Girl, I can't tell you how much your vids help me and my household. As a 40 year old mother of special needs kids trying to get by day to day with my own special needs, cooking can be a real challenge. But your videos help me with that. I look up to you and your fam as I am trying to run a household in Faith as well. Thank you for all the laughs and hope that you and your videos bring me Mandy
Ms. Mandy, one of the reasons your videos are fun to watch is because you and Steven are so genuine! I can tell you are much more comfortable in front of the camera and y'all keep up the good humor! Love to watch your family interact and react to your wonderful recipes!!!!
I love your videos, they have been helping me and my family are going through a rough time. we could use some prayers for my dad he is having a hard time with his health.
These all look DELICIOUS!!! Thank You for sharing these with Us. This was the first Combination of Appetizer Recipes shown on UTUBE WHERE I THINK THAT MY FAMILY AND I WILL LOVE!!! Thank You!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY! REMEMBER, HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!✝️🙏🏽💕💕💕😊🎄🎅🏼🛍🤶🏻❄️☃️💜🔔
OH MY GOODNESS! Everything looks wonderful and tasty! One of the biggest things I appreciate about you is your willingness to reveal your flaws by showing us your bloopers! Had to laugh because my stars would look the same exact way! LOLOL! KEEP DOING YOU, GIRL! We love ya for it! 😊❤
Mandy, I had to pause the video to comment before I forget. I just Love, Love watching your vids, because like you , I also laugh at myself in the kitchen. Those stars were hilarious, but I APPLAUD your attempt. You just keep doing what you do, I just enjoy watching you.!!!
Mandy, there is an air pocket at the top/bottom of the can. You just slide a butter knife down the side to the bottom of the can to release the air. The sauce will just slide out of the can perfectly. It, also, works on the jelly so you can slice it neatly on your serving dish. Was raised near the Cranberry Capital, Carver, MA. It is quite a sight to watch them harvest the berries. Enjoy!❤
I make my own as did my mom. I have never eaten canned cranberry sauce. It is really ray to do whether it us whole berry or no berry (my favorite) and you can add orange, spices etc...personally I like it just cranberries, sugar & water.
6:17 according to Ocean Spray that air pocket in the can is there to make easy for the sauce to come out intact and not all broken up. As for apricot and caramel either pronunciations are right.
We have huge cranberry bogs here in Warren Wisconsin too I Love them , a lady I know makes cranberry everything, cranberry potpourri , candles, oils, sprays, oh the smell is amazing.
Hi! Thank For these Wonderful Recipes! God l Miss my Husband, he passed away in 7 weeks to Pancreatic Cancer, Ugggggg l wish he was there in my kitchen like he always was, God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family
Here is an easy recipe: Little Smokey's heated in pepper jelly, I used red pepper and jalapeno pepper jelly (half jar of each). Nice spice and pretty with the red and green. You could use a whole jar of the red pepper jelly and dice up the jalapeno and put in.
They're really cute, right?!?! TELL ME THEY"RE PRETTY!!! I love you so much, Mandy. Those were the cutest darn puff pastry pesto Christmas trees I ever did see. 🤣😍🎄
Hi Mandy and Steven. I enjoy your videos so very much. I’ve been binging on your programs lately to distract me from some issues. On No 16 I had my right hip replaced. Went home the afternoon of No 18, fell in the middle of the night and went to the hospital in an ambulance. I’ve been here ever since because I broke a bone in my pelvis. Probably be here another couple of weeks. Your programs give such a boost. The joy and laughter are contagious. Thank you for being there.
I love them Mandy! Me and my 6 year old daughter watch your videos. She was so excited about the stars. She said they look like Patrick. 😅 Your videos make our mornings.
Your so funny Mandy when you bake something. I cheer you on girl . And your trees turned out just fine . Lol. I can't believe how much Cole looks like his dad . Twins . I love watching you and Steven. You 2 make my day . And Lil Gracey is so adorable. My Zoey is the same way .
I have been in the hospital since December 1st with back surgery. The hospital food isn't anything to write home about. These recipes all sound delicious.❤
i think, for me, the pesto dish might work better with whole pastry rolled in a log and cut into slices. no sticks and cheese put on top before baking.
All these recipes look delicious. However, my hat is off to you, I wouldn't have the patience to make those Christmas tree things. And your stars might not have been perfect, but they were pretty good! The beauty of your channel is the fact that the recipes are easy, and while you admit to not being perfect, you do very well and that along with your family interaction, including Gracie Lou, is quite endrearing! 😊😊
