Thank you Courtney! I love croquettes. I've made ones with mac and cheese before, but my favorite filling to use is chicken and ricotta. They're surprisingly easy to make! 😁
Years ago, my husband and I went to a Christmas dinner every year where they served Beef Wellington. It was so good! We had asparagus growing along our property line in the back yard. You break it off and it continues growing. We cooked it occasionally but weren’t crazy about it. Had several friends who were happy to pick it on a regular basis. Around the parameter of our house, we had rhubarb growing. With that also, we could use it a couple of times a year but all our friends were happy to pick as much as they wanted.
Hmmm ,i just had a sandwich for tea and i`m hungry watching this!:LOL As someone who doesn`t really have a sweet tooth ,that pudding looks amazing !:) Merry Christmas to you both ,and to Courtney xoxo
I wouldn't order the whole meal because of the price but I would order things that would take the most time to make or never made before like the Prime rib, beef wellington, turkey, mac and cheese, or lasagna but then make my own string beans, and mashed potatoes, etc. Especially if you have a favorite recipe for a dish you make all the time. This way you're not trying to make the entire meal yourself but also and can relax a bit if hosting the meal without worrying if everything will be done on time. You can prepare your own dishes before even picking up your order from Whole Foods and then reheat them before everyone arrives.
When my beutiful momma died we did a lot.of meals for my daddy that he could juat heat up. It was comforting to know he was getting a nice meal and eating. I love that these options are available especially this time.of year whn some are lonely and missing loved ones
This is a lovely idea! Love your reviews, as always! Have you considered doing a video on your Christmas holiday meals/desserts for next week? Any new recipes you are going to try? Perhaps a brownie based dessert dish?
The vlog videos that come out on Mondays is where I show all the food we are making. It’s in the vlog the week after whatever holiday has just passed. So, Thanksgiving food was in the December 2nd vlog. Christmas food will be in the December 30th vlog. We have been reviewing so much, I haven’t had the chance to bake anything new.
Thanks Courtney! I can’t believe how generous you are! My favorite items in this meal are the Mac and cheese bites and the chocolate Yule log! I would try the beef Wellington if it was well done. I can’t eat meat that is red inside. Otherwise, a nice holiday meal option!
Yes Tami, I hate my food touching too!! My dad and I are polar opposites for our Thanksgiving plates lol. I also don't love mashed potato texture, but a rough mash is okay for me. I don't like when they're like whipped and fluffy lol.
Before you even mentioned the possibility of buying it all ala carte, I had already left the video to call WFM to ask if I could buy one piece of Beef Wellington, it looked so nice. I was told no, that you must buy it in packs of 4 only but you could do that. It is $109.99 and you can only buy it online and then pick up. It is on their site under catering-Christmas-Ala carte. I looked and sure enough it looks like all the parts of your dinner are there but must be bought online only, not in stores. And he said if any Beef Wellington is left after Xmas, they would cut it up and put it on the hot bar!
Wow how wonderful of Courtesy, again😀. Each of these elements sound great to me and this whole meal sounds really good. The only part I could pass on are the Mac and cheese bites. I love the way the asparagus turned out, they’re exactly how I like them. Well done for eating the mashed potatoes, know you’re not a fan normally. The beef wellington looks like it was cooked to perfection. Thanks for the review.
Hi Tammy and Kevin I didn’t know that Whole Foods offers all these different varieties of food everything looked delicious and they had dessert was so good I wish I could try it and thank you so much to Courtney she is so generous and thoughtful and it was definitely an interesting video I loved it happy holidays to you and your family
Courtney coming through again, she truly is a blessing not only to you guys but also to all of us for giving you guys and by default all of us the chance to experience so many different brands and foods. I'm an absolute sucker for a Yule log it's my favourite Christmas dessert! Tami I'll have to send you on Instagram the absolute gems of Yule logs I have for both Christmas day and new years 😋
@TamiDunn America needs to get on the Yule log train like we do in Europe, we have so many different kinds, I have to pace myself or I'd buy them all 😂
Thank you Courtney!

I always get the Bob evans mashed potatoes like that
When I saw the thumbnail I thought O boy! Courtney did it again.i couldn't click fast enough.!😅

I agree! It’s wonderful of you to share this 😊
Love the thumbnail 🎉
Taco Bell Chicken Nuggets!!
I make Beef Wellington for special occasions! It's one of my favorites.
Is it time consuming to make?
@TamiDunn not really. I had to buy a food processor to make the mushrooms a lot quicker. I also use store bought puff pastry sheets.
So glad it turned out okay! I was laughing when you had the asparagus but i thought it would be a new experience. The entire price was 270
Thank you Courtney! These are great ideas for families that can’t prep and prepare a meal or for those who just don’t want to
Its a great concept for some people! Nothing beats a homemade meal tho but these are great alternatives!
I think this would be a great gift to order for your elderly family or friends who can no longer do the heavy cooking.
Walmart has a Chef Ramsey Beef Wellington
There is nothing there I wouldn’t eat! Too bad Whole Foods is not that close to me!
We are fortunate to have one!
This is a lovely idea! Love your reviews, as always!

You guys are fun! I wish I had friends and neighbors like you all! Thank you for the shows!
Thank you so much!
Love the thumbnail! What an awesome gift! It’s awesome you can order a holiday meal from Whole Foods! Courtney you are a gift! 🎁 Great review.
Thank you! I think it’s great too!

I'm with you I want my meat well done

I love it that you always tell it like it is. if the food is good, you say it"s good and if it"s bad it"s bad.
Thank you 💗💗
How fabulous is this ❤❤
👏 Courtney 👍🥂
