Bunkey is so funny with his commentary and puns in this video. We need him and Steven (Mandy in the Making) to do a video together.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Agreed! They would be hilarious!!

[@bettyboop32]

GRRRRRREAT IDEA!!!!! Bunkey with his puns and Steven as the COMMONTATOR!!!!! 🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@jessicaodonohue

[@laurettaberger442]

I think that’s an excellent idea! 😊

[@AngusHenry09]

I would soooo love that !!! They are 2 of my fav cooking channels.

[@Michelle-ez3er]

Mr. Bunky...you are such a great example of a wonderful husband. You love your wife and enjoy spending time with her. Very respectful and funny too. You are both very lucky to have found each other. Happy Easter!

[@suebailey6893]

Dice the pepper pieces and add to the filling mix

[@pamguyton4597]

I thought so too!

[@jessicaodonohue]

Omg I LOVE this idea!!

[@roseanne3428]

We do carrots wrapped in bacon like that but we use hot honey on them!!!

[@jessicaodonohue]

LOVE the idea of hot honey!! YUM!!!

[@jojochamp01]

Your hair has been looking great, I agree; I will check out that product. I have curly hair and it use to be thicker in the past, but as of recently it has become fragile and thin. Thanks for your advice and all the inviting videos you post on a regular basis.❤😊 You two are a powerful couple, God bless the love of soulmates!

[@Spoke76]

Could be hormones?

[@vikkipetty22]

When making your Watergate salad mix you’re putting in your Cool Whip together first then add everything else and it makes it so much easier and a better consistency as you

[@leesashriber5097]

Bunkey is on it today😂😂 Hip hop😂

[@jessicaodonohue]

Hahahaha that was a good one!🤣

[@mintbutterfly10]

Jessica’s super power is motivating us all to be our best self and live our best lives 🙌🏻🥰💛

[@mirandatarlton3863]

My daughter and I got to the part where your Bunky told the joke and we were rolling!!!!! That was too funny. He had the recipe ideas and jokes this day!!! 😂😂

[@letitiawatson3969]

Hey my bunkeys loves I'm here .,.,Happy Easter I thank the Good Lord for my bunkys.muah

[@Lisaburner67]

Pecan are also good in the watergate salad

[@jessicaodonohue]

Ohhh Thats a great add in!!!

[@carriesessum2505]

My littles 5 & 7 love having mini bell peppers with either garlic and herbs or onion cream cheese and everything but the bagel seasoning sprinkled on top . For snack or a side with lunch !!

[@jessicaodonohue]

Love it! So easy and a great snack!!

[@ohhellobeautifulonecreations]

Tip for softening cream cheese. Put it in a glass of very warm water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You can do the same thing for a stick of butter also. Side note….keep the wrapper on when you do it. 😉 I use this hack all the time at work.

[@heidismidt6219]

You could also use hot honey instead of maple syrup 😊

[@kimbrown8755]

I've always put in cottage cheese in the Watergate salad. When the kids were little, they called it "Green Stuff". They are adults now and still do. It's their favorite at holidays.

[@joyce9523]

Do you substitute it for the coolwhip😊

[@jenhere9592]

You can always use a handheld mixer to smooth out the cream cheese.

[@sandradummer4726]

I agree.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Oh that’s a great idea!💛

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Mr.B is so funny and it’s great to see you both enjoying the appetizers.. the carrots looked amazing !! You both always bring such smiles to us all !!

[@jessicaodonohue]

Thank you so much sweet Friend! We sure do love you!!

[@shelleymccarty1955]

I've seen a hack to clean your ceiling fan take a pillowcase put it over the fan arm 1 at a time and close and pull all the dust gets caught inside the pillowcase so it doesn't fly around the room

[@bonniepwtf]

Wish I knew that 3 weeks ago😂

[@wheel.of.fortune1234]

Definitely going to try this.

[@jessicaodonohue]

That is a GREAT idea!!

[@AngusHenry09]

Sweet girl, use the toaster !!! My microwave broke so I set the package of cream cheese on top of the toaster and let it "toast." It softened after two cycles and voilá !!! Bunkey, HIP HOP !!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@patwiles330]

These are really good recipes to try. Love all your suggestions and comments.

