@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I used to live off that instant kind when I was single, I never had eggs left in the fridge and instant was easy to keep in the cabinet. I'd get home from work make instant cornbread and instant potatoes and go hit the local bar with friends then hit McD's on the way home and start over the next day, and pig out on weekends at a buffet. That was 30 yrs ago, Now I have to cook for my wife and kids, they refuse to eat her cooking unless it's a pie or cake. Just made 5LBs of tacos an hour ago, be lucky if there's enough for 3 more left.
Thank-you for these! I am retired and am cooking for my wife and I. She cooked every day for the first 43 years of our marriage. Now, I have been watching your channel and have been cooking regularly for about 3 months now. She thinks I am a genius, but all I do is follow your videos and she is never disappointed in dinner! I deeply appreciate your easy to follow and delicious recipes.
Hi Mel. I love Hamburger Pie!!!! Sorry I have been MIA. Long story short. I finally found out why I couldn't walk. Was rushed to Tampa General Hospital for emergency spine surgery. I am now walking without the pain I was in before. I should be back on my feet before long. I love these recipes. Quick and easy.
I’ve been stocked up w about a dozen boxes of Jiffy mix in my pantry. So now I’m set to make each one of your recipes here. They all look so good! I especially like how you show what else you serve the dish with to make a complete meal. I just wish there was a “Mel” @ my house to do the cooking for me!😊
I know I say this all the time but I look forward to Sunday nights before I go to bed so I can enjoy your videos. They are always one of my favorites. I'm not sure I mentioned on your last one but when I hear those dinner prayers, ohhh they melt my heart and remind me of the days when I had my Daddy and grandpa to pray. Touches my heart. I can't wait to try some of these recipes. I used to make a recipe with hamburger and onion cooked on the bottom layer, cream corn and cheese layered on the next one and then topped with jiffy. It was always so good. Thank you for the inspiration sweet friend!
Grew up with Jiffy cake mixes back to the 70s. When parents were out for the weekend night at friends for cards or church event, and there weren't other snacks left, I would make a chocolate cake from a single Jiffy box in a single round cake pan. Eat it warm, no frosting out of the oven. 😊😊
Thanks for sharing that sweet memory. Back in the 70s, I discovered Jiffy Mix as a college student, hundreds of miles from home. Those little cake mixes were perfect for baking up in the dorm kitchen, and sharing with roomie, and maybe a friend or two. Happy times.
@@childofgod3675 Eventually I couldn't find the jiffy mix pizza dough, nor the Ragu brand. I ended up learning to make my own pizza dough. A friend suggested using the Joy of Cooking pizza dough recipe. After I moved from Texas to Michigan, I had to use a styrofoam box, warmed up with corn or rice bags, to raise the dough. Picnic cooler works, too. In Texas, for most of the year, I could put the dough in the garage, on top of the washer or dryer, to rise. The sun did the rest.
@@childofgod3675 The great thing about making pizza is that it's essentially a flatbread, and you don't have to worry if it puffs up enough. So it's much easier than a loaf of bread to make.
My best kept secret for having green Bell pepper, and all the other colors, is to dice up the peppers and put them in zip lock bags. Toss the diced pepper into your freezer and always have that wonderful ingredient available on short notice. I do this with onions too. The really nice surprise is that the frozen vegetables are never crunchy in your recipe. If crunchy is what you want , use only fresh.
I love when the grocery store has these peppers on sale. I always stick up and freeze them. Cut for stuffed peppers, diced, or sliced. No matter how I'm going to use them I always have several bags in my freezer if fresh peppers, onions, tomatoes. Etc ..... ❤️🌹❤️
I remember, when I worked at AC Nielsen in chicago, back in 1953, shopping at Krogers and buying JIFFY. it cost 10 cents for a box then. Odd the things a person finds themselves reflecting on. Your video is real timely for me. I've been hankering some Johnny cake. My family used to stew raisins and serve the hot raisin sauce over the Johnny cake. Greetings from upstate New York .
I love that story about your first grade teacher and that you love the recipe because it came from her that's very sweet. I'm gonna give this one a try this week thank you.
