Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for my hubby and I. He had his Pulmonary specialist appointment last week and found out he might be able to come off the oxygen after his hernia surgery. We ask you to please continue to pray for us. God Bless.
I love that you two have a wonderful sense of humor! Watching you two interact here made me feel almost like I was in your kitchen, spending fun time with friends.😃
Hey Mandy!! The easiest way for me to use parchment paper is to roll it in a ball, then press it out again with your hands, it makes it manageable for sure! Steven is a great Common Tater Love the shirt🤣 My hubby had a TShirt the same color, but it represented the Hostess Cupcake Swirl on it, cause that was his nick name at work(Cupcake)I packed him a cake cake everyday in his lunchbox so it stuck🤣 The guys also had a cup cake ornament made for him one Christmas😀😀 Great Video❤️❤️
My husband told me for the first few years of our marriage that he was allergic to mustard. I went with it for awhile until I found out he was just extremely picky. I eventually started adding mustard to various recipes that required it, and there were no signs of reactions. I finally made a recipe where one of the main ingredients in the sauce was mustard. He LoVeD it! I called him out on his “allergy” and he finally confessed he just didn’t like it 😂
Watching with my3 month old puppy asleep on my lap and Steven was reading Ann’s comment. When he said Ann’s cat’s name, Oliver, he raised his head up. I was so proud! You see, when I got him at 12 weeks old, his name was Hugo. I thought he looked like an Oliver!! HE KNOWS HIS NAME!!! Thank you for sharing your videos with us! Love the way you all interact with each other. Miss when Cole isn’t with you! Growing boy to man that he is! Take care!
These three ingredient recipes are all great. I have done the stuffed sweet peppers and they are great! A tip for anyone on WW, these are "point friendly" snacks. Loved the crescent roll-quacomole-bacon snack! Yum! Really these are all delicious looking! Thank you so much Mandy! Steven, you're doing a great job as the Common-Tater! Loved Miss Gracie-Lou's appearances! Have a wonderful week! 🙏💕😊
I make a dip with cream cheese on the bottom, top with no bean chili and top with shredded Mexican cheese. It’s nice to see Gracie Lou. She is so sweet. I love the easy dessert. Great recipes forSuper Bowl.❤️
Omgoodness how do you keep a straight face ever?! I've been married a looong time and I have a man that keeps me laughing ! What a blessing you both are!
Hi Mandy, my favorite way to make the Rolo and pretzel snack is to put a pecan or pecan half on top. It’s like a turtle. The m&m way is chocolate on chocolate. That’s too much of the same thing. I hope you’ll try it with the pecan. It’s the best snack ever! I love your whole family including the cat.
Mandy we are going to need to hear the Walmart story now lol. I’ve watched you for a long time and don’t remember you ever sharing this. Love you and your family and especially the new common tatter segment.
Mandy, I wish I had a special kitchen trick for you, but I don’t. What I do have is a huge appreciation for your recipes and making it fun. It’s funny how Gracie has an admirer cause my doggy just loves to see Gracie when she meows for cheese, my doggy will run up to the tv and wants to play with her. Love y’all from Oregon 😘
I love these recipes!! Don't you love that air fryer? My husband and I both were in the hospital at the same time and our 2 adult sons learned all types of things that could be cooked quicker and better than the microwave or oven. I enjoy hearing you talk about your faith also. I'm a Christian and love to hear others not shy away from spreading the Lord's name. 🙏🏻 Thank you!!
Please share why you no longer shop at Walmart. Not favorite place, but I'm in a rural area and that's the only option unless you want to drive over an hour every time you need groceries.
