Please keep us in your prayers. We had to say goodbye to our furbaby, Robbie this morning. My heart is crushed. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

I’m so sorry. Since you last mentioned him, I was wondering how things were going. My prayers are with you.

Sorry for your loss. ❤😂

It's always a good day when I see Mandy uploaded 🎉

[@lisahoward1969]

I agree 💯

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Agreed. Her and Steven and Moss family always brighten my day.

[@roxyleigh7236]

Steven: I don't like cream cheese Steven when Mandy makes new recipes with cream cheese: 😲🤤

[@michellegriffin1994]

Right I thought he was going to snicker at her when she said that ranch and cream cheese make it sticky and nothing. It’s grown on him 😂

[@cindyziliak9619]

Adding a blueberry to the watermelon appetizer would make a perfect 4th of July snack.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Oh I LOVE this so much!

[@mmoretti]

Your husband just makes me smile, he is such a card.

[@lauracunningham1149]

Hubby is a pickle roll-up KING! We call it Minnesota sushi!

[@FormatException]

We always called it mid-west sushi. I guess it still applies :)

[@dutchgram3799]

That's funny, I've heard Midwest Sushi (live in Michigan).

[@nancycowan6109]

I’ve lived here for 70 years and have had every pickley pickle thing. I’ve never heard of MN sushi. Guess I’ve been living under a rock. And the rock is in Duluth. lol.

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

Yes, we DO!❤️ When I moved to Illinois from Minnesota years ago I would bring it to parties, and people would gobble it up like it was the best thing they’d ever had. They’d never heard of it before. It’s so easy and good.❤️

[@nancycowan6109]

@@QueenOfTheNorth65 Love your name, by the way. We had pickle roll up things but never called them sushi. Didn’t even know what sushi was back in my day, lol. 🤣🤣

[@BeachLoverCindy]

HA HA HA. The watermelon/feta seems to have given you a life-altering experience. I'll make these.

[@wendysteward7877]

I’m on my ninth day of Covid…almost over, but you have made these days easier. Thank you!

[@amanda.a.m]

It’s so funny you made those watermelon skewers because I was just talking about it the other day. We’re Armenian, and watermelon feta salad, also watermelon mint salad, is like a thing for us in summer 😂 although it was mint more so than feta so I gotta try the feta again It’s just chopped up watermelon, crumbled feta, mint, lime juice and a little salt. Some people add finely minced red onion sooo good

[@marywalker1394]

Sounds delicious ❤

[@deborahmorris8283]

Before this video was even done, I had made a small platter of the pickles, cream cheese and ranch, and ham. My son-in-law loved them!

[@karibear6504]

Stephen: Where do you want to go? Mandy: Jamaica? Stephen: Jamaica me laugh!!!

[@kerriday6780]

A salad you will love is watermelon, crumbled feta, trader joes balsamic glaze, and chopped mint leaves

[@karibear6504]

OMG. Seriously, the only fruit salad I eat! Even kids love it.

[@liteapl]

Yea! I was just about to write that. Even without the glaze just the fresh ingredients is amazing. One of my favorite summer salads!

[@justplaintara9028]

I do a salad with watermelon, basil and pickled red onions. Sooooo refreshing!

[@liteapl]

@justplaintara9028 that sounds amazing too!

[@ElisaDoucette]

Came here to comment (or make sure someone else had commented) about the salad!

[@1NikkiNewJersey]

Steven sis so funny lol, 😁 that fruit salsa looks so good, I wish I could make it but I can't eat fresh fruit , I'm allergic 😢. I do want to make some sliders. Thanks for reminding me 😊, really enjoy watching your videos. I don't always comment, but here and there I do 😀

[@amydavis7951]

They all look delicious. I am definitely team pickle. I am one of those who drinks pickle juice. I even marinade chicken in it before cooking. Love pickles.

[@jerri117]

I like the juice better than the pickles! I used to sneak and drink all it out of my mama's pickles when I was little. Lol!

[@amydavis7951]

@@jerri117 lol that is the best part. I order pickle juice in gallon jugs and pour it over ice and drink it. It is so good.

