We use to enjoy the little things but these days we let the little things go; thinking they don't mean anything, but they mean everything! Thank God for every little thing!❤❤❤
In these scary and strange times, your content just hits all the right notes. It’s sweet and real and funny and informative...and makes us feel like everything is going to be okay💗
Oh, children in my area of Minnesota were so privileged to have “lunch ladies”. The smells, the food and awesome taste and the love and care that went into each bite or piece of conversation. What a blessing. ❤. I thank them so much. I’m almost 71 and will always think of each and every one of those ladies who took their time and talent to care for children 🥰
Mr. Brown. You warmed my heart with your fashion show!! So good to have a good laugh. Your school memories are similar to mine, minus the saws , hatchet s and hammers.. haha!! We had two grades per room, 1 thru 8. The principal taught 7/8 and coached the boys basketball team. There were only 4 in my 8th grade class so the school was consolidated into a larger district. Sad day. The building sold off to a Christian school a few years ago , made me very happy. We had thee best hot lunches all from scratch. I can still see those beautiful faces smiling as they served all the delicious wonderful meals. We said grace before we ate. Sometimes it was my only meal. My dad had heart disease, four heart attacks, and passed away when I was 12. Those meals kept me... I will never forget how kind those lunch ladies and teachers were.
You are bringing this ole' disabled granny immeasurable joy ma'am. Since my stroke three years ago cooking is my main job and joy here; everything else is still beyond me at this time. Thank you for the free lessons in how to do it all well. You have the best personality, and I thank you!
I worked in the school cafeteria for 12 years when my 2 children were in school and I did the baking. We made everything from scratch and the kids loved them. Homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. Yum!!
Mr. Brown reminds me so much of my late father. I love looking at his hands. They look like Daddy's hands. Man hands. Hard working hands. And your garden!! Daddy's gardens we're so beautiful. They looked like landscaping. And he did the majority of the cooking. Nobody could cook to satisfy him. Thanks for the memories
My fondest memories are the special items I loved in elementary school in the mid fifties on and into the 60s with junior hi and onward. I still try to replicate many favorites but even the fish sticks (❤️) and numerous others. Oh the clover leaf rolls (2) with a dab of grape jelly I tied to disperse evenly on each pillowy bite.
I'm going to put the dry ingredients in bags so when I want these I can just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients! I do the same with my corn mix. Thank you Ms. Lori!!! As my granddaughter would say, "you're the best!"
I still sift flour (unbleached) and put 2 cups (25grams IIRC) in 1 quart freezer zip locks. I sift and bag up 5 lbs at a time and makes baking sooo much easier. Lots of recipes call for 2c flour and if i need more or less I can adjust. Flour needs to be sifted because otherwise you are using too much...it compacts.
I love your podcast I watch it all the time I'm sorry this recipe turned out bad for me and I'm a pretty good Baker Berry dry not much flavor but anyway I love the stories about the lunch ladies. My favorite has a child who had very little food at home was the smell when you went into that dining hall it was so wonderful. Thank you for the memory stories I love you both so much. Try to be honest.
Ya’lls memories of yesteryear are so heartwarming. Just remembering how innocent the way it used to be makes my heart feel all warm and sad for today’s generation. God bless us all. Stay safe and love like there’s no tomorrow 🙏🏻💙💖💖🙏🏻
Lord have mercy, I thought Phil Robertson had popped into your kitchen when Mr. Brown walked in. He busted my britches when he talked about his schooldays. Brownies look delicious and your hair is gorgeous. I am surprised TV hasn’t called you two for a variety show of cooking and stories. I am a fan for sure!
Oh add me to the invite🙋🏻♀️. It would be quite the feast for certain. Like one big ole “church supper”😊. Hi I’m Darlene over at Souper at 60. Ya’all come on over and visit with me in my kitchen sometime. Love to have you. Lord bless❤️🇺🇸
Any time you say "lunch lady" my ears perk up. I can still remember the smell of the fresh baked items wafting down the halls mid morning, making me drool in anticipation of what was for lunch.
My Mom always wrote her recipes with upper case T for table spoon and lower case T for teaspoon. Great memories.... I will love making this with fresh milled flour!
"Don't get in my stuff and play dress up." I'm still laughing. 😂😂😂 can't wait to make these brownies. They look amazing. Once again thank you guys for being such an amazing blessing.
I remember my school lunches they where like Mr.Brown says it was like eating at home. We always knew each morning what we were having for lunch you could smell it cooking. Those were the good old days.
I have the best food memories dating from when i was in Junior High School! My mom was a clueless cook so the meals at home were bland and pretty bad mostly. We never got any money to buy lunchboxes at school but when i started to earn some money babysitting i bought myself lunchboxes for lunch! Pure heaven! My love for food began there. I am 66 and wouldn’t mind eating lunchbox meals everyday still 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My husband has bragged about the delicious salads served in his lunchroom. Wish I had that dressing recipe he tries to describe. It was an oil vinegar-combo, slightly sweet. He went to a Catholic school with Italian lunch ladies. He was truly in love with those ladies and he was also kind of chubby, lol.