Mandy and Steven love how loving and full of fun you all have. A couple ideas for pretzel candy. Instead of M & M use a pecan or a peanut M & M Also the mini rollos have no wrappers. Also for the parchment paper for fudge cut your paper as wide as your pan and cut 2 strips and criss cross them in the pan. Fits nicely and just lift out the paper with excess. Peppers can be wrapped in egg roll wrappers after they are stuffed. That way they are all contained with a crispy out side. Enjoy the video today.😂😇
Mandy to prepare the parchment, turn the casserole dish over. Use your thumb and forefinger to just pinch at each corner. Then put the parchment on the counter and fold along the lines up to each corner. Where the parchment comes together at each corner, just make one slit with your scissors up to the main line. Put the parchment into your casserole now and where you’ve cut at the corners, the parchment could just overlap. I hope this makes sense because it is much easier to watch a demo. Have fun with it. Good luck. I really enjoy your videos!
big fan love these vidoes. 1)crumble up the parchment paper(thats the trick i use).2) get the non bagged spinach:that way you can cut off all the stems at once. give gracey a cheese treat for me!
Mandy and Steven, your videos are the highlight of my days when they are on. You bring much laughter and joy to this older lady and I just love your whole family. Thank you for all you do and share. I've tried several of your recipes and have never been disappointed. Love to Gracie Lou too ❤ 😻
Mandy, all of these recipes look SO good. I especially can’t wait to try the guacamole-bacon-biscuit one. YUM! Now for Stephen’s comment, “It’s rich but… “ I was on the edge of my chair waiting for him to say “It’s rich but light”. We had a friend that after having a piece of Dream Pie (which is a well known Jello Pudding Pie) that I made, said “It’s light but rich”. I could absolutely see Stephen say that!!
Hey Mandy! My mom used to make something very similar to the bean dip...she would cook a pound of ground beef and taco seasoning, drain it, then mix in a can of refried beans and a jar of salsa. She'd add a thick layer of cheese and bake it; once it came out of the oven, she would top it with sour cream & serve it with Tortilla chips for dinner. Honestly, we used to call it dog food because it was ugly BUT it was DELICIOUS!!
Hi Guy's! Love you all so much, you make my day! I ask my husband how he likes new recipes and he will say, "It is ok or it's alright", the only way I know he really likes it is if he goes back for seconds. I really wish he was more willing to or try new things, he is very picky. We have one of my adult children living with us and helping us out. He gives a lot of input into what I make. Made a chicken in the crackpot last week that called for white wine only a 1/4 cup and Vermouth 2 tablespoons and some seasonings, easy through in crackpot. The husband ate it and said it was alright. Son said he didn't like the taste but was trying to eat it, I laughed at the look on his face and said, "You don't have to eat it" 😂 I liked it! They both like oreos and fudge so I will be trying this!
My father in law makes 2 ingredient peanut butter fudge and it’s so easy and yummy! He takes a can/tub/container of premade cake frosting, vanilla flavor, and a 16 oz. jar of creamy peanut butter. Warms them both in the microwave for a few seconds until melty and smooth, mix them together and let set in the fridge! Add M&Ms if you want! It’s so good, he sent my son home with some yesterday and we love it!!
Thank you for these easy appetizers! I've made the Rolo pretzels before but put half a pecan on top. Another easy one is popped popcorn (I use the microwave kind) drizzled with melted white chocolate. I used a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate and stirred it often to distribute it. It's a great salty/sweet treat.
Oh my Mandy I have done similar to what you did with the little peppers with the regular large ones to use them up but just cutting them into the sections that show on the big peppers. I used my leftover stuffing with sausage in it I also have used leftover chicken and rice casserole and put sharp cheddar on top they were crazy good so I am definitely going to try it with the cheese spread you showed I am a cream cheese lover I could just eat it plain 😆 I just love you so much with all your ideas and I have used many of them. Love you so much there isn't a day that goes by that you are not on my TV you are so fortunate to have such a beautiful family. Blessings to you all 💘
That fudge looks so good! I want to make that for Valentine’s Day with pink sprinkles on top! Update: I made the fudge and it tastes like my favorite candy bar - Hersheys cookies and creme. 10/10!!
