The first recipe looked delicious! ❤
In a few videos you’ve mentioned you have a Pinterest account but every time I search for you I can’t find your page I see a few recipes but no page. What am I doing wrong.
What a blessing you are to your in- laws. It’s easy to talk about doing the Lord’s service until the rubber meets the road. Taking care of others is complete dedication. You truly have a servant’s heart. God bless you Mel
💕🙏💕
Sunday evenings with Momma Mel is my favorite way to relax before the crazy week starts. These all look delicious! Thank you!!
Thank YOU so much for watching ❤️
Yes mine too!
Mine too
Absolutely! Feels like she's in my kitchen with me....with real family meals.
In your merchandise can you offer a spoon that says "yay much"? Loved this episode. I appreciate you helping older family members, it's a special kind of doing unto others.
I love it! I definitely need that and something that says, "It's rustic!" LOL for all my ugly food that tastes great! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel yes, rustic! Definitely describes my cooking!
Love this idea! 'About yay much' 😅😂
One of my favorite things about Sunday's.. Momma Mel's videos. Everything she cooks looks and sounds so delicious.
Hello Mrs Alma, How are y'all doing tonight?We are doing well.Love y'all.We are getting ready to get a Aldi's grocery store here the first of the year.Love from Lula Mae and Family.💞🥰💕
@lulamcrae2851 we're continuing to pray for y'all too. We're doing pretty good. Love y'all too, sweet friend.
Thank you so much sweet friend, have a great week!
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel you're welcome, Aunt Mel. Thank you, you too.
Hey hey sweet Alma! I hope my prayers are helping u get thru ur present Crohns trial & Tony is holding on til his surgery?!! Life is so unpredictable sometimes! Lmk how u all are doing ok?! Love u sweet friend!
🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry to hear of the sickness in your family. Hope this finds her feeling much better. I make my chicken and dumplings like my granny and mom did. I make my dough with Formula L and milk. I make more of a drop dumpling. It's thinner than biscuit dough...but a bit thicker than pancake mix. I cook the chicken and add broth, butter, salt and will pepper the top of the dumplings. I have the broth and chicken boiling and drop the dough in by tablespoons. Pepper the top and cook them until done. The texture is that of a light, fluffy biscuit. Yum. Hope you have a great week ahead and God bless!
Can’t wait to try these recipes. I love using the crockpot.
Me too, it's been a life saver these past few months
Of course, you’re the favorite of favorites ❤ Bless your heart, it’s so wonderful to hear that family is helping family, this is what I was raised to do, but unfortunately it’s not common anymore. Love you so much, congratulations on the wedding and praying for Patrick’s parents! Happy Thanksgiving early and blessings on your entire family 💗💗🙏🙏thank you for sharing life with us, I enjoy every video!
I love how us southerners pronounce 'high' as a two syllable word!!! Good Sunday night as usual 😊
🤣❤️👍🏼
LAast night I put onions, celery & carrots in my rolled flat dumplings with chicken. For the first time I added some cream of chicken in the chicken stock. I made 200 dumplings. Hubby said it is the best pot I ever made.
The only veggies in chicken and dumplings were onion and garlic, and maybe celery... unless it was chicken dumpling soup... then it definitely had celery, garlic, carrots, and green pepper and more broth. 😊
Its so comforting to hear someone talk the same way you do...the pumpkin pie spice ..about yay much.❤️ The pie will definitely be on my Thanksgiving table... 😋 Yum.
It's comforting to me to know that, too ❤️😊 thanks so much for always being here with me
I enjoy your videos so much. A big part of the joy of cooking is creativity. If you want to add peas and carrots then that is your way of making your chicken and dumplings. I'm a 73-year-old Kentuckian. I was fortunate to grow up going to visit my grandparents, great-grandparents, great-aunts, and great-great aunts. All the women were wonderful southern cooks. When they made chicken and dumplings, they started by going out back to the hen house and getting a chicken. (They all lived on farms.) None of them every had veggies of any kind in the chicken and dumplings. They served bowls of fresh veggies in the summer and home-canned veggies in the winter.
