In a few videos you’ve mentioned you have a Pinterest account but every time I search for you I can’t find your page I see a few recipes but no page. What am I doing wrong.
What a blessing you are to your in- laws. It’s easy to talk about doing the Lord’s service until the rubber meets the road. Taking care of others is complete dedication. You truly have a servant’s heart. God bless you Mel
So sorry to hear of the sickness in your family. Hope this finds her feeling much better. I make my chicken and dumplings like my granny and mom did. I make my dough with Formula L and milk. I make more of a drop dumpling. It's thinner than biscuit dough...but a bit thicker than pancake mix. I cook the chicken and add broth, butter, salt and will pepper the top of the dumplings. I have the broth and chicken boiling and drop the dough in by tablespoons. Pepper the top and cook them until done. The texture is that of a light, fluffy biscuit. Yum. Hope you have a great week ahead and God bless!
I enjoy your videos so much. A big part of the joy of cooking is creativity. If you want to add peas and carrots then that is your way of making your chicken and dumplings. I'm a 73-year-old Kentuckian. I was fortunate to grow up going to visit my grandparents, great-grandparents, great-aunts, and great-great aunts. All the women were wonderful southern cooks. When they made chicken and dumplings, they started by going out back to the hen house and getting a chicken. (They all lived on farms.) None of them every had veggies of any kind in the chicken and dumplings. They served bowls of fresh veggies in the summer and home-canned veggies in the winter.
In your merchandise can you offer a spoon that says "yay much"? Loved this episode. I appreciate you helping older family members, it's a special kind of doing unto others.
I can't even begin to thank you for the crockpot recipes! I was married for 25 years and now I've been divorced for two years and I live on my own. I have no interest in cooking for just myself and I have a bad habit of grabbing fast food on the way home from work every night. I'm looking to use my crockpot and cook enough for two so I can take leftovers to work the next day. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes! I appreciate it so much!!
I love that your recipes are now on a website! I don't have Pinterest, but I save all my recipes as links in folders. Now I can add so many Mama Mel recipes to those folders! Thank you!
LAast night I put onions, celery & carrots in my rolled flat dumplings with chicken. For the first time I added some cream of chicken in the chicken stock. I made 200 dumplings. Hubby said it is the best pot I ever made.
I don't remember ever having veggies in chicken and dumplings but I think I would like it that way. I liked all of the recipes you fixed in this video. I love crock pot ideas.
Hello Mrs Alma, How are y'all doing tonight?We are doing well.Love y'all.We are getting ready to get a Aldi's grocery store here the first of the year.Love from Lula Mae and Family.💞🥰💕
Hey hey sweet Alma! I hope my prayers are helping u get thru ur present Crohns trial & Tony is holding on til his surgery?!! Life is so unpredictable sometimes! Lmk how u all are doing ok?! Love u sweet friend! 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its so comforting to hear someone talk the same way you do...the pumpkin pie spice ..about yay much.❤️ The pie will definitely be on my Thanksgiving table... 😋 Yum.
Of course, you’re the favorite of favorites ❤ Bless your heart, it’s so wonderful to hear that family is helping family, this is what I was raised to do, but unfortunately it’s not common anymore. Love you so much, congratulations on the wedding and praying for Patrick’s parents! Happy Thanksgiving early and blessings on your entire family 💗💗🙏🙏thank you for sharing life with us, I enjoy every video!
The only veggies in chicken and dumplings were onion and garlic, and maybe celery... unless it was chicken dumpling soup... then it definitely had celery, garlic, carrots, and green pepper and more broth. 😊
Rather than buying pre-mixed spice concoctions, I prefer to buy granulated garlic, granulated onion, and mixing those together and adding some fresh-cracked pepper to the mix. Use salt as you prefer and in the long run, this is cheaper than the pre-mixed stuff. Love your channel!!
My Memaw (grandma) raised me. She would put veggies in with her chicken and dumplings in hers if she had them, if not they still came out great. Same way with her chicken noodle soup
Oh my! These all look delicious!! Thanks, Mel. I now have some new recipes I'm looking forward to trying this Winter. I use my pizza cutter too, to cut my dumpling dough. Works like a charm. I'm going to try your Granny's tip of salt and peppering the dough. I've never done that. We never added veggies but I like the idea of adding the peas and carrots. Comfort food for sure. 💗
I don’t remember Mawmaw ever putting any veggies but we did do biscuits for the dumplings. We also used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup in dumplings. Delicious! I love all your recipes, thank you for the recipes you share and your time!
