Another thing I do is make my own vanilla extract. I found that vanilla extract in the store is extremely high for a very small bottle. It’s so easy to do. All you need are vanilla beans and vodka. I take a large mason jar and add 10-12 Madagascar vanilla beans to the jar and add vodka to cover the vanilla beans (first split the beans so they are opened up). After eight weeks, the vanilla is ready to use. If you use several mason jars, you will always have vanilla extract on hand. While you’re using one jar, you have other jars waiting to be used. And the good thing is, the longer you have them sitting, the better the extract is. The main expense is the vanilla beans. They’re not cheap but if you buy in bulk, you’ll come out better. I use the Madagascar beans because, to me, they are plumper and make a better extract. I haven’t had to buy vanilla extract for several years now.
Great tip! I’ve been making my own vanilla extract exactly the same since the beginning of the Pandemic. I waited 6 months before using though. (Personal Preference) I still have beans in a rotating jar from 2020 & 2021. I also prepare at least two jars per year always in rotation. I’ve dried some of my vanilla beans and put them in a big jar of sugar and I use that for baking cookies and pound cake. It will definitely level up your baking flavors in all your baked goods. Try it, you will Never go back to buying vanilla extract again.
Trying to figure 🤔😕🙄 out why people are saying 5 cuts of sugar is too much. She's making 4 pies 🥧= 4pounds of sweet potatoes. It's really 2 cups of sugar for 2 pies . She also said this is the way her family likes it. I'm quite sure she's done this a thousand times. So Season to your own taste. So before you add the 5th cup of sugar just taste to see if sweet enough. This is a great recipe and I haven't tried this one yet but I do have my own version but this one caught my eye 😆🤣😂🙏😇♥️
Your husband is so funny, but you be serious about that cooking and I understand why, your food looks good! My Daddy was playful like that with my Mom, I miss my Mom and Dad! My Mother was from down South and she didn’t measure her ingredients either and she was a Great Cook! Everybody loved her food and she cooked a lot for the Church and other events for the Church and they really enjoyed her food. We, the Family miss her and her cooking!!! You put a lot of effort and love in that cooking you do! May “GOD” Bless You, Your Husband And Family!!!
I just wanted to say that this is the first time I've seen your show and I just love it and your husband is loving you so much, it's great to see people so happily in love.
I love your tip whipping the carnation milk in with the eggs together in the measuring cup (or even in a separate mixing bowl). That is a great tip! I never seen an online video (not even by professional chefs) do that. I will be definitely doing that for myself when making sweet potato pies.
I love my mom's sweet potato pies also, haven't tasted anyone's like hers either 😋. On holidays , the people in the community, would come over for her pies, our family was of 12 people. Most of the pies 🥧I have tasted of people, always used too much nutmeg, which over powers a pie with too much, the same with stuffing, too much sage. Mom's was perfect 🥰💞
I love how you said you didn’t want to talk over the mixer. I would definitely eat your cooking because you’re sooooooooo clean and safe in the kitchen.
Hey Donna ,good morning I just woke up and was looking at some old video and came across your and I Bake my Sweet potato Also because, when you boil them it takes All the nutrients out and Baking makes them Sweeter and also I put a little rum and brandy flavor in them ,try and let me. know what you think. . . .its really delicious Rita Wade in texas
Thank you Dude #1 for making your wife's breakfast. I remember my mom's sweet potato pies, and I ate my slices with my hand, no utensils needed. Beautiful memories of our moms. God bless.
