- We rarely remake dinners in this house simply because I'm always looking for new recipes to share with you! In this "Battle of the Bests" video we are remaking 3 of our all-time favorite dinners and re-ranking them! Spoiler alert: They are ALL still favorites, but Steven and I disagree on the rankings! Here's your dinner inspiration for the next week! Thanks for watching!

Gracie Lou messaged me, since I'm the mom of 9 cats, and asked me to tell you that everything needs cheese but, if you disagree that's okay but you really should keep some cheese out every meal to give her. She said she's always a good girl and even accepted Gideon without a fight, so she thinks the least you can do is give her cheese every supper. (I tried Gracie, hope they listen!)
Yes!!! Just go to the frig and get her some cheese! She won't be around forever! (Mom of 8 cats here!)
😂
Im dieing over here laughing so hard. Yes miss Gracie needs her cheese please 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes!! I definitely want to see another battle of the bests.
Battle of the best, rocks. Yes, more please. Hands down the chicken pad Thai is my favorite.
Yes, Please !! More battle of the best 😃
Yes please! More battle of the bests!
Loved "Battle of the Best" and I love you guys!
Thank you, everyone who is praying for our daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Our granddaughter will be making her appearance on Tuesday. Asking y'all to please continue to pray for them. Our daughter-in-law has had a few health hiccups this pregnancy. Thank you in advance. God Bless you and your families.
How exciting. I'm sending prayers up that Mother and child are safe with the delivery and after.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lord, have mercy… get a life…
Sending more prayers 🙏❤️
This was a great idea! Would love to see more battle of the best videos!!
Steven measures things like I do 😅 that feels about right. I guess i need to pull the food processor out and give the salsa a try maybe Tuesday taco night.
Steven reminds me of cowboy Kent when he’s adding the olive oil. “ you just gotta add it until it FEELS right! Lol “That’s it, right there!” I love it! I bet his salsa is fantastic. I absolutely love salsa! I eat a jar every week. And could probably eat more but I gotta watch my figure! Lol
Yes yes! Do the battle of the best again!!
Just a bit of a tip...”moisten” the paper towel first for the microwave cover on dish. It stays on bowl. 🤩👍🏻👍🏻
Best pepper recipe I have seen in awhile. Adding to my grocery list!
Steven thank u for the salsa. Gonna make this. Looks so good. Love Mandy's dance. Lol u guys are so cute.
Loved your channel
For years. My older dad and I watch your videos together all the time and it’s encourages him to start cooking! Just made the pad Thai and it was delicious! I made almost an identical salsa to stevens except I roast the tomatoes onions and jalapeños in the oven first. It makes the flavor even deeper and amazing.
Mandy, this was a fun video. Yes Yes please do these type videos often. TFS
My family and I have made that recipe for salsa (minus the sugar) for years, and there is amazing.
The dish of zucchini and corn is called calabacitas! I top mine with Jack cheese and melt it!! I am Hispanic so I love it when people love these dishes!
I use yellow squash in mine, it's good.
I don't know which is best - Mandy snorting at Steven or dancing with the salsa 😄😄
❤ I just absolutely love watching the two of you. Not only do I love the recipes but watching you and Steven together is such a beautiful, fun thing to watch!❤
Okay, I got distracted reading the comments and had to back up and watch this over again. I love you, your videos are on the top of my list. I wish I had UA-cam in 1960 when I got married, didn't know how to cook, and married a man who wouldn't have been happy with anything anyway. I learned, and then married a man who loved to cook. He would have been ecstatic watching your videos.
Marvette's French onion chicken is probably my favorite all time recipe you've ever made!!! It is so tasty and so easy to make! Mandy, I have made countless recipes of yours. You have transformed my cooking ability! I LOVE YOUR RECIPES!!! Yes, please do more of these battle of the best videos! Love from Texas ❤
One of the best parts of summer is making salsa with peppers and tomatoes you grew in your backyard. ❤
Love my Ninja too. Had it 10 years and keeps on ticking.
Yes, that would be fun to do another one. I'm making your chicken green bean casserole now. Although my chickens pre-cooked. Ended up having to change the way of cooking it in the oven. All the same ingredients though. Have a wonderful day.
