[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for my hubby and I. He had his Pulmonary specialist appointment last week and found out he might be able to come off the oxygen after his hernia surgery. We ask you to please continue to pray for us. God Bless.

I love recipes that don't use a bunch of ingredients. Thank you!

Can’t wait for the Walmart story😊🎉❤🎉

[@rebeccamorgan5387]

Steve cracks me up!! The look on your face about his reporting was hilarious!!!

[@loriisaacs6196]

Hey Mandy!! The easiest way for me to use parchment paper is to roll it in a ball, then press it out again with your hands, it makes it manageable for sure! Steven is a great Common Tater Love the shirt🤣 My hubby had a TShirt the same color, but it represented the Hostess Cupcake Swirl on it, cause that was his nick name at work(Cupcake)I packed him a cake cake everyday in his lunchbox so it stuck🤣 The guys also had a cup cake ornament made for him one Christmas😀😀 Great Video❤️❤️

[@joanfels6641]

Bet that Oreo fudge would be less sweet and rich with a half block of cream cheese in it! Lol

[@JanMGB]

Your tip works great!

[@cathynations7169]

Best hack ever! I always do this now! 🙂

I love that you two have a wonderful sense of humor! Watching you two interact here made me feel almost like I was in your kitchen, spending fun time with friends.😃

[@ritasmoot1823]

Watching with my3 month old puppy asleep on my lap and Steven was reading Ann’s comment. When he said Ann’s cat’s name, Oliver, he raised his head up. I was so proud! You see, when I got him at 12 weeks old, his name was Hugo. I thought he looked like an Oliver!! HE KNOWS HIS NAME!!! Thank you for sharing your videos with us! Love the way you all interact with each other. Miss when Cole isn’t with you! Growing boy to man that he is! Take care!

[@jessicacrites7659]

My husband told me for the first few years of our marriage that he was allergic to mustard. I went with it for awhile until I found out he was just extremely picky. I eventually started adding mustard to various recipes that required it, and there were no signs of reactions. I finally made a recipe where one of the main ingredients in the sauce was mustard. He LoVeD it! I called him out on his “allergy” and he finally confessed he just didn’t like it 😂

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hahaha!! Too funny!

[@thomasgunter3118]

That's pretty genius!! Lol 😆

[@kkmills5934]

I say that about mayonnaise 😂

[@bettyfederation5938]

My ex was the same with ground turkey. It took him a year before he caught me using it. He never had a problem after that 🤣

[@catherinesmith4433]

Lol!! I tell everyone I’m allergic to seafood!

[@oceanblueyesmother]

Hi Mandy, my favorite way to make the Rolo and pretzel snack is to put a pecan or pecan half on top. It’s like a turtle. The m&m way is chocolate on chocolate. That’s too much of the same thing. I hope you’ll try it with the pecan. It’s the best snack ever! I love your whole family including the cat.

[@sandrast.martin3613]

I make them with pecan halves too...delicious!

[@hokey23537]

Mandy we are going to need to hear the Walmart story now lol. I’ve watched you for a long time and don’t remember you ever sharing this. Love you and your family and especially the new common tatter segment.

[@krystalbolden79]

I agree

[@pennasylvania]

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️

[@cattandneil1504]

Agreed! It's not my favorite store to begin with!

[@greyhatdone]

Honestly, I won't shop there anymore. If they act that way towards Mandy....bye walmart.

[@arthrodea]

She did share the story on one of the more recent videos. Basically, a Walmart employee was extremely rude to her.

[@mdketzer]

Steven you are so hysterical, thank you for the many laughs! As always Mandy, love the recipes!❤

[@barbarajohnson83]

I make a dip with cream cheese on the bottom, top with no bean chili and top with shredded Mexican cheese. It’s nice to see Gracie Lou. She is so sweet. I love the easy dessert. Great recipes forSuper Bowl.❤️

[@sheilasendling5356]

Omgoodness how do you keep a straight face ever?! I've been married a looong time and I have a man that keeps me laughing ! What a blessing you both are!

[@conflictrescue5206]

The common tater shirt is hilarious. I needed a good giggle. Thanks

[@patriciameyers788]

Mandy and Steven love how loving and full of fun you all have. A couple ideas for pretzel candy. Instead of M & M use a pecan or a peanut M & M Also the mini rollos have no wrappers. Also for the parchment paper for fudge cut your paper as wide as your pan and cut 2 strips and criss cross them in the pan. Fits nicely and just lift out the paper with excess. Peppers can be wrapped in egg roll wrappers after they are stuffed. That way they are all contained with a crispy out side. Enjoy the video today.😂😇

[@stephanieevans9746]

