Your mom at the end made me tear up. She’s probably my age or a little older but her wanting to help others reminds me so much of my mom who passed 15 years ago. She’s very sweet.
Thank you Becky! She taught me how to be a wonderful wife and mom. And basically how to cook over the phone since we lived so far apart. We talked every day and the first words out of her mouth was, “what’s for dinner and how can I help?” She was truly a remarkable woman.
How fun shopping and planning Thanksgiving with your mom. My parents always host Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We all pitch in and bring dishes. I have been doing the turkey breasts for the past few years along with a few other dishes. For Christmas we do brunch, basically the same brunch menu for about 35 years. Often there is a new addition to our brunch, sometimes making it to the permanent menu and sometimes not. Mom makes a creole dish called sausage sauce picante. Basically a most delicious tomato gravy with big chunks of onion, green and red bell pepper, and smoked sausage in a tomato gravy. It is so delicious. My sister makes garlic cheese grits and I make a hot curried fruit. We always have sister shuberts yeast rolls and pigs in a blanket. Sometimes we have a breakfast casserole. And my dad makes the most delicious homemade English trifle, complete with homemade custard, whip cream, and other yummy goodness. I think what makes it even more special is we only serve these dishes on Christmas. Can’t wait to see your video of you and your mom working together to prepare all the dishes.
Hi J, I lost my mom when I was 16 and I'm 62 now and Becky's mom reminds me of my mom too. They were all brought up the same way, helping others and create a beautiful, loving party for all to enjoy.
Your mom is so sweet and thoughtful for being so considerate of everyone's allergies and not wanting anyone to feel left out. I sure could use some of her tips for making things less stressful. I love cooking but I'm thinking that I might need to get one of those roaster pans because it stresses me out trying to bake a turkey and a ham and the casserole dishes. I do make all the deserts the day before and it's a tradition for my young granddaughters to come to help me do that. I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I absolutely loved how she remembers exactly what her grandchildren are allergic to - my brother has Crohn’s disease and I can’t eat any diary, so we both have some serious food limitations, and our mom just keeps forgetting about them :(
Well, I see where you get it all from! What a blessing to have a Mom like that. Love the "family dinner ahead of the holiday" idea. What a loving and gracious thing to do for your children and their spouses. As the mother of 3 teen boys, I'm always thinking ahead about things like that. It's so important to have nurturing relationships with in-laws (meaning you're NOT the complicated relative). I'm definitely going to implement that in the future. And on another note, Mom is rocking those wide framed glasses... love it!
As a flight attendant working on a private jet, I can say for sure your Mum's way of planning and putting together her celebration meal is a great way to ensure it's as smooth and stress-free as possible! That's exactly what I also do for the galley space I have to work in for my onboard guests. Am looking forward to watching you cook together! Have a great weekend 😊
@@AcreHomestead I love your family❣ Y'all are so close & do so much together out of love ❤ for each other & Y'all are helping everyone of us with all your awesome tips & recipes❣ We love you, you're our extended family and friends 🙆♀️❣
I think it's so sweet that your mother care so much about everyone's allergies. I stopped going to the big family Thanksgiving because myself and my son have allergies and we could barely eat anything and I have made it my mission to cook Thanksgiving here at my house every year with all of my kids.
They make dairy free reddiwhip and cool whip! The reddiwhip had coconut/almond and almond, the cool whip is a brand by so delicious called cocowhip. You can also put the cream from a chilled can of full fat coconut milk or a chilled can of coconut cream in a bowl and use a hand mixer to blend them up with a little sugar and vanilla until you have peaks! Store in fridge or whip up before serving dessert so it's fluffy 😊
Such a good idea, particularly as families get older and more in-laws and extended family members become involved. It’s lovely to get together, but generally more people means excessive work for certain members or else some folk still being left out. Doing it this way is a way keeping traditions going whilst also considering others - I love it!
you're mom seems like a wonderful lady lol, and thank you becky i'm 22 years old, i didn't grow up with a lot of structure in my home life, so I'm now teaching myself how to cook dinner and meal prep for my boyfriend and I and I've honestly found your videos to be really inspiring and i hope to one day be as resourceful as you! youre also a really good cook.
