[@mikemason4792]

My wife approves your channel. She says I can make what you make. I just retired and am learning to cook. She still works and I try to have a good dinner ready for her. Thank you.

[@beckyray8746]

So good having you back in the kitchen. Hope you’re feeling better. Loved the clip of your dad. And yes...would love to see some desserts.

[@MandyintheMaking]

So glad to be feeling better!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@bettyfeliciano7322]

I’m loving this channel! I’m a widow and I don’t cook much, but simple recipes are always good to me. Since the price of groceries has gone through the roof, I’m trying to make a crockpot or a baked dish that I can put half in the freezer. I love you & your family! Thanks for sharing! Blessings always! 🙏😊❤️

[@laurielyon1892]

Cole did a great job filling in for your husband. Glad to see him feeling more comfortable being on camera. Love his personality! Your Dad was a hoot also!! I would love the fiesta chicken...and of course the pie too!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Laurie 😊❤️

[@yvettegalvan9862]

Yesss Mrs.Mandy....please more desserts❣❣❣

[@will4jen822]

Your dad had my laughing.. so cute.. recipes looked so good

[@MandyintheMaking]

He is a mess!

[@OZARKMOON1960]

Just a quick tip; instead of vinegar into the potato salad, you can use the liquid from the pickles - sweet or dill ones - and it has just a little extra zing.

[@lisagavin3402]

I love your videos Mandy! With all of the unrest in the country now, your videos provide a place to escape! Thank you!!

[@ahleesha97]

You’re son is so funny! Also, I LIVE for Gracies cameos. 😇😻

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw, Gracie says hi!

[@saracortes1419]

Cole is so handsome, he carries himself so well! Good on you guys for raising such a gentleman :)

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much 💕

[@funbank1]

It’s like hanging out with friends enjoying supper together. Thank you for that. Hearing the compliments from Steve gives me life so I know it must for you too. Keep cooking and sharing my dear. Hugs.

[@sandralockard1401]

That cracked me up when your dad acted like he was choking. I have made several of your recipes and they were all keepers. Made the beer batter cod and homemade tartar sauce last night it was sooo good. Keep sharing!

[@MandyintheMaking]

That is one of our all time favorite ones!! Thanks Sandra!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

This video was so motivating, Mandy. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@marionsloan3020]

[@vediawhite8282]

Im in love with your daddy! He was to funny. And Batman Brody. Glad you are feeling better.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Batman Brody cracked me up. He had just been standing there in his swimming trunks and then all of a sudden I turn the camera over there and he was Batman 😂

[@teresaluthye1153]

You can tell a real moment of a Mom of a teenaged son - Don’t be weird. LOL! My son is 34 now, but I remember. Cole did a good job subbing for Steven! Your Dad is great! It makes me miss my Dad who died 6 years ago. Love to you Mandy.

[@jaceebailey5386]

You're dad is hilarious. That pie is something I'll definitely have to give a try

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's a ham! LOL Thanks for watching!

[@teresawebster6822]

Priceless... your dad's reaction is the same my dad does to me!! And then will say I hate to waste it so I'll keep eating ... like there is no tomorrow. It must be a southern dad thing! And the slow motion eating............. lol!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's always done that! Loli expected no less 🤣

[@inkedstardust85]

Glad you're feeling better! Your dad is adorable 😁 Can't wait to try the fiesta chicken casserole & the pie!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Amber!

[@sarahbattaglia2240]

I watch your channel at work when it's slow and your dad had me CRACK UP in this quiet office. His reaction was so hilarious. He seems like a jokester and I can tell him and your hubby probably have a great time together. That is great!

[@MandyintheMaking]

My dad and my hubby are two peas in a pod. LOL 😂

[@robinwoods756]

Your dad reminds if how my dad use to do things and I just want you to know I'm trying all of these recipes they look wonderful and Steven sold me on the green beans. You and Cole sold me on the chicken. They all are simple and I live simple. I'm from Tennessee and been married 35 years. It's just my husband and me now so simple is the name of the game. Thank you so much Mandy for sharing. My husband is going to love this pie.

[@MandyintheMaking]

You are most welcome, Robin! I hope y'all have a great weekend ❤️

[@lemoncrinckles]

I'm telling you, if Steven's reactions don't sell those dishes, I can't help you! It all looked so good. Your family is the cutest...a lot of fun. Thanks, Mandy. (:

[@hollyb5432]

Just finished eating the Fiesta Chicken Casserole - and it was delicious! I appreciate that you number your episodes...it makes it easy to find the video where you make a particular meal so I can watch it again before I make it.

