Gracie is 18 years old so I'm not going to worry that the cheese is bad for her. Sheesh.

[@bsouthmama3010]

I know. Can’t believe some people are causing a stink over it. Smh. Like, she knows what’s best for her cat. Like u said, she’s 18.

i’m from texas and for us frito pie is something a bit different. you get small bags of frito chips and cut open the side. then top it with chili (no beans), cheese, raw onion, jalapeños, and pretty much whatever else you want. When I think of frito pie I always think of the state fair or carnivals. it’s such a nostalgic treat!

[@saravannorman5347]

What you described is what we call “walking tacos”. My family mostly has it when we go camping. Great with a small bag of Doritos too. (I’m in NY state)

[@bethinbama]

My husband says that he used to get frito pie as a school lunch growing up in Texas.

[@Ciaransworld]

From California here. And that is the Frito pie I grew up with. Makes me crave one right now! I've also heard it called a walking taco.

[@electricpenguin32]

[@pattibentley7585]

You guys are too cute. I love the truthful down home style. You are a great couple together. Love your recipes. Gracie Lou is precious. I had Aunt LouLou as my fur baby. Keep up the great recipes. I'm trying the fritos pie. Catalina crunch makes a great snack, keto and no artificial ingredients. 🤗

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Patti!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you! ♥️

[@karigould3303]

My precious late husband was a walking encyclopedia. Our daughters and I made good use of his knowledge, too. Whenever we'd ask him something, he always knew the answer. We were riding home from work one evening and I asked him a question and he said he didn't know. I just knew that he had the information so I must have asked the question wrong. So I asked him again, rephrasing the question. Again, he said he didn't know. After a couple more times of rephrasing and asking, he turned to me and said, "Kari, what about 'I don't know' do you not understand?" He's been home with the Lord for many years now, but our daughters and I think of that often and laugh our butts off.

[@andonmarshall2766]

❤️ your channel!! and what a awesome family 😌 and very good cooking what else can you ask for 😋 God bless 🙏 and keep doing what you are doing will always watch ☺️

[@zullo3529]

I’ve never made frito pie. It looks pretty good. I’m sure Steven will love it once he adds his hot sauce! Lol. I loved the Q & A. You need to do more of them. It was good to see Cole. What is he doing now? 🌮🌮Thanks Mandy and Steven.

[@lisahoward1969]

I love the information you share about your life so we can get to know y'all better. Y'all are so sweet and genuine 💕 I will be giving that frito pie a try soon.

[@dkingston9946]

I love when Gracie Lou makes cameos in your videos because she looks so similar to my own 18 yr old Cat!! We had to say goodbye to her last October and it was so incredibly hard, I miss her everyday ❤ My girl was a cheese fanatic too!! 🥰 🧀

[@rachellee.9389]

Oh, our little Clawed was a cheese lover, too. And he lived to 18, as well. Who's to say that the cheese doesn't make them live longer?

[@jillr759]

Oh that hurts! I’m sorry.

[@SeeMindyMom]

I know exactly the Honda you were talking about! My 1st car was a 1988 acura integra hatchback. It had 93K miles on it when I got it, and we called it the "tin can" because it rattled a little on the highway at high speeds. LOL!

Thank you Betty!

[@texasstardust6010]

...My kitty ( Baby ) l o v e s cheese , and she gets some as well, and it's not going to do harm, unless it's " everyday ", with a good amount of Cheese. She is like Gracie Lou , ...she knows when there's cheese... as well as Bacon. Chix. Tuna. Salmon. ... ok. ..so, there's a list .. 😉😁😄. I just adore Gracie, she looks almost like a kitty I had previously... they could be siblings. Really enjoyed the Q and A..... :) I also recently Left you a comment that if you put that onion in the freezer for about 5 to 7 minutes, you won't be shedding tears either.... lol. I always enjoy your Videos and when your Channel came up as a Recommendation, I decided to watch. I like the " Subbie Supper " that you do , ....I may just do a Recipe or two! ( I had done that on Miss Ambers Channel " Feeding the Byrds", and she shared my Recipe.... which was so neat. It was a Recipe for " dips and Entertaining " type of food.) I know your Channel blesses many ...and not just " with the food you make ". ... May your Family be abundantly Blessed in return. 🙏🏻✨️🙂😊💜

[@pattyrochlitz1680]

I was so happy to hear how you got Gracie Lou. My hubby and I got a kitty from an abusive home. He was so traumatized that it took 4 months to get him to come out from under the bed. We have had him for a year and a half, and he is still terrified of all other humans and all animals. I feel so bad for him, but he does think I am his mama, so he is with me all the time. He finally got close to my hubby at about the 1 year mark. So now he has a mommy and a daddy! We love him to the moon and back!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Awwwww thank you for sharing! So glad your kitty has a wonderful home now 💖

[@charlottekearn5185]

Steven and I both like Mr. Ballen, I love those weird stories and he's the best storyteller. This was a great video, I love when people share their lives. I didn't realize that Gracie Lou was an older cat, I thought she was young.

[@lyssalove5081]

I also thought Gorgeous Miss Gracie Lou was just a young little chickadee as well! No wonder my Beautiful, Big Boy Tinkee, the Maine Coon kitty (who is almost 16), perks right up and takes notice of that beautiful Princess when he hears her sweet little meow, requesting “More Cheese Please, Miss Mandy!”. 😂😆 He’s got his eye on a Cougar! C’mon over Miss Gracie Lou, Tinkee would love to share his treats with you and he’ll let you have ALL the cheese if he can have the Whipped Cream or Frosting! 🐾💗🧀🧁💙🐾

[@phyllisschapiro7894]

Hard cheeses (like cheddar, parmisan and the like) have very little lactose. The softer cheeses have more. That's why your madam has no problem with what you give her. Dunno about mozzarella, tho.

