Ms Val you have no idea how thankful so many of your viewers are for you and your family sharing. Not everyone is as blessed with family and financial means as you, home alone etc. Watching and listening to you is like having ppl that care more so than your family, which some of us barely ever see or hear from. Sad, but true............thanks for entertaining, keeping our company, teaching us cleaning, decorating, diy, cooking etc. That's one of the reasons God keeps sending Blessing your way, you use yours to Bless others just by being your sweet self. 🙏❤🙏

They were store bought but they were good and for my sister, and brother in-laws Thanksgiving dinner at his maw maw's house, they had ham, turkey, dressing, scalloped potatoes, gumbo, yams, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, black eyed peas, peas with carrots, noodles with chicken, and rolls and for dessert, they had limon pie, cherry cheesecake, chocolate pecan pie, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, and home made pumpkin pie but no one ate any of the pumpkin pie before brought it home with me.

Hi Valerie, I love watching you cook on your videos. I wanted to let you know if you drizzle some honey over your brussel sprouts and carrots about the last 10 minutes of them cooking they will be so much more delicious. I add sweet pickle relish to my deviled eggs and it gives them such a wonderful flavor. My husband and I deep fry our turkey too. It's so much better than a baked turkey. I'm so glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

Valerie , we make what we call holiday potatoes that you make the day before, 5 lbs potatoes , boiled and mash with 1 lb of softened butter , 1 block of cream cheese softened, and add sour cream and half and half , place in a foil pan and cover with foil and put in frig, in the morning take them out to come up to room temp and place in oven for 45 min stiring after 1/2 hr and remove foil , these potatoes can also be froze if you have a lot of left overs, be careful adding sour cream or they won’t be as thick ! They are so delicious and saves time on the day of preparing everything else Love your channel❤️❤️ Your meal looks delicious ❤️

Whenever yellow squash is in season, I get as much as I can possibly handle. I spend a good half a day washing it, cutting it and cooking it. I will also add the onions just like you did. I put it in baggies and freeze it. If it needs to be cooked more, that’s not a problem. It’s one of my favorite veggies. I put all kinds of things in my squash. I have added hamburger, RoTel tomatoes, croutons, cheese, you name it. Sometimes is just plain squash with a little butter and salt.
