I made my own version of your sweet potato black bean chili after church today, along with my own cornbread recipe baked in cast iron. It was awesome. I don't know why some people only like sweet potatoes baked with brown sugar and (barf) marshmallows. They're so good used as savory. I like sweet potato fries better than regular potatoes. In fact, I'm allergic to the nightshade related potatoes. Sweet potato is from the liliacee (spelling bad, sorry.) family rather than the nightshade family and so I often use sweet potato in (almost) any potato recipe. My favorite way is to buy long, slim tubers, and slice them thickly into rounds, place in a buttered baking pan with a little salt and pepper and a dollop of butter on the top of each round. Bake in the oven and turn them over into the melted butter about halfway through baking. Bake in hot oven till tender. So sweet, no sugar needed.
Lol got to have the Cornbread and goodness gracious goodness gracious good God let's eat 😋 and thank you so much for sharing this and for all you do and God bless you 🙏 😊
Ahhh, Snow days are coming, friend! Nothing beats a cozy soup on a cold winter's day! I am a fall/winter girl, no doubt about it! Great recipes, wonderful collab! ❤
Oh you just must tell me how you get your Jiffy cornbread to rise and look beautiful like you did! 🙌 Mine never looked that good. These soups both look fabulous and I'm going to try them for sure. Especially the sweet potato chili I would have never thought of that. I am enjoying your recipes so much and I have to say that I really enjoyed the one with your parents and your Dad making his special recipe cornbread a while back, I meant to comment but I didn't but I wanted to mention it here.💙 It was so special and I just loved it so much and it really touched my heart. I no longer have my parents with me and I miss them both, your video just really made me smile. God bless! 💕💕🥰
Hello Mama Mel, Happy Fall to ya'll as well. The soups looks delicious. I like the soups & stews with sweet potatoes in them too. Ya'll be blessed and enjoy ya'lls weekend. Love from Lula Mae & Family. 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Both of these looked so delicious and I will definitely be making them. You cracked me up when you said "My Husband will hate this" and apparently he did hate it. So funny. I really enjoyed seeing your Mom. Thank you for another great video and we'll see you next time.
GREAT JOB MELONIE!! Thank you for all your great recipes. You're awesome and all your dishes aren't too hard for me to achieve. Music and all! Bravo friend! Cathy
Thank you so much, I really enjoy the "artistic" parts of putting videos together. I also love the music, it takes me alot of time listening to and picking songs out. So I worry that I wear them out for a while them I will search for another 5 or 6 that kinda go together and set the calm relaxing mood I like. Thank you for appreciating this, it means a lot to me. It's just the little things like this that I think really add something special to a video.
I love sweet potato pretty much any way I can get it, that sweet potato chili looks so good (and it does look like it would pair well with corn bread)!
I made the Dixie Stampede Vegetable Chowder for dinner tonight. I felt like it needed a little extra flavor, so I added some bacon. I mean, bacon is good in anything, right? It was a total game changer for me! I realize that defeats the point of it being vegetables only, but man is it good! 😊
Hey Mel,Happy Fall,I had my husband marinate chicken breasts in italian dressing then he put cream of chicken mixed with milk on top,put in air fryer,best chicken i've had in years,i told him he outdid kfc and i made his day,have a blessed day!
I just found your videos and have been really enjoying them! 😁👍 Can't wait to try the soup recipes, they look great for fall. My hubby likes meat in his soup 🍲 too so thinking of adding roasted shredded Costco chicken to the veg soup. Yum!!! Thanks!!😊
Welcome and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and introduce yourself. I am so glad you're here. 🥰 I think that chicken would be a great addition to that soup too. Sometimes we just have to make what we like don't we 😂 Happy fall and thanks again for watching I look forward to seeing you in the comments
Hi Momma Mel👋👋👋 Your soups look amazing, that chili sounds so good, I’ve got to try it and the veggie soup too. TYFS, I hope you have a blessed weekend, take good care my friend♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Mel, I can't believe you made my favorite Dixie Stampede soup! Def gonna make that one. I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for my biscuit cutter, and please thank your sweet dad for me, too! My husband immediately said "Now you can make biscuits tonight and try it out." So that is what I did, and I couldn't BELIEVE how well it worked!" Thanks again so much.
Hey, Mel 🌻🍁💖. I am loving this collab!!! I never had this kind of chili! Not sure about this no meat thing 😱😂🤣. I agree about the tomato paste! Well, I like everything in it, so it should be good 👍. Hey 👋 sweet mama 💞. I think I will try this! You convinced me 🥰. I have never been to Dixie Stampede. I should do that! The creamy veggie soup looks yummy! Thank you so much for sharing sweetie pie ❤️
Hey Aunt Mel. Hope you're doing well this lovely first day of Fall. Both soups look and sound amazing. Adding them to my meal plan right now. Don't think I've ever tried them.
Welcome I am so happy that you're here too!! 🥰 Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, I hope you find lots of good things here on my channel to enjoy. I look forward to learning more about you in the comments.
The soup with sweet potatoes in it was beautiful…did your husband eat it? I never use black beans I will have to give it a try. Jiffy mix factory is just the next town over from me… never been inside but passed it many times.
Welcome and thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I am so glad you're here 🥰 and fall is my very favorite too❤️🍂🍁😊. I hope you find lots of food and fun here and I'll look forward to hearing from you in the comments.
Both soups look so good and I really got a kick out of you putting it out there that you liked it, but your family , not so much. I have recipes like that too.
Yes friend, sometimes we just have to make something for ourself 😂🤣 we do everyone else's favorites why not ours every now and again 😉 Thanks so much for watching 😊
When you said “my husband will hate this.” I almost spit out my water! ❤️
Haha. Sounds like my dad lol

