Always fun to cook with my daughter! Brings back wonderful memories!
Sure does! Always such fun to share our love of cooking (and entertaining!!) with the ultimate entertainers!!
I've loved your father since 'way back when' on HGTV. Such a charming and talented man. And your mother taking that third bite of cake! Please bring them back!
Your mom and dad look so healthy, happy and tan, Beth! Blessings to you all. I am with mom, it’s cake over candy nearly every time. Was surprised the cake had no eggs, which must be why it looked so delicate and fluffy.
I know, right! It’s the vinegar!
I will make both! I smiled throughout this entire video!!
I know this is a food channel, but can we take a moment to appreciate Beth’s mom’s earrings? And her perfectly positioned pinky while eating the cake? How fab is she!? 🤩
Always fun with you and your dad. Love the recipes thanks for sharing your family and memories with us.
Aww of course!! so glad you enjoyed! Happy holidays!
Have I been living under a rock?? I have purchased many Turtles in my day, but have never had one in the shape of a Turtle. They've always looked like a mound so could never understand why they were called that! Thanks to you Ms. B, that was a WOW moment for me🤩! And since I am keeping it real, although I know you've been told this a "jillion" times it bears repeating - you and your DAD (and Mom) totally adorbs! Both desserts totally delicious!
Ha! I know it's so hilarious these mounds of chocolate hiding the real TURTLE underneath! When they are so cute! I like them to come out of "their shell" a bit ha! So glad you enjoyed them! (and Mom and Dad!!)
Your parents are so sweet! And your mom was cracking me up going in for third and fourth bites. 😆 I love seeing families cook together - it such a sweet time in the kitchen. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Ha! Oh it is! I know after I saw the 3rd bite I knew those turtles never had a chance lol! Merriest of Christmas to you and your family! :)
What a wonderful family…..I love it. The dynamic duo working their magic on two great holiday recipes. The cake and chocolate turtles looked so easy to prepare. That cake is intriguing.🎄🎄🎄
Oh it is! That cake is definitely worth making! So so good!
I agree! What a wonderful family! Such style and warmth. Super fun to watch and learn from. Not to mention the creative talent. Love hearing your fathers beautiful elegant voice and Beth’s little giggle! Mom is delightful as well! I would love more visits from your parents as there are many of us who loved your Dads design show , etc. Merry Christmas to all of you and the Happiest of all your New Years to come!
Aww yes! It's always fun to weave in the family into these episodes! So much about the holidays, cooking and entertaining involves family! Hoping to get a few episodes shot this summer with my Sister Meg who will be joining us in France for a few days this summer! Should be fun!
Your parents are precious and look wonderful. I can see where you get your warm personality and love of entertaining from.
Lets be honest Beth, your turtles never stood a chance! 😂😂 Your mom and dad are soooo cute! ❤
Right?! Dead on arrival LOL! Maybe good for Halloween?! LOL!
Hi Beth, my mom made this cake as well and said it was called Wacky Cake. She said her mother made it during WW2 because food was rationed. I made this when I was around 10 years old as it was so easy to make. Thanks for the memories! Merry Christmas!
Wacky Cake! Oh I love it! What fun ha! So glad it brought back fun memories!!
What I liked best even more than the recipes, was seeing the love and laughter between you and your parents! So special and I can see where you get your sense of humor. You are so blessed to have such sweet parents!!
Such a delightful duo of Father and daughter!
Love to see the family in the kitchen cooking and laughing !
Priceless!
Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to make it. Happy Holidays!
I watched your dad years ago when design shows were on tv and who would’ve thought that years later I’d be watching and so very much, enjoying his daughter’s RUclips channel. I absolutely love the two of you together. On a side note, that green sweater looks fabulous on you ❤.
Aww ya think? Thanks! So fun when people make the HGTV connection ha! Personally I would have never thought it would be ME on camera! But the food dragged me in ha!