Mr. Brown's story brought back a lot of memories back for me. I went to a one room school, grades 1-8. We older students prepared lunch, from the big cans. I guess they couldn't afford to hire a cook. We enjoyed it though. I was the only student in my 8th grade class. Lol. We built forts, played ball with bats of pieces of wood or tree branches, had dug outs under the school house...soo many memories, life was good.
Bertie, That's an amazing story! I come from a very small town with a small school and hear lots of stories about small schools, but I don't think I've ever heard tell of the older students cooking lunch for the younger! 💗
Bertie Yearout: Life was better back then. In today's world it seems/or is a nightmare of people being shot dead or terribly maimed, and innocent school children being shot dead in their school rooms. I went to a one room school also. When we had recess, Miss Edna Jane Rich, a very tall blond lady would come outside onto the school porch and blow her whistle and announce, "Recess is over. Come inside now." I think that must have been 1941 because WW2 had just started, and we had to practice the Air Raid Drills. Our school Principle, Mr. Ross at another school, was a very tall dark haired man who also helped cook the school lunches that were served in huge bowels on Wooden picnic tables covered in 'Oil Cloth' table cloths in the basement. He would also say Grace before we ate. The teachers ate with us, too. It was very much like a family setting. There was also a galvanized wash tub filled with apples grown on school grounds, and peaches and pears when they were ripe and ready. And, always fresh baked cookies laying on last nights newspaper on the "Cookie Table." White and chocolate milk was two cents a bottle with a straw. Every child would eat as much as they could, and when lunch was over, return to the class room for a rest period with their heads on their desk cradled in their arms...and fall into a "Lunch Nap." You and I have seen a lot happen in the world, and I understand what your comment was about. I don't think the younger generation is able to process our life back in the old days. And, as Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories."
My grandma was a lunch lady in Missouri when I was a child. She always talked about making all of the food from scratch. I was jealous because my school didn't have that great of food. Great memories! 💗
I'am laughing and laughing at Mr. Brown's story 😂😂😂 I love y'all and surly bring back memories of my childhood. I'm 56 and God Bless y'all and hug you tight for your yummy recipes, gardening and canning and stories that give the laughter and love that this world needs more of today. We need to go back our roots. ❤❤❤
LOVED this one, Miss Lori! You covered so much, other than just the brownie recipe. And at the first, when Mr Brown came in, in the suglasses...HILARIOUS! You guys are SO great together! I LOVE brownies, and this looks like a GREAT recipe! Can't wait to try this. God bless you, both!
Seeing how you & Mr. B are together🥰... makes me miss my 😍sweetie-pie😍so-sooo much !!! But also makes me so happy to see another couple as delightfully happy & content together as we were before my darlin’s death ... happy new year to you two cuties‼️🤗
It's a joy to see lovely family home cooking. I cook from scratch all the way to my sandwich bread. I love seeing new ideas or different ways. I am not able to drive due to my epilepsy so I have had my groceries delivered since Instacart came to my area long before the pandemic. Since the pandemic it has been a lifesaver. I live in a smaller town and I have gotten to know most of the shoppers. They are lovely people who really try hard to get me great produce. Thank you for your recipes and all around lovely chats.
Also, I remember the principal asking us to put our guns under the seat of the truck and not leave them in plain view in the back window in the gun rack....good times. No one thought anything of it.
Your video’s are the best! I like the cooking video’s best, but enjoy them all! Your husband and you are the greatest! If there were more parents and grandparents like you the world would be a better place! BTW, your hair looks fabulous!
It’s called Conservative Values ♥️ Something that parents are not passing down to this generation. People with conservative values are a dying breed in America and as you can see. It’s a darn right Shame. 🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹🇺🇸❤️🩹
Sooo good!! I cooked professionally for yrs and I always called my hands “kitchen” hands because you can grab pert near anything. Those brownies look amazing. My school elementary, had the best food also. I went in the 70’s. After that I believe menus started changing. Man I miss cooking for someone also. It’s just me. But don’t think I wouldn’t whip these up for myself and take to the nursing home where I work now. Thank you again Lori and Mr.Brown. God Bless and go praising Jesus
@@WhippoorwillHoller that’s great she works there. It’s hard work. After retiring from cooking I wanted to help people and I fell in love with it. Being 53 soon not sure how more yrs I can do it. We were hit bad with COVID every resident got it and we lost over a dozen. Every employee got it. But.. now we are coming out of it and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay safe
I worked for years cooking professionally, then became a nurse. I brought in food for my co workers, shared with friends and neighbors. I am now 74 and retired, with bad arthritis and can’t do as much physically as I used to. But, I still cook huge pots of chili and soups, cornbread, biscuits, etc. to share with friends and neighbors. Instead of making cookies this year I made dinners with enough for two servings featuring baked ham, fresh southern style green beans, red garnet baked sweet potatoes, and homemade biscuits. The people I gave it to just raves about it. And I had it for dinner at least four times! I now have the hambone with meat left on it in the freezer. Gonna make the roux Miss Lori made for gumbo and use ham and shrimp in mine, and share again. I also make a full dinner for people at a homeless shelter once a year, which is always fun for me and much appreciated by those who come to eat. Don’t stop cooking and sharing your good food! 😁
I am 82 and remember my lunch lady days. I had six children and worked in school lunch rooms so I could be home when they were. I still have people in their 40s etc. who remember me, feels good. I love you and mr. brown look forward to seeing you on here
Not long ago, my daughters and I were talking about school cafeteria food and our favorites, and the wonderful ladies who cooked for all of us. And how wonderful our meals were and our favorite days to eat at the cafeteria. 🥰 Memories.....
