The best part of cooking is my husband telling me how amazing the food is. Who can agree?
I agree. My husband always thanks me for cooking, even if it doesn’t turn out well.
Yes
@@xxcarlita31xx Oh yes! My adult son just texted me to let me know how awesome my stew was today! Makes all the cooking so worth it. Love it when the 2 men in my life compliment my meals😊👍🏻
Yes! I always wait for my fiance to take the first bite and get his reaction
You're all lucky 👍 - How about a son-in-law that complains & criticizes everything our daughter cooks, won't eat a leftover, monitors what his children eat, harps about the housework but refuses to help (our daughter works too), .....oh enough - be happy with the men you have ❤👋
Mandy, your WFD videos are, by far, THE BEST ON UA-cam! Several reasons, 1) you explain so well, 2) Your family is adorable, 3) your meals are awesome, and 4) you do not rush or have that inflection in your voice at the end of every sentence that so many youtubers have!! Thank you for a wonderful channel!!
Excellent ❤️
Your husband is so sweet, having someone who appreciates your hard work and time makes cooking even more fun! 😁
I totally agree!
I cannot wait to try your recipes, they all look delicious!
Exactly what I was thinking Sabrina!!! 😁
Amen!
That is so true! My adult son is fun to cook for because he loves food. Lol
I absolutely love how Stephen describes what he likes about the food. That must be so helpful in understanding what kind of food he enjoys and planning future meals you know he will like. Very cool!
MANDY IN THE MAKING? NO WAY! MANDY'S ALREADY MADE IT!!!
This just made me laugh out loud 🤣😁🤣
❤❤❤
Maybe do one of these types of videos each season? Like “our favorite what’s for dinner recipes from (insert season here)”. I really enjoyed this video!!
Good idea!
I 2nd that!
Chicken breast
Orzo
I love that your husband is your biggest fan and your son is starting to enjoy cooking also! Such a beautiful thing! ❤
I made the ribs tonight and wanted to pop in to say how delicious they were. My husband commented, "I didn't think ribs at home could taste this good." Thanks for a fantastic recipe.
Oh yes do this again! Love seeing Cole getting involved in cooking too.
You need to do a cookbook with all these amazing recipes. I just love watching your family enjoying a meal together.
My son watched this video with me. We've made our ribs like this for years, and you so right! They are the best! But when my son saw the pork sandwiches and the chicken and orzo he begged me to get the recipes and make them. I think you've garnered another fan, Mandy! 🙂
Oh my goodness. I had hit the like button early in the video but with each meal I kept trying to hit it again. Each meal looked soooo good. Loved how your husband was so detailed in describing the dishes. Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if people just "accidentally" randomly stopped over to your house at dinner time.
i love this episode format! it's a nice walk down memory lane. "the best of mandy's what's for dinners." love your family and this channel :)
Thank you so much!
I use to use that Jar of Alfredo sauce until I started making my own from scratch and its heavenly! I got the copy cat Alfredo sauce from olive garden and I been making my own ever since. Im not too big on the jar stuff so I decided to find a new recipe.
Cole is such a cool guy. You are doing a great job working with him in the kitchen. He's learning life skills, on more than level.
wonderful dinner is delicious,like,share
I am so glad to see you teaching your son to cook!
My daughter is coming home from college this weekend, and I'm making the entire Ribs/Macaroni/Green Beans dinner for her tonight. Yummmmmmmmmm
That's so so nice.god blessings to you and your family 😇💘
I wish her Mac n Cheese recipe was in this one too....looks as delicious as everything else ❤
Lol I love how great of a taste tester your husband is! My bf would just be like “it’s good” “I like it” 😭😆😆😆
Wow! That lemon chicken dish with the orzo is definitely one of the best looking and delicious meals I have ever seen prepared! You are an amazing cook!
If I could offer an idea for the ribs, while you’re doing the slow cook, add some apple juice to the pan and brown sugar then make your same bbq sauce with the drippings and juice. It’ll change your life I promise!! The way your cooking them I know your thought is they couldn’t get better but I’m telling you apple juice!! 🤯 it’ll blow your mind
I’m going to make this! Can I ask for the ratios of brown sugar and apple sauce? :) it sounds delicious
@@xoxzebra maybe about 1/2 cup of apple juice & 3 or 4 Tbsps of brown sugar
I agree I use apple juice also wonderful and they fall off the bone also.
@marae beck now that sounds tasty 😋
You definitely need to do a cookbook. everything looks so delicious 😋
They would have copyright problems. The recipes are not hers. She always gives praise to those that give them to her.
Mandy!!! Oh my gosh....almost 80k..wow!! So happy for you girl.
