over.
I am always so impressed with how nice your nails look. What kind of polish do you use? I am 62 years old and have never found a brand of polish that doesn't chip after a day of housework,
Good Morning Renea and John! Love cheesy scalloped potatoes and twice bakes. 😋 Question the poor man's gravy looks like what my Mom cooked and poured over ground beef for SOS.
Yes, it is the same thing. My grandma called it poor man's gravy and we ate it over many things like burger, toast, potatoes, sausage, and lots more. It is good.
I got 5 beautiful locking lid containers today. Are they from you? They are beautiful but there was no note or anything included so I don't know who sent them.
I just found you a few days ago and I'm really enjoying your videos. I heard you talking about the weather and it sounds very similar to what I'm getting. I'm wondering what state you are in.
You told him 4 bags on the phone on your last video, so he got you 6? Bechamel is a white (mother) sauce made with a roux and milk, but once you add cheese to it, it’s a Mornay sauce.
I was just thinking about making twice baked potatoes too. Speaking of crazy weather, its +6 F in Winnipeg, Mb. Can. We hardly have any snow. I hope we don't get a big dump of snow in the next couple of months. I dog I had chocked on a piece of raw hide, scared the crap.out of me, luckily she was a big dog and I could get in her mouth and get that thing out, never gave them to her again.
I don’t know how you held that cast iron up as long as you did when I have to scrape it out, I have to have my husband hold it. And I scrape lol I absolutely love my cast-iron. Just wish it wasn’t so heavy. All I can say is those women back in the pioneer days must’ve been really really strong lol. FYI My husband just got back from picking up our Flashfood order at Meijer. I got 2 onepound packages of teriyaki steak, 1pound package of ground beef, four packages of two chicken breast stuff with cheese and broccoli so 8 breasts total,farmhouse bread,sourdough bread and artichoke dip for $34 , I’m so proud of our deal lol you know what I’m talking about
I certainly enjoy watching your cooking methods and recipes! I do wonder why you have a tea strainer hanging on your faucet.... What am I missing? Have a great blessed day!!❤
Well I just hung it there one day to drip dry after washing it and I have just kept it there every since. Each time I use it I wash it and hang it back up. No reason. Lol

Oh my goodness that is funny. I only thought we were the ones who used City-it. Buhahahaha
Hi Renea and John! Good way to preserve potatoes. I love a good au gratin casserole.
Have a blessed day!
You cook thank you my friend .

That sounds delicious.
You should freeze-dry a bunch of potatoes slices, for longer term storage!
Not just your food is beautiful and gorgeous. You are, as well. Your caring and spirit shine brighly😊
Outstanding Fabulous Totally AMAZING!!
Thank you Renea, ♥️♥️

My grandma used to make "poor man's gravy"!!! 😮 I never knew what it really was!
I think all of our grandmas used to make it.
Renee I don't know how you do it. My back would be killing me the way you work so hard in your kitchen

It all looks so yummy! I have not made scallop potatoes since 1980. 😂
Love watching you, I got so many ideas from you, you cook like my mother use to, Rip. Mom❤❤❤❤❤

Yes, many folks make the scalloped potatoes like you do. Either way is wonderful.
The au gratin and old fashioned potatoes will be perfect for dinner on the grounds at church Thank you for sharing.
Cooking for two. Absolutely perfect! ❤
What great recipes you share with us each day. You are a fantastic cook, no wonder your family comes to eat all the time. Have a blessed day.
I loved it when you said I’m not peeling these potatoes I’m lazy. I don’t peel mine either because I’m too lazy too. lol 😂
Poor man's gravy is delicious! I just love it.
Nice ideas!
I'm fond of the old fashioned ones. Mom never did cream of chicken in hot dishes (most cooks do these days). I love the potato flavor.
Renae owe my goodness looked so delicious yum🤗❤️ Shelby
My dishes never turn out like yours your dishes are so beatiful and look so yummy
I have potatoes to use up perfect timing thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for all the potato ideas! If you put a sheet white curtain over your kitchen window for sod light and also put a ring light with your camera to shine light to what your doing it would help your lighting issues. 😊
Thank you. I can never seem to get through the lighting issue.

Did I miss how you did the hash browns?....I'm guessing you peeled them, shredded them in a food processor, wrung them out?....they looked fantastic
I didn't show on camera but you are right.
I agree on the apron words saying beautiful and gorgeous! 😊
looks very very good

Your channel and watching you, makes my day❣ I love watching you cook. Thank you for reminding me of how to do all this❤
🌞 Hello Mrs. Renea And Mr. John . Thanks for sharing 🤗. How to make three potatoes side dishes 🥔 . The Lord Bless Both Of You .🙏🏻
yum! Thanks for showing how to do this ! yum
I would love for you to do a video of freeze dried potatoes and scalloped potatoes in a jar cheese and all and show us how
Yes I can.
Great video! Potatoes are a great staple to have around the house. You can do so many things with them and make many dishes:) Thank you for showing how to make such a variety of meals! My husband loves hash browns with eggs:)
Thank you for your videos!!! I love them🎉
Really enjoyed this video!
Absolutely love your videos ❤
I have never made twice baked potato but I’m going to after watching your wonderful video! I really thought they were hard lol

Hello Renea, absolutely its scary. I do them samething whem my grandson comes to visit or stays for the weekend. I dont even let him eat popcorn unless my daughter or son n law are over.
Hi Renea i buy skinless sausage for my grandkids from Philadelphia Pennsylvania
I love to cook potatoes in the instant pot. Just husband and myself so this is fantastic! Have you done a freeze dry with potatoes on video?
Not yet, But I will.
Hi Renea ; could you send me a link for where you get your olive oil in the tin ? Thanks Kim
I get my olive oil from Sams Club.
I believe the ones with the cheese would be called au gratin. Scalloped would have no cheese. (I could be wrong!)
I just call them cheesy scalloped.
Have a questions. After you blanch and freeze potatoes can you thaw and use for potatoe salad?
You can, however, the potato salad will be mushy.
I am always so impressed with how nice your nails look. What kind of polish do you use? I am 62 years old and have never found a brand of polish that doesn't chip after a day of housework,
I get them done with shellac polish. It rarely chips and lasts about 3 weeks.
Oh Renee my dad would make sandwiches with peanut butter, mayo and bananas on it. I never liked them.
Good Morning Renea and John! Love cheesy scalloped potatoes and twice bakes. 😋 Question the poor man's gravy looks like what my Mom cooked and poured over ground beef for SOS.

This lovely lady knows her way around a kitchen….like she’s worked in the food service industry!
No, I have never cooked or worked in the food industry. I just love to cook and feed people.
Instead of making the white sauce or poor man's gravy, just put cream !
Just cream and your garlic powder etc.
So much easier
You told him 4 bags on the phone on your last video, so he got you 6?
Bechamel is a white (mother) sauce made with a roux and milk, but once you add cheese to it, it’s a Mornay sauce.
He does that all the time. I just love him.