Oh my goodness! 😆 When Steven did the 'reporting in' demonstration, Mandy, you had that 'Beam me up Scotty' look on your face 🤣 😂 😆 You two really crack me up, you should call your channel, 'Dinner and a show.' I love it, I look forward to your next video all the time. Love you guys

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha, I had NO CLUE what he was doing. :)

[@stephanieevans9746]

@Mandy in the Making That is too funny. Your channel is not only a cooking channel, it's also very entertaining and seeing it coming from such a sweet wholesome southern family warms my heart and it's something I look forward to seeing every time you post a new video, and with you guys, we never know what to expect.....😂😆😂

[@terriamaya2896]

Mandy, I wish I had a special kitchen trick for you, but I don’t. What I do have is a huge appreciation for your recipes and making it fun. It’s funny how Gracie has an admirer cause my doggy just loves to see Gracie when she meows for cheese, my doggy will run up to the tv and wants to play with her. Love y’all from Oregon 😘

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw!! I love that!

[@peggywieting2073]

I make them them way, too - pecan or walnut half. Yes, press them. Yum

[@michellehorning2216]

These three ingredient recipes are all great. I have done the stuffed sweet peppers and they are great! A tip for anyone on WW, these are "point friendly" snacks. Loved the crescent roll-quacomole-bacon snack! Yum! Really these are all delicious looking! Thank you so much Mandy! Steven, you're doing a great job as the Common-Tater! Loved Miss Gracie-Lou's appearances! Have a wonderful week! 🙏💕😊

[@EriCraftCreations]

Great episode 🥰 I smiled a lot at yours and Streve'e silliness 🥰

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

Mandy, all of these recipes look SO good. I especially can’t wait to try the guacamole-bacon-biscuit one. YUM! Now for Stephen’s comment, “It’s rich but… “ I was on the edge of my chair waiting for him to say “It’s rich but light”. We had a friend that after having a piece of Dream Pie (which is a well known Jello Pudding Pie) that I made, said “It’s light but rich”. I could absolutely see Stephen say that!!

[@ladeealice]

big fan love these vidoes. 1)crumble up the parchment paper(thats the trick i use).2) get the non bagged spinach:that way you can cut off all the stems at once. give gracey a cheese treat for me!

[@Kiley_and_the_Hendersons]

My father in law makes 2 ingredient peanut butter fudge and it’s so easy and yummy! He takes a can/tub/container of premade cake frosting, vanilla flavor, and a 16 oz. jar of creamy peanut butter. Warms them both in the microwave for a few seconds until melty and smooth, mix them together and let set in the fridge! Add M&Ms if you want! It’s so good, he sent my son home with some yesterday and we love it!!

[@zachermm]

A Mandy video just isn’t complete until I hear her say “Ma’am” to Gracie Lou! ❤

[@Becka034]

Ohh- those crescent guac bacon thingies- what a amazing idea! I am so going to try that!

[@Vandygriffd]

I love these recipes!! Don't you love that air fryer? My husband and I both were in the hospital at the same time and our 2 adult sons learned all types of things that could be cooked quicker and better than the microwave or oven. I enjoy hearing you talk about your faith also. I'm a Christian and love to hear others not shy away from spreading the Lord's name. 🙏🏻 Thank you!!

[@Julie-u2z]

Mandy to prepare the parchment, turn the casserole dish over. Use your thumb and forefinger to just pinch at each corner. Then put the parchment on the counter and fold along the lines up to each corner. Where the parchment comes together at each corner, just make one slit with your scissors up to the main line. Put the parchment into your casserole now and where you’ve cut at the corners, the parchment could just overlap. I hope this makes sense because it is much easier to watch a demo. Have fun with it. Good luck. I really enjoy your videos!

[@sylviaferrara5296]

Y’all are a HOOT! Thank you for all these awesome videos. I laughed so hard😂

[@toastedmarshmallowkitchen7911]

That fudge looks so good! I want to make that for Valentine’s Day with pink sprinkles on top! Update: I made the fudge and it tastes like my favorite candy bar - Hersheys cookies and creme. 10/10!!

[@renew.2670]

Mandy, thanks for the links to your kitchen gadget favorites, most requested & must haves!❤

[@gloriawasion-allen521]

Gonna try "em. I've had the pretzels with Rolos. Addictive !!

