These are times and skills he will never forget. When my grandson was 5, we were eating supper & he asked so sweetly if he could take a pork chop AND the gravy to school the next day for Show & Tell. One of the best Mamaw moments of my life 🥰
This is exactly how my grandmother taught me in the 40’s and 50’s. It’s ready when it’s the color of a brown paper bag! That cooks off the flour taste! Great sauces take time and taste terrific! Cooking with love!!! I’m 80 now, and still cooking, even in my wheelchair!
That’s amazing. My mom stopped cooking daily family dinners in her 50’s, she just cooked a family dinner on Sundays and eventually that stopped. She clearly didn’t like cooking and when she did she certainly didn’t/doesn’t put any love into it because her cooking is 💩
Yeah, this isn't Milk Gravy, which is what my family made. When you add coffee it becomes Red-eye gravy that they used to make for the Railroad workers. But you make Milk gravy or country gravy the same way. Just sausage and milk and no coffee. .@@will2019
I didn’t have a relationship with my grandparents and grew up with 2 dysfunctional abusive parents. I watched this and my heart ached to be standing next to her learning, smelling, tasting. You all are so blessed 🙏
Sweet molly read yur comment sooo sorry but guess what God is your father and I have an idea go visit assisted livings facilities and you can read to them eat with them and have a whole house full of grandparents. There are some folks in there that never had kids. They are just waiting to adopt you. It will warm your heart and I pray god sends you to the right one with the exact grandma you are suppose to meet and paw paw. ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
@mollyv8b705. Omg. Same here. Only knew one grandmother but she was cold and abusive & my parents also very abusive, obviously toxic. I so wish I would have had loving parents but simply did not. I went no contact from my family of origin 20 years ago. My life would have taken a different trajectory if I would have blessed with ppl like we see here. God bless you.
I'm 60 years old. I was born and still live in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia. This is the kind of cooking I was raised on. I had a wonderful childhood and was blessed with good parents and grandparents. I was always close to my Papaw Fred. When he retired, he began cooking breakfast every day of the week as a gift of love and gratitude for Granny Elsie. He never talked much about it. He let his efforts say what he wanted to say. Having owned and operated a few country stores in their time, Papaw maintained friendships with his suppliers. He took great pains to always get the best ingredients he could find to make breakfast something special because for so many years, Granny was first out of bed every morning to make a hot breakfast and pack a lunch for Papaw and their two sons. He would drive for miles into the country for hand churned butter, farm raised bacon and sausage, local honey in the comb, farm fresh eggs, apple butter, cured ham, and more. Breakfast was always a meal fit for a queen. And it wasn't served until Granny was up and came to the table. Like my Mom and Dad, Papaw Fred taught me so much about life and about how to be a man. In his honor, I prepare Sunday dinner every week for my whole family to gather at their home place. Like Papaw Fred, I take pains with finding the best ingredients. And I pay close attention to what each family member likes. And they notice, even our young grandchildren. Papaw would make a gravy he called red eye gravy, which included coffee as the only liquid ingredient besides the grease left from frying country ham. He only made red eye gravy when he served the ham. It was delicious. Pay close attention to what your Mamaw cooks. I guarantee you she makes the best food you'll find anywhere on the planet. You don't raise that many kids and stay married to the same good man that long if you don't learn your way around the kitchen. God bless her! Respect her and never take her for granted. She is a precious treasure!
I enjoyed your story as mine was similar. I'm 70 and was raised in the kitchen with my mother at the helm. I learned to cook, clean the house, do laundry, and sit like a lady from her. Simple things back then have become treasures in time.
You’re so lucky, your family and life growing up sounds wonderful. I wish I was blessed with a close family. All my grand parents died before I was born and my parents divorced when I was 1. Never saw my dad much and my mom’s priority was trying to find another husband than spend the time with us kids teaching us, life….. she never did find a good man, just liars and cheaters. Anyways, I wish my life growing up was different and that I had parents/grandparents that taught me traditional things where I could be filled with amazing memories that I could pass onto my kids but no such luck……
@@cloudie9druoid172 I'm truly sorrow you experienced all that. And I'll say that, based on what I witnessed first hand in my career, you are not alone. But you have the power to be the one in the family that breaks the cycle. No, it's not easy. It is hard. But it can and has been done. I hope you have peace and contentment in your life now.
Okay, TLB, people say this to me all the time (and I'm actually, finally, doing it) but I never say this to many others,. You really need to write a book.
I still make gravy. Can't stand canned or jarred gravy! My hubby loves my sausage gravy and biscuits!!! I have a secret ingredient also. Turkey gravy I use cornstarch not flour. Much lighter and less lumpy. Your breakfast looked yummy 🤤
God says He will: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. " (James 1:27)
I am 60 yrs old and miss my grandparents still after all these years. This reminded me of them. My grandma cooked just like this and was from the south and they raised livestock, including lots of chickens :)
I needed this. Lost my mother a few months ago and this is how she cooked. Nothing better than a Southern woman cooking for her family. What a rich and blessed life you all have. Thank you for reming me how special family is. Love to all.
Amen. I miss my Mama, my Mamaw Bailey, and my Mammy Minton. All three fine Appalachian country ladies and such incredible cooks. It literally took me years to learn to make gravy like my mom and her mom but I never could replicate the biscuits of any three.
@@JuliaMcLean6559, I replace whatever liquid the recipe calls for with coffee. If a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water or milk, I use 1/2 cup of freshly brewed coffee instead. It's better if the coffee is a little strong. Also, with brownies from a mix, I swap the measurements of oil and liquid. The box directions seem way too greasy.
Go figure, at 76 years young, I just learned a new way to make country gravy. Love your secret ingredient, coffee. I’ll try this gravy for the family. I love to make sausage gravy for biscuits. Thank you for sharing your Secret Gravy.
A helpful tip for everyone is to skillet brown your flour before adding to the bacon/sausage/poultry/Turkey grease. As it sounds, a couple cups, or more of your favorite flour in a hot skillet. Keep folding the raw flour with a spatula till the flour grains get toasted and SEALED. By sealing the flour grains, it instantly bulks or thickens the gravy as added. A nice and brown color in the skillet, but not burned flour. You can save the extra browned flour in a container in the fridge, for the next batch of gravy. You get about 2-3 months with the browned flour in the fridge, in a sealed container before you should toss it and make more. Dear Ma's trick, from Owensboro Kentucky, the Land of KFC. She passed in 2021, but I got those recipes. Your Mamaw's stirring for awhile, because she is waiting for the flour to brown, before adding the Evaporated. The Pre-browned flour works with ANY gravy you want and it's cuts the gravy making time in 1/2 and gets Mamaw off her feet quicker. For the uppedy, high snob, Gordon Ramsay chef's, the pre-browned flour is called a Mise En Place - A item or items gathered or prepared in advance for efficiency in the kitchen. Take Care Corey, Tell your Mamaw she's making me Hungry!!.
Please elaborate. I don’t eat much gravy anymore because I rarely eat fried foods I’ve always needed to make gravy taste like anything….like fried chicken, pork chop or country fried steak. If you don’t use this grease to brown your gravy, what liquid do you put in the pan with it to brown it? I’d love to have a Minh or two of a gravy base in the fridge for when I need it.
@@RowenMyBoat You brown the flour dry, no grease. Toss a couple saltine crackers on top of the browned before snapping the lid and storing the dry browned flour in the fridge. ANY Grease you want for gravy, can now be made quick. As I add my per-browned flour to my hot grease, I whisk together, then add condensed milk or ??, season as cooking and boil-off reduce, if needed.
