My oldest daughter hates boxes food she has to have homemade Mac snd cheese lol cooking is kinda my art learning to bake now . Last year I learnt how to make pizza dough , bread and ice cream .
Not many women are appreciated for what they do for their family but they sure do give you your praises.God has given you a beautiful family. Happy holidays.
Such a sweet boy! Great job Mama and Daddy❤️❤️Always look forward to your videos. My husband and I always enjoyed cooking and unfortunately myself and our 4 kids lost him to cancer in 2018 when he was just 46. He was truly an amazing man..a 5th grade teacher, loving husband and an amazing father. Thank you for sharing your recipes while sharing your family. It means more than you know ❤️❤️
Ahhh Cole was so sweet to you about your good home cooking. He acts like Steven and their voices sound the same! Hope things are getting better, good thoughts and prayers sent your way.
Just an fyi about the red juices from the steak. Those juices are not blood. It is myoglobin. Myoglobin is what gives the muscle its color, which with beef happens to be red. The longer myoglobin is cooked the darker/grayer it gets...And the muscle becomes dryer as well. But the actual blood was drained from the meat long before the steaks were cut. I just wanted to get that knowledge out there, for everyone freaked out, thinking people are eating bloody meat.
This video makes me so happy. It makes me happy that another company has recognized the value of your channel. Also, it makes me happy that by starting this channel it has given your family fun recipes to try and special memories.
The more of these video's I watch the more I am in Love with your lil family & the dynamic you guys have. You guys are all so down home country inviting
OMMGosh I'm drooling seeing those steaks! And in my opinion they are cooked to perfection! Lol..Cole, your comment to your Mom about eating in was soooooooo sweet! I'm positive it wasn't your intention but buddyboy I bet you made some huge Santa points!🎄💕😂💕🎄Hahahaha, Cole..."I just wanna give you a hug for making this." Lol Mandy, sounds like you made some major Santa points this week yourself! 💕💕💕💕
I didn't know who you were when you kept showing up on my channel feed, but it turns out my mother actually bing watches your videos during the day. I went ahead and subscribed because you're fun to watch, and your food looks delicious!
Okay, so I’m only 22 and will soon be married in May to my high school sweet heart, but at 15:00 made me laugh so hard and think about my life in the future. My fiancé wants a girl so bad, but I want a boy. And right when your hubby was pulling apart the sandwiches and your son said “I don’t know why you’re taking your time”, it just made me giggle and smile so hard because that is a moment that I can envision living in the next 16 years. Love the meal ideas. We are going to try the chicken, bacon and ranch sliders next week!! 😋
That literally made me cry when the comment was said" every night is better than a restaurant."that was so sweet and awesome..I am a pescetarian but still enjoy watching everything u cook..those steaks looked so yummy..💜
I'm a butcher here in Ohio! And it's always Med Rare in my house on steaks. My kid's won't eat them any other way. Lol I'm actually at work on lunch watching your vlog. And Lucy is so cute.
We see it on your face Mandy. Know that we are sending you love and hugs, prayers and good vibes. Share if and when you are ready. Just know we're here. Love ya girl. Take care of you and yours. I pray this Christmas is a blessed time and that all that you are feeling, gives you the peace of Christ. He's got ya!
You have a great son. I love the way he interact with your husband and you. Lol. I love your videos. Merry Christmas everyone. I hope everyone have a Great and safe one.
Yes. It is very versatile. It’s what I use in taco soup too. Tonight I sprinkled ranch dressing mix on the refried bean mixture but I’ve mixed it in with the meat and taco seasoning before. Ive also added frozen corn but the family doesn’t like that as well.
Thank you Mandy for all your great recipes especially for dinners. After 54 years of cooking dinners I was in a rut and making a lot of the same things. Watching your videos has opened up a whole new dinner experience especially for my husband. This past week I made your chicken cheese casserole, your ham and Swiss buns and honey garlic chicken recipes. I enjoy watching my husband tasting each one like your husband. This video has given me a new one to try for the coming week. I made your sliced cucumber salad with the Brianna blush wine vinaigrette dressing and we both couldn’t get enough. Thank you and I look forward to each of your videos.
This is my favorite UA-cam channel! Prayers for your family, as you're going through a lot! This has been such a tough year...for us too. Have a Merry CHRISTmas!
So happy to see a new video from you today! I’ve been praying for your family and hope things are looking up! Even through hard times, you manage to put a smile on your face and push through. I love your positivity and perseverance! ❤️❤️
Awww momma! That comment by your son is THE BEST compliment! We prefer steak grilled at home over restaurant any day. My hubby is a great griller and he always makes it a perfect medium rare. I love your videos and have been binge watching during this holiday :)
Lol I love the bloopers🤣. Lol I know how Cole feels, my sister vlogs all the time and I'll walk into a room, and there is a camera sitting on the shelf just recording away🤣🤣lol.
Those sliders looked Yummy 😋 and gonna try the taco 🌮 dish! Aaaaaw, Cole 🤗😊 that was the Sweetest comment!! Thank you for sharing I will keep you and your family in my prayers!! Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎄🎅
Oh my GLORY! I have got to have that steak dinner!.,.,like NOW! , all the meals., actually! Sweet Gracie, she was so enraptured by the whole thing! The looks on her face when you started the sliders was priceless! Checking into that meat box! I’m sending y’all prayers and love from San Antonio.
