Can we take a minute and appreciate all the hard work Mandy puts into her videos?! I'm truly grateful for her and her channel.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Alma!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@@MandyintheMaking you're welcome, sweet friend. Hope y'all are doing well this lovely afternoon.

[@lisahoward1969]

I really appreciate all of Mandy's hard work too❤

[@pamelaking9715]

I agree she does. I enjoy she and her family. I love Gracie Lou ❤❤

[@PellyjellyMom]

Thanks, Mandy. You give us so many easy and affordable meals. You create all the meals that we all wish we could plan out and make meal time easy and fun to watch. And, hello to Mrs Alma, hope you are all feeling better in your home!

[@Kymom776]

Your boy saying thank you so much made my heart smile! My dad always taught us kids to thank mom for dinner such a sweet thing! Now my hubby and kiddos do the same makes a momma feel appreciated!!

[@cindy2252]

When my son was about 3 or 4 years old, I asked him if he wanted mac and cheese for dinner. He said no, I want "turtle weenies". It took me a while but I finally figured out he was requesting tortellini. lol We missed you Mandy. ❤

[@lorribondurant9217]

That’s hilarious 😆

[@sandys1445]

Keep that little gem and remember to tell him that when he's older, if you haven't already. My cousin drove my aunt nuts when he said he wanted a beep beer poppa wheel. It turned out he wanted a root beer popsicle. They are truly gems!

[@lorie4913]

They now will be forever known as turtle weenies. 🐢

[@user-vs2cd3jk3i]

When my son was in kindergarten, the teacher sent a note home asking me if my son‘s middle name is oyster? when he got home from school, I asked him what’s your middle name? He says Danny oyster, I said no your middle name isn’t oyster your middle name is Royston. It’s a family name.😅

[@deborah2302]

Oh please keep telling that so cute story!!

[@lostribe5130]

I like that you cubed the chicken instead of shredding it.

[@nicolewagner25]

I absolutely love your husband's reaction to your cooking, it's so sweet ❤

[@lisahoward1969]

Sometimes I peel my cucumbers but usually I don't. That chicken caesar salad wrap looks so refreshing on those spinach tortillas. My husband and I will be enjoying them soon.

[@donnaroberts1418]

I just finished watching your friend come to your home and help decorate your living room. I love the way it turned out! And now the icing on the cake was this video showed up right after I watched that one. Now I'm starving, so I think I'll go and make a salad LOL. I adore you all, and enjoy watching your family together.

[@lucyphenicie5236]

Usually peel cucumbers, sometimes l think makes less bitter. Things are so cooling in your wraps and other recipes. Better for these recipes with the hot days.❤ thank u for trying all these things for us. Hope it was a great time off.

[@thethriftybaker3]

Yep, the hubs and I are just sitting here watching the creamy greek pasta salad recipe and when you told Ziggy to remove the grilled chicken from your shopping list, MY Ziggy added it to mine! My husband and I both burst out laughing at that one! Great recipes as always! Can't wait to try all of them!!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha, oops!!! 🤭

[@lisahoward1969]

Mandy, I'm glad you enjoyed your week off..you deserved it. But I must say you were missed 🤗

[@earldouglas3631]

I can't wait to see Gracie Lou in every video. She is always the star of the show.

[@bonniepwtf]

😂😂😂😂 Oh Mandy, I was eating a bologna & cheese sandwich while I watched this. I burst out laughing at your comment at the end! Guilty as charged😁

[@michellehorning2216]

Thank you for these great lunch ideas; I think I am going to especially enjoy the pasta salad best as I really enjoy tortellini. My hubby will adore the wrap. We both enjoy egg salad, so it's a 3 for 3 this week! Hoping you enjoyed a bit of your time off and did something nice for yourself. You work hard, dear Mandy and we appreciate you! Have a great week! ❤😊

[@user-nz5qi5ns3w]

Mandy you are a marvelous cook. I do not comment very much but lately you have killed the simple and delicious lunches. I have made so many of your recipes. Thank you 👍 sweet lady for your great recipes. We live in West Texas and it has been in the 100’s plus. God bless. 🥰👍🇱🇷

In Greek, according to my Greek friend it is pronounced "sud-zee-kee". Whatever way it is prnounced it tastes fabulous! Your homemade one was terrific in my estimation. We enjoy the way you eat.