I absolutely would love to see more "Battles of the Best" ! To tell the truth, I love watching all your videos! Love watching the two of you together!
Yes..would LOVE to have y'all do another Battle of the Best!! My favorites are the French Onion Chicken & the Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers. Got my mouth to watering on these meals. Thanks for sharing, Mandy!! Love Steven and his humor. Am glad to see him cooking with you!
Fun fact all peppers are coloured. If they are green it only means that they were picked before ripe and since they do not ripen off the vine they stay green this is for bell peppers and jalapenos for sure. So a red jalapeno just means it ripened on the plant does not effect the heat lever what so ever
Hi Mandy and Steven ! I just want to say that I am a Mexican American born and raised in IL but I want to tell you that I make my salsa with all the same ingredients as Steven puts in but sometimes I leave it chunky an not put it in the blender. It is awesome !
Oh gosh these delicious dishes are so wonderful and I really need to make all of them. I am also half Japanese so I do cook a lot of asian dishes, and my number one favorite would be the Pad Thai, and then the second would be the stuffed bell peppers and the last one is Marvette's chicken. Thank you so much Mandy for some more incredible recipes and seeing how much Steven loves all of the food you cook is so wonderful. Have a beautiful and blessed rest of your day and the weekend coming up. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😋🤗 😻👏🥢🥢💜💜💜
I would love to see more of these "Battle of the Best" videos. 😊
You know that stuff is good when the happy food dance kicks in😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Love the concept of the battle of dishes. I always enjoy watching you two in the kitchen. Especially Steven when he jumps in to help out.
Yes yes yes
FYI - it’s easier to just use a spoon to scrape the seeds and membranes out of the jalapeños. Or, a small measuring spoon if you have metal ones.
I would love to see more “battles of the best”! Watching you make the Pad Thai is about to make me go visit the ‘Lion and grab all the veggies! Thank you so much for sharing these! 😊 Poor Miss Gracie Lou- she’s telling tales about y’all again! 😂🌻
Love sweet little Gracie Lou!!
Yes, I would love to see more of these repeats to see if they still are or if you changed something about the recipe. Thank you for sharing these three!
This video was great! All of the meals look amazing. Stephen should cook more. I enjoy watching you guys so much. Definitely keep this type of series going!
I love your recipes and was wondering if you could combine your favorites into a cookbook. I would buy it!
I totally agree! What I love about Mandy's recipes is the fact that they are made with, for the most part, common and accessible ingredients. I am sure that she has a huge following of younger people that are newer cooks or just learning to cook. But, even for an old gal like me (71) I pick up a new idea every now and again.
I make a Pico Dr Gallo recipe.I use a can of rotel,a half a sweet onion,3 tablespoons fresh cilantro,half jalapeno pepper seeded and minced,1 tablespoon lime juice,1tsp garlic,pinch garlic powder, pinch cumin,salt and pepper to taste and mix all together. So good.😊
I LOVE that idea! Make it happen Mandy! There's a company out there that sends out a kit to put it together.
However, u need to dedicate some charity money to a kitty charity or ASPCA. We love kitty Gracie, so she would be proud to help (include her pics in the pages!).
I for sure would buy it- I would preorder and wait impatiently for it !!!
I’m sure she can’t since she doesn’t develop the recipes herself…she finds them. There are probably all of kinds of laws and royalties issues that would make it prohibitive.
I’m recovering from a serious car accident. I’ve been binge watching your videos so when I’m up and cooking again I have a list of what to make!! I’m also making a list of what to buy that you have recommended. It will be an amazing cooking marathon when I start. Thanks for all the awesome recipes!!!
I hope your feeling better soon!
I'm so sorry you were in a car accident, but glad you are on the road to recovering!!
@@MandyintheMakingthank you!
I love The Battle of The Best. Please do it again and again. My favorite was the taco stuffed peppers and Marvette's chicken recipe.
One more thing.
Your son is very handsome.
Thank you :)
I love that you say you can never go back to store bought salsa! My husband makes ours and MAN is that the truth. He does our Ninja blender and all. Now I am going to request it from him. BRB 🤣
That can opener was a lifesaver as my hand strength has decreased. I was so excited about it that I have everybody one for Christmas that next year! LOL
I watch Fallon's channel all the time and she is always making "Mandy's" green beans. Lol
I wouldn't be able to choose! Yummmm. Yes, please, do more of these battles of the best.