[@livingawordfilledlife]

Bunkie was on point today! LOL. You could also put brown sugar on the carrots if you don't have syrup. Yummmm

[@g_laird3523]

Another thing you can do to quickly & gently soften cream cheese or a cube of butter, is to put boiling or hot water in a glass bowl big enough to set over your cream cheese or butter. Let the glass bowl get hot & then empty the water out of it & set it upside down over what you want to soften. Let it set there for awhile, maybe check after 30 mins & your cream cheese or butter will be softened without having to use a microwave. 😊❤ Love all your recipes. You two are so funny & adorable.

[@barbgriffin4969]

Have been making Watergate salad since the 70's

[@debbiecoyne]

I thought you were going to finely dice those pepper scraps & add it into the cream cheese mixture! You could also add some of that Boursin garlic & herb cheese to your cream cheese instead of adding all the other stuff. The Boursin already has the garlic & the herbs in it. That was just my thought! Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter! ❤❤

[@Tia-vj9ox]

You could use those pepper pieces to make a flower pedal pattern

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Gonna make those stuffed peps!

[@Tia-vj9ox]

I know that Watergate has been around for a long time. Now that it’s easy to get salted and shelled pistachios, I think I would like that! Love me some pistachios!

[@michellegriffin1994]

No cherries on the watergate but coconut flakes and nuts. Those bacon carrots look amazing!

[@ladonnapasco7551]

The bacon carrots look amazing and easy. Thanks

[@jessicaodonohue]

They are! You are welcome!!

[@amyniese4870]

Thank you so much!! Happy Easter to you all!!❤❤

[@jessicaodonohue]

Happy Easter💛💛💛

[@michelleelmore1875]

The "good vibes only" couple❤ love you guys and we all need a little more of you💖😇🧡

[@jessicaodonohue]

You are so sweet! ☺️Thank you!!

[@tracychason9960]

The peppers would be good hot as well! Keep the piece of pepper, fill the pepper pur the piece back on then wrap in bacon and put in the oven or air fryer!!!!!😊

[@heatherrose2272]

Happy RESURRECTION!!

[@sashcraft51]

The “baby” carrots killed it. ❤❤❤❤

[@hseeby]

The parsley garnish looks awesome. Good touch.

[@ginakinard6950]

Just made those “carrots” for a get together. I took the easy route and used a premade veggie cream cheese to stuff them. I cut the stem off the mini pepper, cut them in half and used the fresh dill as the carrot top so the whole thing was edible. Your filling looked delicious! Cannot wait to try those bacon wrapped carrots.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Aww yours sounds perfect!!🥕

[@debrabyrd592]

The bell pepper carrots so creative. I love these. Can’t wait to make

[@jessicaodonohue]

Aren’t they so cute!! And yummy!!😍

[@suzannemuliolis6066]

I'm sorry you guys, but when we were little, your bunkey was your butt...so when you guys call one another bunkey, I crack up! 😂😂😂Love how you guys work together...🎉

[@ruthannhendricks7614]

Loved both of kinds of carrots! Instead of the Watergate salad, we make a strawberry fluff with strawberries and cheesecake pudding mix and cool whip for Easter. Happy Easter! Love you guys!

[@jessicaodonohue]

That sounds AMAZING!! Yum!!!😍

[@user-qy1fn7xt2k]

Mr Bunkey, funny as always😅😅😅

[@jessicaodonohue]

🤣💛💛

[@maryannbutler4659]

Sprinkle the peppers with bagel seasoning.on top of cream cheese

[@mattandbarbhartt2860]

You guys are so cute! So excited to see an Easter video! Thanks!

[@tracym707]

💕😀 Thank you for sharing with us.

[@MoriahDiane]

My family makes chip dip that is 8oz cream cheese and 8oz sour cream, with garlic powder, onion powder and onion chives to taste. I omit the chives cause I'm not a fan lol. But we also use the cream cheese/sour cream as a base for taco dip as well. ❤

[@jessicaodonohue]

Omg the taco dip! That sounds so good!!