My family does thanksgiving potluck style. Everyone brings something. My mom is in charge of 3 appetizers, I have mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, and fudge. Everyone brings like 3 things. We also have a huge thanksgiving turnout (30+ people). It’s in realistic to have one household do all the cooking and baking.
My family does this! My sister in law does the Turkey and stuffing because ironically it’s THE only things she cooks well. 😆 We divvy out the sides & desserts. I’m always on ham duty because the family prefers mine. We have anti Turkey people too so a ham is a must. 💁🏻♀️
This is how we did Christmas lunch with my mother’s extended family growing up - everyone bought a component of the main meal and either an appetiser or a dessert.
Your mum just explained my life in a nut shell. With menopause, sometimes I go into grocery store and come out empty handed. So those lists are a life saver.
Now I know where you got your wonderful organization skills. Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday. I also love making each of my family's favorite things. Seeing this video makes me miss my mom even more. Good memories.
What a blessing you two are! I miss my mom and I have great-grandchildren! My daughters and I do the same thing as y'all. It is all about family! God's blessings!
The first Thanksgiving I had after getting married, I had to go to 5 dinners. My parents, his parents, his grandparents on his mom's side, his grandparents on his dad's side, and our church's dinner. We were turkeyed out. 🦃🦃🦃
What i wouldn't give to have my mom (and daddy) for Thanksgiving again. Even a day of shopping, just remember how blessed you are with your family. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your mom seems like such a sweetheart! She was on it knowing everyone's food allergies and she accommodates all the new members of the family; wonderful! Have a wonderful 🍾 celebration! Condolences to your mom's friend on her loss. I hope she's surrounded by family and friends to help her heal.
I just adore your mother, and her consideration for the kids’ in laws! And I bet she doesn’t mind the peace and quiet on a busy holiday. What a fun day, Becky!
I really enjoy the videos you do with your mom. It’s easy to see where your organization skills come from. It’s lovely that you’re family has removed the pressure of having to choose or eat twice on the holidays. Your moms genuine desire to serve and love those in her home is evident. Thank you for sharing with us.
Have a wonderful Sunday meal with your sweet family❣️ I am so happy that Americans can spend “THIS” Year’s HOLIDAYs TOGETHER ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ YHIPPEE for everyone 🤗
Oh, how I miss my mother. We used to have so much fun together, too. Her birthday falls on Thanksgiving day this year. Cherish every day you have with yours. Xoxo ❤
I'm very sorry about your Mother. I think it is wonderful that you have those special memories with her. She shares a birthday with my husband. His is on Thanksgiving this year too. 🙂
God bless you, your Mom and your family richly! It blessed my heart to hear that last piece your Mom said about hospitality…clearly it is a ministry gift running in the family. Love seeing your well stocked pantries too. We all have lots to be thankful for! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
This early celebration is a genius idea for extended families!! I am in the Northeast and we don't have anything like a Winco, I wish we did! Looking forward to the prep video!
Omg your mom is so sweet and amazing, I love that you are sharing this prep and party with all of us! I love learning the process for hosting these big family gatherings, my mom was the exact same way but once she passed, it was kind of hard to bring the family altogether. Hoping to keep her tradition alive and these videos have really been helping me not to feel so overwhelmed this holiday season! Thank you Becky, Susan and your whole family for sharing, can't wait to see the next video!
My dad refuses to eat turkey so for the rest of the us we have turkey and ham also. Since my mom passed away in 2013, my dad seems to get more picky about his food every year but at 96 years of age I can we won't complain. Just fix what he will eat and then also fix what the rest of us want. Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your family.
I love your Mom! I also love your holiday/party planning. I do so many similar things and have been told I over plan so seeing you guys do this makes me feel so validated. One thing I do along with making a timeline is keeping a notebook where I write down each holiday/party and note who was there, what I served, what I prepped ahead, how much of everything I made and how much got eaten. This way when I want to do something similar I know if I need to make a double batch or to try something new because a recipe wasn't a hit - helps with reducing food waste and making sure my time spent is worthwhile.
For Becky's mom in the comments (Hi!): I would love to see you start your own channel on hospitality. It's something that interests me, and I'd be interested to hear about how you've had all those people in your house over the years and helped them to feel comfortable and welcome in your home. Not just on holidays, but every day.