Mel, I'm not a very good cook but I love to make casserole dishes for supper. I started watching your videos a couple of months ago and just love everything I watch you fix. So far I've made one of your pasta bake dishes and really enjoyed it and from this video I made the chicken and cornbread casserole and my husband and I both liked it. The next thing I'm going to try is the sloppy joe cornbread bake and after that probably one of your chicken dishes. I retired about 2 1/2 years ago and before that my husband did most of the cooking during the week because he would get home 2 hours before me and start making something. I loved it because he would cook and I would clean up - - pretty good system. However, after I retired it became my job to cook full time, because he's still working, so I started cooking but as you know I quickly went through my normal recipes and was getting tired of repeating the same meals. I started turning to You Tube looking for new things to fix and low and behold I came upon your videos. What a game changer because you are constantly coming up with new ideas and not only that but I really enjoy watching you cook for your family and seeing y'all go on vacation and the adventures that your family has. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to share these recipes with all of us! You are making a difference and helping us out along the way. God Bless and Happy Cooking!! A devoted follower - - Donna Kettler
I hate cooking!! I’d rather clean toilets and I must say, I just made the first recipe and my family Loved it!! I Did add green pepper and you were right , DELICIOUS !! Thank you again for sharing!! Maybe I won’t hate cooking so much anymore and try all your recipes every day! Yummmmm
I made your Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake, it was sooooo good. My son and daughter in-law came up to the cottage for Mother’s Day and I made it for them. They loved it. So so good . Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Momma Mel!! Guess what!! I opened up my lil Jiffy Cornbread box and it WAS in the little sack!! It is May 2, 2023! Just wanted everyone to know the little sack is still being used!
Just found your channel. I keep Jiffy for food storage, but I have to dip into it sometimes because I get a Jiffy craving! When I was a poor grad student with a toddler, we'd have Jiffy with honey and butter on top as a cheap dessert. To make chili stretch, I'd put it over cornbread. It must have been okay, the 'toddler' is a dad with his own toddler now. New sub.
Omg! I was cleaning out my pantry when I decided to make cornbread muffins.i usually browse utube for something to listen to whenever I clean or cook and there you were with this video! I watched and discovered I had most of the ingredients for hamburger skillet pie! Oh my! So yummy! I used corn since I had no peppers but wow so good.such perfect timing I found you!
The hamburger pie reminds me of the tamale pie that was so popular back in the 1950s. I think it was on the back of the yellow corn meal box. My mom always made it and added a drained can of whole kernel corn and sliced black olives. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it... and I am now 72!!!!
My mom made that too! With the olives and corn too! She passed away 7 years ago and I haven’t thought about that recipe since I was in my 20’s. (I just turned 50, whoop whoop!) Thank you for the sweet and yummy memories, I’m going to add the ingredients to my next shopping list. God bless you all. My heart is full tonight….💜🙏🏼💕
When you asked which recipe we wanted to try in the next few weeks - admittedly I had to stop and think to order them for personal priority so my first choice was the Hush puppies ! Mostly because I’ve never tried to make them since I don’t have a deep fat fryer but you’ve given me the idea and courage to try them. I’m 67 years young and I’m an accomplished cook but I wanted to Thank You for your encouragement to try them. Can’t wait. I grew Jp with a Grandma who made ‘scalloped corn’, which is your corn pudding. I’m excited to try yours, too. Also the chicken & broccoli dish, and the 1st of the 7 where I’m gonna use black cleans plus chili beans (mrs. Grimes) Rotel plus the burger, of course.. that’s my plan. Not necessarily in that order but maybe . You know it’s all about what’s immediately available, who’s present for the meal and the time of day……
I have a potluck coming up this Sunday! And I didn't know what to make, but now I'm pretty sure I'm making the sloppy joe bake! It'll go over really well! Thanks for reminding me how much I love jiffy muffin mix
Oh my goodness, all of these recipes look delicious! I love cornbread and Jiffy Mix. I think I will try the hamburger pie first. I make a hot dogs and baked beans casserole topped the same way that we really like, so the hamburger pie should be a hit, too. Thank you for another inspiring video. 😊
Mel, you mention snow days. But girl, you sound so southern . Love listening to you. You have a very soothing voice. And boy do we ever need that in todays world. . Thanks for some of the easiest n tasty recipes I have made watching you. ❤️👏👏👏
Hello Mel, those cornbread recipes bring back so many memories of the ones my mom made when I was kid growing up. All of us loved them. Yes, it is true comfort food. I will be making these. I hope your week is great. Sending blessings from the Tiny House in Texas. ❤😊
Yummy! My grandma used to make sloppy joe mixture, then top with grated cheddar, and then dollop with cornbread mix before cooking. It was always one of my favorites! ❤ Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I remember the folded over Jiffy mix. Girl, these are some delicious meals. Thank you for posting. We are a Jiffy mix family too and it's always in our pantry.
