I could be wrong, but I’m thinking, with the zucchini, squash and green tomatoes, you might keep them coated by just cooking a few at a time and to almost deep fry them. 😊Just a thought sweetieHave fallen in love with your channel within just the past few weeks. Love absolutely everything you cook and love just hearing you talk. You sound so very sweet and so kind. ❤I’ve been widowed 5 years, March 4 of this year. My faith, our 4 kids and finding ladies like you on TH-cam, has brought me a lot of comfort during these past 5’years. I heard you say you’re from the Knoxville area and for the past year, I’ve been searching for homes to possibly move myself along with my two youngest girls to the Eastern TN area. My husband and I had talked often about eventually moving somewhere around there or northern GA. We just liked the area and some of his family lives in GA. My 24 year old son is actually in Gwinnett, GA doing an internship thru North Point, this past year. But I’ve been thinking that a move, a fresh start, would be what my girls and I needed. So sorry for the long comment lol. Just wanted to share some about me and to let you know how ladies like you have not only added to my recipe box but you’ve helped a stranger here in Indiana who has had some of the hardest days, likely along with others who have harder situations than mine…And I’m certain I’m not the only whose day was made brighter by wonderful people like you. You’re a lovely lady Ms Mel😊❤️🙏
All of these look so good ! Can I give you a suggestion? Instead of using the egg in the squash just put a couple table spoons of buttermilk not soupy just to coat. Shake bowl then add your flour.
Somehow I missed this when you first posted it, and I’m very happy to have found it now! I have been feeling kind of blah and this video was just what I needed to get my rear in gear and get back out to the kitchen. Thank you so much for being the inspiration I needed! Hope you and your family are doing well and sending you love from Vermont.❤
You have inspired to try again cube steak in the crockpot. I have made it several times in the crockpot but each time it fell apart in pieces like crumbled meat. I have never cooked pintos in the crockpot but I am going to try that cooking method. I am cooking all meals this week in the crockpot or skillet meals as temperature is 99 today & rest of week is forecast to be hotter. Thanks so much.
Sweet friend, I loved this video! Reminded me of cooking with my mom. Nothing better than beans, fried potatoes and corn bread. This time of year, sliced cucumbers and home grown tomatoes could be a side everyday. I was also going to say, when we had cream corn, my mom always used a cab of creamed corn mixed with a drained can of whole kernel because we liked the extra 'pop' Have a great week!
Good ole southern cooking!! I haven’t done cube steak & gravy in a while. It’s hard to get the texture right .. I either cook it til it falls apart to mush or I don’t cook it enough. Crock pot is the easiest way to cook it. I love it battered and fried with gravy too 🫢
Hey Mel,my husband & I like pinto beans with cornbread,fried potatoes & onions and i like buttermilk,sometimes greens,hubby dislikes greens & buttermilk,my Mom made the best food ever,that's how i learned to cook
Good Morning!❤ I was subscribed to your Channel and had been loving it, but had forgotten to click the bell for notifications. I love all of your recipes so much! I admire how you are so dedicated to making such versatile and a variety of meals. ❤ God has really blessed you in this area. If I feel anxiety or stress (and sometimes cooking will do that to me, ) I just play one of your videos and it's like reading a wonderful chapter of the Bible! it makes me feel happy and soothed. If your channel can help a fifty-year-old mother and wife get more encouraged to make delicious dinners, think what it could do for a young bride or single college student😊 I have already shared one of your recipes with our daughter who is 21! Have an awesome day, Mel, from Southwest MO to you😊❤🫐🍓🍒🍌🥕🥦🥬🥒🫑🌶🍞🥞🍕🥙 P.S. I think that your channel is better or as good as the Food Network shows I used to watch years ago!!
You're so welcome, this is really what my family is eating for dinner so it's really no problem at all. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment tonight, it means the world to me 👍
I loved your video. You've given me some great ideas. The easy ideas are always so helpful to me as a full-time working mom. I'm craving beans and cornbread now. I haven't made pintos in years. My husband and I have 4 kids (ages 23, 19, 16, and 6) and no one in this house likes them but me. I live in the same county as South Pittsburg but have never been to Lodge. I have a nephew who works there. I've been needing some cast iron because I've never really cooked with it, and I feel I need to as a southern woman. Lol. I'll have to check out their selection. I do have a cast iron mold for cornbread that I've inherited from grandparents but I gotta clean it. It's rusty, but I hope I can salvage it. Anyways, thanks for your amazing video. I watch every single one. ❤️
😊 Well that's just the most encouraging and sweetest thing I've heard in a long time. ❤️ Thank you so much for this comment, it really means a lot to me. Thanks for watching and have a blessed week 😊
Hello Mama Mel, I'm new to your channel, probably about three weeks now.I love everything & watching you cook.You really inspire me.The salad looks delicious. I found the secret sauce & the shredded lettuce I already had the ground beef and cheese, so I will be making your burgers one day this week. Just got to get the buns .God bless you & your family. Enjoy your week. Love from Lula Mae & Family. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Welcome friend, thank you so much for your kind words. They really mean the world to me. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment and introduce yourself. I love getting to know everyone. Thanks again and have a blessed week 🥰
Everything looked delicious. I am new to your channel about 2 weeks now and I love watching you cook and listening to everything you say. Thank you for another great video and we'll see you next time.
