Hi Mel! I hope you had a nice weekend. The salisbury steak meatballs sound delicious. And the fact it's such a quick and easy recipe makes it even better. Nothing like cooking over charcoal. I know those steaks and chicken were so good. I haven't made stuffed shell in a long time. I was recently going through my recipe box and came across a recipe I had forgotten. It's jumbo shells stuffed with a mixture of shredded chicken and prepared stove top stuffing, topped with cheese and baked. They were delicious and I'm so glad I rediscovered the recipe. Your crock pot stuffed shells look so yummy. Crack chicken is the best. Love your idea of putting over baked potatoes! My mouth is watering. I'm a huge potato lover. I need to make the key lime cake for my sis. She loves anything key lime. So do i. Thanks as always, Mel for all you do and all of your hard work. And thank you for always inspiring me and making me excited to try your delicious recipes. I hope you and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. 💖

The Salisbury steak meatballs were delicious and easy and a real family pleaser! I was able to get them started and leave to go out for the day and everyone could help themselves when the meal was finished (timer on crockpot moved to warm after 6 hours) and it was convenient for them. I made buttered noodles before I left and out them in a big bowl in the fridge along with some veggies. Perfect! Looking forward to the crack chicken!

Every once in a while, on rare occasions, Mom would make us a chocolate cake with white sauce. When she took the chocolate cake out of the oven to cool, she would start the white sauce. For the white sauce she used her chocolate pie filling recipe. She would leave out the chocolate, and add extra vanilla, then thin down the 'pudding/filling' into a runny sauce. Then, while the chocolate cake was still hot, she would cut it up and put slices on our plates/bowls, and pour some white sauce over the chocolate cake. Yum. It was so good.

How well do you like your Ninja slow cooker/multi use cooker. It looks really cool!!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I love it! My favorite feature is that I can cook or brown meat in it before slow cooking - all in one dish! I also love just using it like an electric skillet, I forgot that I filmed footage of me frying hamburgers in it back when I first got it. I wanted to show everyone how well that worked and the clean up was EASY - the high sides kept grease from getting everywhere! The only draw back is that it is really big to store, and if you have a big family to cook for it's probably not a drawback because it's 8.5 quarts. Hope this helps you out, and thanks so much for watching!

That was so hilarious, when you were taking the middle piece out I was thinking just that; how the heck did she get that out!

Definitely going to bake that cake

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Do it friend, you will be so happy you did - I loved that it wasn't quite as tart as key lime pie - just light and refreshing!

These all look so wonderful!

Thanks, hope you enjoy them 😊

Totally random question - what lipstick/lipgloss are you wearing while you are talking about Good Chop? It looks great on you!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you so much, it's by NYX and I wear any cheap clear gloss with it. It's linked here in my Amazon store front in the section called "Taking Care of Me" www.amazon.com/shop/inthekitchenwithmommamel

I am making this tonight. It looks absolutely delish! I am confused about one thing. Do I add whipping cream to cake and how much? I know that I need 3/4 cup for the filling but was not sure of what amount I should add to the cake. Can hardly wait to devour it! P.S. Baby Nathan is doing good.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I am so happy to hear that Nathan is doing good, it's funny he crossed my mind while I was fixing my hair today and I made a mental note to message you - that's a God wink! And the whipping cream gets mixed into the sweetened condensed milk filing that your pour over the cake, you just make the cake like regular. And I took a short cut and just used Cool Whip for the "icing" you can for sure make homemade whipped topping if you want to. I hope this wasn't too late to help you out. Thanks so much for the update and for watching and here's the link to the recipe, too inthekitchenwithmommamel.com/recipes/key-lime-poke-cake/

I started giggling when you said you were about to lose your religion trying to get your pharmacy needs taken care of……boy, could I relate! I helped my elderly brother with a new and very expensive medication he needed to start taking, it only presently comes through mail order as it’s a very new medication….oh my gosh, I think it took me four days and around ten phone calls getting it all straightened out. If we ever get to meet one another and I have completely gray hair, that’s why! LOL. Love all the recipes today, love watching your videos!!!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

🤣 I might have all mine pulled out! I also help my in-laws keep up with their medications too 🤣 I fill ALOT of those little prescription boxes for folks, I try to do a month at a time. I just have to go into a room alone without distractions and work on them, it's alot 🤣 So far I don't need any daily meds but Patrick has some and he keeps up with his but just the changing of the insurance and mail-order pharmacy companies was brutal 🤣

[@dorothydecesare1607]

I did laugh out loud when said you were about to lose your religion! Sometimes dealing with bureaucracy can try your nerves to a frazzle! Love your slow cooker recipes! 🥰🙏🍔🥓🥔❤

[@amyandtony]

Did you say something about Goodwill? Girl! Thrifting is my favorite pastime. lol 😂 I gained 3 pounds this week 😭 That wagon done left me stranded lol you said to guess what you were making and I blurted out chicken crack lol 😂 that is one nice looking tater. I had no idea you could make heavy cream that way but makes total sense. I can eat sweetened condensed milk straight from the can. Probably why I’m a big girl lol I have to try that cake!! Have a blessed week!!!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

LOL Yes you were right, it's been a LONG time and it hit the spot perfectly! And I'm right there with you with sweetened condensed milk YUM And honey hang in there I think the hot weather is making us swell and retain our pounds LOL

[@amyandtony]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel oh whew. I thought it was the ice cream lol 😂 if you ever make it over the mountain to Bryson City we have got to grab lunch.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

If you dont like ricotta cheese can you use cream cheese instead
