Oh, children in my area of Minnesota were so privileged to have “lunch ladies”. The smells, the food and awesome taste and the love and care that went into each bite or piece of conversation. What a blessing. ❤. I thank them so much. I’m almost 71 and will always think of each and every one of those ladies who took their time and talent to care for children 🥰
I worked in the school cafeteria for 12 years when my 2 children were in school and I did the baking. We made everything from scratch and the kids loved them. Homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. Yum!!
Mr. Brown reminds me so much of my late father. I love looking at his hands. They look like Daddy's hands. Man hands. Hard working hands. And your garden!! Daddy's gardens we're so beautiful. They looked like landscaping. And he did the majority of the cooking. Nobody could cook to satisfy him. Thanks for the memories
My fondest memories are the special items I loved in elementary school in the mid fifties on and into the 60s with junior hi and onward. I still try to replicate many favorites but even the fish sticks (❤️) and numerous others. Oh the clover leaf rolls (2) with a dab of grape jelly I tied to disperse evenly on each pillowy bite.
Mr. Brown. You warmed my heart with your fashion show!! So good to have a good laugh. Your school memories are similar to mine, minus the saws , hatchet s and hammers.. haha!! We had two grades per room, 1 thru 8. The principal taught 7/8 and coached the boys basketball team. There were only 4 in my 8th grade class so the school was consolidated into a larger district. Sad day. The building sold off to a Christian school a few years ago , made me very happy. We had thee best hot lunches all from scratch. I can still see those beautiful faces smiling as they served all the delicious wonderful meals. We said grace before we ate. Sometimes it was my only meal. My dad had heart disease, four heart attacks, and passed away when I was 12. Those meals kept me... I will never forget how kind those lunch ladies and teachers were.
We use to enjoy the little things but these days we let the little things go; thinking they don't mean anything, but they mean everything! Thank God for every little thing!❤❤❤
You are bringing this ole' disabled granny immeasurable joy ma'am. Since my stroke three years ago cooking is my main job and joy here; everything else is still beyond me at this time. Thank you for the free lessons in how to do it all well. You have the best personality, and I thank you!
Ya’lls memories of yesteryear are so heartwarming. Just remembering how innocent the way it used to be makes my heart feel all warm and sad for today’s generation. God bless us all. Stay safe and love like there’s no tomorrow 🙏🏻💙💖💖🙏🏻
I love your podcast I watch it all the time I'm sorry this recipe turned out bad for me and I'm a pretty good Baker Berry dry not much flavor but anyway I love the stories about the lunch ladies. My favorite has a child who had very little food at home was the smell when you went into that dining hall it was so wonderful. Thank you for the memory stories I love you both so much. Try to be honest.
I'm going to put the dry ingredients in bags so when I want these I can just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients! I do the same with my corn mix. Thank you Ms. Lori!!! As my granddaughter would say, "you're the best!"
I still sift flour (unbleached) and put 2 cups (25grams IIRC) in 1 quart freezer zip locks. I sift and bag up 5 lbs at a time and makes baking sooo much easier. Lots of recipes call for 2c flour and if i need more or less I can adjust. Flour needs to be sifted because otherwise you are using too much...it compacts.
"Don't get in my stuff and play dress up." I'm still laughing. 😂😂😂 can't wait to make these brownies. They look amazing. Once again thank you guys for being such an amazing blessing.
Lord have mercy, I thought Phil Robertson had popped into your kitchen when Mr. Brown walked in. He busted my britches when he talked about his schooldays. Brownies look delicious and your hair is gorgeous. I am surprised TV hasn’t called you two for a variety show of cooking and stories. I am a fan for sure!
My Mom always wrote her recipes with upper case T for table spoon and lower case T for teaspoon. Great memories.... I will love making this with fresh milled flour!
Your video’s are the best! I like the cooking video’s best, but enjoy them all! Your husband and you are the greatest! If there were more parents and grandparents like you the world would be a better place! BTW, your hair looks fabulous!
