Kelsey, you are a great cook with recipes that are so beautiful I can smell them here in my living room. Your family is so lucky to have you as their mom and wife! Have a blessed weekend.
Great video. All of these dishes looked delicious. Love the idea of raspberries added to the cranberries. I’m glad to know everyone liked the dishes. Thank you for making these videos.
Great idea to mix the raspberries and cranberries together. They looked wonderful and I KNOW I will be trying the cranberry dish tomorrow. I just bought two bags of fresh cranberries and was going to try something different - you did it for me. YUM
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, I make bell stuffing. I add the onions, crkery and ground sausage. I usecto add summer savory. My Nana sent me some from Canada. I still have a small amount in my freezer. I miss using it as its been in my freezer for some time. We can't find it in the states . I did once. It was the secret ingredient in the holiday stuffing since I was young. My mom and dad used it. Also mashed potatoes, , didn't matter the kind of potatoes, what truly mattered was the texture. Lumpy mashed potatoes with butter and milk, and black pepper. Plenty of pepper. Fir me and my sister, what makes it special is a potato masher my mom and dad used , when they got married. Stainless steel with a wooden handle, made by Ecko Forge. This masher is almost 66 years old. The holes make the right size lumps. My sister gave it to me last year. Now we can have those lumpy mashed potatoes all the time. My son 27 yo, loves the masher , he now uses it to make mashed potatoes..
Love that garden season is over, only so we get to see more of your delicious cooking videos!!! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your recipes, which I’ve loved each one that I’ve tried, so trust you wholeheartedly. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Kelsey, you outdid yourself with these choices! The first time I ate asparagus it was raw out of a garden and I thought it was wonderful. At the time, I didn’t even know what it was. Not overcooking it is the key for my tastebuds (the same for many of the cooked veggies I eat). Same with carrots, I still like a little crunch to them. I think the recipes all look so delicious and worth a try. A cranberry/raspberry combo would be an exceptional choice in most anything. 😊 I want you to know how grateful I am for you. Your videos gently inspire me to step out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. Cooking is not a love language that I speak well. However, I have on occasion after watching a shared video from you surprised even myself with a meal that felt doable and was enjoyed by my hubby (no kids at home). Making Lefsa is a tradition that has been lost in our family for many years. My grandmother was the one who started making it at the holidays, going back to when this grammy was very young. When I think of holiday food, that is what comes to mind. I hope there will be a day that I will learn how to make it and then bring back the tradition to our family. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Hugs friend. 🍁🧡🦃
@ thank you Kitty! I so appreciate your kind comment. The hardest part has already been accomplished in that I’m pretty sure I’ve got all the equipment needed for the process. It would sure make my mom who turns 85 in mid Dec happy too! Have a great day!
I must be on team Matt. I love raw carrots but I’m not a fan of cooked carrots. I love potatoes and even more if you add cheese! That potato dish you made looks amazing! ❤
Homemade apple pie and pumpkin pie. Don't usually eat that stuff but must have for Thanksgiving because it was my little boys favorites and he is now 33 years old. He still loves it so I'll be making them along with dinner. 😊 Your recipes look delicious as always. 💕
Hi Kelsey! That food looks absolutely mouth watering! You are such a talented cook 🙏 I always look forward to the gravy on Thanksgiving Day 😂... Something about those turkey drippings that make the most delicious gravy and I just about pour it over everything! Ever since I saw you spatchcock cook your chicken, I have been doing that and it's the best way... So thank you again! ❤ Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!🙂 *Gotta try that asparagus wrap you made, looks so yummy! 👍
Whoot whoot whoot... I am lucky number 132 to like this video... So awesome.... Now to go share and as I am commenting.... thank you for showing up today, The boost of joy surges through my cloudy day! Now I can take a few minutes for myself, tea and water in hand and watch this awesome episode. Hugs from Esquimalt. I needed this so bad.... before this I wasn't even happy that it was Friday...but I forgot about your episode coming up and the cat bumped my mouse and boom...there you were! If you were ever wondering, to me you are a silver lining! More like platinum! Hugs
So I am letting the episode play again while I write this lengthy answers for you. I am sorry if it turns into a novel. You have been warned....LOL. Again... Thank you. Making these videos is not an easy task. "Unless one has broken an arm, they really do not understand the pain." was one of my Mamma's favourite sayings. #BeckyAcreHomestead needs to see these as they look amazing and more on that later...but back to the task. As I am stuffing my face with a hot tea and peanut butter and home made jam sandwiches that my 17 year old has made me for breakfast.... I am so blessed. Better than any birthday gift {Which just happened earlier this week... yup... I am now 53 and so proud of it} is the beautiful kindness that my children show when I least expect it. Sigh... Love on your babies, they grow way too fast. OH... if you have the kids fill the puff pastries with stuff they like... they will devour it and have the pride that they made dinner.... especially if it is for Daddy and you! and it is not so messy. Again, back to the answers. 1. a) It is a huge answer for what dishes make the holidays. Funny enough...we have a list as we talk about it for months before... every single year and so they get ingrained. We are of a Polish Background so Perogy ... {Which is already plural} ...and my vegetarian hubby has taken it on that he makes them as his portion to making Christmas Eve and Easter. He makes a day of it with the boys and the girls get to go shopping at that point and both have prime time with a single parent. Being that he has a hard sail career and is usually away from home over 200 days a year. So they makes the potatoe and cheese, potatoe and onion, potatoe and pizza toppings.... {Those are made at the same time, but they are for the week between Eves...as a break from left overs} . 1. b) Potatoe Salad. Not just any potatoe salad... it is a three day work of LOVE. Except for the potatoes, every other ingredient is cut down to the size of a pea, so when you have a mouthful, you have some of everything. Hours of cooking, cutting and preparing that we have as a huge family have been able to streamline to one day of eight hours of work to make. My sister Jolanta is the master chef when it comes to the Eve and Easter dinners and hers is the standard we work towards. It cannot be the holidays without making three large Tupperware (c) bowls so there is enough leftovers for all the families can take some home with them. It cannot be frozen, only eaten within the week it was made. Every bite brings one of half a century of memories flooding into my heart. Some of those who made them have passed on [ this includes fur babies ]. Understand I come from the 6 kids my parents had, and our babies count as grandchildren 15, 16 and 17... there are great grand babies and even great great grand babies. Everyone one of them know of the potatoe salad and all adore it. 1. c) is not a dish itself but it is a habit. Nine Dishes and no food till the first star on Christmas Eve. I don't know the all the history to it, but there must be nine dishes and they are all vegetarian and considered peasant food. This makes us all appreciate the fact that we are blessed with so many joys from cars to health care to family to having exotic foods in winter. I love this so much. 2. The puff pastry that you put together was fantastic. I have done something similar, but made them bite size and then refroze them so that I can just put them in the oven when the first guests come on Yule. The kids always loved doing the mini ones because there were so many options and they were not pledged to eat a massive one if they didn't like a particular combo. 3. When raspberry season was upon us, I made the cranberry raspberry sauce, but I canned it, but in small jars so if guests who liked it come over, they can leave with a small jar for their leftovers. Next year is Cranberry and Mango. This should be enough for today. Hugs to the whole family. Hope everyone has a fruitful day.
For me, "the" holiday food is the turkey. Thanksgiving is pretty much the only time of year we eat turkey (we like it, just don't LOVE it enough to make it for everyday meals) so I definitely look forward to my once-a-year turkey. 😋 Oh and the bacon-wrapped deer loin my husband makes for Thanksgiving. He's been doing it for so many years I think I'd have to file for divorce if we showed up at my mom's house without it. 😅😅😅
I love when you share recipes. Bless your sweet family.
Kelsey, you are a great cook with recipes that are so beautiful I can smell them here in my living room. Your family is so lucky to have you as their mom and wife! Have a blessed weekend.
Great video. All of these dishes looked delicious. Love the idea of raspberries added to the cranberries. I’m glad to know everyone liked the dishes. Thank you for making these videos.
Oh my goodness, those all looked mouth-watering good. I can't wait to try them. Your house looks lovely. Thanks again for all you do.
I love making my home made cheesecake with strawberries on top!! Bread stuffing delicious 😊
all those dishes looks excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely trying that puffed pastry situation!! They look so fancy!
Great idea to mix the raspberries and cranberries together. They looked wonderful and I KNOW I will be trying the cranberry dish tomorrow. I just bought two bags of fresh cranberries and was going to try something different - you did it for me. YUM
Thanks for testing these for us!