There is something old world glam about your Mom, I feel like she could have run an entire estate. Love the checklists! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Becky
I now see where you get your organizational skills from or rather who you get them from. Your Mom is great as are you. I made your frozen dinner rolls...well, I used my recipe. I took a few out of the freezer to do a trial run and they were great! Thanks Becky...Love your channel.
I'm looking forward to seeing how all this goes down. I usually host Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can't say I meet my guest "fresh", so I'm looking for tips.
I have done as much precooking as possible so I am not crazy on the holiday also. I usually start a couple days before and knock as much as possible out before the madness starts. For Christmas we started celebrating on Christmas Eve and that way I was able to completely enjoy Christmas with my children instead of cooking and trying to get everything done on that day
Everything I want to say everyone has already said it! I’m sure we all can say we want to see more of your cool, organized , intelligent, kind, and beautiful smiling mother in more of your videos. This was a wonderful video to teach us how to take the stress out of the holidays Becky. Thank you for the helpful tips!
I hope to be like your mum when my kids grow up, they are still babies, but I love that shes so catering friendly to her whole family even down to doing it a week early!
I have a printed list for tomorrow as I am shopping for our small local food aid christmas boxes. Shopping for 60 christmas dinners and boxing day ...... I think it will be almost as much as Becky & Mum bought ! LOL, Our local supermarket is 25 miles away, and it is a big trip. We will be repeating this over the next 3x sundays as our supermarket has a lovely community involvement officer who is giving us a discount. At the same time we are also fund raising! Last year by the time we had done all that - for about 2x the number of families we slept through Christmas and didnt really have anything special. This year we have already bought our Christmas dinner already prepared by some wonderful chefs, and delivered deep frozen. So we will be following Becky and her lead on frozen dinners, just not home made. Xx
i saw a meme that said being in your 30’s is having all your clothes come from a store that also sells tires .. so true!! love clothes from sam’s/costco!
This was incredible! I absolutely LOVED your mom’s shopping list! If you would be willing to share that as a printable, that would be fantastic! It would be super helpful 😊 Would also love to see a thanksgiving meal prep, but I know that can be difficult in the moment, so I won’t push!😄 I love your channel, and I love your fire to get things done, and I certainly see where it comes from with your mom! You guys are powerhouses! 😄 Have a wonderful and safe thanksgiving! 🥰
Because of your yeast roll video, Becky, I'm prepping those tomorrow to freeze then thaw before going to my sister's to help her with dinner for our side of the family 👍
Becky your knowledge is beyond my 56 years on this earth,I love your channel ,just made my first batch of home cranberry sauce ,watch you organize your food storage the other night ,I’m getting our garden better in shape ,watching labels checked out some of the places you shop online,it’s a beautiful thing ,magical watching you do your thing ,I see your Mother has a great personality, Say hell👋 for me she’s so precise with her shopping skill.keep up the good work
You’re mom is so sweet. Wanting to include everyone. By chance would she be willing to share her gf pie crust recipe? In the past five years I’ve somehow gained a ton of allergies and have yet to find a pie crust recipe. Thanks dear. Love your videos and your mom too 🥰
I confess, I buy them frozen. When I’ve tried to make them they end up crumbling. I changed the plans, found a pumpkins chocolate chip muffin recipe that works. Will melt some allergen chocolate and drizzle on top to turn them into cupcakes! Susan, Becky’s mom
An easy cool whip alternative is place two cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, scoop out the coconut that’s on top, add some sugar, vanilla and mix and it’s just as good as dairy cool whip.
We have dairy free coconut whipping cream here in Canada. Not sure if you have it there, but it accommodates celiac & dairy allergies. Everyone likes it better than regular whipped cream! One brand also sells it in a pressurized can. Another tip for gravy is to mix some rice flour to thicken…adds a lovely nutty flavour instead of cornstarch which can make gravy weirdly sweet if you use too much.
Your mom reminds me of my beautiful mother! I couldn't put my finger on it at first, but then she started speaking about the blessings she receives through hospitality and caring for others.
