Hello Mel. Everything looked Delicious per usual. I love making Slider's and My Grandbabies love to help Nana cook them. It's such a wonderful Blessing to let My Sweet Grandchildren help me cook. We always have a great time.. and I think that it's important to teach them cooking skills.. I always did with my 5 Children while they were growing up too.. making fond memories is so Special.. Thanks For sharing all these Delicious recipes. Your such a big inspiration to me Mel, I absolutely Love and adore you. God Bless Y'all 🙏 Love From your Indiana Friend.
Mrs. Mel, you should try taking those little sweet peppers, cut in strips, and onion cut in strips. Sauté them in butter with some salt & garlic. Then put can chicken in with it. Take one burrito size tortilla. Put some of the mixture on half of it. Add cheese and salsa. Flip the other half of the tortilla over the top. Cook it in some butter, and viola'. You have the best fajita quesadilla. 👌🏻♥️
Yes, especially since it has been extremely hot here in south Louisiana. Light meals is the way to go. Thanks for sharing some delicious simple meal ideas.
Thank you so much 💓 I love sharing quick tasty meals and helping all of us take back some of our precious time. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you so much 😊
Thanks, we love snacks meals. I just asked my husband a little bit ago if he had any suggestions or requests for dinners this coming week.... He said, "I like those little sandwiches pretty good." 🤣😂😏
Honey, I love cooking and being in the kitchen but even I don't like to stand in there all day 🤣😂 Thank you so much for watching it really makes the world to me.🥰
Hi, Mel. You know, I have never made sliders, but these just looked so darn good, I think I'm gonna give them a try. You are such an inspiration to me in the kitchen. Thanks for all your time you spend with us and for us to share your meals and recipes. Have a wonderful day.
OH how sweet you are, this made my day! I love sharing my kitchen with you and I love our community! Thank you for always watching and supporting, love you!
I lived in Portugal for 13yrs while in the military and fell in love with eating Tapas. After the 1st 3-5yrs I stopped eating regular 3 course meals and hardly ever made a “traditional” meal. I just started enjoying having small plates and never stopped🤷🏽Right now a sliced apple, cheddar cheese chunks, rolled Tavern ham and French bread is on my plate and I wouldn’t want anything else! This episode devoted to smaller meals is appreciated!
Thank you so much for this comment, I love to hear how differently everyone eats. I love what's on your plate ❤️ when my kids were small they called it a snack plate 🤣 I guess because it was all their favorite snacks at one time. Thanks for watching and I'm so glad this video hit all the right notes with you.😊👍
Everything looks delicious and so easy! My son watched them with me and wants me to make everything on this video lol. He loves to cook and help in the kitchen! Thanks for all the ideas for dinners!
You're so welcomed ☺️ I think these are perfect for these hot busy summer days and the kids can definitely help with any of these. They're all so easy and fun to put together, and they're always more likely to eat it when they had a hand in making it 🤣❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Thank you. I also love the name Maddie so much that it's what I named my beautiful cat. I love that your Maddie helps you in the Kitchen.
❤️ She's always been the one that was stuck right to my side from the beginning of time 🤣 She has always enjoyed being at home with me whether it's in the kitchen (that was always her favorite) or folding clothes just whatever she's always liked to be with me. She's 18 years old now but I swear she likes to be with me and my friends more than young adults her age. Invite her to a pool party she will pass, but ask her to serve food after a funeral, deliver meals to our shut ins, write out cards or decorate the church for VBS with the women my age - she'll be there! 🤣
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I think that is so great. You raised her right. I was always the same way with Mom and I would do anything for her. Unfortunately I lost her back in 2009 but I think about her everyday. Thank you for being so great and enjoy your week.