Yep Mandy, I used to make Ribs like this in the Oven and they're a winner!😋😋😋 They're easy, and they're fool proof.
Not for me 😂😂😂 I had them in at 275 for 3 hours 45 mins. My meat thermometer kept telling me the temp was 184 not tender enough. Back in then went for 20 mins more and now they’re to tough. Never again, I’ll stick to my husband smoking them.
I’m baking the ribs now...just the way you did them! I am so VERY HAPPY I found your channel Mandy! Next I will be making the beer battered Cod! Cannot wait!! Almost every single thing you make looks sooooo delicious
Your husband is absolutely darling - he really TASTES the food, talking in such glowing terms about each dish!💕
💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
Thank you ❤️
Your meals look so good. I especially love your plating, and how healthy and fresh everything is.
So nice that you’re son is cooking. My sons also learned to cook while they were teens. Their wives are thrilled. 😊
My husband loves my spaghetti sauce! It makes me happy to hear his "umm's", "oh, that's good"! 🍝🥰
I tried the Mexican Alfredo tonight with a couple of adjustments. Our son loves Cajun Chicken Pasta at a couple of different restaurants we frequent. So... I used Creole Seasoning instead of taco seasoning. I used Tony Chachere's mild version. I also used bite-sized chicken breast rather than sausage. I seasoned the meat with two teaspoons of the seasoning as it was cooking and added some green onions for a bit more flavor (besides, they needed to be used!). I put in some parmesan cheese and some mozzarella cheese in also. The amount I used is hard to tell, again, I just used the ends of their respective bags. It may have been a quarter to a half cup of each. We liked it. The flavor wasn't too hot, but just enough kick. Thanks for sharing this recipe as a kick-start to our dinner tonight! Dana
I just need to tell you how much I enjoy watching your cooking shows I've had six strokes and I love to cook so you've really helped me to keep a hold of my passion and I love watching Steve's reaction and Cole's you have a great family
Be well!
I love how your husband is so sweet and supportive to you! I like him without a mustache! He really gives you such sweet things said about all your food and ideas! Love it!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😇🤗
I live alone, and never know what to fix thats different. You have made my life so much easier. I can fix what you showed in your channel, and freeze portions of it. Thanks for the great ideas
Have you ever thought of making a cook book out of your recipes? I would love to buy one,It would be great to go through the book and choose your different meals
What a cute fam ! Cooking & enjoying eating together !! 😋
I like to watch you cooking your recipes best when your husband comes in the kitchen
This family always works in the kitchen as a team.
That orzo and chicken is going on the list for tomorrow
I'm craving it again too!! Lol
Would you say orzo is similar to making pasta or rice? I’ve never made it but I am dying to try your orzo salad with all the olives tomatoes and feta cheese
Laura orzo is basically rice shaped pasta if that helps 👍
laura holland Orzo has been hard for me to find recently due to the pandemic, the little stars pasta from soup or Mexican food aisle is a good substitute.
Sybil Harlow thanks. I just ordered some from Walmart pick up so here’s hoping 🤞.
I’ve found the easiest way to make ribs is in the pressure cooker and finished off under the broiler! Especially for these hot summer days 🥵
Yes!! That’s how I do it too!
I always watch for Cole’s opinion. He cracks me up.
Mandy, your husband is a really big fan, of yours. I just love that. You deserve it! ♥️🙏
Everything looked amazing!!! Yes, I would love to see another video of all your favorites. I'm getting new ideas from you all the time! Have a great weekend! : )
Thank you Jane!!!
I made lemon garlic chicken tonight with spinach! Whole family LOVED it!! Thanks! Love these videos!
Mandy i almost fell in the floor i was watching the vedio of the chicken with Pepperidge farm bread crums. Steven cut onto the chicken it squirted then he went to cut again it squirted again. I laughed so hard at his reaction. I had to jump in the bathroom i think the two of you togerther are a crack up. Just what I need. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you are doing.
It’s breakfast time here-Philly, Pa and I am drooling over these pork chops. Thanks for the recipe & to-do steps!!
Your husbands reaction to the first one was too good 😂, and I’ve been watching your videos for so long, your channel is one of my favorites! I’m so indecisive so I just follow you channel for my weekly recipes!
So nice to watch a cooking video that uses ingredients almost all of us have on hand. Thank you for that! Going to try all of them!
So nice that your husband is very supportive. And helps you you have a nice family.