I don't remember ever having veggies in chicken and dumplings but I think I would like it that way. I liked all of the recipes you fixed in this video. I love crock pot ideas.
Oh my those chicken and dumplings look amazing thanks for sharing.
Oh Mrs .Alma i forgot to tell you we are getting ready to get a Aldi grocery store here.Sending continued prayers,love y'all from Lula Mae and Family.💕🥰💞
That's good to hear, friend. We appreciate all the continued prayers. We're continuing to pray for y'all too.
Oh Lula Mae, u are gonna feel the blessing of God in ur grocery shopping! I can't tell u how exciting it is to know they guarantee everything too, just like Trader Joe's! SO happy to hear ur getting Aldis! 🙋♀️🎃🌻❤️🍁
Hey Mel,👋🏾‼️
You make cooking “FUN “!
You cook with L❤️ve”🥰
Thanks for sharing 🫶🏾🙂
Oh my! These all look delicious!! Thanks, Mel. I now have some new recipes I'm looking forward to trying this Winter. I use my pizza cutter too, to cut my dumpling dough. Works like a charm. I'm going to try your Granny's tip of salt and peppering the dough. I've never done that. We never added veggies but I like the idea of adding the peas and carrots. Comfort food for sure. 💗
I was thinking pot pie also when you put the peas and carrots in... it looks yummy!
I can't even begin to thank you for the crockpot recipes! I was married for 25 years and now I've been divorced for two years and I live on my own. I have no interest in cooking for just myself and I have a bad habit of grabbing fast food on the way home from work every night. I'm looking to use my crockpot and cook enough for two so I can take leftovers to work the next day. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes! I appreciate it so much!!
Rather than buying pre-mixed spice concoctions, I prefer to buy granulated garlic, granulated onion, and mixing those together and adding some fresh-cracked pepper to the mix. Use salt as you prefer and in the long run, this is cheaper than the pre-mixed stuff. Love your channel!!
That's a great tip! Thanks and thank you for watching too, I appreciate you!
Love these recipes Mel!!! You are such a sweetheart!!! Thanks so much for keeping us in simple delicious recipes for the crock pot 😀
Oh Momma Mel! God bless you! You never,ever disappoint! I don’t know what to try first but I believe it will be the chicken and dumplings!! My very favorite ! I can’t wait to try the dumpling trick! Genius! The dessert looks great and I have everything here for that too. One of the many reasons you are my fav you tube personality! Things you have in your pantry even tho the kids are grown & have family of their own now. I so wish they were closer in distance. Would love to have Sunday dinners etc. They are both wonderful 21:46 and come running if we are in need. So blessed! Soon the table and our hearts will be full at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Life and much love around the table. Well worth the exhausted Grammy and PaPa for sure. God bless you and prayers for your family! ❤
Mel that first recipe I've been making for years except my cheese was Monterey Jack. I'm really looking forward to the Swiss & the Rotel! Have a fabulous week!
I don’t remember Mawmaw ever putting any veggies but we did do biscuits for the dumplings. We also used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup in dumplings. Delicious! I love all your recipes, thank you for the recipes you share and your time!
I’ve never heard of Auntie Nonos till I watched you and Mandy in the making. You said that it’s salt, garlic and onion powder, so I made my own but I used season salt instead of salt and man oh man is it good!!! ❤ watching your videos
Oh yum.... that's a great idea! Equal parts of all 3?
@ibrockinrobin67 yes ma’am
That's awesome, I always encourage people to make everything their own. And it's just amazing how much a few simple, inexpensive seasonings can improve the taste of anything! 😊 And I appreciate you being here so much 💓
I just love the way you present yourself. You seem like such a cozy person to be around. ❤
Looks delicious,I hope everyone is feeling better soon 🤗💖
Thanks Mama Mel for sharing all of the delicious looking recipes with us. Y'all be blessed and have a wonderful week.Love from Lula Mae and Family.💕🥰💞🌹
Thank you friend, and hope you have a blessed week too!
Hi Mel! You are speaking my language tonight! I would love to use my crockpot for every meal if I could get away with it. I especially enjoyed watching you tonight because I already have all of these ingredients. Guess what we will be eating this week!
