I went to my son’s school today to have lunch with him and he tells me that your video should be out by now. So now I’m sitting in the 7th grade cafeteria with 13 boys gathered around my son’s iPad while we watch your video. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤😊
I was so into your video when you said “this roast smells so good, take a whiff”. I literally bent my head down and sniffed my iPad. Good grief..I’m losing it. Lol. Love your cooking style.
When pizza dough doesn't stretch... it needs some time to relax... sounds silly but it works... just cover it with a bowl and walk away for 20 minutes... then come back and it will roll out like a charm...
We love Gracie Lou. Today it was hard seeing her because yesterday we said goodbye to our Fuzz Butt. He was almost 16 years old and loved cheese too. Every time we see Gracie we always think of how much she is like our Fuzzy. Seeing her today hurt but made me smile too because she reminds us so much of our Fuzz. Thank you for sharing her with us. We think she's adorable. Keep giving her the cheese!
6:04 no matter how many times I see the stromboli video I have to smile as I remember struggling with pizza dough for the first time.😊 Also have to giggle when Gracie gets so vocal about the cheese.
I love how expressive your husband is when he bites into the foods. I used to love cooking, more because of the happy reactions of those for whom I cooked (coworkers, mostly), and I do miss that. I cook only for myself now, but I need to get back to making really good food for myself, not the "Meh..who cares?" food I've been doing.
When dough springs back too much knead it for a minute and let it rest, covered, for 20-30 minutes. Repeat if necessary until it is relaxed enough to roll out. .... Your husband's name should be 'Lucky'
OMG I'm dying laughing at you with that pizza dough! I would be right there with you! LOL Thanks for all of the recipes and laughs!!!! I love your family!
I love your easy recipes! I'm a terrible cook, I'm still learning, lol. I have 2 kitchen helpers. One named Daisy Duke, and one named Gink. They like Gracie love cheese!
Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, Mandy. I am fairly new to your channel and, I have to say, it has quickly become one of my very favorites. I love the way you and Steven interact in the kitchen. It's very evident that you have a happy marriage. My husband passed away 25 years ago. You two remind me so much of the way we were.
Roby, you'll love Mandy and her family. Her, Jessica O'Donohue, Falon at Moss family TV, and a few others are my go-to ladies when I need a new recipe.
Watching you cook makes me want to cook again. 😊 I live alone at 78 years and just don’t cook anymore.😢. I love how easy you make it seem and so delicious looking dinners!!❤
One of the many things I love about your channel and the recipes you share is that you can accommodate them to your specialty. Like I can't eat corn, beans, and etc. But you can still make delicious meals. Thank you for all you do, Mandy.
I've recently been told I cannot eat corn beans nuts etc. Will you tell me what you replace beans with? I love me some pinto beans but I can't have them 😞.. which is what I would use to make the chicken chili with.
I was so glad to see that the BBQ bacon cheddar meatloaves were on this list. That was definitely a winner with my husband and I. I just made them the other day. I'll be making chicken lo mein tonight and will put the Mongolian beef on my next meal plan. Merry Christmas to y'all from Greenville, Georgia !🎄❤
😂Mandy, laughing at you & the pizza dough again. 😂 Reminded me of Lucy & Ethel working at the Candy Factory. You are probably too young to have seen it but the reruns are still going around the world. I've watched you for quite a few years but rarely ever comment. I love the bantering between you & Steven. So cute and funny! I'm just a little northeast of the Smokies so you know I have a southern accent!! Around here we say Stove Eye but I totally understand when someone uses Burner. God bless all of you. Keep on living life in a fun and productive way. ❤🙏
An easy way to drain the grease from ground beef is to stir around a white paper towel; I like it because it makes clean-up easy, and it is really efficient. Your family brings great joy to my life; thank you! Your relationship with Steven is just like mine was with my Tom. who died in 2011. It really is a pleasure to watch you two. However, Steven is great with food analysis. Once I had a new recipe, and I watched and watched, and no response, so I said, "Since you are on your third helping, I guess you like it," Twinkling eyes and the comment was: "it's passably okay!: LOL What a teaser he was. God bless your family, and I wish you a happy and holy Christmas! Thank you for all you do.
Variation on the stromboli: crescent roll sheet with breakfast sausage, salami, ham, and cheddar cheese. Brush the tops with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake until golden (usually a bit longer than the crescent sheet directions) and at the temperature specified on the crescent sheet. My whole family loves this!