everything and anything but the kitchen sink everything looks 😋 yummy I wish we had smellivision thank you for this video have a great day take care ya'll
Hey sweet Aunt Mel. Hope you're doing well this lovely Sunday evening. Asking you to please keep my brother in your prayers. He's going through a lot. Thank you in advance. Looking forward to tonight's video. Always enjoy getting meal inspiration from you and others. Have a wonderful evening and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.
Hello Mrs.Alma, I will be praying for your brother, love you sweetie & God bless. Sending continued prayers to you & your family. Love from Lula Mae & Family. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Thank you Mel! I just made the chicken cornbread casserole, with my gluten free cornbread, and it was amazing! Will definitely be making more of these recipes ❤️
These are all beautiful rustic dishes. Love your cast iron pans and beautiful baking dishes. Cornbread is a staple for, we Native American people. Your recipes are so beautiful. ❤❤
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing all of these great recipes! I can't wait to try them! I love Jiffy cornbread! I had no idea that you could do so much with it! It's 4:00 a.m. and I didn't eat a bite of anything yesterday and this video has made me so hungry! 😆 Guess what I am going to do in a few hours? Yep! Try out a couple of your recipes. Thanks again.
I love your semi-homemade approach! It's such a great match between convenience and home. I can't believe I've never used Jiffy before! I'm definitely grabbing a box or 2 next week!
I had to laugh when you talked about mixing in the large measuring cup and how you would have done it in a pretty bowl normally for camera. I mix in my large measuring cup all the time and didn’t even notice till you pointed it out! I love how you always keep it real. And love your recipes!
I want to let you know that I had stopped cooking just ate frozen or fast food till I started watching you, you make it all look so easy I have made a few of what I seen you make and my son liked them so you are my earthly Angel I can't say thank you enough
Thanks so much! And that little MOPS cookbook has almost all of my favorites, the hamburger pie is in it! Thank you for watching and supporting me here!
My late husband used to make a dish similar to this. He used Ranch-Style beans instead of pintos and he didnt use tomatoes though. We named it Papas Cowboy Beans. He always made a double batch. One time he made it but by mistake he added banana nut muffin mix instead of 2 boxes of cornmeal mix. It didnt taste bad at all, but you could taste the banana nut flavor. We never make it now without someone offering a reminder not to use banana nut muffin mix and we all have a giggle.
That Hamburger Pie looks delicious, thank you for sharing. And by the way, I love your attitude, you are so sweet & friendly, & humble too. I love all your recipes.
Like you, I'm in love with Jiffy mix. Thank you for all the recipes, can't wait to make the hushpuppies. The chicken mix with enchilada sauce sounds yummy too. !!!! Love that you're so down to earth!
Welcome and thank you for your kind words, you are the sweetest. I'm so happy that you found your way here and I hope you come back often for more food and fun!
Yum!! All look so good! You should try some cauliflower cornbread! Beware though, it’s super rich and not for those looking to lose weight 😂 just cook up 4 boxes of jiffy like normal, when it’s done, you break it all up in the pan with a fork. Add 1-2 sticks of butter (yup, here’s the richness lol) and mix up. Add steamed cauliflower, s&p and mix up again. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake until melted. It’s soooo good and creamy! Watch out, it’s addicting lol
I love those old church ladies cookbooks. I have a few from my grandmothers' churches as well as different groups. Those are the tried and true recipes.
Thank you for these recipies, I am always looking for new ideas since I don’t go out to eat , instead I cook which means always looking for different ideas
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤️ i enjoy watching your videos. Thank you neighbor us southern girls loves these easy and good dishes for our family. Much love to you.❤
Been watching your videos - love 'em. You have a natural talent and come across so sincere and sweet! And a great accent ! I'm a deep south girl from Looziana! Love how you say "Fancy" - it's a southern thing!
