I had a little tip I wanted to tell you when you made the chocolate oatmeal cookies. If you are using honey, peanut butter or anything sticky like that just spray your cup or spoon with a little Pam and it will slide right out.

After you peel back the label, hit the container sharply on the edge of your counter and it will open up easily. And those all look yummy!

So cute how your son stuck his face around the corner, he didn't want to miss out on the flavors. 🌼

Your husband is such a good sport and so supportive. You two definitely remind me of me and my husband. He always gives me a little review after I make new things. Glad your back...i definitely realized you were missing.

Bobs evans is so so so so good. They have so much flavor all by themselves. I promise you that’s what made those bites.

You know what made me laugh is when Steve said potato bomb ...hahaha a little crumb came flying out of his mouth!!! But he kept describing the food, but I cannot quit laughing, cuz yall make me happy and filled with joy especially with great bloopers!!!

Steven should go on the show “chopped” cos he says stuff like texture, hint, explosion etc. hahaha I really enjoy him. Lol. I love y’all bunches ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Mandy. Kim

I just found you and I'm so glad I did. You don't use hard to find products and make everything seem so easy. You are now my go-to cooking site.

I love your cooking vlogs and understand the need to take off.

Thanks for this! You did a beautiful job showing how to make the appetizers and your husband absolutely sold them to me. Sweet couple!

Reminds me of about 25 years ago when my granddaughter graduated and I made many different items for her party. I had forgotten this sort of recipe. I bought a package of 100 tiny frozen meatballs, put them in an old fashing electric pan that just heats food and then keeps it warm. I put in the meatballs, chili sauce, grape jelly, and smallest jar of mustard. Delicious. Thanks for the memory I needed it.

Mandy, I love that you use your leftover you have left in your frig for other needed meals your preparing. I do this too, guess I’m a frugal cook.

The hubby is right about chicken bacon ranch!!!! You can’t go wrong! Lol

Mandy, all 3 of these look awesome! We’ve got. 3 In our home too. It’s my husband Mike, our daughter Kelly (who just turned 40 this past Aug) & myself. Kelly has Down Syndrome & she loves party food & all of these are made with ingredients that she likes. She can be kind of picky sometimes. I think we will make these for New Years Day & we can snack on these for dinner. Thanks for the great recipes!

Loved these, can't wait to try them all. Little trick i learned from Paula Deen, peel the paper on the Cresent rolls and hit the container on the edge of your countertop, pops right open.

You are an inspiration to young families and all! We love it,thanks,God Bless.

Your blogs are so refreshing and such a blessing to watch. Thank you and God bless you both and your family

Great job Mandy,more Succesful Reciepes.Thankyou.

I love watching you guys! I have an easy appertizer that my mom made every Christmas eve(she's been gone 10 years). Cranberry meatballs. I use frozen homestyle meatballs (you can make your own) It's a jar of chili sauce and a can of jellied cranberry sauce (whole berry or not). Cook it in the crockpot on low 4 hours! It's super simple and delicous!

Glad to see you! We missed you! We understand family time and me time is a must!

Mandy, we went deer hunting for a week in our camper. I checked out some of your recipes and made them while we were camping. I made your pulled pork, with slaw; crock pot cherry pie dessert; creamy loaded potato soup, but I added 2 cups of shredded Velveeta cheese (wow!,) and my favorite crock pot chicken and noodles. The food was delicious and the hunt was a success. Our granddaughter got a deer and everyone loved your recipes. My husband is not a fan of pulled pork, but I think adding the beer to the recipe just really tenderized the meat and he loved it and asked if I would make it again. That’s the first time in 50 years that he has asked me to make pulled pork again. The sauce was absolutely delicious. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for making them! Debbie in Missouri💕💕

A trick to open your crescent rolls: remove outer wrapper, then tap tube on side of the counter until it pops open, less struggle and quicker to open!!

For the chicken bacon ranch appetizer, you could put the square of pastry dough into a small cupcake pan, fill it with the filling, sprinkle with more cheese, and lift the corners to make make them stand up, or fold the corners in towards the center. Bake according to recipe.

My family does Snack Night Saturday so I'll definitely be adding these to our menu.

Hey Mandy, nice to see you again. Don’t worry about taking some time off. Everyone needs some time for themselves and their family. Everything you made looks yummy. Thanks for sharing these recipes with all of us. God loves you and your sweet family. God bless you all.

All of these appetizers look Simply Amazing!! 😋😋Love 💞 the dish towel on the oven for Ms.Gracie 🎅🎅

Missed you sweet Mandy. Love watching your hubby taste test!

We do appetizers like this for football games on Saturdays and Sundays (no big gathering required).

Looks yummy. I like that your hub & son are so open to anything. Its refreshing. I also like when you use what you have & tweak the recipe. Thanks Mandy

Just tried the loaded potato bombs....WOW....what a hit!!! They were terrific.

I just love you guys! Bob Evans is my go to for small family. Thanks for the recipes.

I am making all of them for Superbowl Sunday!

Well you made me chuckle - never heard that before - "it pays to have four eyes". I'm gonna use it though. You're cute and you two make a great team. Love your vids!

Our go to meatball “sauce” recipe is meatballs, jar of bbq sauce and a small can of diced pineapple and cooked in slow cooker. So easy and delicious!

We missed you!!!!! Your the best and we know you and your family comes first after God 🤗💕 God bless y’all!

Everything looks so good Mandy! you've got to try meatballs with the chili sauce/cranberry sauce combo, omg so yummy!

I love your style of meals. I rarely make large meals. It is only me and my hubby. My husband works alot of long hours. Which means we eat our meals apart. So this type meal ideas are perfect for us.

I am SO glad you took time off. We all need to reset our buttons. Thank you for sharing your recipes other people's recipes and your lovely family. God Bless You all.