Yes ❤️ I'm ready for it too!
Nice to see you again. These soups look wonderful.
Thank you Mel.
Great to see you too 😊 I loved them both so much and hope you do too 🍁🍂😊
Great soups, Mel! Unrelated - I always appreciate your music selections on your videos - they are always so soothing.

Looks delicious. Will try the chili soon. Blessings
I am going to try the chili. It looks lovely. Thanks for sharing. I love your channel. Take care and be safe. 💖
Ground Turkey goes great in the sweet potato chili.
I need to give the ground meats other than beef a try 🤔
Thank you for sharing these!
The sweet potato stew would be good with some ground turkey in it.
Great soups my friend. 🥰🧡
🍂🍁🧡Happy Fall Mel!! 🍁🍂
Looks yummy, I'm going to try to make some this weekend.
Time for momma Mel love this ❤
Hey friend, little change up today ❤️ glad you like it!
Hey hey my sweet and wonderful friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Hey girl 🥰 Happy fall! 🍁🍂😊
Thank You, Mel for sharing soup recipes that are “out of the Box!” I definitely going to be making both!
Thank YOU for watching, it's nice to make something a little different every now and again.
I love sweet potato pretty much any way I can get it, that sweet potato chili looks so good (and it does look like it would pair well with corn bread)!

These look really good. That chili woukd be good with pork stew meat too. ❤️
Hi Mel! Happy Fall! It is great to see you today. I can not wait to try these recipes. I will have to wait a few weeks. It is 90 degrees here today.
It's hot here today too but supposedly it's gonna be colder the next few days 🥰🍂🍁
I love sweet potatoes any kinda way 😅 my favorite is probably chopped and roasted, dusted with chili powder and a dash of nutmeg 😋
Yum 😋
These might be good for meal planning. Could be interesting to make a pot of one on Sunday and then reheat for lunch during the week.
Veggie soup looks yummy 😊
Wow these looked delicious
In that creamy veggie soup, add like 1/2 pd of American cheese. I make something like this! I call it duchess soup. Delish!
Yum 😋
I have been enjoying your video’s so much! I was fortunate you showed up in my feed!!

The soup with sweet potatoes in it was beautiful…did your husband eat it? I never use black beans I will have to give it a try. Jiffy mix factory is just the next town over from me… never been inside but passed it many times.
Of course he didn't 🤣😂 but I knew he wouldn't, that was a treat for me ❤️🥰😂 I love Jiffy mix! I would be over there asking for a tour 🤣 and samples 😉
Awesome recipes, thanks
Thank YOU for watching 🍂🍁😊
The soups both look delicious & made me hungry for some! Have you tried cheeseburger soup? It's really good too.
I've had it and love it, but I've never made it
Yummy
I'm so glad you liked these 😊🍁🍂
Could you taste the coffee in the sweet potato soup?
Nah, I didn't taste it. I think the purpose of the coffee must have been to enhance the flavor of the spices 🤔
I cracked up when you said your husband would hate it. Mine would too. But I’d like it!
Yes and we cook everyone's favorites so every now and again we should make ours too 🤣😊🥰
Looks yummy
Thanks friend 😊🍁🍂
Yummy

What did Patrick think of your chili?
👍💯😋
I think that frozen mixed veggies would be better
Hjjjj

For those of us with hearing difficulties, it would be nice to leave out the background music.
So sorry 😞
You can turn on closed captioning to help with that. It’s what I do for a lot of channels.
I turn on closed captioning it helps :)
White pepper doesn't taste as good as black pepper .
Well glad I didn't miss out then 🤣 I don't think I've ever had white pepper 😅
@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel white pepper has a funky taste - the only thing I found use of it in is "tuna noodle caserole"
it is not worth the price - that is my opinion, it actually has no pepper taste to it at all.
cool
