It was 58° this morning & only climbing to the low 70°s -- y'all need to fly North right now! This is Summer weather I love, a light sweater in the cool & no AC thru the day! Hoping I can convince God to send u some cool breezes! Bless ur hot sweltering hearts! Still the simple dips look divine Amber, thanks so much! ✋️🏠🌳🐦🌊❤️❤️❤️
@@josiebare3007 Michigan, but I remember the same glorious weather in San Fran where my brothers family used to live. All the perfect things of both states but Citrus trees that grew in his back yard!
I don't each some of these cheese flavors but I still watched the video! thanks for sharing...love the blunders from you and Mandy...you are real people...🙌
Wonderful dips!! Love dips and salads for summer meals. The 4th of July is usually spent with kids and grandkids. The day is spent swimming,roasting hot dogs, having hamburgers,smores and all the other summer dishes. Evening we shoot off fireworks. Our summer plans are to get our condo finished on Sanibel Island that hurricane Ian took out 2yrs ago in September. We will be going down and working on it later in July. Praying no hurricanes come through.😊
I hope your condo is ok! I live in SW FL about a half hour from there and Ian was just devastating for Sanibel among other places locally. I was out there last month and it was great to see a lot of businesses have reopened, but still a lot of work to be done too. I’m with you on hoping no big storms come through the area this season!! 🙏🏻
I am making all three of these dips when I go down the shore ( that means the Jersey shore)with my three sons and their families on July 12! I can’t wait!
It has been really hot here in Tennessee. I am going to Clearwater the end of July and staying for the next 3 or 4 months. I have a new grandson and I will be watching him while my daughter finishes massage therapy school. I am definitely going to make all of these there!
These dips look delicious! I love watching your channel because I can always count on you making something Greek which is my favorite! I watch Mandy in the Making & Jessica O’Donahue. Love watching you three! Y’all should do a collaboration every season! Feta and watermelon are good together but you have to make it into a summer salad. Try arugula, feta & watermelon. It’s my favorite summer salad! Funny story about arugula, I did pick up at Walmart once. Opened my box of arugula to make a salad. Didn’t have my glasses on but thought I saw something. Grabbed my glasses and there was a grasshopper looking back at me. Yep, his eyes were wide open even though he was dead! Poor guy gave his life for a salad! Can you imagine if I did not see him? I would have to call my favorite summer salad arugula, watermelon, feta & grasshopper salad! 😆
its not gotten past the high 80's here in eastern WA-yet. My family loves wraps and I love making "dips" and spreading them all over the burrito then wrapping them up like a pinwheel thenjust cutting them in half. This gives my 3 girls with different tastes to choose what they want and have quite a few for quite a few days
Oh yay! These look great! Our big plans for the summer are happening right now. Our 19 year old son is home from the Army for 2 weeks so we are spending time with him. ❤ Feta and watermelon with fresh mint is amazing. I think a balsamic glaze would be amazing on top, too. Mandy and Steven are great!
Thank you so much for these recipes! I’m going to try them all! This summer I’m working extra making jewelry to sell at local markets. Every October my Carolina Dog and I head to Camp Fellowship for Carolinas in the Pines! So much fun and we get to catch up with friends from all over the country! Happy Fourth of July to you and your family! Your kitty is very cute!
Your kitty look so much like mine.Seeing her in your video got me so emotional because we just lost our sweet boy (Baby Kitty) a few days ago to liver cancer. It was doubly hard because we inherited him from my sister in law who passed away from breast cancer 8 years ago. He was nearly 20 years old and had a good life and we know they are together again now. Sorry to be so down in your comments but the moment just hit me 😢. On the lighter side, I absolutely love your videos, they are always inspiring 😊
I always laugh at food names for animals + I had a friend who introduced her cat as "Chop" & when I asked if it was abbreviated she said "Yes, Chop Suey, in case she didn't work out!" Needless to say she had teens who had named her - dear Chop lived to age 17 with no threats to her life! 🤭🤣
Omgoodness, that Caprese dip was so beautiful and looked absolutely delicious. I agree, that platter you made it on is also so beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a beautiful piece. Do you recall where you got it? Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes❣️
@@FeedingtheByrds Thank you, Amber, for taking the time to check into this for me. I certainly appreciate it. You’ve definitely got a beautiful dish. Someone gifted you a one of a kind treasure❣️
Fabulous recipes this week Amber. I always have fig jam in my house, I love it so much, so guess which one I'll be making first lol. All the ingredients for these dips are pretty much what I keep in the fridge during the summer. I like to make a medley of different salads and eat them over a few days. I stock up on cold hams, lots of different cheeses etc. I even make scotch eggs to serve with mine as well as the usual coleslaw, potato salad etc. Thank you so much for sharing xxx
I am a lover of any dip or easy appetizers!!! Its been so hot here in Georgia so anything that can be done quickly to get some food without turning on the oven, I am here for!! I have never had caprese (not sure if that's how its spelled) but I've been seeing it A LOT lately, so I think I will try it!! I don't have plans for the 4th; I've stayed home with the scared animals for years and just chilled and watch loud TV lol
Love these dips!! I am absolutely trying the caprese one on the 4th, that looks delicious! I actually made the goat cheese prosciutto and fig one at Christmas last year as a hot dip and it was a HUGE success! Everyone loved it. I agree that’s it’s amazing both hot and cold. It’s literally like a charcuterie board in a dip form! We live in SW FL and are trying to survive the insane humidity here by staying indoors mostly, which stinks, or going to the pool. We are heading up to Charlotte/ Ft Mill next week and are so excited! We want to move there hopefully next summer and are touring the area again. Then headed to Brevard after! Have a great summer and thanks for your awesome videos!
We just got home from Disneyland and Laguna Beach! So fun!! Next we have VBS at our very large church and I work in the children’s department.. I may need another vacation afterwards haha
It was 98 today with a heat index of 110. Last Sunday it was 102 but with practically no humidity, highly unusual for Georgia. Summer plans, trying to keep my poor garden alive. Fortunately, we have a big shade cloth to try to keep them alive.
U.K. have 6 week school holiday start end July till beginning sep. we go away also after school holiday. As granddaughter on summer uni break. Back in October for her. 😊😊
The weekend after the 4th I’m getting together with my sisters. There are 4 of us and we live an hour apart in different directions and one sister is about 2 hours away. I am kind of centrally located so they are coming to my house. One of these dips would be perfect for our get together.
It's 90° here and it feels like 104°. Yuckk!! I'm ready for Fall weather. Lol. We've been doing a lot of easy meals like wraps, veggie burgers, and etc. Our only Summer plan is to stay cool and get better. Both hubby and I have dealing with some health issues.
My kids and grandkids just dont care for basil. We eat it sparingly where its flavor mixes well. I wonder if some baby spinach would work well for this as well?