It’s called Conservative Values ♥️ Something that parents are not passing down to this generation. People with conservative values are a dying breed in America and as you can see. It’s a darn right Shame. 🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹
My grandma was a lunch lady in Missouri when I was a child. She always talked about making all of the food from scratch. I was jealous because my school didn't have that great of food. Great memories! 💗
LOVED this one, Miss Lori! You covered so much, other than just the brownie recipe. And at the first, when Mr Brown came in, in the suglasses...HILARIOUS! You guys are SO great together! I LOVE brownies, and this looks like a GREAT recipe! Can't wait to try this. God bless you, both!
Seeing how you & Mr. B are together🥰... makes me miss my 😍sweetie-pie😍so-sooo much !!! But also makes me so happy to see another couple as delightfully happy & content together as we were before my darlin’s death ... happy new year to you two cuties‼️🤗
It's a joy to see lovely family home cooking. I cook from scratch all the way to my sandwich bread. I love seeing new ideas or different ways. I am not able to drive due to my epilepsy so I have had my groceries delivered since Instacart came to my area long before the pandemic. Since the pandemic it has been a lifesaver. I live in a smaller town and I have gotten to know most of the shoppers. They are lovely people who really try hard to get me great produce. Thank you for your recipes and all around lovely chats.
I remember my school lunches they where like Mr.Brown says it was like eating at home. We always knew each morning what we were having for lunch you could smell it cooking. Those were the good old days.
Oh add me to the invite🙋🏻♀️. It would be quite the feast for certain. Like one big ole “church supper”😊. Hi I’m Darlene over at Souper at 60. Ya’all come on over and visit with me in my kitchen sometime. Love to have you. Lord bless❤️🇺🇸
I have the best food memories dating from when i was in Junior High School! My mom was a clueless cook so the meals at home were bland and pretty bad mostly. We never got any money to buy lunchboxes at school but when i started to earn some money babysitting i bought myself lunchboxes for lunch! Pure heaven! My love for food began there. I am 66 and wouldn’t mind eating lunchbox meals everyday still 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My husband has bragged about the delicious salads served in his lunchroom. Wish I had that dressing recipe he tries to describe. It was an oil vinegar-combo, slightly sweet. He went to a Catholic school with Italian lunch ladies. He was truly in love with those ladies and he was also kind of chubby, lol.
Mr. Brown's story brought back a lot of memories back for me. I went to a one room school, grades 1-8. We older students prepared lunch, from the big cans. I guess they couldn't afford to hire a cook. We enjoyed it though. I was the only student in my 8th grade class. Lol. We built forts, played ball with bats of pieces of wood or tree branches, had dug outs under the school house...soo many memories, life was good.
Bertie, That's an amazing story! I come from a very small town with a small school and hear lots of stories about small schools, but I don't think I've ever heard tell of the older students cooking lunch for the younger! 💗
Bertie Yearout: Life was better back then. In today's world it seems/or is a nightmare of people being shot dead or terribly maimed, and innocent school children being shot dead in their school rooms. I went to a one room school also. When we had recess, Miss Edna Jane Rich, a very tall blond lady would come outside onto the school porch and blow her whistle and announce, "Recess is over. Come inside now." I think that must have been 1941 because WW2 had just started, and we had to practice the Air Raid Drills. Our school Principle, Mr. Ross at another school, was a very tall dark haired man who also helped cook the school lunches that were served in huge bowels on Wooden picnic tables covered in 'Oil Cloth' table cloths in the basement. He would also say Grace before we ate. The teachers ate with us, too. It was very much like a family setting. There was also a galvanized wash tub filled with apples grown on school grounds, and peaches and pears when they were ripe and ready. And, always fresh baked cookies laying on last nights newspaper on the "Cookie Table." White and chocolate milk was two cents a bottle with a straw. Every child would eat as much as they could, and when lunch was over, return to the class room for a rest period with their heads on their desk cradled in their arms...and fall into a "Lunch Nap." You and I have seen a lot happen in the world, and I understand what your comment was about. I don't think the younger generation is able to process our life back in the old days. And, as Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories."
Any time you say "lunch lady" my ears perk up. I can still remember the smell of the fresh baked items wafting down the halls mid morning, making me drool in anticipation of what was for lunch.
I love WATCHING your videos and laughed so hard when your husband came out with your apron on n those sunglasses on.i see why you don't watched tv you two are a hoot..loved it
Also, I remember the principal asking us to put our guns under the seat of the truck and not leave them in plain view in the back window in the gun rack....good times. No one thought anything of it.