Medium rare all the way! And you are definitely beyond blessed with an amazing son. His comment was the sweetest! Hope things are looking up for you and your family. Still sending prayers. 🙏🏽❤
Mandy, all three meals looked delicious! I am making the subbie supper for dinner tonight. It was wonderful seeing little Miss Gracie too. I will continue to pray for your family. Our Lord will be by your side every step of the way. Count on his love and support to get you through. Love you guys! Wishing y'all a blessed and Happy Holiday season. 🙏🙏🙏🐱❤❤❤❤
I can relate to why you started this channel. My family eats too much take out as well. I work full time in another town 40 miles away. By the time I get home I'm too tired to cook. But when I do cook the meals are very similar to yours. I love my Instant Pot and crock pot. Lifesavers. I just adore your cat. She has the sweetest facial expression. Sorry your family is going thru a hard time. Its good to stay busy. They say an idle mind is the devils playground. Dont let him rob your joy. Cant wait to see your next video. Hang in there!
OK now I have made me a cookbook that I call Mandy’s Marvels!.. I like 95% of what you make and I’ve tried 50% of those. I don’t have an instant pot, I have an air fryer. Your combinations are just so good I love them. I don’t have a grill or a way to make a steak (That was my husbands forte) have not had a home made steak in eight years. He was a much better cook than me and I miss him everyday. Cooking for myself is challenging, but you make it easy. Thank you, and I’m praying for your family this Christmas season. God Bless!
Honestly love rare. My mom was a butcher, so we got amazing cuts of beef. As a teenager would on occasion sneak a semi raw piece while cooking. That steak looked like heaven.
Kudos Mandy u won a kid over for life. He loves ur cooking!! I wish my kids felt that way. I feel I am a pretty good cook but my kids are so fussy it's hard to please them.
I'm was drooling over the ribeyes!! That's my favorite. Look at those views and subscribers! So excited for you. That'll put a smile on ya face. Luv ya Mandy
Oh my goodness these recipes are amazing. I can’t wait to make the sliders. Thank you so much for sharing. Merry Christmas and God bless y’all. I’m still praying for y’all.
You’re such an inspiration! Love your family. My husband is a meat eater and loves steak more than anything so we eat it frequently lol. We love ours medium rare!
Love my Butcher Box subscription! Glad you have discovered Butcher Box goodness! Thanks for the great recipes - definitely going to become a part of my kitchen repertoire! ❤
Mandy I grew up on a cattle ranch in South Texas - there is a world of difference in grass fed/grass finished ..... I guess I am a "beef snob" because that is all I ate basically as a kid... enjoy! I don't marinade my steak but I am a T-Bone cut person myself - and I eat it RARE!!! Hoping things get better for your family very soon...
It was good seeing Cole, he just gets taller every day. I have done the sliders, " delicious ". Pray that the family is good. See ya next time sweetie. Linda 💕💕🥰🥰🎄
Hi, Mandy. Look at you using that Instant Pot like a pro. I remember the video where you showed it looking all menacing on your countertop...hahaha. Aw, Cole just stepped up his game with that remark. But seriously, Mandy, all your dishes look restaurant-quality after you plate them. They are lucky men and they know it by their comments and thumbs-up. I wouldn't miss one of your videos. The food and recipes are always on point, but then the wonderful interaction and personality of the three of you are just so entertaining and enjoyable. I know your family is struggling right now with events you can't share, but I really do hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. I love you all.
Oh goodness I see you made my subbie supper. I hope you liked it. I haven’t watched yet!
And now I have to make it for dinner to celebrate. :)
We loved it!! Thank you for sharing!
@@MandyintheMaking I’m still trying to get there. The small children in my house don’t seem to want me to watch it today!
@@MandyintheMaking finally got to watch it. I hope you gave Cole a hug for making it!!!
You did a great job! I’m so excited!
I got a Walmart delivery so I can make it .. great casserole!
That is so sweet- every night is better than a restaurant! He is such a nice young man.
Best compliment ever, that your teenage son likes your home cooking better than eating out! Winner, winner!
Your son prefers eating at home to eating in a restaurant means either you’re a really good cook or really good mom....or both! Best compliment ever 🙂
My oldest daughter hates boxes food she has to have homemade Mac snd cheese lol cooking is kinda my art learning to bake now . Last year I learnt how to make pizza dough , bread and ice cream .
When the kids like home cooking better than restaurants, you have won at life!! Best feeling!! 😊😊😊
You and Steven are not only husband and wife but are Best Friends! It shows on yor videos!
Gracie Lou said "this is bulls#$t I know that's CHEESE" 🤣🤣
Not many women are appreciated for what they do for their family but they sure do give you your praises.God has given you a beautiful family. Happy holidays.
Such a sweet boy! Great job Mama and Daddy❤️❤️Always look forward to your videos. My husband and I always enjoyed cooking and unfortunately myself and our 4 kids lost him to cancer in 2018 when he was just 46. He was truly an amazing man..a 5th grade teacher, loving husband and an amazing father. Thank you for sharing your recipes while sharing your family. It means more than you know ❤️❤️
Your boy is going to be talking about his mamas cooking for the rest of his life! ❤
Cole is such a sweetheart! He loves his momma!
When you repeated what your son said 🥺😢🥺😢🥺😢🥺🥺😭😭 tears of joyyyy !! And GOALSSS !!!
I love your channel! Your love for your family is so evident in how you care for them!
I love that your husband and son give you their input on the meal.
Ahhh Cole was so sweet to you about your good home cooking. He acts like Steven and their voices sound the same! Hope things are getting better, good thoughts and prayers sent your way.