If I saw those at a get-together I would be sooo happy. Yum!

Bob evans mashed potatoes are wonderful- I like the garlic ones

I try more of your recipes than any other vlog I watch! Always something fairly easy to make and always good. Thanks for the great content!🙋

Oh, oh! They look so good! I’ve a party in to weeks! Know what I’m taking❣️😉

Love these recipes! What a sweet family you have. 💜

I just love y’all! You and your hubs are so sweet. Great content also!

Watching you plate up the appetizers on Steven's plate, I am salivating. Looks wonderfu.

I loved your grands biscuit bought the goodies and going to make the apple pan cake and eggs bacon and cheese,,,you go little gal !

I sways use kielbasa. Grape jelly and chili sauce. I slice my kielbasa into disc's and fry to get some great slice dark then mix jelly and chili sauce. Even done this camping! HUGE HIT. DONT NEED A CROCK POT.

I am only sorry that i haven't found you sooner! I am really impressed with the simple and down to earth recipes,thanks Mandy!

My dad did bacon and green olives every New Years, Miss you Dad!

Can't wait to try these. I did once see a lady who did bbq meatballs on the stove instead of the crock pot so the sauce could thicken and stick to the meat. Made sense. But everything looks amazing.

Hey everybody needs a break.Welcome back and tfs. lm doing well

So happy to see you and the family! Everything looked amazing, I've got to try all three.❤🙏

Those appetizers look so good. I love the zoom in on Cole🤣

Hey Mandy, try using peach preserves and BBQ sauce for yummy sweet and sour meatballs. My family loves them so much.

I love using crock pot liners they make things easier an clean up is a breeze.

I love the Bob Evans taters!!!! They are delicious and so easy for a quick dinner with Salisbury steak during the week! And bacon 🥓 in the oven is so easy and if you keep your bacon grease it’s easy to pour into a container! Looking forward to trying these! Thank you for sharing 🥰

One thing I made at Christmas is chocolate oatmeal cookies. My grandmama made them and my mama made them. I waited until Christmas because they set better when it’s cold. I have also made the chocolate without oatmeal and used it to ice a cake. It’s delicious.

I can’t wait to start making these. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!!! I have never made meatballs or kielbasa using that sauce. I am intrigued. Go you!!! ❤❤

Love how during the beginning of the bombs there was a bit of snort before starting the recipe... that’s how you know you’re having fun while working with all the right elements...aka. Steven involved! So cute 😂

Missed you, but soo glad you took time off for yourself. You know we'll always be here for you!!! Definitely be making these for a party!! Thanks for sharing!!

Those appetizers looked delicious. Looking forward to more of your recipes.

Everything looked delicious!!! Gonna make all three. Thank you for sharing.

These look good and I definitely plan to try them. An appetizer you might want to try is sausage/cheese cups or squares. Brown 1 lb of good ground sausage, drain. Add 1/2 cup of ranch dressing and 1/2 cup of cheese (I use whatever cheese I have, usually cheddar). To make cups, put a heaping tablespoon of sausage mixture in mini filo cups, top with more cheese. Cook a few minutes to melt cheese. To make the squares, roll out crescents rolls and put in a 9x13 pan (seal perforations). Cook for about 6 or 7 minutes. Then spread the sausage mixture on the partially cooked crescent rolls and top with another pkg. of crescent rolls (seal the perforations). Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Delicious!

Here you go! I lived in Worcester England at one time.wuss tah sha. A very few people will use wuss tah sheer but the first one is the most popular and most used.

To get even cuts on your dough…..make your first cut down the middle then your next two cuts down the middle of each of those sections and so on… really works great

I'll be making the mashed potato boom this weekend Thank you Mandy. 😊

I LOVE YOUR LITTLE SNORT!!!!!!! I was having a really bad day and you made me laugh out loud LOL~~~~ Love you two Merry Christmas

Love your music! Very festive! Love you guys!

Yum! Thanks for sharing your recipes!

All of them look delicious! I use the Bob Evans potatoes all the time and we love them! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try these. Missed you but glad you took some time off for yourself. Well deserved! Hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sending you hugs 🤗

Since it is just me and my husband now and he isn't a big fan of potatoes all I use is Bob Evans mashed potatoes they taste like homemade. I just put a few pats of butter on the hot potatoes and they are delicious.

I wold love to see a video of your top cooking utensils, pots, pans and gadgets. With the holidays around I need ideas ❤❤❤ thank you 🙂

I loved it when Cole peeked in. He had the sweetest little grin. All of these look so good. Going to try for sure! Thank you!!

I have been doing the meat balls in grape jelly and cocktail sauce for years very good and crowd pleaser

Yum! I can’t wait to try these Mandy, TFS!

Try subbing either apricot preserves or orange marmalade for the grape jelly on your meatballs. Yummy.

Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with a lot of blessings and love with your family. I feel like I need some time off right now. You inspire me to do just that for myself.

Great ideas! I can't wait to make them!! Thank you!

Loved your videos and Biscuit recipes....Thanks Sharon

You are such a good cook, thank you for some great ideas

You are the one who convinced me to get those mashed potatoes and I LOVE THEM lol

When we celebrate Christmas with my husband’s family, we always have appetizers for our Christmas meal. It’s always yummy! These look so good!

I have a couple of those metal stand crockery holders. I never use them. Thank you Julie! Repurpose here I come!🤗

Year's ago my best friend since four grade told me his Sister made these appetizers made with small homemade meatballs made with Chili sauce and grape jelly...I was like YUCK! That is until I ate about 15 of them.....AWESOME!

Tortoise shell specs!!!! Great ideas!

I love those Bob Evans potatoes. I do homemade, but when I don't feel like peeling etc, it's my go-to.

Can't wait to try these!!