I'am laughing and laughing at Mr. Brown's story 😂😂😂 I love y'all and surly bring back memories of my childhood. I'm 56 and God Bless y'all and hug you tight for your yummy recipes, gardening and canning and stories that give the laughter and love that this world needs more of today. We need to go back our roots. ❤❤❤
Not long ago, my daughters and I were talking about school cafeteria food and our favorites, and the wonderful ladies who cooked for all of us. And how wonderful our meals were and our favorite days to eat at the cafeteria. 🥰 Memories.....
Loving you from Tennessee! Your TH-cam channel is the best! Highlight of my day to see a new video! You & Mr. Brown are so genuine. You can’t make that up.
Grandson’s going to make them right now ! He’s become quite the chef since this heart problem hit me ! I just love y’all ....be blessed and favored always.🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for being on TH-cam. With all the really hard things going on in the country right now, your videos are so kind and soothing, and I can just feel my blood pressure go down every time you speak. I appreciate y'all so much. With love from New Braunfels, Texas.
Miss Laurie, my husband and I are eating your brownies as I type. Mr Spear and I are eating them warm just like you and Mr Brown! They are fudgy and delicious! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! I love your video, too!
I am 82 and remember my lunch lady days. I had six children and worked in school lunch rooms so I could be home when they were. I still have people in their 40s etc. who remember me, feels good. I love you and mr. brown look forward to seeing you on here
Miss Lori...Your grandchildren are beautiful! I really enjoyed this video! I have a homemade brownie recipe that I make sometimes, but I want to try yours soon. They looked delicious! Mr. Brown made me laugh when he came out wearing your apron! I thought maybe he was going to try to lick the bowl....lol. When I worked in the school cafeteria here, the meals that we made from scratch were the kids favorite meals. They loved the chicken and noodles with homemade rolls and also the spaghetti. I enjoyed hearing Mr. Brown's stories and listening to your chit chat. You made my day! Have a wonderful weekend & God Bless.
These look delicious! I enjoy spending time with you both in the kitchen. It reminds me of many happy memories of loved ones who have passed but what a joy those memories are stirred up in my mind. Thank you both!
I love you and Mr. Brown and your cabin. I'm 65 and when I was little I remember our lunch lady always making homemade lunches for us not the stuff they do now. Those were the days. I also remember going to a one room school when I first started school we had to walk there and back everyday.
I remember our lunch ladies in elementary school. They cooked lunches every day! The smells that would come out of our cafeteria were amazing!! One desert I ABSOLUTELY LOVED was their chocolate brownies with chocolate/peanut butter frosting! Could I add 1/2 a cup peanut butter to the frosting? Or I could use your peanut butter brownies frosting, right?! I have tried many of your recipes! My husband loved every one of them! Thank you and Mr Brown for sharing!!
My word! Peanut butter frosting on a decadent chocolate brownie sounds like sheer heaven! Guess what I’ll be baking this weekend? I’m about to gain 20 lbs. since I found this wonderful channel. Thanks for the suggestion! This couple is absolutely precious, aren’t they?
I remember chocolate/peanut butter brownie/cake/bar thingies, too!! They were sooooooo good! Did you figure out how to recreate them? Also, our chocolate cake was yummm! I grew up in Texas in the ‘80’s. What about you?
It's so wonderful seeing y'alls faces in them precious grandbabies faces! Thank you for this recipe❤ Great stories Mr. Brown!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us❤
Haven’t been looking at TH-cam for a long while - you’re short hair is adorable!!! As always you make us hungry watching you cook. Love you and Mr Brown!
Mr Brown talking abt his school. in the little town the elementary I went to my 5-6 grade teacher was the principal,bus driver and coach... we had a little crick going thru the playground we played in that without getting wet building dams it was awesome best memories
I just love you two! Such a sweet couple! I love your recipes and make many of them to rave reviews of my family! When you guys said the brownies were lairapin good, I was so surprised! Our family says that and I have never heard anyone else use that term! So funny!
