My Mum drinks a hot chocolate every night, so last year for Mother’s Day I decided to gourmet it up for her and made her a hot chocolate station. I bought a couple of nice mugs and a tray, and I made up 3 different hot chocolate mixes in pint jars, plus a quart jar full of marshmallows. I then made hot chocolates on a stick as well which is melted chocolate poured into mini muffin moulds and decorated with sprinkles and mini marshmallows and then shove a popsicle stick in once it starts to set. She absolutely loved it and asked for the same thing again each year, so this year I made quart jars of the mixes and did the sticks again too. And marshmallows of course. She has said a few times that they’re the most thoughtful gifts she has ever received.
Some of my best memories are with my maw maw (that’s what they are called in west va) in the kitchen, doing crafts etc. I miss both my maw maws so much.
@@HomesteadTessie Tessie it is so nice t be outside to work I was cleaning out my garage still have lots to do yet just so nice I had every window open for air:) I'm loving this weather:)
This is great! I never thought of making a rice mix. Sometimes I like eating flavored rice mixes just to have a change. I am making this for sure. I love seeing your granddaughters in the videos. Their little hands in the mixing bowl was a nice touch. So cute!
it,s almost like we grew up together, even though we are not related,, i understand you better then some channels, i never knew any one else knew about how i made my broccoli rice soup mix, just add to an 8 x 10 rectangle cake pan and 4 chicken leg quarters and a can of cream of mushroom soup or a can of cream of chicken soup and a cup of water mix then add chicken quarters and bake at 350f. for an hour or till the chicken jucies run clear,, my grand mom and mom taught me this recipe a while back in the late 1970s or early 1980s, thank you for the great tips
I have that same little nesco cooker. I have had it for years! Love it, I use it all summer long on my back porch when I don't want to heat up the kitchen. Made baked potatoes in it today.
Love these videos, I am currently making dried meals in a jar with directions taped to the side of the jar for my husband to use when I am in the hospital.
So sweet when I see your granddaughters helping out I know they're loving it. They are sure blessed to have a sweet grandma like you. I love the little pizza basket that was pretty awesome you have such wonderful ideas. Love you sister have a beautiful evening. Take care God bless.💖
Tessie, the pizza gift basket, is one of the best ideas, I've seen. I know of several people (most in my family),that would love getting a basket like that.
Those are some recipes I will make but I do wish they were printed under the show more so that I could copy, paste and print them. Now that I have the sodium free bullion there are lots more recipes I can make and Smitty(hubby) can eat also. Have a blessed day Tessie.
Hi Tessie sis. 🌞 YUM! I used to buy dip mixes at a specialty store...but they contained preservatives. This is a great way to make the dips! Pizza gift is so cute. TFS Love you. 💜💜💜💜
Tessie, I absolutely love this video. I’ve already made your pizza sauce and will be making the pizza dough mix to go with it for Christmas gift baskets. I could add the dehydrated tomatoes and basil for toppings. There is no limit to what could be added to these baskets. I’m so excited! Thank you Tessie, blessings to you💜
Tessie,. The pizza dough mix and pizza sauce basket is a really good gift. I really like the gifts that are made from the heart. One year I was given homemade lotion and it was better than the best lotion you could buy in a store or online somewhere. A Nice beautiful thought behind what you make for someone else.
That is what I'm going to do this year I think making something like that is a lot better in these times right now we have three daughters and 11 grandchildren and two great grandchildren so it get very expensive around Christmas time and birthdays but I make a lot of gifts and bake a lot and give them thank you Tessie for the great ideas you give us God bless you
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:) Wish you all a wonderful blessed Tuesday filled with Gods joy and happiness:) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world:) God Bless You! Love you all:) Keep smiling:)
Good Evening Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:) Please remember to hit the like button it helps Tessie Greatly:) Also play Tessie's play lists Tessie will appreciate it lots:)
VERY useful video -I have a lot up, but not mixes made up yet -- too busy. If not a big meat eater, can exchange most of the meat with mushrooms (In my case). So, even with health issues, these recipes are good. When I finish the garden in about a month, I will hopefully make up some onion soup mix, mushroom soup mix, and that onion dip. I am alone and think of all the time that saves WooHoo TY
I have been doing a lot of dehydrating lately! I’ve also been gifted a lot of cauliflower, but you could do the same recipe with that instead of the broccoli! Thank you for sharing :-). I have plans to dehydrate potato slices so that I can make scallop potato mix!
Wow Tessie love this lots love the meals in a jar great gift idea:) Tessie I'm writing down these recipes keeping a file on all of them:) It's been so cool and windy today was great to work outside with out sweating for a change:) Love you my sister:) God Bless you and Ken:)
Tessie, little cute busy hands helping granny soooo sweet.I love these recipes I’m doing these, winter prep time!! I just picked up a pressure canner for FREE today Y🥰Y I’v been following your lead Tessie & checking out For Free Sites & a neighbour just told me about a Food Hub they have lots of produce to take you just give a small donation.I am so relieved finances are running low & thanks to your videos & advice me & mine won’t go short.God Bless you & yours.Live from Lizzie.
Tessie, please bear with me, cause I am new to this. The mix with the yeast you do not can it, correct? I'm thinking if you exposed it to heat for canning it would affect the yeast. Is that correct? And then with the broccoli and rice- the broccoli is already dried? Sorry, but I go to sleep early and I didn't catch it all. I will go back and watch it again. It amazes me to do that and you have your own convenience food. There is so much to learn. And I am a late bloomer. Sixty one but enjoy learning. Thank you for sharing these recipes with us.💕💕💕 Now, I watched it again. Very easy to follow. Do you store the rice/broccoli mix in jars also! I'm all done! Yeah.
Hello Owen. It was a beautiful but very hot day here today. Is your back feeling better? I've had you on my prayer list since you said you had hurt it.
@@marybethsmith6458 Good evening Marybeth Smith:) It was a beautiful cool day here was outside all day so wonderful:) TY for keeping me in prayer I'm doing better:)
Tessie , That looked so nice pizza great gift idea , even for teenager's ! ! They would love that for when they have slumber party or do they call it sleep over ? Any way great gift idea , Thank you for the video . God Bless 😇 everyone and have a great evening
I was wondering if you could make the dip mix and add some dry milk , so if you do not have sour cream the dry milk and seasonings could be used to make homemade sour cream ??
That's my type of gift anything homemade is better then something from a store making it shows you care enough to take the time to do it
Same here! 🌞
I agree Melodie Gasaway nothing like homemade:)
@@owen4248 Just wish people around me agreed too