Mandy The Apple Caramel dip was a super hit. Delicious. Cranberry apricot spread was better the next day because the fruits mellowed and it was delicious. Yummy. Thank you.
That is so the cranberry cans can be stacked easily. If you poke a hole with an old fashion bottle opener in the 'bottom' of the cranberry can, doesn't matter which type, it slides out easier. HA! And using the damp towel trick, love it. I'm sure more people than just myself mentioned it. Another great vid.
Y'all are so hilarious to watch individually and together. Y'all such a joy to watch. Absolutely love these appetizers!! I need to tell ya that I only liked cheddar cheese. When you introduced a gouda cheese recipe I found my new favorite cheese. Thank y'all for that.
Hey Mandy just a little tip for you if you get a can of something and it won't come out like you did with the cranberry take one of those old can openers that just punches a hole & puncture a hole in the opposite end and it will slide right out like butter, it will also work for the canned soups. 👩🦳😁💜
Mandy, the joy you and your fellas give me is priceless!! I’m going through some health issues, and I’ve been discouraged, but time with you and your guys brings back lots of great memories with my sons and hubby!! Thank you all!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄
You are wicked funny and I absolutely love watching you. I was searching for something last night and when I saw you, I watched one video after another. You and your husband make a great team together. Thank you for the laughs and I can't wait to make your delicious recipes!
Hi Mandy, I have one of those choppers you used for the nuts. You have to pull the string all the way out to really get those blades inside to spin and chop. Four to five pulls on the chopper should so it for most things. Hugs
I love to watch all you do in your kitchen. Even the mistakes. That’s how you learn what works and what to do and not do. It’s called making it your own. That’s what real cooking is about. It’s also called cooking with LOVE!
Everything looks delicious. I should have expected to see your precious Gracie, my cat Benji passed away last night and when Gracie meowed, I just broke down all over again. She sounded just like him. He was 16 years old and I've had him since he was born. I'm feeling so lost not having him at my feet.
Oh my goodness, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My Gideon is close to 18 & I can't imagine life without him. Praying you find a kitten who needs a mama like you.😽
Yes!! I love this video!! You are real, and honest, and true. This is why I have faithfully watched you for 3 1/2 years now. Y'all are precious!!! ❤️❤️
I love watching you, because your down to earth and remind me of myself while cooking. I have a grocery list of things you've shown I plan on making. Glad I found you. Merry Christmas
Mandy, I just love y'all and Gracie Lou, too! I think its because, for one, I was born in Greenwood, SC and two, y'all are just funny and real! Plus, bonus reason, I love garlic!!! Lol 😂
They really di this with the can for the stocking shelves as a stocker myself I loved the idea made my life easier LOL 🤣🤣 just saying. .. all these look so yummy .. and we all love cream cheese in this house .. LoL 🤣🤣🤣 yall have a great day and Happy safe Holliday .. stay safe, stay healthy, stay positive always make it fun Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🌾🌵🦎💗
It all looks so good. Just love your guys. Little missy is so cute. I can tell you a secret when I was little my Nany told me not to worry about strange or not perfect cookies,cheese ect. They special because they are so full of love. When stars have legs that are odd they are trying to catch up with the gingerbread man. Great ideas going to try all of them.😊
Edit: I made the cheese spread, the caramel cream cheese dip and the meatballs. They all three were a hit. And each took minimum time to make. Thank you for allowing me to not have to stress about what to make! So glad for your help! I am going to make the cheese ball and the meatballs for our Christmas gathering.
I spent the first 30 + years of my life storing Cranberry sauce upside down so I could get it out of the can. When they changed the label it was sooo validating
After finishing the whole video I have to come back and leave another comment to say I have to try every single one of these! They all look so good. My hubby especially wants me to make the caramel dip. 😋 Also, you did an awesome job with the puff pastry trees! For some reason I’ve always been intimidated by puff pastry, even though it’s pre-made. 😜
Girl, I can't tell you how much your vids help me and my household. As a 40 year old mother of special needs kids trying to get by day to day with my own special needs, cooking can be a real challenge. But your videos help me with that.

