[@lindadalton2668]

Good to hear a truckers wife I too was a truckers wife for many years we always had had ways of doing things a bit differently than others. We knew how to make time work for us we knew how to cut corners

[@eileenpalumbo6578]

Great time saving ideas! Everything looks yummy. Thanks for sharing.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Thank you for keeping me company this morning! Just put frozen garden tomatoes in the roaster to prepare for canning pasta sauce😊. Hubby and I went to Meijer yesterday (thank you for alerting me to the $1 potatoes) and got some baking and other goodies. Got 2 .33 cent turkeys, hubby and I both have mPerks so we cheat😅. One for freezer and one for thawing. My mom’s baked Mac ‘n cheese is a Christmas Eve staple for us! Also bought $1 bags of fresh cranberries to make and can sauce.

[@annamariekorte7259]

Good idea. Make ahead dishes. I canned all the veggies we are using. I canned the pumpkin, cooked homemade cranberry sauce & canned that.

[@MegaToshia]

Me n my God-daughter will be cooking pies n cakes ahead of time. I'll prep for the mashed potatoes n stuffing. Thank you 🙏👍 n wished you were my neighbor. God bless n Happy Thanksgiving

[@KarenMcKendry]

Beautiful side dishes! Just need dressing, gravy and the turkey! Thanks Renea! 😊

[@kathycourington4748]

This all looks so good and you make it all look so easy.

[@nannypat6520]

My Stuffing is ready to go too and in the freezer. I’m Canadian so our Thanksgiving is past this year, but our traditional Christmas dinner is a repeat. At 73 yrs old I’m making on dish a day to freeze for Christmas dinner. The stuffing is 1st in the freezer today the Sweet Potato casserole and tomorrow will be mashed potatoes. We don’t do Mac and cheese but I might have to reconsider that 😂. Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be watching the MDParade and decorating our tree 🇨🇦🎄

[@carolepracitto928]

Happy Thanksgiving beautiful family...my Mom always said make ahead and I agreee...love your channel

[@robertamead3687]

Loved the video Have a blessed holiday

[@christinaurban7229]

I love your hair.looks beautiful.

[@donnanorman340]

I tried once using an electric mixer, and my potatoes ended up with a very gummy texture. I also like garlic in my mashed potatoes. Have a wonderful weekend. 🖐🏻🇨🇦

[@dianecapuano2792]

I only buy organic as they cannot be GMO. Might cost a little more but you won't get the nutrition from GMO potatoes. I'm not saying your potatoes were, just saying it's a possibility. ❤

[@ShelbyBunten]

Renea so enjoyed this video you cooked some amazing food you also look so pretty today you keep your stove so clean and everything else just love watching your channel❤️ Shelby

[@LawrieMaas]

You make me feel I’m right there cooking with you. Thank you for all your videos.

[@virginiapierce4055]

Looks delicious. My sweet potato casserole has brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and is topped with mini marshmallows! Everyone loves it. Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving prep with us.

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Have a nice Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones 🎃

[@LOdragonfly39]

You are so wonderful. I wish I could just spend the day in the kitchen with you, but I live in Florida and you’re way up in Michigan, but that would be fun. I would get to learn so much from you. 😊❤ I am learning a lot by watching the videos. I don’t miss a One.

[@janedelarosa5957]

I love your videos. Also you make cooking easy by just having the right measurements. Yummy.❤ Jane

[@Cooking_Through_Time]

You r making me hungry. It's after 9am and I don't like breakfast foods. I could just devour everything u made....lol

[@sueranbarger5874]

Looks like an empty burner going on the stove. Love the recipes and how fun you are.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

It was

[@maryjweid6228]

Everything looks delicious and simple ingredients. I have started to use a piece of parchment paper (I buy at Dollar Tree a roll), I crumble it, spread it out then and put it directly over the food and then put the foil cover on, then bake as usual.

[@MelissaJohnson-s7k]

Great video ❤😊

[@hopesellers1031]

That corn casserole looks wonderful!❤

[@mariezafonte6473]

Everything looks so delicious. I don't have an extra freezer so I'll be making my casseroles on Wednesday. I also make a cream corn and broccoli casserole every holiday. Making my breads tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@HappyBird105]

Just came across your channel and subscribed! Thank you for sharing simple recipes to make great dishes! Can’t wait to try them!

