Appalachian Dumplins by Nana~Thanksgiving Special!

[@franriddiough2228]

Hey , Nana! Hands on experience is the best! Y'all are my kind of REAL people. ❤

[@debraadamsadams6955]

This is why we need to value our older folks.

[@oggyogg9058]

These videos by Nana are great for two reasons. .1. How to make to make dumplings ,and 2. I love a living history of your folks.Both great lessons for us all - inspirational.

[@missjools351]

She is precious♥️. Masters DONT measure anything. My mom was the same way and it’s how I was taught too. Whenever someone wants a recipe I just tell them they are gonna have to just come watch me.

[@kayebyrd8864]

My grandmother made squirrelvdumplings as well as chicken dumplings. Keith one of them are with us now! God bless our grandmother's for teaching us so much

[@Disaster724]

Oh my gosh 3:04 My grandmother who passed away on the 19th (which is why I'm watching this - she made the best chicken and dumplings) had those same exact little mugs! ❤ I fed her applesauce and ice chips from them in her last days 😢 Your grandma reminds me so much of her! ❤

[@debichats8634]

Your Nana is my dream come true……She reminds me of my grandma (Mama) who died before 1970…I wanted to be with her and pick her mind……she was an amazing woman…..I’m using your Nana’s recipe for dumplings because I think it’s closest to what my Mama (Petersburg TN) would have used for hers….I miss her so much….I lost all her recipes when she passed….my mom never got them…..Apparently she didn’t care…..but her biscuit recipe was THE BEST ever! I just found her only existing cookbook that she got before she was married….found it at my parents when they passed……It means the world to me to find the recipes she maybe used! Please pick your Nana’s brain for all the good old stuff….(I feel sure you have) but don’t let it be lost. She’s incredible and I’d love to spend a week with her learning all the good old stuff! Learn all you can from her…..those things will be gone forever someday and you’ll be happy you have her! What a precious soul!!!❤❤❤

[@lovemyanimals4712]

The ones that don't have to measure are the real cooks. Watching her hands remind me of when my Mother use to make dumplins. Thank you for sharing your Nana with us :)

[@stalinaevans629]

Nana making dumplings reminds me so much of my grandma. But she cooked chicken all day and then made the dumplings and homemade biscuits. Still til this day were the Best. She made it look so simple. This I will have to try. I want to out do my gentleman friend. Thank you

[@marycnhatch4934]

I loved this. It reminded me of my Momma, she would take home-canned jars of blackberries, heat on the stove and add sweet dumplings. The dumplings were sweet clouds over the blackberries. I wish I had gotten the recipe.

[@Barbarra63297]

I sure miss watching my mom's hands make pie crusts, biscuits, etc., growing up on a farm it was second nature for her and nothing tasted better than momma's cooking! Love this video!

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Thank you! Be blessed! xoxo

[@deewinston5651]

Patara your Nana is so special. Her dumplings look delicious. What a treasure she is.❤️

[@brendamorris7263]

Grand parents and Great grandparents are so very important to the children… so many wonderful life lessons to learned! And they have access to warm and wonderful Nanas to teach them!

[@tinastone3772]

Nana brought back so many memories of my own Grandma! They both have very similar ways about the kitchen and cooking. Watching this video just melted my heart.

[@terribethreed8464]

Thank you both! Nana you are a gem! We need more Nana's around for our Grandchildren. Now that I'm one now I'll pass my knowledge down to my 4 Granddaughters, 1 Grandson & 1 on the way!! Sure makes me miss my Mom & Grandma!! They had me started learning to cook at 5 years old doing piecrust cookies & such. Now I'm 64 & passing it on!!

[@c007zy]

We have a lot to learn from the older generations! It's sad how much we lost!

[@carolynburge8225]

How precious you two cooking together. You favor your Nana.

[@nancycoy9510]

As someone who does ancestry like yourself this is good documentation for your family on your nana. It will be wonderful for generations to come to view her making dumplings with you! One of my favorite videos!

[@shelly8387]

Grandma's hands! Brings me to tears. What a beautiful lady.