I found your channel yesterday and I had everything to make the BBQ Bacon Cheddar meatloaf mini loaves - WOW! What a home run and win for my dinner rotation lineup! I am always searching for a good meatloaf recipe (besides my grandmothers which is very tasty) and this is it! Search is over! If you aren’t a fan of meatloaf, this recipe will change your mind! I do believe that using the right kind of bacon is rather important. I used applewood smoked thick sliced bacon 4-1/2 pieces. You deserve a round of applause for this recipe!!! Subscribed ! ♥️♥️ your Gracie kitty - she reminds me of my old girl. She also looks like she has cataracts like my kitty currently. Gracie’s a beautiful furbaby ♥️
I want to try the stromboli, but so far the KFC chicken bowls are a huge hit at my house. Such comfort food during this cold winter in Wyoming. The meal is huge, and lasts for several days. Left overs are even better! Love watching your channel. You have given me so many new recipe ideas.
Mongolian noodles have become one of our favourites. I make mine with ramen noodles. Will be trying the Stromboli this week- my grocery store didn’t have pilsbury biscuits (so I will be making your cheese biscuits) but they had pizza dough, so won’t need to roll it out. Love watching you in the kitchen. Much like me there are whoopsies and flour etc gets everywhere- half the fun of cooking 😂🤓 Always an adventure.
Your channel is so straight up and honest. My son is in the army 💚🇺🇸 and I don’t get to see him often. Next week I will get to spend several days with him. I’m going to make the Stromboli for him. He’s gonna love it! Merry Christmas to your sweet little family 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄🎶🎁🧦🦌❤️💚
Yes, he will love that! Please tell him thank you from our family. We are so thankful to those who serve our country. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@MrsAlmaTrumble Oh Mrs Trumble that’s so sweet. Thank you for your support. It will be so good to see him. My favorite part is when he gets to love on his dog. I will tell him thank you 💚🇺🇸
@@CarinaPiersay you're so very welcome. We appreciate all our military personnel. I understand. My hubby, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law are all Marines. My brother-in-law went to Iraq 7 times. My father-in-law is Army.
You have come such a long way in your videos. Not only are we given simple to follow recipes but love the southern entertainment! Steven makes me laugh out loud!! Better than TV! I also agree with Steven about the cream cheese. Of course, Gracie Lou is the cherry on top! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family and friends.🎄🎊🎁☃️. You also very neat and organized during the cooking process and meal prep.
I just made a Black Russian cake and a large portion of the box of yellow cake mix ended up on me and my floor. 🤪 Such is the way with me. Thanks for your recipe shares, I love trying them and WEARING them at times. 😏 Merry Christmas from Kentucky A.K.A The Arctic 🎄
Omg I'm watching your old videos and this one had me dying 😂. I needed that laugh today...I felt your pain with that pizza dough because I struggled too.❤
I just found your channel and yesterday I think I watched over 6 hours of your videos while doing my chores! I love cooking and finding channels like yours, you cook like I do making a recipe your own. You really gave me alot of ideas and I actually made the Stromboli yesterday for dinner and it was a hit. You and your "common-tater" kept me entertained thru the snowstorm yesterday. Thanks for all the great ideas!
I'm telling you Mandy I can watch this video 100 times and still laugh at your pizza dough struggle. But that Stromboli is probably the most popular thing I've ever seen you make. I definitely have to try it when I have a crowd over. I love watching you and Steven have fun cooking together. Cutest couple ever by far!
Mandy girl!!! I just made the Mongolian Beef Noodles and they are divine! Hubby is on his way home and I know he's going to love them! Your kitty is sooooo sweet. Our 9 month old cat, Mochi, is always in the kitchen if I'm in the kitchen. She doesn't really meow, she squeaks and chirps(for real!) Thank you for this dish, from one SC lady to another ❤️(I'm 150 miles south of you, I think or that's what Google said, in Hartsville, SC)
My husband and I are obsessed with your videos. I’ve started a Pinterest board titled “Mandy in the Making Recipes.” We love your food, your family and that adorable Gracie Lou. My six year old little boy just loves her and her love of cheese. Your channel makes me want to cook more, so thank you!