@@kh40yr I'm a "from scratch cook", I appreciate your tip. I've edited this because I reread your comment and see that you do a coupIe of cups at a time. Thanks.
@@truthmatters8241 Yup, just a couple cups of flour at a time. Any more than that and you risk burning the flour and You'll have a flour tornado in the kitchen trying to fold all that flour and brown it all evenly. I usually brown 4 cups in total. Should be good for 2-4 batches of gravy, depending.
That gravy looks yummy! I make a great brown gravy with chicken broth. Gives it such good flavor! My sons love it! They think I should bottle and sell it! Lol I also add Tony Chachere’s seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. I’m going to try some coffee in my breakfast gravy like you’ve done here. I do use can milk bc it gives such a good rich flavor. Thanks for sharing how you make your secret ingredient gravy! I would have never guessed the secret ingredient would be coffee.
It's 2023 and I just can't wait to try this " country coffee gravy"....made with love of course. Thank for keeping this up ! Hey, btw, I am a 72 years young but never had heard of coffee in gravy. Yum
I'm 79 years OLD and have made enough gravy to float a battleship, but I've never heard of putting coffee in the gravy. Will definitely try this. Mamaw is the first I've seen on YT to make gravy the way we did it in the mountains. That is, fry your meat, remove it, and then make the gravy using the grease left behind. Most mix flour into crumbled-up sausage, which in my opinion, is not the best way because of many reasons. Great video, and I wish y'all the very best.
My mom was involved with prison ministry for many years, mainly preparing meals for the participants in local church kitchens. When all was said and done, her inmate nickname was Good Gravy. Now, I'm not quite as good a gravy maker as mom was, but I enjoy making it and when I do, it helps me feel close to her spirit. ❤ I'm totally gonna try making coffee gravy! 😊
@@allenpost3616I always say "oh my gravy" or "OMGRAVY" when my granddaughter was 4 (she's now 19) she would pretend to bake cookies, he momma always would say how delicious they were, and my granddaughter would say "that's cuz I put my "lovin skin in them LOL 😂😂
This was great! I have never had gravy like that or even heard about it! As far as browning the flour and using the water and evaporated milk(we called it cream growing up) that's what my mama did too. Don't remember having bacon grease gravy only sausage, fat back or butter gravy. Think my daddy who would be 107 if he were still alive used to add a little coffee in country ham in the skillet. Have yall ever heard of that. This video is a treasure. Labor of love! Man I'd loved to have sit down and eaten with yall! I could smell it! Love that you guys are blessed with such a big family! It means more than any amount of dollar! I love the house, the chicken yard and most of all Mamaw! Thanks bunches!
@brendadodd6393 yup. I make gravy 2 ways, either with bacon or sausage grease whichever I cooked to go with the biscuits or taters, do like she does with water and I use half n half, my hubby likes some sausage or bacon crumbled in it, or if I'm doing ham, I'll add cold strong leftover coffee, we call it red eye gravy. Either way, you can't beat gravy!❤❤
A great cook never measures anything. My Grams didn't measure either. Corey, I think you're doing a great job in sharing these experiences with Mamaw. Great cooks like her need to be shown off, because there aren't many people who cook like Mamaw. She's so talented, adorable and sweet. I'm subscribing just so I can see more of you & Mamaw. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
You truly are a beautiful family. To have five children and adopt five speaks volumes. You are a testament to God’s Love. God bless you. Perhaps some time you can share your recipe for homemade baked beans.
I enjoy the videos, raised in N.C. on a farm, many people don't have any clue what they are missing out on. My Grandmother was a great country cook, miss it so much. Maybe I can enjoy it by learning from your videos. Thanks and have a blessed day.
For people that just said they don't cook fancy, this gravy is looking pretty fancy to me. We use a stock cube and water at my house. Look at you putting bacon fat and coffee....this is full on fancy gravy and I'm going to try and make it for breakfast and surprise my gravy loving child. Wish me luck!!!!!
Good luck! I had to giggle when you said your gravy loving child because I cook nightly for my 42 year old daughter and family next door for 6 years now since she got MS and whenever I make anything with a gravy I have to send over a pint canning jar with extra gravy for HER!! She LOVES her gravy!!❤
This is a very old gravy recipe in the US. People were clever in all the ways they devised to use everything because they couldn't afford to throw anything away, especially not food. A lot of people call this red eye gravy because of the coffee.
Just started watching u guys luv u already u said cooking with love always so very right and adding coffee is out of this world thank u both. I will be watching u from now on God bless you love ur recipes 💞
Your Mamaw is a true treasure. I grew up with only one set of grandparents. My mother's mother passed 11 years before I was born and my mother's father passed when I was barely 3 yo. Even though 8:40 y Daddy's parents lived in Virginia and we lived in Florida they more than made up for my maternal grandparents absence. My favorite summers were going to Virginia and staying with Granny and Grandpa. They had already been married 51 years before I came along. They married March 12, 1912. Granny was 14 and Grandpa was 18. They had 11 children. All but two of those children lived to adulthood. Granny gave birth to her first child the day before she turned 15.They both passed in 1987, but had Granny lived to March 12 they would have celebrated their 75 wedding anniversary. Grandpa said he fell in love with Granny when he was 10 and she was 6. He knew he was going to marry her and he did. Two of their children are still living. My favorite memories are sitting on the porch swing with Granny while stringing and snapping green beans or peeling apples and peaches while she sang hymns out of the Old Regular Baptist hymnal. Her voice was as clear as a bell. My Granny wasn't as generous with her recipes as your beautiful Mamaw. She purposely left something out when she shared a recipe. She was definitely a sneaky one. I wasn't quite 24 when they both crossed. She in January and he in August. My biggest regret is not paying closer attention when they told stories of their youth and their parents. I still wake up sometimes and jump out of bed to drive 14 hours to go visit their resting place. My parents and many of Daddy's siblings az well as Granny's siblings are buried in the same graveyard. I'll talk to them for a few hours before heading back to Florida.A trip like that renews me somehow and makes me appreciate the memories that I have even more. I apologize for rattling on. May God Bless and keep you.
Thank you, Corey and Maw Maw! You asked for cooking suggestions or what we'd like to see next. Maw Maw reminds me of my Kentucky grandmothers, both of whom are with Jesus. I haven't seen anyone make these dishes since they passed. Creamed corn Homemade "catsup" (more like a sweet tomato relish than Heinz ketchup) Green beans (seasoned with bacon) Field or crowder peas (seasoned with bacon) Baked beans (seasoned with "catsup" and -- you guessed it -- bacon) 5 cup salad Pimento cheese spread Hand or fried pies Chocolate pie with meringue Homemade ice cream (banana was Granny's go-to) Sorry for the long list. My memories of my grandmothers are strongly tied to food. If anything, you helped me reminisce. 🙏
Love to Mamaw! ❤. I’m gonna make that gravy this weekend. Your Mamaw wouldn’t happen to know how to make ‘wilted lettuce’, would she? It’s something I never asked my Mom (born in 1918) about before she passed in 2010. I know she made it with bacon grease…. God Bless you all.
@@greatdanelady6956 hot bacon fat, red wine vinegar, pinch sugar, pour over lettuce, top with fried bacon, red onions, and sliced fresh mushrooms, sliced boiled egg. I don't measure, but probably 1/4 cup fat, 1-2 T vinegar, 1/4 t. sugar; then taste, may need a small amount of water.
Those of us blessed with a Mom, a natural cook like your Mom are truly blessed. But it comes with its downside. Mine never measured anything, so her instruction sounded like, " a little bit of this , and some of that..." She was magic, unforgettable. As I know your Mom is to you. I absolutely loved this! I got to see my Mom again, and I'm 85. Thanks Mamaw.
