To take your hash brown casserole over the top, substitute an equal amount of French Onion Dip for the sour cream. It adds so much flavor and is delicious. I discovered this when my sour cream fell out of the bag and accidently got left in the trunk of my car overnight. We were having guests for dinner and I did not discover it until I was fixing dinner and I did not have time to go back to the store for more. I had a container of French onion dip in the fridge so I used it instead. It was so delicious that I always make mine like that now. I am in KY. Thursday/Friday we had Temps at 5 below zero with wind chills at -40 degrees. We got an inch of ice, topped by 4 inches of snow. Our roads are a horrible mess. Last night all 3 of our major interstates were shut down..I65, I64 and I71 has areas that were impassible. We are suppose to go to Moms tonight for Christmas Eve but if we can go will depend on if the roads are any better today. The crazy part is by Thursday of next week it is suppose to be 62 degrees.

Good evening! Your grands are so cute! So nice that they could stay with you today. You're going to have more help in the kitchen than you know what to do with pretty soon! I have been wondering how you fared through the storm, so I'm really glad to see you post a new video tonight. Our power flashed off momentarily last night, but it has stayed on since, thankfully. It is very windy here in Midland, same as you. It seems like the wind is dying down some now, but boy, is it COLD!!! I am getting a lot of new ideas from watching your cooking videos, so thank you for sharing your recipes. I wish I had a little more space for my pantry, particularly with the increasing price of everything. But I guess I must be okay with the space I've got, because I went to Meijer a few days ago and already had most of what I needed, lol. Good thing - it was crazy busy! Be safe & warm! Merry Christmas!

[@EbonyIvyThymewithLeona]

I had the absolute best time watching this video. Having your grands in the kitchen and home is exhausting, fulfilling, and such a blessing. We used to keep our grands everyday while their parents went to work. We served breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two years. I am thankful that they are in their own home but I do miss them being underfoot. Thank you for sharing this blessing.❤❤

[@cindynance7289]

Hey friend! I got my sister (she’s a shut-in) turned onto your channel and we’re both totally enjoying visiting with you. I know we’re way behind on all of your videos, but we’re catching up quick! Could you show us some of your freeze-dried goodies? I’d be interested in this way of saving foods! Your grand babies are the sweetest… and they are so at home with you and Papa… beautiful family!! Hugs from Ohio!

[@helenburrows3585]

I just discovered your videos today, and what a lovely first video to see of you cooking for your gran kids. They're absolutely beautiful and the youngest white hair is gorgeous. Seeing you altogether in a snow storm was lovely to see especially how they came to say hello friends. You could feel how much you love them through the screen with room to spare! Everything you made looked lovely and you made it look easy. It was especially interesting to watch you freeze dry the carrots. And everything you have in your pantry is something to be so proud of. So tonight I'm going to be watching all your videos to see if you explain more about your pantry and dry freeing. You have a new subscriber.

[@deborahherring6077]

[@Jomama02]

That's what Christmas Joy sounds like! A house full of children! In Ohio we didn't get but maybe 3" of snow but actual temp was -5° and wind chill was -35°. Haven't seen temps like this since the 80's! I'm having the same issues with my 2 humidifiers. They are bottom fill and I have such a difficult time of them if they get to low! They are only a year old so I can't go to the expense of getting 2 more top fills! With Scott's laryngetomy (he breathes through a hole in his neck) we must have a humidifier going most of the year!

The same mayo mixture is good with pork chops too. It is fine to add powdered Parmesan cheese along with other fresh cheese. Since the first time I made it, I’ve sometimes used other spices too depending on how I’m feeling that day. I also usually add S,P, and garlic/onion powder to the meat before I top it with the mixture.

[@jamiecook4557]

Love those babies! I hope to have a house like that one day. Little feet and big voices 💜 Hopefully your daughter made it back safe. I was just telling my daughter about the mailman’s creed today, because UPS and FedEx were called back. And I don’t blame them one bit, I spent most the day watching the house across the road disappear then reappear. Thank you for sharing a non egg based breakfast. I’m allergic, and it really stinks, because it feels like all that’s left is meat and pastries (so far, I can still tolerate those). I want something filling. So jealous of that biscuit pan, I love cast iron. What a wonderful blessing from your mom. She definitely seemed to have quite the assortment of kitchen items. After my dad passed this year, most of what I asked for was kitchen items. My big goal for this year will be my freeze dryer (Yes, “my.” Positive thinking, which is usually a struggle for me). Where I work, we do a similar recipe for the chicken, but we also add crunched up corn flakes on top. It’s extremely popular.

My husband, my oldest son, sister and her daughter and son and myself were traveling to Spruce Pine, NC to move my parents back to Texas in March 1993. We got as far as Nashville before the interstate was shut down. They reopened 2 days later so we headed to Knoxville …. 12 hours later we were just on the other side of Knoxville and found a school gymnasium that was open. We spent the night on the gym floor with blankets they provided and 2 meals…. Dinner and Breakfast…. We headed out the next day for Spruce Pine. So, to say the least…. I remember the Blizzard of 93 in Tennessee! And we still had to pack and load all my parents things in the biggest UHaul truck and drive it back to North East Texas! AND unload it! And my husband, son and I still had 7 hours to our home in west Texas! 😵‍💫😵‍💫 So I will NEVER forget the blizzard of 1993 in Tennessee.