We tried the stromboli for the first time last night for dinner. It will be a repeat recipe for sure! Found out that the pizza dough rolled out smoother if it was still chilled. Love your videos! My husband (the cook) & I watch them together! Love Miss Gracie Lou too! Our three pups love cheese too!😂
Hi Mandy. We love homemade stromboli. I'm going to try the bacon bbq meatloaf. I think you need to keep a piece of cheese around when Gracie makes her cameos. She is a star and needs a reward!
Love your channel and subscribe to it! Unfortunately my husband and I are dealing with type 2 diabetes and rising cholesterol so we can't enjoy most of your recipes. We do like watching you and your family cook, eat and banter back and forth...it's most enjoyable. Susan
I would be hard pressed to find a favorite among your recipes. They all are so good😋😋😋 In fact I have a board named Mandy in my pinterest Looking forward to many more favorites in 2023🎉🎉
Where's your holiday video you did one last year based on finger foods it was so helpful thank you for giving us wonderful recipes throughout the year we appreciate you have a good holiday
My husband and I just recently found your channel and we really enjoy it. You guys are down to earth and so fun to watch. After every video he puts in his recipe requests. 😂 And It is very rare I want to try all the recipes in one video but I just added every single ones of these to our January menu. Thank you so much!!
Oh I was planning on making the stromboli and had forgot about it. Love the "real" world kitchen mishaps. And definitely going to make the white chicken chili for the church cook off 2023 . If Stephen likes it and the rest of you'all then it's gotta be a contender. Merry Christmas ya'll
Just a tip on the pizza dough that I learned watching someone else's yt video on making pizza dough. I had the same thing happen to me that happened to you when I started making homemade pizza. 🤣 He taught to never use a rolling pin on pizza dough. Always use your fingers and don't use flour on the counter because it dries out the dough. Just put it on the counter and work it with your fingers to the shape you want it. I make my pizzas like the pizza hut iron skillet pizza. It's so scrumptious 😍
I know of an easy way to stretch the dough for Stromboli. Get a sheet pan and grease it with shortening. For some reason only shortening will work. Stretch the dough with your fingers to the desired size. The shortening holds dough so that it stays put and does not shrink back. Just fill and roll your Stromboli on the pan. And then bake it there, too!
I use the Pioneer Woman's cheat when it comes to the dough but follow your recipe for everything else. She uses Rhodes Bake-N-serve bread dough, from the freezer section. Follow package instructions and once the dough is thawed and doubled in size just roll it out. It worked great when I tried it. I don't know how the taste compares to the pizza dough but my family did not complain and we didn't have any left overs.
I just recently found you. Boy I wish I had found you earlier. The recipe's you put out are awesome. I so wish I had a printer. Oh well paper and pen are just as good to write down recipes. Thank you so much.
I used to make Stromboli from scratch all the time when the kids were young, including the pizza crust. And the pizza sauce I put on it, etc. Big family, so I always made 2, and there were never any leftovers! I still miss my giant green Tupperware bowl that I used daily! lol
I CANNOT wait to try each of these recipes!! Pretty sad to be so excited over recipes. I’m really excited about the meatloafs!! Mandy thank you so much for all the recipes & laughs. Y’all are fabulous! God Bless
I remember watching you doing this and laughing and trying to tell you how to roll out dough ! I truly enjoyed this video ! You are so entertaining , just love it.
I'm loving the instapot recipes. I never know how long and don't have recipes for them. I just started watching the channel so I will get a bunch from you.
Mandy I agree, bless your heart. Next time with the dough cut down both sides of the package so that the dough comes out intact like it is in the package. That will make it much easier to roll out how you need it to be. Trust me, I worked for Dominos for 15 years dough is easier to manipulate when it's a nice round patty.
Oh my gosh I just found your channel. You have a new subscriber!!! I loved the recipes, the fun bantering, and most of all your love for the Lord. Many many blessings!!!💕🕊
Made a Mongolian Chicken recipe in the crockpot today. It was really good. Anxious to try this one. Thx for your TH-cam channel. Wish I had done something similar when I was younger. LOL… I guess I’m living vicariously thru you, Mandy. Sorry, Steven, my husband would never have done it with me…lol. God’s blessings to you today and always. You’ve got a fine boy you’re raising there, too!!