Well thank you so much for the encouragement, April! Praying for you and your family!
April..prayers for you and your family..God bless you!
Honey I am praying for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for you and your family April!!!
I think the chopper works better when you have more to chop your dad doesn’t get up to the blades when there’s not enough.
Ms. Mandy, one of the reasons your videos are fun to watch is because you and Steven are so genuine!
I can tell you are much more comfortable in front of the camera and y'all keep up the good humor! Love to watch your family interact and react to your wonderful recipes!!!!
I love appetizers! I think the stars are cute.
Spend the whole afternoon with you, yes please!!!!
Love your ideas!!! I like stuff like that too. I love watching you guys and love that you love God. It shows in your lives.
I love your videos, they have been helping me and my family are going through a rough time. we could use some prayers for my dad he is having a hard time with his health.
These all look DELICIOUS!!! Thank You for sharing these with Us. This was the first Combination of Appetizer Recipes shown on UTUBE WHERE I THINK THAT MY FAMILY AND I WILL LOVE!!! Thank You!!!

Give yourself some more credit Ms Mandy, you DO know what you're doing in the kitchen. ❤

And I love y'all for hanging in there with me 💞
I love that Mandy is so real thats why I will always watch her Before anyone else and your food always looks amazing
It's quality control that's what common tader did tasting the spread.
Mandy, I had to pause the video to comment before I forget. I just Love, Love watching your vids, because like you , I also laugh at myself in the kitchen. Those stars were hilarious, but I APPLAUD your attempt. You just keep doing what you do, I just enjoy watching you.!!!

Your uncertainty is what makes your channel awesome
Here is an easy recipe: Little Smokey's heated in pepper jelly, I used red pepper and jalapeno pepper jelly (half jar of each). Nice spice and pretty with the red and green. You could use a whole jar of the red pepper jelly and dice up the jalapeno and put in.
Your free style way of cooking is what draws me to your videos. I’m not the most organized cook so I feel like your videos tell me I’m ok!
I'm so glad! You are MORE than ok! You are awesome just the way you are!
@@MandyintheMaking We get to the end result so we win!
They're really cute, right?!?! TELL ME THEY"RE PRETTY!!! I love you so much, Mandy. Those were the cutest darn puff pastry pesto Christmas trees I ever did see. 🤣😍🎄

@@sandybowman7140 Thank you very much, Sandy. I truly appreciate you.
Those meatballs look delicious and I cannot wait to try them! Thanks for all the videos you do!!
The stars look like something I would make
That cheese ball is yummy but even better with chopped pistachios added.
Appetizers dinner....Love this idea.
i think, for me, the pesto dish might work better with whole pastry rolled in a log and cut into slices. no sticks and cheese put on top before baking.
I think your trees were beautiful! The stars were good!❤❤

You are giving us fresh ideas for Holidays! Thanks, you guys are lots of fun to watch!❤❤
Mandy The Apple Caramel dip was a super hit. Delicious. Cranberry apricot spread was better the next day because the fruits mellowed and it was delicious. Yummy. Thank you.
I love appetizers. We usually graze all day on New Years Day on various appetizers. I can see these making an appearance!
I think the stars are cute 😊

And using the damp towel trick, love it. I'm sure more people than just myself mentioned it. Another great vid.
Pull the string longer when using the mini food processor - don't use short strokes. All of the appetizers looked delicious!!!!!!
Those are the kind of stars I make.
Oh, Mandy, I love your stars! They are rustic ❤
Y'all are so hilarious to watch individually and together. Y'all such a joy to watch. Absolutely love these appetizers!! I need to tell ya that I only liked cheddar cheese. When you introduced a gouda cheese recipe I found my new favorite cheese. Thank y'all for that.
Thank you so much 🤗 And I'm so glad you love Gouda now too! It's delicious!
I'm excited to get new appetizer recipes.
I found you, keeping you and your family in my prayers!

Hey Mandy just a little tip for you if you get a can of something and it won't come out like you did with the cranberry take one of those old can openers that just punches a hole & puncture a hole in the opposite end and it will slide right out like butter, it will also work for the canned soups. 👩🦳😁💜
I'm totally trying that later today when I make something for next week's video with cranberry sauce! Thanks!!
Steven, the orange & cranberries mellowed out the cream cheese flavor for you.
Mandy, the joy you and your fellas give me is priceless!! I’m going through some health issues, and I’ve been discouraged, but time with you and your guys brings back lots of great memories with my sons and hubby!! Thank you all!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄

I think your little trees came out adorable, and the stars just had a great touch of flare
Thanks Darlene!
We have fun with you not editing your videos. It makes my day to see the oops moments!! Love it❤️
Love appetizers! These look yummy
I have to bring a crockpot dish to my church this Sunday, going to do those meatballs. Thank you
I see the paper towel trick worked. :) I got this tip from someone and it is the best tip I have gotten.
Dude! You were cracking me up with those Christmas tree skewers! 😂😂
You guys always make me smile! ❤