Thank you for all you do to teach your viewers how to make delicious foods. I LOVE that Mr. Brown loves to make you laugh. I love watching the interaction between you two as much as I love learning new recipes. Ms. Lori, I love your calm nature and sweet personality. So glad I came across your TH-cam channel.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. They always brighten my days, lift me up and inspire me to make delicious food! Your recipes are amazing!! Thanks so much! Love when Mr. Brown joins you. You send such a positive message. We are all better for it. Oh, love your hair!!
Ohhhh my goodness I want a bite!!😋Have a beautiful evening I love y'all Mr.Brown can you make your sausage gravy mine just never turns out right so maybe you can make some up and then I can tell everyone Mr.Brown taught me this!!☺😘❤🖐
Oh me Oh my...........Miss. Lori............ This is number ONE with me..... this recipe is now at the TOP OF MY LIST !!! Love your hair 💜. Would you mind doing the Fruit Cake, your friend sent you, When you get time kid 💕
At my high school several trucks at gunracks in their pickups. 🤣 So funny to remember those times. Thank you for sharing your recipes and a part of your blessed lives. Your shorter hair is very becoming to you. Beautiful .
My Mammaw was my lunch lady from kindergarten until my family moved when I started 4th grade. I’m 53 yr old now and watching your "lunch lady" videos reminds me of how simple life used to be. By all means, next time you’re in the Harrison,AR area my husband and I would love to meet for dinner!❤
I love your videos. I have been baking small meat pies, canning beans (made pork and beans), and I think the brownies will be next. I love seeing your grandchildren. Grandkids are such a blessing! God bless.
Love your stories...we’re from the same era. I remember the milk dispensers you’re talking about...and the day when the boys had their hunting guns in their pickup trucks when they drive to school...and no one gave it a second thought because the idea that anything bad could happen never even entered anyone’s minds!
Thanks Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown, my husband and I truly enjoy watching your video’s. Thanks for sharing those child hood memories with us Mr. Brown, we both laugh 😂. Mrs.Lori, thanks for all those wonderful recipes. You both are great simple people and that’s what we like the most. Thanks for everything. ❤️
Oh my goodness! Love the lunch lady recipes. Please share them all. They bring back such good memories of my childhood. Thanks for your videos and sharing the simple BUSY way of life.
Love Mr. Brown's sense of Humor!
U've truly opened up a beautiful new world to me
In these scary and strange times, your content just hits all the right notes. It’s sweet and real and funny and informative...and makes us feel like everything is going to be okay💗
I so agree! I just turn on this channel to hear talk LOL.
Love the history behind the old school days stories thanku 😊
Oh, children in my area of Minnesota were so privileged to have “lunch ladies”. The smells, the food and awesome taste and the love and care that went into each bite or piece of conversation. What a blessing. ❤. I thank them so much. I’m almost 71 and will always think of each and every one of those ladies who took their time and talent to care for children 🥰
Hanging out with you and Mr. Brown is like visiting with family. I love it
It really is like there's any family I'm new here on this site. It's fun for me because I never had family like this
I worked in the school cafeteria for 12 years when my 2 children were in school and I did the baking. We made everything from scratch and the kids loved them. Homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. Yum!!
Mr. Brown reminds me so much of my late father. I love looking at his hands. They look like Daddy's hands. Man hands. Hard working hands. And your garden!! Daddy's gardens we're so beautiful. They looked like landscaping. And he did the majority of the cooking. Nobody could cook to satisfy him. Thanks for the memories
Those were the good days! Now our kids get canned, processed stuff in a lot of schools.
@@tracyhenderson5856 that's why they're stunted in the head.
Yes, I work in school cafeterias and mad everything from scratch also. ❤️❤️
My fondest memories are the special items I loved in elementary school in the mid fifties on and into the 60s with junior hi and onward. I still try to replicate many favorites but even the fish sticks (❤️) and numerous others. Oh the clover leaf rolls (2) with a dab of grape jelly I tied to disperse evenly on each pillowy bite.
Mr. Brown. You warmed my heart with your fashion show!! So good to have a good laugh. Your school memories are similar to mine, minus the saws , hatchet s and hammers.. haha!! We had two grades per room, 1 thru 8. The principal taught 7/8 and coached the boys basketball team. There were only 4 in my 8th grade class so the school was consolidated into a larger district. Sad day. The building sold off to a Christian school a few years ago , made me very happy.
