I’m 36, no children and never been married. I’m so ready for a husband. And when I do get me a man I’m using all of your recipes Mr. Chef Jeffrey lol . We’re all worthy of someone that means well and loves us.
That's great way of seeing it. I wish others wasn't so ignorant . Even God have created people to be single to just only service him it wasn't meant for everyone to be married or in a relationship.
I don't celebrate valentines day because I say love should be celebrated everyday! Never give up on love Chef J because you deserve love and you have an abundance of love to give!!! Know your worth and Be blessed!!!🤎🤎🤎
Happy Early Valentine's Day Chef Jeffery!!! I loved your testimony on being single. Continue to be content. I Love how your parents taught you well. Keep them standards and don't let anyone persuade you anything different. I lost out on 26 years of abused marriages. Raised 5 children with the help of the Lord. I never knew God until 36 years ago when my husband deserted us. That's when I turned my life over to God. I've been in Church 36 years now and I have been putting God first, letting Him be my ALL in ALL!!! Never had a desire to be remarried all these years. I'm now 70 years old and content with God being my husband. People laugh at me and can't figure out why I'm not married but I always tell them that I Love the Lord with all my heart and I know he will never leave me nor forsake me. It's not a trust issue with me. It's a content feeling that I have. I love how you feel about God and just trusting in him. It was instilled in you. I never new God untill after 2nd marriage of abuse in both. Thats what drew me to God. I thank God for you taking a stand and also your obiedence of the standards your parents taught you. Church values taught you well. All my children have been pew babies and God gave me strength and wisdom to bring them up in church throughout my single Life. Not by my strength. God's strength. Chef Jeffery God will be everything to you. Your testimony actually brought tears to my eyes. You probably have touched many subscribers. ♥️ Continue to keep putting God first and stir up them gifts in that kitchen!! 🎁🎁
Looks amazing and my favorite cheesecake. Who wouldn't want a man like you a great sense of humor, family oriented, awesome cook, and so much more. You will make some lady extremely happy 1 day. Thanks for your time and recipes Happy Valentines Day love yourself your a gem!
Gorgeous cheesecake! Everybody loves a great cheesecake. Someday a nice lady Heaven sent with similar values will cross your path. Never lower your standards or compromise your values. Happy Valentine's Day from all your fans! 💛💛💛💌
Chef Jeffery, you told the truth! Your challenges with relationships mirrors mine and your growing up mirrors mine. I grew up in a wholesome manner and was not a "wild child". I understand your reasoning for being single and I totally agree with your position. Relationships are hard and can be a lot of work. I am single too and have never been married. Not saying that it is impossible to find that special person to be involved with, but it takes a lot of wisdom to know which one is the "right" one. I am in a position of peace as a single person and intend to keep my peace. Best wishes!
My husband and I got married last year. He was 54 and I was 49. It was the 1st marriage for both of us. He is also from a small Texas town and moved to Houston in his 20’s. What God has for you is for you. Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️. God Bless.
Good morning Chef. That cheese cake looks delicious. Ideal for Valentine's Day. On another note, there is nothing wrong or weird about being single. Wait on God. (Proverbs 21:9). Happy Valentine's Day.
That looks easy to make. I think I'll make one for Easter. Tfs your relationship story. Not having a significant other in your life does not mean you're lonely. God has blessed you with wonderful friends and us!
There’s nothing wrong with waiting on God to bring you the right person. The cheese cake looks amazing I will make it eventually. I made your buttermilk pound cake yesterday it is amazing💜💜💜
I'm with you Chef Jeffrey! I'm 50 single with no children and as a fellow chef I also spread love through my food! Awesome cheesecake Chef! It came out beautifully!
Good morning, Chef Jeffery. Thanks for the cheese cake recipe and tips. Anyone who can cook as well as you do doesn’t have to worry about what people think of your private life. To each his own! Keep the Faith and all will work out according to God’s plan.
