Make Ahead Thanksgiving Dishes + Christmas Trees VLOG | HOLIDAY PREP 2022

[@Saints0611]

If you thicken that leftover juice with cornstarch or the leftover flour in a pan heated on the stove, you can use it as a filling for any leftover pie crust. Roll out the leftover pie crust, brush the filling on it, and then roll up the crust like cinnamon rolls. Slice into mini cinnamon rolls. Put rolls on a sheet of non-stick foil and bake for 10 minutes as the pie bakes in the oven. Brush with a little melted butter out of the oven and top with additional cinnamon and sugar as desired. I remember fondly these as a child as my mother baked often and then did this for my children as well when they were little. They loved to help me make them. Fun memories!

[@bethanyhall1524]

I have frozen many unbaked pies and baked them straight from the freezer. They turn out beautifully as if I had just made them. I always love watching your videos. Such a blessing to us homemakers.🌿

Hearing Luke say “ok” as you were explaining the apple pie recipe had me in stitches 😊

[@jannier9766]

I like to use a mixture of different kinds of apples in my pies.

I put my faith and trust in Christ! My greatest happiness comes from following him our Lord and Savior. So I’m patiently waiting for his return! As a single mother things are difficult this thanksgiving. My husband passed years ago so I’m alone. I’m overwhelmed because both of my children are autistic. I’m struggling trying to support them and myself. I can’t afford Thanksgiving dinner this year. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I’m so discouraged I feel so alone in this world. Every month is a battle, to not end up on the streets with my children. Thankfully God gives me strength to keep going. Please pray for me and my children this Thanksgiving thank you.

[@heartofchocolate9433]

Child of God - your name says it all - never forget that. Know it breathe it. Hold fast to the word. Philippians 4:13 says we can do ALL things through JESUS who gives us strength. Philippians 4:19 says MY GOD SHALL - SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS according to His riches in CHRIST JESUS. Study that. Think about it. Your not just going to have - you will have riches from Jesus! His riches which are better than anything. I pray you have a miraculous overflow. That your 2 children will be anointed & protected. That you will have great peace & know He is controlling this storm. In these heart wrenching trials know YOU WILL PREVAIL & Be MORE THAN A CONQUEROR! We serve a God who keeps His Holy eye on everything - even a Sparrow. You are more valuable. Romans 8:28. Be of good cheer. I wish I could give you a hug. Please let my words that are true be His hands & feet & lift you. I love to pray & will keep you in prayer - it’s an honor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

[@decide2day815]

Thank you for posting because it has given me the privilege to pray for you. Psalm 37:25 is a promise for you! Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. Stand with the Lord and look for his help in your difficult situation. And know I will be praying for you and your family.

[@jannier9766]

Please check local churches. There are a few in our area that do free Thanksgiving dinners. You can call some and if they don’t, they quite possibly know who does.

[@jackiekartz9674]

Praying for you.

[@letitial3239]

Please more, what I eat in a day! God bless you🤗

[@shadygardens2256]

We have had both pumpkins and watermelons to sprout in this way. Tomatoes too!

[@carole3680]

Had a tickle when you said mandolin! I immediately heard musical instrument then could not fathom the potatoes aspect! Never pays to think in advance of the speaker!

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

You can go anywhere to vote? Most places you have to go to a specific ward/district to vote.

[@reniehandler2595]

The apple pie looks amazing!!!! I always scrub the shower while I'm conditioning my hair. lol Multitasking at it's best! The little trees out by the garage seem to work perfectly and they look nice there! It's amazing what us Mom's get done in a day. Checking off the list and then looking back at it is amazing we got it all done!!! :) Have a great day, Hilary!!! xo

[@SharonKBM]

Those scalloped potatoes looked so good and they weren't even baked yet 😄I am sure they will be delicious and all brown and bubbly when you serve them. It wonderful you had such a big helper in the kitchen with you.

[@te4545]

Teamwork makes the dream work. Love that. Sounds like a regular refrain there which is wonderful. Love how he is so eager to help out in the kitchen. He will be quite the chef which is a great skill to have. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day 😊.

[@leilanimccloskey3463]

I have used that juice to drizzle over the ice cream that we serve witty the pie slice. Love the channel!

