At the end of the video I share a few photos from the weekend 😉 thanks for hanging out with me today! Love chatting with you all here in the comments 😊

[@user-fz5yf5vl6d]

WOW, you been working extra hard! Love all your videos. Today I watched a few hours of your old cleaning videos.

[@AdalineZook]

Yay! Thank you!

[@britneyduranko420]

​@@AdalineZookLove your video s❤

[@marshabrubaker185]

Yay! More meal prep ideas!

[@THYMEWITHLAUREN]

Next time instead of using a single cup measure for such a huge batch, you can use a big measuring bowl and do 8 cups at a time. I just pour on top of each layer and measure that way! Way quicker for large batches!

[@loswife6233]

I know this sounds silly but I admire how you always try to get the little bits and pieces into the pan/bucket...no snacks/ingredients left behind. All those little bits add up- waste not, want not :)

[@suesmith817]

I am loving all these extra videos these days keep up the great work

[@hollya9102]

[@AdalineZook]

Not completely, I just find it helpful to do some light work through the summer ☺️

[@steffyw9524]

Always love your videos! 😊

[@lindsayann9856]

[@Michelle88elle]

love love love your videos! You are so fun and the way you explain everything you're doing while cooking is SO helpful for me as wanna be multi-tasker trying to watch/listen and get things done. Whenever i have to look away I can still tell what you're doing by your narration. Thank you!

[@janeweldon8874]

What a wonderful time you will have!! The food looks sooo good. Enjoy!❤❤

[@rachelt761]

[@kimacker8594]

A lot of work preparing and getting ready for this get away but well worth it, I'm sure! That looks like a delicious twist on rice crispie bars to add oreos and smores.

[@AdalineZook]

It was!

[@sarahwieland3243]

U r on such a roll! Thk u so much for working so hard to get such great content out! I just love ur content, u r simply one of the best on KZbin ❤

[@stillyourb]

Perfect timing, I’m totally going to do those Rice Krispie treats for our June family reunion! Oh the pile….this is why my large family has yet to go camping. I can’t bring myself to tackle all.the.things!

[@kelliejackson1191]

I don't know why if people can't comment positively why they even bother to comment! Good video!

[@amydrooks2090]

Suggestion to save time - have ingredients premeasured and ready.

[@ashleyporter9330]

Great video! Thanks for the recipe ideas!

[@HaileyMunroe]

Wow! Busy busy with all these new videos back to back! I love it, but also don’t burn yourself out - remember to take breaks if you need to don’t worry about us we will all still be here! Honestly though so loving coming on and having another new video of yours to watch! ❤

[@sandrarutz6993]

Loved this video!

[@nancyhaywood6486]

i know that was a fun time at the cabin. enjoy your videos.

[@stephencameron1709]

Great job! Looks so fun. Val C

[@LindsayHarveyfam6]

Brown your butter when you make rice crispy treat. Trust me, you will never go back to making them without the brown butter.

[@shannonestrada1200]

When I do anything in plastic ziplocks I zip up with a straw at the end then suck out all the air and quickly pullout and zipup that way it cuts down on the freezer burn

[@lisagilling8263]

I love that your daughter came to help. Maybe she needs her own apron xxxx

[@lindagiacomozzi4477]

Thankyou for sharing a picture of your wonderfull cooking and vacation bring backs so memories for me thankyou for making me smile from ear to ear

[@AdalineZook]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@shriverc7]

Hi, been enjoying your cooking videos for a little while now, and I was wondering if you might ever want to try something called Clear Gel? It works the same as corn starch, but it won't affect the color of your sauces or glazes as much as corn starch does. I used it during one of my last cooking jobs and it still thickens a sauce just like corn starch does and you mix it the same way you would mix corn starch. I just don't know where you can find it for public (consumer) use. I don't know if it's just for restaurants or if Amazon carries it. Either one works in my opinion, and it really doesn't matter unless you don't want your sauces or glazes to look "milky" or cloudy if it's not supposed to look that way. I appreciate all of your recipe ideas that you share with us, I was just curious and lending a little food for thought on something that might be useful in future recipes that you share with us. Thank you for sharing your recipes and cooking wisdom. I hope you had a great time at the cabin with family. 😀

[@glennysdiaz5373]

I’m in PA is that a public campground? It looks fun!

[@yancypol]

Making large batches of pudding sure is wisky business..

[@MandaKaye615]

On the s’mores rice crispies rather than doing like you did I think it would be a good idea if immediately after panning you top them off with a marshmallow imagining lines in how you would cut them giving each square a marshmallow on top (still mix some in obviously) and take a torch or few seconds under broil if you don’t have one however the torch would give the roasted effect to the marshmallow anyway just enough to make a tad gooey then take the chocolate and press into the torched marshmallow both sticking it to it and causing it to partially melt on them!

