    James is adorable!! Reminds me of my son at that age. Tell him if cooking is his passion keep it up!!! My son went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park,NY and is now a chef at a fine dining restaurant!! If you get a chance take James there for lunch and they will give him a tour!!!

    Looks fab. My recipe calls for a small amount of dry mustard. It really brings out the cheese flavour. Also I put a bit of parmesan over with light bread crumbs and drizzle with butter.

    To slice that many potatoes you need a mandoline slicer ..it would be so fast!! You need to be very careful, but it will save so much time! The slices would be even, and the thickness would be the same for all of them.

    It takes another pan, but if you heat your milk in your big pan and make you roux in a little pan adding it to your bug pan it will be quicker. Not as much stirring, less likely to burn. I enjoyed watching this.

    All I can really say is Josh the dad challenger podcast who I have watched every video about you he has made is right about everything he points out in his videos about you. Sorry but I honestly couldn’t disagree with anything g he said about you especially about using your kids to make money on utube.

    • @annettewalter2273
      @annettewalter2273 11 місяців тому

      I disagree with most of what he says. The money is in turn spent on the family so if it’s made in an honest way what does it matter. If the money was made for themselves alone but it is giving these children a loving wonderful life so I’m all for it.

    I've never seen ambrosia salad made that way! Very interesting and looks good. I use fruit cocktail and mandarin oranges with no juices, cool whip, marshmallows, and shredded Coconut!
    Also, you could make it without pinrapple by just buying cand of pears and Peaches and adding grapes and then the usual way you make it!

    Next time try adding about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of ground mustard in the Mac and cheese. It rounds out the flavor and it’s just amplified the Mac-n-cheese.