Your dad is a decorator at heart. His presentation is superb.
I am so glad I didn't miss this video! How wonderful to see you and your family with this delightful challenge with two great recipes! I enjoyed every minute of watching this joyful exchange with you all! I hope we see more of your parents also because they are just so adorable with you! But Beth, I love watching you no matter what you are making. Your warmth just floods the camera and leaves your viewer with happy feelings! Thank you for this!
Your Dad is everything! He’s kind, handsome, and creative! So much fun to watch him, and you too! Love, love your videos. ❤
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoy them! And yes Dad's all that and More! Ha!
How fun. We grew up calling that cake Whacky cake! And mom would "gussy" it up depending on the occasion. It was our go to chocolate cake! Thanks for sharing! Turtles are new to me. Both look delicious!!
You have such lovely parents. That chocolate cake👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Merry Christmas !!
Hahaha
Beth you are the perfect in-between of both your parents. So cute.
What a fun recipe challenge! Both look delicious, each worthy in its own place. You're so lucky to still have both your parents, Beth. They are charming!
How fun! Love your parents. Both recipes look so good! Thanks for sharing.
I love when your mom and dad join you! I’m going to make the chocolate cake! Happy holidays!
Loved seeing Barbara and Joe! Beth always enjoy watching you! Merry Christmas to everyone!
This was an adorable watch. Thank you to you and your family.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us, and happiest of holidays!
Dad won for me even before Mom came on the scene! and i didn't even taste it. . . but wish i had!!! But Beth, your shortbread recipe is one i truly treasure and make for my family every year.
Omigosh! You Dad made Cockeyed Cake! We had it often when I was a kid, as my Mom was a fan of Peg Bracken and it was a quick and easy dessert. Plus she could con me into making it since I loved the "weirdness" of putting vinegar into a cake! There was also the appeal of the completely unnecessary, but totally fun instruction of combining the dry ingredients in the pan then making 3 holes and pouring the oil, vinegar and vanilla, one per hole. Then you just mixed it up and into the oven it went! Sorry, but such strong memories from my 70s childhood! I have to say that we never gussied it up quite the way your wonderful father did! Usually powdered sugar or ice cream, but no delicious almonds!
Those turtles looked fabulous, too Beth! I know we made those a few times, as well. Turtles were a popular candy in the 70s and I remember my mother buying extra caramels in the fall (caramel apple season) and saving a couple of bags to make these for Christmas. No microwaves yet, so the double boiler was the only option and why your recipe doesn't mention microwaving! I remember that recipe so well because it was pretty simple but very impressive. I thought my mom was a genius until I was old enough to make them myself!
Gosh, I'm running on even more than usual! 😂 So I'll just say that that was quite a spectacular showdown and a very close contest! I love the episodes where your parents make an appearance. It's so easy to see where you got your grace, beauty and talents from!
Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, Beth!
💚❄️❤️🕯🎄🕯❤️❄️💚
Oh how did I miss this? Best video ever. Reminds me so much of my family in the kitchen. I bet you all had so much fun laughing and putting this video together! You should do more of these when you can! You’ll treasure these memories forever ❤️
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes lots of laughs were had ha! And it's so true I cherish these videos as the years go on :)
Love your parents. They are so much fun. You all really enjoy the challange. I enjoyed too.
This was so fun and enjoyable to watch. What a great relationship your family has with one another.
Yes, they really are the best. We’re so lucky to have each other! So glad you enjoyed it! Happy holidays!
Thank you Beth! Loved it all: family get-together, parents, atmosphere and recipes. Can’t wait to try both of them. What a great idea putting together family recipes with relatives. Happy holidays!
What a fun episode! Loved seeing Beth's parents!
OMG, Your Mom is a hoot eating that chocolate cake!!! It diid look delicious!!! Lovely visiting wit your folks. Merry Christmas to you all!
Your parents are a treasure!!!