[@suewolf3279]

Yep, I can't stand the peel of a cucumber, so I peel my regular cucumbers. However, if I am making some Mediterranean dishes with cucumbers, I will use an English cucumber, and then I don't peel it

[@lisadrake6165]

Favorite "easy go to" lunch? A tomato sandwich!🥰😋

You can use a ceaser salad kit to make the process even quicker. I've used the kits to make all kinds of wraps/sandwiches

[@cherylscheller4278]

Easy and tasty looking..you guys are great in the kitchen...Tink!

[@lindabuckner4566]

I was so looking forward to seeing your face on my you tube list today. Really missed you last week - but you do deserve a vacation - sorry you had to work during you "time off". Love your recipes.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Tink to you, too! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊

[@nicolecourtney8688]

The "ceasaryness" comes from the anchovies in the dressing!

[@dorothyminor7581]

I didn’t know that! Thank you!

[@user-wb8vj9xc3n]

This is so true. No one talks about it.

[@melindacooper664]

When I want a wrap with Romaine lettuce, I use my Romaine like a vessel for the meats/cheeses, etc..I don't cut it up. And then I wrap it up.

[@virginiasimer4171]

You are correct about Caesar flavor. Sometimes it overwhelms the dish. Just dress it, don’t drown it. I also, peel my cucumbers but not always. It depends on the type and the thickness of the peel or what it is going in. You said tzatziki correctly the first time tah-ziti. Thank you again for your efforts. Love n hugs to you all.

[@stephanie2]

Welcome back. The recipes looks delicious. The look on your face when your Echo started talking ❤️🥰😂

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol, she just decided she wanted to be part of the video. She needed her moment 😂

Mandy, thank you so much for sharing your kitchen with us! The Caesar chicken salad wraps look wonderful! I'm making that for dinner tonight! Can't wait! Thanks again! You are so sweet! 💜

I love how you have a Gracie Lou that stands at your feet while you're cooking and eating. I have a chiuaua named Libbie Lou that does the same thing. I get so tickled watching y'all with your furr baby. I missed her little meow in the video. Im going to have to try these recipes. They look so yummy.

[@lauraspicks7114]

Hi Mandy ! I slice off the outer part of a cucumber, always have since I was a little girl, never liked the outer part.Pasta salad with chicken in it, extra mayo on my plate of salad.I like the combination very much . Hope you're all having a fantastic summer there. Y'all have great night !

[@jenniherr80]

Totally agree about the overdoing the Caesar flavor

[@Daisyj925]

OooOOO. Lawdy! Daaaang girl that chicken Caesar wrap looks so freaking good. I swear for a hot minute i thought I could smell it! Will put it on the list for lunch… or even a light dinner! Thanks so much!

[@deniseclark-zo2io]

Love the idea of the avocado and egg recipe! Can't wait to try! Always, thank you girl!

[@pamelaking9715]

You're right sometimes Caesar things can be too "Caesarey" 😂

[@tanyawood275]

Thank you for sharing these recipes with us, they all look amazing!! It depends on what I am making if I peel my cucumber or not. I use the wrapped European ones and if I don't use it all I just wrap and put back in fridge. Sometimes just for the look I will take a peeler and go down the cucumber on four sides....that gives you a little of the dark green and light green color!

[@carriedecker1716]

I absolutely love to watch your videos. You guys are so genuine. Gracie Lou is a hoot. I also have 3 cats (Cubbie, Snuggles & Cleo) who are also cheese lovers. Thanks for all the recipe inspiration. You guys rock ❤

[@paulamcleod1227]

I do not peel english cucumbers, which is what I prefer. But if I buy regular cucumbers, I ribbon peel them, so you get some peel, but it's variegated. Great ideas for lunch! Thanks!

[@delandbrooks3291]

One of my favorite Go-To summer meals is stuffed tomato or Cucumber. I usually stuff with Tuna or chicken salad, I semi-peel stripes into the Cuke to lessen the peel then use a spoon to deseed it. I' use a knife and cut the top off the tomato and slice around inside then scoop most of the pulp out. Either is a quick summer meal and the salad can be made for a meal and then used to stuff. I think I'll take the hint and top with croutons or French fried onions for some crunch.