[@karenmar1529]

Love savory snacks and sweets. These look real good and easy. Thank you plus Steven recalling his cream cheese nightmare was hilarious, I knew this went deep 😂

The pretzel snack was yummy looking I like all 3 ingredients

Mandy and Steven, your videos are the highlight of my days when they are on. You bring much laughter and joy to this older lady and I just love your whole family. Thank you for all you do and share. I've tried several of your recipes and have never been disappointed. Love to Gracie Lou too ❤ 😻

I love Stephen he is so silly when he tries what you make it makes me want to try the recipes

[@LauraMc294]

You two are so cute together. I really enjoy your videos, Mandy and Steve is the perfect taste tester. ❤

[@tamaraford6231]

Hi Guy's! Love you all so much, you make my day! I ask my husband how he likes new recipes and he will say, "It is ok or it's alright", the only way I know he really likes it is if he goes back for seconds. I really wish he was more willing to or try new things, he is very picky. We have one of my adult children living with us and helping us out. He gives a lot of input into what I make. Made a chicken in the crackpot last week that called for white wine only a 1/4 cup and Vermouth 2 tablespoons and some seasonings, easy through in crackpot. The husband ate it and said it was alright. Son said he didn't like the taste but was trying to eat it, I laughed at the look on his face and said, "You don't have to eat it" 😂 I liked it! They both like oreos and fudge so I will be trying this!

[@amandacarroll9611]

I've made the Oreo fudge before. You have to "drain" the cookie pieces in a colander first so your fudge will be whiter and not so "muddy" looking. Love your channel!❤

[@christeenprice5637]

The two of you are so hilarious,love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@cathyhenry2854]

What Lori said plus spray dish with Pam so parchment paper has something to stick to…works great. Thanks for the yummy ideas.

Love all the recipes especially the bean dip and stuffed peppers yum. Thank you for sharing Mandy have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@constancebradley119]

You and your husband are the funniest I just love to watch you and your son is the cutest. You make me feel good 😊

[@debbiealtman5373]

All of the appetizers, sweets look delicious

[@Randy8923]

I dont know how I missed this video but I did. These are great ideas. You two are just to stinking cute.. Enjoyed.

[@theresacorbe]

Okay, not me sitting here watching this video and laughing so loud, my son, hubby and both cats, came running. You both just slay me with your banter. My son is not a fan of anything really in the crockpot, so when I recreate your goodies, it is a chore to get him to try them. But as far as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, or any cheese for that matter, the MORE THE BETTER!!! Hugs to you both.

[@jenniferjohnston5548]

Love the T-Shirt! Kindness Rocks!!! ♡

[@barbarakolosso2152]

I love to watch the two of you it is wonderful. I love how easy it is to make what you make and put my own spin on it to maybe feed my pocket eater daughter. Can't wait to try things to feed my grandsons in a few months. Please keep giving great recipes to try. If gonna make anything off KZbin I love what I see from you. Thank you so very much for that. As always Love ❣️❣️ and Hugs 🤗🤗🤗 from Sheboygan, WI.

[@sandramacarthur590]

Lol. Ya'll are so adorable. I've been having a rough time lately and I just saw this video. You are just what I needed right now. ❤ ( I've been watching ya'll for a couple years but this one came up in my scrolling. Must have known that I needed cheering up)

[@lindarussell620]

Great appetizers! Steven was in fine form this episode. I absolutely love the banter and humor between the two of you! This is by far my favorite episode just because you both are having so much fun.

[@sallyabernathey8336]

Steven makes me laugh and your reaction to him is hilarious. Love watching your family interact, including Gracie. I have tried many of you4 recipes and we have liked them all . Thank you for sharing .🥰

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Mandy I am planning our weekend snacks and Oreo fudge and bean dip will be on it. Thank you. You and Steven always make me laugh. Thank you for a spark of sunshine on this cold , gray Pennsylvania afternoon.

[@jajacobs100]

Love the laughter as well as the recipes. All of these sound so yummy and easy to do.

[@zullo3529]

I love guacamole! The crescent cups look so good. And along Sugeons the bean dip is heaven! Thanks Mandy 🌶️🧀🥠🍫

Love you both thank you for sharing food & Joy of everyday living🙏💛💚

[@monicagieck7975]

I made your taco soup. I did not have cream cheese so I used Festa Nacho cheese soup. It came out creamy and delicious. Loved it.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Sounds great!

[@RosemaryBrewington]

I can’t wait to try this fudge, I don’t eat anything sweet but I can’t resist this recipe Mandy❤🌲🌹

[@karenpowers2654]

thanks for doing this video in time for super bowl!

[@Bribear1977]

Hey Mandy! My mom used to make something very similar to the bean dip...she would cook a pound of ground beef and taco seasoning, drain it, then mix in a can of refried beans and a jar of salsa. She'd add a thick layer of cheese and bake it; once it came out of the oven, she would top it with sour cream & serve it with Tortilla chips for dinner. Honestly, we used to call it dog food because it was ugly BUT it was DELICIOUS!!

[@lindak7623]

You 2 are so ornery, love watching you. Of course, the recipes all sound good.