@Shannon Pichotta oh thank you and bless your heart. I am still blessed to have mine with me. Nothing could ever make that loss any easier. I think you're pretty great too, have a great one 😊
❤️ I can really relate to this. I have so much to do and sometimes it gets too late to start a "regular" supper (that I had planned for the menu that week), and I'm just too tired. I used to keep a couple pre-made things in the freezer for a day like that, but I'm being extra-frugal and so I've been staying away from those useful things like deli meats, frozen foods like chicken nuggets and strips, pizza. But your ideas are so great and sometimes the saved time is more important than being frugal. I almost always cook everything from scratch, including baking bread, etc. but it sure is helpful to keep a few time-savers in the freezer for those days when you just don't have time or want to make a full supper. 😊
So glad I found your channel because I really enjoy your personality, recipes and inspiration! All of these are great go to ideas especially when it’s so hot and we’re hungry but don’t want to put out much effort. Thank you for helping break up the boredom and inspiring new ideas with familiar ingredients❤️
Well, you are just the sweetest 🥰 thank you so much for such an encouraging comment. 💕 And I agree summer should be a time for laid back fun and less work for us all 👍 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😊 Have a blessed night ❤️
I just wanted to tell you that I made the Enchilada Casserole for my family they love it and said it was very good. Thank for sharing. I enjoy watching you and don't miss one video.
That's so great 👍 I'm so glad you've got a new meal everyone loves. Thanks so much for letting me know and for watching every week. I appreciate you so much 💛
Those ham and cheese sliders are so good. I usually make them with egg and have them for breakfast. I have not tried the chicken ones, adding that to my grocery list! Thanks for the yummy suggestions.
Thank you for the wonderful ideas. Right up my alley 😄. You helped me save dinner tonight, my fish wasn’t thawed so I made the chicken bacon ranch sliders with rolls from the freezer and rotisserie chicken that needed used. Delicious!
Everything you make always looks sooo good! You definitely have that special touch! Love to watch and listen to your videos, so very soothing💗😊🌷 please keep them coming! Xoxo
Love these easy quick meals!! sometimes you just want to use up what you have,or you just don't feel like a big production in the kitchen.for whatever reason or just bc it sounds good.loved this video.thank you for sharing your great quick and easy dinner ideas 😌.❤😊
Thanks for these quick dinner ideas. I'm always looking for quick easy meals I can just throw together. I don't ever have alot of time to cook I'm helping raise my 3 month old granddaughter and she's got colic so quick is the way to go. Love from Indiana God bless
Bless you and your family, and nothing wrong with quick easy snack meals. Especially in the hot summer and your busy season of life right now. Thank YOU so much for watching 😊
Mel I love these videos..It been so hot here in East Texas , 106 for several days now... These recipes are what I like to fix.. I have my daughter that's in liver failure and my husband has cancer...we are raising our 2 grandsons because of our daughter being sick...They are 16 and 11 so these recipes are perfect...Thank you again and God bless you and your family..
Bless you friend, thank you so much for watching and I am so sorry for the load you are bearing right now. I will keep you in my prayers and all your family 🙏😢
You are always a delight and a blessing! It's been a rough time here lately, truck will only run in 2nd gear, some logging firm dropped a tree right on our gravity-fed spring water source and we had no water (aside from what we had in the basement for emergencies) my dear aunt has cancer again and I've needed to support her, as well as another friend really going through a rough patch. She is a complete shut-in, so I've really made extra time to talk to her, write her and such, as she lives far from us. The work around here is endless, we have two hens broody and that throws things amuck for sure. I've had some health things, my husband wrenched his back for a couple of days, and the washing machine broke! However, God is good, we've gotten our water restored, my sweet husband's back is feeling better. In fact, he put up more firewood today. While that funky, old truck only runs in 2nd gear, she still goes up the hillside and into the forest to bring our firewood back for us to dry in the sun. We were blessed with a new (to us) washing machine, a friend that I often cook for, loaned his truck so we could pick it up. During this time, now and again, I'd watch a UA-cam video of yours and felt so comforted. Thank you for that. You are so special.
Give it all to God! Lot going on with you and Yours! We had a tragedy the other day in my family. We have all started to feel better. We learned something really bad today again, we are giving it to God! Do the best you can and Give it to God! My 92 year old Dad is the patriarch behind God’s Love. He goes to church everyday if he can make it.