Hello and welcome new friend! Thank you so much for this sweet comment, I appreciate it so much 💗 Thank you for watching and taking the time to introduce yourself tonight, have a great week 😀
I love your cast iron skillet. I live about 30 miles from the Lodge Factory in South Pittsburg. I'm planning to go down to visit family next week and stop in at Lodge while I am there.
Thanks 😊 here's a link to my latest crockpot video, but honestly I normally use it at least once every week 😉😊 th-cam.com/video/kjUurG6HQn8/w-d-xo.html
I could watch your videos all day. You make everything look so good. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Can't wait to get in the kitchen tomorrow.
Happy Monday thanks for another great video I'm going to make the cube steak this week for easy dinner looks delicious 😋 my friend have blessed week your friend Sue from Pittsburgh
Love all your meals that you fixed. They all look absolutely delicious. The pinto beans and fried potatoes looked amazing!! Thanks for some great ideas!
We love Lee's Chicken. When we lived in Ohio we ate it when I didn't feel like making homemade. Wish they were here in Northeast Georgia. I'm thinkin we need to move to Tenn. lol Fantastic price on the skillet. Going to have to try that salad. I've never eaten poppyseed dressing.
Miss Mel, I just use the Louisiana Fish Fry blue envelope for my veggies and green tomatoes 😋😋. Coats very lightly (I dont use the egg, either). You should try it. I'm sure it is just glorified corn meal.
Hi Mel as always everything looked wonderful and delicious I'm always delighted to see your videos thank you for your time ..I pray 🙏 you have a beautiful week don't work too hard !! ❤💋😆
I hope you're feeling better Mel! If you don't please call your doctor, I was having a hard time with my allergies and ended up at my doctor's offive for my yearly physical and she wrote a few new scripts for me. I feel so much better this summer.
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Yes in addition to the Zyrtec, flonase, pataday that I use daily she added singulair and azelastine. I live in OH and cottonwood season is my worst time.
Omg....everything looks so delicious.....this was a very special video!!!! I'm sitting here dying to taste it all....I dont know how you come up with such delicious recipes and food combinations!!! And I would bet you know this old time remedy for allergies but I'll mention it anyway......Eat local honey!!! It always works for me! As always cant wait to see more of your videos!!
Hi Aunt Mel. Another great video of mouth watering meals. Everything looks so delicious. Adding a few of these meals to my July meal plan. Have a wonderful evening and week. See you next video. Stay safe, healthy, and cool. God Bless.
Hi Mel👋👋👋 Great vid and meals, everything looks so yummy. I use items in my pantry that has gone past the expiration date, I’ve even used refrigerated dough that’s gone past the expiration date too and I’ve never had an issue and I’m still here, it’s fine and no shame either💁🏻♀️ zi hope you’re feeling better, allergies have been awful for me too as well as dealing w/a problem w/my eyes but I’m here and that’s what matters. TYFS, take good care and I hope you have a blessed day/week my friend♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel To be honest, I have also been in a funk for several weeks. I think it is the unprecedented time in which we live. Not much longer and we will go to our eternal Home. Keep pressin on friend, We don't have much further to trod. Many prayers for a better week for you!
@@cathynations7169 I think you are exactly right, lots of suffering and bad news flooding our minds. Praise the Lord this place is not our home 🥰🙏❤️ love and prayers for you too sweet friend
14K subscribers!! Whoot!! Congrats Mel! You are growing by leaps and bounds!! I am so happy for you! Everything looked so good! I am a Lodge cast iron collector...lol...sort of. I have more pieces that I really need, but I use all of them. Hope you have a great week ahead. We could sure use some rain here in my little corner of Virginia. It's been really hot and dry for a couple of weeks. They are calling for rain tomorrow and Tues. I hope we get some! God bless!