Awww your husband is so sweet the way he was dancing at the end while eating his pie that’s when you know someone is a real foodie. Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤️
Yummy, from the first bite , U know if it is mmmm good... The way that you started with the baked potatoes, and your choice of ingredients... No doubt those pies are,, scrumptious....amen DINOMITE
I just came upon your page and I am so happy I did! Not only is your cooking delicious but your husband and you are adorable 💕 thanks for making my day ...many blessings to you and your husband
It's a beautiful thing to see you and your husband makes my day it is just so refreshing to see the love the laughter that is so important to have in a relationship when two people can laugh together that's when you know it works it works it always works when you can laugh together may God continue to bless your union
Remind me of my grandmother's thank you so much for bringing back good memories your husband so funny y'all are wonderful couple could not even fix their wives breakfast I'm proud of you girl we got a good thing
Im a 70's teenager.. I saw happy black couples, husband and wives all the time.. When you really love someone and vice versa,and they're for you.. then you're happy with them.. Oh and can't nobody throw down in the kitchen like us..Rare otherwise.. And Southern cooks are The Cook of Cooks!
What I love the most about your baking is that there is so much love and gentleness in your teaching. So many women bake with the, “mines is the best and everyone else’s is horrible,” stank attitude and it turns me off. I love the kindness that exudes from your videos ❤️❤️❤️ It makes me want to learn from you!
Looks so yummy. I like making my own pie crust. To keep the edges from turning dark or burning. I cut foil...turn it to make a curve and tuck it around the edges....works every time for a nice golden crispy crust.
Donna, God Bless you and your hubby, and best wishes with your cooking and sharing we us, love you and you too are so sweet and funny. Looking forward to more of your cooking and hubby clowning around in the kitchen, you two are an adorable couple.
I use whole nutmeg and grate my own because store bought ground spices will lose strength and greatly affects your finished product! But its important to note the spice each cook uses should be to taste preference!
I love watching you and your husband when he gets in your way. He is very hilarious and so funny. Thanks for sharing your food videos. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Heeeyyy Donna! Your pies look just beautiful! I'm not making any this year. Our recipes are very similar except I'm one of the people who adds a little lemon. It's my mom's recipe as well.
Damn it now your talking if I don’t have my lemon in my sweet potatoes and sweet potato pies then baby it’s not the best oh yeah you really no what you are talking about , and your on my level I tilt my hat 👒 to you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I can't wait to make this recipe...Sweet potato pies are my favorite....BTW, I love how your husband adds laughter to your videos...It adds SPICE to it as well.❤️❤️❤️
THIS sweet potato pie recipe is the absolute best! I made Two last week and they didn’t last 2 days. I’ll be making more next week. Thanks for sharing. 😉
ok let me just say yall two gave me life!! yall are two cute together! thanks so much for yall mama recipe Imma try it next time! oh Imma now triggered to checkout the rest of yall videos lol
Heyyyyy there LaRaya!!!! Thanks so much for watching our videos! We're just this crazy couple who love each other and our children tremendously and keep one another laughing allllllllllllll...... well MOST of the time! LOL! Thanks for stopping by!!!
you guys look great! I can tell you take care of him when he needs the Good Good! I miss being married to a Black Woman.. tThank you for the video. I just subscribed
I just love cooking with you, and your husband is so funny. I love him showing up to his job on time to test taste 😂🤣 I think different States used different ingredients, maybe depending upon what was available at that time. My mom was from Georgia and they didn’t use vanilla in her sweet potato pies just spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and a little cloves. Happy Thanksgiving 2021 have a blessed fellowship with your family and friends 😘💐
I do not consider myself to be a “good” cook because I HATE cooking! I like to eat so I am forced to cook and there are some recipes I have mastered and continue to tweak to make better and others I leave alone as I prepare them. Want to share what I learned in home economics in high school MANY years ago-that there are specific measuring tools to be used when following a recipe. The cup you used for measuring sugar is actually for measuring liquids. I do not like excessively sweet sweet potato pie. I would have used the cups for measuring solids🙂
You make your pies almost exactly like I make mine, I do swap out the evaporated milk sometimes with heavy cream or half and half. My Mom was also a southern cook that didn’t measure and I don’t measure either. Love you guys 💞❤️💕
Mrs. Donna, I love watching your channel, the chemistry between you and your husband is unmatched. ❤ I followed your instructions last night, and we are already one pie down. So delicious. Your potato pie will be my special guest for thanksgiving. Thank you for your content, and keep going.
