Hey friends, I'm spending time with my family tonight at a cook out. Thanks so much for watching and I will see you guys in the comments tomorrow. HAPPY JULY 4TH 🇺🇲
It makes me feel better when I know prayers are being lifted in my name. Some people are casual about “ oh I will pray for you”… but I am serious about prayer and when someone offers to pray with you or for you, that to me is like “ pulling out the heavy artillery!!❤
Never even heard of a bean cake, but that sound absolutely delicious! Especially on the white bread with mayo! Now I want a good ole downhome meal! I just love your heart! You inspire me and others so much!
Ah thank you, I am just returning all the love and kindness I receive from everyone here. 😊 And we all definitely need one another's prayers and friendship 🙏 Thanks for watching and supporting every video, it means so much to me 🥰
I was having a really rough day, but I found your video and your voice is so inviting and comforting. It made me feel so much better. And Happy Birthday to Granny!
Oh how precious you've made me feel 😊, first of all so sorry for your rough day 😢 and secondly I'm so glad that I got to be a part of turning it around 🥰 I always strive for my videos to be fun, light, and just like we are old friends catching up over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. 💖 Thank you for encouraging me to keep on sharing my home and heart, have a wonderful week and tomorrow will bring a new day 😊
Never seen bean cakes done even when I lived in the South. You taught this CA gal a new thing. No matter what you are going thru God walks with us losing my husband last Oct. was not easy but I know he is with the Father having a grand time after serving his Lord for many years.
Thanks to all you great friends, this is a wonderful and positive place for us all! Thank you for all your love and support and let me know if you try the bean cakes
Lol. That bean sandwich brought back really good memories. Our step Dad was feeding 7 children and only two of those children was his. You wouldn't have known that. I thank God for him being in our lives. My Mom became a "house wife" of sorts. She'd work just as hard at home. Mending, sewing, planting, preserving, ironing, cooking and cleaning. He was a "Deputy sheriff and volunteered fireman" He hunted, fished and was a "shade tree mechanic" You know, I'm seriously trying to recall a time we didn't have what we needed. I really can't recall a time.. Now having what you wanted, wasn't even a thought to him. Except, this one time. I saw this dress in a store window. It was on sale and so beautiful. I wouldn't stare at it in front of anyone. At least I didn't know I was. Then 3 days later on my 15th birthday, I had a box, sitting outside of our bedroom door I knew it was a sweater. I saw my Mom knitting it. I opened it anyway. There indeed was that beautiful sweater. But also that dresse. I was so happy, but then I thought.....🤔. I took that dress back for store credit and got my Mom two silk scarfs with matching hankies. I sat that box outside their bedroom door. Within minutes Dad was knocking on the door to see where we got the money for the items. I told him I returned the dress and got those gift for her, from all of us. . I watched tears in his eyes roll down his face as he walked away. No, he didn't go back to get the dress. He let me have and keep that memory. My Mom would wear those scarfs every chance she got. We would have bean patties, bean soup and bean hash. Yes, bean hash. It was made with pinto, or northern beans, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, corn and spices. My Mom served it over rice. I still make it till this day. Our children will ask me to make it for them on occasion. I'm sure they can remember how. But, as my Uncle used to say. " Very few things tastes as good as a memory" 😊 Happy New Years to you and yours.☺
Hello Mama Mel, Glad that you are feeling better. Thanks for the prayers. My Birthday was Saturday, I am so thankful to God for everything & letting me see 68 years. You've taught me something new ,the bean cakes, I hope to try them soon. We are empty nesters, our kids are grown & married & out on their own & they all are doing so well , so I am always looking for quick & easy meals. I will be praying for everyone & you & your family. Ya'll be blessed and have a good week. Lord's willing see you Wednesday, love from Lula Mae & Family. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Oh thank you so much, and I just seeing and finding new things on TH-cam too and I love making over my leftovers! Thanks so much for your support here and I hope you have a blessed week
Oh that is a great idea for leftover beans !!!!!!! Love this idea !!!!!! I do potato cakes with mashed potatoes and salmon patties. I just never thought to try it with beans !