Hi Mel great recipes have a blessed week❤
Thank you so much Janet 😊
My Mama Rosie’s chicken and dumplings were the best and she didn’t put vegetables into them. Gotta agree with your father in law on that 😀. She made them completely from scratch, and she did make the rectangle shape like you did (so do I). She had an old, soft cotton bedsheet that she kept in a flour container and that’s what she rolled them out on. Now, her son, my father, did occasionally make them from biscuits and cream of chicken soup and they were still very good, but he also didn’t put vegetables in them. I, too, do not put vegetables in them. But, if you had offered me a bowl of yours, I would have been very happy to have them! 😀.
I like vegetables in all my meals. I think chicken and dumplings is one of those meals that add in what you have. Since I’m the momma you’re getting veggies in your dumplings. 😂 I enjoy watching your videos. 💕
Hey Momma Mel. These look so delicious. I enjoy watching your channel so much.
Thank you friend! I appreciate you so very much ❤️
My Memaw (grandma) raised me. She would put veggies in with her chicken and dumplings in hers if she had them, if not they still came out great. Same way with her chicken noodle soup
You know how we are always looking for new chicken or crock pot recipes. I'm super excited to try that first one because it looks like the perfect combo. 😊
It was really flavorful, kinda hard to describe... not exactly what I expected it to taste like but great
I could just listen to you speak all day. You have such a calming voice and comforting accent. ❤🙏
Hey hey sweet friend ❤❤. I'm so excited for these!! I lovey crockpot cooking!!
Hey friend ❤️ me too, this crockpot had been my best friend these past several weeks
The only veggies in chicken and dumplings are the onion and celery, but the next time I'm going to add the peas and carrots! The more vegetables the better. Thank you for the tip.
Each and every recipe you featured is just so delicious looking. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share these with us. 😊
❤️-Brenda in Virginia
Hey Mel, I have never made Chicken & Dumplings, but ur the chef and adding veg is always a healthy boost, so I'll prob add them too! I just love how they "cook" in just steam & indirect heat! That stuffing recipe looks delish too, so if I cant afford Turkey, I might just sub that! I sure hope ur kin gets better ... saying prayers & asking God to bless u all. Have a beautiful week, we're gonna get to a balmy 54° this week! 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️
I think you'd like this alot, I liked it almost as much as the regular crockpot chicken and stuffing I make in the crockpot. And hope you give the chicken and dumplings a try, they were great. Thanks so much for remembering my family in your prayers, we've been hit pretty hard the last few months with some hard diagnosis and other unexpected illnesses, and I know my family is just one of many walking these hard roads together. We just do the best we can to take care of our loved ones, trust in the Lord, and keep our chins up. 👍🏼😊🙏 I just don't know what people do without the Lord and family to lean on, good times and hard ones, too. I appreciate you friend ❤️
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Awe, I didn't know u have had many things, u know what they say they usually come in 3's & 7's, hoping it's 3's for u all! It is trying to go thru deep valleys, but I couldn't agree with u more, it's all gonna turn into one blessing after another when Jesus turns it together for good! I'll keep u close in my heart and prayers this week, sweet Sis! I'll be hoping that ur burdens get lighter every day! Sending love & hugs, 🙋♀️🎃🌻🍁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm going to make ALL of these recipes over the next couple of weeks. and you're right Mel, found all the ingredients waiting in the pantry. thanks again❤❤❤
Thanks for the yummy recipes.
In the description of the Caramel Pecan Turtle Pumpkin Pie it states the pie is decedent. 😂 I bet it is decadent.
Lol, honey, this ain't a spelling channel 🤣🤪 why didn't spell check have my back 🤣
I had actually made chicken and dumplings in the crock for the first time today. I usually make them on the stove. I’ve never had chicken and dumplings with vegetables before. My family and everyone else I know cooked them with just chicken and dumplings. The vegetables would be a nice addition every once in a while. These crockpot recipes look delicious. I just added a couple of new crockpots to my collection and have been using them several times a week now. Love your channel.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words, and you are a woman after my own heart adding those new crockpots for the holidays 😊
I have just 2 crockpots, but can't use both at the same time in my kitchen. How do you do it for the holidays?