I about fell off my chair when you put the chicken broth in the first recipe. I'm gonna try the cheesy chicken without any chicken broth. I've made a similar recipe in the oven. There's plenty of liquid with the onions. The Rotel liquid, the tomatoes, the butter in the stuffing and the cream of chicken soup! Thanks this looks great. Love the chicken n dumplings recipe too.. with veggies
I really love your creativity! Keep it up my friend! Success is what happens after you have survived all of your disappointments! Never give up, great things take care! It deserves all success around and I'm here for you!
Love your humor in the kitchen Mel..😅😂❤ never do bake but enjoyed that pie for the holidays.. Will try for sure.. My grand in college is learning from u to make crock pot meals.. Makes her life easier and she freezes leftovers.. Thks Mel.. Your fan here in SW Texas🎉🎉🎉
Oh Momma Mel! God bless you! You never,ever disappoint! I don’t know what to try first but I believe it will be the chicken and dumplings!! My very favorite ! I can’t wait to try the dumpling trick! Genius! The dessert looks great and I have everything here for that too. One of the many reasons you are my fav you tube personality! Things you have in your pantry even tho the kids are grown & have family of their own now. I so wish they were closer in distance. Would love to have Sunday dinners etc. They are both wonderful 21:46 and come running if we are in need. So blessed! Soon the table and our hearts will be full at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Life and much love around the table. Well worth the exhausted Grammy and PaPa for sure. God bless you and prayers for your family! ❤
Thanks Mama Mel for sharing all of the delicious looking recipes with us. Y'all be blessed and have a wonderful week.Love from Lula Mae and Family.💕🥰💞🌹
Mel that first recipe I've been making for years except my cheese was Monterey Jack. I'm really looking forward to the Swiss & the Rotel! Have a fabulous week!
You know how we are always looking for new chicken or crock pot recipes. I'm super excited to try that first one because it looks like the perfect combo. 😊
Loved the addition of peas and carrots in your chick and dumplings. I'm raising my 2 grandsons and always looking for ways to get veggies in our meals. So glad i found your channel!
"There ain't no such animal" I love that! We always have chicken n dumplings with only chicken and dumplings no veggies. Tho I enjoy adding them when I can get by with it.
Oh Mrs .Alma i forgot to tell you we are getting ready to get a Aldi grocery store here.Sending continued prayers,love y'all from Lula Mae and Family.💕🥰💞
Oh Lula Mae, u are gonna feel the blessing of God in ur grocery shopping! I can't tell u how exciting it is to know they guarantee everything too, just like Trader Joe's! SO happy to hear ur getting Aldis! 🙋♀️🎃🌻❤️🍁
I'm going to make ALL of these recipes over the next couple of weeks. and you're right Mel, found all the ingredients waiting in the pantry. thanks again❤❤❤
Hi Mel! You are speaking my language tonight! I would love to use my crockpot for every meal if I could get away with it. I especially enjoyed watching you tonight because I already have all of these ingredients. Guess what we will be eating this week!
I’ve never heard of Auntie Nonos till I watched you and Mandy in the making. You said that it’s salt, garlic and onion powder, so I made my own but I used season salt instead of salt and man oh man is it good!!! ❤ watching your videos
That's awesome, I always encourage people to make everything their own. And it's just amazing how much a few simple, inexpensive seasonings can improve the taste of anything! 😊 And I appreciate you being here so much 💓
That Hawaiian stuffing mix from ALDI is so good, I just had it last night for the first time and I’ll definitely be getting it again. I just got a new slow cooker, definitely want to try some of these 😊
I like vegetables in all my meals. I think chicken and dumplings is one of those meals that add in what you have. Since I’m the momma you’re getting veggies in your dumplings. 😂 I enjoy watching your videos. 💕
I had actually made chicken and dumplings in the crock for the first time today. I usually make them on the stove. I’ve never had chicken and dumplings with vegetables before. My family and everyone else I know cooked them with just chicken and dumplings. The vegetables would be a nice addition every once in a while. These crockpot recipes look delicious. I just added a couple of new crockpots to my collection and have been using them several times a week now. Love your channel.
I don't know if I've ever commented before but I do enjoy your videos. They remind me of home. Makes me want to cry, actually, because I miss my people in the little town where I grew up and the home cooked meals we shared. Happy Thanksgiving, Mel!
😊About chicken and dumplings. My Grandma added carrots and celery. The dumplings were essentially Bisquick drop biscuits. I love that kind of dumpling the best even now.