Oh my goodness friend, you are a testimony to the fact that God doesn't promise us it will be easy but He does promise us He will be with us. Thru all the things you have had happening you still served and looked to put others first. That's what He calls us all to do and your faithfulness is such a sweet example and glimpse into you heart. He is making a way to take care of all these problems, continue to trust Him and serve. YOU have encouraged me so much tonight! We all need to have a attitude of gratitude like you friend. I will be praying for you and your husband and friend, too. God bless you, love you 😊
Love your food recipes you know I overdid by and of course I only bought cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup and of course cheese and then I seen your videos couple weeks ago and I thought so anyhow I'd love your recipes thank you they're easy peasy and it's what I have on hand without even knowing it
I’ve recently discovered my love for making homemade sliders. I love the chicken bacon ranch. Going to give that one a try for sure. I also love the pizza idea. I’m fairly new to your channel and I absolutely love it. I think you might be one of the sweetest ladies on UA-cam. 😎
Well thank you so much, you have made my day with this very kind comment 😊 I enjoy sharing my quick and easy meals and just a little bit of myself and laughs with you. I hope that you enjoy each one of these that you try, they are all so easy and so good! I hope that you enjoy each one of these that you try, they are all so easy and so good! Thank you again for this comment, it is so encouraging to me 😊👍 Thank you so much again for watching and I hope you have a great week 😊
We love making bbq nachos with out leftover butt last time I made bbq taquitos and they were a huge hit we dipped them in avocado ranch it was so good.
I'm adding the meals to my list when I go grocery shopping again and since we are burned out on pizza I will make breakfast stuffed biscuits with bacon, egg, cheese with asparagus on the side. I love your simplicity on meals no complications.
Oh that breakfast stuffed biscuit sounds delicious 😋 I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video, and I show the real food I make for my family and it's always no fuss, quick and easy 😉 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, hope you have a blessed week 😊
My family has truly been enjoying those KFC Bowls... I never had them at KFC but the first time I made them, I knew we'd be having them again. :-) Great recipes and meals!
This is what I need easy recipes for this week .I broke my big toe.I will be making these recipes thanks mel.enjoy your week.if you like preztal. They have new sliders delishes.
Hey, Mel 💚🌸. Seems like all I want is snacky meals 🤣😂. Everything looks delicious!!! Guess I am going to have to break down and buy some convenience foods and make things easier on myself 😊. I can be so stubborn and set in my ways, sometimes 😜🤪.
Think i am going to make the KFC bowls this week but make the potatoes in the instant pot. its supposed to be 95 here in Southern Oregon. Have a blessed week and stay cool.
Im so excited I'm up to 25 subscribers. I know that doesn't sound like a whole lot but i am just over the moon about it. I really need to try some of these sliders.
So glad you liked this one! And I agree, sometimes snacks just hit right 👍Like after Thanksgiving and all the leftovers, about a week later I need a taco or pizza 🤣
Man! I love your videos. I forget about Sliders. We love those but I haven't made them for months. That chicken and potato bowls looked great too. I'm going to do that this week. Working full time now, I need quick meals. Thank you so much! I loved all these meals so I shared the video on FB and tagged my sister. She and Dad would love these too.
Oh thank you for sharing my video, that means so much to me. I agree, when you work you gotta make it as easy on yourself as you can. Thanks so much for watching
Good evening Mel! I want to thank you for showing us that we can repurpose our leftovers into amazing meals! I made the KFC bowls tonight for dinner & it was delicious!! In the last year I’ve learned so much from my UA-cam ladies, I didn’t know how to cook much but I never stop learning! You’ve brought me to the next level! God bless!
Oh thank YOU so much for always watching and supporting me ❤️ I am also learning all the time too 😊 and I love finding ways to use up leftovers, I just don't like to waste food. Thanks again 👍
It’s so hard to cut those rolls evenly. I always have trouble. 😂 everything looked so delicious! I think snacky dinners are so nice. I absolutely love doing those KFC bowls at home. So good! I will have to look for those chicken chunks. Everything looked so good!