My grandmother made her dumplings with just dark meat chicken and broth. I was never a big fan of dumplings, no matter how they were made, but my mother loved them and made hers the same way.
I had never heard of veggies in dumplings, it was more like biscuits and chicken with chicken gravy on it!😊
😊About chicken and dumplings. My Grandma added carrots and celery. The dumplings were essentially Bisquick drop biscuits. I love that kind of dumpling the best even now.
Mel
What an angel. Like each of these recipes. Dump and go is perfect for the holidays or any day. I do not know which one to try first.
Loved the addition of peas and carrots in your chick and dumplings. I'm raising my 2 grandsons and always looking for ways to get veggies in our meals. So glad i found your channel!
Thanks Mel, 😊 your food looks so scrupulous all the time. I love crackpot cooking. It's so easy. It's good to come home to a dinner ready to eat. Especially when it's called out. Blessings
Thank you and you are so right 😊
Never had the vegetables in my chicken and dumplings either lol that makes it like a pot piebut i love peas and carrots so im sure it was delicious 😋 😊❤
I about fell off my chair when you put the chicken broth in the first recipe. I'm gonna try the cheesy chicken without any chicken broth. I've made a similar recipe in the oven. There's plenty of liquid with the onions. The Rotel liquid, the tomatoes, the butter in the stuffing and the cream of chicken soup! Thanks this looks great. Love the chicken n dumplings recipe too.. with veggies
I don't know if I've ever commented before but I do enjoy your videos. They remind me of home. Makes me want to cry, actually, because I miss my people in the little town where I grew up and the home cooked meals we shared.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mel!
Mom always made her dumplings without veggies. She also made butter dumplings. Im going to try the pie, going to try and make it sugar free. Hope it works❤❤❤❤
Butter dumplings sounds like something I'd be down for 😊👍🏼 and I bet it will turn out great with the sugar free versions of the ingredients.
Oh, I would LOVE to hear the results for the sugar free pie version. I'm diabetic so no desserts for me... and that means nobody else gets them either. 😂
Sue here: I am making that pie, Mel, for our upcoming pie party !!! 🥧. The crockpot suppers look delicious too. Thank you so much. 🧡
That Hawaiian stuffing mix from ALDI is so good, I just had it last night for the first time and I’ll definitely be getting it again. I just got a new slow cooker, definitely want to try some of these 😊
I want to try it again, just on its own, but it was delicious in this recipe. 😋
What delicious looking dishes!! Especially that pie!!❤😊
Thank you for all the awesome recipe ideas. I used to eat meat and family is vegetarian due to allergies. I love the thankful and loving personality you give everyone. God Bless always to you and your family as my own just started watching. We have been watching back eposides this week and know how to alter stuff vegetarian. My husband was raised in the south and Served the USMC when we meet through chatting online after 9/11 as pen pails. We have been married 20 years together longer. We have an adult child with autism and I am disabled which happened during a freak accidental fall during Covid. My husband was craving more southern style meals and glad we found you. I had some ideas but now expanded my horizon more of oh yeah I can replace this and that. Thanks again and even my son relaxes from spectrum effects watching. He keeps telling me mom she's very calm and can we try that but replace this and that. Tamale Pie and Chicken and Dumplings with some changes think are right up my husbands alley. Sorry long reply to an old post.
Love your humor in the kitchen Mel..😅😂❤ never do bake but enjoyed that pie for the holidays.. Will try for sure..
My grand in college is learning from u to make crock pot meals..
Makes her life easier and she freezes leftovers..
Thks Mel.. Your fan here in SW Texas🎉🎉🎉
Happy Sunday momma Mel I hope everyone in your family do well.all your recipes look so yummy. Have a good week
My great granny always used celery, carrots and onion in hers, but that was so it flavored the stew and extended the pot. She was one of 12 kids… so that’s how we make it too.
I love dump and go recipes, thank you. OH that pie looks delicious
Our chicken and dumplings always had celery, onion, peas, and carrots in it so that it was a complete meal all on its own. That way we only needed a big bowl of it and a spoon. Little bity clean-up and no fuss. My mom used to make the dumplings from Bisquick drop biscuits. They were great too!