Heeeyyyyy there Chef Jeffrey!👋🏽 This is my first time seeing this video, due to me joining the Old School Soul Food family about midyear 2022. My brother is 59 and has never married, nor does he have any kids. People have questioned him for years! Some have been really disrespectful too. Nothing wrong with choosing to stay single or choosing not to have kids. Nothing wrong with choosing yourself first and your own happiness & peace of mind. No one should ever get married due to societal expectations. Do YOU! Like you said, if and/or when God sends you the right person, you'll know. It's all good.👍🏽And that cheesecake looks amazing!👌🏽😋😋😋
Well, Mr. Jeffery, you just made my mouth water! Your cheesecake looks so delicious. You could cook for me any day, any time, but only if you allow me to cook for you. Fair is fair. Some of us are quite content and very happy being single, me included. I don’t believe anyone should go looking for love if they’re not happy and/or content in their own right. And, if you’re walking with the Lord you might as well leave it up to Him to pave the path to your Christian mate and partner in life. I love watching you cook and bake. You put your heart and soul into everything you do, and inspire so many others to do likewise! Thank you for sharing so much with myself and others. Many blessings to you and yours!
Happy Valentine's day chef Jeffery. I was married for 30 years recently divorced. He left me for our past babysitter. Devastated, but our loving God is great. He is my strength
Luscious cheesecake! You are a great man and I hope when the time is right you find the perfect companion for you that appreciates your values and ethics and shares the same with you.
Chef Jeffery your videos show all the love you have inside. Just remember that we love you and what you do. Never give up, there is a special lady out there waiting to return your Blessings to you!! Enjoy your Valentine's Day and continue to spread joy to all.
Good morning Chef Jeffery! I enjoyed some Old School Soul Food pancakes with lots of butter and syrup and bacon yesterday for breakfast!! So...so...so good! Thanks for the inspiration and enjoy your Sunday. ❤❤ 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Chef, life is about being happy, and it doesn't mean that there has to be another person to validate you. You got the revelation! Thanks again for what you do for us!!
Hey Chef! You are an honest, good person! God has blessed you richly with the love of friends and family. Happy Valentine’s Day from your fans who love you!
Your lifestyle is great and I wouldn’t change it for nothing. You will definitely find someone who will love and appreciate you and all of what you have to offer! Also, thank you so much for making my favorite dessert. I will be trying this recipe soon.
Mmmmmm...cheesecake with those beautiful red cherries🍒🍒!perfect for Valentine dessert! Blessings to you chef Jeffrey and everyone here in Jesus name!💜🙏💐
Amen chef to your life story. 🙏 what God has for you is for you. You are a blessed and wonderful person and any woman would be blessed to have you. I rather have boring than chaos any day. I tell myself that too. Thank you for sharing. The cheese cake looks awesome. 👌🏽 I ❤ cheesecake. Love your friendship too. God bless.
That cheesecake is fabulous with height, texture and density... Watching your videos make me want to buy a kitchenaide mixer. You're not alone with that thought about being single. Thank you for sharing!
Hey, if we didn't have standards, who would we be? I totally forgot you chef. Thank you for your transparency. You seem to be a good person, with a good heart. Bless you sir.
Morning Chef. My granddaughter loves my cheesecakes. I have to watch her or she will eat the whole thing!! Chef, you're are not the only one in this position. You just described a lot of men and women in the same position. I've not given up on Love after two marriages that I didn't bring God into. He has me and has sustained me. He is faithful to His Word. Sometimes friends are better. Just enjoy life; Love may come and take you over. Be Blessed.
Thank you for the cheesecake demo! Chef, this world is dark, but you keep being who you are. Your life is not boring. You were raised right. Your life is what God planned it to be. And because you've kept Him first, He's blessed you tremendously. The perfect woman will come along (not perfect as in flawless, but perfect for you). God bless you, sir!
I believe Most people would love to be married if they can find the right person. But I believe that there are some who will not settle; and some who will settle just because afraid of being single. I think the latter are ones who do not know how to find happiness within themselves-depending on someone to make their happiness. I admire how you are making your own happiness- being a giving person. I haven’t made a cheesecake in ages. Will definitely try this recipe. I probably buy crust- never made crust before.
