[@snowangel448]

I’m catching up on your older videos and they’re all excellent

[@marysprenger4591]

Mandy!!! Watching my smart TV and you came on, and I am hooked!!! I already did the chili with the yellow rice and the cheddar cheese soup! what a hit!!! I am still learning and watch you every night. Keep it up!! ♥

[@hellakitty4182]

You have the best channel! I’ve been binging it for the last 3 days. Seriously, you are amazing!!

[@jmbear628]

Just wanted to say...took your chicken thigh dish in a different direction. Had ground chicken meat and made the same sauce with the spinach and added me some onions and mushrooms and placed on my noodles. really nice and yummy delish.

[@VirginiaHale]

Oh boy got to do these this week! Yesh! 🤩🤗🤗🤭🤭💥💥💥💙💕💙

[@sandrawarrington7874]

Thank you Mandy! Grand slam recipes! I can’t wait I try all ! God bless

[@ceceliawood9072]

When I make sheet pan nachos, I spread the beans on the bottom then stick the chips into them. Then I put the meat & cheese on top.

[@oreosandmilk123]

You should try adding the refried beans to your meat. It makes them so creamy and delicious! Total game changer!

[@Lmcbrannon]

I know its not on this episode of your videos, but the sheet pan potatoes were a real hit in my home for dinner tonight.

[@lauralaforest309]

I also prefer to shred my cheese, seems to have more flavour. Can't wait to try these recipes.

[@lorrainepaz4834]

Everything you make always looks so delicious! 😋

[@JennyOSunshine]

Making the chicken thighs with spinach cream sauce as I type!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yum! I'm coming over for dinner!!

[@cassandras206]

You sound like me! I didn’t know how to really cook for the first 10 years of my marriage. But, now after attending cooking classes. Watching videos like yours. I vamped up my kitchen really cool w toys (vitamix, food processor, good knives, etc.) I find cooking to be fun. Your videos help so much w dinner ideas 💡!! Thanks 🥰

[@teresamcmeans566]

I got excited when I saw that you posted a new "what's for dinner " video!! 😁Everything looks so good!! Little Gracie is precious!! Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Teresa!

[@gloriahohman2790]

You are an amazing cook Mandy. I love watching you channel. Your hubby and son are so sweet and handsome y'all are just a beautiful family including your precious fur baby. ❤so glad I found your channel. Y'all and the Moss family are my favorites.

[@CookingwithJesusJ321]

Thank you!!! I love how relaxing your music is. Have a great day! ❤

[@janmclain6301]

I only found you recently, but love your videos, your family is so sweet. So refreshing for an old lady like me!

[@MrMrsyako]

I am so happy I found your page! I truly enjoy watching and getting ideas for my family! I'm a mom of 3 and need all the extra ideas I can get!

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm glad you found me too!! So happy to have you here!

[@carrievanvickle6052]

We like to thin out our refried beans with some sour cream and a little water. We also put the tomatoes on before putting in the oven. It warms them just a bit and makes them almost burst when you bite into them.

[@yogamom1898]

You really do such a great job with your channel. I can tell lots of thought and consideration go into all your videos. Love them! And your family is so precious

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hi Christina! Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰😘

[@crystalruegge7327]

We love to add sliced black olives to our tacos or nachos. *TIP* use liquid from the can of olives for some of the liquid needed for taco meat, it really adds to the flavor! 🌮

[@MandyintheMaking]

Great tip!!

[@bonniepwtf]

Everything looked so good.

[@helenwilliams8471]

Thanks for sharing these yummy recipes!! 😋

[@denisekiser9925]

The subbie supper was SO GOOD!! I made it last night along with your green beans. LOVED BOTH. This was the first time I have tried one of your recipes. THANKS.

[@ayozenia]

Omgosh that chicken recipe looks amazing! Your what’s for dinner videos never disappoint 😃

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!

[@michelleharris4014]

I’m having guests for dinner tonight and wish this Subbie Supper is what I was serving! This is gonna be on my to do list.maybe Catie can send in more recipes! Hint hint.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha!! It would be the perfect dish to entertain with! :)

[@conniejones9280]

The only major improvement of these recipes is using Gold Potatoes instead of dry Idaho potatoes! Golds are so very ,very creamy~ especially wonderful in soups to!! Yummo😋😋

[@karenminckler4198]

I love my chicken with lemon pepper seasoning. Crispy skin and the seasonings. OMG I could eat it every day.

[@emily--m]

Amazing recipes. I will definitely be making the chicken thigh one. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰

[@butlertube]

I love Gracie! She is so beautiful!

[@brendawischmeier1919]

Everything looks very good!!! Little Gracie likes cheese...my little girl Squirt loves cheese too!!!