@@recoveringsoul755 Two years ago when I became housebound it was great to have all pantry items delivered to my door thru walmart ship, (my one horse town has No Delivery), but recently they have cut way down what they will ship to your house. No canned goods???? If somebody has to deliver my canned goods they may as well deliver everything else. I think Wmt was trying to compete with Amazon and fell way short. Thanks for letting me vent.
I make similar bean dip! We do beans, sour cream, pace, cheese then layer another round on top. It is amazing! Always asked for to bring to parties! 😍 love watching you all!
Oh my goodness! 😆 When Steven did the 'reporting in' demonstration, Mandy, you had that 'Beam me up Scotty' look on your face 🤣 😂 😆 You two really crack me up, you should call your channel, 'Dinner and a show.' I love it, I look forward to your next video all the time. Love you guys
@Mandy in the Making That is too funny. Your channel is not only a cooking channel, it's also very entertaining and seeing it coming from such a sweet wholesome southern family warms my heart and it's something I look forward to seeing every time you post a new video, and with you guys, we never know what to expect.....😂😆😂
I've made the Oreo fudge before. You have to "drain" the cookie pieces in a colander first so your fudge will be whiter and not so "muddy" looking. Love your channel!❤
Hi Mandy, Usually that method with the tin is if you use aluminium foil. I do that myself. I usually cut the parchment paper, slits from the corner or cut a square out of corner so it looks like a cross and fits in the tin. its easier to show than describe
Kitchen tip with the wax paper try and ball it up and straighten it back out to form it's shape better! I saw mama Mel do it on one of her videos and it's a life saver!!
Thank you for being so kind, sweet and for sharing those recipes..I have game night at my house occasionally and those recipes look easy plus delicious. Love you and Steven since you both are an amazing couple. ❤️❤️ I miss my hubby who passed away coming up on 1yr Valentine's day.
Hi Mandy I watch u all the time. I am from ambridge Pennsylvania. Here is a recipe for you. Called sassy Frank's 2 cans of sauce 1 can of paste 1 can tomato soup. Had Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Add 1 to 2 packages. Green pepper 🫑 and onion 🧅. Let it simmer until it's warm enough to eat. You serve with homemade mash potatoes. This is my favorite recipe my mom made me when I was young child. I hope you like this recipe too. Enjoy God bless you and your family
Enjoy your videos. The oreo recipe you may want to add a tablespoon of salted butter to take the sweet edge off. Like that idea. If a recipe has more than 4 ingredients in it I won't make it. One that we loved was a can of cream of chicken soup. Using the small shell pasta with enough water to cover them to cook. Don't drain the water out. Should be enough water left to dilute the soup. Like eating it with salty chips. So easy. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us.
I love your videos especially when you and Steven interact. You seem so great together, lots of laughter. I just celebrated our 49 wedding anniversary in January. Believe me, the ability to laugh together is key to a lasting marriage. Your recipes looked great, also.
Hey Mandy! I love your channel so much. The trick you used for the parchment paper was for foil! A great way to get parchment paper to lay down is to crumble it up like your throwing it in the trash, then uncrumble it and it will lay flat. A tip from one baker/cook to another!!!❤❤❤
Steven makes me laugh and your reaction to him is hilarious. Love watching your family interact, including Gracie. I have tried many of you4 recipes and we have liked them all . Thank you for sharing .🥰
Mandy I don’t either shop at Walmart anymore Can’t take it in there I love all your recipes I just can’t eat hot spicy foods Stephen and You just make me so happy watching you both You make laugh so much God bless you 🙏🏻☮️✝️
Just a little tip for the peppers leave the stem end on just cut the pepper in have and take the seeds out so now it’s like a boat that way the stuffing may stay in better we do this for all our peppers we will take mild or hot yellow & jalapeño peppers and cut in have take out seeds and some of the rib and take chunky cheese cut it in to slices and had bbq sauce on it and bbq or cook in the over yummy
Mandy, I got 4 min into this video and laughed so hard at the Scooter story! I have cracked ribs so it hurt to laugh but I needed it. My husband will not touch seafood at all and we had a tiff over contamination on a plate (he doesn't like things touching each other) I had a moment and brought up the sins of his food preferences and how I already raised a child and before I walked out of the room I said BTW For 9 years you have been eating anchovies in our pasta sauce I busted out laughing and he looked so confused! i'm going to finish your video now and thank you for being you!
