    Okay, I got distracted reading the comments and had to back up and watch this over again. I love you, your videos are on the top of my list. I wish I had RUclips in 1960 when I got married, didn't know how to cook, and married a man who wouldn't have been happy with anything anyway. I learned, and then married a man who loved to cook. He would have been ecstatic watching your videos.

    I love that you say you can never go back to store bought salsa! My husband makes ours and MAN is that the truth. He does our Ninja blender and all. Now I am going to request it from him. BRB 🤣

    Hi Mandy. You and your husband are an adorable couple and your videos are so fun to watch.
    I am praying for you all and have experienced tragic loss this year in January. My 23 year old daughter died tragically and unexpectedly. In a brief moment, my best friend and beautiful daughter was gone. Because it was a murder, I wasn’t even able to see her until the funeral 5 days later. My heart is ever so broken. Without Jesus, there would be no hope. But sure as He LIVES, I can face tomorrow! 🙏
    Be blessed Mandy… God is so good and He sees us through the saddest moments on this side of heaven. He is forever faithful and TRUE! ❤
    Keep swimming and keep making your cute videos. I truly love them all.
    RIP Victoria and Gracie💗💗💗

    Gracie Lou messaged me, since I'm the mom of 9 cats, and asked me to tell you that everything needs cheese but, if you disagree that's okay but you really should keep some cheese out every meal to give her. She said she's always a good girl and even accepted Gideon without a fight, so she thinks the least you can do is give her cheese every supper. (I tried Gracie, hope they listen!)

    • @cindym7234

    I love watching your recipes. I do recommend making your own broths with chicken bones. I make a lot with veggies scraps. You can with those spinach stems & other scraps you have it’s great then cool & use those scraps & put into your garden or yard where you are going to start planting soon to start fertilizing.

    @bindismom9468 Год назад +1

    Hey Mandy, love your channel. I have cooked several of your dishes 😋. October 2023
    The taco stuffed peppers were excellent, instead of softening the peppers in the microwave, i blistered them on the grill ( you could do the same under the broiler). I also used red,yellow and orange peppers instead, because my husband doesn't care for the green ones. It gave this dish even more flavor❤
    Thanks for helping with dinner menu's, my brain is tired of coming up with ideas 😂😂😂

    For years. My older dad and I watch your videos together all the time and it’s encourages him to start cooking! Just made the pad Thai and it was delicious! I made almost an identical salsa to stevens except I roast the tomatoes onions and jalapeños in the oven first. It makes the flavor even deeper and amazing.

    @susanandreas-bervel1966 Год назад +1

    I love all three of these recipes and have made them several times! When I made Marvette's Chicken last week, I followed the directions up to the addition of the French fried onions. When I took it out of the oven, I pulled the chicken from the bottom of the skillet, and placed it on top of the green beans. I added a half slice of Provolone cheese on top of each thigh before adding the French fried onions. We liked the addition of the cheese and it plated up nicely too. I may try Gruyere to give it more of that French Onion vibe (but definitely more expensive.) My husband said it was good enough to serve to company! Thank you for finding such great recipes to share each week! I look forward to your video every Friday 🙂

    Oh gosh these delicious dishes are so wonderful and I really need to make all of them. I am also half Japanese so I do cook a lot of asian dishes, and my number one favorite would be the Pad Thai, and then the second would be the stuffed bell peppers and the last one is Marvette's chicken. Thank you so much Mandy for some more incredible recipes and seeing how much Steven loves all of the food you cook is so wonderful. Have a beautiful and blessed rest of your day and the weekend coming up. Sending love and hugs, bye! 😋🤗 😻👏🥢🥢💜💜💜

    I love my Kitchen Mama can opener. Did you know…?after you tap the button to turn it off, grip the opener from the middle to bottom and pull down, your lid will come off because of the magnet underneath. That way we don’t mess up our pretty manicures removing the lid. Looking forward to making Steven’s salsa. Gracie Lou is adorable and always needs her cheese!

    Fun fact all peppers are coloured. If they are green it only means that they were picked before ripe and since they do not ripen off the vine they stay green this is for bell peppers and jalapenos for sure. So a red jalapeno just means it ripened on the plant does not effect the heat lever what so ever

      I totally agree! What I love about Mandy's recipes is the fact that they are made with, for the most part, common and accessible ingredients. I am sure that she has a huge following of younger people that are newer cooks or just learning to cook. But, even for an old gal like me (71) I pick up a new idea every now and again.

    I have made marvette's chicken since you debuted it and last week i got my mom to make it. She loved it. I make my own salsa as well, but not wiht olive oil, ill have to try that one! We also dont use water with our taco meat or any filling, i use Salsa only as it gives more flavor. I have to tell you, i have 2 cats, Anna and Bella and the min they hear your voice on my computer, they come running until they see Gracie on the screen then try and nuzzle the screen, They love her as much as T and i do. Uf you add a can of beans into the zucchini and corn and you have succatash! I cant have zucchini cause im allergic but i make it for my kiddos. All 3 of the recipes are awesome, but my absolute favorite is the pad thai. I love flavor and that one packs a punch!