You make me drool with those Hush Puppies we would go to Cherokee for R&R the guys (Army days) would fish for trout and the Hush Puppies were cooked in the same oil. They were so good this brought back a very wonderful memory.
YUM TO ALL OF EM! Thank u once again Mel for sharing simple, inexpensive, yummy recipes. I can't decide which I'll try first but they all are money savers & that's just an awesome plus! The hush puppies are made similar to Matzo Balls - u get a thicker dough when u let them rest and the eggs work thru the dough. Thank u again for these wonderful staple dinners! Sending u love from snowy Michigan! 🙋♀️✋💝🍽🍲
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel They are delish! Here's the simple recipe: 2 Tbsp Olive Oil or Chicken Schmaltz, 2 eggs, 5oz Cracker meal or Matzo (I want to try crushing other yummy crackers) Seasoning & LET REST IN FRIG for 20 mins-1 hour then form balls & drop into hot broth. My brother is orthodox but I believe the whole book of Galatians talks about NOT combining orthodoxy & grace VERY CLEARLY. I love freedom & grace in the Spirit, & wouldn't dare think of improving to or adding to salvation by simple faith. Hope u love the recipe - u see, it's very similar to ur hushpuppies! 🙋♀️💞
I have my eye on the cornbread with chicken and gravy mixture! All of the recipes look delicious, and I thank you so much for sharing them! Have a blessed week, Mel!
Hi Mel! I made the chicken and cornbread for dinner tonight. We both just loved it! Thanks again for sharing this delicious recipe. I’ll definitely be making it again!
Ih what wonderful recipes, Mel! Great ideas, and great teaching to us! You make cooking sound relaxing, rather than the frantic panic I sometimes take to the kitchen. I especially can't wait to try the broccoli cornbread❣️
I make the Manwch & jiffy corn bread mix a lot of times, I call it Manwich Bread. I loved all your Jiffy Cornbread Recipes. Will try them soon. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber.
Hello 🤗, this video is awesome 👍👍👍 I love everything.these are all so delicious and easy.i really can't wait to try each one.thank you so much for sharing 💖👍👍 hv a beautiful day everyone ❤️🧡💙💛🤗
I haven’t found Jiffy here inSouthern Ontario Canada. My daughter and SIL went to Orlando with the grandkids. I asked them to buy me the Jiffy. They brought me back 10 boxes. First 7 are spoken for so I can try your recipes! I’m going to feel very southern!
I buy the BIG box of Jiffy mix! As I'm watching you do these recipes, I thought how good my spicy chili would taste over that cornbread as a variation on the sloppy Joe mix. All of these recipes are enticing and I want to try them....and I bet that broccoli cornbread side would be really good with some leftover rotisserie chicken mixed in.. I'm subscribing so I can easily find you again!
Hi mel.happy Sunday 😊 i liked them all yes you can do alot with a box of jiffy mix 😉 hope you have a wonderful week thank you ..😊 the hush puppy mix you can put corn and cheese in and add jalapeños if you like them i love them

Curious; do they still make the instant mix where you only need water? I haven't seen it in stores in years, only the one you need an egg for.
I've never seen it either

@@debc7341 thank you, Deb. I truly appreciate that.
@@lulamaemcrae3032 thank you, Lula. We're continuing to pray for you and Oscar. Hope you're feeling a lot better today.
Yes I remember the folded paper of jiffy mix. I also remember when they were only $0.15 cents! Oh my how old are we? LOL
Thank you Mel! I just made the chicken cornbread casserole, with my gluten free cornbread, and it was amazing! Will definitely be making more of these recipes ❤️
These are all beautiful rustic dishes. Love your cast iron pans and beautiful baking dishes. Cornbread is a staple for, we Native American people. Your recipes are so beautiful. ❤❤
Thank you so much for this beautiful and kind comment ❤️
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing all of these great recipes! I can't wait to try them! I love Jiffy cornbread! I had no idea that you could do so much with it! It's 4:00 a.m. and I didn't eat a bite of anything yesterday and this video has made me so hungry! 😆 Guess what I am going to do in a few hours? Yep! Try out a couple of your recipes. Thanks again.
I love your semi-homemade approach! It's such a great match between convenience and home. I can't believe I've never used Jiffy before! I'm definitely grabbing a box or 2 next week!