[@thevictorianedge5465]

I called my grandma 'nanny' and I was extremely close to her. She taught me so much. She was truly a blessing to me in so many ways. She's been gone five years, I miss her so much...I'm tearing up trying to type this message, but thank you so much for sharing this video Patara. Making wonderful memories right there...

[@EbonyIvyThymewithLeona]

This video is PRICELSS! I miss my mother and never met my grandmother; you are so blessed to share recipes and time with her.!

[@teresaford8906]

Could you please have your Nana show us how to cook her greens?😀

[@lindawakefield-hoffman6996]

Oh my gosh! This brings back so many memories of me and my Grandmother! Love it!

[@RobinMarconeCassidyRN]

I absolutely love listening to yours and Nana's accent, I could sit here forever just hearing you talk :) I'm a new subscriber and love your channel. Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes and stories.

[@tammymcguire6863]

Thank you for sharing your Nana - the way she explained everything was like listening to my mom. My mom did dumplings the same way - thanks to your Nana I think I will try it!

[@virginiabirkett4980]

Nana is so completely wonderful 💖 I can not express how grateful I am that you have chosen to share her with us!! She brings back so many memories of my time with mine. 😢😊 Thank You! Nana Thank You for showing us your beautiful home and scrumptious dumplings. I now know how to make them. Thank You so very much!! I love you BOTH ❤️ ❤❤❤

[@susanhoward9566]

Spend every minute w Nana that you can. I only wish i had just one more day w mine. You very blessed ! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@flossum35]

How sweet that you have your Nana on video... To keep forever and ever!! I wish I had this of my Grandma .. :(. Enjoy!

[@Tsiri09]

Your Nana reminds me of my Grandma- I miss her intensely. God bless you both! My Grandmother taught me measurements such as a pinch, dash, couple shakes of...., a pile that high (in your hand), till it looks/tastes/feels right.

[@mllee2008]

Your Nana is the sweetest thing!! Wisdom that can never be bought... it's so important to pass on the knowledge! Thank you Nana and Patara, and Happy Holidays.

[@HearthandDome]

Anything with Nana is a hit!! Thanks for sharing Nana!!

[@annkruml]

They look amazing. Yum! Precious memories. Nothing like grandmas/grandpa's and their stories to learn from.

[@jeanlee1911]

THANK YOU! I lost my me-maw when I was 10, I remember watching her cook but never got any recipes from her. My mom never cooked anything that didn't come in a box or boil in bag...she never was interested in home cooking, so I learned by checking out cookbooks, now we have youtube. I love your channel because it is the way I remember my me-maw use to cook, she was a Mississippi lady with Native American/Cajun/Creole/Appalachian roots. (I know what a mix)xoxoxoxoxoxox

[@marlenebranom]

I miss my grandmas one raised me and my brother in between my mom not working.I did everything with my grandma I miss her so so much we cooked together all the time!! You are so Blessed love her and cherish her!!!

[@jodyflores601]

Oh Patara I wanna hug your Nana! She is a sweet heart, bless her and you are one lucky lady. :)

[@audreytempleton4415]

I love seeing your Nanna with you .love her stories of her girlhood .it reminds me of when I still had my Granny .what a gift our grandmother's are .I will try her dumplings .good old fashioned real food.thank you Nanna !

[@pamchand3513]

Ohhh this made me cry. Your Nana is so precious reminds me of my mother God rest her soul that made the best chicken n dumplins ever and your Nana's look just like hers :) I'm gonna have to make some! Thanks Nana and Patara!

[@judypierce7028]

This video is like watching my grandmother make chicken and dumplings! Your Nana used the same ingredients, but my grandmother used broth from a cooked chicken. It is a pleasure to meet your NANA. Thank you.

[@Ken1NC]

Only Nana could pull off looking so beautiful with flour on her hands and face. I wish I could have gotten my Grandma's dumpling recipe and maybe a video before she passed away from us. They were incredible and I sure miss them so badly.

[@sharonjuday8489]

When my daughter looked over my shoulder as I was watching this, she said, oh my, is that her mother or grandmother? I said that is her Nana and she said, I know they are kin cause she resembles her so much. It's like looking at an older Patara....What a blessed video to have for your keepsake. GOD bless...