When I was in elementary school in the 60s, I went to a catholic school and our lunchroom was run by a beautiful lady named Mrs Crowe. She was in her 80s and still working. Her husband had passed away and her children were grown and she worked there for years. She lived behind the church and Mrs Degott, her assistant was her only full time helper. Those 2 cooked lunch daily for about 250 children, nuns, teachers and several priests. She made everything from scratch except twice a month we had frozen pizzas. She made chili, hamburger stew, meatloaf, Salisbury Steak, chicken pot pie, fried fish, sloppy joes and cheeseburgers on homemade buns. She made homemade desserts every day too. I am 63 and my favorite thing that she made was an Oatmeal Cake with a Broiled Icing. I can still taste that cake. It was delicious. When it came time to serve she had 2 school mothers who came in to help serve and clean up. Mrs Crowe Sat on a stool and checked everyone out. She worked until she was 92 before they finally got her to retire. She lived to be 99 years old. She was such a sweet woman. She did not drive and her assistant picked her up every day to bring her to work. They started at 6:30 am and were finished at 1:30 every afternoon. The parents had to work like 14 days a year serving. If you worked and could not work your turn you could pay another parent to take your place. My mother was a stay at home mom and she worked about 3 days a week in the cafeteria serving to help pay our tuition.
Loving you from Tennessee! Your RUclips channel is the best! Highlight of my day to see a new video! You & Mr. Brown are so genuine. You can’t make that up.
Grandson’s going to make them right now ! He’s become quite the chef since this heart problem hit me ! I just love y’all ....be blessed and favored always.🙏🏽❤️
Love your stories...we’re from the same era. I remember the milk dispensers you’re talking about...and the day when the boys had their hunting guns in their pickup trucks when they drive to school...and no one gave it a second thought because the idea that anything bad could happen never even entered anyone’s minds!
Miss Laurie, my husband and I are eating your brownies as I type. Mr Spear and I are eating them warm just like you and Mr Brown! They are fudgy and delicious! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! I love your video, too!
Miss Lori...Your grandchildren are beautiful! I really enjoyed this video! I have a homemade brownie recipe that I make sometimes, but I want to try yours soon. They looked delicious! Mr. Brown made me laugh when he came out wearing your apron! I thought maybe he was going to try to lick the bowl....lol. When I worked in the school cafeteria here, the meals that we made from scratch were the kids favorite meals. They loved the chicken and noodles with homemade rolls and also the spaghetti. I enjoyed hearing Mr. Brown's stories and listening to your chit chat. You made my day! Have a wonderful weekend & God Bless.
I love you and Mr. Brown and your cabin. I'm 65 and when I was little I remember our lunch lady always making homemade lunches for us not the stuff they do now. Those were the days. I also remember going to a one room school when I first started school we had to walk there and back everyday.
Thank you for being on RUclips. With all the really hard things going on in the country right now, your videos are so kind and soothing, and I can just feel my blood pressure go down every time you speak. I appreciate y'all so much. With love from New Braunfels, Texas.
It's so wonderful seeing y'alls faces in them precious grandbabies faces! Thank you for this recipe❤ Great stories Mr. Brown!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us❤
Thank you for all you do to teach your viewers how to make delicious foods. I LOVE that Mr. Brown loves to make you laugh. I love watching the interaction between you two as much as I love learning new recipes. Ms. Lori, I love your calm nature and sweet personality. So glad I came across your RUclips channel.
I remember our lunch ladies in elementary school. They cooked lunches every day! The smells that would come out of our cafeteria were amazing!! One desert I ABSOLUTELY LOVED was their chocolate brownies with chocolate/peanut butter frosting! Could I add 1/2 a cup peanut butter to the frosting? Or I could use your peanut butter brownies frosting, right?! I have tried many of your recipes! My husband loved every one of them! Thank you and Mr Brown for sharing!!
My word! Peanut butter frosting on a decadent chocolate brownie sounds like sheer heaven! Guess what I’ll be baking this weekend? I’m about to gain 20 lbs. since I found this wonderful channel. Thanks for the suggestion! This couple is absolutely precious, aren’t they?
I remember chocolate/peanut butter brownie/cake/bar thingies, too!! They were sooooooo good! Did you figure out how to recreate them? Also, our chocolate cake was yummm! I grew up in Texas in the ‘80’s. What about you?
