I agree I just found the channel and I love it 🥰 I’m 56 years old and love watching these two kids. Their momma’s and daddy’s can be proud of them.

That quote was hilarious!

[@MillennialMomAbby]

Watching him pour the tomato soup🤣 had me cracking up. You two are too darn cute. Loved the video.

[@saraedmonds1809]

You can cook the squash, whole, in the Instant Pot! So easy. Steamer rack, 1 cup water, poke squash 12-15 times with a fork, pressure cook on high for 12 minutes. You can fork out noodles and then chill them to use in a cold noodle salad also.

[@heatherwoods296]

I was just gonna tell her that:)

I love all your what’s for dinners! I don’t have a good way to save them since they get mixed up with all my other “to try” recipes. Do you have a video with your top 10? If you haven’t done one like that I bet it would be a big hit!

[@2Blessed]

I've tried grilled cheese with mayo, and it's okay in a pinch, but not my go-to. I butter my bread and then put the tiniest bit of olive oil in the pan - it gets super-crispy on the outside, and has the fantastic butter flavor! And I love using Gouda as one of my cheeses since it melts so nicely! And I often add some cream cheese inside as well!

[@vickihandel3620]

Great tip ty

[@ashleywallace6142]

I absolutely love that y’all are always cooking together in the kitchen ❤️

I must say out of all cooking channels, I enjoy yours the most. I am 67 years old and I have always been a by the book cook. I love trying new things. I am going to try that chicken bake. You two are just so down to earth. You both had me laughing when cutting the squash. I have never made or had it myself, but my sister makes it and loves it. Keep on doing what you are doing and letting us know what you may or may not like in the recipes you try.

I think you guys should do a cook-off would be so fun to watch the competition between you two 🙂 or even do it with cook clean repeat

Completely my nightly ritual of cooking dinner and binging all of your "What's for Dinner" videos and wishes I was making the same delicious meals! The spaghetti squash looked so good, I can't wait to try that! I made your olive garden italian dressing chicken recipe last night and my fiance said it was THE best chicken he's ever had, so thank you! I hope to see a spaghetti squash chicken alfredo recipe in the near future!

[@athomeimmum2247]

we have master grilled cheeses and home made tomato soup on our meal plan for later on this week and this has made me oh so ready for it! Mouth. Watering.

[@lisajoslin1113]

Try using butter and mayo together and you can even go one step further and add a small amount of mustard to the butter mayo mixture. Yum. We started using the air fryer to cook our grilled cheese. It is so good..

[@Sublimechick84]

Nothing is better than a pickle with a grilled cheese and soup. I sometimes will add on sandwich pickles on my grilled cheeses. It's so yummy!!!

[@kvthing2]

Hey Bunks! I’ve got a recipe for y’all! Penne Gorgonzola! You can serve with Chicken or Steak or really by itself. This is similar to a dish at a restaurant I use to work at..It is just so delicious and different than your standard alfredo. I’ve never actually mesasured everything but here’s the rough list -At least a 6 oz container of crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese . A “wedge” of Gorgonzola would work too...usually when I go to Trader Joe’s or Aldi I’ll just get the wedge -3/4 cup of Parmesan (usually just use shredded) -carton of whipping cream (10 oz) -1/2 stick butter/margarine (or can substitute nice splash of preferred oil) -at least 2 tablespoons of garlic (it makes a difference BUT can add more or less) -a “bunch” of asparagus - chopped in about inch sized pieces -salt and pepper to taste -diced tomatoes for topping if you like -whatever protein you want for topping! -1 box of penne pasta (save some pasta water!) Instructions -cook pasta per usual, saving some pasta water -Pan sear steak or chicken in a large deep pan. Season meat to your preference -Once protein is done cooking...take out and let rest -add 1/2 stick butter (or oil) and asparagus and sauté -When asparagus gets a nice color on it throw in garlic and continue to sauté till garlic is fragrant -Add in 3/4 carton of heavy whipping cream -crumble in Gorgonzola and Parmesan -stir frequently and let everything come together -at this point you can add more whipping cream or pasta water to the sauce to your liking. I usually end up using all of the whipping cream and maybe a heavy splash of pasta water. Sauce will thicken if you let it stand -Season with salt and pepper to taste -add in pasta and stir to combine everything -At this point you can cut up protein and add on top after serving OR toss it in the sauce with everything -top with diced tomatoes and Parmesan And bam! Yummy penne Gorgonzola !!

[@jessicaodonohue]

Oh my word!!!! This sounds absolutely amazing!! I love gorgonzola so you know this is right up my alley!! Thank you!!!

[@cbraswell1948]

Sorry, I prefer Hellman’s Mayonnaise. I have tried them all. Oh my! That knife. Bunkey scared me. Can’t wait to try the chicken and rice dish!

[@beckyjustice9155]

Me too and I don’t understand the appeal of Dukes at all.... but I am looking forward to trying my Hellman’s instead of butter for browning my grill cheese. 😊

[@texasbelle19]

Agree I’ve tried them all and Dukes is far more acidic than Hellman’s so I like the Hellman’s better.