Wow, yes sir that cheesecake is just AWESOME, gosh you're a master in the kitchen! Appreciate you sharing your story of singlehood, many folks don't realize that men get deeply hurt in love same as sincere loving women.... The hurt, lack of trust, & domestic abuse put up with was debilitating. So yep been there done that. Been single now about 25yrs, everyone ask me same why I remain single. Raised by my dad & grandma...thru pure humble prayer God sustains me & my soul. All that's glitter ain't gold baby - be very careful in making choices. HE gave us free will & choices. I learned a lesson where I'll never settle nor go back to putting up with adverse behaviors in the name of love - mistreatment & abuse changes that deep love ya had forever! I'm feelin blessed
Cheesecake looks amazing! You are a wonderful man with a genuine soul. You love your Mama. You are an awesome chef with great talent. Honestly I have questioned that to myself (why is Chef single?). I pray you find Your Lady and that she gives you all the love and respect that a great man like you deserves.
Good morning, Chef Jeff. Another epic recipe! This cheesecake is beautiful and looks so yummy. 😋Yes sir in due time, God will send that special someone in your life. There is nothing wrong with having standards for yourself. Thank you for this video and Happy Valentine's Day to you too.😊
Ain't nobody's business Brother. You are a blessed man, and your parents did a heck of a job. I've said it before; I sure wish I had you for a neighbor!!
Happy Valentine's Day, Chef Jeffrey! The cheesecake looks amazing! Thank you for sharing a part of your soul with us, but mostly for having the sense and courage to WAIT ON THE LORD! If so so many had waited on Him to bring the right person into their lives, I seriously doubt the state of relationships would be where they are in this day and age!
Oh, my friend, that was very generous of you to tell us about your life. People always seem to ask about private things and you had no obligation to share any of that, but it was beautiful to hear. You have lived an excellent, respectable life based on very good priorities and values.
The cheesecake looks absolutely delicious! Cheescake is my favorite dessert!! Can't wait to try it. You are an amazing person with a beautiful spirit. There's nothing wrong with being single, but don't close yourself off from finding that special lady. Now that you're retired, maybe you'll have time to open your heart back up and allow someone great (who's not materialistic) in. You have a lot to offer the right person, and I'm sure she's out there. Express and ask God for your wife. He will honor the request of the faithful and those who love him.
I’ve watched a lot of cheesecake recipe videos in my time, but yours was the most picture perfect. Looking forward to copying your every move sometime soon! I appreciate your insights into love and independence. I agree with others that marriage and partnership aren’t for everyone and loving yourself is extremely important. But you touch on some deep personal observations about struggling to trust partners after being hurt before. You are a successful independent man with many loved ones in his life. God may bring a wonderful woman into your life but you still have to be able to receive her and trust her when that time comes. I’m no psychologist Chef! Just bouncing what you’re saying back at you, gently challenging you to examine the feelings you describe in this video and be aware of where they come from. There are bad people in this world, but the majority are good and can be trusted. Regardless of where life take you I hope you continue to be happy, healthy and fulfilled. Happy Valentine’s Day!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE! The Mrs Here. That cheesecake looks divine. All respect to everyone’s decision…whether that decision is to remain single or commit to marriage. Better to remain single…or to be miserably married!🥰
I love celebrating Valentine's Day! One of my favorite days of the year! What could be more fun than exchanging cards and candy and flowers? Or hanging up hearts all over the place? Thank you for sharing your wonderful cheesecake recipe!
They ask a farmer why he never married. He said, "I'd rather go through life wanting something I didn't have, than having something I didn't want." Will try that cheese cake, it looks delicious. Cherries on top looks good, but since blueberries are in season, i'll give that a try, well maybe have both, why not. One slice cherries and one slice blueberries. Thanks for the recipe!!! And the added pounds... You have been truly blessed to have parents that taught you how to take care of yourself and led by example. After all the best teacher is an example to follow. My mom use to say about drinking, I've never seen anything good come from it." God bless you always.. Keep the faith
Chef Jeffrey, your absolutely right wait on your true Love. I'm 59yrs old, I was married to a man that I thought was the world, and also I found out for our whole 7yrs of marriage , he had someone else on the side...so I have been single ever since.
That is a really beautiful cheesecake. I'm making a Lush today. It's a cheesecake pie with a flour & pecan crust. I love it! I'm doing a blackberry one for the Super Bowl.