Great appetizers! Steven was in fine form this episode. I absolutely love the banter and humor between the two of you! This is by far my favorite episode just because you both are having so much fun.
With the parchment, cut on side to fit exactly the width but hanging over the length, then do the opposite sides the same, making a sling. It's the bunches up corners that make it cumbersome. By the way, you guys have me in stitches a LOT of the time (this time it was the "reporting back" part where Steven does the sound effects and Mandy has the serious look, then Steven's explaining) 😂
I made the Rolo treats two times during Christmas. We did square too. I made both dark and milk chocolate rolos. Gave a choice to people that like them. They do sell them wrapped. I always think they taste different though and couldn’t find them during Christmas. I press or tap. Depends how melted they are.
I did that with cookies when my oldest was about 2. We were out of chips ahoy cookies, so I tried to give her a different cookie, but she would have no part of it. I finally gave up trying to give her a cookie and threw the cookie into the chips ahoy bag. That did the trick. She didn't have a problem with the cookie she wanted to reach her hand into the bag and get it herself!
Mandy I am planning our weekend snacks and Oreo fudge and bean dip will be on it. Thank you. You and Steven always make me laugh. Thank you for a spark of sunshine on this cold , gray Pennsylvania afternoon.
Okay, not me sitting here watching this video and laughing so loud, my son, hubby and both cats, came running. You both just slay me with your banter. My son is not a fan of anything really in the crockpot, so when I recreate your goodies, it is a chore to get him to try them. But as far as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, or any cheese for that matter, the MORE THE BETTER!!! Hugs to you both.
I love to watch the two of you it is wonderful. I love how easy it is to make what you make and put my own spin on it to maybe feed my pocket eater daughter. Can't wait to try things to feed my grandsons in a few months. Please keep giving great recipes to try. If gonna make anything off RUclips I love what I see from you. Thank you so very much for that. As always Love ❣️❣️ and Hugs 🤗🤗🤗 from Sheboygan, WI.
My husbands sister got us hooked on crescent rolls with whipped strawberry cream cheese in the middle. Take your can crescent rolls an add the strawberry stuff lol. Then roll them up. An bake as per directions.
I'm so happy I found you because all your recipes are basic things that we have in our home or can easily get. I sent so many of your recipes for myself. Thank you for doing this and as an animal lover Gracie Lou is so pretty.
Mandy, since I am a widow, I love eating appetizers for my supper but I mix them up, probably two. I don’t like to go asleep very full and I eat early ❤🌲🌹🙏
I remember the sloppy Joe casserole that Steven hated and I remember he described the taste as “musty” because of all of the excess cream cheese that’s the same reason my brother doesn’t like cream cheese he thinks it tastes “musty”. I love watching you guys and I love your recipes I would try the stuffed peppers with the cheese without cooking them as I love the crunch of the sweet bell peppers just add the cheese and honey and eat them as an appetizer or lunch especially in the summertime no heating necessary. God Bless I try and keep you all in my prayers.🙏🏼💞
The pepper recipe you made, reminds me of a peppers recipe that I've made for years. I use the same kind of peppers and half them and gut them. And then you put feta cheese inside a little bit of olive oil and then you put chopped black olives on top and you cook it in the oven, air fryer like you did, or in a barbecue grill and it comes out amazing.