Oh my yum...that pie!!! I am making it for Thanksgiving Dinner!! 😋😘
It was delicious 😋 perfect for Thanksgiving and so easy. Plus you can make it a day ahead! Thanks for watching and hope you have a blessed week friend 😊
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Yes indeed, it looks amazing!! Yummy, and thanks for sharing all of the recipes! I hope you have a blessed week, too, sweet friend! ❤️
Growing up, I never had vegetables in my chicken and dumplings. Nobody I knew put them in there, including the onion and celery. Just yummy chicken and that thick wonderful gravy. Problem is, I’ve never made a good pot of dumplings! I’ve tried!
I loved that pie, got to have it soon! I loved all your crockpot recipes tonight. Especially the chicken and stuffing. I need to shop at Aldi!
Blessings for the week ahead, and prayers for Patrick’s parents. ❤
Great recipes!
I love my crockpot, can’t wait to try them ❤
Y’all love dumplings so much, I think you and yours will really love matzah balls! Get a pack at the grocery store, probably with the ethnic items, follow directions and enjoy! They also don’t cloud up the soup as much…❤
My grandma made chicken and dumplings (home-made) all the time and we loved it! She did not include any veggies. But, I do sometimes and the fam loves them with our without.
My momma and grandma didn’t put vegetables in theirs and I never did either but I liked the idea of vegetables and maybe some taters too either way would be delicious love your recipes and watching you make it so easy just so down to earth a true family way of cooking not like some of the cooking shows I use to watch in the Food Network thank you for your show don’t change anything of how you cook God bless you and your family and have a Happy Thanksgiving
Well thank you so very much for your sweet comment, your kind words mean the world to me. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too 😊
I very much look forward to your videos on Sunday evenings. You are my favorite RUclipsr Momma Mel ❤
Awh, thank you! 😊 I appreciate you being here every week ❤️
I cannot wait to try these recipes! Winner winner Mel!!! God bless you
It’s always a pleasure to watch you. Can’t wait to try these❤️🙏
My grandma never made chicken and dumplings, but I am a grandma now, and the grandkids and I love mine with peas and carrots. Going to try your dumplings!
Mel!! Your killing me with the desserts. 😅 I'm diabetic. My mom made the pumpkin cake with sweetened condensed milk and caramel from a few weeks ago. Everyone (except my hubby) asked for that on Thanksgiving. This pie looks just as yummy. How to decide? I've eaten, but never made, chicken and dumplings. I want to try all 3 of today's recipes. Thank you for sharing all your yumminess!!
Hi Mel, Tuesday night I fell and broke my hip. Could you please put me on your prayer list. I love watching you on you tube. You are such a blessing to me. God bless
Bless your heart, I sure will be praying for you. Take care of yourself and I pray for a complete and speedy recovery 🙏 ❤️
Thank you so much, Mel!! All 3 recipes are going in my recipe box!! I love chicken and dumplings and that pie looks scrumptious!! And I love tex-mex as well! 😘
Honey, this one was for you then! Thanks for watching 😊
Oh my goodness...that pie!!! ❤. Have a happy Thanksgiving Momma Mel!!! Love your videos!!! ❤
All of these looked so good. My mom always used the canned biscuits for the dumplings. I love them cooked like that. I think she added veggies. I really don’t think I can pick a favorite from this video.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your kind words and hope you love em all 😊
I adore chicken and dumplings but my mum uses her mum’s recipe for dumplings and does the drop method as it is more like a fluffy biscuit and she puts veg in hers but either way it’s damn good and I look forward to your videos every week
Ohhhh the putting the biscuits in a bit of flour is such a great idea girl!!!! I've done just the biscuits alone and they get a slimy texture. This would totally help with that. I know what we're having for supper tomorrow night. We are expecting a cool rainy day tomorrow so perfect chicken and dumpling day! Thank you!!! 😘👍😘
Mamma Mel you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs !
You've really inspired me the last few weeks. I love your spirit. So sweet and fun. Remind me of my Mama.