Mandy I found Your channel and I just want you to know how much my husband and I love you and your family Y'all are so precious and so much like my husband and my son and I but I have a little suggestion if you don't mind I'd love to share with you anytime you're rolling out stromboli or pizza dough put parchment paper down wait it down on all four corners by a bowl or have someone hold it for you and then sprinkle your flower and then you can just instead of picking up the dough and fighting with it to get it on the pan You just pick up the parchment paper that it's sitting on and set it on the pan and cook it on the parchment paper and see if that will be a lot less of a battle for you to transport it from counter to oven anyway y'all keep up the good work I love you girl I'll watch you everyday God bless you big hugs. Dee 😁🙏
Stretch you pizza dough in your hands and then use the knuckle technique to stretch it some more. Assemble the Stromboli on parchment paper. It will help you to roll the Stromboli. Spray your pan, put the Stromboli on the parchment paper and then onto the baking sheet. Easy peasy.
When you get the dough, put the flour on the work service and pat it into the shape you want. Roll it a few times to flatten it, but it's easiest to pat it into your shape first.
Hey Mandy! Just a little hack I found when cooking meat in the Instapot that needs to be shredded after cooking. Use the meat chopper that you use when cooking Hamburger meat.
I’m making the killer white chicken chili to take to work for Christmas. It looked so amazing. Can’t wait to taste it as I’m sure it will be delicious. It’s supposed to be cold in Florida Christmas Day so I know this will be perfect. Merry Christmas.
This is my first time watching ANY of your videos. This one just happened to pop into my feed. Watched the whole thing, loved it, and will be trying all of these. Signed, New Subscriber
Watching you work with that pizza dough gives me hope lol bc I have a tough time making things that often look easy 🤣🤣🤣. I love your videos Mandy, your family and sweet Gracie💕
Umm I forgot those meatloaf's guess I will start 2023 with it!!!! Gracie wants her Christmas present 🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas. Probably having Korean beef to ..that's what ik it as ....I'll just try all the things cuz now I'm hungry 🤣🤣🤣
I have just found your videos and have subscribed right away. I am so tired of the "same old... same old". This is like spring after a long hard winter. Thanks!!!!
I made some dinner rolls that required you to rollout a rectangle. My rectangle looked more like a map of the USA. Little protrusions everywhere and odd shaped rolls but people ate them anyway. Made the white chicken chili tonight. Absolutely phenomenal. You were wise to make a half batch. My Instant Pot was almost over flowing.
LOL 😂 You made me laugh watching you with the dough LOL Also I’m excited to try the meatloaf based on your son’s remark I really appreciate your son’s opinion, I have 5 grandsons 3 are around Cole’s age and so I appreciate it when he gives me his opinion. Thank you Mandy your sweet and precious to watch! Thank you so much!!
I've made all of these except the stromboli and I've enjoyed all of them - though I'll say the meatloaves are the one I enjoyed the most. I need to make them again!
Just to let you know a trick to rolling out yeast dough. Let it start to rise a little is becomes more easy to roll. When it has risen a little just start shaping it into your size as you roll.
I went to my son’s school today to have lunch with him and he tells me that your video should be out by now. So now I’m sitting in the 7th grade cafeteria with 13 boys gathered around my son’s iPad while we watch your video. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤😊
Ahhhhh!!!! Thank you so much! Please tell him hello for me! Merry Christmas!
Special moments. Precious memories 💙
That’s hilarious! 13 boys going home and telling their Moms to watch Mandy in the Making!!
It’s quite the spectacle. The cafeteria aid and assistant principal joined in also, lol!
What a great story! Love it!
I was so into your video when you said “this roast smells so good, take a whiff”. I literally bent my head down and sniffed my iPad. Good grief..I’m losing it. Lol. Love your cooking style.
When pizza dough doesn't stretch... it needs some time to relax... sounds silly but it works... just cover it with a bowl and walk away for 20 minutes... then come back and it will roll out like a charm...
We love Gracie Lou. Today it was hard seeing her because yesterday we said goodbye to our Fuzz Butt. He was almost 16 years old and loved cheese too. Every time we see Gracie we always think of how much she is like our Fuzzy. Seeing her today hurt but made me smile too because she reminds us so much of our Fuzz. Thank you for sharing her with us. We think she's adorable. Keep giving her the cheese!
Love and hugs. Hard saying goodbye to our precious fur babies.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Fuzz Butt.🌈💔
My condolences. Rip to your fuzz butt 🙏 😞
I'm so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.
When you can smile at their memory, healing is coming soon. So sorry.
Every time I need to laugh I am watching your videos even if I watched them before, you and Steven are so adorable ❤

That Baby girl Gracie… cuteness overload!!! She is gorgeous and so sweet!! Thanks for the Recipes! They look GREAT!!