❤️ this community means so much to me. I don't believe it's an accident that God has allowed me to be here sharing some hopefully helpful ideas and encouragement. I pray that this channel is always pleasing and glorifying to Him and that many people will find His joy, peace and salvation thru it. Thank you for watching and supporting, I hope you have a blessed week friend 😊
Loved this video! First Happy Birthday to your mom🌷🌷🌷 can't wait to make that cake, love cherries. Like that you show your groceries and the prices. I always cook my chicken in the oven because I could never get the fried chicken to turn out right. God Bless You and family. Have a great week.
Thank you so much I will pass along the birthday wishes 😊 I'm so glad you enjoy seeing the prices on the groceries, I don't always get that done but I really try to. 😉 And I am on the chicken frying struggle bus with you too 🤣😭
You make me smile too!❤️😊 And I agree 💯 we all need one another's prayers. I am humbled and honored that this community would ask me to pray for them, and I know you guys remember me when I ask for prayers too. There is no greater comfort for our hurting and sick friends than to know that other believers are lifting them up 🙏👍 Thank you so much for being a special part of our channel. ❤️
Hi mel I went to a free food pantry yesterday they gave me fresh veggies carrots cucumbers squash bell peppers I prepped them and put them in the frig what a blessing even got salad.have a happy fourth mel.bless all of you out there that are going thru difficult times God is watching over all of you.hugs to all.
Let me give you another helpful hint, Use only olive oil on your Iron skillets. I got that from Cowboy Kent Rollins. Also he said it doesn't hurt to scrub your skillets with soap. then put it on the stove eye until good and dry, then squirt one turn of the olive oil wipe out with a soft cloth . do not use a paper towel. I hope this will also help . I love your show.
Honey, I did film a little cleaning of mine. I will try to get it up soon maybe on the end of a quick grocery haul. Thanks so much for watching and let me know if you love the bean cakes too! Have a great week
I could listen all day to you, Miss Mel! I had a friend listen in today and her comment was how relaxing it was just to listen to you speaking. Cant wait to have leftover beans, and will make bean cakes with them.❤
Oh how sweet you are ❤️ Thank YOU so much for watching and I'm so glad to hear that my videos are a relaxing and bright spot in your day. There's enough noise in the world, when I make my videos I want them to be relaxing, stress and drama free, and just kinda a little escape for us all 🥰
I've never heard of the bean cakes but I am so intrigued to try them. When I cook beans I usually don't have enough for another meal but just a little bit. I'm going to try these.
Your cake was beautiful! I'm having some health issues too and I'll be having a surgery soon. I thought that was so encouraging that you mentioned prayers for your family of subs. I will definitely be remembering all in prayer. I just love your videos. 💕
Oh friend, I am adding you to my list. I am so sorry for your troubles praying for your healing and comfort. I love you and all the wonderful friends we have here, we are all so lucky to have each other praying for one another. Have a great week!
I’ve never heard of bean cakes, which surprises me, being from the south. When I saw the video title and thumbnail, I was sure you were making meatloaf sandwiches! I love that even better than first day meatloaf. We eat beans often, and I can’t wait to try bean cakes and the cool dessert! You are a sweet godly woman. Thanks for sharing 😊🙏
Well maybe only southern hillbillies eat them 🤣 I love a meatloaf sandwich too 😋 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, your support means a lot to me. I appreciate this community we have and am humbled that our friends ask for prayers here, it is a privilege and honor to share my faith here. Love your sweet spirit so much, you have encouraged me today ❤️
7EST BEAN CAKES I am happy to be included in your community and I am happy to pray for all in the community. I enjoy you so much in your sincerity and genuine kindness. If I lived in your location I would like to be your friend! Guess I am an internet friend now 🙂
I have a super easy dessert that you can customize so many ways. To change it up just substitute a few ingredients. It requires no baking so you can throw it together really fast. Quick and Easy Cookie Dessert CRUST 1 package of cookies. FILLING 1 large instant pudding mix fixed according to the package directions TOPPING 8 oz thawed whipped topping 8 oz package of softened cream cheese 14 oz can of condensed milk In a 9x13 pan just lay out a layer of cookies. Break to fit if you need to. In a bowl mix the pudding up according to the package directions. Pour over cookies and spread to cover them completely. In large bowl using a mixer combine the cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over the top. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving. VARIATIONS CHOCOLATE - chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pudding BANANA - sugar cookies, banana pudding and add a layer of sliced bananas between the pudding and topping BUTTERSCOTCH - oatmeal or sugar cookies Butterscotch Pudding CHERRY sugar cookies, vanilla pudding and add a can of cherry pie filling on top the pudding layer LEMON sugar cookies and lemon pudding I HAVE FOUND THE CHEAPER STORE BRAND COOKIES THAT YOU CAN BUY WORK GREAT AS THE CRUST. NO REASON TO SPEND EXTRA FOR A FANCY COOKIE. Feel free to make up your own variation. Just switch out cookies, pudding and add in a fruit layer if desired. I often since this dessert is so easy will make 2 different flavors so everyone can have their favorite.