I had to laugh when you talked about mixing in the large measuring cup and how you would have done it in a pretty bowl normally for camera. I mix in my large measuring cup all the time and didn’t even notice till you pointed it out! I love how you always keep it real. And love your recipes!
I want to let you know that I had stopped cooking just ate frozen or fast food till I started watching you, you make it all look so easy I have made a few of what I seen you make and my son liked them so you are my earthly Angel I can't say thank you enough
Love your hair! I still have a copy of one of your church cookbooks. Refer to it often!
Thanks so much! And that little MOPS cookbook has almost all of my favorites, the hamburger pie is in it! Thank you for watching and supporting me here!
These meals look delicious Mel! I want to try every one of them! Funny thing - I just found 2 boxes of Jiffy mix in the back of my pantry yesterday! 🤗
So sweet about your teacher’s recipe!
I love the Lucks beans 🤗
Me too! They are really close to home made pintos LOL Sometimes I will just heat them and add some water and they really taste like the real deal.
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel oh yes 🤗 so so good!!
My late husband used to make a dish similar to this. He used Ranch-Style beans instead of pintos and he didnt use tomatoes though. We named it Papas Cowboy Beans. He always made a double batch.
One time he made it but by mistake he added banana nut muffin mix instead of 2 boxes of cornmeal mix. It didnt taste bad at all, but you could taste the banana nut flavor.
We never make it now without someone offering a reminder not to use banana nut muffin mix and we all have a giggle.
That Hamburger Pie looks delicious, thank you for sharing. And by the way, I love your attitude, you are so sweet & friendly, & humble too. I love all your recipes.
Like you, I'm in love with Jiffy mix. Thank you for all the recipes, can't wait to make the hushpuppies. The chicken mix with enchilada sauce sounds yummy too. !!!! Love that you're so down to earth!
I'm new to your channel. I loved all of these recipes. I could listen to you all day. Your voice is so calming.
Welcome and thank you for your kind words, you are the sweetest. I'm so happy that you found your way here and I hope you come back often for more food and fun!
Thank you for these great recipes. I love that you use simple, everyday ingredients.
I’m a huge Jiffy fan to. I cannot wait to try these.
Yum!! All look so good! You should try some cauliflower cornbread! Beware though, it’s super rich and not for those looking to lose weight 😂 just cook up 4 boxes of jiffy like normal, when it’s done, you break it all up in the pan with a fork. Add 1-2 sticks of butter (yup, here’s the richness lol) and mix up. Add steamed cauliflower, s&p and mix up again. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake until melted. It’s soooo good and creamy! Watch out, it’s addicting lol
Ok when you said, “Fancy had one chance and she let me down”! I became a new subscriber!
🤣 that was a crazy week, gotta laugh or cry and I will always choose to laugh!
Sorry, I really do not understand what that means,
@@yvonnelake3296 , this is a lyric from a Reba Macintyre song.
@@joaroy6028 Thanks!
I love those old church ladies cookbooks. I have a few from my grandmothers' churches as well as different groups. Those are the tried and true recipes.
Yes, those are the recipes from the trenches LOL
Thank you for these recipies, I am always looking for new ideas since I don’t go out to eat , instead I cook which means always looking for different ideas
Hi there, just wanted to say, I love your accent, and if Ree Drummond, can have her own cooking show, so can you. Sending you much love.
Wow! Thanks for the tip on doing a screen shot on recipe! I did that immediately! 😊
Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤️ i enjoy watching your videos. Thank you neighbor us southern girls loves these easy and good dishes for our family. Much love to you.❤
Wow! They all look soo good and easy!!! Thanks for sharing 👍
Been watching your videos - love 'em. You have a natural talent and come across so sincere and sweet! And a great accent !
I'm a deep south girl from Looziana! Love how you say "Fancy" - it's a southern thing!
I love your channel. Its a comfort to me and the recipes are delish.
Hey my jiffy mix at my little town Walmart still sells jiffy mix in that little paper sack 🤣💕 I can’t wait to try all of these!
I just made a pour over corn bread dish and my Jiffy package was the older style wax paper folded down. Thanks for the videos.
Looks Delicious Thumbs up
I love watching you and it makes me feel good. all looks good
Thank YOU so much, you have brightened my day!
i loved them all, the first one and the broccoli cornbread sounded yummy.
