I don't think I've ever seen anyone in less need of makeup than you. You're lovely, and your complexion is flawless...so peaches and cream. Not to mention that you're a great wife and mother. We should all be so lucky!

[@MandyintheMaking]

My goodness what a sweet compliment. Thank you so much 🥰

[@danagustafson6700]

Her little meow and wink was perfect!

[@marrileemiles3974]

That was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. And, the timing could not have been better it the had been done in CGI. It's got to win an award or something.

[@BlueTilda96]

This comment has nothing to do with the food but girl, you are SO beautiful!💫 An absolute package of a woman, strong and intellegent! Your husband and son are lucky to have you 🥰⚘ Much love from Sweden!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@rosabeltran9526]

[@darlenebatts6860]

I agree 💯 %

[@jeanieh9386]

Me too!

[@margaretmeyers3466]

I love that you cook with what you have if you don't have exactly what the recipe ingredients calls for. The guys reaction is wonderful.

[@tinapastrana5252]

[@cowtownjanet4450]

My “not so southern friends” laugh that our pets always have middle names. I’m so validated as a true southern mama because y’all have a “Gracie Lou” ❣️

[@erinjohnson7504]

We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and they all have the same middle name. Echo James, Elle Cat Stinky Cat James, Spookie James, and Elliot James

[@mindibunch5232]

Our pups have middle names, too! Maddie Rue, Bevo Jackson, Toto Goat, and Reagan Rainbow. 😊

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

My little pugs name is Jake did not give him a middle name but call him my Jake my baby boy lol

[@cathybrown8334]

My pets..... Mr. Kit Kat, Miss Zoey Brown, Eddy Lacy ( even though she is a girl I named her after one of my favorite Alabama football player), Miss Tallulah Brown. Yep I’m southern! And I love it !

[@shirleyjjohnston5469]

I have that grater also! It works every time. I enjoy watching your two men chow down. I think when a son gives his Mom a thumbs up is a great son! Teaching a young man to appreciate his Moms cooking is a good day! Your hubby gives you such honest and good reviews it must be fun to cook ....look delicious and you betcha I will cook these. Yum 🦩🦩

[@megank492]

Your potatoes looked delicious. I make mine almost the same way, but instead of adding the raw onion into the cheese sauce, I saute them in the melted butter in the beginning first, then add the flour & milk. I actually never add raw onion to any recipes, even if it says too. I find by sauteing them first, gives off much better flavor. Thanks for sharing your meals. xx

[@essaryswife1]

The John Wayne Casserole actually started out at a breakfast recipe that John Wayne loved and sent to a girl who was making a cookbook for either a charity or school thing. And it has evolved over the years. I just read about this a couple days ago!

[@heidihoogeveen8665]

I love that your husband helps you film!! So sweet!!❤❤

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's a sweetie

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Your kitty is precious. I love how you guys are with her. And you are perfectly beautiful with no makeup. I love that you are perfectly fine being in front of the camera without it. This old woman loves seeing you with your family and your recipes are wonderful. Thank you.

[@lindaboo3220]

Girl! Don't be so hard on yourself... with no makeup and your hair up you are still way better than I am on my best day! LOL Your boys are such good eaters and so appreciative of your cooking. I will have to order one of those graters soon too. I gotta have all the gadgets! And I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one who can't open those poppin fresh biscuit cans! LOL I still can't do it and my husband has to do it for me. Your kitty is so sweet what a companion and blessing she is. Thanks for the delicious recipes. ❤

[@haybentley1]

Gracie needs her own entire channel 😻😂

[@sugarplum1914]

I so loved how gracie winked and said hello! That cajun pasta looks delicious and your husband reaction priceless with this meal.

[@gail8134]

My cat’s name is Princess Prissy! She runs the house. She is a rescue from the animal shelter. There was a tornado and flooding south of me in Florida. The shelters were full. No sure of her age but guessing about 8-10 as I have had her for 4 years. She also loves cheese 🧀. I love 💕 your channel. It is simple and easy to follow the recipes. Your husband is a pleasure to watch and know every word he Critiques about your recipes is spot on.

[@deborahparker3907]

Yes, Mandy, please show us how you make your taco seasoning. So many of your recipes use it that making our own should save us money over buying the pre-made packages. Thanks!

[@hannahhostutler9065]

Gracie is the cutest! I cant handle it 😍 love the meals, looks so yummy ❤️

[@beverlymurray6554]

Thank you Mandy for the meal ideas! Man they all looked delicious. I got to say Gracie Lou is the cutes cat I have ever seen

[@res6769]

I lost my cat Gracie almost 2 years ago and I still miss her. So it is so nice to see your Gracie Lou ❤️.

