Wow, this was so great. Ruth was so "welcoming" and friendly. My sister and I were just talking about the fact that families rarely sit around the table and hold hands to give thanks to God when eating anymore, so to see it and hear the prayer was just amazing. God is good! I hope Avery's wedding and marriage is blessed beyond her wildest dreams. Thank you.

Mrs. McKeaney has a warm and friendly approach. It is always great to watch "At Home With Ruth McKeaney."

[@southernman3406]

Ruth is the best thing on Homeworthy.

[@selfself8813]

The young lady who did the wonderful flower arrangement is absolutely gorgeous and so sweet.

[@juliehowell8251]

Lovely food, friends and prayer... Blessings❤

[@wilmawagler5058]

Sisters in faith… it looks beautiful…and the food o my!

[@debhalas3585]

I love watching Ruth’s videos. The ONLY complaint I have is the size of bowls used. I had anxiety watching the mixing of the chicken salad. Please just use a bigger bowl. But honestly I love Ruth’s life. Just beautiful

[@_diet_coke]

Ruth needs her own show.

[@janierossall7651]

The entire video is beautiful but the prayer at the end was the icing on the cake!!

[@maddiek1980]

Weddings are stressful times. As fun as they are. This video was actually really sweet and relaxing. Ruth has a wonderful attitude. On top of being a wonderful designer.

[@camuchanomellini903]

I LOVE THIS LADY 💖 I don't understand why some people did not think of her book as a great one to have. I had it on my amazon list after I red the reviews I was discourage to buy it. .....But! after watching her blogs I will go with my intuition which is telling me to purchase the book. I love Ruth's energy and she made this book with much love and great energy. So her book will be inspiring and a positive energy in my kitchen. 😃💖💖💖 LOVE YOUR BLOGS RUTH! THANK YOU 🩷🩷🩷

What a nice video. The food is beautiful. The flowers are beautiful. The women are beautiful and the prayer was absolutely lovely. ❤

[@kellyr2984]

Amen and amen...so fun to watch and be inspired! Thank you Ruth

Very lovely!❤

[@Gotree-6938]

So happy every time I see a new Ruth’s video!

[@angelagabhart4188]

The watermelon salad looks delicious! I'll be making that. As always, I learn something new and I love that Ruth shares her faith! So refreshing.

[@Bluegrassprincess]

I wanted to see how you got the tart out in one piece! I am the same as you, blueberries are now a daily obsession to my yogurt and homemade granola. I will have to try the watermelon salad! Please switch to avocado "chosen" mayo..Hellmans has Bio engineer ingredients and our bodies can not process it! Made in God's image has never been more under attack and our food supply is tainted. Wonderful spread and beautiful women of God! My kind of party! Congrats on the upcoming nuptials and marriage. May God Bless your union sweet gal!

Very beautiful sharing ❤❤❤

[@gladysperez8156]

I like the hydrangeas flowers arrangement. I noted the distinction between the mophead flower and lace cap flowers with the beautiful greenery accented leaves adjusted the vase that holds and it gives a delightful contrast. Mrs. Kelley teaches so effortlessly that it gives me the aspiration to learn to arrange flowers. I appreciate this video. I don’t know about anyone else’s but every time I see any video of Mrs. Ruth McKenzy, I lean something. Thank you.🙏

[@carolwong9279]

Always enjoy Ruth's inspirational videos. Thank you ❤

[@lynnthow1650]

Such a sweet episode! I love the beautiful flowers and the beautiful blue glasses! Thanks, Ruth, family, and friends!💙

[@debbiem6406]

As a Christian and follower of Jesus for 45 years, I loved the prayer at the end. To those commenters who were adverse to her “religious” addition of praying, it’s actually opposite of being religious, but all about relationship.

Had to laugh when you got your daughter’s name wrong😊 I have been known to keep going naming other children ( we had 10) and sometimes even say the dogs name. On particularly bad times as the child is looking at me incredulously I have said “ you know who you are!!”😂

[@sharonc1326]

Yay! I click fast when I see a Ruth video! ❤

[@NaturallyTi]

I really enjoy this channel and the lovely decorated homes that are featured. I especially appreciate how you show people from so many different backgrounds. I get a lot of inspiration for my own place. Good job 👍🏽

[@gina5827]

What a lovely luncheon. The flowers are beautiful and the setting perfect. The food looks delicious. 😊 Love the Ruth episodes. I agree with one of the commenters that Ruth needs her own show!! 😊

[@celinefederici6951]

Using a variety of garden greens makes for a more interesting arrangement. FYI: Oasis is not good for the environment so I will not buy it again. The good news is there is now eco friendly oasis. I usually do like the Japanese do for Ikebana and use a metal kensan or flower frog. That was the quickest and most delicious looking blueberry tart ever! and I liked the addition of fresh blueberries on top. I have an Italian oven and for some reason, one cannot use aluminum foil in the oven! Fortunately, a recipe for poaching that I have uses parchment on the bottom and then a greased a top layer of parchment to put over the chicken and tuck it around. I just started shredding chicken for chicken salad and I do believe it tastes better. Lots of little tips were offered and so nice to see your daughters helping out.

[@selfself8813]

The watermelon, etc. salad was a sensation on the internet last year. Ours also had cucumber, no arugula. It is a wonderful marriage of different flavors. We bought the feta from a Greek man at the local farmers market and it was much creamier and milder than store bought. It made the salad even better.