Yes I would like to see more of the battle of the best.
I love to watch "battle of the dishes". Love to see more please. ❤❤❤❤
I would love to see more of the battle of the best. I also would like to see Cole’s rating also.
Mr Emroy love your singing and the choice of your songs,...May God Bless You!!!
Love this battle of the best!!!!! Let's see more of this!
A commenter comment about the salsa, I am American Mexican,too and I have always made salsa just like Stephen. The only way to do it! And when tomatoes season is over. A good quality can of tomatoes will do, in a pinch. Great recipes, Mandy !
Gracie Lou said, "Living in Thailand is hard for Cats, Yo!!" everything to this human looks delish thought!! Thank you!
Yes please. I have been waiting for the Best! This has been great. That salsa looks fantastic.
All the meals sound delicious! I think I will definitely have to try the "common-tators" salsa. It sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦅
Really enjoyed your battle of the best. I would really enjoy more of these recipes. My favorite has to be the green bean & chicken casserole.
I love my Kitchen Mama can opener. Did you know…?after you tap the button to turn it off, grip the opener from the middle to bottom and pull down, your lid will come off because of the magnet underneath. That way we don’t mess up our pretty manicures removing the lid. Looking forward to making Steven’s salsa. Gracie Lou is adorable and always needs her cheese!
STOP it! I didn't know that! *Runs to pantry to grab a can to try this with*
Marvettes chicken is our families’ favorite recipe from your channel. We make it alll the time! Glad it made the list!!
My husband walked in right when all the ingredients for the salsa were in the blender looked up said “that’s about to be fire” and walked out. Came back later and was like I definitely need you to make that 😂
I love all three of these recipes and have made them several times! When I made Marvette's Chicken last week, I followed the directions up to the addition of the French fried onions. When I took it out of the oven, I pulled the chicken from the bottom of the skillet, and placed it on top of the green beans. I added a half slice of Provolone cheese on top of each thigh before adding the French fried onions. We liked the addition of the cheese and it plated up nicely too. I may try Gruyere to give it more of that French Onion vibe (but definitely more expensive.) My husband said it was good enough to serve to company! Thank you for finding such great recipes to share each week! I look forward to your video every Friday 🙂
The two of you's zest and passion for life,food, and each other shines through in every video and is a model for all couples🤗
That being said I have already added one of these recipes to my meal plan and planning to work the others in there too!
Yes, more battle of the bests. My favorite is the Taco Green Peppers.
Made the taco stuffed peppers for dinner tonight. My 17 y/o grandson said it was the best thing I have made. Didn't realize I was out of salsa so substituted Rotel for salsa and water. Thanks for yummy recipe.
Yes! Love the idea of 'Battle of the Best' and would suggest a monthly or quarterly 'Sides with Steven' feature. That salsa was just wonderful!
Nice!! Love this idea!
Oooh I like the "sides with steven" idea too!
Y’all I just made Steven’s salsa, oh my stars that was the best thing I have ever had!! Thank you for sharing.
Yay!!!!!
I love watching your recipes. I do recommend making your own broths with chicken bones. I make a lot with veggies scraps. You can with those spinach stems & other scraps you have it’s great then cool & use those scraps & put into your garden or yard where you are going to start planting soon to start fertilizing.
I liked the taco stuffed peppers the most! Stevens salsa must try yes!!!!
I loved it. I love the stuffed peppers the best and the pad Thai last. Y’all are so cute I love watching y’all.
Yes I would love to see more like this.
YASSSS!!!! Keep doing these! Pries me out of my rut of same old same old and reminds me of some different favorites I haven't had recently. I made your Baked Caesar Chicken the other night because it's a husband favorite. You also reminded me to make some salsa in my much older model Ninja blender. Hubs gets excited when I tell him Mandy food is for dinner. You haven't failed me yet. ❤
I love your show, watch it all the time, learning so much from you, thanks for making me a better cook. Patsy from NC
Thank you Patsy! I appreciate you being here!!
This was a fun video! I liked revisiting the recipes and watching Steven make his salsa-yum!