[@leilanimccloskey3463]

[@LisainCalifornia]

The spiderman glove while making the apple pie was the special touch, I think!

[@jeannettec375]

When you said "mandolin", I was like: She's going to take mandolin lessons?! Cool! 😄

[@OldWorldHome]

I wish I was that cool! 😅

[@daveandlizhudson1331]

I'd love to know about the school program where your kids do 1/2 at home and 1/2 at school? Seems like a perfect combo. Love your dress too

[@bethmann3283]

I think I may have to do that make ahead and freeze pie! My mom used to do several and freeze, was always nice to have one in a pinch. Always amazed at all you get done in a day!

[@imahick5723]

Your hand grader also has a slicer that can be used for those potatoes. I've done it many times.

[@OldWorldHome]

You’re absolutely right! Never thought of that

[@Rayisbetter12313]

I have to get a mandolin for sure! That potato bake looked amazing. Would you share the Bible studies you're doing?

[@cleopatrasimmons6513]

Good morning, I look forward to all of your videos. Thanks so very much for sharing. I am trying to start my day early, because I see how much you get accomplish daily. God's continuous blessings to you and your family always. Stay safe.

[@ericagoehring1089]

We don't use a crib, but that mattress is very cool. I'm impressed with how washable it is!

[@joyceprice6749]

That pie looked delicious 😋. Luke is going to be a great chef someday. ❤️

[@jendyson6729]

After cooking for a family for almost 40 years I decided I needed a kitchen scale, omgosh game changer. They aren't expensive and hides right on top of the fridge. I reach for it constantly. With all the cooking and baking you do you might want to get one. 😀

[@debraspringers2098]

Apple pie wow! Looks delicious!!

[@gopugmama4408]

Good morning, friend! I can't believe how much you get done with two small boys at home. The apple pie and scalloped potatoes looked delicious! Your vlogs have been so amazing with great ideas toward having a stress free Christmas. We love spending the holidays with our sons and their families. We all pitch in and potluck it so all the cooking doesn't fall on one person. I love my three grandchildren, our youngest being only three months old. Have a blessed day, dear Hilary, and thanks for sharing!🤎

[@sueknicely504]

Enjoyed the video, pie looked amazing ! I always struggle baking pies!

[@cynthia6055]

Happy Holidays ahead Hilary and family!!

[@ericagoehring1089]

Until last week, I had never used a food processor for pie crust! It really made a difference.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Full day! I'm surprised you didn't use the.mandolyn to slice the apples since you already had it available.

[@DaveeKilian]

You sure had a full morning out. It seems like your boys do such a good job being in the vehicle and out with you. LOL! I clean my bathroom during bath time sometimes too.

[@amysnodgrass9547]

You can put some rice or beans in those glass jars to help anchor those trees. That pie looked great! My husband has been asking for an apple pie for awhile now but I have always shied away from making one. It looked pretty simple so I guess I will give it a try and surprise him with it for Thanksgiving.

[@dthomas4216]

I LOVE your videos. Thank you for Everything!

[@lennyburdick3192]

I suggest a Kyocera mandolin and no cur / no cry gloves. $30ish total investment. Easy some storage. No extra parts to store track or lose.

[@3timeslucky566]

Hi Hillary, hope you are doing good, hope your migraines aren't bothering you, it's always great to do all the things but ' me' time is also very important, take care and TFS 🤗

[@kellyssimplesouthernlife2174]

Applie pie on my list for Thanksgiving now! Looks so good

[@Jules-f7s]

Yum thank you love watching your videos,hi from Australia

[@debbiem6406]

The Christmas trees look perfect in the containers. Here in L.A. we have voting boxes (they look like the outdoor P.O. mailboxes) where we can just drop our completed ballots in. They’re typically outside of libraries. So convenient to drop it in a week ahead even, or when I’m at the library. My mom used to let us make cinnamon sugar pie crust cookies with the leftover pie dough. I love them still!

[@geoffmarybeck2033]

Could you please share your pie crust recipe ?? You seem to have a magic touch with pies!!