Always do a 10-12 minute natural release with ALL proteins. It’s equivalent t “resting”. You will see a difference
I loved the Stromboli as well. I didn’t have pizza dough so I just used the Rhodes bread loaf and let it come to room temp and rise. It was delicious.
I could watch you make the Stromboli recipe all day long. It is so funny and you pulled it off.

The number one Winner Dinner. My husband does not like noodles so! I will be making this one with rice. I already know it will be amazing!
Where's your holiday video you did one last year based on finger foods it was so helpful thank you for giving us wonderful recipes throughout the year we appreciate you have a good holiday
My husband and I just recently found your channel and we really enjoy it. You guys are down to earth and so fun to watch. After every video he puts in his recipe requests. 😂 And It is very rare I want to try all the recipes in one video but I just added every single ones of these to our January menu. Thank you so much!!
Oh I was planning on making the stromboli and had forgot about it. Love the "real" world kitchen mishaps. And definitely going to make the white chicken chili for the church cook off 2023 . If Stephen likes it and the rest of you'all then it's gotta be a contender.
Merry Christmas ya'll
Just a tip on the pizza dough that I learned watching someone else's yt video on making pizza dough. I had the same thing happen to me that happened to you when I started making homemade pizza. 🤣
He taught to never use a rolling pin on pizza dough. Always use your fingers and don't use flour on the counter because it dries out the dough. Just put it on the counter and work it with your fingers to the shape you want it. I make my pizzas like the pizza hut iron skillet pizza. It's so scrumptious 😍
All of these are awesome, thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️Merry Christmas
I know of an easy way to stretch the dough for Stromboli. Get a sheet pan and grease it with shortening. For some reason only shortening will work. Stretch the dough with your fingers to the desired size. The shortening holds dough so that it stays put and does not shrink back. Just fill and roll your Stromboli on the pan. And then bake it there, too!
I want to make the killer white chicken chili and the ground beef Mongolian noodles. 😋
I use the Pioneer Woman's cheat when it comes to the dough but follow your recipe for everything else. She uses Rhodes Bake-N-serve bread dough, from the freezer section. Follow package instructions and once the dough is thawed and doubled in size just roll it out. It worked great when I tried it. I don't know how the taste compares to the pizza dough but my family did not complain and we didn't have any left overs.
I just recently found you. Boy I wish I had found you earlier. The recipe's you put out are awesome. I so wish I had a printer. Oh well paper and pen are just as good to write down recipes. Thank you so much.
I used to make Stromboli from scratch all the time when the kids were young, including the pizza crust. And the pizza sauce I put on it, etc. Big family, so I always made 2, and there were never any leftovers! I still miss my giant green Tupperware bowl that I used daily! lol
Merry Christmas Mandy! You have been a true joy to watch. When I need some peace and me time, I watch your cooking.
I CANNOT wait to try each of these recipes!! Pretty sad to be so excited over recipes. I’m really excited about the meatloafs!! Mandy thank you so much for all the recipes & laughs. Y’all are fabulous! God Bless
I remember watching you doing this and laughing and trying to tell you how to roll out dough ! I truly enjoyed this video ! You are so entertaining , just love it.
I'm loving the instapot recipes. I never know how long and don't have recipes for them. I just started watching the channel so I will get a bunch from you.
Mandy I agree, bless your heart. Next time with the dough cut down both sides of the package so that the dough comes out intact like it is in the package. That will make it much easier to roll out how you need it to be. Trust me, I worked for Dominos for 15 years dough is easier to manipulate when it's a nice round patty.
I appreciate you so much! You and Steven make a great pair and make it fun to watch!
Oh my gosh I just found your channel. You have a new subscriber!!! I loved the recipes, the fun bantering, and most of all your love for the Lord. Many many blessings!!!💕🕊
Made both the meatloaf and Mongolian beef. Delicious! Working into rotation!
Mandy, you are such an inspiration and I love your humor!
Made a Mongolian Chicken recipe in the crockpot today. It was really good.
Anxious to try this one. Thx for your TH-cam channel. Wish I had done something similar
when I was younger. LOL… I guess I’m living vicariously thru you, Mandy. Sorry, Steven, my husband would never
have done it with me…lol. God’s blessings to you today and always. You’ve got a fine boy you’re raising there, too!!