[@AdalineZook]

Ohhhhh these are GREAT ideas!! Love the idea of toasting the marshmallows!

[@letsstartahomestead]

Mam, did you throw away all those egg whites!!? 😭 you could’ve made egg white macaroons they are so simple and easy or just an egg white omelet!

[@marochaneviviers4540]

Or marshmellows

[@aprilhampton6298]

I usually double the sauce for chex mix because I like a lot of flavor. I make homemade pudding for banana pudding.

[@AdalineZook]

Yes! I’ve doubled the sauce before as well ☺️

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Pre-shredded cheese often has an antibiotic also, which is not good to ingest.

[@stacymerkel9144]

In your cream cheese chocolate chip bars you have in the description box 1 egg to mix with the yellow cake mix but in your video you add 4 since you soubled the recipe. So if im doing a single recipe do i do 1 or 2 eggs? 😁 Thanks a bunch!!! Loved your video and immediately subscribed.

[@lostwithoutaplan]

Are those the gf graham's from whole foods? I was so excited to find the corn free graham's that were also gf! And man were they tasty. The first smores i have had in decades since all my food allergies set in... yum! I haven't been to whole foods yet but I'm on the hunt.

[@AdalineZook]

I actually grabbed these at Walmart ☺️

[@lostwithoutaplan]

I have a nice food processor but never learned how to use it. Lol I wish there was a how to video with some great recipes

[@cynthiafisher9907]

There might be some videos on your food processor on KZbin.

[@lisaharrington3241]

Love the video. I am sure you are reading the label. Not all Worcestershire sauce. Is gluten free

[@AdalineZook]

Yes! Thank you!

[@normalopez2856]

Good afternoon

[@Pinkit]

😍😍😍

[@lilymayra8368]

💜💜💜💜

[@cindybaumgart4219]

I love your videos and recipes. Just putting that here, before I ask why you wasted all those egg whites? All the freezing and prep you do, you couldn’t have saved them for use in a future recipe or something like that?

[@theresaschwed9405]

Is this a public cabin or is this a family property?

[@mardwella]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@Anne_Ada]

A bit sad for the 16 egg whites. I fully understand it's not fitting today reciepes. Though it's filled with proteines, so i'm wondering if someone knows an easy reciepe to do on the side with them 🤔(something els than Meringues ofc >_>)

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Angel food cake!Or macaroons.

[@NAWennerholm]

Do you have a silicone or other type of nylon. Or plastic spatula that makes scraping out the bowl or whatever you use for mixing to get everything out to avoid waste. I never had a bear cheese or bear for that matter could never stand the smell plus the bear never agreed with my stomach. But I have had wine cheese. And wine has something that can help settle the stomach. It is even mentioned in the Bible. Too much sugar from what I see hope you watch out because of not needing sugar high kids. Plus the issue with diabetes which is on the rise. I was hypoglycemic but now type 2 because of insulin resistance and organ damage. So I have to watch the sugar. But there are nature's cane sugar substitutes that are low glycemic and low glycemic load based on how the body processes. Them. Do some research and substitute. So.ecrun around the same as cane sugar but others cost more but you need less of it compared to sugar. So a good conversion chart and doing some experimentation you will find what you need to meet your taste preference. I know CC cannot stand anything super sweet It makes me sick to my stomach always had since I was a kid. I am now 51 years old looking after my 49 year old special needs brother. And we just lost our father this year on 2-1-2024 at 2:25 am in his sleep at the age of 79 his 80th birthday would have been 9-19-1944 as his birth year. So he didn't meet his goal of 80 this year of 2024. Our family usually lives in our 80s, 90s, and 100s. Unless of severe illness, accident or murder/assassination. And considering who many of our relatives are assassination has been an issue through the centuries. One of my great uncles died because of an arson fire. And my great grandfather was almost killed because of an attempted murder using horses and a wagon. By creating a run away wagon situation that in the late 1800s early 1900s with the horse and buggy area as it was known and very few automobiles aka horseless carriages on the road. But he did lose his leg from what my grandfather told me and it happened before my grandfather was born which was 5-5-1908.

[@Jaynes-Path]

You said the cheese dip needs 2 oz of cream cheese. A block of cream cheese is 8oz, half would be 4oz. Are you using a brand than comes in a unusual quantity or did you mean to say a different weight? I'm confused as there's a big difference between 2oz and 8oz.

[@AdalineZook]

I was wrong in my account of doubling it! Thank you for catching that!! It still turned out yummy!

[@deidrecruickshank7975]

Is anyone else out there yelling at the screen saying 'check your pudding!'

[@thymelapse4838]

2 oz of cream cheese? I thought a whole block was 8oz..

[@ACD421]

Never seen so much fake measuring and spatula neglect in my life.