[@brendaparker6766]

My fav on Homeworthy! Love all of it!❤️

[@karenberg4903]

Love, love, love Ruth & her Homeworthy video's🥰! Simply so relaxing & inspirational, too. Thank you😘

Beautiful episode Ruth! Your daughter is lovely! Thank you!

[@rebekahfranks4205]

Lovely. Great recipes.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

How lovely to be able to start your own business , with the history of her mom. I am sure when Mom retired , she referred her following to her daughter! And that Mom can step in and help for special occasions, like your daughters wedding. Love the ribbing on the delicate little bud vases. I was going to say.. there is no doubt in my mind , that you can do incredible arrangments. You have a natural eye for composition and color. My friend who makes a killer chicken salad uses a food processor to shred her chicken to her desired consultancy..chuncky or smooth. I do add celery seed also and chopped glazed walnuts.. and serve it on mini croissants.

[@angelamonson]

Ruth is so kind....to young and silly...she gives an opportunity.

[@MimiYouyu]

I add pecans pineapple tidbits and red onion as well as the grapes and celery to my chicken salad, and I always get so many compliments, and everyone wants my recipe.

[@mt1885]

[@carolyna.2527]

The blueberry tart looks amazing. Adding cinnamon to the chicken salad is a new one for me to try. I like to add chopped pecans to my chicken salad. Thanks for sharing.

[@debstrunk892]

Think this is beautiful and very welcoming luncheon!!!! 🌸🌸. Would totally do something different for salad 🥗 bowls!!! Beautifully done

[@rofegan6028]

I have re used oasis for years. They dry thoroughly and are ready for the next project.

[@celinefederici6951]

They get big holes from the flower stems so I am surprised you can use them for yrs. Also FYI they are not good for the environment so I will not buy again. The good news is that they now sell eco friendly flower foam or use a metal flower frog...kensan in Japanese for Ikebana...they never use oasis.

[@bettywest7997]

I learned so much. Beautiful setting. One question though. My chicken salad after time gets watery. I don't know if it is the grapes or pineapple I sometimes use? Any suggestions?

[@cherylholliday2454]

simply lovely

[@user-wh9vj1th3u]

Aww, Ruth, I appreciate you so much. I also have five children, but they’re all girls. Right now? They are 13-19 years old, so five teenagers at once. I envy your ability to do the things you’re doing now, but it seems your kids are a bit older…so I will be patient and enjoy the blessings of this season as much as I’m able. 😊 Also, I’m very interested to check out your cookbook. I love curry chicken salad, but don’t have a recipe. I call my kids the wrong name sometimes too.

[@catherineparr1927]

Instead of using Oasis/Florist foam, which is incredibly bad for the environment, try using chicken wire that you can mold into the shape of the vessel you are using. It can be re used multiple times. Or buy flower "frogs" which you can buy in good florists or I believe Amazon does it too. 🥰

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

There are a lot of things to grasp in here. Great job ❤❤

Oh, I love these videos with you, Ruth so much!!! Thank you for those! I wanted to suggest if possible, could you please make a video on organizing your home and keeping it tidy. I am very passionate about this topic and I wonder how you keep this big house so neat and organized. I will greatly appreciate such a video.

[@ae-hv9kc]

The floral arrangements are lovely but it would be great if you used something other than oasis (there are options!) - most florists are not using oasis anymore as it is very bad for the environment. 😊

[@cindytilbert1403]

Ruth doesn't listen well she likes to be the boss.

[@naomiweaver1855]

That’s a little hard to watch. I had to stop. The host keeps interrupting the flower designer, and speeding through everything. If time is an issue, then maybe some editing will help.

[@NataliaMendes-e4x]

all very lovely, but the oasis is a big problem for the environment as it does not break down, chicken wire is one option, there are many. please consider other options.

Why not let HER go ahead and DO IT?????

[@kcmodomkcmo673]

It can be difficult to focus on content/message at times. Cooking chicken salad is not that strenuous! Your actions show people you know what you are talking about, but at times, your actions diminish your credibility. You're making a large amount of chicken salad; get a bigger bowl. Shredding chicken-great, you provided a tip, but God made hands before he made tools. There's nothing wrong with using your hands to mix big batches; restaurants always do it. Glove-up! If these are genuinely your recipes and you always make them for your family, most people know them by memory. There's no reason why you need to keep plugging your book for each vignette. Are you here to sell your book or show the audience the ease of making your recipes from your book?

[@DevelopingStartups]

Ma'am calm down..why are you making a mountain out of a ant hill? Do you not have anything to do? Losing credibility because she didn't use a bigger bowl?😂 Your comment is so off putting. I can't imagine if your like this in real life or it's the internet you

[@kcmodomkcmo673]

@DevelopingStartups, there are some people who are comfortable conveying a clear, precise message with our actions. We have EXPERIENCE. I can't be too far off my rocker if others like my comment, and it sparked me to take the time to conjure a reply. Stage left is right around the corner, or you can start developing startups with other pretentious people. I just love the handle and the hype of labels; "I am boss" personality.

You've got to be kidding. Welcome to America...the country founded on Christianity. Ruth is an amazing all American Christian woman living a lovely life. Prayer doesn't need to be hidden. If it's so offensive to you, then don't watch.

[@loridamico3368]

If it were a Hindu or Muslim family saying a prayer would you be as offended? Probably not.

[@KM-vq4wg]

What a ridiculous comment; why should you care if someone practices their religion or says a prayer? Turn it off if you don't like it. So tired of snowflakes offended by every little thing that doesn't fall in line with their own personal feelings or beliefs. Get over yourself.