Watching you and your husband is such a delight. You all are the cutest couple on you tube. And I love Gracie Lou. You all bring happiness to a gloomy day. Lark 🤗👍❤️
Mandy I just love you and your family. You are truly such a blessing to so many of us. I was wondering if you could do a video of things we could make with over ripe bananas, besides banana bread or muffins. Sometimes they get eaten right away and sometimes I'll have 4 or 5 that i end up freezing for bread because I don't want to waste them. Thank you.
I dont know how they are exactly made but my Aunt makes Ritz Rolos for desserts at get togethers and boy howdy they are good! Just 2 ritz crackers with a melty rolo in the middle! So Good!
I did that replace thing for my hubby too. He loves sweet tea. One time I replaced it with Splenda artificial sweetener. He never new the difference! He heard me later bragging on it to my sister and he denied that I did it🤣🤣. So I know it can be done. Also as far as cream cheese. In a lot of recipes I use the different flavored cream cheeses depending on the recipe. I only like plain cream cheese spread on my bagels 🥯 😋. I made those Rollo pretzels with pecans for Christmas. Everyone loved them.
When you cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper put sharp creases in it then you can crease the corners so it fits in the pan, you were on the right track.
If I need a good laugh yall are it. I don't shop walmart either. Just quit liking them long time ago. Never buy their meat. The best refried beans ive found are the Bush brand or the freeze dried ones that come in a bag. The lady with the cereal story was hilarious. Im still laughing about that one. I do love all the finger food recipes. Thanks
I made dozens of the rolo pretzel "turtles" for the Christmas season. Personally I like the mini pretzels better than the square ones because the carmel has more room to spread out. I topped them with toasted pecans, and they are delicious. Everyone asked for the recipe. They couldn't believe how easy to make. My hubby made a lot of them for me, and didn't complain at all! Lol. Try the pecans, I think you'll love them.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for my hubby and I. He had his Pulmonary specialist appointment last week and found out he might be able to come off the oxygen after his hernia surgery. We ask you to please continue to pray for us. God Bless.
Always 👍💛🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You got it 🙏 ❤️
🙏
Still praying 🙏❤️
Always! 🙏
I love recipes that don't use a bunch of ingredients. Thank you!
Steve cracks me up!! The look on your face about his reporting was hilarious!!!
I love that you two have a wonderful sense of humor! Watching you two interact here made me feel almost like I was in your kitchen, spending fun time with friends.😃

Bet that Oreo fudge would be less sweet and rich with a half block of cream cheese in it! Lol
Your tip works great!
Best hack ever! I always do this now! 🙂

That's pretty genius!! Lol 😆
I say that about mayonnaise 😂
My ex was the same with ground turkey. It took him a year before he caught me using it. He never had a problem after that 🤣
Lol!! I tell everyone I’m allergic to seafood!
Watching with my3 month old puppy asleep on my lap and Steven was reading Ann’s comment. When he said Ann’s cat’s name, Oliver, he raised his head up. I was so proud! You see, when I got him at 12 weeks old, his name was Hugo. I thought he looked like an Oliver!! HE KNOWS HIS NAME!!! Thank you for sharing your videos with us! Love the way you all interact with each other. Miss when Cole isn’t with you! Growing boy to man that he is! Take care!
I for one would love to hear your "Why I don't shop at Walmart anymore" story 👍🏻
These three ingredient recipes are all great. I have done the stuffed sweet peppers and they are great! A tip for anyone on WW, these are "point friendly" snacks. Loved the crescent roll-quacomole-bacon snack! Yum! Really these are all delicious looking! Thank you so much Mandy! Steven, you're doing a great job as the Common-Tater!

I make a dip with cream cheese on the bottom, top with no bean chili and top with shredded Mexican cheese. It’s nice to see Gracie Lou. She is so sweet. I love the easy dessert. Great recipes forSuper Bowl.❤️
If you can get rosarita brand refried beans try those. You can even get jalapeno refried beans.
Omgoodness how do you keep a straight face ever?! I've been married a looong time and I have a man that keeps me laughing ! What a blessing you both are!