I love Cole's commentaries; the guy is definitely blessed with a good sense of humor!🤣

[@debrawichmann5152]

I've been saving your recipes, they look so good! Thanks for trying so many new recipes and having you all reviewing them is awesome! I've made a few of them, and plan on trying more. Love your family, you all interact so well, even Gracie Lou. Has she ever jumped on the table?

[@tinab758]

Please don't ever let Cole leave home. He has to be in the videos forever

[@darlenebatts6860]

[@teresawilliams662]

Tracy Lou looks like the sweetest and most lovable cat. I love cats but sadly I am allergic to them. I do however have a miniature dachshund named bandit. He was my mom's dog and when she passed away I got him and he was 4 years old. Now he will be 14 this year. He also cannot jump anymore and has gone blind. Don't know what I will do when his time comes. He has been such a comfort for me since my mom passed. It's like having a little piece of her with me

[@emilyherr6011]

Aww Gracie is so sweet! These recipes look good!

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

I never had turkey tenderloin...I hope to try it.thank you.love your cooking.you hv a very sweet family..I also wanted to mention..you are so pretty and young..you need no makeup...hv a wonderful day.good wishes and God's blessings to you and your family 😇💘💚💛🏵️🌻💛😊💛🌻

[@robincarley7323]

Thank you for showing the use of the grater for the potatoes! I bought that grater after you and another KZbinr I follow both highly recommended it and I love it, so easy to use! I’ll be keeping that blade in mind for future use. I’d like to also say that I enjoy your channel so much. Your calm voice, demeanor, personality and soft music are elements that add to the great recipes. Your family is delightful❤️

[@brendafranco1046]

I'm new to your channel and I loved watching you cook. Your family is so sweet and they love your cooking to. The John Wayne cassarole looked amazing. Thank you for inviting us into your home. I'm 70 and I enjoyed watching so much thank you. Brenda from Chicago.

[@dianetucker2711]

WOW, the boys were blown away with the Cajun dish, going to try that first . I know my teen girls are going to LOVE it❣️🥰

[@daniamiller9443]

You and your family are so lovely Mandy! Thank you for sharing these delicious meals.

[@barbkelzenberg2394]

I would love to see a “Flop”. Do you ever make something that doesn’t turn out right? Or something Steven and Cole hate? That would make a great video. 🌺

[@suestenstream3041]

Hmmm sounds like a great blooper video....

[@Sianodak47]

Real life for sure! THANKS FOR SHARING MANDY, LOVEl your channel & your recipes, just don't comment oftenThanks again for sharing yourself & family w/ us SANDY

Love your channel! Always puts a smile on my face 😃 I really like that you have started including bloopers, it shows the personalities of you and your lovely family (Gracie included) I also love the variety of recipes you present. Keep up the great job y’all! 🤩

[@connieweisman7772]

Your videos are my favorite u tube videos...I like everything about them. The best part is that the food is delicious. I am going to watch every one of them. I'm so glad that you started the video.

[@marycrum127]

I make a similar potato dish, I microwave my potato’s in the microwave for 20 min to soften, and I make the white gravy, pour over the potatoes, salt, pepper and add butter, bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes. My family loves these.

[@heatherbelmares6922]

This video is one of my favorites! I actually watched it twice accidentally. It popped up in my list to watch so I did and got about half way through and noticed I had already "liked " the video it's that good!! I love this channel.

[@kimjriley5463]

Love Gracie! She is the cutest cat ever! Love all the recipes you have.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much!

[@summersands8105]

The easiest way to press out biscuit dough to put the biscuits between 2 sheets of lightly floured wax paper and roll it to the size you need. Works like a charm.

[@sadieladydubois2763]

The cajun sausage chicken pasta looks terrific, I can't wait to try that!

[@kaliwindx7287]

Your kitty is so adorable. And you look just fine with no make up. Love the recipe and I’m going to try them.

[@nikkibiggers156]

I got some turkey after your grocery haul. I have had an instant pot for over a year, but just got it out of the box a few weeks ago. I cooked it in there per six sisters stuff instructions and it was so good!!! My Dad also said they taste like beef. 😄 so scrange, but so good!!! It all looked delicious. Give sweet Gracie Lou a big hug for us!

[@leishamcalpin3171]

Loving Gracie! I love how you include her!

[@christinamadddox1812]

I made the Cajun Chicken and sausage pasta for dinner tonight. It was absolutely fantastic.