I enjoyed watching this video! Your mom is a gem 💎! How kind and thoughtful to pay attention to allergies, preferences, work schedules, and other holiday obligations. You are both truly inspiring 🌟
This is amazing! Early in my relationship with my now-husband, his family always went "down-home to grandma's house" I was able to experience that for a couple of years, Grandma, Grandpa, all the aunts, uncles, cousins, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, etc. The house was full, smelled so good, people on top of people, it was loud with stories, laughter, and smoke (LOL-it was the early 80's). Then we lost Grandpa and Grandma moved up to live near her daughter and everyone had their own holiday. Enjoy this while you can, that first year we thought thank goodness we didn't have to make that 3-hour drive just to drive 3 hours back exhausted and full, by early afternoon we realized just how lucky we were. Grandma passed shortly after and the whole family was never together in the same house again. Even now I can hear the racket and remember stepping outside in the cold so I could think for a min because of the chaos, it was a short moment in time few get to experience nowadays.
Your mum is absolutely lovely, I really like her list idea and have downloaded this to go on my fridge so that we can be more organised. Thank you for all your beautiful content x
Wow, your mother's like me. I love to have folks over for holidays or any time. The more the merrier. Hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love from SC!
So helpful to me to see how you and your mom plan and organize, work together and make ahead. I find it all overwhelming, so this is great information for me. Thank you!
My mom taught me to make my shopping list the exact same way organizing it with my rout through the store. It saves so much time. That list looks identical to hers 😂
Yes, then my stupid store "reorganized" to make things as confusing as possible so we have to go down more aisles to see where everything is now hidden! Aarggh.
I love how you spend such quality time with your mom and in laws!!❤️❤️❤️ I miss those days with my mother it's been 20 years... always love watching you... you really know how to make the most of your days and life you are such a lovely young woman a real dynamo 💕🙏happy holidays to you and your family 😉
I'm watching this for the third time, as I'm trying to clean, purge, declutter. My mind is everywhere with the upcoming holiday, and as I'm unable to go shop, this is nice retail therapy/ hangout with a girlfriend and her Mom time. 🙂 Y'all are truly something special. Happy weekend & Thanksgiving. 💜
I’m a new sub and FINALLY someone that’s like me with cooking. JUST last night I FINALLY had enough saved to get a stove. The old one - the oven went 😳 so everything was a slow cooker or toaster oven and I’ve been in the kitchen ALL morning. I check my subscriptions here and there and I seen THIS and my sweetbreads better not burn 😁😂. Love that your channel came on the up next ♥️
You and your mom are so adorable. It truly is a blessing, such a wonderful gift to be welcomed and feel the warmth and love put into everything. Thank you for sharing.
My son is enrolled in SoCal food allergy institute and they treat kids for all food allergies. We live in WA and fly down every 2-3 months for the program. It has been life changing. May want to have your nephews parents look into it! #foodfreedom
Every time you post new video I feel the need to stop what I’m doing and watch it. You’re amazing! Also, I hope Gizmo gets better soon! Sending love ❤️
Reminds me of my mom and I. We do the cranberry juice/ ginger ale punch too. We always go over the menu together. When I was a little kid I was nick named " mommy's little helper"..... Still am!!!
@@Melshed I don't know how they do theirs but we fill our glasses one by one with some ice, about 1/3 way through with cranberry juice cocktail then the rest of the way with ginger ale.
I am vegan and I just wanted to say that they have a couple of pressurized vegan “whip creams“. One of them is almond-based but it’s actually really really delicious! “Reddi Whip almond”
Your mom is just delightful. You can tell she has a big heart and is a natural teacher like you are. Looking forward to all the Thanksgiving videos to come.
I love watching you guys party plans. I learn so much from it. The process sounds amazing. You are so blessed with a mom that has taught you how to host. Great job Susan.
I LOVE YOUR MOM'S GROCERY LIST. It makes way more sense to checkbox things you need as you go, instead of trying to think back and remember if you need something. Definitely stealing this idea. Thanks mom!
You can see why Becky turned out to be such a sweetheart!
My mom is the best!
Absolutely, I'd love to be adopted into this family even though I'm already 45.
Your mom at the end made me tear up. She’s probably my age or a little older but her wanting to help others reminds me so much of my mom who passed 15 years ago. She’s very sweet.
