I had never heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich either until a few years ago in Missouri when I went to a restaurant called Cheddars. The employees raved about it so I tried it and loved it! Their version was the same sandwich you made but it was dipped in a batter, deep fried, and topped with powdered sugar. I don’t remember the dijon mustard on it so if they put it on there it must have been a little bit. I have been thinking about it ever since then, so I’m definitely going to give your recipe a try 😊
This is a great variety of appetizers! Homemade is always better than store bought. You know exactly what’s in it with no strange, unpronounceable ingredients. I think the cranberry pepper jelly is my favorite. But they all look delicious! ❤
Hi Kristin great recipes😊 A restaurant called Bennigan's had the best Monte Cristo sandwiches❤. I will definitely be making this dish and the Dr. Pepper Meatballs.
Really clever ideas & I loved your presentation. That already made cheesecake mixture is so good, just the right consistency. I've bought it a couple of times. Wishing you a Merry Christmas with your family.
That chicken dip looks amazing 🤤. Hot honey is so good. Thanks for the heads up on the red Tostitos with no artificial dyes, if only they’d do that with the guacamole ones too. I love monte cristos and your cheesecake parfaits are great, too. It all is 💖. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Just kive everything you do but really love no clue why finger and appetizers. Ty for sharing!!!!!❤ And heads up dollar tree has alot of name brand stuff these day from food to other things. Cant wait tor the next vidioe 😅😅
What a great video full of yummy ideas! Love your dishes and that you’re ‘real’ (e.g., the food processor was dirty). Keep up the great work! I really appreciate yoyr dinner, snack, and lunch ideas!!
Kristin I absolutely love all of your delicious appetizers you shared the Dr Pepper meatballs looked yum O and No bake cheesecake parfaits were just too cute of presentation I loved it. Happy Holidays from our to yours 🤗
I just wrote a comment about Cheddars! I used to live in Missouri and they had them there too. Now I live in Georgia and have been missing that Monte Cristo sandwich 😂
These all look wonderful and I’ll be making several of them. Thank you so much, everything looks beautiful and very appetizing! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a terrific new year!❤❤❤
Meatballs! I've added things to my Walmart delivery after watching this video. Especially thinking about New Year's Eve since I have Christmas all sussed out. Thanks, Kristin, Happy Holidays to you and your family, thanks for another great year!
Another great video! Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you make the monte cristo sliders again, consider mixing one part Dijon with one part mayo. I think you'll like that a lot more, and it will still complement the meats well. :)
There’s a locally owned restaurant called The Pod that makes a Monte Cristo sandwich and it’s absolutely delicious!!! It has a raspberry champagne jelly on it that is just heavenly!!! Your parfaits were adorable!!!!❤. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Some interesting ideas! You popped up on my news feed so stopped by! Your accent is lovely (im watching from uk) had to laugh hearing you pronounce Worcestershire sauce! What i like about your food is it is different sure seems it is packed with flavor and you dont load it with fat/sugar like i see some americans do! Buying processed party food gets boring year after year might try the meatballs this year w/ love, seasonal cheer all the best in 2025 from england 🏴
For the sandwiches add the 2 tablespoons of honey into some butter or mayo and mix it through. Spreads across evenly without adding too much mustard flavour. I prefer to use mayo but you could use melted butter
🛻🎄 Happy Holidays! I'm looking forward to making the sliders & I will leave off the mustard! 😅 that cranberry & pepper jelly is also on the make list!!
Next time, stop at a gas station to pick up a single can or small 16oz bottle of soda out of their cooler. Walmart has those small coolers usually near the checkout stations. Thanks for sharing these great ideas!!! I’ll try that first dip at New Years!
More sugar and less whipping cream would probably make the cheesecake taste more like cheesecake. Adding more cream cheese would make the batch of cheesecake filling too large for the same amount of little cheesecakes. Of course I'd it tasted really good and was loose enough to spread you could always put it in a pretty bowl with a knife or cheese spreader and just spread it over some graham crackers or cookies. Top with any fruit you like or serve with sliced fruit to spread it on and call it cheese cake dip
Oh honey. The monte cristo. I am so sorry you missed it all your life. Do the sandwich, 3 pieces of bread, so bread, turkey, provolone, bread, ham, cheddar, bread. Lightly batter dip and fry. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, Serve with raspberry jam, not strawberry, its a whole world of difference. I love your videos, its been great for ideas for quick dinners when I work late or want to have leftovers. Thank you. On the cheesecake filling, try adding a tbsp of sour cream.
You may never see this BUT for anyone having trouble spreading a condiment like the mustard, put a few tablespoons into a ziplock bag, snip a TIMY corner off and squeeze it over the bread. You’ll get a little in every bite without having to spread or add too much!
I have a question because I see this so much in videos…why do most people add olive to non stick pans to cook hamburger? The hamburger has all the fat needed to cook without extra oil & the meat doesn’t stick to the non-stick pan. I’m just asking because I see so many people do this & then have to drain that oil anyways. This is not in any way meant to be taken the wrong way, I am genuinely asking.
Next time mix up a good bit of mayo with some Dijon, fresh crushed garlic, hot pepper (the one with the peppers in the jar), salt and pepper together and use that as your sauce. I call it Awesome Sauce.
I don’t think Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I know there are all kind of movies filmed at Christmas time. I think Christmas movies should be upbeat. Who wants to see murder and sadness.
@@jenn366 oh wow, I'm sorry if my informational comment about if people serve food with honey to the public offended you. Also, I am a severely immunocompromised person, and not many people know this. Please, in the future, try not to be rude to people, especially people you don't know. That's a form of bullying and doesn't show a kind heart. Have a merry Christmas!

OMG The amount of Dijon mustard you put on the sandwiches 😂😂 yes it’s spicy!!! Every sandwiches needs like a DOT of mustard.
My new fave combo on a sandwich is Dijon mustard and mayo..sooo good! Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you, Merry Christmas!!
If you have a Cheddar’s in your area ( I know there are some in the Louisville area) , try their Monte Cristo. Delicious!!!!

Hot honey is amazing! Aldi has a dupe, so tasty. I love it with chicken, pizza, and most snack food!lol
These all look delicious and I'm going to try a few of them your fingernails are so pretty in this video
Aw thank you!!
Try Dr.Pepper in a coffee mug with a little bit of Lemon in it. Heat it up in the microwave until hot. Nice winter drink!
Next time, stop at a gas station to pick up a single can or small 16oz bottle of soda out of their cooler. Walmart has those small coolers usually near the checkout stations.

Hey Kristen
Hey!!
Say ball, bowl, and boil 😂
👍🏻🤤🤤🤤👍🏻
I don’t think Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I know there are all kind of movies filmed at Christmas time. I think Christmas movies should be upbeat. Who wants to see murder and sadness.
Also, just psa, be careful when making food for the public and using honey. People that are immunocompromised arent allowed raw honey.
Oh shut up
I’ve never heard that, thank you!
She is making it for her family and who are you to tell tell someone what to do

I didn’t know that and I am immunocompromised from a kidney transplant! Thank you for the information!