You are so blessed I am 77 years old and I miss cooking with my mama she never measured anything and was the best cook. I sure miss her so much she made gravy this way, but no coffee. I’m going to try this. Mom was from Kentucky and dad was from West Virginia and I am from Ohio. The best cooking is hillbilly cooking. Thank you for this video. I’ll be watching for more.
The best part of growing up, and the happiest memories were being with my own granny. You're so fortunate to have these times with her. Treasure every one. Thank you for sharing. ❤
😍 looks delicious! Anybody like goulash? How about a big pot of goulash or cabbage rolls/cabbage soup and/or.! That recipe that I have from my mom is for a I believe 4 x rise dough, bread, and buns. No matter what I do. I cannot get it to come out fluffy like my mom makes it where are used to make it she’s too old now. 🙏God bless you and your family and thank you so much for these one and one wonderful recipes! Love love is the secret ingredient!❤
She does make a cabbage soup with a silver dollar in the bottom of the pot every year and whoever gets the coin in there bowl gets good luck for the rest of the year
@@coreyblake2030 😍 this will be exciting. Please let me know ahead of time when she’s going to make her cabbage soup so I can get all my gradients and make it along with her! I’m feeling hungry already!😂😁👍 Also, I just purchased the flower and the ingredients and found organic eggs for sale from a local Home based business in my area! I am going to make Mawmaw’s Biscuits! I love biscuits And peanut butter with chicken noodle soup! I don’t consume peanut butter because I’m allergic to peanuts but I use wow butter , which is roasted, soy beans. A good form of estrogen for women! 🙏 thank you Cory for sharing these videos and thank you Mawmaw for showing us how to prepare homemade foods!❤️🙏 I will let you know how the biscuits turned out. I’ll try to put as much love into making them as possible! 😁
I would looooooove to see your Mamaw cook fried chicken and fried pork chops ❤. I'm BEYOND blessed to watch y'all. I TRULY miss cooking with my mamma❤, precious memories ❤
Shelly Roberts that's about as good of a compliment as anyone can get,Grandson loves his Mamaw's cooking, and wanted to let his friends in on something great, how Sweet and precious those babies are
I would have never thought about putting coffee in my gravy. It's sounds wonderful. I can't wait to try it for myself. Thank you sweet lady for sharing your recipes. Cory is such a sweet, loving young man. You can tell he was raised right. GOD bless you both and the rest of your family.
I learned the coffee trick from my grand mother (I am 77 now) and it is the very best gravy! You are the only other I have ever seen do this besides my gma :)
I knew this is what she was going to make before I even watch this video. I lost my grandmother in 2019. I grew up eating this kind of gravy with biscuits, fried potatoes and eggs. Even though I know how to make this myself without aid of anything, hers was the best because she made it. I love that you shared this video, that's awesome! 😊 Thank you
Never knew to add coffee unless making red eye gravy. I have got to try this! I am a home cook, who cooks simple food that my grandkids, son and husband love! Nice to see someone else does too! You cook with love!
@PeggysCorner My red eye gravy never has flour in it. It's not thickened. Always country cured ham grease and coffee. Just saying, we are all different.
Boys Scouts Red Eye Gravy is thickened using the left over biscuits from the previous morning pounded into fine crumbs. Want to learn southern cooking? Just add bacon drippings, bacon, or dried bacon bits, to anything and it instantly becomes "Southern Style Whatever."
I’m learning to cook all over again. Corey thank you for sharing your special days with us. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. ❤ your videos are the best!
My grandmother was a wonderful southern cook like you and she passed suddenly. I never learned to make her creamed corn. She taught us cakes, roast beef and wish she had told me her method. Love watching you and your love of the Lord and family. Thank you for making these great videos giving us an opportunity to see how things have been made for generations!
Just found the diamond in the rough. ❤ you two are adorable & good cooks. I love to learn simple tips, my grandmother is gone, love to watch & learn with you two. God bless.. clb
Does Mamaw make any kind of homemade cookies? Would love to see her bake something like cookies, brownies, cobblers, pies, cakes, anything really. Even no-bake recipes would be great. Love y'all's cooking and food prep videos
I’m new and I love hearing grandma’s stories. She seems like an amazing woman, five kids of her own and five children adopted, WOW! No, GOD bless you for being here! I’d love to see you make liver and onion gravy 😋🤤😋yummy oh, and can you teach me how to make homemade beef gravy? ❤️🙏❤️
That’s how my Mamaw used to make her gravy I’m pretty sure. She’s been gone a very long time. And I miss her every day. This video made me smile and cry at the same time. Tell your Mamaw she is amazing.
My mom ALWAYS added coffee to her chicken gravy, too! Yum, Yum! She also made "red-eye" gravy when we had fried ham. I bet your grandma would know how to make that, too.
You are bringing back so many memories for me with the way that you cook. 😊 My mother used to cook the same way, and we grew up on good ol home cookin... there's nothing better! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. It looks so delicious! God bless you all! 😁💜 🍳 🥓
Your Mamaw is such a blessing to her whole family. Give Mamaw a hug whenever you can, and a kiss on her cheek! That’s the best cooking for sure! Thank you, Mamaw, on showing us how you make your wonderful gravy, I will be making this in the morning, God bless your family 😊💯❤️
Wow 😲 loving it 💕 I didn't know your secret ingredient 👍👍 I only knew to add coffee to the skillet after I cooked and removed the ham. The coffee raised up all of the goodie from the skillet. God bless you both and I just found your channel so I'm adding you to my daily prayer list 🙏❤️❤️
Now, my grandmothers used lard, bacon grease, milk, flour, all the good stuff this grandmother has done but I never saw anyone use coffee. I am definitely going to try this. I've been told I was a good gravy maker but it never hurts to check out other folks. Thank you Mawmaw...
U know you are watching a true made with love cook whenA. They don't measure ANYTHING n B. They always have a secret ingredient. Thank u 4 the receipe mam😊
Saw in other comments; this is called “Red Eye Gravy”. I’m born and raised Cali; never would imagine. Who’d a thunk… coffee in gravy. Why not!? God Bless Mamaw!
What a Legacy your Grandma and Grandpa are leaving for your family. So much love, appreciation and pride in your grandma's skills. A wonderful family with so many others embraced by your grandparents' generosity of heart. Appreciate watching your mum and hearing your voice which indicated so much of respect. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
My Daddy 😇 would make Red Eye Gravy from his fried country ham slices and he added coffee to the drippings. 😋❤️😋 So good with scrambled eggs, biscuits and grits!!
Looks delicious!! My family uses coffee for red-eyed gravy, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen it used in regular gravy. I can’t wait to try it!! God bless you all!!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What a great home cooking story! I love the "I didn't tell the kids cause they wouldn't have eaten it" - So true and many similar stories! Of course now I have to try it :) Thanks :)
God bless these sweet Grandmas and Grandpas! I love coffee and I bet that is some good gravy. Tell them you love them and spend as much time with them as you can. It is great, your family has these videos to pass on down to future generations. My grandparents all went home to Heaven when I was a little boy but I remember each one of them and was blessed to have had what time with them I did have. I knew I was loved by them all.
Southern cooking is fancy to me! She made the gravy that I tried in the south back when I just moved here to the states! Southern people are full of love, wonderful food, and hospitality. May g-d bless you too
My mom made the best gravy, I use to call milk gravy, from a little fried chicken drippings and Carnation’s evaporated milk. Oh my word. It was so good with her home made biscuits and fried chicken. I could never duplicate her gravy.❤️ But she never put coffee in hers.