I know nothing about lefsa, but start now and you will have it perfected for next year. Maybe find a less mentor. You can do it!
@ thank you Kitty! I so appreciate your kind comment. The hardest part has already been accomplished in that I’m pretty sure I’ve got all the equipment needed for the process. It would sure make my mom who turns 85 in mid Dec happy too! Have a great day!
Cornbread dressing. My sister makes the best one I have ever tasted
Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for taking the time to create another wonderful dinner.🦃
Genius move adding the raspberries to the cranberries! Can't wait to try that!
Our family, including myself, anxiously look forward to Turkey, homemade stuffing, and homemade noodles. It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without those.
Those potatoes are very different, but look interesting and yummy!
Thanks for the inspiration
Super yummy looking. I will be trying. Thank you.
I must be on team Matt. I love raw carrots but I’m not a fan of cooked carrots. I love potatoes and even more if you add cheese! That potato dish you made looks amazing! ❤
My husband is the same.
Homemade apple pie and pumpkin pie. Don't usually eat that stuff but must have for Thanksgiving because it was my little boys favorites and he is now 33 years old. He still loves it so I'll be making them along with dinner. 😊
Your recipes look delicious as always. 💕
The potatoes’s looked so delish
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
3:01 Maybe broccolini would be another option to sub for asparagus?

Need to try the asparagus dish !! Thank you for sharing!! Great video
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! Enjoy ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving dear one.
Cranraspberry sauce looed so delicious, but I would have to strain it. Too seedy for me.
👋🇨🇦
Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks! To you as well 🦃 ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving
❤❤❤
For me, it’s stuffing and cranberry sauce

yay im never this early!!! up early to make chili for my coworkers
Hey friend! Good morning ❤
Kelsey, did you like that brand of puff pastry compared with the other?
The sweater you have on while cooking the chicken is adorable! Did you recently get it and can remember where? 😀
Thank you! ☺️ it was an old navy sweater from 2 years back! Not sure if they might have something similar this year ❤️
@ I’ll look, thanks so much! It’s definitely a read a book drink a cup of tea sweater
MMM Good. ❤❤❤❤❤
☺️❤️❤️❤️
Clarification on the potatoes. Video says 1-1/2 cups white cheddar while recipe says 1/3cup? Typo or did you change it up after tasting?
Typo! Thanks for letting me know, I fixed it ☺️