All your love goes into COOKING...and it shows 😍😍😍, being able to be content with yourself is something some people envy and wish they were able to do..so SMILE and keep all your viewers and subscribers happy because that's where the love is! Mom can ALWAYS be a valentine as well
Happy Valentines Day Chef Jeffrey. Wow, you made this delicious cheesecake with cherry toppings. You make it look so easy and I am definitely, going to bake it. Your testimony on being single is heartfelt. I 💜 💛 💚 🧡 💜 been down that road, being hur. But God sent me a good, hard working, God fearing husband who loves me and my children. We been together 43 yrs and Married 33 years. Yes, he will send you the right wife especially 😉 for you. Don't give up on God, for he will not give up on you. You are a good man, God fearing, loves people and a cheerful giver. We can't wait when God blesses you and Your Old School, Soul Food Family, will share in your Glorious Day. Stay safe.
I'm with you, chef! There's a difference between not looking for love and actively avoiding it. I too have had problems with picking the wrong person each and every time. And I hate it when people say, "oh you'll find someone someday". But I don't wanna! LOL So long as you're happy with yourself, and have friends and family that love you, you're doing good in life! And don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Valentine's is about more than just romantic love; you can honor all your loved ones that day. So happy you've found a joyful and FULL life without putting yourself through any more drama! :)
Chef Jeffery, Thank You for the perfect cheesecake recipe. When you cut apiece of that cheesecake my mouth was drooling! It is so good to hear from a person that has morals, and you do. I send your Mom much 💗 for the way she brought you up. I’ve told you in another comment that you are truly a blessing to so many of us. I’m so glad I found your channel, your cooking is awesome. I’m probably about the same age as your Mom as my son is your age. He also is single for the many reasons you are. Happy Valentines Day. You have more people Loving You then you can imagine 😀💕
Oh my...Thank you so much chef..My daughter will be so happy with this cheesecake..She loves cheesecake...When I buy them she eats it all..but doesn't gain 1 pound...Happy Valenrine's Day to you too! 💝...No worries chef I'm also single and I love it...No fighting..No arguing..I'd rather stay single than to have tension and stress in my life.🌷..
I agree! One of the main reasons I'm single as well...I'm working towards my journey in healing..self esteem...goals and staying focus on my son and his schooling.. I love my freedom and space! 💚🤗💐
I have not been a TH-cam watcher for very long. I too am a chef and I am always looking for new and innovative ideas. I love that your recipes are so amazingly gorgeous, yet so simple and delicious. I was also impressed on your willingness to share your story publicly about being single. I am so sorry that you were hurt. Hurting people hurt other people. That’s all they know how to do. I was so impressed by the way you made your mother feel when you made her the tea cakes. My mother always said that if a man loves his mother, he is capable of loving you. Don’t ever give up. She’s out there. Sorry I was so long winded. Your story just excited me so. Sincerely, Deborah
I know you prepare and cook these in your sleep but you make it seem so simple and easy. Maybe I can try this one for my hubby and I. May God bless you to find your true love who will appreciate a REAL man with all of your gifts and talents.
Great Day Chef Jeffrey 👋🏽😊 You display love towards your subscribers every time you devote your time and energies to share your amazing Old School Soul Food talents with us. To me Every day was meant to be displayed towards one another with Love, not just in words but in daily actions. We never know what lies ahead because "Time and unforeseen occurrences fall us all."-Ecclesiastes 9:11. Great looking cheesecake 😋 👌🏽 😍 Also, sorry you were wronged. Yes, NOTHING is impossible with God. Just keep praying and wait on God to pick and deliver, according to your hearts desires your Queen.. 🙏🙏🙏
We all love you chef Jeffrey 👩🍳 ❤️ sending big hugs from Georgia & never stop your awesome recipes please 🙏 I've learned sooooo much from you & thank you so much , many blessings always my brother 😊 In Him we lack nothing hallelujah!
