$50 Thanksgiving SOUL FOOD FEAST! She THREW DOWN (You Can Too!)

[@sylvesterinfl]

Finally, a woman who paid attention to her mama and grandma on how to cook a good southern meal. God bless.

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

I still clean my greens the old school way my mom & grandmother showed me with salt. It’s really easy with my double sided sink. I pick & trim first. Then submerge, layer in salt, rub and agitate, rinse and repeat until the water runs clean and the greens are squeaky clean.

[@sherryn39455]

Forgot to give you a recipe to clean your air fryer. You can use it on large ovens also mix 1/4 cup vinegar half a cup of dawn detergent one and a half cups baking soda. Just mix it up let it sit a while and just clean. It works. Wonders on my big oven and my countertop oven. Try it. Let me know if it works. Your dinner looks wonderful.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Great idea!! I will try that when I have some time.

Creating a budget friendly soul food Thanksgiving dinner brings happiness to my soul 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Definitely my grandmother’s caramel cake, banana pudding & sweet potato pie have always been my favorites. Nothing beat homemade caramel made in her cast iron skillet even after stirring until my muscles cried.

[@danirobinson4017]

Green bell peppers for the dressing is my preference.

[@ainsleyclyne2756]

Miss Camrria this episode wasn't just very delicious but it was really thoughtful and well thought of you really went above and beyond to make sure everyone can have a happy thanksgiving or evening a Merry Christmas or just any occasions that might required some extra love in the kitchen you are really a gem miss camrria another beautifully done episode ❤❤

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed it! I want everyone to have a nice warm food filled holiday

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

You did great and you don’t have to be in the kitchen all day or prepping weeks in advance. This could easily in done in two days with an hour’s + kitchen’s work. Day 1: Crusts, cornbread, pressure cook chicken, clean/prep/cook greens Day 2: Pressure cook Peas, Finish corn pudding, dressing, and tarts

[@CamirrasKitchen]

yep! all the way!

[@sandraatkins2539]

I have advised people to cut back on all of that weeks-long preparation for holiday meals. Your family will work you into the nursing home and/or an early grave with all that work. Then most willl not visit you in the nursing home claiming they can't stand to see you ill. Others will visit you on rare occasions. Then they will cook their own food or find someone else to slave for them. If you are very wealthy and have household servants, have at it. I simply refuse to keep cooking things that must be stored and saved weeks ahead of time, as well as cook all day the night before, as well as right up to the time my meal is served on the holiday. Take care of you.❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@sonyasmith5405]

Hey girl. Made your chicken dressing last year. Everyone loved it! My dad and I are making it again this year. Thank you. You are an amazing cook. Keep on rocking!

[@popgas3821]

Hey, just wanted to drop by and say your cooking videos are real comforting. They are legit making me feel that my mom is around. Home cooking is just built different. That soul food recipe of buttermilk chicken, moist cornbread, green beans, candied yams and divine mac and cheese shall be my best treat to my parents for the upcoming Father's day. Thanks a lot! ❤

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i love that!!

[@marybarbary6118]

Old fashioned dressing using cornmeal is self rising meal,eggs,oil and carnation milk, and old school recipe.

[@melissagahn]

This looks so delicious. I could eat this anytime. My birthday is at the end of October. I have had a Thanksgiving meal for my birthday dinner. Then turned around and had it again on Thanksgiving. So so good. Thank you, Miss Camirra. Happy early Thanksgiving. PS: I have never had corn pudding either, lol guess I have to now. :)

[@voiceofclarity5585]

You are truly a Southern Cooking Goddess, Camirra! I haven't heard of nor seen cirn pudding since my childhood. (My family is from South Carolina.) This meal looks divine as always!

I LOVE your videos! My family isn’t as close as we use to be but these videos always make me feel like I am in the kitchen with the family like how it use to be. My favorite thanksgiving dessert is peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. I love how close ur recipes are to what I saw ppl around me use. I KNOW the food is good. Happy holidays!

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Adding turnip roots to the simmering greens is delicious also

[@angelakanteh6226]

That is the best cornbread mix on the market. It never fails. EVER

[@cdfdesantis699]

Some good ol' southern cookin' right here! Agree with what you said about the milk being "at the edge of life". Whole cow's milk is at peak flavor just before it goes bad, great for cooking. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@sallykelsey4041]

Love it that you use instant pot and air fryer...looks delicious

[@Onyxblue660]

I made the cornbread and dressing. I am very happy with the results. I also made the cranberry relish. OMGoodness! So good! Thanks for sharing your recipes. Blessings to you! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@BlushingAngels]

Hi Camirra! Loved this dinner! The only thing my family would be missing would be sweet potato casserole. I'll definitely be adding these to our Thanksgiving holiday feast and appreciate all!