[@dbabbit5286]

This reminds me of my mother making her biscuits, dumplings, and clobbers, and my Grandma making her Poundcake every Friday every afternoon! Love your Nana! I'm binging for more of her! ❤️

[@comfortcreekranch4948]

Nana is pretty! I love seeing your Grandmother teach us how to cook, what a keepsake! 💕 God Bless y'all!

[@gailmount3344]

There should be a love button for Nana! Cherish every minute you have with her. My Grandmother has been gone 14 years and I still miss her terribly. Your Nana even favors my Grandmother's sisters, which makes it even more of a treat to watch her. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and holiday season.

[@tinaluu9810]

What a treasure to have nana's experience. I love dumplings

[@mollysmith6055]

What a special gift to share with us. Thank you Patera and Nana! How gracious she is to show us how to make dumplins and invite us into her beautiful kitchen.

[@amydelp3082]

Just have to love nana

[@lacyblackburn]

I love LOVE cooking with grandmothers

[@mommaprepper]

I grew up on dumplings. :) Our recipe was a little different, we don't use fats or milk, we just use flour, broth, and a couple eggs. Roll them out and add them to boiling broth. The best thing in the world after being outside in the cold splitting wood.

[@conniefrye4401]

Thanks Nana. Brings back memories of cooking with my Grandmother, God Bless her soul!

[@christiescorner8472]

I just found this video and followed along with your Nana. I made my first pot of homemade dumplings, and they turned out delicious! You are so lucky to have a Nana that knows how to cook family recipes. My grandmas on both sides were career women. They had no domestic qualities and didn’t even breastfeed their babies! I was the first one on both sides of my own family and the first one my husband’s side in three generations to breastfeed my babies. I wish I had gotten to know my great-grandmother as she was a phenomenal cook and homemaker. My dad says that seeing me in the kitchen is like his grandmother has come back to life. I had to teach myself everything, including how to breastfeed, and am proud of being the Nana in the future like your Nana. Generational knowledge can end with one person, but it can also start with one person!

[@raisingsunshine351]

This video warms my heart so much! All over my grandparents who cooked passed a before I started to cook. I wish I had them around to teach me their tricks!

[@dawnvierra4063]

Shes adorable. I'll have to try her recipe. I so miss my grandma. My favorite person ever. I'm 68 and she passed on Christmas day when I was 18. Christmas was her most favorite day

[@BeBlessedToday]

Well Patara, it was called Fluffy when I was a baby boomer child growing up in CA! Today is 11/2/23 and I an watching your beautiful Nana make dumplings from 5 years ago. Just precious💞

[@jennadavis2425]

So glad this popped up today! I hadn't thought about adding dumplings to squirrel soup, but I have three in the freezer so I guess I know what I'm making with them now, squirrel and dumplings.

[@donnajean5288]

What a real treat! I LOVE NANA!

[@Super7147]

Thank you, Nana, for teaching me I really want to reach out and kiss your hand and tell you that I love you!

[@donnaflores50]

Nana is a beautiful woman and a very talented cook! Thank you and God bless y'all.

[@w4ame]

Looks great! Thanks for teaching us Nana!

[@freddietreehugger8144]

So then "off the eye" means remove from heat. That's an interesting phrase I had never heard before! Thank you! Now I understand how to make dumplings. 😊

[@jaxxon9]

How very grateful you must be to still have your Nana...and a very attractive Nana, too!

[@tommielourogers4327]

Oh what beautiful flowers on table!You have a beautiful Nana. You are very blessed to have her to teach you the subtleties of making dumplings. My mother used to make the best chicken and dumplings like that, but I was to young to learn how. By the time I was old enough to learn, she was busy with her career and had discovered the microwave. 🥺 So I am so very glad that you have shared your Nana with us. I just 2 days making lots of chicken bone broth and I am craving my mother’s dumplings, so this video came up at the perfect time. I’m going to give it a try. Kind of like God knew how much I wished I knew how to make those wonderful dumplings. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@woodyydoow3645]

PATERA, I DECLARE, AMERICA STILL LIVES IN APPALACHIA. Y'ALL HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVNG.. (sruff like this here, brings a tear to an ole Marines eye..)

[@pattishugs7458]

Being from the Pacific nw, I know these as noodles...and dumplings i grew up on were fluffy dumplings.

