Hi Mel! I missed you last week but I'm so glad you took a little time off. You certainly deserve it. You know you're speaking my language with crock pot meals. Nothing more comforting on a cold day to have a meal cooking all day and having the house smelling good. So cozy! These all look absolutely delicious and I'm looking forward to trying all of them. Thank you, Mel for all of your hard work and all that you do. I hope you and your family have a blessed and beautiful week. 💕
Thank YOU Ms Mary for being such a dear and kind friend. And I don't know if I deserved it but I sure took advantage of some time off LOL I hope you stay cozy and warm and enjoy some down time with these crockpot meals, too. Thank you so much for being here!
@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel - Just for your future reference, the Mirepoix mix of onions, celery, & green bell peppers is pronounced "meer pwah", & is usually the base for all cajun & creole foods. Hope that helps. My late husband was a chef, & we'd spent many years in the restaurant business, working side by side. I love your videos Mel. Now that I'm alone & no longer working, it's so nice having some "company" on Sundays. All the best to you, Patrick, & the rest of your family. God bless you all. 🙏😊
I just prepped all the ingredients for the creamy chicken noodle soup for my husband to put in the crockpot tomorrow. Then I come on UA-cam and see you making the same thing. LOL
LOL Great minds are thinking alike today! You will be so happy when you come home to it tomorrow evening, it's very comforting and like I said in the video, pretty healthy too. Enjoy and thanks so much for watching!
Happy Sunday Evening, Mel! Thank you so much for the crock pot recipes. Sure is a good time of year for these. It's been so cold here in the North East! I appreciate your hard work putting all of these tasty recipes together. Looking forward to trying them all! Have a good week!
Thank you for your kind words, I am so glad you found something you'd like to try! Stay warm and cozy tonight - it's cold here in East Tennessee and we actually got a couple inches of snow and it's stuck around.
Oh honey, those crescents are the things dreams are made of LOL And they are HUGE! Thanks for the well wishes, we are on the mend around here - one day at a time sweet Jesus. Thanks for being here and hope you have a wonderful week too, stay warm and cozy!
Hello Mama Mel, Crock pots meals are always my favorites.Everything looked good, thanks for sharing.I am going to try and make the copy cat soup from Olive garden,and i hope that it comes out okay.Yall be blessed and have a wonderful upcoming week,and keep the people in California in prayer,and y'all stay warm.❤❤❤
I'm sure it will be delicious, let me know how it turns out! I've only made their gnocchi soup but I've seen copy cats of all their soups on UA-cam. I hope and pray that you guys have a wonderful week too and we are sure keeping the folks in CA in our prayers for sure.
@ I am! Hoping to get to relax a bit this week after the last couple weeks, but we have to prep the critters for the super cold front coming next week. 😭 How are you and your husband holding up? 🫶🏼
These meals are great, thank you for the ideas! I also have been going through the fridge, freezer, and cupboard using up parts of packages of various foods since the holidays….good time to use up stuff and not run to the grocery store so much for a couple weeks or so.
Exactly, I love to do that right after the holidays. Something about January clicks on that part of my brain that says, use it up, clean it up, or move it out LOL
Aren't they products just so delicious, and it amazes me how they bake up from frozen and taste just like they came from a bakery. Did you get any of the apple cider donuts this fall, I still have 2 precious little donuts stashed back in the freezer for a rainy day LOL Thanks so much for watching and hope you have a wonderful week!
I've never had this method of making them fail me, and I'm so bad to over cook pork chops when I bake and especially fry them. But this crockpot method with the gravy comes out falling apart perfect every single time. I can't wait for you to make them, let me know how you like em and thanks for watching.
Thank you for more wonderful recipes for my crockpot. I live alone, and so many of your recipes work out great for me to have great meals, and without a lot of expense or work. God bless you 🙏 ❤
Thank you for spme truly amazing crockpot meals. You are an amazing cook and you sre blessed to have the the wonderful family that you have. Thank you again for sharing. Love you my friend ❤
Welcome back Mel... I live about 2 hrs away from you and we got some snow and I've been snuggled up in fuzzy blanket ever since, lol . waiting to see notification you posted ..Have a blessed week.
Were you doing a voice over video? It sounded different. Girl, those pork chops look so delicious! Thanks for the recipes! I’m so hungry now for pork chops! Gotta make these!
Some of it was voiced over since I took the meals to my in-laws to finish the final plating. It's been crazy around here, I just cook and carry LOL Crockpot meals on wheels this week 😂
❤❤❤ We decided to do Christmas from crockpots when my side got together... between my sister and myself, we had 4... then my nieces each brought one... 7 altogether! 😂 ( I actually had given each niece 1 of mine as they moved out/went to college.) My other sister told us that next year she's bringing her dessert in crocks!
@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel when we remodeled our kitchen, I asked the electrician to give me a bank of outlets behind the counter for up to 10 crocks. Then explained that my family often does day long gettothers and we "graze" from crock pots, veggie trays, and cheese / cracker trays... playing board games. He thought it was awesome. When he told his wife, she asked him to do the same in their kitchen! 🤣
Once again, everything looks so good. I got so tickled in the first recipe when you said you only had a swaller of heavy cream...lol. I don't know how many times I have been ask how much a swaller is...lol. Only great cooks know!! LOL! And it is a swaller, not a swallow...lol. Do you have snow?? We sure do, and ice. Hope ya'll have a great week ahead and God bless!
That's right it's a swaller and it depends on what it is as to how much the swaller is. Like if I ask for a swaller of tea, it's more than what I had left in that cream container LOL And we DID get snow and some ice - it's still hanging around too. Stay warm and cozy!
I got that ninja cooker for Christmas! I also have the original one I got probably 15 years ago. We put it in the basement for a backup. I also got a 7 qt crockpot for thanksgiving. Seems like all the kids were moving away so we tried downsizing but they’re all moving back closer to home so we’re going big again. Everything looked delicious! Have a great week!
Swaller. I love you girl. Having grown up in Claiborne Co that’s my kinda talkin’. I so wanna try Wild Grain it’s just a bit out of my budget at the moment. But it looks so yummy. Everything looked so yummy! I pray your family is doing better. Hugs.
Welcome back, Aunt Mel. Missed you last Sunday. Hope y'all are doing well this lovely evening. We're doing okay. Please continue to pray for us. Hubby is starting therapy this week on his shoulder and I'm starting a new Crohn's medication. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
Hi Mrs Alma! I will definitely keep you and your hubby in my prayers. Hope you are having a nice weekend. We finally got snow last week!! Haven't had a measurable snow in a few years. Made me so happy. I think it's beautiful. And it's been cold so not much melting. I hope you have a blessed and beautiful week. 💙🙏💙
@marylawman8603 hey sweet friend. We appreciate all of the prayers from our friends who live in our phones. Lol. We're doing good, just relaxing. We got snow, too. We got 4 inches of snow on Friday. Friday was my mother-in-laws heaven day. She's been gone 7 years. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening and week ahead.
Hello Mrs Alma, How are y'all doing tonight? We have been praying for y'all. How's your hubby doing?We was glad that he did good during the surgery,we didn't get any snow just rain and cold.I hope the new medication helps you.Oscar says hello. Y'all be blessed and enjoy y'alls night and have a wonderful week ahead.❤❤❤
@@lulamcrae2851 hey Lula and Oscar. We're doing good, just relaxing. We appreciate all of the prayers. We're continuing to pray for y'all, too. He's doing good, in some pain. Oh that stinks, I'll send you some of ours. Thank you, us too. We're praying it does what my GI doctor wants it to do. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening and week ahead.
I missed you too and I'm so happy to be back and hear that your hubby came through his surgery well and is starting therapy quickly - now the real work begins, but it's worth it! And I am really happy to hear that your insurance is paying for the new meds and I'm praying that they work as needed. All of us here love and care about you and are always thinking of you and your family and remembering you in our prayers. Have a great week, stay warm and cozy!
That would be pretty awesome wouldn't it?! I think I will contact them, but it really was my fault - I store them in a low cabinet and I was just dragging it out and one of the little rubber nubby things just broke off. Patrick tried to glue it back but just wouldn't stay put. But hey it's worth a try because I love Old Red.
@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel i gave my crock pot to my step son when he went to college last year.... boy have i missed it! I even asked him over the holiday if he ever used it, (if he had said no, I was going to tell him to bring it back to me, lol) WEEELLLL, That boy USES IT!! He puts his deer meat in it before class and by the time he gets back to his apartment, his dinner is done!! Kills his meat AND cooks it!! He's gonna be a keeper for one lucky young lady someday!!! So proud!!! Guess I need to invest in another one!
This video was kindly sponsored by Wildgrain, I love their bake from frozen breads and treats! And I took last week off after the holidays to spend some time with my family. Thanks so much for watching, have a great week!

