Favorite part of my morning so far, you ask? Sipping coffee, watching your video, and cuddling my pups. ❤️ Your videos are so fun to watch & my husband loves the meals I’ve created since watching you.
Mandy you are an amazing cook . You clearly cook with Love , you cook because you want to cook , that's why you do such amazing recipes, Love your channel. Anita UK.
I just made an adaption of potato soup. Ground beef cooked with onions and bell pepper, add water, celery, cabbage and potatoes. Cook till all is done, save liquid in the pot. Add whole milk and Velvetta to taste. It makes a thick soup, delicious.
Give this woman a TV show already. Great personality that is contagious (and doesn't seem fake), beautiful family, awesome food recipes. I'd watch for sure!
The worst part of this video is deciding which is my FAVORITE! My goodness, they are ALL SOOO DEEE-LICIOUS!! And, absolutely gotta try. I have learned so so much from you. Not just the actual cooking, but you share with us sites that can help us find yummy recipes and family values. I have a very tight knit family and really can appreciate and enjoy watching how yours is so supportive. It's AWESOME!! Hugz Arlene
Mandy, you are such a blessing to me! I'm a 33 year old stay at home mom in Dallas. I love your videos and they always inspire me to try new recipes. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may the Lord bless you!
Love ❤️ the Italian lemon 🍋 Chicken with Orzo 👌👩🏼🍳😉The Spinach adds such great color and flavor - yum 🍽 And those stuffed shells are Awesome too ! It’s Italian week week for sure at your home Mandy 🇮🇹😂 I actually share my Mom and Dads Authentic homemade meat sauce recipe on my channel - it’s a tradition in our family- if you ever want to attempt to try a meat sauce recipe! Let me tell you it is soo good ! And it makes a lot so you can freeze it in bags, and get lots of dinners out of it ! Great what’s for dinner as always !
For less experienced cooks... that butter lemon chicken/garlic parmesan orzo comes together quickly. DEFINITELY have everything prepared first... and if you like the stems off the spinach, have that done first. But it was SO tasty...YUM!👍
I made the stuffed shells with sausage over top and man oh man they were amazing, I recently made a batch and stuffed them, then froze them individually on a baking sheet and froze them solid, transferred to a freezer bag and now we can have just the right amount for the two of us when we feel like good stuffed shells. Tonight I have the orzo and the lemon chicken ready to serve as soon as my husband comes in from work. Love your recipes, and your video's, thanks for sharing them with us.
Mandy you definitely could have your own cooking show ,your so on point when your showing how to make your recipes . I think you would have made a awesome school teacher . I will be making all of these this week for my family. We missed you last week . Your such a inspiration to everyone that needs ideas for dinner. I am so glad I found you here on yt. Blessings Kathy
Hey Mandy, I was just looking at your shoulder patch again and thought of my Mama's home treatment if you are still dealing with it and your migraines. She says to always keep 91% isopropyl alcohol on hand, preferably in a spray bottle . Spray the affected area really well and rub it in. It's almost magical in how well it works . Then get you some Voltaren gel and rub it in for the inflammation. This has helped me so much. I hope you see this and start to use these. They are a miracle for me.
If you mix up you filling and put it in a zip lock bag, just cut off the corner of the zip lock and squeeze it into the shells. I do the same with deviled eggs, as well!
This has gotta be my favorite video of all time all around!!🩷🩷🩷 I like the with Mexican one with Crema drizzled on it!! And like you did with the chopped tomatoes too..👌
Try leaving all of the goodies in the skillet after you cook the chicken and deglaze the pan with your chicken broth and lemon. You’ll find that there’s so much flavor that will add to your sauce.
I just found your channel via southern country living and I can’t wait to try some of your recipes! I work full time and I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes!
I made this recipe vegan. Used vegan chik'n mix. Made this thin bread patties and frozen them before coating with vegan Just Egg and flour. Used almond milk. Used Earth Balance instead of butter. It turned out most delicious. Thank you Mandy.
Oh my this video was filled with deliciousness! I enjoyed all how all of these recipes turned out. I am going to try the Mexican Casserole first! I can't wait! Thanks for the dinner inspiration.