I remember the great peanut butter sandwiches! Didn’t seem like anyone had allergies then. Now they don’t serve in schools. My favorite meal was tuna noodle! It was the best. Homemade cinnamon rolls, chili! Fish always on Friday along with wonderful mac and cheese.! Wonderful memories of the cooks! Always so nice! Homemade mashed potatoes!
I remember those milk bags. I worked in the lunchroom when I was in the 5th and 6th grade during recess so I could get my lunches free. It was GREAT! I washed dishes and helped with what ever needed to be done. Including putting those milk bags in the milk cooler.
Thank you, You reminded me of when I worked in the cafeteria in 7th and 8th grade in Chattanooga. I remember the food was always good. Then we moved to the country and the food got even better. ps The brownies are delicious.
I am 72 & my hubby is in the high risk group so I’ve been ordering Wal-Mart on line & store pick up the entire time for fear of bringing something into the house. It took a while to get the hang of it but it works fairly easily.
I will be 78 and hubby and I not in good health, and STAY AT HOME. We order and pick up everything. It just is not safe out there.It works well for us.
now that I have discovered how to do the online ordering, I love it, and can actually start to like Wal-Mart again - I shop for both my elderly mother and myself
My son and daughter in law have five kids and loves the on line order and pick up. My daughter in law says she’ll never go back in a grocery store to do her weekly shopping ever again. With five kids it’s been a godsend. 😊
I love WATCHING your videos and laughed so hard when your husband came out with your apron on n those sunglasses on.i see why you don't watched tv you two are a hoot..loved it
The way you and your husband are so comfortable together makes me smile and feel almost there with the two of you. Stay happy and safe and kiss those beautiful grand kids for me.
I thought of you and prayed for you when you lost your friend. I lost my best friend right before thanksgiving. She was only mid fifties and seemingly healthy and active, but she had a sudden heart attack and passed away. I still feel a bit lost and lonely without her. I hope you have so many friends to fill your heart. I wish I did, but it’s hard to build friendships with all these restrictions. It’s hard to find good friends! God bless you and yours 🌸
I’m so sorry that you lost your best friend. I lost one of my very closest friends 5 years ago. I miss her every day so much. I’m saying a prayer for you now. Sending Love from Texas 💗🙏🤠
@@grammyb5216 thank you. I’m sorry you lost your friend, too. It’s so hard in the beginning because I keep thinking I need to tell her something, to text her, etc. I pray I see her again someday in heaven 🙏🏻
That is so terribly sad I can’t begin to say how sorry I am. My best friend is like a sister to me but without the judgment and criticism! I have thought how life would be without her, and am just so sorry yours died. God bless you.
I remember those home cooked meals at school. I loved the giant meatball they made with a brown gravy, mash potatoes, veggie and homemade rolls. My favorite dessert was the No back cookies. Our lunch Ladies were the best. Great memories
At my high school several trucks at gunracks in their pickups. 🤣 So funny to remember those times. Thank you for sharing your recipes and a part of your blessed lives. Your shorter hair is very becoming to you. Beautiful .
Oh my goodness! Love the lunch lady recipes. Please share them all. They bring back such good memories of my childhood. Thanks for your videos and sharing the simple BUSY way of life.
Back in my elementary in Ohio we got real homemade lunches too. Our lunch ladies were awesome. We only had 1 choice for lunch, but always could have seconds. The lunch trays actually had a filling serving on it.
I remember Lunch Lady Brownies. Yum Yum. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us Ms. Lori. I think I may make a pan and put the cooked icing on it for my two Girly Girls. Mr. Brown made me laugh so hard when he came out all dressed up with one of your aprons on lol. Much love to you both. Stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all. Hugggggggggggs
See why I love stories. Mr. Brown’s stories, like that one leaves my mouth hanging on the ground. That brings back memories of me playing outside at school but I couldn’t bring saws to school either. 😂💙
Thanks Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown, my husband and I truly enjoy watching your video’s. Thanks for sharing those child hood memories with us Mr. Brown, we both laugh 😂. Mrs.Lori, thanks for all those wonderful recipes. You both are great simple people and that’s what we like the most. Thanks for everything. ❤️
I just love you two! Such a sweet couple! I love your recipes and make many of them to rave reviews of my family! When you guys said the brownies were lairapin good, I was so surprised! Our family says that and I have never heard anyone else use that term! So funny!
Haven’t been looking at RUclips for a long while - you’re short hair is adorable!!! As always you make us hungry watching you cook. Love you and Mr Brown!
Love Mr. Brown's sense of Humor!

Those were the good days! Now our kids get canned, processed stuff in a lot of schools.

Yes, I work in school cafeterias and mad everything from scratch also. ❤️❤️
My fondest memories are the special items I loved in elementary school in the mid fifties on and into the 60s with junior hi and onward. I still try to replicate many favorites but even the fish sticks (❤️) and numerous others. Oh the clover leaf rolls (2) with a dab of grape jelly I tied to disperse evenly on each pillowy bite.
Hanging out with you and Mr. Brown is like visiting with family. I love it
It really is like there's any family I'm new here on this site. It's fun for me because I never had family like this
Laughter is the best medicine. Nice to have a husband like him.