My late grandmother used evaporated milk in certain recipes. But what I most associate it with was my step grandfather. Because he always used evaporated milk instead of regular in his coffee. He was too cheap to use Carnation though. He always used the supermarket brand! LOL
So far tonight, I've watched her meatloaf recipe, & her secret gravy recipe; they're both just the way I make mine, except I use a little less catsup in my meatloaf! Your Mamaw is a good cook! 🥰
My father grew up during the depression too. Only they couldn't afford the bacon. My grandparents DID have chickens though. My father told me a treat for Sunday dinner was one of the chickens and my grandmother used to strangle them! LOL Then clean and cook them. My mother's parents had chickens too. Only that grandmother used to chop their heads off. My late mother told me one of her childhood fears/traumas was watching the chicken running around after it's head was cut off.
Love your Mamaw! Can’t wait to make this gravy. My Mom (born 1918) used to made “wilted lettuce” like your Mamaw she never measured anything. But I never asked her to show me how to make it, I only know she used bacon grease heated in her iron skillet with some sugar and other things before pouring it over the lettuce. I hope she knows. God Bless you all! ❤❤❤
I just love listening to you two converse with each other. Enjoy your wonderful Grandparent's while they are on this earth. I miss mine still and they have been gone awhile.
I wish u would open up a restaurant mawmaw then i could taste ur yummy food and listen to the good news of Jesus at the same time. Im glad u come on here and post videos for us. I can see your love for others in each video.
You and your husband are certainly wonderful people. You have an enormous family and have even adopted more. You cook effortlessly and seem to enjoy every moment! Your secret ingredient gravy looks delicious and also the biscuits. Thank you all for the video.
Mamaw cooks just like my grandma did. She didn't put coffee in milk gravy but looks delicious. She used to make Red Eye Gravy with coffee and country ham drippings. So good! I'm going to try coffee in the milk gravy too. How about banana puddin? So yummy. Thank you for your videos. Brings back good memories ❤
My Dad was a cook in the Army and they always poured coffee in the gravy made for thousands of soldiers. It was the best! Please make butter beans, pancakes, okra, squash casserole, buttermilk pie and baked chicken. Thank you. 💕
I've only seen 2 of your cooking Videos and I've loved them both so I subscribed tonight. I cook like your Mamaw does. Simple ffoods and I don't measure with utensils for most recipes. I measure by my senses God gave me. Sight, Taste, and sometimes Touch. Thank you guys for sharing your loved family recipes.
Please cook several different bean recipes from different varieties of beans such as Pinto, Lima, split pea, and maybe 15 bean soup. With the economy going the way it is, it looks like beans will be very prominent on our tables for quite a while! Thanks for the gravy lesson!👍😀💗
I’m 76 and never could make good gravy, but this way looks so easy and good! Can’t wait to try it. My momma did try to teach me but I never got it right. 🤔 I think you have shown me where I’ve been going wrong. 😊 Mostly just not cooking it long enough to get it brown and the coffee!
Impressive ! Who'd thought to add that secret ingredient to the mixture. I'm so intrigued that I'll have to give it go ! Thank You and Mamaw for a wholesome video !
Grandparents are so important in children lives they can learn from them this grandmother is full of love and this is what a real grandmother does for her grandchildren
These are times and skills he will never forget. When my grandson was 5, we were eating supper & he asked so sweetly if he could take a pork chop AND the gravy to school the next day for Show & Tell. One of the best Mamaw moments of my life 🥰
That is so so cute
❤
That’s hilarious xo
Adorable 😊
Aw, so sweet
This is exactly how my grandmother taught me in the 40’s and 50’s. It’s ready when it’s the color of a brown paper bag! That cooks off the flour taste! Great sauces take time and taste terrific! Cooking with love!!! I’m 80 now, and still cooking, even in my wheelchair!
Ma loved this gravy over Greenbeans.
We called this red eye gray when I was a kid
That’s amazing. My mom stopped cooking daily family dinners in her 50’s, she just cooked a family dinner on Sundays and eventually that stopped. She clearly didn’t like cooking and when she did she certainly didn’t/doesn’t put any love into it because her cooking is 💩
Yeah, this isn't Milk Gravy, which is what my family made. When you add coffee it becomes Red-eye gravy that they used to make for the Railroad workers.
But you make Milk gravy or country gravy the same way. Just sausage and milk and no coffee. .@@will2019
I'm wondering what else is for their breakfast..(?) Eggs, biscuits maybe?
You both got me on made with LOVE. thank you Jesus for beautiful families 🙏🙏
Thank you so much and God bless you
Exactly, right?! ❤❤
Amen!
I've heard that ingredient many times.
Amen🙏✝️🇺🇸
I didn’t have a relationship with my grandparents and grew up with 2 dysfunctional abusive parents. I watched this and my heart ached to be standing next to her learning, smelling, tasting. You all are so blessed 🙏
Sweet molly read yur comment sooo sorry but guess what God is your father and I have an idea go visit assisted livings facilities and you can read to them eat with them and have a whole house full of grandparents. There are some folks in there that never had kids. They are just waiting to adopt you. It will warm your heart and I pray god sends you to the right one with the exact grandma you are suppose to meet and paw paw. ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
I'm so sorry 😞
My mother is toxic, but I will always cherish my memories with my paternal grandparents.
My heart goes out to you. You are in my thoughts.
Father please give this sweet child a loving nurturing spiritual Mother ❤
@mollyv8b705. Omg. Same here. Only knew one grandmother but she was cold and abusive & my parents also very abusive, obviously toxic. I so wish I would have had loving parents but simply did not. I went no contact from my family of origin 20 years ago. My life would have taken a different trajectory if I would have blessed with ppl like we see here. God bless you.
I'm 60 years old. I was born and still live in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia. This is the kind of cooking I was raised on.
I had a wonderful childhood and was blessed with good parents and grandparents. I was always close to my Papaw Fred.
When he retired, he began cooking breakfast every day of the week as a gift of love and gratitude for Granny Elsie. He never talked much about it. He let his efforts say what he wanted to say.
Having owned and operated a few country stores in their time, Papaw maintained friendships with his suppliers. He took great pains to always get the best ingredients he could find to make breakfast something special because for so many years, Granny was first out of bed every morning to make a hot breakfast and pack a lunch for Papaw and their two sons.
He would drive for miles into the country for hand churned butter, farm raised bacon and sausage, local honey in the comb, farm fresh eggs, apple butter, cured ham, and more.
Breakfast was always a meal fit for a queen. And it wasn't served until Granny was up and came to the table.
Like my Mom and Dad, Papaw Fred taught me so much about life and about how to be a man. In his honor, I prepare Sunday dinner every week for my whole family to gather at their home place. Like Papaw Fred, I take pains with finding the best ingredients. And I pay close attention to what each family member likes. And they notice, even our young grandchildren.
Papaw would make a gravy he called red eye gravy, which included coffee as the only liquid ingredient besides the grease left from frying country ham. He only made red eye gravy when he served the ham.
It was delicious.
Pay close attention to what your Mamaw cooks. I guarantee you she makes the best food you'll find anywhere on the planet.
You don't raise that many kids and stay married to the same good man that long if you don't learn your way around the kitchen.
God bless her!
Respect her and never take her for granted.
She is a precious treasure!
I enjoyed your story as mine was similar. I'm 70 and was raised in the kitchen with my mother at the helm. I learned to cook, clean the house, do laundry, and sit like a lady from her. Simple things back then have become treasures in time.
That's the secret to good red eye gravy. And the coffee helps draw the salt out of the ham.
