Meaghan, you had said in one video “if you haven’t had a fresh potato right out of the garden, you don’t know what you’re missing.” Well! We dug just a few of our Yukon golds last Friday, cooked them up, and I was so proud. My first time growing potatoes. 👍🏻 Even my husband was impressed! 😂 so glad and grateful you all are ok. So many prayers for the people in West No Car and Tennessee. It sounds just awful. If you find a reputable, honest place where we can donate, please post it. Thank you. Hugs from So Cal. 🥰

Good point. Caring Americans always wanna help, but prefer small, local, ethical charities.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

👍🤣🤣👍Megan goes IS IT !! Looks like Andy is the official corn picker. Poor guy got out numberd and didn't even know it👍🤓👍. Nice job Andy 👍🤓👍.yr corn timed out perfect to have corn to eat on before the other. Much ❤ from here in Michigan y'all 👍❣️👍

[@MelissaMounts]

I love all your videos! I never seen a sweet potato that big in my life. I love sweet potatoes but I think 2 or three people can eat it

[@barbaramccune9383]

I did peel mine the I but them in jars when ready lite syrup man they was good

[@joejackson3415]

Hope all is well there ❤.

[@breesaves]

You guys are just so knowledgeable! I always learn something and it sounds so soothing with yall's accent LOL

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Morning y'all 👍🤓. I've never tried it that way either. Usually treat the sweet potato as you would a squash in one inch cubes🤔 interesting, thanks for sharing. With loss of power lately I've Ben pressure canning versus freezer. Too much to chance if power goes out. I like sneaking in some sweet potatoes in mashed potatoes 👍.

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Great job y'all 👏👏❣️🙏❣️glad y'all got missed by the storm. Up here in Michigan the past few days we've gotten the winds here

[@DebraMorris-q6r]

Hello from cool sunny Oregon You can do it ! It’s not hard, you’ll love them later😊

[@DebraMorris-q6r]

I use them as the topping to my shepherds pie, pretty tasty

[@pattilemonhouse7911]

😯 oh! That sounds pretty good.

[@TheVicjbaldwin]

I've only done that once, boiling them first, from that messy kitchen time, I peel, chop, jar and can.

[@sandysmith8567]

A potato peeler really helps that process go fast!

[@Susan-n3o3e]

Another great video. I’m glad you guys are all safe and sound. Your supper looked delicious.😋

[@kimstone103]

Megan your meals don't have to match, we eat what we got the hankering for whether it goes together or not. As long as it's filling, that's all that matters😂. Your supper looked delish. Love me some sweet potatoes, pot of beans & some cornbread you gotta meal. Glad y'all are ok

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I don’t put pecans on my casserole because my granddaughter doesn’t like it with them on top or even in the casserole

[@donnakennedy3096]

Hi Megan, I’ve canned sweet potatoes for years . I just peel them and cube , put in jars cold pack with water pressure can for 90 minutes for quarts. And they are fine. Hope yours turn out great

[@LuellaLane-d6n]

Luv watching your videos! Glad the kids wasn't there when tree come down !!

[@submarinechef5140]

Happy to see you guys are ok, definitely praying for all effected by the storm

[@LesaMejia]

I live near the sweet potato capital of the world . Vardaman, Mississippi.

[@nativelumbee1221]

[@annettegregg8654]

Good evening from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@dwightmoss7919]

Don't use the ball book I have canned several taters (Experience) I do about one half inches pieces Water bath one hour If you pressure can them they get to soft

[@vickiechapman5205]

Thank God the kids are ok

[@karenwhitehead2999]

I put cubed sweet potatoes or butternut squash in turkey chili instead of beans for something different. It’s good

[@sandysmith8567]

I tried adding a small one to beef stew. Kinda surprised, but liked it!

[@rubytaylor4566]

Hey yall, Thank yall are OK. I'm going to try canning canning sweet potato's! Your supper as usual looked so Delicious Praying for everyone!😊❤🙏 Ms. Ruby

[@lauren2196]

Meghan, when you pick corn just pop a kernel with your finger nail. If the liquid is milky it is ready.

[@marilynwitherell186]

I have the same sweet potato recipe from my friend that came from Asheville NC, Very tasty recipe.

[@GinaPitzer-tp3cc]

My mouth was watering for fresh sweet corn and sweet potato casserole! Blessings to your family! ❤

[@brendaduignan5961]

Yay!!!! I want more than 1 shirt, I live in t shirts, got a few from Alaska also.

[@deborahh2165]

Yikes I'm soo glad the tree didnt fall on any of you! Oh my gosh, those sweet potatoes are huge! I saw them when you harvested them, but wow! They look even bigger now that you're cooking them! :) That casserole looks great! I always just make them on the stove with brown sugar and butter, but that looks great! My daughter in law is going to LOVE that T shirt! She's WV appalachian. I've just adopted appalachia for some reason, but I'm getting one of those shirts for myself too! 😀

[@elaineb3215]

Meghan I'm intimidated by some recipes that I want to try, but I like the way you just do it. The meals you fix takes me back to my grandmother's cooking and there's nothing like it. Enjoy your week you and the family.