I come back to this video for the recipes a lot. It still gets me every time you say “too bad buddy”😂 after Steven try’s picking the ribs 🤣
Thank you so much, Mandy, for sharing such great recipes. I love your enthusiasm for cooking and watching your family's surprised faces when they realize how delicious the new meals are! 😀. I love trying new recipes and know how rewarding that feeling is when the family really truly enjoys it. Enjoy every moment of it 😍.
You make such a sweet couple I love how he really enjoyed dinner...
I can't wait to try the cod fish recipe 😋 My family and the grandkids will like it.
I really enjoyed your five favorite meals. Please have more of those please.
I remember you saying in the beginning you weren’t much of a cook, but I
would say you’ve turned into quite a good cook now. You’re a real natural!
That fish dinner gets me every time. I was so hoping you'd pick that one. Great up load.❤️
Yes!! That one is AMAZING and we've made it several times 😍
I’m watching some of your random videos, because this is my new favorite channel for new recipes!! You have so many good ones! That butter chicken is almost the same as chicken piccata which is one of my favorites, so I’m going to try your recipe this week. Actually, I’m going to try all of these favorites in this video! :) Since you leave so many good tips, I always want to leave you one, if I have one. On the fish, if you have a fishy tasting fish, or fresh caught, you can soak it in cold salt water, in the fridge for up to 3 days before cooking. The fishier, the more days. Each morning, you’ll rinse the fish, and replace with fresh cold salt water. Just like a TBSP of salt. I’m just like you, and I won’t eat fishy tasting fish, and we do a lot of fishing. My favorite is catfish, which can be fishy, but with this soaking method, it tastes like a Walleye or a mild ocean fish every time.:) Hopefully that helps someone! Take care & God Bless!! 🙏🏼
Also, Swiss chard is easy to grow. Let one plant bolt, drop it's seeds, and replant in a row. Also just harvest the outside leaves to extend your harvest.
Wow all. 4 recipes that you cooked with the biscuits lookecd soooooo darn good mrs. Mandy show me more please.
You can’t go wrong with a fried pork chop sandwich! I like mine with hot sauce!
Totally agree 🙌💯
Mandy in the Making I love your videos
Mandy in the Making I’m new
I love how he enjoys his food!
I was blessed with 5 huge packages of ribs 50 percent off. I'm 60 and have never made these. Thank you for sharing. My dad warned me they need to be cooked slowly.... I always love how you improvise with ingredients.
I love watching you and your family and your food and gracie
I absolutely love your channel! Your quality and editing is on point. Keep up the good work Mandy. Watching all the way from Michigan😘
Thank you Erika!!
Oh my gosh, these dishes all look so good. And they are being added to my grocery list, for this week. You have a new subscriber. I love your sweetness and how supportive your Husband is.
In my beloved home state, there's a small family-owned restaurant that serves cod cooked this way, and they make their own dill tartar sauce. I'm very sure, though, they never put sugar into it--I never thought of doing that, but am going to when I cook cod again (my all time favorite fish!) That is one mighty appealing meal---they all were---and I've got some great ideas now for how to amp up my usually too-simple meals.
I only discovered your channel a few days ago, Mandy, and have been binge watching. I enjoy a number of cooking channels, especially ones that show how to make meals that are very good, but aren't necessarily expensive. I cook only for myself now, and I live on a retirement budget, but man, I do enjoy good food, so your channel is going to be one of my "go to" sources for such food and cooking ideas.
Made those ribs today and they are to die for. Will never make them any other way or go back to bottled bbq sauce. And so easy. Literally the best ribs I’ve ever had. I used baby back ribs and did 3 1/2 hr at 250°.
WOOP WOOP..sit down, get the popcorn. This is gonna be a good one!
Hehe, thanks Mary!
I just made the Mexican Alfredo pasta last night for dinner and it was phenomenal! I used chorizo sausage and don’t think I’d ever try another protein because it was so perfect. I’d encourage anyone who wants to try this recipe to try using the chorizo. It adds a wonderful spice to the dish.
Not a fan of Charzo. But I like to try new things so I'ld work with it.
Mandy, your channel is the best on You Tube. I wish I had your patience for cooking.
your hubby is the best! I love how excited he gets..what a nice guy!
Everything looks amazing you do such a good job have a blessed Friday ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thanks Diane!
Absolutely LOVED this WFD!! Looking forward to seeing more family favorites!
Loved this episode! I have a tip, if you don’t already know it by now. 😊 When you have to use a hand mixer and you don’t have that extra hand to steady the bowl (as seen in this video), take a dish towel, or larger, depending on the size of the bowl, and wrap it around the base of the bowl, nesting it. The bowl won’t shift and you can stir away without chasing the bowl!! 😊
Thanks Charlene!!

