Hello Sweet Friend.. I Love all these Delicious recipes. 30 minute meals are right up My alley. Thanks so much for sharing. I love that chicken in the bag too. I love putting it on our salads. So Tasty. I hope that Y'all have a Truly Blessed Week ahead. My Daughter is at the hospital now. She's pregnant and bleeding really heavy. Please keep her and my unborn Grandchild in your prayers Mel.. I hope she's not miscarriage the Baby.. God Bless Y'all. Love From your Indiana Friend.
I love using the tomato paste in a tube. Just squeeze out what you need. So convenient. You have a calming presence. I just love listening to you talk through your recipes.
I'm going to have to buy me some of that in the tube, it sounds so convenient. And thank you so much, you're very sweet. I'm glad that my videos are relaxing, too much rushing around in our lives. 😉😊
Mama Mel your presentation on your salads 🥗 are outta this world ! They really do look magazine worthy, all your dishes do !! Feel proud ! You do a great job.

Have a Blessed week until next time my friend
Hi Momma Mel, I've been watching you for a while, but have never commented. Thank you, so much, for your recipes and the time you take to show us how to do them. I feel like I'm in the kitchen with you and you're speaking directly to me. Thank you for making me feel comfortable. God bless you and your family. 😊🙏✝️
Hello Mama Mel, everything looks so good . Thanks for sharing. Sending prayers, hugs &, love to you &your family. Love from Lula Mae and Family. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
I love your videos! I was watching your last aldi haul video, and you said something that made me want to hug you so much... You said you were buying some things in preparation for the holiday baking season! I was like "I needed to hear that" 😁 Love you Mama Mel and may you and your family be blessed in Jesus name ❤️
😊 You are just the sweetest, thank you so much for this precious comment. You have made me smile so big tonight. I love the cozy fall, Thanksgiving, beautiful leaf 🍁 weather so much! And of course Christmas 🎄 so much family, joy, thankfulness and baking ❤️ it will be here before we know it 🥰
Everything looks so yummy . Those brownies look so good with the marshmallows.. I try to do fancy things and it’s brownies that my grands love .. I will try this marshmallow and I have some caramel bits I’m going to put in it..and that grill chicken salad spoke to me too 😀
My family loves brownies too, they would just as soon have them than anything I work really hard on too 🤣 I think those brownies would be great with the caramel bits and marshmallows, that sounds amazing ❤️
Hey Mel! I done everything mince fresh garlic. Lol. I gotta have that jarred stuff. Haha. I love recipes from her site. They're always so good. I will try that fajita seasoning. Listen, I got a Dutch oven about 8 months ago or so, and i still can't get it. Things seem to stick so easily. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's hard to clean too. I'd just assume use my large skillet. Those brownies look Amazing! Wow! And I want to tell you just how happy I am for your channel. You are doing phenomenal. And it couldn't be happening to a better person. I knew from the start that you were gonna do great at this. I pray for nothing but success for you. So proud of you Mel!❤ Your videos are always so encouraging and you always have delicious food. Another great video! I hope you have a wonderful week my sweet friend!🥰❤
🥰🤣 I feel you friend, some days I just want everything done for me 🤣 I've wondered if I would like a cast iron Dutch oven or not, sounds like maybe not 🤔 sorry it's so hard to clean. And thank you so much for your sweet words, I also just loved you as soon as we "met", you are a genuine friend and soul ❤️ And I am so happy and proud for you too, you are awesome! And my mom has all the stuff to make your awesome firecracker red white and blue cake for Labor Day. The 4th of July got away from her 🤣 Love you friend ❤️ have a great week
Sue here: your videos are so homey, comfy, and lovely. Thank you for your content, Mel. Excellent suggestions. The cheeseburger noodle casserole would be so good with pickles on the side too!
Oh wonderful, she is the sweetest lady, so glad that the Lord crossed our paths ❤️ Her seasoning is wonderful and I know you will enjoy her Facebook group. Thank you so much for watching I hope you have a great week 😊
I use the garlic in the jar too. One of m y convenience items. I’m still looking for the frozen onions. I do buy the frozen pearl onion. I peeled my own once. That’s all it took to buy the frozen ones. Lol such a time saver.
These meals are so so delicious,and it's ok to take some help things,just to make it a little faster,and a little easier on yourself too sometimes.wich I have to admit,I do have a problem with that,but I absolutely love these ideas.thank you so much for sharing what you put on your dinner table 😋 have a great day everybody 💚💜💛😊🌹😊
Mel!: If I lived with you I’d need a wheelbarrow to get me away from your table. Gal what you cook up looks so good. I’m trying to watch all your videos even though some are months old, they are new to me. Thanks for all the ideas on quick meal prep. ♥️♥️♥️
It was delicious, it was like hamburger helper but so much better. And I absolutely loved cooking even the pasta in those dishes. Have a great week I'll see ya friend 🥰
Hi Mel, I really enjoyed this video; easy, quick & one pan/pot clean up. If y'all like cherry pie filling, I make a box of brownies & pour half into an eight by eight, put some of the cherry pie filling on top, then pour the remaining batter on top of the cherries and bake them. I put any remaining cherries on our slices & "pig out". They are really, really good. Now I have to try your version with the marshmallows. They looked really good too. Take care & God bless.
Oh honey that sounds amazing! You know we like cherries and they are my mom's favorite. I believe she would love that brownie. 🥰 Thank you for sharing and have a great week
I enjoyed this one a lot Mel I actually save this one so I can show it to my son and my granddaughters about the 30 minute meals. I like the idea about the chicken breasts. My granddaughter's actually came up with one when they were little that you might like for on top of your salads for lunches or dinners. Make yourself nice salad like you do your regular salads but go ahead and bake four or five or six pizza rolls or one of those cheap packages of burritos put your pizza rolls on top or slice up your burritos over the top add a little salsa with your ranch dressing and you've got the girls called them young lady chef salads. With stuff on them they liked. I found I really liked them too one of those little burritos sliced up on there while it was still warm with a little sour cream and a little salsa and a very nice salad was a real nice meal and the girls really liked the little pizza rolls and just stuck them on top of the salad but dressing on top of everything and just ate the whole thing right up.
Oh honey I think that sounds wonderful! I like to throw all kinds of different things on top of salads too. Thank you so much for watching every week and I appreciate you sharing this video. Have a great week 🥰
MY FAVORITE KITCHEN TIP: When I have tomato paste left, I put it in heaping TBS dollops on a little saucer and flash freeze them in the freezer, throw them in a sandwich bag. Anytime you need a tablespoon of tomato paste grab it out of your sandwich bag and just throw it in your pot, it'll melt quickly 😉
That is amazing friend! I'm so glad you shared that 🙀❤️ It is the most simple little tricks that make such a big difference in saving time and money in the kitchen!
Thank you so much for sharing those grilled and glazed frozen chicken breasts from kroger! I also only like the breast meat, so this is a great alternative when i dont have a rotisserie chicken. That salad looked delish!
Hello Momma Mel, thanks so much for your videos!! I always look Forward to them! You have such a sweet personality and I am grateful I get to watch u weekly!! 💜 Jenny from UT
Great family friendly one pot meals. Cooking pasta within same pot does require some practice I'm going try both these hopefully work up that skill set. God Bless
Both of those recipes looked so delicious and I will definitely be making them soon. I love that they are one Pot meals that make clean up so easy. Thank you for another great video and we'll see you soon.

