    Kristen you are a bomb chef! I would say that you have more skills and better instincts than I do, and I know my way around the kitchen pretty well.
    I have my own traditions and ways that my family has taught me to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but I couldn't stop watching this and thinking how helpful this would be for someone who wasn't taught the basics when they were young. It's so thoughtful and endearing that you wanted to share all of this with us, and you are clearly very passionate about food and the comfort and happiness that it can bring to an occasion.

    • @KristenMcAtee
      @KristenMcAtee  Год назад +6

      I AM very passionate about all of this! It's nice to see that you and others see that too 🤍 I wish I made more content like this but my imposter syndrome kicks in and I often feel I dont have the credibility to give this advice. its comments like these that motivate me 😊

    Love it! I’m vegetarian and my family doesn’t ever accommodate that during thanksgiving lol, so I decided that this year I’ll be bringing my own food so will be preparing my own thanksgiving meal for the first time.
    Have you ever thought about teaching like cooking basics 101 on your channel? You could make a series of it. I would absolutely watch, I was never taught how to do basically anything in the kitchen and although I’m a bit better as an adult I’m still clueless to a lot of stuff, like even the best way to chop vegetables. I’m sure many people would enjoy!

    • @KristenMcAtee
      @KristenMcAtee  Год назад +3

      all of these dishes can be veggie! (aside from the turkey obviously)
      anything I said that calls for stock, just change to veggie stock :) i've done beyond meat in stuffing before and it was delicious!

  • @arieldana8049
    @arieldana8049 Год назад +2

    I’m hella late but future dessert tip: get a box of chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups of your milk of choice, about 1/4 of a tub of whipped cream, about 2/3 of a package of Keebler fudge grahams, and a pie crust (we use graham cracker crust). Crunch the cookies into tiny pieces, mix it all together, pour it into the pie crust, pop it in the fridge for like 15 minutes. It’s soooo good. My mom makes it every year and I started taking it to other thanksgiving and I always get hella compliments on it!

    I've been making the cranberry sauce from your video 3 years ago ever since it came out. It feels like one way I was able to help contribute to the thanksgiving dinner as my mom always takes everything on, but also it's so delicious.

  • @madisonmaka6187

    The best way I’ve made mashed potatoes so far is add sour cream and herb and garlic cream cheese to it! Just after you blend them like normal I just do it to taste I’m telling you it is a game changer!

    It's so interesting how different Thanksgiving dinner is in different cultures because I never see white people make mac and cheese, but for black people it's a staple. But you guys always make mashed potatoes and we rarely do. And then others cultures just have they're own food not American food

      My dad passed in March 2021 and he always helped with the turkey so i decided I would make it. I was terrified but I just took my time, did a simple little apple, onion and herb stuffing(I do this to keep it moist/flavorful, we don't actually eat it) and an herb butter under the skin, tent with foil and it came out perfect. I'm making my 2nd one this year and I'm so excited! You've got this!!