Just crumple up your parchment paper into a ball, uncrumple it and it forms easily to your pan. Wetting it beforehand helps, too.
Hi Mandy, my favorite way to make the Rolo and pretzel snack is to put a pecan or pecan half on top. It’s like a turtle. The m&m way is chocolate on chocolate. That’s too much of the same thing.

Agreed! It's not my favorite store to begin with!
Honestly, I won't shop there anymore. If they act that way towards Mandy....bye walmart.
She did share the story on one of the more recent videos. Basically, a Walmart employee was extremely rude to her.

Just an idea. When you cut dough into square for cups. Try placing in dough on top of pan. And then slice them an push squares in the cups.
That fudge looks so good! I want to make that for Valentine’s Day with pink sprinkles on top!
Update: I made the fudge and it tastes like my favorite candy bar - Hersheys cookies and creme. 10/10!!
Ohh- those crescent guac bacon thingies- what a amazing idea! I am so going to try that!
Now…
Do tell about why you don’t shop Wally World!
Also, you two are actually so funny and a joy to watch 😂❤
I want to know why they don't shop there too. My granddaughter doesn't like w.w. because they don't treat their employees to great.

I've made the Oreo fudge before. You have to "drain" the cookie pieces in a colander first so your fudge will be whiter and not so "muddy" looking. Love your channel!❤
Mandy, thanks for the links to your kitchen gadget favorites, most requested & must haves!❤
Hi Mandy, Usually that method with the tin is if you use aluminium foil. I do that myself. I usually cut the parchment paper, slits from the corner or cut a square out of corner so it looks like a cross and fits in the tin. its easier to show than describe
Kitchen tip with the wax paper try and ball it up and straighten it back out to form it's shape better! I saw mama Mel do it on one of her videos and it's a life saver!!
I made your taco soup. I did not have cream cheese so I used Festa Nacho cheese soup. It came out creamy and delicious. Loved it.
Sounds great!
Thank you for being so kind, sweet and for sharing those recipes..I have game night at my house occasionally and those recipes look easy plus delicious. Love you and Steven since you both are an amazing couple. ❤️❤️ I miss my hubby who passed away coming up on 1yr Valentine's day.
you guys are funny. lol Steven should be a food critic for food network. lol he describes every bit of food lol
Hi Mandy I watch u all the time. I am from ambridge Pennsylvania. Here is a recipe for you. Called sassy Frank's 2 cans of sauce 1 can of paste 1 can tomato soup. Had Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Add 1 to 2 packages. Green pepper 🫑 and onion 🧅. Let it simmer until it's warm enough to eat. You serve with homemade mash potatoes. This is my favorite recipe my mom made me when I was young child. I hope you like this recipe too. Enjoy God bless you and your family
I love Stephen he is so silly when he tries what you make it makes me want to try the recipes
Enjoy your videos. The oreo recipe you may want to add a tablespoon of salted butter to take the sweet edge off. Like that idea. If a recipe has more than 4 ingredients in it I won't make it. One that we loved was a can of cream of chicken soup. Using the small shell pasta with enough water to cover them to cook. Don't drain the water out. Should be enough water left to dilute the soup. Like eating it with salty chips. So easy. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us.
I love your videos especially when you and Steven interact. You seem so great together, lots of laughter. I just celebrated our 49 wedding anniversary in January. Believe me, the ability to laugh together is key to a lasting marriage. Your recipes looked great, also.
Mandy and Steven, always entertaining!! ♥️
You and Steven are such a pair! Love watching you two and then, of course, the recipes!!
Hey Mandy! I love your channel so much. The trick you used for the parchment paper was for foil! A great way to get parchment paper to lay down is to crumble it up like your throwing it in the trash, then uncrumble it and it will lay flat. A tip from one baker/cook to another!!!❤❤❤
Steven makes me laugh and your reaction to him is hilarious. Love watching your family interact, including Gracie. I have tried many of you4 recipes and we have liked them all . Thank you for sharing .🥰
Mandy I don’t either shop at Walmart anymore Can’t take it in there I love all your recipes I just can’t eat hot spicy foods Stephen and You just make me so happy watching you both You make laugh so much God bless you 🙏🏻☮️✝️
For the Fudge, put a tiny bit of butter in the pan, the parchment will stick. Your idea for flipping the pan works great with foil.