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with you choosing to wait on God and IN him for a mate. The one the Lord sends will not add no sorrow to you! She will be a blessing to you and for you. Amen! 🙏🏾 Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
I think you are an amazing man and I had the same standards as you and I waited for God to send me the right man that wanted to have something. Low and behold I found my soulmate and we've been together almost 30 years. Your soulmate will come when God feels it's the right time. Thanks for sharing. Love you!!! Have an amazing day. God bless!!!🥰
Delicious! I understand where you stand as a man of God with relationships! I was married 16 years. Terrible divorce! But God took me thru it all! I am single and God is the one in my life today and always.....
I’m making this cheese cake today. I love when you said when God send me someone. I know it will be special. Take your time and wait. You are an amazing man. God will send you and amazing women. Thanks for all you do. God is well pleased.
😋aww man, I recently donated my springform pan to charity because after decades of owning one, I never used it. Chef J inspires me to want to try to bake a cheesecake.
If I could eat through the screen I would, all your dishes are so so so good. I understand your speech because that is how I’m. If God doesnt put a man in my life is ok because I know he will provide. Have a wonderful day
A true work of art! I loved your very personal story; my respect for you was initially very high, and now, if possible, I respect you all the more! Values and maintaining one's morality are so important. If only more people lived their lives that way, our world would be a much better place! ❤
Good morning Chef! And a Happy Valentine's Day to all!💝 Beautiful and delicious looking cheesecake Chef! I want to say thank you for sharing with us. Your life is far from boring! You are living a purpose driven life everyday and we thank you and appreciate you 🙏
I was going say. It taste so good, he done knocked over the camera! Thank you for sharing your recipes and friendship! By the way, I was 59 years old when I met and married my first husband!
You are a True Gem! Very Rare & Wonderfully made. You have ALL the makings of a Great Husband. God has put people in your life to give you what you need. Blessings to You🌺 I’m going to make this cheesecake for my husband.
Cheese cake looks delicious Chef Jeffrey!!! If more people waited on God to Bless them with a significant other, things wouldn't be so unbalanced. Some people use the words LOVE YOU so loosely now a days, they don't have a clue, what the words truly mean. Also there's nothing wrong with being single. God Bless you Always🙏🏽"Old School Soul Food"
You couldn’t have said it better, when you place God first there’s nothing good He will withhold from you Chef. If evil man knows how to give good gift to his children how much more our Heavenly Father will provide for us. God bless you Chef J 🙌🙌👍👍
I’m 36, no children and never been married. I’m so ready for a husband. And when I do get me a man I’m using all of your recipes Mr. Chef Jeffrey lol . We’re all worthy of someone that means well and loves us.
Amen 🙏🏽 Yessss
Amen 🙏 yess
Me too sister! I bet he won't appreciate the meals and this will lead me to divorce court. Lol
@@Neil-ht8fv he won't find a wife because he isn't looking and he does not have time for foolishness.
I'm 39, single, and no children also. God will bring our Mr. Right in no time!
Beautiful cheesecake. There is nothing wrong with being single. Marriage isn't for everyone. It's about being happy with yourself.
That's great way of seeing it. I wish others wasn't so ignorant . Even God have created people to be single to just only service him it wasn't meant for everyone to be married or in a relationship.
MY MOM BELIEVED THE SAME THING, AND SO DO I.
Biggest facts!!!
Amen! Lisa D!
Exactly. I strongly agree with you.
I don't celebrate valentines day because I say love should be celebrated everyday! Never give up on love Chef J because you deserve love and you have an abundance of love to give!!! Know your worth and Be blessed!!!🤎🤎🤎
Absolutely 🙌🏿 👏🏿🙌🏿
That. Is. So. True
Amen chef Jeff you deserve all the true love that you give
Don’t give up it’s someone for everyone. When you least expect it you feel those butterflies again. Happy Valentine!
You bring a lot of happiness to all of us who watch you!! You are wonderful and we appreciate all the cooking knowledge you share with us!!

I admire how you are making your own happiness- being a giving person.
I haven’t made a cheesecake in ages. Will definitely try this recipe. I probably buy crust- never made crust before.
That’s so beautiful of you. God is always your first love. I really understand. I’m the same way.
I hear you Chef Jeff..When love comes..it will come and we will know it. BUT I am in love with Cheesecake for sure!!😍😍
Wow, yes sir that cheesecake is just AWESOME, gosh you're a master in the kitchen!