[@sherylhypes6290]

This older video popped up for me to watch. What a precious video learning to make your Nana's dumplings! It's wonderful to witness the old fashioned skills that she has. Cooking like her is a lost art.

[@conniebarber4582]

Hi Patara, your Nana is the sweetest thing. God bless her. Those dumplings look so good. God bless you and your channel kiddo. Stay safe and stay healthy.

[@aacaptainswife]

THIS video is the best! I still love cooking w my Nannie and this video reminds me of her. What a jem! I vote for more trips to Nana's kitchen! Best advice: "Dont leave your dumpings to go talk on the phone!" :)

[@jesusislord2457]

Wow! Beautiful ladies, beautiful dumplings, and a beautiful table setting that is too pretty to eat at! 😉😘

[@ammymorales1501]

This is how my Grandma made them..she showed me how to do this when I was a little girl!!😋

[@maryannedeering1663]

Loved watching you and Nana interact..Precious and the dumplings, OMYGOODNESS, that's all I can say!!!!

[@nicidevine6670]

Thank you Nana for sharing your recipe with us !!! Enjoyed meeting you, your a very sweet lady I just wish I was there with you two !!! Have a great 👍 Thanksgiving !!!

[@Ssupermom12000]

Looks good. My mom would make dumplings and put them on top of chicken soup to simmer all afternoon. So good.

[@pamgraves]

This is a blessing to have your nana

[@virginia7191]

My mother made dumplings just like this except instead of rolling and cutting, she pinched off and dropped pieces of dough. She never measured anything either. She just knew when it looked right. I haven't had dumplings since she passed. Thanks for showing us how Nana does this!

[@cynthiajordan8751]

A lot of people must be watching this video because it isn’t loading. I’ll come back later. I know it has to be amazing. Happy Thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍁. God Bless

[@snookie65]

This video is a true treasure, nana is lovely. Thanks, Nana for teaching us how to make dumplings.

[@spiritintheskyblue]

Hello Patara, I just wanted to wish you and your a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for all you do... Much Love.. Julie

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Beautiful Nana, she prissy love ❤️ her saying 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼

[@backwoodsmama721]

Gotta love good ole mountain cooking. East TN girl here!

[@christinecomeau5820]

Love Nana. Show more of her cooking. Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

[@606newman5]

I have always wanted to be able to make dumplings like my granny. I really think this video of your Nana making dumplings is easy to follow and I’ll be able to finally make a good pot of dumplings. Thanks Nana and Patara.😊

[@jenniferpruitt7566]

I lost my mom , my grandma and maw maw with in 3 years of each other by the time i was 35. love this and warms my heart

[@michelebowman4989]

Oh my gosh this is wonderful. I use to cook with my MawMaw just like you and your nana. These are sweet precious examples in our lives!

[@crazyldy002]

This video is totally awesome, love seeing and hearing your Nana and you talking and doing things together :-)

[@TexasRose50]

I've never heard of dumplins without chicken. I like it because you said never stir them! My mother never did and neither do I. I have plans to make mine tomorrow. They are so much better the next day, and we usually have them for Christmas Eve. You are blessed to have your Nana on video cooking. Treasure it always.

[@ecleveland1]

They looked very good, wish I had a big bowl of them now for breakfast. This is like my Mamaw and Mother taught me. My wife's been asking me to cook some chicken and dumplings for a couple of weeks now, looks like it's time. Yes guys and gals I do all the cooking in our house, it's my way of spoiling my wife. She absolutely loves my cooking so does my side of the family especially my mother and nephews. My inlaws like to invite us over to their house and have me cook for them around the holidays.

[@flowerpixie76]

Such a sweet and beautiful Nana you have! I sure miss mine! 🌼

[@grandmaroses1503]

I was finally able to watch and thank you so very much for sharing your nana and her recipe with us.

[@mtzlfldt]

Hi Nana! Absolutely love when you visit with us here on Patara's channel! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lantanana]

I sure love dumplings... thank you for this tutorial!

[@PhotoKevin]

Thanks for sharing your recipe Nana! I find it so interesting how different areas of the country cook things differently.

[@I_love_cats12223]

Thats how my grandma made hers they were the best i have ever had :)