I'm going to put the dry ingredients in bags so when I want these I can just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients! I do the same with my corn mix. Thank you Ms. Lori!!! As my granddaughter would say, "you're the best!"

You wear the short hair beautifully, I also love your hair when it is long and pinned up. You are always so beautiful. Thanks for the laugh Mr. Brown.

What time is supper?😊 I wish I was your neighbor. You both are so sweet and you always make me smile. Bless both of you!!
I’m with you Miss Lori, I’m in the mood for some chocolate. 😋 yummy! Mr Brown you are a character. You just made us all laugh. Much love to you both.
Leaning on the everlasting arms." Takes me back to when we were having church in the basement. GREAT MEMORIES.
I love papa bears and little mama bears stories that you tell❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
With all you subscribers and friends ( family) can you just imagine the pot luck meal everyone could bring to you and Mr. Brown. LOL WOW WOW WOW.
Wouldn't that be so much fun, xoxoxo
@@WhippoorwillHoller Oh the fun and good food and great times we would all have ☺
Maybe there would be a way to do a meetup some time in the future in a public place. Would love to meet you both!

The cooks shorthand. Fond memories.
Always 1 tsp and 1 tbsp lol
You seem like such a sweet lady...you remind me of the sweet ladies that cooked and served lunch at my little country school.
She is.
Both are simply Precious!
Thank you.
True.They were almost always cheerful and kind.
"Don't get in my stuff and play dress up." I'm still laughing. 😂😂😂 can't wait to make these brownies. They look amazing. Once again thank you guys for being such an amazing blessing.
LOL Mr Brown😂. The grand babies are so precious. They are lucky to have you as examples❤️.
Lord gave mercy Ms Lori … your hubby is a hoot ! It’s so good for my soul to see y’all cutting up snd have a good time !!!
I remember my school lunches they where like Mr.Brown says it was like eating at home. We always knew each morning what we were having for lunch you could smell it cooking. Those were the good old days.
My husband passed away three weeks ago. And it’s the small quiet moments like in your video that I miss so much.
Jane, I'm so sorry, We pray for your strength and Peace, we Love you, xoxoxo
My husband still talks about his lunchroom meals (especially the rolls of course 😂) and he is 67 years old!!

Mr. Brown's story brought back a lot of memories back for me. I went to a one room school, grades 1-8. We older students prepared lunch, from the big cans. I guess they couldn't afford to hire a cook. We enjoyed it though. I was the only student in my 8th grade class. Lol. We built forts, played ball with bats of pieces of wood or tree branches, had dug outs under the school house...soo many memories, life was good.
Bertie, That's an amazing story! I come from a very small town with a small school and hear lots of stories about small schools, but I don't think I've ever heard tell of the older students cooking lunch for the younger! 💗

And, always fresh baked cookies laying on last nights newspaper on the "Cookie Table." White and chocolate milk was two cents a bottle with a straw. Every child would eat as much as they could, and when lunch was over, return to the class room for a rest period with their heads on their desk cradled in their arms...and fall into a "Lunch Nap." You and I have seen a lot happen in the world, and I understand what your comment was about. I don't think the younger generation is able to process our life back in the old days. And, as Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories."
Oh I don’t watch tv either! I want things that are good for my heart and mind! So I watch you and Miss Vickie!
It’s crazy but I like to watch Japanese cooking shows. So relaxing.
try watching the farming pastors wife
I don't watch tv either, my fav you tubers besides Whipporwill is Stansfam, Deer meat for dinner, Blue Gabe, Kelly Young, and Deer Mom.
My grandma was a lunch lady in Missouri when I was a child. She always talked about making all of the food from scratch. I was jealous because my school didn't have that great of food. Great memories! 💗
I’m 5 days into the Daniel fast, and here I am watching brownie videos. Just getting my fix and holding till later.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'am laughing and laughing at Mr. Brown's story 😂😂😂 I love y'all and surly bring back memories of my childhood. I'm 56 and God Bless y'all and hug you tight for your yummy recipes, gardening and canning and stories that give the laughter and love that this world needs more of today. We need to go back our roots. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed
LOVED this one, Miss Lori! You covered so much, other than just the brownie recipe. And at the first, when Mr Brown came in, in the suglasses...HILARIOUS! You guys are SO great together! I LOVE brownies, and this looks like a GREAT recipe! Can't wait to try this. God bless you, both!
Ms Lori love your video and stories better than tv. Would like one of your cookbook. Love your farm.
Seeing how you & Mr. B are together🥰... makes me miss my 😍sweetie-pie😍so-sooo much !!! But also makes me so happy to see another couple as delightfully happy & content together as we were before my darlin’s death ... happy new year to you two cuties‼️🤗
It's a joy to see lovely family home cooking. I cook from scratch all the way to my sandwich bread. I love seeing new ideas or different ways. I am not able to drive due to my epilepsy so I have had my groceries delivered since Instacart came to my area long before the pandemic. Since the pandemic it has been a lifesaver. I live in a smaller town and I have gotten to know most of the shoppers. They are lovely people who really try hard to get me great produce.
Thank you for your recipes and all around lovely chats.
