Hi Mel! I sometimes think appetizers and snacks can be better than the actual meal. I love the variety and unique ideas people come up with. Along with the traditional ones too, of course. Those sausage balls look so good and I can see how moist they are. I just know the baked Boursin is yummy and the Boursin puffs too. They're so pretty. I love a good dip and the Tuscan dip is right up my alley. Sounds delicious. Thank you, Mel for all of the wonderful appetizer ideas. I'm excited to try them all!! And, as always, thank you for all of the work you do. You're awesome and so are your recipes. I hope you and your family have a blessed and beautiful week. 💗
The strainer showed being used with the can of Rotel is a good tuna press. Open the tuna can and remove the top - then press it, holes side down, into then can to squeeze the liquid out.
Hello Mama Mel, Thanks for sharing, as always everything looks delicious. Y'all be blessed and enjoy the rest of ya'll's night and have a wonderful week. ❤❤❤
Hey Mel,I'm here watching,Hope you had a wonderful and blessed week and praying you also have a blessed and wonderful coming week,love you friend!🎅🤶🎄❄☃
I'm going to make the Rotel Sausage Balls. I was going to make the Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls but thought I'd give the Rotel ones a try. I'll freeze most and take them with us on Christmas. I have everything needed so I might make both, and see which ones go over best.
Good Sunday Evening, Mel! All great looking appetizers. Thank you so much! Your "well loved" muffin pan is very familiar! That's how all my baking pans and cupcake trays look too! Well loved and well used for many special recipes! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful looking treats! Have a good week ahead!
Yummm, I have to try the puff pastry with the tomatoes, almost like a caprese salad. Just a tip when you are using dried herbs like the Italian seasoning, rub it in your hands before you put it in your recipes, it wakes them up a bit.
Sister I always have to make cheese balls some of them were requested as presents😂 it's a recipe I learned back when I was 20 from an old lady at JCPenney credit office where I worked. But this year the kids are going to get that baked Boursin as well. It has sin in the name so you know it has to be a great temptation😂 blessings and much love
🤣 so true! And the recipes I've gotten from ladies I've worked with and gone to church with are THE BEST OF THE BEST! And for the record, we always have to have cheesecakes too, pineapple, green onion, seasoned salt, etc 😋
I love, love that your cupcake tin was as used up and beautiful as mine (and most peoples!) There is nothing fake about you, Mel! and you already know what a kick I get out of your honey. He is so sweet to eat in front of the camera for you (for us) even though you just know he's not one for the spot-light! Lol! Merry Christmas to y'all!
I am obsessed with Boursin too. Im making something with it to share this week as well! I love these holiday videos from you! So many good ideas to try!
Good evening, Mel. I make the sausage balls using the Cheddar Bay mix, but I also add the cream cheese to the recipe. Wonderful!! And you are right, so moist, and they stay that way. That dip will be perfect for the get together with some of my friends next week! Hope you have a great week ahead! God bless!
“All the cool kids” sentiment cracked me up … you’re who I seek out for recipe ideas - so you’re the cool kid!!! ❤ Merry Christmas - these look delicious!
All these recipes looks so yummy..oh mel what would we do without u and all the work u do for us for these appetizers..u save us alot of work deciding what to make. Thanku for all u do and have a wonderful blessed day ❤❤
The puff pastry cups look so good!!! Been watching you lately and I love your recipes!!!! First time I’ve heard of the Borsin cheese ! Will be try it!!!!
All of these appetizer recipes look and sound wonderful. I can't wait to try all of them. I want to try the sausage balls since it's your husband's favorite.
Oh, I will be making the sausage balls for sure and the last dip recipe. Like Boursin okay but like jalapeno poppers so much more. All the recipes do need to be tried for sure. Thanks Mel. Love the videos and your time you spend with us. Merry Christmas!
Hey sweet friends. I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your prayers last Sunday and ask y'all to please keep them coming. I went to the ER last Sunday evening after Mama Mel's video. I found out that I have 2 fistulas (caused by my Crohn's) that are connected from my bladder to my intestine. I have an infection around my intestine. I don't see my GI doctor till January. My hubby was just approved for total shoulder replacement surgery this week after fighting to get it since 2009. Our youngest grandson gets tested next week for Autism. My hubbys cousin was told he needs a kidney transplant and goes next week for evaluation for it. We appreciate all the prayers in advance. God Bless.
@@lulamcrae2851 hey Lula and Oscar. Hope y'all are doing well this lovely evening and staying warm. We appreciate all the prayers. I wanted to update you and others. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening and week ahead.
Hi Mrs Alma. When it rains, it pours. Sending prayers for you and your family. I hope everyone's troubles get resolved quickly. Have a beautiful and blessed week. 🙏❤
@@marylawman8603 thank you, friend. I appreciate all of y'all praying for us. Yes but with our Heavenly Father, we'll make it through. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening and week ahead.
I wanna bite of those sausage balls, I love just about anything Boursin and that dip! Every time I see appetizers I pictures tailgate or football get togethers. Thanks for making my next one easier. Sausage balls here I come!
Awe let him double dip if it’s just family. We do it all the time. Thanks for all the delicious recipes. I’m sure to try a couple of these. I was curious as to what the different sausage ball would be this year. Looks delicious.
🤣 we both ended up double dipping 😊 Hope you love making these and you will love the sausage balls with Rotel. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas 🌟 ❤️ 🎄
These look so good. I, too, thought the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay mix was the best, quess I'll be trying these for the kids, grands, hubby & myself for Christmas day 😅.
Thank you for making cooking simple and yummy. FYI if you belong to a Sam’s Club or similar I get the borsin cheese in by a three pack at Cosco. 2 herb & garlic & 1 chive & garlic. They keep a while in refrig and 3 pack is economical. Have a beautiful Christmas Season❣️
Try a Walmart boneless spiral ham in the purple and put brown sugar with cranberry juice together and mix with a fork and pour it on top of ham and bake for 15 minutes and then pour the other half on and let it bake for another 15 minutes
Hey Mel! I ❤ your channel. Thanks for sharing these recipes, diffently going to make these appetizers for our family Christmas gathering. I make sausage balls and freeze them like you do too,diffently looking forward to making the rotel sausage balls. Did you make that wooden cover over your stove? That's nice. ❤ Nancy
I made sausage balls at Thanksgiving but didn't care for them. My daughter made them too and loved them. I think it was the addition of the baking mix. Thinking just the meat and cheese might have been better idk
I hate those tubes that sausage comes in - always gobs left in the folds at each end. I wish they'd come up with a better system. I bet if you froze the Boursin before baking, it would hold its shape better.
Please throw all those measuring tools in the trash. Measure with your heart. I dont even own any measuring tools. You actually measured an eighth of a teaspoon of an herb? Oh my.

