My stepmother made the celery with cream cheese and crushed pineapple.

Miss Lori, you could put that mushroom filling in a zipper bag while it is still room temperature, cut off the tip and fill your mushrooms. Then refrigerate your filled mushrooms. After 45 minutes or so then you could bake them. They all look fabulous.

I confess, appetizers are my favorite too! I stopped buying soft cream cheese a while ago. I now use my beaters and mix 3-5 tablespoons of whole milk, half and half or heavy cream. Add one at a time until you get the right consistency. So much cheaper and it really works!!!

I would really appreciate if you do the 4 dip appetizer along with the chicken wings, yes!

Love stuffed celery, but I must remove the celery strings.

Definitely plan on making Itl. Sausage mushrooms. My nephew stopped at my house today. He was telling me about sausage/mushrooms that he had bought at a locally owned store that they make so I am going to make these for him

I love cream cheese and celery!

My kids liked “ants on a log”, peanut butter topped with raisins on celery. The version I like is cream cheese topped with dried cranberries on celery. 😁

I love appetizers!

To this day when I go out to eat ( which is not often) I just order appetizers and a salad. Talk about chicken wings I remember when you could go to the Butcher Shop and get the backs, necks, tails, hearts , they were called. Cat food bags and were free. Made some good soup out of those when times were tough

All three look yummy Lori…I had to chuckle when I saw the cream cheese stuffed celery…so simple but I love them…my mom would always make them on thanksgiving morning and that’s what we snacked on before the big dinner…fond memories…totally would love the spinach dip recipe and look forward to all your coming holiday recipes…thank you my friend for all your work…god bless xox

I love your videos! I wish there were video cameras/phones when my grandmother was alive. I’d love to see her make all the good recipes she made again and again! Thank you. Happy holidays!

My mom always used that jar old English cheese you get at holidays and some with peanut butter on celery. Blessings and much love

My grandma always had stuffed celery! I forgot ! We used a lot of olive pimento cheese. I think they quit selling it 👎🏼🥲

We make celery and Cheese whiz

Try mixing the sausage and biscuit mix together first, then add the cheese. It seems easier to get the biscuit mix incorporated into the meat without having to deal with the cheese. Then just mix the cheese and sausage mixture together.

Hello Lori & Dan. When my Mom was alive, she would do the cream cheese on celery and then sprinkled with paprika. Your sausage balls and stuffed mushrooms will be great to add to our holiday celebrations. Thanks for sharing with us. Be well.

I've been doing my meatballs/sausage balls in the air fryer, at 385* for 8-9 minutes. Don't crowd, so cook 1/2 at a time. Quick and yummy crowd pleaser!

Oh, for goodness sakes! When I was young, I worked in a kitchen and we made those stuffed mushrooms! Not once did I ever get to try one. Thank you ma'am for this beautiful memory and recipe.

I just ate a big bowl of chicken and dumplings and I am so full. I watched this and now I am hungry again. LOL! I love your videos.

Just wanted to thank you for writing that little cookbook. I recently bought it and I am loving it so much. Keep doing this Miss Lori. We love your recipes.

I always use a cookie scoop and roll them.

Yes I have had all of that on celery!

Thank you Ms Lori What a great idea .I used to cook every holiday dinner every year by myself Full course old fashioned cooking way to much food 10 to 12 pies and enough to send enough for another meal with a pie for every family to take home Around 20 to 25 people I stopped about 5 years ago. But seeing your appitizors I could see those going along with a baked sliced rib roast ,ham ,turkey with a sliced cheese tray different rolls and breads g,for, few salads and simple sides with a couple good deserts Yummy and practical stress free.

Yes please on the spinach dip video! These appetizers are making me so hungry! Great idea to flash freeze them & finish them the day of the party. I love how calm you are when you cook. Thank you!

Please share more appetizer recipes! Every thing looks delicious tonight!

Everything looks amazing, except....the celery 🤢 crackers yes, no celery! If I could, I'd go to school, learn to film and edit, move to Arkansas and film you for free. Just so I could sample what you make! My goodness you have some good recipes. 💚 They all looked really good. I do the same with ground beef, if I buy 5# I'll fry it all up at once and put it in baggies. It makes it so much easier to throw a meal together when the meat browning step is already done.