You’re so lucky, your family and life growing up sounds wonderful. I wish I was blessed with a close family. All my grand parents died before I was born and my parents divorced when I was 1. Never saw my dad much and my mom’s priority was trying to find another husband than spend the time with us kids teaching us, life….. she never did find a good man, just liars and cheaters. Anyways, I wish my life growing up was different and that I had parents/grandparents that taught me traditional things where I could be filled with amazing memories that I could pass onto my kids but no such luck……
@@cloudie9druoid172 I'm truly sorrow you experienced all that. And I'll say that, based on what I witnessed first hand in my career, you are not alone.
But you have the power to be the one in the family that breaks the cycle. No, it's not easy. It is hard. But it can and has been done.
I hope you have peace and contentment in your life now.
Okay, TLB, people say this to me all the time (and I'm actually, finally, doing it) but I never say this to many others,. You really need to write a book.
Your mamaw is a treasure. God bless her. Keep her recipes coming. 😊
Thank u so much
Enjoyed your show very much
This reminds me so much of my grandmother's, aunts, and my mother. Today, I am teaching my kids and grandkids these country cooking techniques.
I agree! Mamaw wisdom is precious!!
Finally, someone knows how to make gravy. God bless you.
Exactly my Grandmothers way .. we use fresh milk..... the best. NO WHITE gravy paste ....
I still make gravy. Can't stand canned or jarred gravy! My hubby loves my sausage gravy and biscuits!!! I have a secret ingredient also. Turkey gravy I use cornstarch not flour. Much lighter and less lumpy. Your breakfast looked yummy 🤤
This is one truly special lady! To have 5 and adopt 5 , that is special indeed. Bless this lovely lady.
Legit brown a lot…
God says He will:
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. " (James 1:27)
What a cozy kitchen. I could feel the love! I could just sit at her table and watch her show me how to cook....
I am 60 yrs old and miss my grandparents still after all these years. This reminded me of them. My grandma cooked just like this and was from the south and they raised livestock, including lots of chickens :)
I needed this. Lost my mother a few months ago and this is how she cooked. Nothing better than a Southern woman cooking for her family. What a rich and blessed life you all have. Thank you for reming me how special family is. Love to all.
I’m so sorry for your loss lovely God!!bless!! You!! 🙏😇♥️
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen. I miss my Mama, my Mamaw Bailey, and my Mammy Minton. All three fine Appalachian country ladies and such incredible cooks. It literally took me years to learn to make gravy like my mom and her mom but I never could replicate the biscuits of any three.
Home made yeast buns
I’ve been a gravy maker for 55 of my 68 years, but I have to say I learned something today. Thank you kind ma’am and Lord bless you too.
Love watching you cook,just plain ole country cooking, God bless you on your journey.i always called it red-eye gravy, yummy.
Brewed coffee also gives a delicious lift to brownies, cakes, and bbq sauce.
How much coffee do you add to brownies and cakes? It sounds so delicious!😊
We always used coffee when making bbq sauce. Mamaw always used molasses if the coffee wasn’t freshly brewed.
@@JuliaMcLean6559, I replace whatever liquid the recipe calls for with coffee. If a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water or milk, I use 1/2 cup of freshly brewed coffee instead. It's better if the coffee is a little strong. Also, with brownies from a mix, I swap the measurements of oil and liquid. The box directions seem way too greasy.
You add it cold I’m assuming?
Did you let your coffee cool before you added it?
Nothing better than country cooking!!!!! Y'all know how to make a great looking meal!
That's called red eyed gravy down south. Good stuff
Go figure, at 76 years young, I just learned a new way to make country gravy. Love your secret ingredient, coffee. I’ll try this gravy for the family. I love to make sausage gravy for biscuits. Thank you for sharing your Secret Gravy.
A helpful tip for everyone is to skillet brown your flour before adding to the bacon/sausage/poultry/Turkey grease. As it sounds, a couple cups, or more of your favorite flour in a hot skillet. Keep folding the raw flour with a spatula till the flour grains get toasted and SEALED. By sealing the flour grains, it instantly bulks or thickens the gravy as added. A nice and brown color in the skillet, but not burned flour. You can save the extra browned flour in a container in the fridge, for the next batch of gravy. You get about 2-3 months with the browned flour in the fridge, in a sealed container before you should toss it and make more. Dear Ma's trick, from Owensboro Kentucky, the Land of KFC. She passed in 2021, but I got those recipes. Your Mamaw's stirring for awhile, because she is waiting for the flour to brown, before adding the Evaporated. The Pre-browned flour works with ANY gravy you want and it's cuts the gravy making time in 1/2 and gets Mamaw off her feet quicker. For the uppedy, high snob, Gordon Ramsay chef's, the pre-browned flour is called a Mise En Place - A item or items gathered or prepared in advance for efficiency in the kitchen. Take Care Corey, Tell your Mamaw she's making me Hungry!!.
Please elaborate. I don’t eat much gravy anymore because I rarely eat fried foods I’ve always needed to make gravy taste like anything….like fried chicken, pork chop or country fried steak.
If you don’t use this grease to brown your gravy, what liquid do you put in the pan with it to brown it? I’d love to have a Minh or two of a gravy base in the fridge for when I need it.
@@RowenMyBoat You brown the flour dry, no grease. Toss a couple saltine crackers on top of the browned before snapping the lid and storing the dry browned flour in the fridge. ANY Grease you want for gravy, can now be made quick. As I add my per-browned flour to my hot grease, I whisk together, then add condensed milk or ??, season as cooking and boil-off reduce, if needed.
@@kh40yr I'm a "from scratch cook", I appreciate your tip. I've edited this because I reread your comment and see that you do a coupIe of cups at a time. Thanks.
That hint on Browning the flour is fascinating. Makes sense...thankyou
@@truthmatters8241 Yup, just a couple cups of flour at a time. Any more than that and you risk burning the flour and You'll have a flour tornado in the kitchen trying to fold all that flour and brown it all evenly. I usually brown 4 cups in total. Should be good for 2-4 batches of gravy, depending.
Would love to see many more of her old fashioned recipes.
Ideas would be
fried chicken
Chicken and noodles
Homemade bread
Dumplings
And so forth.
We definitely have many more recipes planned out already and we will be making a chicken and dumplings for sure
@@coreyblake2030I just subscribed, Looking forward to all the awesome recipes!! Thanks to you, and your sweet Mamaw ❤
Loved your gravy, the secret to my husband's GRAVY was mustard..yummy ❤❤
Straight to the cardiologist
That gravy looks yummy! I make a great brown gravy with chicken broth. Gives it such good flavor! My sons love it! They think I should bottle and sell it! Lol I also add Tony Chachere’s seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. I’m going to try some coffee in my breakfast gravy like you’ve done here. I do use can milk bc it gives such a good rich flavor. Thanks for sharing how you make your secret ingredient gravy! I would have never guessed the secret ingredient would be coffee.
It's 2023 and I just can't wait to try this " country coffee gravy"....made with love of course. Thank for keeping this up ! Hey, btw, I am a 72 years young but never had heard of coffee in gravy. Yum
Thank you so much and God bless you
I'm 79 years OLD and have made enough gravy to float a battleship, but I've never heard of putting coffee in the gravy. Will definitely try this.
Mamaw is the first I've seen on YT to make gravy the way we did it in the mountains. That is, fry your meat, remove it, and then make the gravy using the grease left behind. Most mix flour into crumbled-up sausage, which in my opinion, is not the best way because of many reasons. Great video, and I wish y'all the very best.
66 years old and I make my gravy out of my meat drippings. I’ll have to try this one.
Um you never had Red Eye Gravy, which is made with Coffee?