We had thee best hot lunches all from scratch. I can still see those beautiful faces smiling as they served all the delicious wonderful meals. We said grace before we ate. Sometimes it was my only meal. My dad had heart disease, four heart attacks, and passed away when I was 12. Those meals kept me... I will never forget how kind those lunch ladies and teachers were.
Laughter is the best medicine. Nice to have a husband like him.
We use to enjoy the little things but these days we let the little things go; thinking they don't mean anything, but they mean everything! Thank God for every little thing!❤❤❤
You are bringing this ole' disabled granny immeasurable joy ma'am. Since my stroke three years ago cooking is my main job and joy here; everything else is still beyond me at this time. Thank you for the free lessons in how to do it all well. You have the best personality, and I thank you!
Thank you God Bless
thankU 4 ur kindness in bringing us ur beautifully blessed family life & recipes Amen
Ya’lls memories of yesteryear are so heartwarming. Just remembering how innocent the way it used to be makes my heart feel all warm and sad for today’s generation. God bless us all. Stay safe and love like there’s no tomorrow 🙏🏻💙💖💖🙏🏻
And look everyone grew up healthy and happy and respectful of everyone!
I sure miss the good ole days
You wear the short hair beautifully, I also love your hair when it is long and pinned up. You are always so beautiful. Thanks for the laugh Mr. Brown.
I love your podcast I watch it all the time I'm sorry this recipe turned out bad for me and I'm a pretty good Baker Berry dry not much flavor but anyway I love the stories about the lunch ladies. My favorite has a child who had very little food at home was the smell when you went into that dining hall it was so wonderful. Thank you for the memory stories I love you both so much. Try to be honest.
I'm going to put the dry ingredients in bags so when I want these I can just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients! I do the same with my corn mix. Thank you Ms. Lori!!! As my granddaughter would say, "you're the best!"
I still sift flour (unbleached) and put 2 cups (25grams IIRC) in 1 quart freezer zip locks. I sift and bag up 5 lbs at a time and makes baking sooo much easier. Lots of recipes call for 2c flour and if i need more or less I can adjust. Flour needs to be sifted because otherwise you are using too much...it compacts.
@@elainelily9910 Do you have to sift it again when you go to use it? Thank you for the great tip, Elaine. 😉
"Don't get in my stuff and play dress up." I'm still laughing. 😂😂😂 can't wait to make these brownies. They look amazing. Once again thank you guys for being such an amazing blessing.
I love papa bears and little mama bears stories that you tell❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lord have mercy, I thought Phil Robertson had popped into your kitchen when Mr. Brown walked in. He busted my britches when he talked about his schooldays. Brownies look delicious and your hair is gorgeous. I am surprised TV hasn’t called you two for a variety show of cooking and stories. I am a fan for sure!
What time is supper?😊 I wish I was your neighbor. You both are so sweet and you always make me smile. Bless both of you!!
I’m with you Miss Lori, I’m in the mood for some chocolate. 😋 yummy! Mr Brown you are a character. You just made us all laugh. Much love to you both.
My Mom always wrote her recipes with upper case T for table spoon and lower case T for teaspoon. Great memories.... I will love making this with fresh milled flour!
The cooks shorthand. Fond memories.
You seem like such a sweet lady...you remind me of the sweet ladies that cooked and served lunch at my little country school.
She is.
Both are simply Precious!
Thank you.
True.They were almost always cheerful and kind.
Your video’s are the best! I like the cooking video’s best, but enjoy them all! Your husband and you are the greatest! If there were more parents and grandparents like you the world would be a better place! BTW, your hair looks fabulous!
Absolutely the best people right there!!

Leaning on the everlasting arms." Takes me back to when we were having church in the basement. GREAT MEMORIES.
Mr. Brown's story brought back a lot of memories back for me. I went to a one room school, grades 1-8. We older students prepared lunch, from the big cans. I guess they couldn't afford to hire a cook. We enjoyed it though. I was the only student in my 8th grade class. Lol. We built forts, played ball with bats of pieces of wood or tree branches, had dug outs under the school house...soo many memories, life was good.