Yes, I use it for tuna and the small can of crushed pineapple for cheesecakes. Perfect! 😊

Caprese Puff would be a good name for the puff pastry appetizer.
Everything looks Delicious!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🌟❤️🎄
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMelMerry Christmas!
Ooo, gonna try these recipes. We dip our sausage balls in ranch. So good!
If y'all like cranberries, I've seen some people add them to the sausage balls.
Oh that sounds delicious to me! Thanks for sharing that idea!
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel you're welcome, Aunt Mel.
I add cranberries to mine and it's so yummy
Thank You 😀
I made some of these sausage balls yesterday and they were the best I have ever ate. Very flavorful
Merry Christmas ⛄ sending prayers to you and your family hope all goes well with you and your family 🙏 I wish you and your family the best 💖
I wanna bite of those sausage balls, I love just about anything Boursin and that dip! Every time I see appetizers I pictures tailgate or football get togethers. Thanks for making my next one easier. Sausage balls here I come!
I know what you mean - it's great to have recipes that work for all kinds of occasions!
Momma M! Love your channel, from Alabama!
Oh my, I was just thinking of making this for my son and his 4 son's. Never made sausage balls before, so thanks for this.
If you and your family likes sausage , then friend you are in for a yummy treat. They're so delicious
Awe let him double dip if it’s just family. We do it all the time. Thanks for all the delicious recipes. I’m sure to try a couple of these. I was curious as to what the different sausage ball would be this year. Looks delicious.

I agree with your husband about tomatoes. It’s not only the texture but the tartness.
all those sound really good
I love your videos and I will definitely check out the game
Very nice video , thank you.
Thank you for making cooking simple and yummy. FYI if you belong to a Sam’s Club or similar I get the borsin cheese in by a three pack at Cosco. 2 herb & garlic & 1 chive & garlic. They keep a while in refrig and 3 pack is economical.
Have a beautiful Christmas Season❣️
I am! And I will be hitting them up before Christmas 🎄
👍😊❤, Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them!
I think I’m going to make the Tuscan dip but put in in the puff pastry cups like the Boursin Puffs recipe.
That Boursin looks good. I think I will pair it with some Ritz since I need to use them up.
You and Sammi should have collaborated with these delicious appetizers. I'm not even 5 minutes into the video and drooling.
Do we need bibs like we talked about before?🤣
@@tracyroth3397 oh yes. Mines in the washer. Lol.
@ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You are so right!! Sammi had some great appetizers tonight too!
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel yes, y'all did.

cool
😊
❤
Mama Mel~could I use a corn bread mix instead of bisquick for those sausage balls?
Now you know those sausage balls would have been even better with Wampler or Swaggerty sausage.
I would devour the tomatoes and balsamic puffs . Lol
Bet would be good over pasta
Do you have a cookbook I can order for Christmas?
Did you make a hot chocolate recipe that we can mix and put in a jar for teachers and friends?? If so please send it to me. Thanks
Yummy....pull off some tomatoes for your man lol. Hugs from NH
You know I did 🤣❤️
My husband can’t eat dairy. Wish there were more options for those recipes.
Can you do that cheese thing without honey??
Oh yes of course, it's just something I decided to try. Enjoy!
I hate those tubes that sausage comes in - always gobs left in the folds at each end. I wish they'd come up with a better system. I bet if you froze the Boursin before baking, it would hold its shape better.
Hey Mel can you send me the name of the jam/jellies you talk about on here all the time that are local to you.
Yes friends it's Jammin Jams and here's their website, tell her that I sent you, and enjoy!
jamminjamstn.com/
@ thank you as I’m gonna send some to my dad for Christmas
That's so nice, he's in for a real treat! Merry Christmas 🌟 ❤️ 🎄
I think people are figuring out about the Boursin Cheese. I can’t seem to find it any more.
I've noticed that, too. And it's funny because I never noticed it hanging out there in the store before 🤣
They all look wonderful! Could do without the music it was too loud and was distracting.
All require too much time.
I just can’t get through all the ads
Please throw all those measuring tools in the trash. Measure with your heart. I dont even own any measuring tools. You actually measured an eighth of a teaspoon of an herb? Oh my.
These all looked delicious but I don't know what world you live in but these are not inexpensive