@@allencribb4944 nope, I never had red eye gravy, heard of it but never actually realized what it was... cannot wait to go e it a try !!,😋
Country food is the best ever!! God bless you and your family! 💖💕
Anything that starts with Good Ole Natural Bacon Grease is Just Good in my book. Thank you Mamaw. ❤
My mom was involved with prison ministry for many years, mainly preparing meals for the participants in local church kitchens. When all was said and done, her inmate nickname was Good Gravy. Now, I'm not quite as good a gravy maker as mom was, but I enjoy making it and when I do, it helps me feel close to her spirit. ❤
I'm totally gonna try making coffee gravy! 😊
Do you mean Red Eye Gravy? That was one my grandpa used to make.
Very neat! "Good Gravy" was my grandmothers favorite saying when something went wrong instead of using "good grief" or the Lords name in vain.
@@EKA201-j7fyes, red eye gravy is what my mother and grandmother called it when you added coffee.😊
@@allenpost3616I always say "oh my gravy" or "OMGRAVY" when my granddaughter was 4 (she's now 19) she would pretend to bake cookies, he momma always would say how delicious they were, and my granddaughter would say "that's cuz I put my "lovin skin in them LOL 😂😂
This was great! I have never had gravy like that or even heard about it! As far as browning the flour and using the water and evaporated milk(we called it cream growing up) that's what my mama did too. Don't remember having bacon grease gravy only sausage, fat back or butter gravy. Think my daddy who would be 107 if he were still alive used to add a little coffee in country ham in the skillet. Have yall ever heard of that.
This video is a treasure. Labor of love! Man I'd loved to have sit down and eaten with yall! I could smell it!
Love that you guys are blessed with such a big family! It means more than any amount of dollar! I love the house, the chicken yard and most of all Mamaw! Thanks bunches!
No I haven’t heard of that but it sounds really good
Thank u to so much for watching and supporting us it really means a lot to
Mama use to put coffee in the grease after frying ham . She called it red eye gravy
@brendadodd6393 yup. I make gravy 2 ways, either with bacon or sausage grease whichever I cooked to go with the biscuits or taters, do like she does with water and I use half n half, my hubby likes some sausage or bacon crumbled in it, or if I'm doing ham, I'll add cold strong leftover coffee, we call it red eye gravy. Either way, you can't beat gravy!❤❤
That's the home that I would love to spend Christmas in during the holidays.❤.
A great cook never measures anything. My Grams didn't measure either.
Corey, I think you're doing a great job in sharing these experiences with Mamaw. Great cooks like her need to be shown off, because there aren't many people who cook like Mamaw. She's so talented, adorable and sweet. I'm subscribing just so I can see more of you & Mamaw. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
You truly are a beautiful family. To have five children and adopt five speaks volumes. You are a testament to God’s Love. God bless you.
Perhaps some time you can share your recipe for homemade baked beans.
I enjoy the videos, raised in N.C. on a farm, many people don't have any clue what they are missing out on. My Grandmother was a great country cook, miss it so much. Maybe I can enjoy it by learning from your videos. Thanks and have a blessed day.
For people that just said they don't cook fancy, this gravy is looking pretty fancy to me. We use a stock cube and water at my house. Look at you putting bacon fat and coffee....this is full on fancy gravy and I'm going to try and make it for breakfast and surprise my gravy loving child. Wish me luck!!!!!
Thank you
Good luck! I had to giggle when you said your gravy loving child because I cook nightly for my 42 year old daughter and family next door for 6 years now since she got MS and whenever I make anything with a gravy I have to send over a pint canning jar with extra gravy for HER!! She LOVES her gravy!!❤
This is a very old gravy recipe in the US. People were clever in all the ways they devised to use everything because they couldn't afford to throw anything away, especially not food. A lot of people call this red eye gravy because of the coffee.
Is this considered red eye gravy? I have heard of it, never tried it. I’ll let you know how my family likes it.
I'm gonna try it, too. MawMaw made it too good. Now my husband wants some. 🥓🥚🧂
Mamaw looks like an old time Holiness Cooking Mama! Looks like I need her in my church to help me cook for folks ❤
Thank you so much
I'm going to try this gravy. Looks like my Mexican husband's grandma's gravy that noone in his family knows how to make lol. Mine is with sausage.
Just started watching u guys luv u already u said cooking with love always so very right and adding coffee is out of this world thank u both. I will be watching u from now on God bless you love ur recipes 💞
Fried 🍗 chicken😊
Your Mamaw is a true treasure. I grew up with only one set of grandparents. My mother's mother passed 11 years before I was born and my mother's father passed when I was barely 3 yo. Even though 8:40 y Daddy's parents lived in Virginia and we lived in Florida they more than made up for my maternal grandparents absence. My favorite summers were going to Virginia and staying with Granny and Grandpa. They had already been married 51 years before I came along. They married March 12, 1912. Granny was 14 and Grandpa was 18. They had 11 children. All but two of those children lived to adulthood. Granny gave birth to her first child the day before she turned 15.They both passed in 1987, but had Granny lived to March 12 they would have celebrated their 75 wedding anniversary. Grandpa said he fell in love with Granny when he was 10 and she was 6. He knew he was going to marry her and he did. Two of their children are still living.
My favorite memories are sitting on the porch swing with Granny while stringing and snapping green beans or peeling apples and peaches while she sang hymns out of the Old Regular Baptist hymnal. Her voice was as clear as a bell. My Granny wasn't as generous with her recipes as your beautiful Mamaw. She purposely left something out when she shared a recipe. She was definitely a sneaky one. I wasn't quite 24 when they both crossed. She in January and he in August. My biggest regret is not paying closer attention when they told stories of their youth and their parents. I still wake up sometimes and jump out of bed to drive 14 hours to go visit their resting place. My parents and many of Daddy's siblings az well as Granny's siblings are buried in the same graveyard. I'll talk to them for a few hours before heading back to Florida.A trip like that renews me somehow and makes me appreciate the memories that I have even more.
I apologize for rattling on.
May God Bless and keep you.
Bless this woman ❤ this is the meaning of family and good ol' fashioned love/cooking!
My Granny from TN was this. She's so comforting as she passes along recipes...thank ya darlin.
Thank you, Corey and Maw Maw!
You asked for cooking suggestions or what we'd like to see next.
Maw Maw reminds me of my Kentucky grandmothers, both of whom are with Jesus. I haven't seen anyone make these dishes since they passed.
Creamed corn
Homemade "catsup" (more like a sweet tomato relish than Heinz ketchup)
Green beans (seasoned with bacon)
Field or crowder peas (seasoned with bacon)
Baked beans (seasoned with "catsup" and -- you guessed it -- bacon)
5 cup salad
Pimento cheese spread
Hand or fried pies
Chocolate pie with meringue
Homemade ice cream (banana was Granny's go-to)
Sorry for the long list. My memories of my grandmothers are strongly tied to food. If anything, you helped me reminisce. 🙏
Love to Mamaw! ❤. I’m gonna make that gravy this weekend. Your Mamaw wouldn’t happen to know how to make ‘wilted lettuce’, would she? It’s something I never asked my Mom (born in 1918) about before she passed in 2010. I know she made it with bacon grease…. God Bless you all.
@@greatdanelady6956 hot bacon fat, red wine vinegar, pinch sugar, pour over lettuce, top with fried bacon, red onions, and sliced fresh mushrooms, sliced boiled egg. I don't measure, but probably 1/4 cup fat, 1-2 T vinegar, 1/4 t. sugar; then taste, may need a small amount of water.
My late aunt used to make baked beans that were out of this world. She used to lay the bacon strips on top.