Wow, how do I choose which one to make this week? They all look great. Thanks Mel!
Ive been looking for a channel like yours oh my word Im Sooooooo excited Thankyou im spreading this your a gift missy ...... thank you 🎉❤
You make me drool with those Hush Puppies we would go to Cherokee for R&R the guys (Army days) would fish for trout and the Hush Puppies were cooked in the same oil. They were so good this brought back a very wonderful memory.
YUM TO ALL OF EM! Thank u once again Mel for sharing simple, inexpensive, yummy recipes. I can't decide which I'll try first but they all are money savers & that's just an awesome plus! The hush puppies are made similar to Matzo Balls - u get a thicker dough when u let them rest and the eggs work thru the dough. Thank u again for these wonderful staple dinners! Sending u love from snowy Michigan!
🙋♀️✋💝🍽🍲
Awh, thanks so much for your sweet words of encouragement Sandy, I appreciate you! Hope you love these all and I need to try the Matzo Balls!
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel They are delish! Here's the simple recipe: 2 Tbsp Olive Oil or Chicken Schmaltz, 2 eggs, 5oz Cracker meal or Matzo (I want to try crushing other yummy crackers) Seasoning & LET REST IN FRIG for 20 mins-1 hour then form balls & drop into hot broth. My brother is orthodox but I believe the whole book of Galatians talks about NOT combining orthodoxy & grace VERY CLEARLY. I love freedom & grace in the Spirit, & wouldn't dare think of improving to or adding to salvation by simple faith.
Hope u love the recipe - u see, it's very similar to ur hushpuppies! 🙋♀️💞
I have my eye on the cornbread with chicken and gravy mixture! All of the recipes look delicious, and I thank you so much for sharing them! Have a blessed week, Mel!
Oh yeah, do that one, it is so stinking delicious!
Hi Mel! I made the chicken and cornbread for dinner tonight. We both just loved it! Thanks again for sharing this delicious recipe. I’ll definitely be making it again!
Awesome ❤️ that tickles me so much that you guys loved it too!
Ih what wonderful recipes, Mel! Great ideas, and great teaching to us! You make cooking sound relaxing, rather than the frantic panic I sometimes take to the kitchen. I especially can't wait to try the broccoli cornbread❣️
Well, how sweet 😊 Thank you so much for watching
Hey Mel, I love watching you cook! I’m trying the chicken casserole today and can’t wait to serve it to my family. Thank you for making these videos!
Looks Delicious
MOMMMMMMMMMMA! I was just waiting on you to post!! I need some ideas❤
Here you go friend! Hope you love them!
THANKS FOR SHARING THESE RECIPES, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL OF THEM
I am really excited that I found your channel. Love me some jiffy cornbread. Can't wait to try the hushpuppy recipe.
I make the Manwch & jiffy corn bread mix a lot of times, I call it Manwich Bread.
I loved all your Jiffy Cornbread Recipes. Will try them soon. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber.
Hello 🤗, this video is awesome 👍👍👍 I love everything.these are all so delicious and easy.i really can't wait to try each one.thank you so much for sharing 💖👍👍 hv a beautiful day everyone ❤️🧡💙💛🤗
I haven’t found Jiffy here inSouthern Ontario Canada. My daughter and SIL went to Orlando with the grandkids. I asked them to buy me the Jiffy. They brought me back 10 boxes. First 7 are spoken for so I can try your recipes! I’m going to feel very southern!
I do enjoy all your videos and love when you cook them take care
I buy the BIG box of Jiffy mix! As I'm watching you do these recipes, I thought how good my spicy chili would taste over that cornbread as a variation on the sloppy Joe mix. All of these recipes are enticing and I want to try them....and I bet that broccoli cornbread side would be really good with some leftover rotisserie chicken mixed in.. I'm subscribing so I can easily find you again!
A must try! Thanks!
❤️ them ALL!!!
I have got to stop watching these recipes at night! 😫🤤 Will definitely be trying these!
Love all the Receipts !!!!💗💗💗💗💗
Hi mel.happy Sunday 😊 i liked them all yes you can do alot with a box of jiffy mix 😉 hope you have a wonderful week thank you ..😊 the hush puppy mix you can put corn and cheese in and add jalapeños if you like them i love them