Hey Mel, I have never made Chicken & Dumplings, but ur the chef and adding veg is always a healthy boost, so I'll prob add them too! I just love how they "cook" in just steam & indirect heat! That stuffing recipe looks delish too, so if I cant afford Turkey, I might just sub that! I sure hope ur kin gets better ... saying prayers & asking God to bless u all. Have a beautiful week, we're gonna get to a balmy 54° this week! 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️
I think you'd like this alot, I liked it almost as much as the regular crockpot chicken and stuffing I make in the crockpot. And hope you give the chicken and dumplings a try, they were great. Thanks so much for remembering my family in your prayers, we've been hit pretty hard the last few months with some hard diagnosis and other unexpected illnesses, and I know my family is just one of many walking these hard roads together. We just do the best we can to take care of our loved ones, trust in the Lord, and keep our chins up. 👍🏼😊🙏 I just don't know what people do without the Lord and family to lean on, good times and hard ones, too. I appreciate you friend ❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Awe, I didn't know u have had many things, u know what they say they usually come in 3's & 7's, hoping it's 3's for u all! It is trying to go thru deep valleys, but I couldn't agree with u more, it's all gonna turn into one blessing after another when Jesus turns it together for good! I'll keep u close in my heart and prayers this week, sweet Sis! I'll be hoping that ur burdens get lighter every day! Sending love & hugs, 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The only veggies in chicken and dumplings are the onion and celery, but the next time I'm going to add the peas and carrots! The more vegetables the better. Thank you for the tip.
Thanks Mel, 😊 your food looks so scrupulous all the time. I love crackpot cooking. It's so easy. It's good to come home to a dinner ready to eat. Especially when it's called out. Blessings
My Mama Rosie’s chicken and dumplings were the best and she didn’t put vegetables into them. Gotta agree with your father in law on that 😀. She made them completely from scratch, and she did make the rectangle shape like you did (so do I). She had an old, soft cotton bedsheet that she kept in a flour container and that’s what she rolled them out on. Now, her son, my father, did occasionally make them from biscuits and cream of chicken soup and they were still very good, but he also didn’t put vegetables in them. I, too, do not put vegetables in them. But, if you had offered me a bowl of yours, I would have been very happy to have them! 😀.
Our chicken and dumplings always had celery, onion, peas, and carrots in it so that it was a complete meal all on its own. That way we only needed a big bowl of it and a spoon. Little bity clean-up and no fuss. My mom used to make the dumplings from Bisquick drop biscuits. They were great too!
My grandma made chicken and dumplings (home-made) all the time and we loved it! She did not include any veggies. But, I do sometimes and the fam loves them with our without.
You are one of my very favorite TH-camrs! I am waiting on my first crockpot to get here from Amazon. I’ve been watching you for a year now and I’m rewatching your crock pot videos for recipes!
Thanks so much for your encouraging word today! I'm so happy that you're here and that my videos are helping you out and congrats on that crockpot and I'm working on another crockpot video as we speak LOL
My grandmother made her dumplings with just dark meat chicken and broth. I was never a big fan of dumplings, no matter how they were made, but my mother loved them and made hers the same way.
Ohhhh the putting the biscuits in a bit of flour is such a great idea girl!!!! I've done just the biscuits alone and they get a slimy texture. This would totally help with that. I know what we're having for supper tomorrow night. We are expecting a cool rainy day tomorrow so perfect chicken and dumpling day! Thank you!!! 😘👍😘
All of these looked so good. My mom always used the canned biscuits for the dumplings. I love them cooked like that. I think she added veggies. I really don’t think I can pick a favorite from this video.
Never had the vegetables in my chicken and dumplings either lol that makes it like a pot piebut i love peas and carrots so im sure it was delicious 😋 😊❤
That was more like chicken pot pie in the crockpot 😊 chicken and dumplings don’t usually have veggies other than onions and celery. Thank you for sharing, the meals were awesome.
Mom always made her dumplings without veggies. She also made butter dumplings. Im going to try the pie, going to try and make it sugar free. Hope it works❤❤❤❤
Oh, I would LOVE to hear the results for the sugar free pie version. I'm diabetic so no desserts for me... and that means nobody else gets them either. 😂
My great granny always used celery, carrots and onion in hers, but that was so it flavored the stew and extended the pot. She was one of 12 kids… so that’s how we make it too.