Hi Mandy, I'm catching up on some what's for dinner videos I've missed. I just love your channel. You have the best recipes! I just want to thank you for your content .You really inspire me and give me some great ideas for meals that my family has really enjoyed. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄💕 Annie
Your hair is so dang cute in the side ponytail. I absolutely look forward to your videos. Y'all seem like a wonderful family. I miss little Gracie Lou 😢 I definitely plan to give all these dishes a try! I hope that you have A wonderful blessed day!
I make something VERY similar to the last dish you make. But make the spanish rice, add a can of rotel, and the hamburger, blend together well. On your PLATE, add 1 heaping handful of either fritos (Best) or roughly crumbled tortilla chips to the bottom of plate. Add rice/hamburger mixture. Then add cheese. Then, add salad mix to the top, and any extras like sliced olives, tomato, onions...etc. Then add ranch on top. Using your fork, mix together from the bottom, well. OMG...this has been a family staple for two generations in my family, called Mexican Delight.
I don't know why this is just now popping up for me to see but I'm happy I'm not missing it. Shout out to your son for making a cameo in your video! That's the reason why I clicked so fast because I know he never showed his face. I only ever see his thumbs up.
Just a suggestion, it would really be helpful if you'd put the name of the recipes in the title of the video. I'm pinning these on pinterest but can't tell which video to go back to for certain meals.
The chicken and orzo dish looks awesome! They all do, but that In particular had me wanted to taste it. I’ll be putting that on my dinner plan!! Thanks for sharing Mandy!!
My mom taught me to always add a shot of dark rum to my ricotta mixtures. It was her secret ingredient. :-) If you’d like to take this dish up a notch or two, add crab meat to your ricotta mixture and put a couple shrimp in each shell. So many variations with this dish. Yours looks delish!
I looove stuffed shells. I use a pastry bag to pipe in the mixture into the shells. Oh wow I mix the italian sausage into the shells as well. I love seeing how other people do recipes I love. I always look forward to your what's for dinner video. I dont always get a chance to comment but I always watch. That taco casserole looks amazing ! I am going to try that for our family one night.
Your food looks sooo delicious! I love your style: how you pretty up your dishes, how everything is so neat and tidy, how you have your ingredients in prep dishes and ready to use, How you incorporate your family, and how you incorporate a subscriber each video. Your videos are very well laid out and thorough. You’re a natural! You’re a good wife and mother. I can tell you have a good heart, too. That definitely shows in your family as well as your videos. I’ve forwarded many of your videos to friends and family to follow. Thanks for all your efforts for us, the viewers. God bless!
My goodness, what sweet words. Thank you so much for your compliments. I'm thankful to have a great group of subscribers who are so uplifting and supportive ❤️
This is one of my favorite videos so far. Trying the chicken and orzo this week. I watched it on your family faves video you posted last week. I’m going to try all of these recipes though! I’m a huge Gracie fan btw 😻
I reuse a pickle jar to shake my ranch dressing in. I hated the leaking also and the jar works great. I add a tablespoon of sour cream before shaking it up so it is not so thin.
I loved these meals. I only made shells once. It was putzie. But after watching I think I am gonna try again. Looks so delish. Taco dish looks so good. Ive used the yellow rice and love it. So enjoy your videos. You guys are so fun. Thanks for sharing.l
All these recipes are amazing. I love the stuffed shells and recipe with the cheese soup. I make a stuffed shells with stovetop stuffing, rotisserie chicken and cream of mushroom soup. Cook the shells just like you did, prepare the stuffing according to the package direction and mix with cut up leftover chicken. Fill all the shells with the stuffing mixture. Thin out the cream of mushroom, just enough to make it pourable, you can use two cans. Top with shredded cheese and cover and bake at 350F for 30 minutes. Take the foil off and cook for 5 minutes more. So yummy!
Ohhh..I just made an Orzo dish with shallots, and I gotta say it's a Must ingredient!👌 I had not cooked with shallots in many, many years? And Wow..what a flavor it imparts!🩷🩷🩷