Funny you mentioned sloppy Joe's! I had some leftover sloppy Joe meat leftover I needed to use up but I didn't want to do a basic sloppy Joe on buns so I made a grilled cheese using the filling with American, mozzarella & sharp cheddar and gosh was it so Good! Everything in today's videos looked amazing as usual
We really like snacky dinners especially in the summertime. This year we don't but usually we have a garden going on and I'll make just about any kind of heavy appetizer or make them a little bigger and have that with whatever salad stuff we have coming out of the garden whether it just be a marinated salad or a pasta salad or a big huge lettuce salad with lots of tomatoes and cucumber and stuff on it. I think an Italian quesadilla would have gone really good too with some of your ground meat and some of your pasta sauce maybe some onions and peppers and what have you on there mushrooms I don't know if you like mushrooms or not I'm stack that on there I think I would have mixed the sauce with the hamburger meat and made it like meat sauce and use that for a layer lots of good cheese on that. I like the idea of those biscuit pizzas I've seen those often but I've never actually done them for the six of us I think it would take way too many so it's easier just to make pizza. Unless I did it in the Summer with the big salads. I like these ideas
These are great ideas, I love all the little cucumbers we've been getting out of our little patch ❤️ And I thought about making a pizza quesadilla but I just can't seem to get enough taco flavor these days 🤣 Thanks for watching and have a blessed week friend 😀
OMGGGGG sticky fingers bbq sauce, we get that here in KS. We heard about it on Food Network about 10 years if that & found it here & OMG we love that sauce. So yummy! Have you ever had (if you can find it) Cattleman's bbq sauce? So good, I love it when I can find it. It used to be so well known here in KS while I was growing up, I can hardly find it now, & when I do I will buy them out. Also have you ever made your own bbq pizza? We do with frozen cheese pizza & then use the Lloyds bbq chick/beef/pork/tukey when its on sale, add it to the pizza & bake it up & we love it.
They all looked so good 👍 In the grocery where do you find the bacon pieces? I see that alot of you cooking use them . 🤔 Have a wonderful week...Mrs Steve
Everything looked yummy, and I love how you were able to use up the small leftover portions of ingredients. Your videos make me feel calm and peaceful when I am in a terrible mood (or not!) so thank you. Sending you love from my kitchen table, in Arkansas!
Hi, I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing some great recipes. Also, I know this really random, but your wedding ring looks extremely similar to mine and I’ve also got the wave ring too 😃. I felt instantly connected.
Welcome and thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment and introduce yourself. 😊 I'm so happy that you're here!! And I love that we have the same taste in jewelry 🥰😊😂 Great minds right 👍
Hi Momma Mel👋👋👋 So happy to see you and your delicious easy and fun meals, everything looked so yummy, I’ve got to make myself some sliders sometime soon, it’s not something I’ve ever made before but they look so yummy especially the ham/cheese w/the butter/Dijon and brown sugar topping, I’m all for that. TYFS the great ideas, I enjoy you so much, I hope you’ve been having a good day and prayers you & yours all have a blessed week ahead. Love & hugs♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️

While that funky, old truck only runs in 2nd gear, she still goes up the hillside and into the forest to bring our firewood back for us to dry in the sun. We were blessed with a new (to us) washing machine, a friend that I often cook for, loaned his truck so we could pick it up. During this time, now and again, I'd watch a UA-cam video of yours and felt so comforted. Thank you for that. You are so special.
Give it all to God! Lot going on with you and Yours! We had a tragedy the other day in my family. We have all started to feel better. We learned something really bad today again, we are giving it to God! Do the best you can and Give it to God! My 92 year old Dad is the patriarch behind God’s Love. He goes to church everyday if he can make it.
Oh my goodness friend, you are a testimony to the fact that God doesn't promise us it will be easy but He does promise us He will be with us. Thru all the things you have had happening you still served and looked to put others first. That's what He calls us all to do and your faithfulness is such a sweet example and glimpse into you heart. He is making a way to take care of all these problems, continue to trust Him and serve. YOU have encouraged me so much tonight! We all need to have a attitude of gratitude like you friend. I will be praying for you and your husband and friend, too. God bless you, love you 😊
Prayers and love to you too friend 🙏 ❤️
Love your food recipes you know I overdid by and of course I only bought cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup and of course cheese and then I seen your videos couple weeks ago and I thought so anyhow I'd love your recipes thank you they're easy peasy and it's what I have on hand without even knowing it
Wonderful!
