A Southern Thanksgiving
Переглядів 54Місяць тому
Dodi cooked a southern Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people in South Carolina. We enjoyed eating with Vince’s family. Dodi cooked two 4.5 pound turkey breasts in the crockpot (we all like white meat!). They were delicious. We prepped the sides and pies the day before Thanksgiving. One tip is to use disposable trays and paper products for easy cleanup. Happy Thanksgiving!

First Spring Harvest - Zucchini Chips Recipe!
This waa so good. I made this evening w/ dutch processed cocoa. Can you substitute apple sauce for the butter?
I would love recipe for a regular round cake recipe.
I think you could try the applesauce but I would add a pinch of salt if you do. 🥰
I never used to like pecans, but as I've gotten older, I really have developed a taste for pecan pie.
Vince & the boys don’t care for it but I love it. The more sugar the better!
Brilliant tasting Alex 😋
He’s the best taster ever! 🥰
Thanks🥜
@FunwithAlexW you are most welcome x
Your potato and leek soup is much like mine 😃 Definitely a favorite ❤️ It’s so nice to see Alex’s interest in cooking with you Dodi! 🥰
Thanks, Irene! 🥰
Hi Dodi, soup looks delicious, but to see the pleasure your food gives to Alex is priceless. He so enjoys everything you cook. 😋❤️
He’s a great taste tester! 🥰
We make potato leek soup every Christmas Eve. We serve it with French Canadian tourtiere, which I'm sure you already know is a very savory pork pie. Its traditionally served with champagne or a very nice Viognier. I like your addition of paprika. I'm going to try that this year. Our immersion blender is a "BAMix" from Switzerland. We purchased it at the L.A. County Fair years ago for what we thought at the time was a ridiculously expensive price ($175 but I think we paid a little over $300 because we purchased the "Super Box") but the man said it was high quality and was meant to last a lifetime, and it has! I'm now going to try the nutmeg as well. That sounds AMAZING.
I've never heard of tourtiere, but a savory pork pie sounds right up my alley! I had a hand meat pie in Bolivia once & it was delicious, although I'm sure the spices were very different than yours.
I came for your recipe and am rewarded with a mouthwatering dish AND surprise...it looks like Alex is shooting up and will soon overtake you 😱💪 AND I agree with his assessment 😋😋😋😋
yum Dodi another recipe for me to try .Thanks for sharing😋😘
Thanks, Annette! I hope you enjoy it.

Can I come with you all next time??????
You would love it! Best bakery I’ve been in for a long time.
Have been to new Orleans a few years ago Loved the place thanks Dodi for sharing ❤
We didn’t quite make it to New Orleans but it certainly felt like it. Mardi Gras everywhere! 🥰
hmmmm, I don't know Alex, gummy mac & cheese doesn't really sound that good to me. Happy Birthday!
June, I’m not a fan either. 🤣🥰
Why do we not have a Ripley's Fun Zone here in L.A. I'd be there every weekend!!! It doesn't sound great, but I'd give the Mac & Cheese gummies a try. No Jose's Cantina? OMG, even with a rope attachment, my vertigo wouldn't let me do the rope course. How was the hard cider? Tell Alex it's a very good sign if it rains on your birthday. It's cleansing out all the negativity for the coming year. I love dinner and a show. AND, I love Bush's Beans. I had no idea they had a museum I love the commercials with the talking dog. And of course I want to see more videos like this!!! AND more recipes.
We have a year pass to all the Ripley’s attractions and have the best time! All the tastings were great!
@@thewilliamseswonderfulworld That area is so beautiful. If I lived there, I'd get a year pass as well.
Looked a lovely place to visit Dodi thankyou for sharing
Thank you, Annette! 🥰
Lots and Lots of presents for all Glad you had a lovely Christmas with all your family Dodi
Thank you, Annette! It’s chaotic but fun.
So glad to see your happy family enjoying their Christmas morning together! Makes me wish I could go back in time to have my grandparents and cousins all around me at Christmas! Simpler times…Happy New Year, Dodi! I hope 2025 will be a great year for you and all of your family. ❤️☃️❄️
Thank you, Rita!
Its so good spending time with the family. Wishing you all a healthy and happy New Year. ❤🏴
Thank you! Happy New Year!
lovely that you have all the family members to enjoy christmas 🥰
It’s loud but lots of fun. ❤
Was that guy wearing a tortilla? All that toothpaste, talk about subtle hints (hahaha). I love the goodies in all of your stockings. I need to find one of those pizza slice stackers. I thought your dad was going to save the wrapping paper. You all obviously had a wonderful Christmas. I also need that booty cleaner and standing light. Alex got a new game controller!!! I just got mine. WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Alex got a 3D printer before I did??????? I'm having a talk with Santa.
My cousin Cody has a tortilla blanket! 😂 Dad gets in trouble for complaining about all the trash each year. 😊I need a pizza slice saver too!
OH! Ho Ho!! All the excitement of Christmas morning in the William's grandparents' households!!🎄Glad all your stockings were full of goodies and that you got a Lamborghini, Dodi 😂 And Alex was definitely on everyone's nice list 🥰
My brother toured Lamborghini factory in Italy and brought me a “car” & shirt! Alex loved all of his gifts and his birthday is in 2 days! 🥰
Looks delicious!
It was tasty! 😋
Now that's a very yummy roast.....Happy New Year to all your family. Love from Scotland ❤️🏴🥳
Thank you! Happy New Year! 🎉
Delicious 😋 Happy New year to you and your family 🎉🎉
Thanks, Annette! Happy New Year!
