Your husband is a gem. You need to give him big Christmas hug. I love your channel.

[@HookedandRooted]

He is! I'm so lucky to have him. Thanks so much for watching Rhonda! Merry Christmas 🎄

Steph, my husband and I had the same agreement for wrapping gifts when he was alive. He’s been gone for almost 18 years and, that one of the I still miss the most ab bout our relationship. So in my eyes George is a good husband, a very thoughtful man. You have a wonderful relationship in doing projects. Relish this because not all marriages are as wonderful as yours.

[@Linda_Reed]

Yay!! Another Hooked & Rooted at home. Thanks for making these over the winter Steph, I enjoy them and look forward to these videos. That Rocco! What a sweet boy. Yes, yes I do have a bag of bags 😅

[@newt52864]

who doesn't have a bag of bags 🤣

[@Linda-gi8pr]

Hi Steph, I love these types of videos that combine some cooking and homemaking !

[@juliafiore120]

Hi, Steph 👋🏼 3:39 At this point, I haven’t watch through but, at this point, quick tip; you should add the beef broth to the dutch oven, scape up the bits and transfer to the crockpot. IMO.

[@Janie_Deer]

Your content is getting better and better. Today’s post was really fun, informative, and practical. Becoming even more of a fan! #teamgeorge

[@barbkenas5663]

First time I met Rocco, what a cutie 🐕🐾💞. The recipe looks delicious, might have to try it!

[@pamd1861]

Love these At Home episodes Steph. The roast looks delicious!! Love your apron too.

[@patriciaflores2776]

Loved this video ❤ thank you for the food recipe and cookies fast &easy I'm glad you met the author and he signed the book🎉 roco is so sweet 😊

[@grisespino5342]

A HoliDate! Love that ! You are so cute together and a great team 💞🍪🎁🌱 Love when you post Steph. Good to hear the garden sale went so well. Will look into Warren Leech and his book. Another delicious meal.

[@jennifergreene8891]

Hi Steph, George, and precious Rocko! Thank you for sharing the wonderful Recipes. And the tips for the cookies. They turned out perfectly. You definitely made me hungry. 😋😊 I too am not a good wrapper 😁 Love how you work together. 😊

[@bonniejackson7476]

I make this roast as well and onions under the roast. It’s always delicious.

[@LeslieHumen-lu2ix]

Perfect timing! I too was wrapping today, but it took me all day! Hubby was watching football. 😅 Way to go George! I also saved bags and boxes from last Christmas as well as delivery boxes throughout the year. I pick up paper and bows and cards in the after Christmas sales for next year. Thanks for a timely and interesting video, as always.

[@akruth12]

Rocco is so sweet...your home looks so festive..thanks for sharing Steph!! George youre a great sport!! Ox from NH

[@careygreene6730]

Such a cozy and warm video. Thank you for sharing the dinner recipe! Rocco is such a cutie.

[@rc-ki4uy]

I love this video, actually all your videos. Mississippi pot roast is a fave of mine. Rocco is so sweet! That books looks good. I’m putting it on my wish list!

[@Darceys_Flowers]

Warren is lovely, I met him several times at tranquil lake. Very knowledgeable in rare plants. I had that same thing happen to my spruce. I was baffled by it. Such a great explanation. The bird seed ornaments were adorable. Oh rocco tuckered himself out fluffing the couch then fell asleep 😅

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks so much! I agree, Warren is fantastic. And those bird seed ornaments are so fun! 😊

[@kclancy8128]

I like your Paris apron. 😊

[@mariacosta6086]

Rocco is sooo cute! I wrap just like George ..lol !Love what you made for dinner along with dessert. Great video.❤❤❤

[@soniewhitten4844]

great video. dinner looks delicious. thanks for sharing! hope you have a great day!!!

[@margaretlitchhult5034]

Did you get your roast at Aldi?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Margaret, yes, I did.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Such a wonderful wonderful video Steph 💞 I absolutely love your videos 💓 Rocko is just adorable 💞

[@chuckylamb4398]

Really enjoyed this episode. Many thanks.😘🇬🇧

[@karenholt9744]

This was a very enjoyable video. You and George make a great team and he wraps better than I do, too! I'm glad your garden sale went so well!! I made peanut butter cookies last week. 😂 I don't make a lot of cookies, except at Christmas; then it's usually 8-10 different kinds! 😂I don't even usually make peanut butter as a holiday cookie, but my sister developed a great recipe and I was craving it. Now I'm craving pot roast! 😂 Sorry about the breakfast haunt changing hands; that's always difficult. Hope you find a new breakfast place. 🤗

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Steph 🌺. I enjoyed watching this beautiful video .George wrapped the presents beautifully and your cooking is wonderful .We also make this meat recipe .The view of your neighbor cypress looks amazing . You got beautiful and interesting . Have agreat day .🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄

[@robertagrigsby9051]

Gotta love Rocco!!