Mmm this stuff sounds so good! I love how your husband is so authentic with his reviews. Seriously, he is very authentic and I love it!
This combination was a BIG seller at my house. Thanks for sharing, this will go into our "rotation".
This was the WRONG video to watch while I’m eating cereal!! Holy moly that 1st dish looks delicious!
I need to make the first dish like tonight lol
I see all three of these meals going in my future meal plans for sure!
Yay!!! So happy to hear that!
Yes, me too.
This all looks so delicious!!! I could watch you cook all day! You make the best recipes I have seen on UA-cam!
Making Mexican casserole for dinner tonight. Adding a layer of refried beans. Can’t wait for it to come out of the oven!!
I watch a LOT of cooking videos on UA-cam and yours is my favorite!! 👍👍

That sounds yummy!! Thank you 😊❤️
All yummy. When squeezing a lemon(or lime), cut the little stem end off. It makes squeezing so much easier and you get more juice. ❤️
I love your recipes! If I cooked like you do every week, my husband and I would be big as a barn!
Always love the recipes, AND love when you show Gracie💕
Thanks Tracy!
I have just found your channel today & already want to try so many of your meal ideas... thank you for sharing. Keep safe x

Thank you Anne!!!
I have made this before, but I have mixed the sausage meat with the cheese mixture. Yum!
Oh my 🤗 I'm going to make all three of these meals. They looked sooo good 😋 thank you Mandy 😊
Love it when you give out the recipe.It really helps me so much. God bless you and your family too Angel girl
I made the chicken and orzo for dinner tonight, it was awesome. A simple tip for the orzo... add nutmeg to the dish to complement the parm.
Hey Mandy, I was just looking at your shoulder patch again and thought of my Mama's home treatment if you are still dealing with it and your migraines.

And the buttery garlic lemon chicken and the creamy orzo is a hit in my house! I've been asked to make it again this week.
I don't know why this is just now popping up for me to see but I'm happy I'm not missing it. Shout out to your son for making a cameo in your video! That's the reason why I clicked so fast because I know he never showed his face. I only ever see his thumbs up.
Hehe! I was surprised he allowed me to put him on the thumbnail! Thanks for watching 😊👍
Just a suggestion, it would really be helpful if you'd put the name of the recipes in the title of the video. I'm pinning these on pinterest but can't tell which video to go back to for certain meals.
I have to remember what shirt she's wearing lol
Sandy I agree with u ! 🌻
The recipes are in the description
Oh yes I agree.....you do such a great job. Thank you so much.
I would love that too. I do the same thing. I have Mandy vids all over my pintrest, but I'm never sure which one I'm looking for.
Thanks to the sunbbie who recommended the taco casserole. There are so many variations of taco casserole, but this is on by far the best.
Loved these recipes. All of them were great! Thank you.

If you’d like to take this dish up a notch or two, add crab meat to your ricotta mixture and put a couple shrimp in each shell. So many variations with this dish. Yours looks delish!
Wow. That’s a new one for me. So rum works in Italian-based dishes? It’s worth a try. Thanks.
You’re so fun to watch. I think you should have your own tv show!
You are too sweet 😘😘
I looove stuffed shells. I use a pastry bag to pipe in the mixture into the shells. Oh wow I mix the italian sausage into the shells as well. I love seeing how other people do recipes I love. I always look forward to your what's for dinner video. I dont always get a chance to comment but I always watch. That taco casserole looks amazing ! I am going to try that for our family one night.

I made the mexican casserole Friday and everyone loved it. Gone. Nothing left. I will be making this again and soon.
I'm so happy to hear that!!
Ohhh..I just made an Orzo dish with shallots, and I gotta say it's a Must ingredient!👌 I had not cooked with shallots in many, many years? And Wow..what a flavor it imparts!🩷🩷🩷
Haha! Love the ending! You two are too cute.
Hehe. Thanks!
when I pound chicken out I put mine in a ziploc bag and that seems to help with splatters:):)
Definitely gonna have to try the stuffed shells and taco casserole
Both were amazing!!!
Mandy
How long would you say that you boiled those shells? You said that you undercooked them because they were going to be baked.
Thanks
Probably about 7-8 minutes. I just kept checking them.
Going to add these meals to my meal plan in December, thx for the ideas!!
Yay!!! 😍
Mandy definitely making all these recipes. They look delicious
Thank you!
You make me hungry! Great What's for Dinner, Mandy!
Haha, sorry about that!! 😍
I can't wait to make ALL 3 of these. YUM!!! Who needs HELLO FRESH when we have Mandy!!!!
(: Thank You So Much For All You Do!!!!! .... ❤⚘🌷