[@nymerias9383]

In New Mexico we do Frito pie different. We will use meat & beans etc. But we put new mexican red Chile, instead of Texas style chili. Also we make our own bowls, rather than putting in the oven. Also put lettuce tomato onions yumm.

[@majo3423]

Our Texas frito pie is just this: put Fritos in your bowl, cover with chili, top with cheese❤

[@bonniekerr6890]

That’s the truth!

[@marsha8622]

Enjoyed the Q&A. You two are so cute!! Frito pie, so different in the west US. Here it is basically a bag of Fritos, canned chili ( or hot dog chili), cheese, onion etc. Have never made a casserole dish like you did. It's individual bags or bowls and add your own toppings. Our kids use to have it in the school cafeteria lunch once a week.

[@lissahammond2249]

This was a fun video. I didn't want it to end! ❤️

[@elaineh7993]

You 2 are so cute! When my hubby and I argue, we usually just forget about it. Years ago I wouldn't talk to him for days! Now we just don't ever hold a grudge. We have been married coming up on 37 years. To much trouble to go through to stay mad! My first car was a 73 cougar. Guy magnet! My hubby says he's gonna buy me one but I'm to old (50"s) to want one now! Lol! I liked it when I was 18 and enjoying life! I still say Steven looks like a young mr. Edward's from little house on the prairie. He was my favorite actor on there!

[@sherrywilliams409]

That was a very fun q&a. You guys are great together. You feed off one another. And you both are natural in front of the camera! And this ain’t yo mama! Lol That frito pie looks soooo good. And it’s easy. I like that. I have been thinking of ways to spend a little more time with one of my sons. So, I’m going to start cooking lunch for him some. That way when he takes his lunch hour from his job he can come here to eat and save money from eating out. Thanks for helping me with my first recipe for that! I do have two other sons but they work too far from me to drive in an hour and eat and get back. So I’ll have to think of something else for them which involves cooking. Mandy, you remind me of someone. You are very familiar to me for some reason. Seriously, your mannerisms and everything about you is so very familiar!

It was so nice to hear how Gracie Lou came into your lives, especially now (9/23/24). As to Frito Pie - in West Texas we always put the corn chips on the bottom and the chili mix and cheese on top to soften the chips a bit. But to each their own.

Ahhhh, I knew there was something familiar about Steve. I am a retired software developer. I was a self taught programmer in the language called APL with stands for A Programming Language. Command functions are Greek Symbols, but it is the most powerful and mathematical language in the world. Took me 6 months to learn on a 360K memory computer. Later I worked 18 years for a Blue Cross Blue Shield company. I implemented a program in Jan. of 2000 that is STILL running nightly for 2 - 3 hours per night. Anyway, great to hear your line of work. I was never bored even 1 second of my 30 years of software programming. Loved my job and still miss it.

This was such a sweet video. I watched that video you linked where you talked about how you met. Very heartwarming story…❤️ As for frito pie, I remember it being a “thing” back in the 70’s when I was in college. I remember liking it, too. But I’ve never made it during my married life-44years! My husband likes spicy things, so I will have to ask him if he would like for me to make it for him sometime. I will have to use plant based “cheese” since he’s dairy free now, but I’m sure he will love it. Thanks Mr and Mrs Common Tater for a great video!

[@deniseheninger5303]

Watching your video was like going down memory lane... I used to live in Flowery Branch, Georgia and shopped at the Food Lion in Oakwood. My husband and I met on a blind date.

Mandy, do you know the trick about lighting a candle right beside where you're peeling/chopping onions? It. Works. I have a little votive candle I keep on a steel spoon holder on the stove. I pull it over to the cutting board, light it, then start. I have chopped a crockpot FULL of onions with no reaction doing this! That's how I caramelize my onions ;)

Hello Mandy, I just placed an order with Catalina crunch and your code says no longer available. Just wanted you to know. I love all your and Stevens video's. Love Gracie Lou too.

I'm from HHI originally but haven't been home in a looooong time. I actually said Old Oyster Factory and The Main Street Pub about the same time y'all did! Lol

As a former direct seller I just have to ask Mandy why did you leave Mary Kay? you had a Cadillac I’m sure you worked your tail off. That’s amazing!

I absolutely loved getting to know you better I had 2 Kitty brothers that I actually helped deliver from a rescued stray who birthed 9 kittens--all survived! Amoss lived to 13 and I lost Andy right before the pandemic shut down at 20 years and 4 months. They were my only family and I miss Andy especially terribly now. Both of them loved sweets and cats aren't even supposed to have any kind of sweet tooth whatsoever and both loved cheese. cheese is not what killed either one of them so if Gracie's 18 years old let her have cheese. My boys ate way more than you give her. The Secret to their long lives is lots of love a good vet and making sure they're eating quality food and getting plenty of water. You are my favorite youtubers

Hey guys! You answered my question, even though it was asked by someone else lol what is Steven's profession?? You guys are so awesome together, its my fur baby Tiggers bday! He is 3 years old and he is more human than cat, i swear! Lol.

I'm curious, do you still use Mary Kay products? I've been thinking about going back but haven't decided if I want to fool with it.

[@chrissynes3553]

Oh wow Mandy, we are so similar. I was a pharmacy tech, sold Mary Kay (no pink Cadillac), and I have a JJ (my son though). 😊

I love Gracie Lou. We lost our Opie to the same thing as your JJ/Jay Jay. My husband absolutely sobbed. We all did. Gracie is precious. We have a Phoebe Lou. Enjoy you all so much.