[@candifeinberg3222]

I always leave the peels on the potatoes. So many vitamins 😊

[@cc-sb1is]

eeek! I didn't know Gracie Lou was 16 years old! 😭😍😭😍She's an old lady!! But she seems to be a spry little gal...hopefully she has a few more years to bless you with 💓

[@acountrylife]

Hi Mandy, what a surprise! Being so busy with the garden produce lately, I haven’t been watching many videos so when I chose this one for a little R&R it made me smile to see you make up my taco seasoning recipe. The John Wayne casserole looked delish. All of it looked good.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so thankful to you for sharing it!!! ❤️

[@ivy_swain5003]

Just wanted to say you shouldn’t feel insecure about how you look with no makeup on, you’re still beautiful! Your natural face is just as pretty as your dolled up one. Own it! 🥰

[@keridrowatzky9543]

Mandy's hubby loves his food. He'd be a great guy to cook for. They are too cute.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

I've gotta stop watching your videos when I'm hungry! 😱 All three of these are going in my list to try!

[@marybennett8657]

The kitty wink and meowed too cute

[@LibbyJones777]

I love Gracie. I had to put my Maine Coon down, he was old and in so much pain. She looks like she is doing good. Love when you show her.

[@elizabethday511]

Thank you for numbering the videos. Makes it so helpful to find them again!

[@patriciamurray1720]

You are lucky to have these two & they are lucky to have you

[@bpadilla123]

Made the turkey dinner you made in this video and my goodness it was delicious!!! Will be added to our menu from now on!

[@dyerbad]

You and that cheese grater!! My husband bought me the grater attachment for my kitchen aid mixer a few years ago and I use it ALOT!! BUT, I am resisting the strong urge to get this one!!

[@robinabbott7049]

Me too.

[@nursekaren]

After watching Mandy I bought one and I love it.

[@nursekaren]

I just realize we share a last name. I live in Canada and we don’t have a lot of Dyers here.

[@heathermarie1424]

You have a new sub. I really love your family. They are so sweet. I love your kitchen decor too. These videos are great and I love finding the recipe so easy as well. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hey Heather!! I'm so glad you are here!!!!

[@janetmichigander]

I love it when you film your 'What's for dinner' episodes with bloopers. You all know, I love ya' all! Everything looked amazing!! Gracie Lou, needs more cheese🥰🥰

[@countrybootsgirl]

I love the cheese grader how cool.

[@FrankCostanza456]

Hi Mandy and family! Another set of delicious looking meals that I will definitely be copying for my own family. Your recipes are always so enjoyable to watch as you can how much you love to cook. Thank you for sharing!

[@tedraford6624]

To keep your potatoes from browning, it is best to place them in water while you are prepping and slicing. I place them in a bowl of water while slicing and chopping, and drain the them when I get ready to cook them. It really works!

[@deborahdaniels9163]

Gracie's is just so precious and you never disappoint me love your videos

[@stacymiller5846]

Hello Mandy! We made the Cajun Sausage and Chicken Pasta yesterday for lunch and we ALL loved it! (even my 8 and 12 year old littles!!) Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@denilledillabough3634]

My Princess lived 19 years. Active until a year before she died. She was premature. I fed her with an eye dropper. She was amazing. I loved her so much.

[@beckyshreck9624]

After watching your many videos on the turkey tenderloin we had to try it. It was so good and is now a family favorite.

[@melissaporter885]

Mandy I tried your green bean recipe last night and loved it. I did add a splash of cider vinegar to it and that took it a step beyond. I did it to get rid of that canned veggie taste. I enjoy your cooking videos so much!

[@krissiehaney6815]

Your videos are my absolute favorite. Every dish this week looks amazing!

[@erinlizbeth4338]

Adding all 3 of these to our 2 week meal plan...so excited!

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Hi Gracie!!! I love cheese too! 😄

[@MandyintheMaking]

She says she wants to come to your house 😂

[@Whatsthedeal106]

🐈 🧀

[@megandeckard9029]

Hey Mandy, found the tenderloin and my husband wants to know what temp your husband cooks it at and how long?

[@mbcook77mc]

My cat loves chips..any kind but especially cheese Doritos lol..

[@billiemobley6424]

Thank you,I love kitties and she is adorable.I enjoy your videos so much.

[@jonellegressman]

Everything looks great, thanks for showing the taco seasoning!

[@Tammyjify]

I just bought the tenderloins from Aldi and going to try them on our family first. I might make them again for Easter for my children's families. I thought it might be better than a whole turkey. Thanks for such wonderful videos. I make your meals often, and your family is so sweet. Happy Easter!

[@HeatherTerry84]

Okay if I didn’t already want that cheese grater for that purpose, I definitely want it now for thinly slicing those potatoes so easily! I wish we had Aldi here in the Phoenix area, I loved those in Texas As always, heyyyy Gracie! I hope you got some cheese! 🐈 🧀

[@VHPINC]

One adorable cat. She’s so sweet :-) love the recipes too, thanks for sharing.

[@brandibrockway3479]

I have that same cheese grater and I LOVE it. We also used it for potatoes and it was awesome. I also used it to shred zucchini and it also was so easy.