[@gwenfrazier7027]

Thanks so much! I was with my Mom and sister in law today planning what we were going to make. I can’t wait to surprise them with these!!❤

[@jessicaodonohue]

Awww fun!! Hope they love them!!

[@kimberlymckenna2587]

That color is so pretty on you Jessica! Beautiful! Love watching you and Bunkeys videos! ❤

[@stepheneunderwood6752]

I've seen the green cherries chopped and added to the Watergate salad.

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

Too funny! I came to your channel to get the Watergate salad recipe & here it was on your new Easter video. It is so good!

[@jennyscott8014]

I love Watergate salad, could eat the whole bowl. Try a watergate cake, yummy as well.

[@vjm1639]

those carrots have me drooling.....ok...just a suggestion to try, I do a similar recipe but not carrots, I use little smokies wrapped in bacon. So..with your carrots, INSTEAD of maple syrup, try rolling the carrots and bacon after it's wrapped in a mixture of brown sugar with a bit of cayenne pepper before you bake them. You'll have to anchor the bacon on the carrot with a toothpick before covering them. The brown sugar gives the syrup flavor and the cayenne gives it a little kick. Hope you try it.

[@user-cj9ed2dg8k]

Bunky adds so much sunshine to your light! Cutest couple ever! Love your interaction and of course, your recipes! ❤

[@marianbrinley4389]

I love the Watergate salad too!!❤❤❤one of my favorites!!

[@kellydeering5222]

This was so cute I had to make them for Easter today! Huge hit! I actually used whipped chive cream cheese and only had to mix in a little dill, sour cream, salt, pepper and garlic and it was delicious! I think the suggestion Bunky had was great to use the whipped cream cheese. I didn’t have to wait for it to get to room temperature and the fact it already the chive made it a bit of a shortcut. Thanks for the idea! Hoppy Easter 🐣

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

So this might be the first time I've ever been influenced, and I'm intrigued!! I'm trying this hair serum right away!! Between my MS and menopause, I'm losing hair at an alarming rate. I was just googling wig options. This serum might be my last option.... Thank you!! 💖💞

[@Spoke76]

@benjaminthetortoise I left a comment for you but it didn't go under your post.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Awww I hope you love it as much as I do! Its definietly worth a try!

[@kimproffer9456]

Thank you Bunkeys! I’ll definitely be making the recipes. Everything looks delicious as always. ❤❤

[@jessicaodonohue]

Hope you love them sweet friend!!

[@rebaburn2677]

"Hip Hop" hahaha

[@jeannecarroll9099]

I just made the bacon wrapped, maple glazed carrots. OMG that is the best thing I have eaten in a while. They are definitely going to be on my Easter table. I love you two. You are one blessed, happy couple.

[@user-wk4nt2ef6z]

I’ve made this just like this for years and years. Love to see an old fashioned recipe online. Can’t wait to try the carrot recipes especially the real carrot and bacon one they look very elegant to have on an Easter Table. Thanks for sharing. New Watcher.

[@vivandav67]

Y'all are precious..I want a Bunkey! ❤❤😅

[@terriwolf9171]

I never knew how to use that little tool! That was awesome.

[@JamieMarieKY]

I LOVE Watergate salad! It's a really old recipe that not many people make anymore. I still make it though because I love it! It's one of my faves!

[@GrandmaPatty49]

Recently my son in SC made an appetizer that was awesome! I’m not a person who likes spicy food, and I hesitated to eat one, but took a chance and now I’ve made them a few times. We’re in Virginia now at another son’s home, and I made them for them, and they were a big hit. When I’m home later today in upstate New York, it may be hard to find pimento cheese, so I may have to make my own. Anyway, here’s what we do: Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise, and take out the seeds. Fill each half with pimento cheese. Wrap a full piece of bacon around the jalapeño. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Or, as I did yesterday, I lined the pan with parchment paper, then placed a wire cookie cooling rack on top, and place the jalapeños on it. When you don’t put the wire rack on the sheet pan, it’s a bit greasier. Bake at 375 for approximately 30 minutes, but watch before, as they may be done sooner in different ovens. If you want the bacon crispier, maybe put it under the broiler for a minute before serving.