It's nice to see Mr. Brown so chatty and happy! Good job Mrs. Brown 😉👍
😂 MrBrown's hilarious - he's truly happy in God !
Also, I remember the principal asking us to put our guns under the seat of the truck and not leave them in plain view in the back window in the gun rack....good times. No one thought anything of it.
Your video’s are the best! I like the cooking video’s best, but enjoy them all! Your husband and you are the greatest! If there were more parents and grandparents like you the world would be a better place! BTW, your hair looks fabulous!
Absolutely the best people right there!!
It’s called Conservative Values ♥️
Something that parents are not passing down to this generation.
People with conservative values are a dying breed in America and as you can see. It’s a darn right Shame.

Sooo good!! I cooked professionally for yrs and I always called my hands “kitchen” hands because you can grab pert near anything.
Those brownies look amazing. My school elementary, had the best food also. I went in the 70’s. After that I believe menus started changing.
Man I miss cooking for someone also. It’s just me. But don’t think I wouldn’t whip these up for myself and take to the nursing home where I work now. Thank you again Lori and Mr.Brown. God Bless and go praising Jesus
Share them with your co workers! My daughter, Alli, works in a nursing home, special people work in nursing homes, God Bless
@@WhippoorwillHoller I will for sure. Thank you Lori. ♥️✝️♥️
@@WhippoorwillHoller that’s great she works there. It’s hard work. After retiring from cooking I wanted to help people and I fell in love with it. Being 53 soon not sure how more yrs I can do it. We were hit bad with COVID every resident got it and we lost over a dozen. Every employee got it. But.. now we are coming out of it and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Stay safe
I worked for years cooking professionally, then became a nurse. I brought in food for my co workers, shared with friends and neighbors. I am now 74 and retired, with bad arthritis and can’t do as much physically as I used to. But, I still cook huge pots of chili and soups, cornbread, biscuits, etc. to share with friends and neighbors. Instead of making cookies this year I made dinners with enough for two servings featuring baked ham, fresh southern style green beans, red garnet baked sweet potatoes, and homemade biscuits. The people I gave it to just raves about it. And I had it for dinner at least four times! I now have the hambone with meat left on it in the freezer. Gonna make the roux Miss Lori made for gumbo and use ham and shrimp in mine, and share again. I also make a full dinner for people at a homeless shelter once a year, which is always fun for me and much appreciated by those who come to eat. Don’t stop cooking and sharing your good food! 😁
@@tonibauer2949 how wonderful!! That’s fabulous, God Bless Toni
I am 82 and remember my lunch lady days. I had six children and worked in school lunch rooms so I could be home when they were. I still have people in their 40s etc. who remember me, feels good. I love you and mr. brown look forward to seeing you on here
Not long ago, my daughters and I were talking about school cafeteria food and our favorites, and the wonderful ladies who cooked for all of us. And how wonderful our meals were and our favorite days to eat at the cafeteria. 🥰 Memories.....
Thank you for the recipe. Loved his story. We were so lucky to have wonderful childhoods. Cherished memories!
P.S. love that you two are so down to earth, how refreshing 🌸
When I was in elementary school in the 60s, I went to a catholic school and our lunchroom was run by a beautiful lady named Mrs Crowe. She was in her 80s and still working. Her husband had passed away and her children were grown and she worked there for years. She lived behind the church and Mrs Degott, her assistant was her only full time helper. Those 2 cooked lunch daily for about 250 children, nuns, teachers and several priests. She made everything from scratch except twice a month we had frozen pizzas. She made chili, hamburger stew, meatloaf, Salisbury Steak, chicken pot pie, fried fish, sloppy joes and cheeseburgers on homemade buns. She made homemade desserts every day too. I am 63 and my favorite thing that she made was an Oatmeal Cake with a Broiled Icing. I can still taste that cake. It was delicious. When it came time to serve she had 2 school mothers who came in to help serve and clean up. Mrs Crowe Sat on a stool and checked everyone out. She worked until she was 92 before they finally got her to retire. She lived to be 99 years old. She was such a sweet woman. She did not drive and her assistant picked her up every day to bring her to work. They started at 6:30 am and were finished at 1:30 every afternoon. The parents had to work like 14 days a year serving. If you worked and could not work your turn you could pay another parent to take your place. My mother was a stay at home mom and she worked about 3 days a week in the cafeteria serving to help pay our tuition.
Wow
I loooooove Mr. Brown's stories (and his apron too)
So glad to find your brownie recipe. Live your and Mr.Brown's playfulness and the story of the big milk bag.
Loving you from Tennessee! Your RUclips channel is the best! Highlight of my day to see a new video! You & Mr. Brown are so genuine. You can’t make that up.
Grandson’s going to make them right now ! He’s become quite the chef since this heart problem hit me ! I just love y’all ....be blessed and favored always.🙏🏽❤️
Love your stories...we’re from the same era. I remember the milk dispensers you’re talking about...and the day when the boys had their hunting guns in their pickup trucks when they drive to school...and no one gave it a second thought because the idea that anything bad could happen never even entered anyone’s minds!