Hey Mandy, love your channel. I have cooked several of your dishes 😋. October 2023
The taco stuffed peppers were excellent, instead of softening the peppers in the microwave, i blistered them on the grill ( you could do the same under the broiler). I also used red,yellow and orange peppers instead, because my husband doesn't care for the green ones. It gave this dish even more flavor❤
Thanks for helping with dinner menu's, my brain is tired of coming up with ideas 😂😂😂
Steven expressions say it all!😋
Yes!!! Do some more battles of the best! Loved it!
I love little Gracie Lou. ❤❤❤ She needs some food mama.😂
Yes, really enjoyed the battle of the best.
OMG. Just made the taco stuffed bell peppers. Absolutely loved them, hubby agrees!!! Going on rotation. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! To the favorites video. I want to make all3‼️😊
I agree with Steven about the bell peppers. Duh it has salsa love salsa haven't tried Steven concoction yet but I will. Yes DO more of these videos.😁😋
Wow. I have purchased a lot of expensive salsas. So simple. I can't wait to make this.
Do a marathon. I love to watch you. I sit here and get hungry.😊
All three look great! I will also try Steven’s salsa!
I have made marvette's chicken since you debuted it and last week i got my mom to make it. She loved it. I make my own salsa as well, but not wiht olive oil, ill have to try that one! We also dont use water with our taco meat or any filling, i use Salsa only as it gives more flavor. I have to tell you, i have 2 cats, Anna and Bella and the min they hear your voice on my computer, they come running until they see Gracie on the screen then try and nuzzle the screen, They love her as much as T and i do. Uf you add a can of beans into the zucchini and corn and you have succatash! I cant have zucchini cause im allergic but i make it for my kiddos. All 3 of the recipes are awesome, but my absolute favorite is the pad thai. I love flavor and that one packs a punch!
These all look so good, the stuff pepper one I would just chop the peppers too and serve it with rice and refried beans with toppings on the side
I'll have to try Steven's Salsa! I still always make the one you did with the canned of fire roasted tomatoes. It's been a fave!
We have made Ms. Marvette's chicken and it was delicious. The taco stuffed peppers have been added to our list for this week's meals, they look so yummy and now that my hub has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, we look for low carb options. Tacos without the tortilla. Anyway, it looks great. Pad Thai looks good, but I would be the only one in my house to eat it lol, no adventure around here lol.
Girl! I feel you! My husband is a meat and potatoes guy! LoL
Thank you, Mandy, this was a lot of fun, I would love to see more "Battles of the Best". Have a fantastic week.😂😋 fantastic food
Awesome looking salsa. Never tried the olive oil, gonna give that a go. Y’all can freeze salsa also. Great to make your fresh summer ingredients last longer.
I think it's a great idea to have a battle of the dishes! As usual, I love your videos and look forward to them every week.
Hey Y'all your handsome son is great to see him and hear him . Steven your salsa is The Bomb!!😂😂😂
That salsa looks incredible !!!! Pad Thai is also a feast for the eyes!
I’ve made Marvette’s recipe before! Very good!
Hi Steven, first let me say, there is no wrong way to make salsa. Salsa is king! But for a fun change, try roasting the tomatoes, a whole onion and the jalapenos. Make your salsa the same way but with roasted veggies. It's delish too! Hugs to the Potato man. 🙂
I love the way Stephen measured ingredients Lolol but that look so good. All 3 dishes look so good. Don’t know if I could pick a number 1. Thanks for sharing 🥰
YES!! Please do the Battle of the Best!
Yes! I would love to see more battles of the best!
I vote for another of this type of video "battle of the bests"
Everything looks so delicious,thanks ❤️👍❤️👍❤️
Yes Mandy and Stephen, love this battle of the recipes! I am making Marvette's chicken tomorrow! Thank you for sharing these yummy meals😊
I really enjoy your videos and recipes. Thank you for hunting out these good and affordable recipes.
I love how you both show how much u love food! ❤. You truly can see and hear it in both of you voices! You make me hungry 😂
Mandy, I absolutely love your seasme chicken recipe. I make it all the time, in fact I cheat now and use boneless chicken wings and just put the sauce on top. As always, sending you guys much love from Wisconsin ❤
Love the Battle of the Best! More please.