@@greatdanelady6956 YES!! I grew up eating that. So good with a piece of hot cornbread. ❤️
Son I hope you're learning all this because I sure wish I could remember all the stuff like this my grandmother cooked. I love your grandmother. ❤
Those of us blessed with a Mom, a natural cook like your Mom are truly blessed. But it comes with its downside. Mine never measured anything, so her instruction sounded like, " a little bit of this , and some of that..." She was magic, unforgettable. As I know your Mom is to you. I absolutely loved this! I got to see my Mom again, and I'm 85. Thanks Mamaw.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so blessed I am 77 years old and I miss cooking with my mama she never measured anything and was the best cook. I sure miss her so much she made gravy this way, but no coffee. I’m going to try this. Mom was from Kentucky and dad was from West Virginia and I am from Ohio. The best cooking is hillbilly cooking. Thank you for this video. I’ll be watching for more.
The best part of growing up, and the happiest memories were being with my own granny. You're so fortunate to have these times with her. Treasure every one. Thank you for sharing. ❤
What an awesome Mamaw!! 10 children!!
She is a true blessing
😍 looks delicious!
Anybody like goulash? How about a big pot of goulash or cabbage rolls/cabbage soup and/or.!
That recipe that I have from my mom is for a I believe 4 x rise dough, bread, and buns. No matter what I do. I cannot get it to come out fluffy like my mom makes it where are used to make it she’s too old now.
🙏God bless you and your family and thank you so much for these one and one wonderful recipes! Love love is the secret ingredient!❤
She does make a cabbage soup with a silver dollar in the bottom of the pot every year and whoever gets the coin in there bowl gets good luck for the rest of the year
Thank u and God bless you to
@@coreyblake2030 😍 this will be exciting. Please let me know ahead of time when she’s going to make her cabbage soup so I can get all my gradients and make it along with her! I’m feeling hungry already!😂😁👍
Also, I just purchased the flower and the ingredients and found organic eggs for sale from a local Home based business in my area! I am going to make Mawmaw’s Biscuits! I love biscuits And peanut butter with chicken noodle soup! I don’t consume peanut butter because I’m allergic to peanuts but I use wow butter , which is roasted, soy beans. A good form of estrogen for women!
🙏 thank you Cory for sharing these videos and thank you Mawmaw for showing us how to prepare homemade foods!❤️🙏
I will let you know how the biscuits turned out. I’ll try to put as much love into making them as possible! 😁
I would looooooove to see your Mamaw cook fried chicken and fried pork chops ❤. I'm BEYOND blessed to watch y'all. I TRULY miss cooking with my mamma❤, precious memories ❤
Looks delicious. TY for sharing.
35 grandchildren! What a blessing for sure…God is good ❤ This brings back my childhood memories of my Mawmaw in the kitchen cooking “country” food. 😊
This family is so beautiful, Mamaw and Corey thank you for sharing your family with me, it warms my heart, God bless you all.
Shelly Roberts that's about as good of a compliment as anyone can get,Grandson loves his Mamaw's cooking, and wanted to let his friends in on something great, how Sweet and precious those babies are
I would have never thought about putting coffee in my gravy. It's sounds wonderful. I can't wait to try it for myself. Thank you sweet lady for sharing your recipes. Cory is such a sweet, loving young man. You can tell he was raised right. GOD bless you both and the rest of your family.
Look up a recipe for red eyed gravy, and you will find gravy made with coffee.
red eye gravy made from after frying ham uses coffee..
@@ImpishBratt you can use any grease. “Red eye” meaning very late, time for coffee.
That’s how red eye gravies made also, with country breakfast ham and coffee.. that’s some good eating to!
I learned the coffee trick from my grand mother (I am 77 now) and it is the very best gravy! You are the only other I have ever seen do this besides my gma :)
I knew this is what she was going to make before I even watch this video. I lost my grandmother in 2019. I grew up eating this kind of gravy with biscuits, fried potatoes and eggs. Even though I know how to make this myself without aid of anything, hers was the best because she made it. I love that you shared this video, that's awesome! 😊
Thank you
Never knew to add coffee unless making red eye gravy. I have got to try this! I am a home cook, who cooks simple food that my grandkids, son and husband love! Nice to see someone else does too! You cook with love!
That’s what it is red eye gravy
@PeggysCorner My red eye gravy never has flour in it. It's not thickened. Always country cured ham grease and coffee. Just saying, we are all different.
Yep redeye uses coffee and water. Cream gravy uses milk or heavy cream
Boys Scouts Red Eye Gravy is thickened using the left over biscuits from the previous morning pounded into fine crumbs.
Want to learn southern cooking? Just add bacon drippings, bacon, or dried bacon bits, to anything and it instantly becomes "Southern Style Whatever."
🥦🟦 you remember the love ❤
I imagine Mawmaw, raising 10 children has the most beautiful heart!
I'd like to see pie, homemade crust, please.
I’ll have to ask her and see if she knows any pie recipes
@@coreyblake2030 I would like to know if she makes "chocolate gravy". Children love this over biscuits.
I’m learning to cook all over again. Corey thank you for sharing your special days with us. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. ❤ your videos are the best!
My grandmother was a wonderful southern cook like you and she passed suddenly. I never learned to make her creamed corn. She taught us cakes, roast beef and wish she had told me her method. Love watching you and your love of the Lord and family. Thank you for making these great videos giving us an opportunity to see how things have been made for generations!
Just found the diamond in the rough. ❤ you two are adorable & good cooks. I love to learn simple tips, my grandmother is gone, love to watch & learn with you two. God bless.. clb
She reminds me of my gram ❤ she’s a sweet lady. Cherish her, and every minute God gives you with her. God bless you and your family.
Does Mamaw make any kind of homemade cookies? Would love to see her bake something like cookies, brownies, cobblers, pies, cakes, anything really. Even no-bake recipes would be great. Love y'all's cooking and food prep videos
Yes!!!
I don't like the taste of coffee
I really enjoy your videos, keep cooking mamaw. I will put coffee in my gravy next time....love from Arkansas
I’m new and I love hearing grandma’s stories. She seems like an amazing woman, five kids of her own and five children adopted, WOW! No, GOD bless you for being here! I’d love to see you make liver and onion gravy 😋🤤😋yummy oh, and can you teach me how to make homemade beef gravy?
❤️🙏❤️
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
Me too😮
Love it!!! Colesterol worries be gone!!! Many old families lived into 90's
Hard work and love of family fixes the rest!!!
I absolutely love the idea of adding coffee to it. Can't wait to try it thank you so much memaw love always from Southern California🎉🎉🎉
That’s how my Mamaw used to make her gravy I’m pretty sure. She’s been gone a very long time. And I miss her every day. This video made me smile and cry at the same time. Tell your Mamaw she is amazing.
❤😢❤
My mom ALWAYS added coffee to her chicken gravy, too! Yum, Yum! She also made "red-eye" gravy when we had fried ham. I bet your grandma would know how to make that, too.
That sounds so interesting and yummy
You are bringing back so many memories for me with the way that you cook. 😊 My mother used to cook the same way, and we grew up on good ol home cookin... there's nothing better! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. It looks so delicious! God bless you all! 😁💜 🍳 🥓
Thank you so much and God bless you
Your Mamaw is such a blessing to her whole family. Give Mamaw a hug whenever you can, and a kiss on her cheek! That’s the best cooking for sure! Thank you, Mamaw, on showing us how you make your wonderful gravy, I will be making this in the morning, God bless your family 😊💯❤️
I love the way your grandma cooks. Thank you, and God bless you and your family
i love your accents
Wow 😲 loving it 💕 I didn't know your secret ingredient 👍👍 I only knew to add coffee to the skillet after I cooked and removed the ham. The coffee raised up all of the goodie from the skillet. God bless you both and I just found your channel so I'm adding you to my daily prayer list 🙏❤️❤️
Good ol red eye gravy, with the ham and coffee
Would love to see her make greens. Mustard turnip greens or collards
Yes!!!