I’ve recently discovered my love for making homemade sliders. I love the chicken bacon ranch. Going to give that one a try for sure. I also love the pizza idea. I’m fairly new to your channel and I absolutely love it. I think you might be one of the sweetest ladies on UA-cam. 😎
Well thank you so much, you have made my day with this very kind comment 😊 I enjoy sharing my quick and easy meals and just a little bit of myself and laughs with you. I hope that you enjoy each one of these that you try, they are all so easy and so good! I hope that you enjoy each one of these that you try, they are all so easy and so good! Thank you again for this comment, it is so encouraging to me 😊👍 Thank you so much again for watching and I hope you have a great week 😊
We love making bbq nachos with out leftover butt last time I made bbq taquitos and they were a huge hit we dipped them in avocado ranch it was so good.
Very impressive!! I want to see more of you :) keep sharing…. I’m subscribed to your channel!! 💪
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😊
I'm adding the meals to my list when I go grocery shopping again and since we are burned out on pizza I will make breakfast stuffed biscuits with bacon, egg, cheese with asparagus on the side. I love your simplicity on meals no complications.
Oh that breakfast stuffed biscuit sounds delicious 😋 I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video, and I show the real food I make for my family and it's always no fuss, quick and easy 😉 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, hope you have a blessed week 😊
My family has truly been enjoying those KFC Bowls... I never had them at KFC but the first time I made them, I knew we'd be having them again. :-) Great recipes and meals!
I've never had them from KFC either 😂🤣 I honestly can't even remember the last time I've been to KFC. But they were onto something good 😊
Excited for these quick and easy meals. They all look and sound so amazing.
This is what I need easy recipes for this week .I broke my big toe.I will be making these recipes thanks mel.enjoy your week.if you like preztal. They have new sliders delishes.
Oh bless your heart, take care of that toe friend 🥰😉

@@ericastout4552 good broke my toe but good
@@ericastout4552 Its hurting but it will heel thanks.
Hey, Mel 💚🌸. Seems like all I want is snacky meals 🤣😂. Everything looks delicious!!! Guess I am going to have to break down and buy some convenience foods and make things easier on myself 😊. I can be so stubborn and set in my ways, sometimes 😜🤪.
LOL Me too friend, I am a creature of habit
Think i am going to make the KFC bowls this week but make the potatoes in the instant pot. its supposed to be 95 here in Southern Oregon. Have a blessed week and stay cool.
Great 👍, and stay cool 😎
Im so excited I'm up to 25 subscribers. I know that doesn't sound like a whole lot but i am just over the moon about it. I really need to try some of these sliders.
Oh Mary that is amazing! Those subscribers will come honey, you are doing great!
Hi Mel. This was perfect! Sometimes you just need something quick and snacky. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗
So glad you liked this one! And I agree, sometimes snacks just hit right 👍Like after Thanksgiving and all the leftovers, about a week later I need a taco or pizza 🤣
Thanks for sharing Momma Mel I am making the sliders for dinner on Monday and ham is on sale at my local grocery store for 4.99 a pound :)
Yeah! I love it when a plan comes together! I often let the sales make my menu 🤣
Everything looks delicious!
And EASY!!
Thank you, Mel! ❤️
Good to see you!! 😉❤️
Great to see you too! It was definitely a fun and tasty video to put together ❤️ thanks for watching
Thank you Mel. I love your channel. New sub here! ♥️♥️
Welcome and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment and introduce yourself 😊
Man! I love your videos. I forget about Sliders. We love those but I haven't made them for months. That chicken and potato bowls looked great too. I'm going to do that this week. Working full time now, I need quick meals. Thank you so much! I loved all these meals so I shared the video on FB and tagged my sister. She and Dad would love these too.
Oh thank you for sharing my video, that means so much to me. I agree, when you work you gotta make it as easy on yourself as you can. Thanks so much for watching
I never throw out food, so I'm like you, I have a freezer full of baggies with small amounts of stuff. So these are great ideas.😊💚
We are kitchen sisters 😊😉 waste not want not right. Have a great week friend 😊
Good evening Mel! I want to thank you for showing us that we can repurpose our leftovers into amazing meals! I made the KFC bowls tonight for dinner & it was delicious!! In the last year I’ve learned so much from my UA-cam ladies, I didn’t know how to cook much but I never stop learning! You’ve brought me to the next level! God bless!