Thank you so much for having the onions already chopped up. I hate watching folks chop onions or celery. Unless it has to be done a different way, don't show it being chopped. I love these recipes, I will be trying them.
The dumplings looked delicious and I’m definitely making the pie for Thanksgiving!! ❤
It's always so fun to watch your videos, you draw us in with your great recipes and your sweet, kind, heart. My grannie made the best dumplings then my momma made them that tasted exactly like her moms. I would always watch as she poured the water in the flour bin with the crisco and salt and take her hand to make a ball of dough. I've tried that only once because I had a mess in my whole container of flour!! There is an art to those dumplings but it seems like I'm the one next in line who tries her hardest each year to perfect that recipe. You touch my heart by taking such good care of your family. Love and blessing to you sweet friend!
Awh, thank YOU so much for your kind words and what a sweet memory 💗 my mamaw and momma can make good ones like that too, but I'm like you 🤣 it's definitely an art. But we can do canned biscuits 😉
I had to laugh a little when you said you had to get your leveler out, I have a very special crock pot that my Sweet Mama gave me, she has gone to be with the Lord now, the knob broke off, I used needle nosed pliers for a long time, then when I replaced on cook stove, I took a knob off the old one. I always love all your recipes.. Thank You so much for sharing.
PRAYERS
Honey I love this! We hang on to a good thing don't we 😉
I love your videos, my husband and I love your recipes. Thank you; the hardest part of being the cook is coming up with something new for dinner.
I agree with you, I don't mind cooking - I just want someone to tell me what to make LOL
I would love a cookbook with all these ideas!!
Oh my look at that pie!!! It looks so delicious. I may have to make a sugar free version for my hubby. I’m so glad I found your channel today and have already watched several videos. Hooray for crock pots. I love cooking in them in the summer too because I can make comfort food without making the kitchen a fiery inferno. Thanks so much Mel you’re a breath of fresh air in this sometimes stale world
Welcome and thank YOU so much for watching and your kind words, you have made my day!
I never put vegetables in my Chicken and Dumplings ! But everyone to their own taste. My family loves the gravy it makes.
That was more like chicken pot pie in the crockpot 😊 chicken and dumplings don’t usually have veggies other than onions and celery. Thank you for sharing, the meals were awesome.
That's what my hubby said, too. 🤣 And that man don't want NO veggies in his 🤣
Love these! Can't wait to try these recipes! Thank you so much!
We never had veggies in our chicken and dumplings growing up, and I don’t usually add veggies now. I DO put peas and carrots in my pot pie! 😀 Enjoyed this video very much, Mel - thank you for sharing! ❤ xo
I love that your recipes are now on a website! I don't have Pinterest, but I save all my recipes as links in folders. Now I can add so many Mama Mel recipes to those folders! Thank you!
I'm so glad too, this will help alot of us and I LOVE that you gave me my own folder ❤️ thanks for watching always
Hope they are feeling better 🙏🏻
Chicken pot pie 😆😂🤣 I’ll have to agree with Patrick, but it did look delicious! I don’t make mine with vegetables, I don’t think my grandma or great grandma did either but I’ll have to ask my momma.
That meat mallet came in handy 😂
Have a great week Mel.
Per Patrick's request it shall never have veggies again 🤣 And thank you for your prayers, we're trying to get my momma in love back to her old self, she had a rough go with pneumonia and it really wore her down. We need her swinging that mallet again real soon 🤣
I will keep her in my prayers 🙏🏻
Mel, these all look so good! Will try the chicken and dumplings first. Hope mine turn out as good as yours!
"There ain't no such animal" I love that!
We always have chicken n dumplings with only chicken and dumplings no veggies. Tho I enjoy adding them when I can get by with it.
Great looking recipes, Momma Mel! I switched to Good Chop from another service, and so far, they have been great! When my beloved grandma made her chicken and dumplings, they didn't have vegetables in it ... but, hey, anywhere you can get a serving of veggies in is alright with me! Continuing to enjoy your channel! 😊❤
Love your cooking style 😋
Everything looks so good. I'm going to make that pie for Thanksgiving. I hope your in-loves are feeling better. God's blessings .
Everything looks delicious,thanks Mel 👍👍👍