Hi Lydia! Thanks for the great explanation! Merry Christmas! 💕
@@MandyintheMaking Merry Christmas to you too! Praying for you guys!
I'm about 7.4 minutes in and all I got to say is, when I laugh hard, I snort too 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve never had butcher box, but I buy all my beef from a local farmer who grass feeds and finishes. It’s by far the best meat I’ve ever had.
I love when your son peeks around the corner. And really, I've never seen a cat beg!
This video makes me so happy. It makes me happy that another company has recognized the value of your channel. Also, it makes me happy that by starting this channel it has given your family fun recipes to try and special memories.
Thank you so so much 🥰
Mandy. Another winner. I have been praying for your family
He's the best boy!

Awwwww, he sure does love his Mom! I have 2 boys in their 20's that made me wanna tear up when he said that lol.. That steak looks perfect!
That is for sure a sweet and loving comment from your son. You are truly loved. Keep smiling. Praying for you.

I made the beef and bean casserole today. It is delicious! We added the jalepeno and my homemade taco seasoning too. 😋
I’m glad you liked it!
It makes great leftovers too. Or easy to freeze :)
@@soobsessedwithmakeup it will never make the freezer 😋
Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family. Whatever, your struggle you are in my thoughts.

Oh my goodness what a great blend of you both Cole is !! Happy Christmas to you all !! So glad I found your channel !! X
That subbie super looks delicious. You could use this filling in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, on salads.
Thanks for sharing.
Yes. It is very versatile. It’s what I use in taco soup too.
Tonight I sprinkled ranch dressing mix on the refried bean mixture but I’ve mixed it in with the meat and taco seasoning before. Ive also added frozen corn but the family doesn’t like that as well.
And it’s just as good leftover too. ;)

Steak medium. I used to eat it well done! 😱 I love doing potatoes in the IP. It is sooo easy and the skin peels right off.
I have a 15 year old son. Recently he was asked to name something he liked about his mom. His answer, and I quote, "she gives me food" . 😬😂
LOL 😂
I have been using Butcher Box for almost a year now and LOVE it!
Miss Grace does like my dog when she hears the bag but I’m glad she is doin a lot better 😊👏🏻

Cole was warming my heart with all that mama love! Merry Christmas!
Love my Butcher Box subscription! Glad you have discovered Butcher Box goodness! Thanks for the great recipes - definitely going to become a part of my kitchen repertoire! ❤