[@vickirickman9373]

Thank you ! Happy Thanksgiving

[@tammypol4182]

I have an electric toaster. I love it! The tourney doesn't come out as browned, but it makes the meat fall off the bones. I Allah use my for papering my apples for applesauce and tomatoes for canning.

[@lowespringacres7838]

Hi. Listening while I process my deer. 😊

[@debbiefield6932]

Hi from Pennsylvania!

[@Kathryn-o5f]

I always salt my potatoes when they are boiling.

[@ramonahoudek4712]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!

[@citygirlhomestead]

everything looks totally amazing

[@ClickinChicken]

Looks like it's going to be a mac and cheese Thanksgiving for me! Thanks for the tip. If I do it. Maybe a Dijon's frozen pizza!

[@patlovato4073]

Thank u so very much for the video.

[@Penny-p3t]

Thank you, Renea! ❤

[@Jomama02]

Great idea fixing it ahead of time but I'd be going hungry at your table because you put sour cream and/or cream cheese in everything! Lord have mercy Renae! I'd eat up all that cranberry sauce though! I make a cranberry salad with finely chopped celery in it and raspberry jello.

[@janetwilliams782]

Wow this is awesome..u did a wonderful job and great idea to b stressfull..thanku so much..Happy Thanksgiving to u and john and ur family ❤❤

[@kristachristensen1792]

I made the best cranberry sauce I put jello mix in mine yummy

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I'm thankful I work through Thanksgiving, but Xmas I'll be doing "donate $$'s" to food fund. Hope to share with day of cooking & clean up. 😊

[@CarmenSanchez-zr6xm]

Renae, John and everyone....Have a nice Thanksgiving 😊

[@karenknox3307]

Hello Renea hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving , I know you said you don't really like cranberry relish but have you ever tryed it with apple add to it ? ,the taste is not as tart and the apple just adds another taste layer to it . Hope one day you will try it.

[@lisagrafton2529]

You should try adding strawberries or raspberries, to your cranberry sauce. Maybe you would like that a lot better! It cuts the bitter/tartness from the cranberries! My family loves the cranberry sauce in the can!! It's much sweeter and has a smooth texture. You could also use your emersion blender to blend the sauce smooth. Maybe it's a texture thing that you don't enjoy!

[@rpmillam]

I would add Nutmeg as well

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I thought that was going to be her secret ingredient!

[@rebeccaboyett4267]

This is wonderful. Question, how do you warm the potatoes up? In the oven?

[@candymckinnon8554]

Great video Renea

[@lemonswirl1]

Hi. Is the cranberry sauce served hot or cold? Is there a difference on how each is made? I just tried a hot cranberry sauce for the first time and loved it. I am not a fan of cold. I didnt even know hot was a thing. Thank you.

[@FredaCassidy-e2p]

Hi.❤

[@lindaredden9198]

You need green beans and Cole slaw !

[@claudiajackson8403]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯

[@The1952trouble]

I love everything you made BUT I'm strange I don't like potatoes mixed with a mixer. I'm old fashioned and still hand mash and I'm 72. Have a blessed thanksgiving.

[@beckykulinski5071]

I always use sharp or x-sharp cheese in my Mac & cheese.

[@patjones5723]

I like you.....I even subscribed What's the flour for in the sweet potatoe topping??? (Plzzzz an ty)

[@charlenepotter1518]

Oh Renee, you have saved me so much time not making a roux on the stove first for my Mac and cheese. Thank you. Love all your videos!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I like your hand mixer, is it vintage? You’re a whiz in the kitchen! I’m going to make some things ahead myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

It is rather old.

[@dawnebeilman3398]

I always add sour cream

[@Brenda-th7gy]

Would that be the same as fried corn

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

similar.

[@debishipman2761]

I'm 62 years old and have never had mac and cheese for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm curious as to where and when it was started since it's not really traditional fare.

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

We have had it for years.

[@kristachristensen1792]

Here Thanksgiving tip do not put raw eggs in stuffing put it in the fridge it will sour you have to cook it if you going make stuffing with eggs do it on Thanksgiving day

[@marilyncapehart663]

Thanks for sharing., How come you do not put eggs in your Mac & Cheese 11-23-2024❤

[@LittleVillageHomestead]

I make it the way my grandma did.