I love all of your recipes I love the way you put them together I love the patient you have with showing step by step in everything you fix. God bless you keep on cooking loving and living for the Lord you and your husband. EJ
This is 2023 and I have watched this video every year since it posted and I crack up like I have never seen it🤣🤣🤣 I agree with everybody else y’all need a sitcom for real
Thank you for sharing your family recipes. I loved seeing your husband in the background interrupting in a good, loving way.This made the video more enjoyable. Please enjoy each other in the kitchen. Thank you!!
Sister Donna I love the way you and your husband show so much love to each other and to your family I love your recipes especially your eager and milk cake I made it for my niece birthday and it went over big with the church members love always keep cooking with love and keep God in your life. EJ
Thank you for your recipe!! This is my first time making a sweet potato pie, I usually make apple pies or cakes. Your recipe was easy and very detailed!! Btw: I loved how your husband would throw in his skits!! Have him in your videos to throw in a splash of humor, great balance!!
I watch your whole channel on UA-cam you broke in your mom🙏🏾 God bless you I am going to cook this recipe but this is going to be my first time to make my own sweet potato pie because me and my daughter loves sweet potato pie🍠👏🏾🥧🥧
Great job, that is how I like my pies, and it reminds me of holiday cooking with my mother. I can't wait for more recipes, love ya girl and thanks for sharing,,,..
OMG!!! Yall are too funny but I LOVE YALL both!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have me cracking up 1st thing too. 🤣❣❣ I know it's AFTER Thanksgiving and Christmas but I'm making me a couple of sweet potato pies for the house, I just have the taste for it. Thank you again for sharing. God Bless!!
I pray that everyone watching your video is as happy as I am looking at you and your husband enjoy that delicious sweet potato pie thanks for sharing this video with us GOD bless you and your family 💯🙏🏾❤😋
You 2 are so funny and sweet! You make your pies "EXACTLY" the way my Mother taught us. Thank you for sharing how to make a perfect and correct Sweet Potatoe Pie! GOD bless ya'll
I couldn't not sleep one night and I started watching your videos and thank you for sharing your story of cooking recipes I'm learning alot that I forgot again thanks
Thanksgiving at my Grandmother's ALWAYS meant sweet potato pie -- NOT pumpkin pie..... SWEET POTATO pie. It has been one of MY children's favorites as well and brings back so many fond memories. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful, delicious recipes & the beautiful memories these special dishes evoke! Bless your sweet heart for the love & goodness you share!
I'm back for the second year in a row for your sweet potato pie recipe! I had been looking for a recipe that used the exact same ingredients that my mom used for her pies, and I found yours. She made her pies by taste, so every year, that would be our time to put together a recipe. She's been gone for 2 1/2 years and this time of year brings back so many memories. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
You did that. I was beginning to doubt that your crust would brown when you didn't pre bake it, but it turned out beautifully. I will use your baking method next time. Thanks for the video.
I absolutely love you two, and I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you for your recipes and the laughs. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season. Stay healthy and safe.
I’m late to the party but you guys made my day! I am a new subscriber but I’ll be looking at more of your posts. Loved the pineapple and chocolate pound cakes. Can’t wait to try them!🥰
I love eating sweet potato pie, but the strings were always a problem for me so I slice, quarter and boil my potato's in water to eliminate the strings altogether. Baking sweet potato's is a great way to retain their original sweetness and flavor so I'll definitely be using this method going forward. Thanks!
If you have an Instant Pot or something similar (Instant Pot being a brand name), you can cook your sweet potatoes in that, so you don't have to worry about having excess water in the sweet potatoes by boiling them. They get placed on the trivet at the bottom of the pot, about an inch of water at the bottom, under the trivet, and then cook them. They're basically steamed.