[@marlies7444]

Everything looked so good. Glad someone else is using whole nutmeg, taste so much better. You should try a little bit in mashed potatoes, as well as in roasted or fried Brussels sprouts. But add it at the end, nutmeg can burn easily. A lottle goes a long way. And I love the addition of the bay leaf as well. I like to add a little hot sauce on the greens, Louisiana style or Texas Pete. My favorite desert would be pecan pie. But that apple tart looks very good. My contribution to Thanksgiving has been banana pudding for a few years now.

[@lovelynage]

Ive found that at 350 degrees for 40 minutes in the air fryer, it makes the best whole chicken. Maybe just 30 minutes for only the breast and wing part. The skin comes out crispy and the meat is super tender.

Hello and God bless you. I love your budget meal plan. Those greens look SO good. Blessed and highly favored! ❤

[@ThePinkpetals]

I usually soak and agitate my greens in a large stainless steel bowl with salted water!! And then, I lift them out of the water and boy-- you should see all the sand and dirt! Never just pour the water out back over the greens because you'll defeat the purpose of washing them-- and let tell ya, sandy, crunchy greens-- are the worse😝! Thanks for an inspiring video! I don't do the swine, so this was very exciting for me!

[@ThePinkpetals]

**"And let me tell ya" Opps🤭, I forgot to say that I rinse the greens very well after the salt bath.

[@tinawhite6585]

[@ksmill09]

I’ve not heard of washing greens in the washer, but I think it would be a good thing.

[@ericfile]

Thanks for such a concise, fun to watch, down to earth cooking video!!! Everything looks REALLY good!!! I love seeing how people in other places cook and the kinds of sides they have for holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I live in south Louisiana, so I grew up eating Zatarain’s products and Camellia beans--especially Camellia red beans EVERY Monday --since both are local products. 😉 I also grew up eating my mother’s oyster dressing on Thanksgiving--which I loved, but sadly have never been able to duplicate--and never had cornbread dressing till it was served on our school lunch tray, WAY back in the day when the cafeteria ladies actually COOKED real food!!! 🤷‍♀️ I fell in love with it and begged my mother to make it, but she never did because she said she had too many other things to make. 😭 She made so many other sides I liked that I got over it. 😂 I also never had corn pudding till a few years ago when I tried Michael Symon’s Almost Famous Corn Pudding and got hooked. My mother was an incredible cook, but not a baker--she didn’t like having to measure things to be exact--so her go-to dessert was always bread pudding--we always had pieces of French bread loaves leftover, so she’d save them up to make the pudding-- and serve it warm with whiskey or rum sauce. My mouth waters just thinking about it!!! So bread pudding is still my favorite, though I do love me some pecan (“puh-cawn”) pie. Thanks again for the video. I’m going to go back and catch up on all your other ones!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

thanks for sharing this about ur family! im sure wonderful memories!

[@ThePinkpetals]

mariemarie, I enjoyed the comment you made concerning the correct pronunciation of pecan ("puh-cawn") pie because when I first moved here-- I was saying it incorrectly! I cracked a huge smile when I saw how you put in parentheses!, LOL! I'm actually a city girl, with a country girl appetite. And it was here in South Carolina that I was introduced to 'okra' by my pastor's wife! I would never touch the stuff, because it just was too slippery for me-- however she fried hers-- and I was hooked! Now I eat it all kinds of ways the tender baby ones raw in salads, Fresh ones with Olive oil and a little butter with onions and garlic. Takes the slippery texture right out! And with some delicious corn bread-- yum!

[@ThePinkpetals]

I sauté the sliced sweet Vidalia onions and raw sliced garlic, with fresh or frozen okra, in a high wall 10 inch stainless steel skillet. I use either 2 tablespoons of Olive oil or Grapeseed Oil, and two tablespoons of Salted butter, and let it cook on #3 for 5-8 minutes flip, and season it with herbs da Provence and celery seeds and fine sea salt

[@justaplainspokengirl]

Camirra, you are SO fun and informative. No one gives the inside skinny like you. One thing I always include in holiday meals are mushrooms. Budget-friendly canned. Into the dressing and in the gravy. And for a few dollars more? Dry sherry to de-glaze and cook out for the gravy--unbelievable w mushrooms. And those walnuts you mentioned: I love crunch and toasty into the dressing. Or canned water chesnuts.

[@claudia2.1]

Great cook, great communicator & teacher! Thank you Camirra.

[@CartersEat]

Ok Camirra

[@martna1]

Not a fan of corn pudding but that looked good! I like dressing but since I'm alone and almost 72, I use Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing and freeze portions for a meal later on.

[@mariatorrini2293]

Wow! Girl you are amazing. Loved your video, all of the delicious foods you made with real ingredients. You nailed it. Love cooking those things too, and will borrow some of them this year. Bets yours are better. Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping it real. Hugs.

I made your dressing last year. BEST HANDS DOWN. I will be making it again this year!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

[@Leannie12B]

I make corn pudding with jiffy cornbread mix. the cornbread gives it a custard like texture

[@lynncain9822]

Pumpkin pie and pecan pie are my Thanksgiving favorites. These recipes are great. Thanks for sharing!