Just starting watching your videos! Just love them ❤!

Hello Neighbor! I had to look up where you were located and found out we live in the same town. this video just showed up on my RUclips feed and I have to tell you I was glad it did. I now have 2 more recipes to try. Thank you for the easy and delicious recipes. Now to explore more of your videos!
Well welcome neighbor 😊 I'm so happy that you're here. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to introduce yourself, I hope you find lots of food and fun here every week. 😊
Thank you for the shout out, my sweet friend!! ❤❤ I am so glad you enjoyed the fajita seasoning. I like knowing what is in my seasonings. Both of the recipes you made look so delicious! I hope you have a wonderful week! ❤❤
When you showed your sink and said your dishwasher is full and the struggle is real, I felt I have to reach out to you and tell you you're not alone in the struggle. I'm in the same boat and I understand. For me it's a vicious cycle. Only reason my sink is clean RN is cuz I just emptied and loaded my dishwasher late last night LOL it feels good to have a clean sink but it won't be for long cuz it's getting late so I need to get up and make somethinmg to eat and dirty a pan or two it was good while it lasted. LOL
Funny the last meal is what we had for dinner, except we had mozzarella sticks with it🙂 I love the hard anodized pans,also. I never thought of getting the grease right out with paper towel. Love the measuring spoon you had. See you next time💚🙂
Mama Mel, I will be making that Chicken Fajita pasta this week...OMG. And thanks for the tip on how to make heavy cream in a pinch...I never thought of that.
I really enjoyed that chicken fajita skillet, I was skeptical because I do so love my fajitas in a flour tortilla. But I was pleasantly surprised and Cathy's seasoning is amazing! And honey we can thank Google for that great heavy cream substitution. Thank you so much for watching every week and being so encouraging. I appreciate you 😊
Thanks so much friend! And Cathy was right about her fajitas seasoning, that dish was great 👍 I appreciate you watching every week and supporting, have a good week, I'll talk to you later 🥰
Google to the rescue, I never seem to have exactly everything I need on hand. And I don't know how that could happen, if you've seen my grocery hauls 😂 Thanks so much for watching have a great week
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤ 💗 very helpful and informative and inspiring 👍 I love ❤ and appreciate all that you do and God bless you 🙏 😊 so much 😊
We always add marshmallows and and pecans to our brownies. It comes out almost like candy. Delicious. I will have to try some of these quick meals. Its too hot to stay in the kitchen long.