So good!

Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Looks delicious
Thank you so much!
These all look really delicious, and I will definitely be making them. The dish you used for the first dip was beautiful.
That was my first thought. The white serving dish was beautiful and looks very delicately taken care of!
We are fairly certain it was handmade so I am really careful with it!
Can’t wait to try all of these!
So good!
OMG all dips looks delicious 😋

117 here in AZ! That's all heat! Lol
Love the dishes you made!
Ahhhhh, Oh my goodness
Super hot here in Central Florida! Love these cool simple dips. WOW, you are friends with Mandy! Love her channel too!
She's the best!
We just got back from Florida. We will go glamping some. We are building a vacation home in the mountains. This will keep us busy.
That is awesome!

In September I will be going to Italy to sing with my choir.
How cool! I hope u get to sing in some big cathedrals! What a great trip!
Congratulations! What a great achievement ❤
That is so neat!!

Don't be sorry. Animals are a huge part of our lives.

I wish I could share it. I searched the internet for something similar. We got it as a wedding gift and I am fairly certain it was hand made pottery.

Yes! We pretty much always have these kinds of ingredients on hand as well!
I always mix cream cheese with the goat cheese to make it pleasing to everyone’s tastes. Goat cheese can be a bit much for some.
Love this idea!❤
Absolutely!

Caprese is sooo good! It's a favorite flavor for me
cool
We just took 2 gdaughters to Niagara Falls in Canada for a few days. August we will take 2 the other two Gkids to Black Hills.
Hard to imagine people went over those falls in barrels, isn't it? They're so beautiful & majestic!
Oh how cool!
They all look delicious! We love apps so will definitely be trying these.
Yay!
These sound so good! I can’t wait to try them
So good!
Love the shirt. I just got one ❤
If you're talking about the grace and cotton ones, I LOVE them!

@@FeedingtheByrdsoh nice! Do you like Charlotte better or Ft Mill? They both seem like nice areas.
Amen
I made your first dip using blended cottage cheese instead of the boursin cheese. Super yummy as well.
Oooo!! Good idea
I think your videos are getting better because we’re seeing your personality more.
I agree!
We just got home from Disneyland and Laguna Beach! So fun!! Next we have VBS at our very large church and I work in the children’s department.. I may need another vacation afterwards haha

@@FeedingtheByrds agreed, friend.
My kids and grandkids just dont care for basil. We eat it sparingly where its flavor mixes well. I wonder if some baby spinach would work well for this as well?
Oh absolutely!
Instead of goat cheese like you're saying could you use some Boursin Cheese
Oh absolutely! That would be delicious
😷💚
She's beautiful
Thank you so much!
Please make some keto meals
I feel like anything made here can be converted to Keto just based on leaving out the carb. But we don't eat keto so I don't know a lot about it.