Oh J, I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Thank you Becky! She taught me how to be a wonderful wife and mom. And basically how to cook over the phone since we lived so far apart. We talked every day and the first words out of her mouth was, “what’s for dinner and how can I help?” She was truly a remarkable woman.
I wish we had a Winco here in Colorado. Never heard of it before your video. You and your mom are so cute. Happy Thanksgiving.
How fun shopping and planning Thanksgiving with your mom. My parents always host Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We all pitch in and bring dishes. I have been doing the turkey breasts for the past few years along with a few other dishes. For Christmas we do brunch, basically the same brunch menu for about 35 years. Often there is a new addition to our brunch, sometimes making it to the permanent menu and sometimes not. Mom makes a creole dish called sausage sauce picante. Basically a most delicious tomato gravy with big chunks of onion, green and red bell pepper, and smoked sausage in a tomato gravy. It is so delicious. My sister makes garlic cheese grits and I make a hot curried fruit. We always have sister shuberts yeast rolls and pigs in a blanket. Sometimes we have a breakfast casserole. And my dad makes the most delicious homemade English trifle, complete with homemade custard, whip cream, and other yummy goodness. I think what makes it even more special is we only serve these dishes on Christmas. Can’t wait to see your video of you and your mom working together to prepare all the dishes.
Hi J, I lost my mom when I was 16 and I'm 62 now and Becky's mom reminds me of my mom too. They were all brought up the same way, helping others and create a beautiful, loving party for all to enjoy.
Love your Mom's perspective on not forcing the holidays on the actual day. ❤❤
Why am I crying watching how beautiful your bond is with your mom.
Your mom has a true ministry of hospitality. Blessings to your family🥰
Ministry of hospitality- perfect description for Susan!

Dear Becky's mom - You have done a wonderful job raising Becky. She is loving, smart, caring and is an excellent wife, gardener, youtuber and person

Like Mom, Like Daughter😊
You both are amazing!

I have done as much precooking as possible so I am not crazy on the holiday also. I usually start a couple days before and knock as much as possible out before the madness starts.
For Christmas we started celebrating on Christmas Eve and that way I was able to completely enjoy Christmas with my children instead of cooking and trying to get everything done on that day
Everything I want to say everyone has already said it! I’m sure we all can say we want to see more of your cool, organized , intelligent, kind, and beautiful smiling mother in more of your videos. This was a wonderful video to teach us how to take the stress out of the holidays Becky. Thank you for the helpful tips!
Wow I love your Mom. Please thank her for sharing her tips. Love it!
Ms Susan, you are a brilliant woman and I’m going to borrow your brilliant idea. Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼💖
I hope to be like your mum when my kids grow up, they are still babies, but I love that shes so catering friendly to her whole family even down to doing it a week early!
Wow your mom inspired me to make a print out grocery list I’m definitely going to try her technique 🥰
I have a printed list for tomorrow as I am shopping for our small local food aid christmas boxes. Shopping for 60 christmas dinners and boxing day ...... I think it will be almost as much as Becky & Mum bought !
LOL,
Our local supermarket is 25 miles away, and it is a big trip. We will be repeating this over the next 3x sundays as our supermarket has a lovely community involvement officer who is giving us a discount. At the same time we are also fund raising! Last year by the time we had done all that - for about 2x the number of families we slept through Christmas and didnt really have anything special. This year we have already bought our Christmas dinner already prepared by some wonderful chefs, and delivered deep frozen. So we will be following Becky and her lead on frozen dinners, just not home made. Xx
@@lat1419 wonderful! 😃
i saw a meme that said being in your 30’s is having all your clothes come from a store that also sells tires .. so true!! love clothes from sam’s/costco!
This was incredible! I absolutely LOVED your mom’s shopping list! If you would be willing to share that as a printable, that would be fantastic! It would be super helpful 😊 Would also love to see a thanksgiving meal prep, but I know that can be difficult in the moment, so I won’t push!😄 I love your channel, and I love your fire to get things done, and I certainly see where it comes from with your mom! You guys are powerhouses! 😄 Have a wonderful and safe thanksgiving! 🥰
I see that you get your awesomeness from your mom! You are truly Blessed!