Not long ago, my daughters and I were talking about school cafeteria food and our favorites, and the wonderful ladies who cooked for all of us. And how wonderful our meals were and our favorite days to eat at the cafeteria. 🥰 Memories.....
When I was in 1st-6th grade we had the best meals! Home cooked, no cans.
It's nice to see Mr. Brown so chatty and happy! Good job Mrs. Brown 😉👍
Absolutely loving the stories. My Dad passed away in April, and hearing stories is possibly one of the things i miss the most. 🦋
Loving you from Tennessee! Your TH-cam channel is the best! Highlight of my day to see a new video! You & Mr. Brown are so genuine. You can’t make that up.
Grandson’s going to make them right now ! He’s become quite the chef since this heart problem hit me ! I just love y’all ....be blessed and favored always.🙏🏽❤️
Those brownies look fabulous! And I so enjoy your hospitality while you share the recipe!
I so enjoyed this video. Love the old Dalton school Memories and dear Mr. Johnny Cavenear. He was a great Man. Brownie's look perfect. Love you guys.
Brownies are always a super hit and these look incredible. I like
It’s of walnuts too!, Yummy for the tummy !
Thank you for being on TH-cam. With all the really hard things going on in the country right now, your videos are so kind and soothing, and I can just feel my blood pressure go down every time you speak. I appreciate y'all so much. With love from New Braunfels, Texas.
I’m 5 days into the Daniel fast, and here I am watching brownie videos. Just getting my fix and holding till later.

I just started watching your video's. I love them my grandparents had a farm and they raised pigs for sale. Those were the best times and memories.
Thank you! Xoxoxo
Miss Laurie, my husband and I are eating your brownies as I type. Mr Spear and I are eating them warm just like you and Mr Brown! They are fudgy and delicious! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! I love your video, too!
I love how you love each other and how you laugh together.
This is how I need to store the flour on my counter! None of my containers are ever big enough lol Mr. Brown is just too much! Hahahaha!
You two are adorable !! I love his humor with you and trying to cheer you up and it worked !!
Love mr brown’s story about the milk. I worked for Denny’s for 30 years and the milk came in a large bag with a 10 inch hose attached 😘
April that recollection of the bag of milk like what Mr.Brown spoke of sounds like same thing. We all certainly can come up with some stories.
Grandchildren so cute. You’re hair looks good.
Happy New Year.
Wish I had one of your brownies.
Or 100 of them! Lol

I loved the story about Mr. Browns school memories!! What a good story teller!! Love him!!!
Oh I don’t watch tv either! I want things that are good for my heart and mind! So I watch you and Miss Vickie!
It’s crazy but I like to watch Japanese cooking shows. So relaxing.
try watching the farming pastors wife
I don't watch tv either, my fav you tubers besides Whipporwill is Stansfam, Deer meat for dinner, Blue Gabe, Kelly Young, and Deer Mom.
I am 82 and remember my lunch lady days. I had six children and worked in school lunch rooms so I could be home when they were. I still have people in their 40s etc. who remember me, feels good. I love you and mr. brown look forward to seeing you on here
I loooooove Mr. Brown's stories (and his apron too)
Thank you Mr.Brown for sharing such memories. Makes me chuckle, and we sure do need that now days. So enjoy watching the both of you.
I am so loving your intro. Those little tiny hands in that dough is precious. It fills my heart.
My husband passed away three weeks ago. And it’s the small quiet moments like in your video that I miss so much.
Jane, I'm so sorry, We pray for your strength and Peace, we Love you, xoxoxo
I just have to say I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
even on days when I’m feeling blue you bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. God Bless you both. ❤️
So glad to find your brownie recipe. Live your and Mr.Brown's playfulness and the story of the big milk bag.
Miss Lori...Your grandchildren are beautiful! I really enjoyed this video! I have a homemade brownie recipe that I make sometimes, but I want to try yours soon. They looked delicious! Mr. Brown made me laugh when he came out wearing your apron! I thought maybe he was going to try to lick the bowl....lol. When I worked in the school cafeteria here, the meals that we made from scratch were the kids favorite meals. They loved the chicken and noodles with homemade rolls and also the spaghetti. I enjoyed hearing Mr. Brown's stories and listening to your chit chat. You made my day! Have a wonderful weekend & God Bless.