Thanks SO much friend 😘 God has been so good to us here. And I love all my cast-iron too ❤️ We got a pretty decent little rain tonight, maybe it will make its way up there to you too. Thanks for watching and always supporting, have a great week 😀
I know it may seem contradicting, but try to pat dry the veggies some before coating. Sometimes too much moisture causes breading to slide off or not stick. Also not over crowding when frying and let oil get hot enough before frying can help.
Everything looked so delish! And Lee’s chicken! We wish we had one. It’s my husbands berry favorite. The closest one is maybe an hour and a half. We love their livers and gizzards too!
Hi Mel I am new to your channel. I was watching old videos and you made a comment about putting things together in the crockpot at 6am. I am sure you know, but in case you didn’t you can put everything in your crockpot the night before put the lid on it and in the morning take it out add your liquid and turn it on. That will give you less to do in the mornings. I used to do it but I am home now so there is no need for me unless I have to leave really early.
What amazing deal on the skillet so happy for u. Cube steak is really hard to find around here I ate it all the time as a kid funny don't think I have ever made for my family. Hopefully I can find it this week it's good solid meal that can stretch your $. God Bless ✝
Wonderful food - I'm getting inspired by your recipes. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July holiday and I would love to see what foods you make for the 4th!
Hello Sweet Mel. I always look forward to your videos every Sunday. I absolutely love your new skillet. I need one.. We Love Pinto beans and corn bread and Fried potatoes. What a Delicious Meal. Your Salad had my mouth watering. It looked so Tasty. Thanks so much for sharing sweetie. God Bless Y'all. Love you Mel!! 💕 Your Indiana Friend.
Can't wait for Sunday nights and grabbing my glass of sweet tea! Mel that salad looks sooo good 👍 I have never had it from panera but I think you have made me hafta try it lol
Thank you so much for watching, I will do my best to continue to show easy oh easy good meals that I think your family would love peri would love. And I always have a link in my description bix where you can order Auntie Nonos seasonings and get 30% off and free shipping when you use that link or code. Thank you so much again for always watching and supporting.
I ❤️ that salad so much 😋 and thank you, I believe we ALL probably deserve it 🤣 Life is crazy 🤪 Thank you so much for watching it means the world to me.
Those vegetables done in the cast iron skillet looked delicious! Wise idea to use up stock just expired or about to. I've got to admit though, I'd probably have thrown out the evaporated milk! You are really a good cook, I can tell.
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel You are welcome. I love to watch actual cooking, not just heating up things. And I've never thought to try cube steak in the crock pot. My husband prefers it chicken fried. However, I have tried it with Durkee Swiss Steak seasoning packet and tomato puree for swiss steak and it's delicious.
I do usually like to brown it up really nice before I crock it, but it still turns out nice either way. I also enjoy "just cooking " no recipes or casseroles, just food 😋 I try to keep it quick and easy by balancing the good whole foods with some can and/or convenience items.
Oh my gosh Lee’s!!! Idk about the one near you, but the only one near us is like 2 hours away in my hometown in Ky. But last year they changed their cole slaw recipe and it’s not the same!! 😫😡 We were so disappointed. I’m so picky about cole slaw and we loved Lee’s. I wish they’d change it back

Thank YOU for watching 😊
awesome ideas. That poppyseed salad looks amazing. We all need a week that is lighter and easier! You deserve it I am sure. :)
I ❤️ that salad so much 😋 and thank you, I believe we ALL probably deserve it 🤣 Life is crazy 🤪 Thank you so much for watching it means the world to me.
Those vegetables done in the cast iron skillet looked delicious! Wise idea to use up stock just expired or about to. I've got to admit though, I'd probably have thrown out the evaporated milk! You are really a good cook, I can tell.
😊 thank you so much for this sweet comment, I just hate to waste food 😉 Hope you have a blessed week friend 😊
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel You are welcome. I love to watch actual cooking, not just heating up things. And I've never thought to try cube steak in the crock pot. My husband prefers it chicken fried. However, I have tried it with Durkee Swiss Steak seasoning packet and tomato puree for swiss steak and it's delicious.
I do usually like to brown it up really nice before I crock it, but it still turns out nice either way. I also enjoy "just cooking " no recipes or casseroles, just food 😋 I try to keep it quick and easy by balancing the good whole foods with some can and/or convenience items.
Oh my gosh Lee’s!!! Idk about the one near you, but the only one near us is like 2 hours away in my hometown in Ky. But last year they changed their cole slaw recipe and it’s not the same!! 😫😡 We were so disappointed. I’m so picky about cole slaw and we loved Lee’s. I wish they’d change it back
Oh no! Ours is really good.
love your recipes. Where did you buy the pretty Blue & White Bowl with the plastic lid?