Oh thank YOU so much for always watching and supporting me ❤️ I am also learning all the time too 😊 and I love finding ways to use up leftovers, I just don't like to waste food. Thanks again 👍
It all looked great. Perfect for easy meals. You never disappoint my friend!
Thank you 😋
Glad you survived cutting the bread for the sliders again! Love all of these ideas, everything looks delicious and I love those KFC bowls.
I think of you every time 🤣🥰
It’s so hard to cut those rolls evenly. I always have trouble. 😂 everything looked so delicious! I think snacky dinners are so nice. I absolutely love doing those KFC bowls at home. So good! I will have to look for those chicken chunks. Everything looked so good!
Girl I don't even worry about even anymore 🤣 And the Purdue chicken chunks were good 😋
We use English muffins for our‘pizza toast’.
Oh that's a delicious idea, and I have some in the freezer. Thanks so much for watching and this great tip. 😊
Funny you mentioned sloppy Joe's! I had some leftover sloppy Joe meat leftover I needed to use up but I didn't want to do a basic sloppy Joe on buns so I made a grilled cheese using the filling with American, mozzarella & sharp cheddar and gosh was it so Good!
Everything in today's videos looked amazing as usual
Oh yes, that sounds wonderful too! Thank YOU so much for watching 😊
I think we’re going to have quesadillas tonight. That just sounds so good. Have a blessed week sweet friend 💕
Yum! One of my favs! Have a blessed week too 🥰
We really like snacky dinners especially in the summertime. This year we don't but usually we have a garden going on and I'll make just about any kind of heavy appetizer or make them a little bigger and have that with whatever salad stuff we have coming out of the garden whether it just be a marinated salad or a pasta salad or a big huge lettuce salad with lots of tomatoes and cucumber and stuff on it. I think an Italian quesadilla would have gone really good too with some of your ground meat and some of your pasta sauce maybe some onions and peppers and what have you on there mushrooms I don't know if you like mushrooms or not I'm stack that on there I think I would have mixed the sauce with the hamburger meat and made it like meat sauce and use that for a layer lots of good cheese on that. I like the idea of those biscuit pizzas I've seen those often but I've never actually done them for the six of us I think it would take way too many so it's easier just to make pizza. Unless I did it in the Summer with the big salads. I like these ideas
These are great ideas, I love all the little cucumbers we've been getting out of our little patch ❤️ And I thought about making a pizza quesadilla but I just can't seem to get enough taco flavor these days 🤣 Thanks for watching and have a blessed week friend 😀
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel don't blame you I have been on a taco flavored kick for about a year
OMGGGGG sticky fingers bbq sauce, we get that here in KS. We heard about it on Food Network about 10 years if that & found it here & OMG we love that sauce. So yummy! Have you ever had (if you can find it) Cattleman's bbq sauce? So good, I love it when I can find it. It used to be so well known here in KS while I was growing up, I can hardly find it now, & when I do I will buy them out. Also have you ever made your own bbq pizza? We do with frozen cheese pizza & then use the Lloyds bbq chick/beef/pork/tukey when its on sale, add it to the pizza & bake it up & we love it.
They all looked so good 👍 In the grocery where do you find the bacon pieces? I see that alot of you cooking use them . 🤔 Have a wonderful week...Mrs Steve
They are with the salad dressings and toppings like croutons, etc. Hope that helps you find them. Thanks for watching and have a blessed week 😊
Everything looked yummy, and I love how you were able to use up the small leftover portions of ingredients. Your videos make me feel calm and peaceful when I am in a terrible mood (or not!) so thank you. Sending you love from my kitchen table, in Arkansas!
I'm so glad! That really makes me smile and encourages me to keep on sharing, I appreciate you and your support!
Hi, I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing some great recipes. Also, I know this really random, but your wedding ring looks extremely similar to mine and I’ve also got the wave ring too 😃. I felt instantly connected.

Hi Momma Mel👋👋👋 So happy to see you and your delicious easy and fun meals, everything looked so yummy, I’ve got to make myself some sliders sometime soon, it’s not something I’ve ever made before but they look so yummy especially the ham/cheese w/the butter/Dijon and brown sugar topping, I’m all for that.