I agree that every celebration needs appetizers! 💕 When we got married (44 years ago) I had a wonderful stuffed mushroom recipe...I lost it and still can't seem to get it just right. I know I added the stems to cream cheese and bacon, then topped them with a mixture of fresh finely chopped bread and parmesan cheese (maybe a drizzle of olive oil) and then baked. Still, I can't get them to taste the same so I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I should add some "Everything Bagel" mix, because I agree it tastes good on anything!

Loved the recipes. I make the celery with diced drained olives mixed with cream cheese. I’ll definitely try the Everything Bagel seasoning on top. The sausage ball recipe with the Red Lobster mix is another recipe I’ll try. I’ve never tried the mushroom recipe but definitely will. Your videos are so peaceful and enjoyable to watch.

Just a quick line to let everyoe know if you haven't ordered the cookbook from Mrs Lori be sure not to miss out. Our family is so grateful to be able to use real home recipes. Also just want to tell everyone there on the homeplace we are so blessed for knowing ya'll. Jeff & Ginger L.

This was a great video! Thanks for making our holiday prep a little easier!

Yes please do the 4 dips! These are all wonderful my family thinks I'm taking a cooking class ! I said no just following MS Lori!

Hey Ms. Lori! Thank you for these videos! I love holiday appetizers. Guilty of eating them for dinner…without any company!

Ms. Lori, you reminded me of how my Grandma, on holidays, always put out trays of celery stuffed with cream cheese and topped with Salad Elegance. As kids, we could eat as many as we liked because celery is a vegetable :)

Miss Lori, you can fancy the filling up and pipe the cream cheese in with a small star tip. Loved these recipes, thank you🎄🎄🎄

Give me appetizers or dips anyway! Going to a party tomorrow and bringing muffalatta skewers: alternate Genoa salami, provolone chunks, green olives,roasted red peppers,and French bread chunks. Repeat. Just before serving brush with olive oil and balsamic .

Yes! Would love to see the spinach dip! Love all your blogs!

Mmm.. I make sausage balls and stuffed mushrooms. I tend to put some celery and onion all minced in the mini-food processor in my sausage balls with some cheese and some bisquick. That cheese bread mix looks like a good thing to try this year. I swear I could eat a plate of those for dinner, I'm with Mr. Brown on that. I'd just as soon eat a bunch of different appetizers as I would a regular dinner anyway. The Chinese have Dim Sum and the Spanish have Tapas, we don't have a special name for it little plates of deliciousness. Snacks, I guess. I love 'em.

Yum! I got to go get some everything bagel seasoning!!!

I find part of the joy of appetizers is the MAKING of them -- so relaxing when one has time. My husband loves "bite sized" food - I make plates of steak bits and other appetizers sometimes for dinner. There's only the 2 of us so it's easy to make a supper. Add a glass of wine and we're set for the evening! Thanks much and love ya. (you remind me of my Aunt Edna from Mt. Vernon, Iowa, who, at 80 plus years of age, loved deep fried green beans dipped in mayo.) You would have LOVED her! Blessings - from Cheryl in Annandale, Minnesota (an Iowa raised, cow milking, baling hay from girl country girl.) :-) I turned 70 years young this past April and continue to enjoy family and friends. AND, you are family!!!!

I never thought of using the Red Lobster biscuit mix, and I forgot to buy Bisquick the last time I went grocery shopping. I also only have bulk turkey sausage, so I'm going to use the turkey sausage with the biscuit mix and shredded medium cheddar cheese and see how my sausage balls turn out. I never had sausage balls until I married my (now ex) 2nd husband and moved to Russellville, AR. That's also where I learned to like grits and turnip greens. My marriage didn't work out, but I did learn to love some new foods my mother would never have dreamed of cooking.

No Chicken wings here in the store.we love them.would love to see your dips.

Yes, please share your spinach dip. Thank you!

These look delicious!! Spinach dip!! Spinach dip!! ❤😊

I make sausage balls for Christmas Eve snacking every year. My family loves them. Thank you for the next level idea of using the Red Lobster mix. Im really excited to wow my family with this new version!! Much love :)

I learned to mix the cream cheese and peanut butter together and stuff the celery, it is really good! Here in Des Moines, Iowa we have a large Italian population. The Graziano family is famous for their Italian sausage, it is THE best! I bet Mr Brown loves when you make things like this, so he gets to help clean those plates.

I enjoy watching your videos you are patient thank you I would love to get one of your recipe books

When I make stuffed celery sticks, I use finely chopped green olives and walnuts mixed with cream cheese and a tiny bit of the olive juice , then stuff into the celery stick.