Thanks for the tips on cleaning cast iron, and very important, oiling it afterwards! I've found cleaning a stuck on stainless steel frying pan works better hot too. I wash out as much stuck on stuff as I can, then put the pan on a hot burner, add a little water and scouring powder, scrub with a plastic scrubber and all the stuck on food comes right off. Rinse & wash the pan as usual and it's all clean. Love watching your videos! Lots of great ideas.
👍yes to the instant read thermometer! I have one and got started using it alot recently. Also, I make bean cakes but instead of flour, I use bread crumbs. I've tried all kinds of beans, black, pinto, and red. You're right, they are all good.
I'll have to try them bean cakes. I've made potato cakes , yellow squash cakes. So why not bean cakes. I just love these simple dishes. As always I enjoy your videos so much! 🌻
You and your videos are the HAPPY in every week. I am praying for our sweet friends on here. I thank our LORD for the blessing you are to so many of us. God bless you and your week ahead. 💖🙏
Happy 4th of July Mel! That heaven on earth cake looked amazing! I definitely would love to make it next get together. Expect not big cherry person I'd do probably strawberries and blueberries filling. Also your two Mexican dishes were delicious love Mexican anytime. Have a good 4th weekend! Take care.
Hi, Mel. Happy Birthday to your mother (Granny). Her cake looked delicious and I'm sure she'll enjoy it. I hope you're all having a wonderful fourth today.
Oh my goodness gracious goodness gracious goodness gracious good God let's eat, you nailed it momma Mel when you said heaven on earth, thank you so much for sharing this ❤ 😊 ☺ 💖 💕 happy 4th and enjoy your family and God bless you always and forever 🙏 😊 ❤ 💖 ☺ 😘 🙏 happy birthday to your mom and God bless her 😊 ❤ 💖 (good job Mattie ) 👏 👍 👌

Fajitas looked awesome. Raised a West Virginia hillbilly bean cakes were a regular on our table. My mom would make white bean cakes, fried eggs and sliced tomatoes and I was happy as a tick on a coon hound. Prayers for you and this family of subscribers.
Oh Mel…I’ve been so busy around here, I’ve not had time to comment. Our great-grand baby is in between daycares and hubby and I are helping out. After dinner-we practically go right to bed. 😆. You recipes are always a hit and we love all the left overs. God bless you. ❤️
OH bless your heart, it's so great that you guys can help out. It is no fun to try and find childcare that you feel comfortable with but I know littles wear me out too LOL Love them but boy they keep you on your toes! Have a great time and enjoy every little moment and memory you are making. Thanks so much for watching and have a great week!
Mel I made a crock pot of pinto beans and some corn bread for supper tonight. It was delicious! Tomorrow I will be trying your bean cakes. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
Hi Mel! Everything looked amazing! Do you have a suggestion of a replacement if you don't like black beans. I know I could substitute anything but wonder what would be best. Thanks and prayers to everyone out there. Jenn

Let me give you another helpful hint, Use only olive oil on your Iron skillets. I got that from Cowboy Kent Rollins. Also he said it doesn't hurt to scrub your skillets with soap. then put it on the stove eye until good and dry, then squirt one turn of the olive oil wipe out with a soft cloth . do not use a paper towel. I hope this will also help . I love your show.
I’ve never heard of bean cakes. So neat.

Yes we are internet friends for sure! Thank you so much for being here with us!