That grocery list organized by the rout 🤯 love it. I love that we all have a way to go through a store 😂 if I take any other rout I'm lost!
Say hello to your Mom and thank u both for the grocery list!!!
Love your mom, what a blessing! Everyone deserves a mom/ mother in law like her. Happy Thanksgiving
Because of your yeast roll video, Becky, I'm prepping those tomorrow to freeze then thaw before going to my sister's to help her with dinner for our side of the family 👍
Your mom is awesome, ik where you get that ❤❤
Hospitality is a fruit of the spirit. Very Biblical. Blessings to your mom!!!
Becky your knowledge is beyond my 56 years on this earth,I love your channel ,just made my first batch of home cranberry sauce ,watch you organize your food storage the other night ,I’m getting our garden better in shape ,watching labels checked out some of the places you shop online,it’s a beautiful thing ,magical watching you do your thing ,I see your Mother has a great personality, Say hell👋 for me she’s so precise with her shopping skill.keep up the good work
Hello is what I typed ,something else showed up,my apologies…..
You’re mom is so sweet. Wanting to include everyone. By chance would she be willing to share her gf pie crust recipe? In the past five years I’ve somehow gained a ton of allergies and have yet to find a pie crust recipe. Thanks dear. Love your videos and your mom too 🥰
I confess, I buy them frozen. When I’ve tried to make them they end up crumbling. I changed the plans, found a pumpkins chocolate chip muffin recipe that works. Will melt some allergen chocolate and drizzle on top to turn them into cupcakes! Susan, Becky’s mom
@@susanjones3177 thank you for taking the time to reply. It is greatly appreciated. I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season !
An easy cool whip alternative is place two cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight, scoop out the coconut that’s on top, add some sugar, vanilla and mix and it’s just as good as dairy cool whip.
And certainly with no preservatives it would be healthieer
I’ll have to try that! Thanks. Susan, Becky’s Mom.
You two together are a hoot!! You are blessed for having such a wonderful relationship with your mother!
Your mom is so precious. I just love your videos Becky. Ty
We have dairy free coconut whipping cream here in Canada. Not sure if you have it there, but it accommodates celiac & dairy allergies. Everyone likes it better than regular whipped cream! One brand also sells it in a pressurized can. Another tip for gravy is to mix some rice flour to thicken…adds a lovely nutty flavour instead of cornstarch which can make gravy weirdly sweet if you use too much.
Your mom reminds me of my beautiful mother! I couldn't put my finger on it at first, but then she started speaking about the blessings she receives through hospitality and caring for others.
Your mom is so thoughtful and organized!! I need to make a master list like hers to check off things when we run out. Love ❤️ your channel
The master shopping list is an amazing tip for sure.
Your mom is so sweet and selfless to free you up on the Holidays. It’s hard splitting between two families on holidays.
I enjoyed watching this video! Your mom is a gem 💎! How kind and thoughtful to pay attention to allergies, preferences, work schedules, and other holiday obligations. You are both truly inspiring 🌟
I live and die but that shopping list, it’s a game changer to have a bunch on a clip board hanging in my kitchen! Thanks sooo much!!!
I love when you spend time with your Mom. Love and prayers always have a blessed day ❤️❤️🙏🙏
This is amazing! Early in my relationship with my now-husband, his family always went "down-home to grandma's house" I was able to experience that for a couple of years, Grandma, Grandpa, all the aunts, uncles, cousins, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, etc. The house was full, smelled so good, people on top of people, it was loud with stories, laughter, and smoke (LOL-it was the early 80's). Then we lost Grandpa and Grandma moved up to live near her daughter and everyone had their own holiday. Enjoy this while you can, that first year we thought thank goodness we didn't have to make that 3-hour drive just to drive 3 hours back exhausted and full, by early afternoon we realized just how lucky we were. Grandma passed shortly after and the whole family was never together in the same house again. Even now I can hear the racket and remember stepping outside in the cold so I could think for a min because of the chaos, it was a short moment in time few get to experience nowadays.
Your mum is absolutely lovely, I really like her list idea and have downloaded this to go on my fridge so that we can be more organised. Thank you for all your beautiful content x
I love your Mom and her process it's very valuable information.