Thanks Tawna, we used to makes big pots of chicken and noodles, with rolls , the kids loved it here too!
These look delicious! I enjoy spending time with you both in the kitchen. It reminds me of many happy memories of loved ones who have passed but what a joy those memories are stirred up in my mind. Thank you both!
Loved listening to your husbands stories! Reminds me of my daddy ❤️
Y'all remind me of my good friend and her husband. Both of them passed a year an a half ago. I really miss them.
Thanks so much for the recipe and the memories. Loved hearing them!
I love that Mr is from Dalton! My Great Grandma Sally lived there ! And Grandma Meta! 😎
What was their last name?
Crawford. Ollie was my Grandpa. They lived in the big house as you take 1st turn into Dalton!
Oh myyyy, look at that ooey gooey goodness!! I need chocolate!!! 😄 Thank you for another wonderful recipe Mrs Lori!! Hugs!
I love you and Mr. Brown and your cabin. I'm 65 and when I was little I remember our lunch lady always making homemade lunches for us not the stuff they do now. Those were the days. I also remember going to a one room school when I first started school we had to walk there and back everyday.
I remember our lunch ladies in elementary school. They cooked lunches every day! The smells that would come out of our cafeteria were amazing!! One desert I ABSOLUTELY LOVED was their chocolate brownies with chocolate/peanut butter frosting! Could I add 1/2 a cup peanut butter to the frosting? Or I could use your peanut butter brownies frosting, right?! I have tried many of your recipes! My husband loved every one of them! Thank you and Mr Brown for sharing!!
My word! Peanut butter frosting on a decadent chocolate brownie sounds like sheer heaven! Guess what I’ll be baking this weekend? I’m about to gain 20 lbs. since I found this wonderful channel. Thanks for the suggestion! This couple is absolutely precious, aren’t they?
I remember chocolate/peanut butter brownie/cake/bar thingies, too!! They were sooooooo good! Did you figure out how to recreate them? Also, our chocolate cake was yummm! I grew up in Texas in the ‘80’s. What about you?
I LOVE the sketch/drawing of you and your hubby at the beginning of you videos!
It's so wonderful seeing y'alls faces in them precious grandbabies faces! Thank you for this recipe❤
Great stories Mr. Brown!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us❤
Haven’t been looking at TH-cam for a long while - you’re short hair is adorable!!! As always you make us hungry watching you cook. Love you and Mr Brown!
Aren’t grandbabies the best!!! Love your lunch lady recipes. Happy new year and thank you for all you do. I love your kitchen

At my high school several trucks at gunracks in their pickups. 🤣 So funny to remember those times. Thank you for sharing your recipes and a part of your blessed lives. Your shorter hair is very becoming to you. Beautiful .
Thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday Mrs. Lori.
My Mammaw was my lunch lady from kindergarten until my family moved when I started 4th grade. I’m 53 yr old now and watching your "lunch lady" videos reminds me of how simple life used to be. By all means, next time you’re in the Harrison,AR area my husband and I would love to meet for dinner!❤
Thank you
i just love watching your videos, and just know your sweet souls are a blessing to me, thanks
I love your videos. I have been baking small meat pies, canning beans (made pork and beans), and I think the brownies will be next. I love seeing your grandchildren. Grandkids are such a blessing! God bless.
Love your stories...we’re from the same era. I remember the milk dispensers you’re talking about...and the day when the boys had their hunting guns in their pickup trucks when they drive to school...and no one gave it a second thought because the idea that anything bad could happen never even entered anyone’s minds!
Thanks Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown, my husband and I truly enjoy watching your video’s. Thanks for sharing those child hood memories with us Mr. Brown, we both laugh 😂. Mrs.Lori, thanks for all those wonderful recipes. You both are great simple people and that’s what we like the most. Thanks for everything. ❤️
Oh my goodness! Love the lunch lady recipes. Please share them all. They bring back such good memories of my childhood. Thanks for your videos and sharing the simple BUSY way of life.
ZZ top there to be your helper!!!!! Cool beans. I have gotta try this brownie recipe!
Lovely beginning and your grandchildren are beautiful! The brownies look delicious!🙂
My mom and I used to say larapin too when we would make something that went WAY BEYOND YUMMY!