[@nikkibiggers156]

Pickles with everything! We started using ground turkey and ground chicken as well during the meat shortage. You really can’t tell a difference. It’s much cheaper. Mandy make a Buffalo chicken chili forever ago with ground chicken. So good! You gotta try it!! Thank you fir another wondermous video!

[@tracyboleware1162]

Hello Bunkeys!! So excited for a new video. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you! You too! Hope you are doing great Tracy!!

[@oceanluvr4040]

Hey Jessica! You and Bunky are my favorite new channel. I even have my hubby watching, too. It's hard coming up with new dinner ideas and you guys are so much fun to watch in the kitchen together. I can't wait to try the spaghetti squash.

[@marymartinez8047]

So glad you guys are branching out into some other foods! My favorite recipe with ground turkey is shepherd’s pie. The chicken and rice dish looks delicious. It’s going on the meal plan next week. Thanks for the fun video!

[@meluvs2read]

Hint: with those soup containers.. if you puncture a hole in the top of your contair it lets air escape and your soup will flow out easily.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Thats a genius idea!! Thank you Louise!!

[@karabowman811]

A little fig spread on a grilled cheese is amazing. Gives it a little sweet acidity which is sooo good.

[@ginajohnson7485]

Yesssss!!! You dip your grilled cheese in the tomato soup...with the dill pickle!!! Love you two soooo much!!! ~Gina💜

[@francesca0276]

Ok, soooo...I just paused the video to make me a grilled cheese sandwich using the mayo technique! Let me just say, I HAVE NEVER EVER IN MY 44YRS OF LIFE HAVE I EVER BEEN SO SURPRISED OVER A SANDWICH! Seriously, I am amazed, LOL. Thank you for sharing that tip. By the way, I love your channel and I have been watching for 2yrs now. Keep doing what you are both doing! May God bless you and keep you! May His love shine upon you! #powercouple

[@kkelly4360]

You guys are my new favorite couple. I love your channel! Thanks for the yummy recipes!

[@christiclark177]

First of all, y’all crack me up in every video!!! 😂 Second, Bunkey is right, there is ONLY ONE mayo and it’s Dukes - I don’t know how Dale Jr got it so wrong (wait, yes I do, Helimens is his sponsor 😁). Third, we use ground turkey all the time, I just make sure to season it well because it can be a little blah. I love watching y’all because you are right in my backyard - we live about an hour north of Charlotte and I grew up in SC and Myrtle Beach is where I grew up going to. I will be trying all these recipes soon.

[@lisawinders2624]

Mrs. B., the video evidence does show you are the one who set the temp for the tomato soup high when you turned on the burner. He was right. 👀

Hahaha I really thought I put it on low!🤣

I definitely will try the chicken and rice recipe, it looked amazing. I can't cut big squash very well, so I was understanding Bunky's version 😂.

[@rheagoen3679]

No pickle. But you have to dip! Love how you all work together! Relationship goals!!!!!

[@ilove2dancee]

For our grilled cheeses we put butter and garlic salt on the outside of the slices!! Delicious!

[@sjohnson5135]

Hey Bunkeys!! Try putting Claussen Dill Sandwich Pickle Slices inside your grilled cheese sandwich before cooking...sooo good!! Love your videos...have a great weekend!!

[@jessicaodonohue]

That Sounds great! Thank you for the tip!!

[@victoriajackson9129]

I read through some of the comments... If someone has already said this, I apologize. 😁 Any carton like one your soup was in.. Take a knife and poke a hole in the top of it opposite the pour spout, and it'll flow smoothly without the plopping. Lol

Tomato soup with red pepper has a really good flavor !! I love grilled cheese with tomatoe and bacon

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

Trader Joe's tomato soup is so good! I definitely like to dunk my grilled cheese in my soup. I don't normally eat a pickle with my grilled cheese and soup however I do enjoy a pickle with my sandwiches in general and I don't see there ever being a bad time for a pickle, so I think I may try that next time! Thanks for the idea Bunkey! That garlic chicken dinner looked amazing! We love spaghetti squash but yeah, cutting it is always a dangerous endeavor. 😂 You guys did great though! We've made a chicken Alfredo stuff spaghetti squash before and it is so good! 😋 Thanks for all the fun and laughter once again! ❤️

[@sharonvanmeter4645]

My husband puts 11 day pickles on his grilled cheese sandwich. I didn't ever hear about that before I met him but it is good!

[@schwingyshwoo]

I am really hoping that your clock in the background is right! So many people eat dinner at 5 or 6... or even 7 but my fam often eats at 8 or later!😬 It’d be awesome to know we’re not the only ones! I I remember one time we had dinner and it was still daylight. My youngest son was like, “is this lunch?”😂 BTW, pickles on a grilled cheese is Bomb!😋

[@coupondawnsavesalot6268]

I buy chicken breast and thighs on sale and grind them myself. I bought my grinder on Amazon for like $35. It has more than paid for itself. I use ground chicken in place if beef all the time. Just season it like you would beef. I use meat tenderizer too. Using Worcestershire sauce helps too!