[@itsyourlife8852]

Lol it’s like finding bay leaves in a potato stack. I’m laughing my head off at my own joke! 🤪

[@lindasmith5190]

That was a busy day! The pie looks so good.

[@Mrshandcraftedhome]

That little Spider-Man hand helping you cook 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️ the best

[@CammyHell]

Why didn’t you use the mandolin for the apples? You cut those super thin- I bet you could’ve cut the potatoes like that too haha

[@MindyourMatters]

Hey Hillary! Thanks for sharing a day! ☺️ I love this time of year. Busy but good 😊

[@annw1395]

You want to include those juices, though -- you just need some cornstarch or flour to thicken them. They are full of flavor, and also have your cinnamon in there. Busy day! Idk how you do it.

[@aprilyeno1919]

Getting ready to end the year right!!! I am loving this content!! See you soon. God bless! ❤️🙏🏻

[@mariasmith60]

Hi Hilary, I have really enjoyed these last three vlogs. Always such good ideas. You did not take your well deserved week break and I also noticed you're now using a rolling pin and not your wine bottle you used for years. I love the green color. 😍 PS the pie looks delicious!!

[@tg3609]

I’m so impressed with your pie crust and how easily you rolled it out. You mentioned you would link the recipe. Is it on the same page with thee pie recipe? Thanks Hilary for your cooking tips and recipes. Love your channel!

[@heartofchocolate9433]

Thanks Hillary I enjoyed todays video. I love my Mandolin from Pampered Chef! I had mine for 20 years of hard consistent use. I even had carrot stains! 🤣😂 the point of the V dipped down too. The blades stayed sharp. I bought a new one which is awesome with a stand & guard. I trust your recommendations. You give great pitches. Happy Birthday to Luke it seems like yesterday you were prepping his nursery. Have a great safe blessed week! Hugs 💕

[@sarahm340]

I wish this mattress was an option back when mine were babies. I will definitely be getting one of these for future nieces and nephews! 🙌

[@ArrowHillCottage]

this is definitely getting me in the holiday spirit! thanks you!

[@heythere2364]

Hillary could you give me a suggestion for a bible study that I could do on my own? I would appreciate your feedback and where I could acquire it.

[@spinnyjb1]

When I do freezer meals I like to write the instructions on the foil cover so I don’t need to look up the recipe again :)

[@OldWorldHome]

So funny, I edited out a clip in the video where I talked about just that! Definitely a great option

[@donna8212]

Good morning Hilary. Good to see you. Enjoyed the vlog 😊. The pie looked soooo delicious 🥧👍🏻. Hope you have a nice day today!

[@imahick5723]

Put some stones in the bottom of the jars

[@lisaremy4817]

Looks delicious!

[@horrisajones8933]

The pie looks great

[@tanyawillisanderson]

Apple pie looks to be delicious. Love your vlogs ❤

[@Mommyonthegoplustwo]

Apple pie looks good! 🥧I’m enjoying the holiday prep videos.

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

Good Video, I can’t find the pie crust recipe. Could you post it? Thank you

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Scalloped potatoes are a favorite of mine, and I never make them.🙈 I might make them for our Thanksgiving.😋

[@msmary126]

The pie looks like it came out great! I often clean the bathroom during bath time too 😂

[@lkhawkins4482]

Love tier vlogs!

[@susanvelez6534]

Oh Hilary I just love Luke he is your little chief helper alright. I clicked on this video so fast lol

[@yolynavarro6823]

Hi Hilary. Did you use the pie crust recipe from the same website or a different recipe? Thanks!

[@barbarapeterson8030]

ABSOLUTELY Doing Critical Thinking Hillary...YUM for the dishes. You are one organized MAMA! STTB

[@susanvelez6534]

FYI I did all the cookies today, they are unbaked in the freezer ❤❤❤ I think I’m going to send my son and his wife butcher block do you still have a code? 🙋🏻‍♀️🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲

[@jillshumann2119]

Did I miss your pie crust recipe?

[@punjabseth260]

nice👍

[@janiebea100]

Why don’t you have your own slicer? You do so much cooking and baking that it would be very useful. They are not expensive.

[@cherylgoff8955]

👏👏👏

[@londawhitt6841]