Hey Sweet Mel,My husband buys us the pepper & onion blend in the freezer section but i didn't know just onions already chopped were sold alone that way,guess i've been hiding under a rock,(lol) hope you and your family have a blessed night,love ya darlin'
I love 30 minute meals especially one pot meals and these look delicious Mel! You always have the best meals to try out and I’m going to be making these for sure. I like to keep frozen chicken breast like that in my freezer too, they can be used for so many meal options. God bless! 💕
I always look forward to your videos. The hamburger dish you made here is similar to what I threw together tonight for dinner! I'll have to try your version of adding the pasta dry instead of cooking it separate.
Hi Mel. I really enjoyed this video and the meals you made . I got so tickled when you kept forgetting to check the clock😂 That actually proved just how quickly the time went by. Lol. I love quick, easy meals; especially now that I’m getting older. I don’t have the energy to be in the kitchen all day. Thanks for sharing as always 🤗💕
🤣👍🏻 Honey I'm right there with you, I want it quick easy and delicious. And it's just like me to not check the clock - when that's the ENTIRE point of the video 🤣😂
It was really good and I love everything in one pot even the pasta. And if you don't have any mix make some of Cathy's it was great. Thanks for watching have a great day

Wow! So many good ideas in one little video. Thanks!
You are so welcomed ❤️ I'm glad this video helped you out 😊

When you showed your sink and said your dishwasher is full and the struggle is real, I felt I have to reach out to you and tell you you're not alone in the struggle. I'm in the same boat and I understand. For me it's a vicious cycle. Only reason my sink is clean RN is cuz I just emptied and loaded my dishwasher late last night LOL it feels good to have a clean sink but it won't be for long cuz it's getting late so I need to get up and make somethinmg to eat and dirty a pan or two it was good while it lasted. LOL
Thank YOU! I needed to hear this tonight. Dirty dishes mean we've not went hungry, so we can be thankful for that, right 😊🥰
Fantastic 30 min meals mel they look so yummy 😋💕
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate you 😊
Funny the last meal is what we had for dinner, except we had mozzarella sticks with it🙂 I love the hard anodized pans,also. I never thought of getting the grease right out with paper towel. Love the measuring spoon you had. See you next time💚🙂
😉🤣 great minds think alike, and I love that little slidey spoon
Mama Mel, I will be making that Chicken Fajita pasta this week...OMG. And thanks for the tip on how to make heavy cream in a pinch...I never thought of that.
I really enjoyed that chicken fajita skillet, I was skeptical because I do so love my fajitas in a flour tortilla. But I was pleasantly surprised and Cathy's seasoning is amazing! And honey we can thank Google for that great heavy cream substitution. Thank you so much for watching every week and being so encouraging. I appreciate you 😊
😋 yum! Everything looked delicious Mel! Have a great week 😊
Thanks so much friend! And Cathy was right about her fajitas seasoning, that dish was great 👍 I appreciate you watching every week and supporting, have a good week, I'll talk to you later 🥰
Thank you 😊
These all look yummy
I learned something new today! I didn't know you could do that to make heavy cream!
Google to the rescue, I never seem to have exactly everything I need on hand. And I don't know how that could happen, if you've seen my grocery hauls 😂 Thanks so much for watching have a great week

Hi Angel Bertha 😇
@@ericastout4552 Hey Erica!
Thank you great video!
Thank YOU for watching friend
❤ love this!
Thank you so much I am glad that you found this so helpful 😊
I love 30 minute meals especially one pot meals and these look delicious Mel! You always have the best meals to try out and I’m going to be making these for sure. I like to keep frozen chicken breast like that in my freezer too, they can be used for so many meal options. God bless! 💕
I love them too, it's alway good to have some quick and easy favorites in your back pocket. Thanks for watching friend 😊
Great recipes ♥️
I always look forward to your videos. The hamburger dish you made here is similar to what I threw together tonight for dinner! I'll have to try your version of adding the pasta dry instead of cooking it separate.
Oh thanks so much for watching and I loved getting it all done in one 😊
Hi Mel. I really enjoyed this video and the meals you made . I got so tickled when you kept forgetting to check the clock😂 That actually proved just how quickly the time went by. Lol. I love quick, easy meals; especially now that I’m getting older. I don’t have the energy to be in the kitchen all day. Thanks for sharing as always 🤗💕
🤣👍🏻 Honey I'm right there with you, I want it quick easy and delicious. And it's just like me to not check the clock - when that's the ENTIRE point of the video 🤣😂

😂😂💕
Thanks for a great video 💜
😊 thank YOU so much for watching, I'm happy you found it helpful
I think I have some fajita seasoning to use up, I may have to try that chicken fajita pasta because it looks delicious!
It was really good and I love everything in one pot even the pasta. And if you don't have any mix make some of Cathy's it was great. Thanks for watching have a great day
