    Hi Mandy! I started watching your channel in Oct. 2021. My husband and I were renting a cabin in connecticut, that had only three channels that we could receive on the tv. I watched almost all of your videos on that trip. You were the first RUclips cooking channel that I liked. Your personality is perfect for videos. I have many of your recipes saved and I've made quite a few. Thank you for such a good format! God's blessings to you and your family!

  • @marshaschmidt690

    Mandy, if you're ever out of buttermilk for cooking, you can substitute with 1 cup milk with 1 Tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice stirred in. Let it set a minute or so to thicken. I usually use that instead of buttermilk. That way I don't waste half a carton of buttermilk. Your recipes always look so good. Happy cooking!

    • @rosemarydoran9907
      @rosemarydoran9907 2 года назад

      I made the same comment too! We never kept buttermilk in the house too often growing up and if I needed it for baking I would always make it with vinegar. A great way to make an ingredient you need without having to buy it and figure out how to use up all the rest of it!

    With that tater tot casserole sometimes stuff that doesn't look very appetizing taste the best we grew up with what we now call slop and it was pretty much your tater tot casserole but it was macaroni and cheese
    You can make macaroni and cheese and put some kind of meat in it mushroom soup whatever spices and or other seasonings you want and whatever vegetables you want. When you are done you put whatever cheese you have on hand in it mix it together and eat. No oven required. Some of our favorite meals that way.

  • @stanleyfox4201
    @stanleyfox4201 2 года назад

    I made the tata tot casserole this evening but we don't have them in the UK so I grated raw potato instead and seasoned it with melted butter and oil so it didn't discolour but the raw potato took too long to cook. Next time I will make them into round rostis and half cook them in a skillet before placing them on top of the casserole. I also added diced carrot because I had it in the fridge. It was tasty. A bit like a richer more tasty version of cottage pie but less sloppy. I'd like to try making it with leftover chicken next. Thank you Mandy. And I love seeing little Gracie Lou 💖