Mandy, you Really, really need to put all these recipes in a cookbook! You would sell millions of them. Cindy F.
I’m definitely saving this to watch again and make a grocery list. Yes, more family favorites please.
👍👍 Thank you!
Would love to see a series like this.
Thanks April!
The cod fish 🐠 is my favorite 👍 yummy 😋😋😋😋😋
This is the 1st UA-cam video that I have seen that I like ALL of the recipes
That was a particularly fun video. I loved the Cole got in on the cooking action. I think all young men should know how to make at least 3 meals they love before they leave home!
Do you ever use a meat thermometer off camera? Because you sure seem to get it right Everytime. My mom was like that, but I just can't seem to get it right! I'm 53, and you are teaching me so much! My mother grandmother and Aunts were all great southern cooks, and I always seemed to be too busy to learn. Makes me really sad now. Bit I've got you,!😁
That's such a good idea about young men (and women too) learning their favorite things before they leave home. You never know who will end up doing the bulk of the cooking once they settle down. I was raised by my aunt and uncle and even though their relationship was very old fashioned, my uncle did most of the cooking.
I love your recipes and I follow them closely. I don't deter or substitute until I have cooked it the first time. Thanks so much.
You are most welcome!
Your so blessed.....to have a husband who actually appreciates your wonderful cooking skills....hold him close to your heart for they are rare.
I am soooo glad to find this 2 yr old video bc I’ve never cooked ribs (I’m 62😮) and I love ribs!!! Thank you! I will be cooking ribs soon!!!😄😋😋😋
Yes please, love these videos 💕
Thanks Karen!!
Love, love your what’s for dinner videos. My husband loves your beef stew recipe. Before your recipe I made beef stew that was requested often . Our neighbor when we lived in Florida would drop by at supper time on Saturday nights hoping I made beef stew. Friends have requested my beef stew recipe. Honestly your beef stew is better.
I am so GLAD I found this
Girl. Her recipes look great and doable..
She is very good in front of
The camera. Her husband and son are also very important to the videos. Nice family.
Wonderful. More would be better of what’s for dinner !
I’ve made the Mexican Alfredo recipe (used Andouille sausage) and LOVE it!
Wait did you ever do a video on the Mac and cheese you served with the ribs!? I need the recipe lol
Yes she did. It's all the same video. If u type mandy in the making subbie supper mac and cheese, in the search bar, it should come up. I've actually made it a couple of times and it is awesome!
I’m sorry at first I thought this was a whole new video, I didn’t realize it was just previously posted videos added together I will check the video you mentioned thank you!
U are very welcome!
I need a “family favorite“ cookbook ! Ive recently subscribed cuz my college son is home and Ive forgotten how much/often he eats!!! Your recipes are easy and tasty. Lifesaver!
Wow! Cole looks so much like his dad!
Everything looks incredibly delicious! I will be trying these out. You do such a great job explaining. You could have your own cooking show on the FoodNetwork!
You are the only show I watch on UA-cam you're my favorite keep up the good work up the good work your recipes are delicious
I love all of these ideas! Definitely going to try them soon. Your husband is so sweet. He needs to teach my boyfriend some of those adjectives instead of “it’s good” 😂🤪
Kathryn Ba, my husband just says, "it's okay."
I know it's late but I vote for Steven's choice. I made this today and it's the BOMB. THANK YOU.
It’s good that your family is so close your show is so enjoyable thank you for all of your ideas
Mandy I just made the Lemon Butter Chicken and the orzo! WOW!! So good. My husband and I always cook up something on Fridays for lunch. This was delicious. Thank you! ❤❤
That is awesome! I'm so glad!!!!
If you opened a restaurant, I would be first in line!😁
Haha! Thank you 😘
Same here!
The chicken and orzzo is definitely something I'm excited to make my hubby and I! Looks so comforting for MN fall/winter 😜 that and either roasted veggies or salad
Hello. I just want to say thank you for your recipes but also for sharing your family on here too. You all are amazing.
Your husband is so appreciative of those ribs😂 too cute! Everything looks good
Lol they were amazing!!!
Just made the creamy chicken you posted last week for dinner last night and omg soo good my whole little family enjoyed it! Thank you!! Absolutely the best chicken ever! It reminds me of the Chicken from the chicken and shrimp carbonara from Olive Garden! 💕
Glad you liked it!!
for those who have trouble grabbing and pulling the membrane, a paper towel will help hold on to it so you can pull easier.
You are so REFRESHING. Just found you recently, and am so in love with your simply homemade meals. The beer battered fish AMAZING. YOUD BE GREAT ON FOOD NETWORK. Great videos including the family. Keep em coming.❤