Love the friendly competition between you and your Dad!! Your Mom was in a no win position but she did her best without any losses. Both treats are win win!!!!!
Season Greetings Merry Christmas from Southern Ontario Canada 🙂🍁🎅☃️🌲
OMG! Precious video, left me with a huge smile! Ty for sharing! (The recipes look yummy but your family is incredible!)
How delightful to have your parents joining you and sharing family memories. So wholesome. I love your channel. Happy Holidays🎉🎉🎉
Oh my goodness what fun, do you know how blessed you are love. It's my first time seeing your mom, she is gorgeous and as always your dad, well he's just as charming as ever. I just love your channel ❤. Great family time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching 👀😄☺😍😊
Aww thanks so much! So glad you could join us for the yearly episode! Ha! Those two are such gems! Fun to share with you guys :)
Aww!! This filled my heart with so much warmth ♥️
Merry Christmas everyone. Your mom is so sweet.
Merry Christmas!! I love it when your dad is in your videos!!! Beth you bring me joy more than you could imagine ♥️ blessings to you lady ♥️
I adore your parents! Yes I will make both recipes for my family this holiday season. Love and joy Beth to you and your amazing family❤
What a wonderful video; you are all so adorable and I love the recipes! Can't wait to try them, thank you! Happy holidays, Beth and family!
So enjoyable! I knew your mom was going to go for the cake after the second bite! But the turtles look so good, I think I'd have a hard time choosing myself. Happy Holidays!
You guys are precious! I follow your dad on Facebook and you on RUclips and love you all but particularly when you are doing family things! Christmas Blessings!
That was so much fun, Beth! Great to see the three of you together!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
I just watched your yesterdays Live on Kittch and I really enjoyed it! You’re such a natural, Beth! Thanks for all your awesome tips and ideas:-)
Your parents are the sweetest!!
Great video with your mom and dad! When I first saw your dad in some of your past videos, I couldn't remember why he seemed familiar. You said he hosted the show, Dream Drives. I knew his voice was familiar. Great show! When my son was young we used to watch Dream Drives. He is now an architect and works for a firm in California but lives in Dallas, Texas.
Thank you, Beth, for all your hard work and the great content you put on RUclips for us to enjoy. You are cheerful and fun to watch and you offer such great recipes and cooking & entertaining advice. I've made the chicken tortilla soup 3 times since you posted the video this fall. Great recipe! Again, thank you for all you do and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Homes Across America and the Natural Christmas! Thanks!
@@josephruggiero1280 So sorry! Wrong show name but I loved the show.
Love this!!! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁
That was great! So much fun...........I laughed out loud. I will definitely make both! Cheers!
Merry Christmas to you, your Mom and Dad. I always love to watch your Christmas videos. You and your Dad make cooking look so easy and fun. Your Mom is a wonderful addition. Your Christmas videos are on par with The Andy Williams Christmas Shows from the 1960s. Clean happy fun with talented family members. Both recipes looked fantastic and easy to do. It would be hard to choose a favorite. I have two granddaughters who love to bake. I think we will have to try these beautiful recipes. 🌲
LOL! Oh you are too funny! I remember my parents had the Andy Williams 8-Track tape back when I was young which used to blast through the house at Christmas, but never saw the specials! Must have been past my bedtime! But I but my parents remember them!
Beth, loved this episode! Your parents are absolutely adorable!
Merry Christmas! ❤
🎄~Too cute! Love your show Beth! And... your Dad is such a Bonus! ♥️💫
🎅merry..merry...🤶
Aaahhhh!! So happy to see Dad! I looked forward to this time of year and him making an appearance! The vinegar tip!! Love it! Here in TX eggs have gone from 1.89 to $6 a dozen! This is a great tip! Love your channel!!!!
Love both. Will make both. Thank you for sharing your recipes and most of all, your family. Merry Christmas! So happy your Mom said: “Merry Christmas “🎄!