Yummy the beef looked lovely and pink just right Dodi ❤❤🎉
It was tasty! 😋
yummy very juicy , happy new year you to all 🎉
Thank you, Kath! Happy New Year! 🥰
We did a prime rib as well!!! We also always have the bone removed and tied back on. We put lots of pepper on ours. Jim takes the bones off, seasons between, then ties them back on. Yours looks so good!!! We keep the bones and gnaw on them the next day. I really need to get an electric knife!!! Beautifully pink! Perfection. Oh, that Billy!!!
My brother Billy & his partner Eddie live in Nashville. They are hilarious! 🥰
@@thewilliamseswonderfulworld My nephew lives in Nashville. He's a sound engineer for performing artists.
Yummy.Merry Christmas !🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas! 🥰
Yummy, Dodi! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us! ❤️
Thank you, Rita! 🥰
Looks delicious Dodi! ❤
Thanks, Irene!
I'm now looking for those sour egg bites. I also like the ginger bread t-shirt. I'm really enjoying that cheese advent calendar. Just imagine when Alex is old enough to pair those with some fine wine. But lets not rush things. Lets get him through high school first. I actually got startled when that little elf moved his arms. I immediately flashed back to Karen Black in Trilogy of Terror. I actually made waffles this morning so I got excited for the waffle maker. I'm with Alex. I don't really like goat cheese, but I don't hate it. I like it on Greek food. And WHERE did you find a leg cast for Handy????? What is Zebra Cake? That was a fun Christmas!!!
Handy finds the most unusual things. I guess he has access to Santa’s storage unit. Zebra cakes are like Little Debbie’s cakes. Yummy!
Oh wow, that looks amazing!
It’s quite yummy!
they look so yummy 🤩 All the best x
This was such a joy for me to watch. We are the fudgeeeee queens….. 😂😂😂😂. ABBA moment. 😮😊. Thank you and a wonderful New Year for you and your amazing family ❤❤❤ love from the Château de Colombe.
Thanks, Patrick! I love your fudge recipes. So many good ones I need to try. Merry Christmas! 🎄
can't wait to try this recipe :)
Thank you! Its delicious!
YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I have to try this for Christmas. WAIT A MINUTE. Was that Hank Williams????
Ha! He’s no relation to us. 🤣🤣
@@thewilliamseswonderfulworld Well, there goes THAT inheritance.
I thought the same thing... It's Hank "Vince" Williams.
@ 🤣🥰
A nice bright tasty fudge Dodi thanks for sharing
Thanks, Annette! Merry Christmas! 🎄🥰
These look both delicious and fun to display on a holiday table. I'm making these for Christmas Eve!!!
They are fun and quite tasty!
Wow you are so clever 👏 Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year. 🎄🎅❤️XX
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
I love traditional family recipes. Thank you so much for sharing! Now, you don’t want clouds of powdered sugar all over your kitchen? Why? And no flour clouds? 🤣😉😂. I love you. Same here. 😊. And yes, the gel is a better colouring. I love how you estimate the length……. I thought I was alone. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎄
Patrick, I estimate everything! It’s difficult to write these recipes down with exact amounts. 🤪
I adore your Grandmother's recipe 🥰 The candy cane cookies look absolutely delicious 😋
Thank you! We love them and sometimes sprinkle sugar on them before baking. 🥰
Oh wow, a cheese advent calendar. That would definitely be my favourite. Merry Christmas to you all. Love from Scotland xx🎄🏴
The cheese is my favorite too!
@@thewilliamseswonderfulworld ❤️🎄
I wish I had grown up having Christmas at your house, I might have ended up well adjusted.
Aw thanks Peter! ❤
Thank you Dodi for sharing your sweet family.
Thanks June! ❤
Alex is one lucky boy with lots lof surprises and the elves who are very clever ❤
Thank you, Annette! The elves are entertaining!
You're Elves are much better behaved than those who visit my sister's house - they always create a mess 😅 Three Advent calenders - yeah! what fun!!!🎉🎉🎉 Alex did a great job finding the Elf every day and one day, I hope to hear him play the drums 🥁 Merry Christmas to you all 🎄
He is doing great learning percussion this year. He played the bells at his school concert. ❤
What a great idea. You are so clever. You always manage to invent really interesting fun for your boys..👏🎅❤️
Handy is the clever one! He always keeps us entertained.
@thewilliamseswonderfulworld 😉🎅❤️
Are those Pokemon Legos? I've been a Lego fan since I was a kid. Somewhere in storage I have the Lego space station monorail set. And even as an adult, when I go to Dia de Los Muertos in San Diego, I get the room with the huge copper tub and always take my Mr. Bubble. AND, I actually got myself an Advent Calendar this year and every night I'm enjoying a different chocolate. I couldn't locate a wine of the day advent. I really need to get myself a Lego advent for next year AND a cheese one. Of course, with the cheese advent, I would skip a week just to enjoy several at once. This was fun!!!
Hi Peter! It's Lego's competitor, MEGA blocks, but similar. We got the wine advent from Target this year as Aldi sold out too fast. Aldi had the cheese advent that we like, but Sam's usually has one as well. Happy advent! Enjoy your chocolates!
Alex, that was so fun. Thanks for taking me along and I'll be waiting to see the rest of Advent.
Stay tuned! They'll be coming soon. :)
Very festive,Dodi! Alex was concentrating so hard on his musical performance! Beautiful Christmas tree, also! Let me just send you down a little blast of frosty winter weather and it would be perfect!! ❤️😂🌬️❄️☃️
Rita, it got down in the 20s this week. Way too cold for us! Back to the 60s next week.
Alex looks like he stepped out of a Dicken's novel 🎩 And what a magical Christmans tree🎄🥰🥰🥰🥰
So many folks dress in Victorian costumes. It’s really a neat experience!