Y’all love dumplings so much, I think you and yours will really love matzah balls! Get a pack at the grocery store, probably with the ethnic items, follow directions and enjoy! They also don’t cloud up the soup as much…❤
Hope they are feeling better 🙏🏻 Chicken pot pie 😆😂🤣 I’ll have to agree with Patrick, but it did look delicious! I don’t make mine with vegetables, I don’t think my grandma or great grandma did either but I’ll have to ask my momma. That meat mallet came in handy 😂 Have a great week Mel.
Per Patrick's request it shall never have veggies again 🤣 And thank you for your prayers, we're trying to get my momma in love back to her old self, she had a rough go with pneumonia and it really wore her down. We need her swinging that mallet again real soon 🤣
Thank you so much, Mel!! All 3 recipes are going in my recipe box!! I love chicken and dumplings and that pie looks scrumptious!! And I love tex-mex as well! 😘
Veggies go in chicken pot pie. I’m with your husband on that one. But hey if y’all like them by all means add em. It sure looked delicious . I would definitely try them that someone else made first then if I like it I would make mine that way.
It's always so fun to watch your videos, you draw us in with your great recipes and your sweet, kind, heart. My grannie made the best dumplings then my momma made them that tasted exactly like her moms. I would always watch as she poured the water in the flour bin with the crisco and salt and take her hand to make a ball of dough. I've tried that only once because I had a mess in my whole container of flour!! There is an art to those dumplings but it seems like I'm the one next in line who tries her hardest each year to perfect that recipe. You touch my heart by taking such good care of your family. Love and blessing to you sweet friend!
Awh, thank YOU so much for your kind words and what a sweet memory 💗 my mamaw and momma can make good ones like that too, but I'm like you 🤣 it's definitely an art. But we can do canned biscuits 😉
My grandma never made chicken and dumplings, but I am a grandma now, and the grandkids and I love mine with peas and carrots. Going to try your dumplings!
Great looking recipes, Momma Mel! I switched to Good Chop from another service, and so far, they have been great! When my beloved grandma made her chicken and dumplings, they didn't have vegetables in it ... but, hey, anywhere you can get a serving of veggies in is alright with me! Continuing to enjoy your channel! 😊❤
So maybe if we drain the Rotel it would not be so moist? I have found when using a full container of broth, if I pierce the carton it comes out so much better. Adding that extra hole gives it a better flow. Enjoy your videos so much!❤😊
I just love you and everything you make 😊😊❤. I'm going to cook try to cook all these recipes. Chicken and dumplings, yes!! Have a great night, Love you Mama 💓🤗😋👍💖
Oh my look at that pie!!! It looks so delicious. I may have to make a sugar free version for my hubby. I’m so glad I found your channel today and have already watched several videos. Hooray for crock pots. I love cooking in them in the summer too because I can make comfort food without making the kitchen a fiery inferno. Thanks so much Mel you’re a breath of fresh air in this sometimes stale world

Sunday evenings with Momma Mel is my favorite way to relax before the crazy week starts. These all look delicious! Thank you!!
Thank YOU so much for watching ❤️
Yes mine too!
Mine too
Absolutely! Feels like she's in my kitchen with me....with real family meals.
❤😊❤🙏🏼🙏🏼I TRY TO CHOOSE 2 MEALS WITH MEL, A WEEK TO TRY. I WRITE DOWN INGREDIENTS ILL NEED. IT'S SO HELPFUL. SO FAR EVERYONE IVE TRIED ARE HIT.❤❤❤

I love it! I definitely need that and something that says, "It's rustic!" LOL for all my ugly food that tastes great! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel yes, rustic! Definitely describes my cooking!
Love this idea! 'About yay much' 😅😂
I just love the way you present yourself. You seem like such a cozy person to be around. ❤

Can’t wait to try these recipes. I love using the crockpot.
Me too, it's been a life saver these past few months
I love how us southerners pronounce 'high' as a two syllable word!!! Good Sunday night as usual 😊

Of course, you’re the favorite of favorites ❤ Bless your heart, it’s so wonderful to hear that family is helping family, this is what I was raised to do, but unfortunately it’s not common anymore.