[@cbolton3590]

Steven sounds like he is talking about Crockpot Crack Chicken. That would be exactly how I would describe it!! 😁

[@kelliefreaney7487]

I just wanted to tell you that I just really enjoy watching your videos you just seem so really and relatable. I can’t wait to try your recipes

[@cathycole1995]

Oh my goodness I LOVE your kitty❤ recipes look amazing too! Will be trying

[@cherylscheller4278]

Thank you for being so kind, sweet and for sharing those recipes..I have game night at my house occasionally and those recipes look easy plus delicious. Love you and Steven since you both are an amazing couple. ❤️❤️ I miss my hubby who passed away coming up on 1yr Valentine's day.

[@cathymccarter482]

I really enjoy watching you two you're entertaining I like almost all of your thank you and God bless

[@andiechadwick2200]

I make similar bean dip! We do beans, sour cream, pace, cheese then layer another round on top. It is amazing! Always asked for to bring to parties! 😍 love watching you all!

[@booboobaire3602]

Enjoy your content so very much! Your Common Tater is a joy! These recipes will be made by me sometime soon. Love little snacky type foods! Have made your White Chicken Chili with great success. Thank you so much for all that you do!!! Give my love to Gracie from all of my cats!!! Oh, the way to do that parchment/wax paper is to put the paper underneath the baking dish and cut a line to the corner on one side. This will help you make a corner into your dish!!!

[@JustLoveMusic28]

Hi Mandy, i always look forward to your videos. I have tried many recipies and they have turned into some of our favorite meals, especially when I'm in a rut and have no idea what to get, I think oh Mandy will know...Lol! And most of the time you and my air fryer come through...haha! Love ya. Thank you for being you! Still loving Stevens WOW!...lol

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Just crumple up your parchment paper into a ball, uncrumple it and it forms easily to your pan. Wetting it beforehand helps, too.

[@joanrossano5980]

I'm so happy I found you because all your recipes are basic things that we have in our home or can easily get. I sent so many of your recipes for myself. Thank you for doing this and as an animal lover Gracie Lou is so pretty.

[@rondaowens4752]

I’m happy I found your channel. You are both delightful to watch and you make some delicious looking food.

[@paulinewilgus5223]

Thank you I needed ideas for my party theses will be a success!❤

[@stellak374]

Hi Mandy, Usually that method with the tin is if you use aluminium foil. I do that myself. I usually cut the parchment paper, slits from the corner or cut a square out of corner so it looks like a cross and fits in the tin. its easier to show than describe

[@madmecyr]

I do the pretzel rolo one with a half pecan on top. Yum!

[@bettyfederation5938]

Oh my Mandy I have done similar to what you did with the little peppers with the regular large ones to use them up but just cutting them into the sections that show on the big peppers. I used my leftover stuffing with sausage in it I also have used leftover chicken and rice casserole and put sharp cheddar on top they were crazy good so I am definitely going to try it with the cheese spread you showed I am a cream cheese lover I could just eat it plain 😆 I just love you so much with all your ideas and I have used many of them. Love you so much there isn't a day that goes by that you are not on my TV you are so fortunate to have such a beautiful family. Blessings to you all 💘

[@cathybrewer8958]

Enjoy your videos. The oreo recipe you may want to add a tablespoon of salted butter to take the sweet edge off. Like that idea. If a recipe has more than 4 ingredients in it I won't make it. One that we loved was a can of cream of chicken soup. Using the small shell pasta with enough water to cover them to cook. Don't drain the water out. Should be enough water left to dilute the soup. Like eating it with salty chips. So easy. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us.

[@maryfreese280]

It all looked great you two are so fun to watch Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️♥️

I make the pretzels with Rolos and pecans and they are really good!

Ya’ll are too funny! I’ve been watching your channel for a good minute but I’ve never commented before. I love the back and forth with you and Steven. Please keep the delicious recipes coming!

[@lesliejones7018]

Thank you for these easy appetizers! I've made the Rolo pretzels before but put half a pecan on top. Another easy one is popped popcorn (I use the microwave kind) drizzled with melted white chocolate. I used a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate and stirred it often to distribute it. It's a great salty/sweet treat.

[@sheryldougherty282]

Had it years ago and it was the best birthday treat.

[@stephanie2]

Looks all so delicious. Love your videos ❤️

The Rolos and pretzels are good with pecans on top. All 4 recipes look good

[@majilajboo]

I am so going to try these stuffed mini, sweet peppers! They look delicious with that toasty brown, bubbly cheese! Tell you what I’m going to put some hot honey on the top though just for a little kick I bet it’s really good! Thank you for sharing this!🙏❤️😁

Hi from Australia. First time watching your videos. I love recipes that are economical to make, especially these days, and that taste good with few ingredients. I’ve subscribed and I’m looking forward to more of your videos. TFS.
