Well, I just added ricotta cheese to my grocery list. I have to try Reed's dip. I just know that is amazing. Wow did he grow up fast! Sadie's cookies look great too! My grandbabies would love them and would love to help make them. Your mom looks great, and it was nice to meet your 2nd mom too. I have been making those cookies for years. My granny would make them, and they are a tradition in our family. So good with a cup of coffee. I hope ya'll all have a wonderful Christmas!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I’m so happy to hear that your family enjoys making those cookies too and you're going to love Reeds dip! Thank you so much for always watching with us 💕

[@ann-utah1495]

What sweet tender souls you and your mother have…you two got me too… love the feeling of the spirit.. what good people you are! I hope your dad is doing well..I remember when I started watching you, he was making biscuit cutters for people.. great hearts you all have!! 💚

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you so much, it is a blessing to have her in my life. 😊 And you're so right about the Spirit, it binds us sisters in Christ together. Daddy's doing pretty good, he's had some health troubles this year and having some dental work done in January. Remember him in your prayers. And his sister that is closest in age to him is dealing with some very serious health issues that have come on suddenly and we're all very worried but daddy especially, they are very close. So if you don't mind whisper a prayer for her too. 🙏 thank you so much

[@jenjenoz]

Great video, merry Christmas Mel and friends!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@joanfels6641]

You are Southern Baptist sweet lady !! I am the daughter of a Southern Baptist preacher who served God for over 70 years. He lost his eyesight but continued to share God’s word as long as he possibly could! All of the words your, you and your friend brought me to tears. Thank you for reaching out to the lost.😊

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

You are so kind, and it is an honor to serve Him. 🙏 I thank the Lord for our Godly heritage and bless you and your father.

[@joysgirlrachellejohnston1333]

Sadie’s snores look fun and delicious! I will try this!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Sadie's snores were a huge hit in our kitchen! As a matter of fact, she forget the rest of that tub of cookie dough and I always have marshmallow and graham cracker, so I bought a Hershey's bar and I've made a couple more of these for me and Patrick LOL

[@suesimpson309]

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. The thumbprint cookies (we call them Russian tea cakes) are one of my favorite cookies. I use a variety of jelly or jam in my cookies. Apple cinnamon jelly is probably my favorite for those cookies.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I love the sound of that apple cinnamon jelly! So good!

[@kimberlybrumfield8789]

Such a sweet video! Merry Christmas and God bless!

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Dearest Mel, what a wonderful video! I absolutely loved it ❤❤ Thank you for sharing the younger cooks/baker’s. So good to see some youngster’s enjoying food prep and their end results ❤❤ So very refreshing 💕🙏🙏

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

They were such a joy to have in the kitchen! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching.

[@michelesmith7269]

Such an enjoyable episode. Enjoyed meeting your friends and family. When your Mama was telling us about the missionaries and all, I found myself nodding and smiling - felt like we were all enjoying ourselves and sharing together!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I'm so glad you felt like you were right there with us! That's how I feel when I'm filming too ❤️

[@lindak7623]

This was fun. My how Reed has grown. What a handsome young man and cutie little sister. Thanks, Mel. Merry Christmas

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you! It was definitely a fun one, and yes, Reed has grown up! 😊🎄

[@donnakeeton168]

I love all of these! I was bragging on the Jammin Jams to a coworker today and I’m so excited to see all of these ideas on how to use them instead of using them on a biscuit (or eating out of the jar with a spoon!). And the Lottie Moon cookies would be great to hand out in church this Sunday. Wonder if I can find time to make them…

[@suzanchamness376]

Thank you for sharing this video it was amazing seeing you three ladies together in the kitchen and the wonderful story you told about the cookies Merry Christmas to all and God bless❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

I really enjoyed seeing all of your special guests & the recipes they shared! I loved Reed's blender! That was so cool. I plan to try everyone's recipes! You have an amazing platform to share the gospel on. Thank you for doing that! ❤

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I agree, that was a really neat blender, and thank you for your support of sharing the gospel, that really means the world to me and I appreciate your prayers. There is always alot of new viewers through the Christmas season, and we never know the hearts of those watching that might not know Him. But know that the Lord will move in hearts if they will allow Him.

[@joysgirlrachellejohnston1333]

Great job Reed. I want to try it!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

You’re going to love it!

[@NadineBrooker]

I was a GA when I was a kid, then later on I was a leader, brought back a lot of happy memories with the Lottie Moon story. God bless and have a Merry Christmas to you and your family. Our virtual and spiritual family on your channel.