We love bean cakes especially fried in bacon grease❤🥓
I have a super easy dessert that you can customize so many ways. To change it up just substitute a few ingredients. It requires no baking so you can throw it together really fast.
Quick and Easy Cookie Dessert
CRUST
1 package of cookies.
FILLING
1 large instant pudding mix fixed according to the package directions
TOPPING
8 oz thawed whipped topping
8 oz package of softened cream cheese
14 oz can of condensed milk
In a 9x13 pan just lay out a layer of cookies. Break to fit if you need to. In a bowl mix the pudding up according to the package directions. Pour over cookies and spread to cover them completely. In large bowl using a mixer combine the cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over the top. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
VARIATIONS
CHOCOLATE - chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pudding
BANANA - sugar cookies, banana pudding and add a layer of sliced bananas between the pudding and topping
BUTTERSCOTCH - oatmeal or sugar cookies
Butterscotch Pudding
CHERRY sugar cookies, vanilla pudding and add a can of cherry pie filling on top the pudding layer
LEMON sugar cookies and lemon pudding
I HAVE FOUND THE CHEAPER STORE BRAND COOKIES THAT YOU CAN BUY WORK GREAT AS THE CRUST. NO REASON TO SPEND EXTRA FOR A FANCY COOKIE. Feel free to make up your own variation. Just switch out cookies, pudding and add in a fruit layer if desired. I often since this dessert is so easy will make 2 different flavors so everyone can have their favorite.
YUM! this sounds delicious and right up my alley, thanks for sharing
Prayers for each subscriber! 🙏🏻

You're so welcome, and the heat really does help. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great day!
👍yes to the instant read thermometer! I have one and got started using it alot recently. Also, I make bean cakes but instead of flour, I use bread crumbs. I've tried all kinds of beans, black, pinto, and red. You're right, they are all good.
I have wondered how corn meal would taste too 🤔
Yum
I'll have to try them bean cakes. I've made potato cakes , yellow squash cakes. So why not bean cakes. I just love these simple dishes. As always I enjoy your videos so much! 🌻
Thanks so much, and I love all the cakes too LOL

Happy 4th of July Mel! That heaven on earth cake looked amazing! I definitely would love to make it next get together.

Great video Mel.🥰🇬🇧🍒
Thanks so much 😊
Fajitas looked awesome. Raised a West Virginia hillbilly bean cakes were a regular on our table.
My mom would make white bean cakes, fried eggs and sliced tomatoes and I was happy as a tick on a coon hound.
Prayers for you and this family of subscribers.
oh yes, white beans are the best for bean cakes in my opinion too! But I've never turned down a bean of any kind LOL
I really have been enjoying your channel since I subscribed a month or so ago! Keep up the great work! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Happy 4th of July!!
Thank you so much for watching and this kind encouragement ❤️ It really keeps motivated, hope you have a great 4th too 😀
cool
I am going to try the bean cakes,never heard of it.
Oh Mel…I’ve been so busy around here, I’ve not had time to comment. Our great-grand baby is in between daycares and hubby and I are helping out. After dinner-we practically go right to bed. 😆. You recipes are always a hit and we love all the left overs. God bless you. ❤️
OH bless your heart, it's so great that you guys can help out. It is no fun to try and find childcare that you feel comfortable with but I know littles wear me out too LOL Love them but boy they keep you on your toes! Have a great time and enjoy every little moment and memory you are making. Thanks so much for watching and have a great week!
Our kroger here in OH just started carrying Dukes mayo and I tried and it’s my new favorite.
You have a great July 4
Everything looks delicious! I love Mexican food! ☺
And, the cake looks yummy!
Thank you 😋
I love bean cakes. My dad always made them growing up and now so do I. Love all your videos.
🥰 thank you for watching and such a sweetie memory
Mel I made a crock pot of pinto beans and some corn bread for supper tonight. It was delicious! Tomorrow I will be trying your bean cakes. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
Oh yeah, me too! Be sure and let me know 😊
Hi Mel! Everything looked amazing! Do you have a suggestion of a replacement if you don't like black beans. I know I could substitute anything but wonder what would be best. Thanks and prayers to everyone out there. Jenn