Appreciate you sharing your story of singlehood, many folks don't realize that men get deeply hurt in love same as sincere loving women....
The hurt, lack of trust, & domestic abuse put up with was debilitating. So yep been there done that.
Been single now about 25yrs, everyone ask me same why I remain single.
Raised by my dad & grandma...thru pure humble prayer God sustains me & my soul.
All that's glitter ain't gold baby - be very careful in making choices. HE gave us free will & choices. I learned a lesson where I'll never settle nor go back to putting up with adverse behaviors in the name of love - mistreatment & abuse changes that deep love ya had forever!
I'm feelin blessed
Cheesecake looks amazing! You are a wonderful man with a genuine soul. You love your Mama. You are an awesome chef with great talent. Honestly I have questioned that to myself (why is Chef single?). I pray you find Your Lady and that she gives you all the love and respect that a great man like you deserves.
Good morning, Chef Jeff. Another epic recipe! This cheesecake is beautiful and looks so yummy. 😋Yes sir in due time, God will send that special someone in your life. There is nothing wrong with having standards for yourself. Thank you for this video and Happy Valentine's Day to you too.😊
Gorgeous cheesecake and with my favorite cheesecake topping! There is nothing wrong with being single.
Ain't nobody's business Brother. You are a blessed man, and your parents did a heck of a job. I've said it before; I sure wish I had you for a neighbor!!
Happy Valentine's Day, Chef Jeffrey! The cheesecake looks amazing! Thank you for sharing a part of your soul with us, but mostly for having the sense and courage to WAIT ON THE LORD! If so so many had waited on Him to bring the right person into their lives, I seriously doubt the state of relationships would be where they are in this day and age!
You are a good young man because of how your family values you were raised! God put your mission of good will and faith! God bless you!
Oh, my friend, that was very generous of you to tell us about your life. People always seem to ask about private things and you had no obligation to share any of that, but it was beautiful to hear. You have lived an excellent, respectable life based on very good priorities and values.
Thanks for sharing Chef Jeff!
The cheesecake looks absolutely delicious! Cheescake is my favorite dessert!! Can't wait to try it. You are an amazing person with a beautiful spirit. There's nothing wrong with being single, but don't close yourself off from finding that special lady. Now that you're retired, maybe you'll have time to open your heart back up and allow someone great (who's not materialistic) in. You have a lot to offer the right person, and I'm sure she's out there. Express and ask God for your wife. He will honor the request of the faithful and those who love him.
You are such a kind, Godly man, you deserve a wonderful woman to compliment you. I enjoy you so much!
I’ve watched a lot of cheesecake recipe videos in my time, but yours was the most picture perfect. Looking forward to copying your every move sometime soon! I appreciate your insights into love and independence. I agree with others that marriage and partnership aren’t for everyone and loving yourself is extremely important. But you touch on some deep personal observations about struggling to trust partners after being hurt before. You are a successful independent man with many loved ones in his life. God may bring a wonderful woman into your life but you still have to be able to receive her and trust her when that time comes. I’m no psychologist Chef! Just bouncing what you’re saying back at you, gently challenging you to examine the feelings you describe in this video and be aware of where they come from. There are bad people in this world, but the majority are good and can be trusted. Regardless of where life take you I hope you continue to be happy, healthy and fulfilled. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Awesome thanks for the kind words
I’m sooooooo grateful for you, Chef!
Keep working, chef! You're a 💎! Thanks for the great recipes.
Looks delicious Chef Jeffrey!! Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Oh wow, delicious!!! You are too special to give up on love…Happy valentines
That is a beautiful cake! I am the same way. Wait on the Lord! Because unless he Blesses a relationship it will fail!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!
The Mrs Here. That cheesecake looks divine. All respect to everyone’s decision…whether that decision is to remain single or commit to marriage.
Better to remain single…or to be miserably married!🥰
I love celebrating Valentine's Day! One of my favorite days of the year! What could be more fun than exchanging cards and candy and flowers? Or hanging up hearts all over the place? Thank you for sharing your wonderful cheesecake recipe!
They ask a farmer why he never married. He said, "I'd rather go through life wanting something I didn't have, than having something I didn't want."
