4 QUICK & HEALTHY Recipes Your Family Will ACTUALLY EAT! Delicious Easy Healthy Meals In Minutes

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Happy Sunday friends, I think it's kinda funny that I'm sharing a little footage from the National Cornbread Festival in this "healthy recipes" video, 🤣 all things in moderation I guess. Thanks so much for spending a little of your day with me. I know I appreciate you so much and pray that you have a blessed week ahead!

Cornbread is healthy. It's got corn in the name. 😂😂

[@marylawman8603]

Well I love cornbread and I don't even care if it's healthy. Lol! It's delicious!! You have a wonderful and blessed week, Mel. 💞

[@KarenJonesFoodFamily]

Hey sweetie, we are going to be in Gatlinburg week of June 9th. Would love to see you. ❤

[@melissab1044]

I love cornbread! 😊 Have a wonderful week!

[@pambeni5635]

I love your videos. Your humour is so infectious. Even if something doesn’t turn out the way it should, you still show it. You never disappoint. Patrick is awesome too. Keep cooking and I’ll be watching!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank YOU so much for watching and your kind words, I appreciate you being here! See you Sunday night 😊

You can Ripen avocados by placing them in a brown paper bag 🙂

[@judykski4916]

I use yellow onions and green bell peppers in my cooking all the time. I have fresh on hand as well as a quart-sized freezer Ziploc bag to store both chopped up onions and green peppers. It's so easy to do and doesn't take up very much space in your freezer. Give it a try.

[@tammytanner3663]

Happy Anniversary to you both. My husband and I have been married for 35 year and that is more than half my life also. It is so amazing how that works out. I tell you that we cook a like.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Congratulations to you two, too! That's wonderful!

[@kippaseo8027]

That could be a good video idea there Ms Mama Mel. You could do a week's worth of 1 PM cast iron skillet recipes 🍳! I would definitely watch that and I'd even take some notes

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thanks, that's a great idea!

[@jenniferphillips6563]

That incline railway is no joke! The way up was so scary to my daughter she almost passed out! I think the other passengers were pretty freaked out too because when it slowed down at the top of the mountain, you could’ve heard a pin drop. The view was so beautiful though!

[@chrislear6676]

Scared me!

[@marcellareese8853]

I wish I had the gift you have to make a meal out of little bits of this and that. My mom was always able to do that too, I didn't get that gifting from her sadly. Happy anniversary to you and Patrick.

[@msjfab1966]

I feel the same about turkey bacon. But what I do is chop it up they also have turkey sausage. In Michigan we have Kroger's and they sale Turkey Sausage. So this is my recipe 1/2 Cup Turkey Sausage and 2 or 3 pieces of Turkey Bacon Chopped and Mushrooms and Onions and Cheddar Cheese and Salt and Pepper to taste. And about 6 eggs and add a little milk probably 2 Tablespoons. It should feed 2 or 3 people. Or any veggies you like.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Sounds great! I am just going to have to try to PUSH through this turkey bacon issue!

[@msjfab1966]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel I also forgot sometimes I add shredded Hash browns in the scramble to.

Sounds delicious 😋

[@pamking8137]

I totally agree with you! It’s like a game to see what I can come up with by going through my fridge and freezer! Thanks for the jar opener link! My husband has issues with his hands so I can’t depend on him to help me open jars! Love these healthy ideas!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

It's my favorite game LOL and that jar opener has been a game changer for me and my mom, mom in law and aunties LOL I'm so glad that it's going to be a help to you, too!

[@RuralRouteGirl]

Happy Anniversary!! I’m going to have to look for those skillets. I always have to get my husband to lift mine for me 😂

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I feel that! Lodge Blacklock is all I will buy from now on!

[@evamendenhall6126]

Avacodos start to ripe as soon as they fall off the tree, I love them. Great recipes. Easy too. Happy Anniversary 🎉

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Happy Anniversary again to my favorite KZbin Aunt and Uncle. Lol. That second recipe reminds me of quiche without the crust.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thanks so much, and I just found out the difference between quiche and frittatas is that quiche has a crust and the frittata doesn't.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel you're welcome, Aunt Mel. Both are delicious.

Hey Mel,The Chicken Club Lettuce Wraps look delicious,i love lettuce instead of bread but i do love sourdough bread,i just can't eat spinach,it looks like a weed,lol!

Tennessee is the most beautiful place. If you ever get the chance come visit fall creek falls State Park in van Buren Tennessee.

[@CathyHendrix1]

Happy Anniversary to you and Patrick!! Everything looked good, except for the avocado and egg white. I think avocados taste like egg white, and that is one thing I have never been able to eat. Not even a tiny bite. Don't you just love a festival? That looked like a good one. Hope ya'll have a great week ahead and God bless!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

LOL, Patrick is not a big fan of the egg whites either, but I've been sneaking them into his scrambled eggs lately. Makes them go a bit farther without eating 3 whole eggs. And the festival was wonderful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@debrahape9706]

Hey mel! I can't do Turkey bacon, but I love Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage! 💕

Hi Mel!!There's something about the warmer weather that makes me want lighter, more healthy meals. These are perfect. The lettuce wraps look so good! I've never made a frittata but I do make quiche, which I love, but boy your frittata looks so yummy. The chicken and tortellini looks so pretty with the colorful veggies. I'm a mexican food lover too. All of the mexican recipes that you've shared that I have tried have been delicious. Looking forward to trying this one. Thank you, as always, Mel, for all that you do. You're much appreciated. I would love to go to the cornbread festival!! What a fun time and after seeing those hushpuppies, I want some so bad!! Happy Anniversary to you and Patrick!! 🎉 Hope you have a blessed week. ❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]