Miss Laurie, my husband and I are eating your brownies as I type. Mr Spear and I are eating them warm just like you and Mr Brown! They are fudgy and delicious! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe! I love your video, too!
Miss Lori...Your grandchildren are beautiful! I really enjoyed this video! I have a homemade brownie recipe that I make sometimes, but I want to try yours soon. They looked delicious! Mr. Brown made me laugh when he came out wearing your apron! I thought maybe he was going to try to lick the bowl....lol. When I worked in the school cafeteria here, the meals that we made from scratch were the kids favorite meals. They loved the chicken and noodles with homemade rolls and also the spaghetti. I enjoyed hearing Mr. Brown's stories and listening to your chit chat. You made my day! Have a wonderful weekend & God Bless.
Thanks Tawna, we used to makes big pots of chicken and noodles, with rolls , the kids loved it here too!
Love mr brown’s story about the milk. I worked for Denny’s for 30 years and the milk came in a large bag with a 10 inch hose attached 😘
April that recollection of the bag of milk like what Mr.Brown spoke of sounds like same thing. We all certainly can come up with some stories.
Grandchildren so cute. You’re hair looks good.
Happy New Year.
Wish I had one of your brownies.
Or 100 of them! Lol
@@cathyburns750
I was going to save you 99.
Absolutely loving the stories. My Dad passed away in April, and hearing stories is possibly one of the things i miss the most. 🦋
Don't worry about feeding this big family... we'll make it pot-luck !!
Yes! Somebody always brings mayonnaise cake
Pot-luck is the best!
I love you and Mr. Brown and your cabin. I'm 65 and when I was little I remember our lunch lady always making homemade lunches for us not the stuff they do now. Those were the days. I also remember going to a one room school when I first started school we had to walk there and back everyday.
Brownies are always a super hit and these look incredible. I like
It’s of walnuts too!, Yummy for the tummy !
I loved the story about Mr. Browns school memories!! What a good story teller!! Love him!!!
I love cards ,no one sends them anymore ,so just feel blessed ,you can put them up next year !
I so enjoyed this video. Love the old Dalton school Memories and dear Mr. Johnny Cavenear. He was a great Man. Brownie's look perfect. Love you guys.
I just have to say I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
even on days when I’m feeling blue you bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. God Bless you both. ❤️
When I was in 1st-6th grade we had the best meals! Home cooked, no cans.
Those brownies look fabulous! And I so enjoy your hospitality while you share the recipe!
...mr. brown just walked into your kitchen, and i am weeping with laughter!!! XD
I love how you love each other and how you laugh together.
Thank you for being on RUclips. With all the really hard things going on in the country right now, your videos are so kind and soothing, and I can just feel my blood pressure go down every time you speak. I appreciate y'all so much. With love from New Braunfels, Texas.
It's so wonderful seeing y'alls faces in them precious grandbabies faces! Thank you for this recipe❤
Great stories Mr. Brown!! Thank you so much for sharing them with us❤
I LOVE the sketch/drawing of you and your hubby at the beginning of you videos!
I am so loving your intro. Those little tiny hands in that dough is precious. It fills my heart.
Y'all remind me of my good friend and her husband. Both of them passed a year an a half ago. I really miss them.
You two are adorable !! I love his humor with you and trying to cheer you up and it worked !!
Thank you for all you do to teach your viewers how to make delicious foods. I LOVE that Mr. Brown loves to make you laugh. I love watching the interaction between you two as much as I love learning new recipes. Ms. Lori, I love your calm nature and sweet personality. So glad I came across your RUclips channel.
I remember our lunch ladies in elementary school. They cooked lunches every day! The smells that would come out of our cafeteria were amazing!! One desert I ABSOLUTELY LOVED was their chocolate brownies with chocolate/peanut butter frosting! Could I add 1/2 a cup peanut butter to the frosting? Or I could use your peanut butter brownies frosting, right?! I have tried many of your recipes! My husband loved every one of them! Thank you and Mr Brown for sharing!!
My word! Peanut butter frosting on a decadent chocolate brownie sounds like sheer heaven! Guess what I’ll be baking this weekend? I’m about to gain 20 lbs. since I found this wonderful channel. Thanks for the suggestion! This couple is absolutely precious, aren’t they?
I remember chocolate/peanut butter brownie/cake/bar thingies, too!! They were sooooooo good! Did you figure out how to recreate them? Also, our chocolate cake was yummm! I grew up in Texas in the ‘80’s. What about you?
I remember the great peanut butter sandwiches! Didn’t seem like anyone had allergies then. Now they don’t serve in schools. My favorite meal was tuna noodle! It was the best. Homemade cinnamon rolls, chili! Fish always on Friday along with wonderful mac and cheese.! Wonderful memories of the cooks! Always so nice! Homemade mashed potatoes!
I remember those milk bags. I worked in the lunchroom when I was in the 5th and 6th grade during recess so I could get my lunches free. It was GREAT! I washed dishes and helped with what ever needed to be done. Including putting those milk bags in the milk cooler.
Thats wonderful!