Just a little tip for the peppers leave the stem end on just cut the pepper in have and take the seeds out so now it’s like a boat that way the stuffing may stay in better we do this for all our peppers we will take mild or hot yellow & jalapeño peppers and cut in have take out seeds and some of the rib and take chunky cheese cut it in to slices and had bbq sauce on it and bbq or cook in the over yummy
Mandy, I got 4 min into this video and laughed so hard at the Scooter story! I have cracked ribs so it hurt to laugh but I needed it. My husband will not touch seafood at all and we had a tiff over contamination on a plate (he doesn't like things touching each other) I had a moment and brought up the sins of his food preferences and how I already raised a child and before I walked out of the room I said BTW For 9 years you have been eating anchovies in our pasta sauce I busted out laughing and he looked so confused! i'm going to finish your video now and thank you for being you!
I love it common tater great shirt Steven is soooooo funny. 👍👍👍
I love your recipes and easy I tried to put no name popsicle in my husband dove box but he new it.
You and your husband are the funniest I just love to watch you and your son is the cutest. You make me feel good 😊
Great appetizers! Steven was in fine form this episode. I absolutely love the banter and humor between the two of you! This is by far my favorite episode just because you both are having so much fun.
Parchment paper works great if you first crumple it all the way up, then it fits into the pans better.
With the parchment, cut on side to fit exactly the width but hanging over the length, then do the opposite sides the same, making a sling. It's the bunches up corners that make it cumbersome.
By the way, you guys have me in stitches a LOT of the time (this time it was the "reporting back" part where Steven does the sound effects and Mandy has the serious look, then Steven's explaining) 😂
I made the Rolo treats two times during Christmas. We did square too. I made both dark and milk chocolate rolos. Gave a choice to people that like them. They do sell them wrapped. I always think they taste different though and couldn’t find them during Christmas. I press or tap. Depends how melted they are.
I did that with cookies when my oldest was about 2. We were out of chips ahoy cookies, so I tried to give her a different cookie, but she would have no part of it. I finally gave up trying to give her a cookie and threw the cookie into the chips ahoy bag. That did the trick. She didn't have a problem with the cookie she wanted to reach her hand into the bag and get it herself!
You two are so cute together. I really enjoy your videos, Mandy and Steve is the perfect taste tester. ❤
You are both so adorable!! I love your relationship!!
Gonna try "em. I've had the pretzels with Rolos. Addictive !!
Mandy
I am planning our weekend snacks and Oreo fudge and bean dip will be on it. Thank you. You and Steven always make me laugh. Thank you for a spark of sunshine on this cold , gray Pennsylvania afternoon.
11/19/23 I am so proud of you for not shopping at Walmart. Y’all are adorable !
I love guacamole! The crescent cups look so good. And along Sugeons the bean dip is heaven! Thanks Mandy 🌶️🧀🥠🍫
Okay, not me sitting here watching this video and laughing so loud, my son, hubby and both cats, came running. You both just slay me with your banter. My son is not a fan of anything really in the crockpot, so when I recreate your goodies, it is a chore to get him to try them. But as far as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, or any cheese for that matter, the MORE THE BETTER!!! Hugs to you both.
I love to watch the two of you it is wonderful. I love how easy it is to make what you make and put my own spin on it to maybe feed my pocket eater daughter. Can't wait to try things to feed my grandsons in a few months. Please keep giving great recipes to try. If gonna make anything off RUclips I love what I see from you. Thank you so very much for that. As always Love ❣️❣️ and Hugs 🤗🤗🤗 from Sheboygan, WI.