[@pearlr.311]

Try warming up the wrap (tortilla) on a griddle. It’ll get toasty and taste so much better. Great videos Mandy! Thank you for all you do.

[@shannonmcmullen3916]

Mandy filling the wrap....lol!!!!! :) Steven you can't say that she doesn't listen to you!!! Love y'all!!!

[@maryjotesauro9295]

I peel a store bought cucumber because they tend to be waxy. I do not peel a garden fresh cucumber because they are not waxy.

[@krisheathman9053]

Hi Mandy❣️ First let me tell you how much I enjoyed your living room refresh with Tabby. The result was absolutely stunning. Inviting, cozy and homey. I love it❣️. Switching gears here, when it comes to cucumbers, I feel like I only peel the regular ones. The English cucumbers 🥒 I leave the skin on. Now that I think about it, there’s really no rhyme or reason to that. I guess it’s because that’s how I’ve always done it 😂 Great video today too. Can’t wait to give these cool summer eats a try. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@coldcountess]

Tortellini is the one type of pasta I never cared for !! I love cucumbers, sometimes I peel, but not usually !!

[@karenlyons3790]

Welcome back... Seasoning at Ace Hardware wow would have never even thought.... You so deserved a break even though you taped but I hope you had some great free time.... I love a good pasta salad... The chicken salad tacos's (lol) looked marvelous... Mmm my favorite egg salad my momma made it all the time it's so good... Unfortunately I'm not an avocado fan it's a texture thing... They all look good definitely do chicken salad and pasta salad .. love y'all.. missed everyone and God bless... 🙏🥰🥰

[@toyairy7612]

i had this on while i was sleeping and for some reason thought a tortellini salad greekish style and thats what we are having tonightt. that dressing is a process but easy, just needs to rest twice before its done. we added 50-60 sized shrimp...because its a no meat day. also cleaned out our veggie drawer so lots of different veggies.

[@FaithR70068]

YES! I always peel my cucumbers and dill pickles.

[@PegAMurphy]

they all look delicious 🍽.... I'd call the second one a Mediterranean style chicken caesar salad 🤷‍♀️ I'm gonna have to fix that for a cold dinner one night 💖 and all of em throughout the summer

[@Jaydit7]

Me, again...I mad the avocado egg salad (with dill and parsley) this morning.....Oh, mama, that's good! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

[@beckysmith1178]

If you know how the cucumber was grown. No pesticide used while growing, then I feel that you could opt to keep the peel.

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Hi you guys!! Love these recipes for a hot day!! We have been on the road traveling since June 1st. In Montana now, and it's hot!! In the 100's by the end of this week. I have the items to make the Caesar wraps for dinner tonight!! Thanks for the great ideas. Hubby will love the egg salad too!! 💜

Yummy and as always you left me hungry 😂😂 Hi Gracie ❤️ ❤

[@bwebgirl]

Hi Mandy - thanks for all of the great content you share! Love the critiques from the fam!! You asked, "do you peel your cucumbers?" My answer is I stripe them when I'm slicing them for a veggie tray, but for any other purpose, I leave the skins on.

[@dianeguy7452]

Yes I agree sometimes things can definitely be too Cesar I heard you talking we make our own version but we do thin chicken cutlets, seasoned to a fault on the grill and then we just do the wrap, the Romain lettuce, the dressing, croutons, and grated Parm. We probably have a twice a week it’s our favorite thing

[@buffy0214]

I was just mentioning wanting Caesar wraps to my husband yesterday. I always use Greek dressing for my Greek tortellini pasta salad instead of tzatziki. I also don’t peel cucumbers. I might peel stripes on them if I’m feeling fancy.

[@ShawhanFarms]

Great video! These recipes are perfect for the scorching summer!

[@sydneykasmar]

Tzatziki is made from yogurt and mayo is thick too. I'd mix in a small amount of milk to the Tzatkiki before putting it on the pasta for a thinner sauce or simply add some of the pasta water to it. I'm definitely making that salad. Thanks for the recipe.

[@katigrace25]

I don’t ever peel a cucumber, but I also don’t use traditional cucumbers ever anymore! I always opt for English or Persian cucumbers. I think those varieties are a lot more yummy than a traditional cucumber.

Like you, it depends on what I am making and if I am just making it for myself or others. Normally I keep the cucumber skin on. If I make pasta salad with it, I will peel.