Thank you, You reminded me of when I worked in the cafeteria in 7th and 8th grade in Chattanooga. I remember the food was always good. Then we moved to the country and the food got even better. ps The brownies are delicious.
Thank you Mr.Brown for sharing such memories. Makes me chuckle, and we sure do need that now days. So enjoy watching the both of you.
I am 72 & my hubby is in the high risk group so I’ve been ordering Wal-Mart on line & store pick up the entire time for fear of bringing something into the house. It took a while to get the hang of it but it works fairly easily.
I will be 78 and hubby and I not in good health, and STAY AT HOME. We order and pick up everything. It just is not safe out there.It works well for us.
now that I have discovered how to do the online ordering, I love it, and can actually start to like Wal-Mart again - I shop for both my elderly mother and myself
My son and daughter in law have five kids and loves the on line order and pick up. My daughter in law says she’ll never go back in a grocery store to do her weekly shopping ever again. With five kids it’s been a godsend. 😊
@@brendameyer3055
I imagine so!
Me too. My hubby has cancer so we have been very careful. I love Walmart and Aldi’s online ordering.
I love WATCHING your videos and laughed so hard when your husband came out with your apron on n those sunglasses on.i see why you don't watched tv you two are a hoot..loved it
I laughed to that was funny
Love the new haircut. The brownies look heavenly ❤️
The way you and your husband are so comfortable together makes me smile and feel almost there with the two of you. Stay happy and safe and kiss those beautiful grand kids for me.
I thought of you and prayed for you when you lost your friend. I lost my best friend right before thanksgiving. She was only mid fifties and seemingly healthy and active, but she had a sudden heart attack and passed away. I still feel a bit lost and lonely without her. I hope you have so many friends to fill your heart. I wish I did, but it’s hard to build friendships with all these restrictions. It’s hard to find good friends! God bless you and yours 🌸
So sorry for your loss and I know what it's like to not have no friends it really sucks. Take care of yourself.
I’m so sorry that you lost your best friend. I lost one of my very closest friends 5 years ago. I miss her every day so much. I’m saying a prayer for you now. Sending Love from Texas 💗🙏🤠
@@Brenda-qm4sy thank you. Yes, it does suck! But hopefully this year we will find a wonderful bestie 🙏🏻
@@grammyb5216 thank you. I’m sorry you lost your friend, too. It’s so hard in the beginning because I keep thinking I need to tell her something, to text her, etc. I pray I see her again someday in heaven 🙏🏻
That is so terribly sad I can’t begin to say how sorry I am. My best friend is like a sister to me but without the judgment and criticism! I have thought how life would be without her, and am just so sorry yours died. God bless you.
Thanks for the video and thanks for getting Mr. Brown to reminisce about his school days.
I remember those home cooked meals at school. I loved the giant meatball they made with a brown gravy, mash potatoes, veggie and homemade rolls. My favorite dessert was the No back cookies. Our lunch Ladies were the best. Great memories
At my high school several trucks at gunracks in their pickups. 🤣 So funny to remember those times. Thank you for sharing your recipes and a part of your blessed lives. Your shorter hair is very becoming to you. Beautiful .
Oh my goodness! Love the lunch lady recipes. Please share them all. They bring back such good memories of my childhood. Thanks for your videos and sharing the simple BUSY way of life.
Back in my elementary in Ohio we got real homemade lunches too. Our lunch ladies were awesome. We only had 1 choice for lunch, but always could have seconds. The lunch trays actually had a filling serving on it.
I remember Lunch Lady Brownies. Yum Yum. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us Ms. Lori. I think I may make a pan and put the cooked icing on it for my two Girly Girls. Mr. Brown made me laugh so hard when he came out all dressed up with one of your aprons on lol. Much love to you both. Stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all. Hugggggggggggs
Miss Lori. You look adorable today I just love your hair!
Oh thank you!
I just started watching your video's. I love them my grandparents had a farm and they raised pigs for sale. Those were the best times and memories.
Thank you! Xoxoxo
See why I love stories. Mr. Brown’s stories, like that one leaves my mouth hanging on the ground. That brings back memories of me playing outside at school but I couldn’t bring saws to school either. 😂💙
Keep "getting in her stuff and playing dress up" because we love it! 🤣
Thanks Mrs. Lori & Mr. Brown, my husband and I truly enjoy watching your video’s. Thanks for sharing those child hood memories with us Mr. Brown, we both laugh 😂. Mrs.Lori, thanks for all those wonderful recipes. You both are great simple people and that’s what we like the most. Thanks for everything. ❤️
I just love you two! Such a sweet couple! I love your recipes and make many of them to rave reviews of my family! When you guys said the brownies were lairapin good, I was so surprised! Our family says that and I have never heard anyone else use that term! So funny!
This is how I need to store the flour on my counter! None of my containers are ever big enough lol Mr. Brown is just too much! Hahahaha!
Loved listening to your husbands stories! Reminds me of my daddy ❤️
Haven’t been looking at RUclips for a long while - you’re short hair is adorable!!! As always you make us hungry watching you cook. Love you and Mr Brown!