Love all your videos! Spinach dip, wings...anything you make is made with love!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!❤️🙏☕

I have always wanted to make stuffed mushrooms, this is going to be the one to try, yum! Thanks for sharing💛

The mushrooms are a must make yum

Can’t blame Mr Brown😎👍🏼THANKS FOR RECIPES

This reminded me so much of the appetizers I grew up with. Stuffed mushrooms (a bit simpler than this but still good), Fake Ramaki (pineapple and water chestnut wrapped in bacon, the real one has liver I think), Corned Beef rolls (Buddig corned beef spread with cream cheese, stacked then rolled and sliced into pin wheels -- crisis in my family when Buddig became hard to get for a while) and cauliflower, carrots, celery, pickles and olives served with Liptons Onion Dip. These were always the appetizers served at my parents Christmas Party. We haven't got together as a big group in a while for Christmas but when we do these days we add in some Spinach dip, Shrimp Cocktail, Devilled Eggs and Chili dip and we can feed the whole once a year crowd (I believe we're up to around 34 folks). Thankfully we can divvy up who brings what. The dips are the easiest while the shrimp, Ramaki and surprisingly the veggies/Onion dip can be the most expensive. We also try to keep amount of a serving smallish for the expensive stuff or divide it up between two families. We limit each group to only one gift per kid under 18 (currently only 3, can't wait until there is more) and ask those who can't afford to contribute to show up at whoever's house to clean before and after. It's a great chance to see family members you haven't seen in ages. We also do it at like 3 pm on a Saturday before Christmas and most folks pile in their cars and view the Christmas Lights around town on their way home (if we don't have too much snow). Thank you so much for the video -- I'm now remembering the smell of stuffed mushrooms and everything that is great about cream cheese!

Thank you for all your hard work Mrs. Lori. God bless y’all.

Omgoodness but that looks good. Talk about drooling 🤤 Yes, Yes, yes please show us the spinach dip. 💐💙

Love that Everything Bagel Seasoning

Thank you so much! These all look yummy and I want to try them. A simple thing mom used to make that was a big hit was rolling up a long chunk of pickle and cream cheese in those thin Buddig smoked beef slices. God bless you and your family and have a very blessed and Merry Christmas.👵🙏🎄💖🎄🌁⛄❄❄

I did this when the kids were older with Bisquick. I’d freeze then when they woke up over Christmas break and they could grab and bake when they wanted them. This would have been great to have even on busy school mornings. I mix hot and mild sausage.

This would be a perfect dinner for me

Adding 8oz cream cheese to the sausage balls are yummy 😋 too

Oh those look so yummy!! I also like to take crumbled blue cheese add a little milk until it become a consistency that’s spreadable , add some garlic powder, salt and pepper and fill celery sticks with it. I think those sausage balls will become a new thing for us Christmas morning!

Please do spinach dip recipe !!! Would love to see the one with 4 dips in one pan !!! Love your video’s !!!!

Please do the spinach dip,I am thanking you in advance for this recipe.

I have noticed that a lot of what USED to be poor folk food, because it was cheap is now considered "gourmet" That is because good cooks figured out how to fix those cheaper cuts and pieces to make them good. The word got out and now we often can't afford to buy them. All of these look amazing. God bless

Every time you cook it motivates me to cook too and exactly what you make! Love your videos. Thank You for all you do.

So excited to see the holiday recipes you have instore for us. It is exactly what I need. We traditionally do Christmas dinner but this year we are doing dessert trays, cheese boards, appetizers. All finger foods. My soon to be daughter (in law) asked if we could do that and add some games. It sounds like we are going to have alot of fun. Looking forward to blending traditions. These 3 are definitely on the menu. I love stuffed celery and can't wait to try it with everything bagel. That stuff is SO good!

Hi. Have you thought about placing your stuffing for your mushrooms in a ziplock bag and refrigerate the stuffing? After the hour, cut off a corner of the bag and squeeze the filling into the mushrooms! Less time and less mess.

I'd love to see that dip tray that feed alot of people anything I can do to take to all the parties we are invited to over the next to holidays

I'd love to see a video with the rolls and the dips. Sounds like something I could do for an upcoming party. Thanks for all your good videos.

I email myself all your recipes then write them out when I have time. My job on a holiday was always to fix celery stuffed with pimento cheese. These 3 I will definitely try. They all look yummy! ❤

We always make cream cheese in celery with halved green olives and pimentos. Yum! Love your ideas!