Have a beautiful week, we're gonna get to a balmy 54° this week! 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️
I think you'd like this alot, I liked it almost as much as the regular crockpot chicken and stuffing I make in the crockpot. And hope you give the chicken and dumplings a try, they were great. Thanks so much for remembering my family in your prayers, we've been hit pretty hard the last few months with some hard diagnosis and other unexpected illnesses, and I know my family is just one of many walking these hard roads together. We just do the best we can to take care of our loved ones, trust in the Lord, and keep our chins up. 👍🏼😊🙏 I just don't know what people do without the Lord and family to lean on, good times and hard ones, too. I appreciate you friend ❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Awe, I didn't know u have had many things, u know what they say they usually come in 3's & 7's, hoping it's 3's for u all! It is trying to go thru deep valleys, but I couldn't agree with u more, it's all gonna turn into one blessing after another when Jesus turns it together for good! I'll keep u close in my heart and prayers this week, sweet Sis! I'll be hoping that ur burdens get lighter every day! Sending love & hugs, 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What delicious looking dishes!! Especially that pie!!❤😊
The only veggies in chicken and dumplings are the onion and celery, but the next time I'm going to add the peas and carrots! The more vegetables the better. Thank you for the tip.
Thanks Mel, 😊 your food looks so scrupulous all the time. I love crackpot cooking. It's so easy. It's good to come home to a dinner ready to eat. Especially when it's called out. Blessings
Thank you and you are so right 😊
Yum! I think I am going to make a low carb variation of that pie! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!
My Mama Rosie’s chicken and dumplings were the best and she didn’t put vegetables into them. Gotta agree with your father in law on that 😀. She made them completely from scratch, and she did make the rectangle shape like you did (so do I). She had an old, soft cotton bedsheet that she kept in a flour container and that’s what she rolled them out on. Now, her son, my father, did occasionally make them from biscuits and cream of chicken soup and they were still very good, but he also didn’t put vegetables in them. I, too, do not put vegetables in them. But, if you had offered me a bowl of yours, I would have been very happy to have them! 😀.
Thanks for the yummy recipes.
In the description of the Caramel Pecan Turtle Pumpkin Pie it states the pie is decedent. 😂 I bet it is decadent.
Lol, honey, this ain't a spelling channel 🤣🤪 why didn't spell check have my back 🤣
Our chicken and dumplings always had celery, onion, peas, and carrots in it so that it was a complete meal all on its own. That way we only needed a big bowl of it and a spoon. Little bity clean-up and no fuss. My mom used to make the dumplings from Bisquick drop biscuits. They were great too!
Mamma Mel you are one of my favorite TH-camrs !
Mel, these all look so good! Will try the chicken and dumplings first. Hope mine turn out as good as yours!
My grandma made chicken and dumplings (home-made) all the time and we loved it! She did not include any veggies. But, I do sometimes and the fam loves them with our without.
Love these! Can't wait to try these recipes! Thank you so much!
You are one of my very favorite TH-camrs! I am waiting on my first crockpot to get here from Amazon. I’ve been watching you for a year now and I’m rewatching your crock pot videos for recipes!
Thanks so much for your encouraging word today! I'm so happy that you're here and that my videos are helping you out and congrats on that crockpot and I'm working on another crockpot video as we speak LOL
My grandmother made her dumplings with just dark meat chicken and broth. I was never a big fan of dumplings, no matter how they were made, but my mother loved them and made hers the same way.
Ohhhh the putting the biscuits in a bit of flour is such a great idea girl!!!! I've done just the biscuits alone and they get a slimy texture. This would totally help with that. I know what we're having for supper tomorrow night. We are expecting a cool rainy day tomorrow so perfect chicken and dumpling day! Thank you!!! 😘👍😘
I very much look forward to your videos on Sunday evenings. You are my favorite TH-camr Momma Mel ❤
Awh, thank you! 😊 I appreciate you being here every week ❤️
Great recipes!
I love my crockpot, can’t wait to try them ❤
All of these looked so good. My mom always used the canned biscuits for the dumplings. I love them cooked like that. I think she added veggies. I really don’t think I can pick a favorite from this video.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your kind words and hope you love em all 😊
Never had the vegetables in my chicken and dumplings either lol that makes it like a pot piebut i love peas and carrots so im sure it was delicious 😋 😊❤
The dumplings looked delicious and I’m definitely making the pie for Thanksgiving!! ❤
Your meals look delicious 😋
I really enjoyed watching your video. Because I try some of the recipes for my family and friends. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us today 😋.
That was more like chicken pot pie in the crockpot 😊 chicken and dumplings don’t usually have veggies other than onions and celery. Thank you for sharing, the meals were awesome.