My husbands sister got us hooked on crescent rolls with whipped strawberry cream cheese in the middle. Take your can crescent rolls an add the strawberry stuff lol. Then roll them up. An bake as per directions.
Good evening Mandy and Steven and thank you for sharing your yummy appetizers
I'm so happy I found you because all your recipes are basic things that we have in our home or can easily get. I sent so many of your recipes for myself. Thank you for doing this and as an animal lover Gracie Lou is so pretty.
Do tell the Walmart story. Enjoy your channel and you’re very relatable
Mandy, since I am a widow, I love eating appetizers for my supper but I mix them up, probably two. I don’t like to go asleep very full and I eat early ❤🌲🌹🙏
I remember the sloppy Joe casserole that Steven hated and I remember he described the taste as “musty” because of all of the excess cream cheese that’s the same reason my brother doesn’t like cream cheese he thinks it tastes “musty”. I love watching you guys and I love your recipes I would try the stuffed peppers with the cheese without cooking them as I love the crunch of the sweet bell peppers just add the cheese and honey and eat them as an appetizer or lunch especially in the summertime no heating necessary. God Bless I try and keep you all in my prayers.🙏🏼💞
I just wad up the parchment paper in a ball, then spread it back out & it will stay in the pan when you put it in. It works for me.
The pepper recipe you made, reminds me of a peppers recipe that I've made for years. I use the same kind of peppers and half them and gut them. And then you put feta cheese inside a little bit of olive oil and then you put chopped black olives on top and you cook it in the oven, air fryer like you did, or in a barbecue grill and it comes out amazing.
You can buy rollos in the candy bar section with the snickers bars, etc.. they are not wrapped individually. 😊
I do the pretzel rolo one with a half pecan on top. Yum!
For the parchment paper, try crumpling it and then putting it in the dish.
That lady that sent the shirt was the nicest person ever
Watching you and your husband is such a delight. You all are the cutest couple on you tube. And I love Gracie Lou. You all bring happiness to a gloomy day. Lark 🤗👍❤️
Mandy I just love you and your family. You are truly such a blessing to so many of us. I was wondering if you could do a video of things we could make with over ripe bananas, besides banana bread or muffins. Sometimes they get eaten right away and sometimes I'll have 4 or 5 that i end up freezing for bread because I don't want to waste them. Thank you.
I dont know how they are exactly made but my Aunt makes Ritz Rolos for desserts at get togethers and boy howdy they are good! Just 2 ritz crackers with a melty rolo in the middle! So Good!
I did that replace thing for my hubby too. He loves sweet tea. One time I replaced it with Splenda artificial sweetener. He never new the difference! He heard me later bragging on it to my sister and he denied that I did it🤣🤣. So I know it can be done. Also as far as cream cheese. In a lot of recipes I use the different flavored cream cheeses depending on the recipe. I only like plain cream cheese spread on my bagels 🥯 😋. I made those Rollo pretzels with pecans for Christmas. Everyone loved them.
When you cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper put sharp creases in it then you can crease the corners so it fits in the pan, you were on the right track.
If I need a good laugh yall are it. I don't shop walmart either. Just quit liking them long time ago. Never buy their meat. The best refried beans ive found are the Bush brand or the freeze dried ones that come in a bag. The lady with the cereal story was hilarious. Im still laughing about that one. I do love all the finger food recipes. Thanks
Wow all of these looked delicious
I made dozens of the rolo pretzel "turtles" for the Christmas season. Personally I like the mini pretzels better than the square ones because the carmel has more room to spread out. I topped them with toasted pecans, and they are delicious. Everyone asked for the recipe. They couldn't believe how easy to make. My hubby made a lot of them for me, and didn't complain at all! Lol. Try the pecans, I think you'll love them.
I do the same. They are like a turtle.
I love the easy mexi-dips...You can also cook up some chorizo and add it to the refried beans...sooo good!
Hahahah I just Love your husbands crazy sense of humor