Same to you! And yes I think you'll really enjoy both as well! :)
You know how you think someone is a spitting image of one parent and then you meet the other parent and see they’re almost a carbon of that parent? 🤣😂
Oh Beth, this videos was the best! Your family is so precious, and you always make me feel so happy when I watch your videos. I giggled and smiled the whole time I watched it. Your Mom was so funny and sweet! I absolutely love your parents in your videos too!
I think I'll try both recipes in the future!
⭐️ Merry Christmas ⭐️
U r so lucky to have such a smart & loving father....and u are just superb..Desert looks so delicious 😋 😍 sending lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵
How lovely to see your mom and dad . You are all truly blessed. I loved both deserts and would make both for company. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for all your hard work.
That was so fun Beth. They both looked yummy😍
I got one of those recipe boxes too when I was first married in 1972. I agree that it’s a time capsule. I remember the people who gave me each recipe. This is a terrific episode! I didn’t know how to cook, back then and the spaghetti sauce recipe didn’t say brown the meat…that was a fun dinner.
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! I just love that little box, it's like my childhood in a time capsule ha! :)
your family are just adorable! Happy Christmas!
Such a fun episode! Lots of smiles and yummy treats! I may try that cake today…wow, a 10/10!!! I’ll have to make a trip to the grocery before I can try the turtles…but I think 9.5 is still a phenomenal score for those little turtles!
Ha! So true I'll take it lol! :)
Good afternoon Beth! This video was so much fun! I always enjoy when your Daddy comes on your videos and now your Mother! I remember your Daddy from the HGTV days and enjoyed him then. But, your Mother was so delightful eating the cake. I love chocolate both cake and turtles! Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎄💕 P.S. What do the French store their ground coffee in? Thank you!
This is such an enjoyable video to watch. Such a beautiful & talented family. Yes, the vinegar is such a surprise. No need to hoard if there are no eggs in the supermarket. Just make a chocolate cake & eat it for breakfast, lunch & dinner instead!😂. BTW, I made Beth’s Pots de Creme for the first time & it was so easy & delicious. I will never buy process chocolate pudding again. This French recipe is so good.
You guys have no idea how much I love you all. Joe and Barbara you both look fabulous! Beth, you are a sweetheart! This chocoholic loves your recipes! Merry Christmas and a Wonderful new year!
This was a GREAT tutorial. Merry Christmas from Switzerland
Love your parents and this video! Merry Christmas to all of you! I am going to try the cake recipe. 🎄
I just adore you and Joe. Can’t wait to try.
Always such a delight having a video from you beth. I hope that you and your family are keeping well and looking forward to the Christmas holidays.
Your dad is an absolute sweetheart and is so adorable. Thank you for sharing yet another awesome recipe. Xx
What a nice video! This will be a treasured memory for you and your family. Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!
Beth I love U so much with your cooking on RUclips . Am Ghanaian and I live in Canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
If it takes that much time to make ONLY 6 chocolate turtles, I'll go straight to the candy shop and buy. LOL
Thank you so much for this video, I loved it! I was trying to decide what to make for dessert for Christmas, and then I saw this video. The cake is the winner- I am going to try it- sorry Beth! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Oh, love the video! Wonderful family fun!
That was so fun!!!! Love you guys! 😍
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
I loved this video! Made me so happy. :) Merry Christmas to you all.
Loved seeing your parents with you! I must try both. Merry Christmas! :)
I’m definitely going to make both!! Your mom and dad are adorable and hilarious!!! This made my day ❤
Oh they are! Mom is now obsessed with the cake! Ha! So great seeing you yesterday Ruby! Thanks for joining the Live!!
Hi Beth! I look forward to all your videos and recipes. My Mom use to make your Dad’s chocolate cake. It’s a family favorite. We call it “cake in the pan.” I can’t wait to try the turtle recipe! ( I’m planning on making your Gratin Dauphinois recipe for Christmas.) Thank you and enjoy the holidays! 3:22
I did not know that about vinegar. Love learning from you & your dad!