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

The absolute best collards I’ve purchased have been from Walmart. They were fresh, crisp, huge greens and I got 7 bunches, cooked all of them, and froze half for later in the year.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

your walmart produce department must be on point. i swear almost every time i go in there the greens are rough! haha

[@tiawilliams4461]

I always do my greens a week or two before the holiday, and freeze them, it’s easier and less time consuming

[@Suebhoney1125]

Great episode. And yes my mother washed hers in the washing machine when she got the crate to blanch to put up for the winter 😂

[@christineh7997]

Yes, I have heard about greens being cleaned via a washing machine, especially a top loader washing machine. It sounds crazy but it works, especially when there’s multiple pounds of greens to be wash. The washing machine is cleaned via a disinfectant wash before greens are put into it for cleaning. Yeah it sounds crazy but folks have done and do it.

[@conniecrews8462]

I'm going to give you a good holiday laugh!!! When I was newly married my insurance agent came by and saw I was loaded down with a pile of greens to put up! My mom never cooked greens much less put them in the freezer. He told me I could wash them in the washing machine so to save time I went for it!!! Needless to say,I was picking green bits out of the tiny holes for a week lol! Lesson learned!!!

[@audreacmp3334]

Everything sounds delicious...but for me no can soup in my Cornbread dressing, oh nooooo! Slices of toasted bread with the Cornbread is epic. Fresh oranges or mandarins in the cranberry sauce is a must....orange jello? Heck No. Love the Apple tart idea... much better than a soggy bottom apple pie. Not a bad budget meal.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

I use fresh orange in my non budget cranberry sauce. but i still use strawberry jello, its actaully really good. its taste nothing like jello. for a budget meal or any meal i can promise ppl will walk away very satisfied.

Good Lord, every time I watch your videos I'm starving after. Here's a good recipe for you I got it from the Neely's on the cooking channel when they had their show chocolate pecan pie, but I add something else to it I put a shot or two of bourbon period in my opinion it's better than regular pecan pie

[@jacquespoulemer3577]

Chef Camirra. This was great fun for me. When you said 'cook til you can't walk no more', I smiled big, because I cant walk no mo' (arthritis) but I still cook 😇. I'm 71 this year and have been cooking since I was 12, and my own mom was a good cook but nothing was magical. So (a bit like you) I slowly took over the cooking chores. With the Picayune Cookbook and Sandra Otto's Homemade (both 19th century recipes) and Julia Child on 1960s tv I learned how to cook. now Saving Money. I hope these tips come in handy for somebody out there. The liquid in canned food is perfectly edible and has the same nutritional value as the solid bits. I would have put it in my chicken stock. for Pie crust to taste good it should be at least half butter. the other half can be suet (beef fat) or lard (pork). I save all the fat trimmings from pork and beef and render them down. Bacon fat I use in savory cooking or for half the fat in biscuits. I also save all the veggie peelings cores and herb stems and collect it in the freezer til it fills a bag the size of my stockpot along with any leftover bones skin etc. when I make my own cornbread I like to put corn kernels in it and if I have canned corn I mix the liquid with dry milk powder for the liquid. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving 🦃and Christmas 🎅. All the best Jim retired Mexico

[@CamirrasKitchen]

loved this story! Thanks for the tips. i will try the butter lard pie crust combination. also love the tip of using the canning liquid from corn in the cornbread :)

[@Cathy-go6xe]

This has been one of my favorite videos. There will be 14 of us here for Thanksgiving and let me tell you this is what we are having

[@CamirrasKitchen]

That is awesome! for 14 ppl i think you will need to double the corn pudding and add an extra meat and more dessert. but the greens, dressing, and the rest of the meal will feed 14 ppl for a side dish.

[@Cathy-go6xe]

Oh yes, definitely more of it but this combination will be perfect!

[@christiesmith978]

You can add beans straight from the bag to the pot if you want to but you may be needing a dentist before you finish your meal.... dry beans and peas may contain dust, dirt or even stones. I wouldn't want to bite down on a rock for the Holidays. Loved your video, my dear. You have a knack for instructing others. Would make a great cooking instructor.

[@rsmith1820]

Thank goodness I cracked my own tooth tasting the rock & beans I was gonna surprise my mama with I was 12-13 years old Learned to examine & clean each bean like they were at a crime scene after that 😭

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

A couple of suggestions for variety: You can add a couple thick slices of ham or bacon to the peas and let it simmer together for flavor and remove it after or leave it as a surprise gift for a guest 😂😂

[@ThePinkpetals]

Turkey ham and/or turkey bacon for me😄. The pork hurts my tummy.🤢

[@pausemental]

I'm use to black eyed peas and okra but everything looked good.

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Try wrapping your chicken initially in the foil for the first 20 or 30 minutes then uncovering it to brown and base. The fat should render and it’ll steam in its own juices the first few minutes.