Wow, your mother's like me. I love to have folks over for holidays or any time. The more the merrier. Hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love from SC!
Love your mom! She’s a doll! Like mother, like daughter! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So helpful to me to see how you and your mom plan and organize, work together and make ahead. I find it all overwhelming, so this is great information for me. Thank you!
My mom taught me to make my shopping list the exact same way organizing it with my rout through the store. It saves so much time. That list looks identical to hers 😂
Yes, then my stupid store "reorganized" to make things as confusing as possible so we have to go down more aisles to see where everything is now hidden! Aarggh.
You are so lucky to have your mom. Thanks for sharing.
I love how you spend such quality time with your mom and in laws!!❤️❤️❤️ I miss those days with my mother it's been 20 years... always love watching you... you really know how to make the most of your days and life you are such a lovely young woman a real dynamo 💕🙏happy holidays to you and your family 😉
Same here. I wish I was half as organized as y'all! Sounds like it'll be a great day.
Every time I see your videos with your mom I tell my husband I wish I had a daughter that liked to cook with me, you both are so blessed 😇
I'm watching this for the third time, as I'm trying to clean, purge, declutter. My mind is everywhere with the upcoming holiday, and as I'm unable to go shop, this is nice retail therapy/ hangout with a girlfriend and her Mom time. 🙂 Y'all are truly something special. Happy weekend & Thanksgiving. 💜
The Broccoli Slaw is amazing with an ANY Spicy Asian dressing. I mean good! 🥦🥕😋
I’m a new sub and FINALLY someone that’s like me with cooking. JUST last night I FINALLY had enough saved to get a stove. The old one - the oven went 😳 so everything was a slow cooker or toaster oven and I’ve been in the kitchen ALL morning. I check my subscriptions here and there and I seen THIS and my sweetbreads better not burn 😁😂. Love that your channel came on the up next ♥️
You can make dairy free whipped cream out of coconut cream. Chill the can and whip with sugar,, vanilla, and cinnamon.
You and your mom are so adorable. It truly is a blessing, such a wonderful gift to be welcomed and feel the warmth and love put into everything. Thank you for sharing.
My son is enrolled in SoCal food allergy institute and they treat kids for all food allergies. We live in WA and fly down every 2-3 months for the program. It has been life changing. May want to have your nephews parents look into it! #foodfreedom
Every time you post new video I feel the need to stop what I’m doing and watch it. You’re amazing! Also, I hope Gizmo gets better soon! Sending love ❤️
I have been thinking of Gizmo too. I follow Becky on Instagram and haven’t seen an update yet. Poor little guy.
truth!!!! I stopped making my cherry pie just to sit and watch today! love it!!!!
Reminds me of my mom and I. We do the cranberry juice/ ginger ale punch too. We always go over the menu together. When I was a little kid I was nick named " mommy's little helper"..... Still am!!!
How do y’all make the cranberry ginger ale punch? Sounds so yummy 😋
@@Melshed I don't know how they do theirs but we fill our glasses one by one with some ice, about 1/3 way through with cranberry juice cocktail then the rest of the way with ginger ale.
I’ve never clicked a video so fast in my life 😌🤍
I am vegan and I just wanted to say that they have a couple of pressurized vegan “whip creams“. One of them is almond-based but it’s actually really really delicious! “Reddi Whip almond”
Your mom is just delightful. You can tell she has a big heart and is a natural teacher like you are. Looking forward to all the Thanksgiving videos to come.
Every home needs elder people like your Mom.... She is a sweet person n you are very much blessed in getting parents like them❤❤❤
This moments mom-doughter are the best!!!! Thank you both 😍
This mom and daughter video is so sweet.
I love watching you guys party plans. I learn so much from it. The process sounds amazing. You are so blessed with a mom that has taught you how to host. Great job Susan.
I see by your momma's wonderful organization skills that you are too- in every video. Fantastic! Love y'all!
I forgot to say, Happy Thanksgiving! Many blessings to you and the family.
I LOVE YOUR MOM'S GROCERY LIST. It makes way more sense to checkbox things you need as you go, instead of trying to think back and remember if you need something. Definitely stealing this idea. Thanks mom!