Oh yes! It’s the best tip ever work so well and makes the lightest fluffiest cake definitely worth a try!
Oh dear u make me feel sad that I lost all my old recipes &mom's 😢 when we had some bad storms &we got to leave the house for a while !
But we can do nothing about it. I'm happy though you still got yours. Cherish them please 💗
Your Dad is so charming and you together are great! The cake is a winner! So interesting to know the effect of vinegar in the mix. Have a merry Christmas!
Your Mom is So Cute!!🥰Loved the Way she couldn’t Stop eating your Dads Yummy Cake!! ..(Plus!!.. I Love “Turtles” too.. but “I” have a problem with the nuts sticking in my teeth)!!.. which is aggravating!!
lovely parents !!! Enjoy them ! Happy Holidays !!!
This is absolutely incredible. I have a box like that 🙂 family recipes and som of them written by my mom. This is really fun to see you both cooking! Happy Holidays!
Great to see your folks!
I am late to comment but I so love your "dad" episodes! Wishing your family a happy healthy 2023. Keep cooking (and baking)
Aww thanks so glad you enjoy them! Happiest of New Year to you too!
I love the videos with your dad!! He’s so much fun! Also I’ve just come back from a difficult week at the dentist so dad wins this one for me! But I will say that as I’m from the UK, I’ve heard chocolate turtles mentioned on TV and I never knew what they were - I didn’t realise they’re actual little turtles!! So cute! So you win in the educational category Beth!
Loooove the recipe box idea! And I plan to bake your dad's chocolate cake. Love this vid! Thanks so much Beth and Dad.
The making of the chocolate cake was so interesting! Between the mixing in the pan and the vinegar reaction… it would be a fun « science experiment » with young ones… or older ones 😉
If I heard correctly that the turtle recipe was from 1971, microwave ovens were not readily available for home use at that time so the double boiler method for the caramel makes sense.
Loved this!
Really enjoyed this - top tip re the vinegar! Your parents are adorable ☺️
Ha! Aren't they the cutest? :) And yes that vinegar trick is AMAZING! Makes the cake so light and fluffy!!
Beth,ur mom and dad are so cute! Your mom was seriously into that cake!!! 🎄🎄🎄🍸🍾🥂🙏🎁☃️
Thank you for another great recipe! Made the chocolate cake yesterday; it was super easy and one of the moistest cakes I have ever baked. You two are the best!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
What a beautiful couple your parents are. I will have to make the cake it just looks so delicious. The turtles are so cute will have to try them too. I have to tell you Miss Beth that your father is so talented as are you all. I have kept magazine pages of your dad’s decorating for years and years, as inspiration. There was one house in particular he designed and decorated, I could have just moved in. It was an overall neutral feel of creams but with pops of color. One of the bedrooms had a carpet of little flowers I fell in love with, a four poster bed, but it wasn’t old fashioned at all, it had a clean modern feel and still does, very classic. There was a large wooden swan in the living room I think on the tole behind the sofa. If that jogs anyone’s memory. Anyway please tell him I’ve admired him, and! my husband and I both worked for HGTV and the other sister channels as part of the production crew but unfortunately never got to work with you or your dad but would have loved to. Have a Merry Christmas. Your mom is very diplomatic and charming!
Oh how funny! Yes Dad and I both worked for the channel and production companies that produced for them for years! My first start in video was with those Networks, HGTV, DIY, Food Network and Fine Living Network! Such great memories :) I'll ask Dad about the Living Room!
what fun. thanks for sharing your family with us. always enjoy them being included with you. loved it. Merry Christmas. hoping a great 2023 for us all!! take care. ( ;
Merry Christmas to you & your family Beth! Wishing you a great new year ahead! 🌲🍷🎉❤🍁