[@dee2busy]

I can sweet potatoes 2 ways......one in a light syrup and the other just plain. If I want some thing sweet....it's the syrup. Pies etc. Plain one I use as mashed potatoes or in a casserole. Either way you can't go wrong.

[@oldskoold22]

I love the potato skins, both Irish and Sweet taters.. Couldn't you just leave them on?

[@JANSFAMBAM7]

Hi Megan , Thank you for showing me how you Can your food and make your Sweet Patatoes an make a Casserole. Hi Andy l see you grilling ! Cheeseburgers for dinner , I enjoy your channel and your Sweet Children are hard workers

[@mousemeat1352]

So grateful you all came thru the stor. Ok, God's blessing and we pray on for all. Cannot wait for your shirts to become available will be my first merch purchase ever and it will be your things. Thank you for your content.❤❤❤🎉❤

[@pattilemonhouse7911]

I don't buy my fella's tee shirts from box stores, generally. The last 2 I got were from a trout derby he was in and a mother/daughter mobile coffee hut. I think one from you might be nice. His birthday is in November. Make sure you have enough XLs. 😊

[@barbaranoel6118]

Have you thought about doing the Florida weave on your corn to keep it from falling over

[@peggetennant]

I was waiting for you to come on this morning. So happy to hear that you are OK. Supper looked real good to me. Made me think about Thanksgiving.

[@barbaraweber3084]

You can cook them with your other potatoes and mash them makes a beautiful thanksgiving presentation (because the mash potatoes have an tint of orange).

[@annsandstedt5264]

Glad to see that you guy's didn't have any damage from the hurricane. We are in SW Florida. Lots of wind and rain. Our beaches got it bad again.

[@amybartley4592]

The sweet potatoes look good! I can sweet potatoes in a syrup with spices and they are ready to heat and serve! Keeping the beautiful south in our prayers! ❤️

[@AngelaG-yo3cy]

Everything looks so green. Beautiful 💚 Glad you all faired thru Helene up here in the Ohio Valley we got hit good. I have 4 Hugh oaks back of my house with their feet in the creek so any time winds blows I'm a praying. Love you guys ❤️🩷💙🩵

[@FarmLifeAlabama]

Great job Meaghan👍canning your Sweet Taters. 😀

[@jamespuchaty6393]

I'm going to peel mine first and then pack them in the jars and then I'm going to put them in a canner

[@submarinechef5140]

Stupid question doing my own compost can I use the husk from the corn and cobs in composting

[@katrinagarland5219]

Wish you would be so kind as to put the recipe you make that day in the comments. That way we can copy and paste it real easy. Thanks... can't wait to make this. :)

[@alyssacornett3854]

Since they are so soft, maybe you can mostly use them in baking. Like pie, bread, cookies, biscuits. Stuff like that sounds delicious 😋

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Andy and Megan it breaks my heart that Asheville got so much water damage and then the insurance isn’t wanting to pay for some because they didn’t move their camper a 100 feet away from where the water came in but since it flooded so bad how could they know what to do

[@denisemusicnut]

If that sweet potato casserole tasted even half as good as it looked, it must have been extraordinary! I noticed one advantage of boiling the sweet potatoes before peeling and cutting them is they’re much easier to cut! I thought that looked like a fine meal! Those were perfect grill marks on the burgers!

[@anncox4445]

Yes, prayers for all the people who have been devastated by the storm 😢 oh, I made your strawberry cheese cake recipe. It was delicious, thank you ❤

[@EmbracethechaosPortugal]

I notice you dont put any kind of seal on your pressure canner and dont put anything on the rim..is this a normal thing? Ive no idea as originally from the uk so only use waterbaths.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Megan I made a sweet potato casserole yesterday from sweet potatoes I had baked and frozen in my freezer and it was so good

[@samlarue2059]

I would love to see Andy Cook a complete dinner meal

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I was gonna say those tree branches were going to be heavy from the rain but you got it Andy

[@steven14harper87]

Wonder if you use a dishcloth to rub the peeling off.

[@delphine88313]

gul ( girl, lol) them some BIG potatoes! 😅😅❤

[@thevictorianedge5465]

I canned sweet potatoes last year and I was so glad I did. This will be a repeat for me❤❤

[@HuberRhonda]

Great Video as always! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@marieparks5674]

Yum, love sweet potato casserole

[@lowespringacres7838]

Those taters look pretty.

[@christinec8818]

Glad you all are alright

[@brendaduignan5961]

Those are the biggest sweet potatoes I have EVER seen! Glad you're all OK, you are all much loved.

[@brendaduignan5961]

The Lord takes care of his own, there are a lot of folks out there that need to find Jesus and not wait too awfully long.

[@vickiechapman5205]