That's what my hubby said, too. 🤣 And that man don't want NO veggies in his 🤣
Mom always made her dumplings without veggies. She also made butter dumplings. Im going to try the pie, going to try and make it sugar free. Hope it works❤❤❤❤
Butter dumplings sounds like something I'd be down for 😊👍🏼 and I bet it will turn out great with the sugar free versions of the ingredients.
Oh, I would LOVE to hear the results for the sugar free pie version. I'm diabetic so no desserts for me... and that means nobody else gets them either. 😂
You've really inspired me the last few weeks. I love your spirit. So sweet and fun. Remind me of my Mama.
My great granny always used celery, carrots and onion in hers, but that was so it flavored the stew and extended the pot. She was one of 12 kids… so that’s how we make it too.
Y’all love dumplings so much, I think you and yours will really love matzah balls! Get a pack at the grocery store, probably with the ethnic items, follow directions and enjoy! They also don’t cloud up the soup as much…❤
Hope they are feeling better 🙏🏻
Chicken pot pie 😆😂🤣 I’ll have to agree with Patrick, but it did look delicious! I don’t make mine with vegetables, I don’t think my grandma or great grandma did either but I’ll have to ask my momma.
That meat mallet came in handy 😂
Have a great week Mel.
Per Patrick's request it shall never have veggies again 🤣 And thank you for your prayers, we're trying to get my momma in love back to her old self, she had a rough go with pneumonia and it really wore her down. We need her swinging that mallet again real soon 🤣
I will keep her in my prayers 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Mel!! All 3 recipes are going in my recipe box!! I love chicken and dumplings and that pie looks scrumptious!! And I love tex-mex as well! 😘
Honey, this one was for you then! Thanks for watching 😊
Looks great! Thanks Mel Jennifer 😊
Thank YOU so much for watching ❤️
Veggies go in chicken pot pie. I’m with your husband on that one. But hey if y’all like them by all means add em. It sure looked delicious . I would definitely try them that someone else made first then if I like it I would make mine that way.
Oh my goodness...that pie!!! ❤. Have a happy Thanksgiving Momma Mel!!! Love your videos!!! ❤
It's always so fun to watch your videos, you draw us in with your great recipes and your sweet, kind, heart. My grannie made the best dumplings then my momma made them that tasted exactly like her moms. I would always watch as she poured the water in the flour bin with the crisco and salt and take her hand to make a ball of dough. I've tried that only once because I had a mess in my whole container of flour!! There is an art to those dumplings but it seems like I'm the one next in line who tries her hardest each year to perfect that recipe. You touch my heart by taking such good care of your family. Love and blessing to you sweet friend!
Awh, thank YOU so much for your kind words and what a sweet memory 💗 my mamaw and momma can make good ones like that too, but I'm like you 🤣 it's definitely an art. But we can do canned biscuits 😉
I love your videos, my husband and I love your recipes. Thank you; the hardest part of being the cook is coming up with something new for dinner.
I agree with you, I don't mind cooking - I just want someone to tell me what to make LOL
We always had the veggies in our chicken and dumplings. Love the flavors.
Thank u for video .your food look yummy I never put vegetables in my chicken dumplings Iam going try it next time I fix some
I really liked it 😋
These all look wonderful and easy. Thank you 🙏
My grandma never made chicken and dumplings, but I am a grandma now, and the grandkids and I love mine with peas and carrots. Going to try your dumplings!
Great looking recipes, Momma Mel! I switched to Good Chop from another service, and so far, they have been great! When my beloved grandma made her chicken and dumplings, they didn't have vegetables in it ... but, hey, anywhere you can get a serving of veggies in is alright with me! Continuing to enjoy your channel! 😊❤
So maybe if we drain the Rotel it would not be so moist?
I have found when using a full container of broth, if I pierce the carton it comes out so much better. Adding that extra hole gives it a better flow.
Enjoy your videos so much!❤😊
I would love a cookbook with all these ideas!!
I just love you and everything you make 😊😊❤. I'm going to cook try to cook all these recipes. Chicken and dumplings, yes!! Have a great night, Love you Mama 💓🤗😋👍💖
I have never used any tomatoes in stuffing, so I will give it a try. Thank you for a happy kitchen.😊
Oh my look at that pie!!! It looks so delicious. I may have to make a sugar free version for my hubby. I’m so glad I found your channel today and have already watched several videos. Hooray for crock pots. I love cooking in them in the summer too because I can make comfort food without making the kitchen a fiery inferno. Thanks so much Mel you’re a breath of fresh air in this sometimes stale world
Welcome and thank YOU so much for watching and your kind words, you have made my day!