[@lisagarner8261]

Rocco is a character!

[@pearlsofpurpose]

Awww❤he’s very cute

[@lindaga820]

Thanks Steph, so enjoyed this video. Will be making that roast ! That sale at your garden club looked devine. If I lived near you I would definitely have been there. 😊😊

[@JRP58]

Rocco is so cute! You’re pot roast looks delicious!

[@LaurenBoston59]

Such a nice video Steph and Mr. Assistant! I forgot all about yummy Mississippi pot roast and yours looks so delicious I quickly added a boneless Chuck to my shopping list! Glad to hear your garden club sale was a success! Really beautiful items. Those bird seed ornaments are adorable so I'll be watching for that video. Happiest of holidays to your family!🌲

[@renapunte6591]

Very nice warm and cozy holiday video . Always enjoy your videos. Love Rocko he’s so cute.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Rocco says thanks, too 😉.

[@debbiepeloso6012]

This was such a wonderful video, I watched it twice! That recipe sure looks delicious. Sorry your favorite breakfast place is changing hands. That seems to happen a lot here on the Cape. I also have a stash of Christmas shopping bags, etc. In fact I just sent my niece a gift in one of the exact bags you had shown! Quick tip when working with parchment paper Steph. Crumble in your hand first then lay it out. It will be wrinkled but will lay flat!

[@michellefrance1165]

I just organized my Christmas wrapping bag too, I use most of it up before getting any new as well. I only bought two small rolls for this year. Your Roco reminds me of my furry guy that waits patiently always lol!

[@barbb.9489]

Merry Christmas, Steph, George, and family! This was a fun video. ❤

[@asimpson6171]

I love Rocco content! My Italian greyhound Capri died 18 years ago and she loved carrots too. Rocco reminds me so much of Capri.

[@BobbyMammoth]

Love these videos Steph! ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄

[@josweatt898]

Aww I love Little Compton and it's a bummer your favorite breakfast place is closing ☹. I have a Blue Point Juniper that looks like something else is going on, but kind of like the look as it is nice and full. I made up some Peanut butter blossom dough and will wait for granddaughter to come unwrap the kisses for me. Your meal looks great as does the garden club offerings! Cheers and love your channel. PS My girlfriend is a stellar wrapper so she comes to help me out every year! (I help her in the garden)

[@susanlauer1098]

Great video! I love Rocco!

[@gloriaruiz2332]

❤

[@catgrl6698]

I am loving these at home episodes! My husband is the official wrapper, he like George has patience & is a perfectionist. That recipe looks great, I’m just wondering if it is too spicy?

[@cathycalvao3501]

So saddened to hear of the Barn closing. I go there for breakfast at least 5/6 times a year. Glad to hear that your greens sale was a success I wish I could have gone but I had previous plans. Will the WGC be having the plant sale anymore? I always enjoyed going to it in the past.

[@larrya3989]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ritasicari7518]

Next time deglaze your dutch oven with some of the beef broth to get up all the brown bits (flavor) that are rendered and pour into the crock pot. (If you're concerned about excess fat, use a fat separating measuring cup then pour the brown bits and broth into crock pot.)

[@HookedandRooted]

That is such a great tip, thank you Rita!

[@rosemarynewman1876]

I made that pot roast in the past and it was way too salty! I'll follow your recipe in the future.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Rosemary, I've experimented with it a bit to get it less salty. I find the low sodium gravy mix and only using half the packet of gravy, and half the packet of ranch a great balance. Also, not adding any additional salt while seasoning. It turns out perfectly 👌

[@rosemarynewman1876]

@@HookedandRooted Thanks for doing the experimenting! I really had no desire to make it again. But, your recipe sounds just right.

[@karenschrantz2307]

My friend Laurie was the first person to post this recipe! She was featured in The NY Times years ago. Her husband’s aunt made it up!! Yes, they are from Mississippi!

[@HookedandRooted]

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing the story.

[@summergirl15]

I really enjoyed this video very much and Rocco is adorable. Please remember to never, ever feed him food with any alliums such as garlic, onion, leeks etc. It will damage their organs.

[@laurac4572]

Did you say you got the nutcracker wrapping paper from dollar tree?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Laura, The elf paper this year, but yes, the nutcracker paper was also dollar tree, but last year. They have really cute papers.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Oh, don't cut the branch out of the tree. It looks so cool as two trees.