I just stumbled on your channel and you and your husband had me in tears....he's so darn cute and funny! And despite all your complaining (about him), I can tell you both love each other dearly. I subscribed and now I'm going to binge watch all your other videos :)
I too stumbled upon this channel 2 or 3 days ago. I love how you are detailed bout your measurements and you take your time. Grady channel. I am hooked and I will binge watch also to see what I have been missing 💞💞😂😂
Love all your videos! You and your husband had me laughing. My mom made her potato pies exactly like yours. They are so pretty, and taste soo good! Thank you
Honey keep your husband in all your videos you both together is all love.your husband makes it funny I love y'all together everyone needs a good laugh and he brings the laughter keep up the good work
My favorite so far... your husband and your reaction to him in your kitchen had me laughing so hard ❤️ so glad I found your channel with your amazing food! Please don’t ban your husband from the kitchen, I really enjoyed watching you.... you’re adorable

Oh I love your style of cooking. It's hard for me to measure anything. I'm from the south also.
I love your style of cooking. Everything always looking so delicious
I agree they keep you locked in and the comedy is so cute 🥰
OMG...He is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 He was so proud about making your breakfast. I'm going to try my pie this way this year. 💖
Thanksgiving at my Grandmother's ALWAYS meant sweet potato pie -- NOT pumpkin pie..... SWEET POTATO pie. It has been one of MY children's favorites as well and brings back so many fond memories. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful, delicious recipes & the beautiful memories these special dishes evoke! Bless your sweet heart for the love & goodness you share!
You all are so adorable!!! He's so funny!!!
It's not the holidays without sweet potato pies
Love to watch y'all cook and you're a very nice couple happy people on the show love y'all
I'm back for the second year in a row for your sweet potato pie recipe! I had been looking for a recipe that used the exact same ingredients that my mom used for her pies, and I found yours. She made her pies by taste, so every year, that would be our time to put together a recipe. She's been gone for 2 1/2 years and this time of year brings back so many memories.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
When I saw you take the sweet potatoes out the oven, I said to myself "I like her already" lol
Heyyyy Stacey!!! Well I'm glad you like me already!!!🤣
Yes, baking them is better than boiling.

This makes me so happy 😂! Yall to funny and real👏👏💓
Heyyyy there Arie!!! Awwww I'm so glad you're happy!!!🥰😊
Why am I just now discovering this queen after thanksgiving😫😫😫. Listen I am making these pies for Christmas!
I am so jealous you and that pie. Thanks for sharing your mom's recipe with us.
You did that. I was beginning to doubt that your crust would brown when you didn't pre bake it, but it turned out beautifully. I will use your baking method next time. Thanks for the video.
I'm using it right now. Pies are baking up beautifully.
I absolutely love you two, and I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you for your recipes and the laughs. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season. Stay healthy and safe.
I’m late to the party but you guys made my day! I am a new subscriber but I’ll be looking at more of your posts. Loved the pineapple and chocolate pound cakes. Can’t wait to try them!🥰
Just typed this up for 2023!!! Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Those pies look delicious. They say you can tell a good pie by picking up a slice and the slice doesn't fall. Yummy!
I love eating sweet potato pie, but the strings were always a problem for me so I slice, quarter and boil my potato's in water to eliminate the strings altogether. Baking sweet potato's is a great way to retain their original sweetness and flavor so I'll definitely be using this method going forward. Thanks!
If you have an Instant Pot or something similar (Instant Pot being a brand name), you can cook your sweet potatoes in that, so you don't have to worry about having excess water in the sweet potatoes by boiling them. They get placed on the trivet at the bottom of the pot, about an inch of water at the bottom, under the trivet, and then cook them. They're basically steamed.
Always string the potatoes after cooking them:
Putting the blender on the potatoes after boiling or baking to pull out strings,then add ingredients
I just stumbled on your channel and you and your husband had me in tears....he's so darn cute and funny! And despite all your complaining (about him), I can tell you both love each other dearly. I subscribed and now I'm going to binge watch all your other videos :)