Will try that cheese cake, it looks delicious. Cherries on top looks good, but since blueberries are in season, i'll give that a try, well maybe have both, why not. One slice cherries and one slice blueberries.
Thanks for the recipe!!! And the added pounds...
You have been truly blessed to have parents that taught you how to take care of yourself and led by example. After all the best teacher is an example to follow. My mom use to say about drinking, I've never seen anything good come from it."
God bless you always.. Keep the faith
Aww Mr Jeff Chef I understand. I gave it another chance. I pray you will find love your a loving person. I have learned alot from you.
Chef Jeffrey, your absolutely right wait on your true Love. I'm 59yrs old, I was married to a man that I thought was the world, and also I found out for our whole 7yrs of marriage , he had someone else on the side...so I have been single ever since.
That is a really beautiful cheesecake. I'm making a Lush today. It's a cheesecake pie with a flour & pecan crust. I love it! I'm doing a blackberry one for the Super Bowl.
That crust sounds so good! Do you mind sharing how you make a crust like that?
Your transparency is much appreciated Chef.🤗
Thank you! And keep on putting all your good loving in your meals.
Blessings!🤩
All your love goes into COOKING...and it shows 😍😍😍, being able to be content with yourself is something some people envy and wish they were able to do..so SMILE and keep all your viewers and subscribers happy because that's where the love is! Mom can ALWAYS be a valentine as well
Happy Valentines Day Chef Jeffrey. Wow, you made this delicious cheesecake with cherry toppings. You make it look so easy and I am definitely, going to bake it. Your testimony on being single is heartfelt. I 💜 💛 💚 🧡 💜 been down that road, being hur. But God sent me a good, hard working, God fearing husband who loves me and my children. We been together 43 yrs and Married 33 years. Yes, he will send you the right wife especially 😉 for you. Don't give up on God, for he will not give up on you. You are a good man, God fearing, loves people and a cheerful giver. We can't wait when God blesses you and Your Old School, Soul Food Family, will share in your Glorious Day. Stay safe.
Very Good encouragement gladys
I'm with you, chef! There's a difference between not looking for love and actively avoiding it. I too have had problems with picking the wrong person each and every time. And I hate it when people say, "oh you'll find someone someday". But I don't wanna! LOL So long as you're happy with yourself, and have friends and family that love you, you're doing good in life! And don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Valentine's is about more than just romantic love; you can honor all your loved ones that day. So happy you've found a joyful and FULL life without putting yourself through any more drama! :)
Chef Jeffery, Thank You for the perfect cheesecake recipe. When you cut apiece of that cheesecake my mouth was drooling! It is so good to hear from a person that has morals, and you do. I send your Mom much 💗 for the way she brought you up. I’ve told you in another comment that you are truly a blessing to so many of us. I’m so glad I found your channel, your cooking is awesome. I’m probably about the same age as your Mom as my son is your age. He also is single for the many reasons you are. Happy Valentines Day. You have more people Loving You then you can imagine 😀💕
Thanks 🙏🏾
Exactly! Morals are missing in today’s society. People jumping from one relationship to another… treating love as if it is a game.
Oh my...Thank you so much chef..My daughter will be so happy with this cheesecake..She loves cheesecake...When I buy them she eats it all..but doesn't gain 1 pound...Happy Valenrine's Day to you too! 💝...No worries chef I'm also single and I love it...No fighting..No arguing..I'd rather stay single than to have tension and stress in my life.🌷..
Thanks for the kind words
@@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD 👍...I made the oxtail stew for the 1st time...It was amazing.
I agree! One of the main reasons I'm single as well...I'm working towards my journey in healing..self esteem...goals and staying focus on my son and his schooling.. I love my freedom and space! 💚🤗💐
Awesome 👏
@@aprilsunshine7565 I've been raising my daughter on my own n don't need anyone to get in the way.
Well stated. I’m the same way. Too boring for most and I’m loving my life!!!