The slow cooker pork chops and gravy is so good, since I seen your recipe a while ago for this dish, it's in my meal rotation.
I love to hear that it’s made its way into your meal rotation! It’s a winner for sure, isn’t it?
Everything looks so good, especially the Mac n cheese.
I hope your family is feeling better
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! We are getting there friend, and that mac and cheese was heavenly 😋

@CCs.Kitchen I understand that. We're doing good, just relaxing. He starts therapy tomorrow and I get my new Crohn's medication this week.
As always everything looks delicious. I can’t wait to try the pork chops! Have a blessed week!
You're going to love them! They are so simple and hearty. And versatile, any size chops work for it, bone in or out, too! Hope you love it!
Love the pork chop recipe. I have the same little black crockpot, and I love it. Perfect size, not complicated, and does the job.
Exactly how I feel about it, too! It's the perfect size for a family of 2-4, I think!
💖 I look so forward to your videos & all the yummy-ness 😋 😋 😋.
Aw, that makes me so happy! 🥰 I love sharing and I hope you enjoy some easy and cozy crockpot meals this week! Thanks so much for being here.

Great recipes thank you for sharing.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them, thanks for watching.
I accidentally killed my crockpot the other day, so I might just get one of the 4 quart size to try out these recipes. They look so good!
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! A 4-quart is a great size to start with.
I'm so glad you're back! I hope you and your family are feeling much better by now. We love you ❤❤❤

Mel, it’s pronounced “meer-pwa.” Don’t worry….I had to google it. 😂
I could hear it said correctly in my mind, but that "POIX" on the end just has to come out when I pronounce it 😂
@ I’d never even heard of it until recently. You do better than I ever could. Enjoyed your video. Hope everyone is well soon.
Mel is this sponsered and have you been edting also surprised that you didn't do last Sudayat Seven will you do a haul soon