[@stephanieevans9746]

Hi Mandy. I love the idea of a dessert at the end of your video's. My husband never skips dessert and I would love to find more of a variety for him and I watch your videos all the time. Who knew the crockpot was gonna be such a life saver.

[@bobbietharrington6690]

Love your family!! Your dad is so funny! This reminds me of our family when we get together! My dad is a fun loving character too

[@arthrodea]

Your Dad is HILARIOUS!! Best reaction ever!!!

[@nikkicola7373]

I love how versatile that fiesta casserole is because of the ingredients. Would be good with pasta or rice and with pork, chicken, ground beef or steak. Yum!

[@melanielester2106]

Your Dad is mint, I actually laughed out loud ! Nice for you all to be together. Food looked amazing as always, love the dessert feature! Best wishes from the UK X

Your Dad is absolutely precious. I make that chicken pasta but instead of black beans I use peppers & onions and for seasonings I use dry ranch. A friend made it years ago it's been one of my favorites. ❤

[@kathleenwoodruff8084]

We are from CT temporarily living in TN at a hotel. My husband's job is here for several months and I'm always trying to find meals I can make without an oven. I have our Instant Pot, one burner and can use a community grill by the pool. I made this meal for my husband and his crew on Friday night who have been working in 90 plus temps outside all week. Many of the guys are from the all over the south and missing home so I wanted to try something southern and the beans hit that mark. In the north, we pretty much steam fresh and smother them in something like olive oil, salt and fresh Parmesan. I've watched you make your beans many times and finally gave this one a try. (Cuz...bacon.) Lots of compliments about each item. The crew loved the meal from start to finish and went to bed with full bellies. Thanks!! P.S. Your dad is a ham. Adorable!

[@staceyking2020]

Everything looked delicious especially the pie OMGOODNESS!!! Your Dad has me rolling. I see where you get your quirky personality from. Love you, love your channel and love your family. You are blessed 🙏✝️

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha, yes I for sure have his sense of humor!

[@deannastahl6738]

[@tinaellis4844]

Yes always add deserts. I am always looking for new ideas. My family is always wanting desserts. Love seeing your family in the video. Your dad is funny.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks for your feedback, Tina!

[@seannewhouse4628]

I like corn in a lot of meals As a teenager i used to mix mashed with corn, peas, cheese, spur cream, hamburger and gravy you can make that as a mashed potato casserole it fills you up QUICK Mashed potatoes again! I must be craving big time....... Coffee in pot roast etc adds a flavor to it they say that spare rib meat in chili adds a LOT of flavor

[@toribannister7133]

I love Cole's sense of humor!

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's so much fun :)

[@toribannister7133]

I just finished the video and your Dad seems like a blast, too!

I love that pretty lemon bowl you made the potato salad in. Tfs your recipes.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you! Yes, I do too. I got it in a set from Sam's Club 😁

[@gingerparr4608]

Absolutely loved your dad's reaction! ❤ All the food looked delish!

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's a mess!

[@jessiesears7966]

I love your dad!! The dessert segment is a great addition! Could you do that at least once a month? I know you are going through a bit of a rough patch right now Mandy and Stephen, but the darkness won’t last long because God called forth light and he called it, good! Light removes the fear of darkness and reveals everything that is contrary to God’s will. Praying for all!

[@jimmysolomon9633]

Ahh your Dad is too cool! Awesome recipes!

[@MandyintheMaking]

The best! Thank you!

[@wendelinharrison9571]

[@MandyintheMaking]

He's a mess!

[@soundgal17]

I LOVE Cole reviews!! :D

[@MandyintheMaking]

Me too!

[@suefox5162]

I loved this video! loved your fathers face eating the pie!

[@HeatherTerry84]

Aww when you gave Gracie the chicken and her little purr like she was saying thank you, ugh my heart 🥺🥺🥺🥰 I’m definitely adding that fiesta chicken casserole to my meal plan for the upcoming week! My mom always made her potato salad with hard boiled eggs. She would cut them up and leave a couple just sliced in half and mix some into the mixture and then top it with the rest of the eggs for presentation purposes. And hers was always very mustard based which is what I honestly prefer. She also used dill pickles instead of sweet relish. Now I want to make her potato salad lol

[@MandyintheMaking]

Sounds yummy!

[@lindafocht810]

Love that you added a dessert.

[@jonilloyd1100]

Your dad is hilarious!!! Can’t wait to try these recipes!!

[@michellekranovich8325]

Everything looks so good. Live the desert ideas. Your dad is funny love it