Looks amazing love a good piece of cheesecake!!well done chef
I have not been a TH-cam watcher for very long. I too am a chef and I am always looking for new and innovative ideas. I love that your recipes are so amazingly gorgeous, yet so simple and delicious. I was also impressed on your willingness to share your story publicly about being single. I am so sorry that you were hurt. Hurting people hurt other people. That’s all they know how to do. I was so impressed by the way you made your mother feel when you made her the tea cakes. My mother always said that if a man loves his mother, he is capable of loving you. Don’t ever give up. She’s out there. Sorry I was so long winded. Your story just excited me so. Sincerely, Deborah
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate that
You're doing the right thing for yourself. Awesome cheesecake recipe!
Chef Jeffrey, your cheesecake looks delicious. I love your recipes and can’t wait to make this one. Happy Valentines Day!
I know you prepare and cook these in your sleep but you make it seem so simple and easy. Maybe I can try this one for my hubby and I. May God bless you to find your true love who will appreciate a REAL man with all of your gifts and talents.
Good Saturday morning Chef Jeffery. Don’t give up. There’s some one out there for ya. Looks delicious. Happy Valentines Day.

Bless You! Nothing wrong with waiting for the one for you. I'm very old school too. Although I've been married before. I love being single for now.
I think you are an amazing man and I had the same standards as you and I waited for God to send me the right man that wanted to have something. Low and behold I found my soulmate and we've been together almost 30 years. Your soulmate will come when God feels it's the right time. Thanks for sharing. Love you!!! Have an amazing day. God bless!!!🥰
I like the crust on the sides of my cheesecake too. Looks flavorful. Very creamy.
Happy Valentine’s Day Chef Jeffery that cheesecake looks delicious 😋
Oh my goodness that cheesecake is perfection. I have yet to make one but you make it look easy so I'll give it a try. Thank you Chef!
Delicious!
I understand where you stand as a man of God with relationships!
I was married 16 years.
Terrible divorce! But God took me thru it all!
I am single and God is the one in my life today and always.....
I’m making this cheese cake today. I love when you said when God send me someone. I know it will be special. Take your time and wait. You are an amazing man. God will send you and amazing women. Thanks for all you do. God is well pleased.
Love is the best ingredient
when you're cooking anything! Yours is obviously
full of love💖
😋aww man, I recently donated my springform pan to charity because after decades of owning one, I never used it. Chef J inspires me to want to try to bake a cheesecake.
Old school is the best school!!
Amazing cheese cake ..your great chef Jeffrey... I agree wait
If I could eat through the screen I would, all your dishes are so so so good. I understand your speech because that is how I’m. If God doesnt put a man in my life is ok because I know he will provide. Have a wonderful day
A true work of art! I loved your very personal story; my respect for you was initially very high, and now, if possible, I respect you all the more! Values and maintaining one's morality are so important. If only more people lived their lives that way, our world would be a much better place! ❤
What a lovely story Chief , you keep doing what the Good Lord called you to”do”…Amen🙌🏽🥰
Happy 😃 Sunday Chef Jeffrey .
May God bless you with a lady that has the same character and qualities you have. You deserve the best ! Congrats on your success! 🌞
Good morning Chef! And a Happy Valentine's Day to all!💝
Beautiful and delicious looking cheesecake Chef!
I want to say thank you for sharing with us. Your life is far from boring! You are living a purpose driven life everyday and we thank you and appreciate you 🙏
I was going say. It taste so good, he done knocked over the camera! Thank you for sharing your recipes and friendship! By the way, I was 59 years old when I met and married my first husband!
Awwwww
You are a True Gem! Very Rare & Wonderfully made. You have ALL the makings of a Great Husband. God has put people in your life to give you what you need. Blessings to You🌺
I’m going to make this cheesecake for my husband.
Cheese cake looks delicious Chef Jeffrey!!! If more people waited on God to Bless them with a significant other, things wouldn't be so unbalanced. Some people use the words LOVE YOU so loosely now a days, they don't have a clue, what the words truly mean. Also there's nothing wrong with being single. God Bless you Always🙏🏽"Old School Soul Food"
You couldn’t have said it better, when you place God first there’s nothing good He will withhold from you Chef. If evil man knows how to give good gift to his children how much more our Heavenly Father will provide for us. God bless you Chef J 🙌🙌👍👍