[@stephanie2]

Everything looks delicious

[@denarenee3198]

Love all of Bunkie’s jokes. lol

[@debbie3303]

We love Watergate salad. But no, we have never added cherries or coconut to ours. But I think we need to try it your way and see how it compares. Either way it is one of our favorites. Happy Easter!

[@sdjohnston]

Try brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cayenne instead of maple syrup on the carrots wrapped in bacon... yum!

[@jessicaodonohue]

That sounds right up my alley!! YUM!!!

[@andreaf5497]

I love watergate salad. I think I might have to make some this weekend. Those carrots look amazing.

[@laurenc9857]

Run the cream cheese under hot water few minutes to soften it 😊

[@patriciaparker-ny1wd]

Love the hippity hop. Lol

[@tsmith6250]

The carrots look so good. Instead of maple syrup think I'll use my new obsession, hot honey!

[@jessicaodonohue]

Omg yes!! That would be awesome!!

[@crawleyr4919]

Ooh!! Maybe get the light colored mini marshmallow thats fruit flavored !

[@jillmiklinevich3942]

You guys are the best ❤❤

Jessica I used the code and got my discount on Divi for the serum! Thanks muchly for this. My hair isn’t thinning but I really want to have a healthy scalp. You 2 bring me much joy as I am a Southern girl married to a Yankee living way way up North,

[@BlondeDuff]

I put my cream cheese package in a bowl of hot/warm water to soften. Also do that to bring eggs to room temp when baking if I forget to set things out ahead of time.

[@briankirkum1601]

My son takes the kinders butter garlic and herb and mixes it with softened butter for his grilled cheese. We love kinder seasonings in our house

[@dianamahar483]

OMG !!!! Every dish looks so good !!! I love the Watergate salad, yes cherries are a must !! ❤❤

[@user-nz2qg2mf3x]

Jessica, I use a grapefruit spoon to scrape out the insides of peppers, cucumbers, zucchini 😅

[@quinnhen2325]

Those carrots look incredible!!🥕🥕🥕

[@veverleycolding8095]

Thanks, I’ll try the peppers recipe for Easter!

[@diana100556]

We do that but roast them. So good!

[@joyce9523]

Carrots look amazing but they look so filling

[@user-pb6rl8tp9d]

we have the pink / strawberry version with little marshmallows

[@vickiepatterson1748]

I love the recipes!😍 The little carrot appetizers using the bell peppers are so good and very cute!😘 The cooked carrots with bacon and maple syrup look delicious!😚 We use the same ingredients for Watergate salad (but don't always use marshmallows), I love the coconut and cherries! 🍒 These are all nice additions to Easter dinner!🤩 Thanks for sharing another great video!🥰

[@jessicaodonohue]

So yummy!! Thank you for always being here!! Love you!😘

[@cherylgudde580]

Just a thought for the tiny bell pepper "carrots"...what about using a Borsine cheese as the filling!?! I thought it was what Mr. Bunkey was going to say when he was doing a great commentary!! I just think it would be sooo yummy with this particular cheese!! Love u both sooo much!! Alaska in the House❤❤❤

[@barbarajohnson83]

Great video you two! Happy Easter.

[@crawleyr4919]

Oh i loved that whipped cream salad. I was thinking itnwas a spin off ambrosia salad. No i need to look that up.

[@user-pv2uc3wf2v]

Happy Easter y'all.

[@helenwilliams8471]

Yum!! 😋

[@imnotliz]

Hey guys, my Aunt always made Waldorf salad and swapped out the mayo for whip topping. It’s delicious!! Give it a try. Again swap out the mayo for cool whip😉♥️. Happy Easter ✝️

[@maileiakealoha5775]

I usually have never seen carrets cooked like that , but my mouth started to water with the whole carrots wrapped up in bacon and maple syrup on top 😛❤

[@jessicaodonohue]

They were SO incredible!!

[@lisafleet6155]

I make this, except I use fruit cocktail and manderine orange slices

[@nikkidorsey2215]

My Mother made Watergate salad for every festival dinner. She added coconut and cherries too. I don't like maraschino cherries so I leave them out. I use Glazed walnuts and dried cranberries. Now I can't go to ba dinner without it!!!