Would love to see how she makes greens! I bet she has a secret recipe
Now, my grandmothers used lard, bacon grease, milk, flour, all the good stuff this grandmother has done but I never saw anyone use coffee. I am definitely going to try this. I've been told I was a good gravy maker but it never hurts to check out other folks. Thank you Mawmaw...
U know you are watching a true made with love cook whenA. They don't measure ANYTHING n B. They always have a secret ingredient. Thank u 4 the receipe mam😊
Your Mamaw is so precious! I've made gravy all my life (71 yrs old) & I've never heard of putting coffee in it. I'm going to try this!
I love her aprons and the way she cooks.❤ Brings back so many happy memories of when I watched my Gramma cookin with love way back when..❤❤
Saw in other comments; this is called “Red Eye Gravy”. I’m born and raised Cali; never would imagine. Who’d a thunk… coffee in gravy. Why not!? God Bless Mamaw!
U’ve got to try it……u’ll see it’s the best gravy there is
What a Legacy your Grandma and Grandpa are leaving for your family. So much love, appreciation and pride in your grandma's skills. A wonderful family with so many others embraced by your grandparents' generosity of heart. Appreciate watching your mum and hearing your voice which indicated so much of respect. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
My Daddy 😇 would make Red Eye Gravy from his fried country ham slices and he added coffee to the drippings. 😋❤️😋 So good with scrambled eggs, biscuits and grits!!
My grandpa loved red eye gravy he is a southern boy from Georiga I don't like coffee
Looks delicious!! My family uses coffee for red-eyed gravy, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen it used in regular gravy. I can’t wait to try it!! God bless you all!!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What a great home cooking story! I love the "I didn't tell the kids cause they wouldn't have eaten it" - So true and many similar stories! Of course now I have to try it :) Thanks :)
God bless these sweet Grandmas and Grandpas! I love coffee and I bet that is some good gravy. Tell them you love them and spend as much time with them as you can. It is great, your family has these videos to pass on down to future generations. My grandparents all went home to Heaven when I was a little boy but I remember each one of them and was blessed to have had what time with them I did have. I knew I was loved by them all.
She’s just precious! Reminds me of being a young girl from Tennessee again!!! Hid bless you too!🙏❤️🙏
Southern cooking is fancy to me! She made the gravy that I tried in the south back when I just moved here to the states! Southern people are full of love, wonderful food, and hospitality. May g-d bless you too
My mom made the best gravy, I use to call milk gravy, from a little fried chicken drippings and Carnation’s evaporated milk. Oh my word. It was so good with her home made biscuits and fried chicken. I could never duplicate her gravy.❤️ But she never put coffee in hers.
My late grandmother used evaporated milk in certain recipes. But what I most associate it with was my step grandfather. Because he always used evaporated milk instead of regular in his coffee. He was too cheap to use Carnation though. He always used the supermarket brand! LOL
@@retroguy9494Mashed potatoes are so much better with evaporated milk.
@@juliannfriend6226 I'll have to give it a try!
So far tonight, I've watched her meatloaf recipe, & her secret gravy recipe; they're both just the way I make mine, except I use a little less catsup in my meatloaf! Your Mamaw is a good cook! 🥰
I found this the another night and loved watching Y'all! May God bless you and your Family~~~
Wow! Looks just like what my grandmothers made 70 years ago when I was a kid! I wish I could eat in your kitchen, ma’am ! God bless y’all!
My dad,who passed at 97,had this growing up,and during the depression.Thanks for bringing this to us.❤
My father grew up during the depression too. Only they couldn't afford the bacon. My grandparents DID have chickens though. My father told me a treat for Sunday dinner was one of the chickens and my grandmother used to strangle them! LOL Then clean and cook them. My mother's parents had chickens too. Only that grandmother used to chop their heads off. My late mother told me one of her childhood fears/traumas was watching the chicken running around after it's head was cut off.
Love your Mamaw! Can’t wait to make this gravy. My Mom (born 1918) used to made “wilted lettuce” like your Mamaw she never measured anything. But I never asked her to show me how to make it, I only know she used bacon grease heated in her iron skillet with some sugar and other things before pouring it over the lettuce. I hope she knows. God Bless you all! ❤❤❤
I just love listening to you two converse with each other. Enjoy your wonderful Grandparent's while they are on this earth. I miss mine still and they have been gone awhile.
Hello Keren
How are you doing today?
Just saw this but am headed out. Will respond when I return.
I wish u would open up a restaurant mawmaw then i could taste ur yummy food and listen to the good news of Jesus at the same time. Im glad u come on here and post videos for us. I can see your love for others in each video.
You and your husband are certainly wonderful people. You have an enormous family and have even adopted more. You cook effortlessly and seem to enjoy every moment! Your secret ingredient gravy looks delicious and also the biscuits. Thank you all for the video.
Mamaw cooks just like my grandma did. She didn't put coffee in milk gravy but looks delicious. She used to make Red Eye Gravy with coffee and country ham drippings. So good! I'm going to try coffee in the milk gravy too. How about banana puddin? So yummy. Thank you for your videos. Brings back good memories ❤
My Dad was a cook in the Army and they always poured coffee in the gravy made for thousands of soldiers. It was the best!
Please make butter beans, pancakes, okra, squash casserole, buttermilk pie and baked chicken. Thank you. 💕
Could you taste the coffee in the gravy
@@beverlyfreeze1203 not at all. Gave it a depth of richness
Mamaw is so sweet. I love how she has her secret ingredient 😅
Love all your recipes! I love your sweetness! You always make me smile! GOD be with you!
YUUUUUMMMM! Thank you so much for y’all sharing home-cooked food. No one knows how to cook anymore. There is nothing like homemade gravy. ❤️
I've only seen 2 of your cooking Videos and I've loved them both so I subscribed tonight. I cook like your Mamaw does. Simple ffoods and I don't measure with utensils for most recipes. I measure by my senses God gave me. Sight, Taste, and sometimes Touch. Thank you guys for sharing your loved family recipes.
Please cook several different bean recipes from different varieties of beans such as Pinto, Lima, split pea, and maybe 15 bean soup. With the economy going the way it is, it looks like beans will be very prominent on our tables for quite a while! Thanks for the gravy lesson!👍😀💗
I MUST SAY WATCHING YOUR MAMAW COOK IS A DELIGHT TO ME LOVE YOU GUYS
I’m 76 and never could make good gravy, but this way looks so easy and good! Can’t wait to try it. My momma did try to teach me but I never got it right. 🤔 I think you have shown me where I’ve been going wrong. 😊 Mostly just not cooking it long enough to get it brown and the coffee!
I wish you were my Mamaw. That breakfast looks so YUMMY. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Blessings.
My Auntie used to make “burnt” gravy for us; when I was little. Similar to this, but I don’t think she used coffee in it. Yours looks so delicious. ❤️
Impressive ! Who'd thought to add that secret ingredient to the mixture. I'm so intrigued that I'll have to give it go ! Thank You and Mamaw for a wholesome video !
Oh I can't wait to try her coffee gravy! Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes with us.❤
Love this!!!! So Sweet and and just like when I was growing up. Thank you, God Bless!!
I cried to think just how much you do things like my mama. Thanks so very much . Hi from lutz Florida USA