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND SHOWING US WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@murphy81775]

Great recipes this week! We often cook with chicken thighs. They're so inexpensive but DELICIOUS. My husband likes them far more than the white meat.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yes they are soooo good!

[@leighsutherland6222]

That chicken dish looks great!

[@Cocobi1982]

I made the thighs and potatoes tonight. Definitely a win.

[@lynsleady]

We do a similar Mexican rice. It's the same recipe but we add a pound ground beef or turkey (whichever you prefer) & a can of corn. spread it into a 9X13, top it with American cheese slices & bake until the cheese it melted.. It's SO good.. I know the american cheese sounds weird but trust me, it's out of this world! It's a recipe I got from my husbands grandma, she called it Texas rice. If you're not trying to add to your dishes pile, I have also kept it in my skillet and just added the cheese & covered it until melted, any way you do it you can't go wrong!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Wow that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing! 😘

[@cindystrother7710]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING AS YOU GO AND THE TIPS

[@eileenkillen1481]

Gracie is a good girl!!! Tfs Mandy xxxx

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hehehe, she's a mess. :)

[@CookingwithShereen]

Hello Mandy, just found your channel. This looks delicious. Looking forward to following along..

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!! Glad you are here!

[@patiencecole5112]

Liking it before I even watch 👍💕

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw thank you!

[@sgia2154]

yep me too! Everytime! LOL!

[@amandaathome9757]

I love your relationship with your husband. He sure loves your cooking lucky man. Inspiration

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hehe we have a great relationship - he's my best friend ❤️❤️

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

They all looked delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@candywelborn7496]

If you coat your meat in flour prior to the egg dip...it helps the egg hold better so it ''breads'' the meat better.

[@keepingupwithkristy5502]

I understand those days that seem everything goes wrong ! But it so nice to have a simple recipe to do that is still very tasty! The best park is sitting down with my family and seeing them enjoy it! Makes that day so much better. Thanks for all your great videos! Just started my channel And loving it!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your recipes

[@MeloyKimberly]

Oh girl! I’ve been missing these so much! Makes my day 😊 have a great weekend!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Kimberly!

[@juliekeenum5016]

TGIMF!! Thank God it’s Mandy Friday!!! I missed you girl. So glad you are back with more yummy recipes for me to try. Have a blessed day 💖

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw thanks Julie!

[@bronyrat5424]

Love that you put the tips about the nachos in and told what you would do different next time.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks! I just wanted y'all to know!

[@debbiering2272]

You make the best meals!! Some channels ask for these off the wall ingredients/spices that you would only use once! Lol At Thanksgiving I made those simple mini apple pies with cinnamon biscuits you made. They were a HIT! I'm making them for Christmas too! Thank you for all these meals!! I'm trying the pork chops next!! In that chicken dish I would use the spinach too! I would have added mushrooms too! Lol Any dish I could add mushrooms to I do! Welcome back!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Debbie!!! I'm glad to be back! I love that you are finding inspiration here!

[@lisaolson6433]

Oh my! My mouth is watering! It all looked delicious🥰

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Lisa!

[@deborahwildman8214]

Yum!!! That subbie supper looks amazing. I am definitely going to try it!

[@MandyintheMaking]

You won't regret it, Deborah! 😘

[@AG-br3my]

Easier way for the rice: replace the chicken broth and all other seasonings with Knorr tomato bouillon when toasting the rice add a little bit of onion to it. Also, I love your channel and you make recipes look so easy!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!

[@bun04y]

I know that I'm coming in here very very late (blame KZbin for suggesting it now) but on the pork chops... I just cook mine from the start in the oven (no frying pan!). Spray some oil on your baking sheet, then spray the tops of the chops with oil also. Bake for 20 min, flip and 20 min more. Done. There's a chance that they're done sooner, but I've never checked (just followed momma's recipe!)

[@brendasimon7763]

Number 3 to comment and the 8th to love... Gotta go some where, but will watch as SOON as I'm back.. ❤

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Brenda!!!

[@suzziem1122]

Love your taco stuffed peppers crave them constantly... also love your mexican rice though I have tweaked it a bit... instead of tomato sauce, I added a can of rotel tomatoes... mmm so good...