I would like to see a few different dips/spreads. It would be a nice addition to an appie party.

Lori I love to watch you cook and talk. Your accent and voice are so calming. Girl you got it going on! I’m definitely going to do the sausage rolls and stuff mushrooms. With Italian sausage 👌🏻of course😉 I’m Italian but American first. I Love your Channel, you and Mr Brown are fun together. Y’all Stay Safe God Bless✝️

Yes, please Ms Lori, would love to see the four dip sheet pan recipe. So enjoy watching your videos. Merry Christmas!

The way to a man’s heart is through his tummy 😊 my Grand mother would all ways say while teaching me to cook as I was growing up.

Ms Lori, please consider writing another cookbook but one of just your collection of appetizer recipes. 🎄 Merry Christmas, Mr & Mrs Brown 🤎

Sausage balls have always been a favorite in my family and I love Red Lobster biscuits. Can't believe I never thought of using that mix in sausage balls. Will definitely do that over the Christmas holiday.

These all look delicious! The idea of using the cheddar biscuit mix is brilliant! I love appetizers, too! Would love your spinach dip and wings recipe, too! Thanks for sharing with all of us. We love you!! ❤️ As always, prayers and blessings for you and your beautiful family!

I'm 68 and boy howdy the prices of things now blow me away! Recently, I wanted some smoked ham hocks for beans and I got so mad when I saw the price!! We are country people and sure do remember how we cooked real good real cheap!

Yummy❣️ I love your cookbook and videos. Be well and stay Covid free!!!

My grandma always made cream cheese stuffed celery at holiday meals. I didn’t care for them but seeing yours brought back good memories.

Lori, I could eat everything on the plate ♥️♥️♥️ it all looks delicious ♥️♥️♥️

Using a melon baller, or now days you see cookie dough scoops in several sizes too, is so fast to scoop out the balls and drop them on your sheet. Then just roll them all and they are the same size! So quick and easy! these you do look so yummy!!!! I love that cheddar biscuit mix!!

Yes Please, would love to see you do the other finger foods you were talking about!

Stuffed mushrooms and sauerkraut balls are my 2 favorite appetizers!! Of coarse, both have sausage and cream cheese in them, 2 of my favorite foods, lol. A dill sauce on the side is so good with the mushrooms. Thanks :)

Some wonderful ideas for appetizers! This year, I am baking a ham which we will probably slice for sandwiches, making our traditional raspberry pretzel salad, setting up a baked potato bar, and the rest will be an assortment of pies, cookies, quick breads, and finger foods. Anything I can make in advance is always appreciated. Thanks for the recipes!

You two are just the best. You have no idea how you bless my life with joy!

God Bless You as well! Great video! Thank You!

The everything bagel seasoning is great my daughter got me some and I have it on all vegetables raw or cooked it’s great I love the stuffed mushrooms and of course the sausage balls

You had me at the cream cheese and celery! My favorite.

I've never heard anyone with her accent , it's funny we moved to Fredericksburg Va from Woodbridge , I hadn't been around the southern accent before , now we're talking only 35 miles ! I said I'll never date anyone with the accent. That's been 54 yrs ago , now all of my relatives talk about my southern accent , I love it now !

Thank you!! 🤗 I've always wanted to make horsd'oeuvres but never knew where to start or what to do. Except for deviled eggs, I didn't know how to make any. These were easy, you made them look easy and delicious! I actually liked everything on that plate! 😋🤗

Ms. Lori…Do a cookbook on appetizers ! These look so good! I just added mushrooms to my on line order to make these! So thankful they can be frozen ahead of time❤️ hugs from south Alabama!

Anything is made better with cream cheese! Love the cream cheese filled celery. That would be great for Thanksgiving when the meal itself is so filling and high carb. This is low carb and won’t fill you up.

My husband would love appetizers every evening for dinner. He would like these.

Yummy!! Maybe we could use our cookie scoops for stuffing the mushrooms? Yes on the wings. Thank you for sharing Ms. Lori, all of your recipes are golden! :)

All of the appetizers look scrumptious, and seem easy to put together. I’d love to see your wings recipe.

What is not to love here? Mr. & Mrs. B., love you both!

You can mix well drained pineapple with nuts to stuff celery. Pimento cheese with hot sauce etc.

Got these all mixed up and rolled and flash froze them. Can't wait to bake and eat them for our Christmas gathering 🎄🎁