Omg’sh, we absolutely loved the bacon, BBQ meatloaves too!! I’m definitely going to try the Mongolian Ground Beef soon.:)) 👍🎄☃️

I found Your channel and I just want you to know how much my husband and I love you and your family Y'all are so precious and so much like my husband and my son and I but I have a little suggestion if you don't mind I'd love to share with you anytime you're rolling out stromboli or pizza dough put parchment paper down wait it down on all four corners by a bowl or have someone hold it for you and then sprinkle your flower and then you can just instead of picking up the dough and fighting with it to get it on the pan You just pick up the parchment paper that it's sitting on and set it on the pan and cook it on the parchment paper and see if that will be a lot less of a battle for you to transport it from counter to oven anyway y'all keep up the good work I love you girl I'll watch you everyday God bless you big hugs. Dee 😁🙏
Stretch you pizza dough in your hands and then use the knuckle technique to stretch it some more. Assemble the Stromboli on parchment paper. It will help you to roll the Stromboli. Spray your pan, put the Stromboli on the parchment paper and then onto the baking sheet. Easy peasy.
When you get the dough, put the flour on the work service and pat it into the shape you want. Roll it a few times to flatten it, but it's easiest to pat it into your shape first.
When we do something like Stromboli, I use Rhodes frozen bread dough. Let it thaw and then use that.
Hey Mandy! Just a little hack I found when cooking meat in the Instapot that needs to be shredded after cooking.
Use the meat chopper that you use when cooking Hamburger meat.
I’m making the killer white chicken chili to take to work for Christmas. It looked so amazing. Can’t wait to taste it as I’m sure it will be delicious. It’s supposed to be cold in Florida Christmas Day so I know this will be perfect. Merry Christmas.
Lord the Stromboli struggle I forgot.🤣🤣 Thank you I needed that laugh. The holiday stress is real y'all. Merry Christmas.
Just made the Mongolian Beef Noodles last night for the first time and it was a hit!
Hi! Easley here, enjoying your cooking videos!
The Mongolian beef noodle dish looks so simple but so yummy, will try it but with different meat
This is my first time watching ANY of your videos. This one just happened to pop into my feed. Watched the whole thing, loved it, and will be trying all of these.
Signed,

Mandy these recipes look so good. I will be checking the community page! By the way I am from SC too.
Hey Mandy if you want to make those Mongolian beef noodles ridiculously fast, make them with asian vermicelli noodles. They are almost instant!!!
Watching you work with that pizza dough gives me hope lol bc I have a tough time making things that often look easy 🤣🤣🤣.
I love your videos Mandy, your family and sweet Gracie💕
LOL, I understand! I have a tough times a lot of times! Have a great day, Tammy!
@@MandyintheMaking you too💕
I can't decide which to try first, the Mongolian beef noodles, white chicken chili, or the stromboli!
Umm I forgot those meatloaf's guess I will start 2023 with it!!!! Gracie wants her Christmas present 🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas. Probably having Korean beef to
..that's what ik it as ....I'll just try all the things cuz now I'm hungry 🤣🤣🤣
Ohmy, that Stromboli looks wonderful, I can almost smell it. Possibly your topping makes it amazing.
I have just found your videos and have subscribed right away. I am so tired of the "same old... same old". This is like spring after a long hard winter. Thanks!!!!
I made some dinner rolls that required you to rollout a rectangle. My rectangle looked more like a map of the USA. Little protrusions everywhere and odd shaped rolls but people ate them anyway.
Made the white chicken chili tonight. Absolutely phenomenal. You were wise to make a half batch. My Instant Pot was almost over flowing.
LOL 😂 You made me laugh watching you with the dough LOL
Also I’m excited to try the meatloaf based on your son’s remark
I really appreciate your son’s opinion, I have 5 grandsons 3 are around Cole’s age and so I appreciate it when he gives me his opinion.
Thank you Mandy your sweet and precious to watch! Thank you so much!!
I've made all of these except the stromboli and I've enjoyed all of them - though I'll say the meatloaves are the one I enjoyed the most. I need to make them again!
Just to let you know a trick to rolling out yeast dough. Let it start to rise a little is becomes more easy to roll. When it has risen a little just start shaping it into your size as you roll.
We found Dukes mayo in New England! I literally can not wait to try!!!
I don’t know how I missed the white chicken chili the first time but I’m excited to try it!
We are having a low country boil for Christmas. Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and a safe, prosperous New Year.
Sausage and potato casserole is definitely a go back meal