[@maryreynolds5310]

Ok Mandy, I’ve been putting it off way too long! I will have a recipe to you by the end of the weekend! Lol Now to watch your video xo

[@lindiesi1]

Yay glad to see a new what’s for dinner! Here’s my recipe for mexican rice 😊 it’s super yummy also. Mexican Rice 2 Cups Long Grain White rice A couple Tablespoon of Canola or Vegetable oil 4 Cups of Water 1/2 Large Onion Diced 1 Knorr Soft Chicken Bouillon Cube 1 Can of Rotel with Lime and Cilantro Onion Salt Onion Powder Garlic Salt Garlic Powder Cumin (Go lightly on this) - [ ] Start by heating up Canola Oil - [ ] Add your rice - [ ] Heat till it starts to lightly brown - [ ] Add 1/2 onion - [ ] Add 1 cube of broken up chicken bouillon - [ ] Add 4 cups water - [ ] Add the can of Rotel of your choice (I use the lime and cilantro) - [ ] Add your Seasonings (lightly on the salts or you can over Salt easily. You can always add more after it's done.) - [ ] That's it and I keep heat high for about 2 min, give it like 2 stirs and then cover for 21 mins Lower heat to a simmer or as low as you can. After it's done turn off heat, slide lid to side to let out steam and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hi Linda! This looks yummy! Thank you for taking the time to type this up. In the future, please send your recipes to my email address [e-mail] so that I don't lose track of them in the comments. 😘😘😘

[@Sandra-qt4wr]

Will definitely try these

[@lorijulian8368]

These are some awesome recipes Mandy! Not sure if anyone mentioned it but Chihuahua cheese can be found in most grocery stores now and it's amazing. It has a low melting point and goes great on nachos and can also be used to make queso cheese dips.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!!! I'll definitely look for it!

[@aprilhampton6298]

I like to mix salsa with my refried beans to make them easier to spread.

[@lindyarcher3807]

Just seeing this today. I made nachos the other day. Almost the same recipe except I mixed the beans in with the beef. I happened to have bone broth so I used that to get the right consistency. I mixed the taco seasoning in the entire thing. I added avocado on top. I had cilantro and of course I forgot to put it on. It was really good

[@clittle1807]

I will be making all of these soon.

[@sondramiller9104]

Well, you did it again. Great recipes. Can’t wait to try everything. Hope you are having a great week. Love you guys!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Sondra! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@lornahill5728]

I am always looking for new ways to dress up pork chops, and discovering this recipe, in addition to using thinly pork chops was a game changer for me!

[@krislm5140]

Thanks Mandy! Another great video. Can’t wait to try out some of these recipes this week.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks!

You're in for a treat! 🥰

[@CamayCannon]

Who likes a video before they watch it? ME thats who! I need that cheese grater Mandy!! Looks amazing. This one is more effective because you can see where you're grating the cheese. The standing graters make it hard to see once you get going and you can easily cut yourself. Thanks for sharing. Those pork chops!! yum!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you girl!!

Hi Mandy, I recently found your channel and subscribed. I have been binge watching. I love your channel and your sweet family. I look for meals that can be prepared fairly quickly, not complicated, and something my husband and son will eat, and oh that are tasty also. Thank you for providing the recipes and links. I already have so many I want to try. You are making the weekly grind of what's for dinner, much easier, with so many ideas. Thank you!

[@MandyintheMaking]

So glad to have you here, Deb!

[@dorawedlock3969]

First video of yours I have ever watched and already a big fan! I know what I will be doing tonight. Feeding my recipe box.

[@teamroperstud]

If you will add a little mayo to the refried beans it will make them so much more creamy. Sounds weird I know but trust me its good. I make my own refried beans using ranch style beans. Little oil in the pan the. Add a can of drained ranch style beans and use a potato smasher just like you would mashed potatoes. Add a little mayo and your done! ~rooster

[@kkvanpelt6768]

so happy your back your recipes are so yummy love your videos

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much!

[@beckyshreck9624]

My daughter loves Mexican rice. I will have to try this recipe.

Hi Mandy! Try substituting your milk for evaporated milk and adding about a half teaspoon of accent! I love watching your channel!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you for the suggestions, Kayla! 😘

[@oliviaharper802]

I haven’t been watching pretty much any videos in the past couple weeks because we were moving 30 hours away, now that i’m back into a house and done with the traveling portion of this move i can finally start catching up on videos and cooking again! I’m so over eating out and can’t wait to try out some of these recipes!

I have a tortoiseshell cat named Gracie Sue. When you want to drain just small amounts of fat from beef, you can just use a couple of white paper towels and wipe the pan with meat still in.So easy!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Great idea! And hi to Gracie Sue!!

[@caitlinbrooks1085]

Hey Mandy. I have been watching your videos for quite some time. I love Steven's taste tests. I wish my hubby was more descriptive about my cooking hahaha. I wanted to recommend a seasoning to you. if you can't find it I'd love to send it to you. It's called Steak n chop seasoning by Webber. You can usually find it at Walmart/food lion. It's great on steaks, pork chops, chicken, beef... Everything.