[@MichelleGrooms-ch9bq]

Steven and Mandy are sweet and saucy or sweet and sassy together?😂😂😂😂. I love finger foods. That's what make life and food so great is when you have a wonderful husband like Steven adding his take to the videos? Usually he is tasting food which he still is but when he puts in his special little touches in the videos it makes it great.

[@marthaholcomb8148]

The two of you have the sweetest marriage. I really need to taste the watermelon, feta and balsamic!

[@tinalaws7506]

[@elaineoutdoors9581]

Everything sounds easy and delicious! As for the fruit salsa, here in California, the street fruit vendors put lime juice and a chili pepper powder condiment called Tajin and a sour liquid chili pepper based sauce called chamoy on top...it REALLY kicks ot up to a whole new level

[@MsV3]

I’m definitely making all of these! Mandy, I’ve been following you for years and I just recently found the “Feeding the Byrds” channel. I love her channel too and especially how she adds a Bible verse at the end of every episode. I’m so happy you gave her a shout out. There’s room for everyone and you’re a wonderful person. 🙏🏻

[@rhondadupras2477]

I love the ham and cheese and pickles, been doing those since I was a little girl, the ranch is a new addition for me

[@AmyDanberry]

I make the watermelon and feta into a salad type of thing. Cubed watermelon, crumbled feta and sprinkle some fresh mint in there with it. Its truly drool worthy

[@kellywestphal4133]

We use the Pickle rollups for appetizers at pot lucks too.

[@nicolehubbard3536]

"It says all-purpose." "I'm gonna show you a purpose!" 😂 And yes, I like pickles a lot.

You keep me so inspired each and every week!! Thank you

[@janette2422]

I recommend using the pickle juice when you empty the jar, and pickle eggs with some hardboiled eggs! Just plunk them in, peeled, and wait for 4-5 days, AND THEY'RE AMAZING!

[@lb1460]

Great idea!

[@robylove9190]

The pineapple ring cutter is one of my favorite kitchen tools! It makes cutting a pineapple easy instead of being a chore.

[@amandacostandine6026]

The pickle and ham thing, we usually call those Minnesota Sushi, its kinda a northern thing. I use spears though i like less pickle in the balance. Some people call them wagon wheels or my aunt calls them alligator eyes.

[@karencroft1322]

Feta and watermelon YES 🇨🇦🍉

[@catherinemcfarland6401]

Steven went for the pickles despite the cream cheese! He does like cream cheese, he just doesn't know it. :)

[@barbaraschmidt5062]

Haven’t made these in a long time. Minnesota sushi. I have never made it with hidden valley ranch. Just ham, pickle and cream cheese.

I just learned a new "tip". Instead of using the Hawaiian rolls and slicing them, use the Hawaiian "buns". They are already sliced...easy!!!!

My store carries King's Hawaiian pre-sliced slider buns. I bought them for a pot luck, very tasty.

Must be kosher dills, says this pickle lover, lol. Not only are they delicious, but the juice is THE best remedy for migraines!

Hey. You can bake the sliders in the box they come in. No need to mess a baking sheet. You could cut the strawberries with an egg slicer. Cut one way, turn 45 degrees and cut again. Love your recipes.

I've also heard those pickle roll ups be called "frog eyes" before, and it makes me love them even more lol. They're delicious!

For everybody who wants to tip the watermelon feta combo over the edge add prosciutto and some fresh mint on top.

I haven't seen the pickle roll ups in years! We had those at our wedding reception 32 years ago! They are delicious!

Mandy, instead of pineapple, use mango and add about a tablespoon of avocado oil. To die for. Great with grilled salmon.

[@maliaw8392]

Those are Midwest staple, you can chop it all up and make a dip, chop it all up and spread on tortillas for pinwheels, or if you’re like my oldest daughter? You use the cream cheese, ham and pickle slices and make your school lunch sandwich!❤

You can do a similar thing as red white and blue salad by combining watermelon, blue berries and feta

[@bbkeef1225]

Pickle roll ups are a staple in Minnesota. Often referred to as Minnesota or Lutheran sushi. A twist on them is to use margherita salami from the deli, whipped cream cheese and petite dill babies. There are never leftovers!
