[@alicethomas6472]

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Amen, thank you so much!

[@Jean2DaBean]

Hi Momma Mel, I've been a silent viewer but I wanted to let you know I appreciate you. I love how genuine you are, for example you made mexican street corn before and admitted you just didn't like the flavor of those ingredients together, other cooking channels will claim to like every single trendy recipe they try. Even though I happen to love mexican street corn flavors, your unapologetic honesty was refreshing to hear, and it made me trust you that much more if that makes sense hahah anyway thank you for all the cooking inspiration

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Mel. What a lovely Easter dinner spread. OMGosh, that sausage patti melt had me salivating. Have a great new week, my sweet friend.

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome video thanks,Amen

[@rachelcastle8369]

That was probably one of the best patty melts I’ve ever seen lol Love the Easter prayer ♥️ Congratulations to Patrick on his retirement! Have a great night Mel!

[@jeanphillips5687]

There are a lot of cooking shows on the Internet, but I prefer the ones that recognize Jesus as the one who blesses us and gives us life

[@deborahdaniels9163]

All of them loooked delicious , l have to make that patty melt

[@RAM-eb2te]

Our Resurrection Sunday was awesome. Three of us were talking at church and realized that our individuals plans had all fallen thru last minute due to sickness... As we talked, we realized that we'd each already made different parts of our dinner, so we decided to pool our resources and celebrate together. It was some of the best unplanned fellowship any of us had ever had! All of our families enjoyed it! ❤✝️

[@terrylooper4649]

Enjoyed the 30 minute meals also enjoyed Patrick’s taste test and yours too😅Loved the Prayer over the food for Resurrection Sunday.. I live between Nashville and Knoxville and love watching your videos and your Sweet Spirit😇
