Slow Cooker Recipes to Serve at Your Christmas Meal

[@ceebedor7290]

Is is too precious to see you playing with your little hearing impaired kitty… the way you hold her to your body so that she can kind of feel what you are saying. Touching and beautiful to behold. Take care.

[@cherylbond1556]

Can you say, ADORABLE CHILDREN....❣️❣️❣️

[@cherylbond1556]

I feel like I have to try every one of these recipes. My mouth watered all the way through the video. 😄😄 Oh my goodness you remind me so much of your Mom. You both have the same laid-back, just do you, beautiful perspective that makes me smile! 💕💕💕

[@mimismegalife4976]

The pecans!!!!! Oh my goodness YES 🥰

[@LovelyDarling1928]

Jacques Pepin says to wash your mushrooms with water, but only just before you cook with them. He is a true icon in my eyes! Love the recipes and Merry Christmas!

[@lilrustee]

ATK says the same thing. Just rinse them and dry them and they’ll be fine.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Oh honey, so fancy and delicious looking! I love everything! Thanks for doing this really fun collab with me, I have enjoyed it so much 😊

[@MealsWithMaria]

Thank you!!! Such a great one!!!

[@phyltorkelsonp9268]

Maria, I am 68 years old, and I have hardly ever bought potatoes but what some of them don’t have eyes….just trim them off and the potatoes are good to use, just like you said! I am just an ordinary every day cook, but I love it!

[@MealsWithMaria]

It’s important for people to know ❤️ I think there is this idea everything has to be perfect and it’s just not realistic

[@shelliestorevik6855]

No need to ever apologize for your babies laughing and having fun even during work hours....it brings joy to my heart to hear the little ones...hold on to these moments, they are fleeting and one day you will wish these days could return.... Everything looks delicious....I love my crockpot and will be trying these..... Have a blessed day and hold your greatest blessings tight tonight, in the blink of an eye, they will be grown.

[@MealsWithMaria]

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀😀🎉🎉❤️❤️

[@wheatie83]

Maria you did it again. Everything looks delicious

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Maria. I'm coming to you from Mel's channel. It seems you and I are somewhat neighbors. I'm in Northern Maine. I truly enjoyed your video and the recipes you chose to share with us. My widowed dad is a true nut lover, so I will definitely be making your Candied Cinnamon Pecans for him. I have NEVER attempted Coq Au Vin, and I'm 61 years old, but your recipe was so straightforward, I think even I could manage it. I am subscribing to your channel and look forward to many more recipes and "visits" with you. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Hi Cindy! I’m so glad you joined me from Mel’s! I’m gearing up for the big storm coming and I’m thinking you’ll get it worse than us! Stay safe!

[@kathleenelias0]

my mom was born and raised in Sanford, but a distant ancestor helped found Kittery Maine

[@MealsWithMaria]

Wow! So cool!

[@shelzp7272]

I always appreciate when you remind us to use what we have ✔️✔️✔️

[@MealsWithMaria]

😀😀 always!!

[@laurieelhelaly2165]

I’m here at your channel visiting from Mama Mel. All your food looks wonderful. I enjoyed watching you. I’ll be back real soon. Take care. Laurie from Omaha, NE.

Love mama mel

[@christophervogt7456]

All looks delicious as usual Maria!

[@erinrich2600]

We're doing slow cooker meals for Christmas. So far split pea soup and Frogmore Stew are on the menu. It makes things so much easier!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yummm!!

[@kathleenelias0]

What is frogmore stew if you don't mind me asking?

[@erinrich2600]

@@kathleenelias0 it's also called a low country boil. It's shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob cooked in a broth.

[@toastedmarshmallowkitchen7911]

My cousin makes candied pecans for Christmas🎄❄️ So so delicious!!!

[@MealsWithMaria]

❤️🙏 love it!

[@dmmrad54]

I am going to my sister's house for Christmas, but I always fix something for home. I have a chuck roast in the freezer. I will probably make that.

[@judylynne22]

Came from Mama Mel’s Looking forward to following you! 🎄❄️☃️

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yay! I’m so glad you’re here Judy!! Enjoy!

[@lynfarnsworth364]

Looks yummy. Pomegranate juice is a good substitute for red wine. I got the one from a French chef.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh thank you!!!

[@theresatetreault2105]

Just found you! So happy about that because I Love using my crock pot and I live in NH also! It's a win win!

[@MealsWithMaria]

That is so cool!!! Love finding NH friends on here! ❤️❤️❤️ I have lots of slow cooker videos too !

[@jacquemcarthur9783]

What an awesome video....I'm going to do those pecans and scalloped potatoes for sure...Merry Christmas 🎄⛄♥️♥️♥️

[@teresalarge3088]

All looks so delicious!!! I will definitely try the pecans!! 🤎

[@MealsWithMaria]

Yes! Totally worth it!

[@lisaward3890]

Maria; another fantastic video,i love love crimini mushrooms. I do run mine under running water,then pat them with absorbent paper( paper towel,paper napkins)then chop them up and use in alfredo sauce! Your mushrooms in thin sauce looked like it could have been served over pasta or cooked rice!Scalloped potatoes cooked in the crock pot is such an oven saver! Thanks for the reminder! Your children are treasures and what are the holidays all about,except for the children! Loved your video! Also loved the crockpot roasted pecans! Think i may need to give that one a try!Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@MealsWithMaria]

Merry Christmas! Great ideas! Enjoy the nuts!!

[@sarahbergelin4075]

Thicken that mushroom sauce with a bit of cornstarch and turn it into a pasta sauce

[@JuliaCantley]

I stopped just "wiping" my mushroom bc it takes way too long and I wash them now bc I don't have time for that. lol Great meals by the way!

[@MealsWithMaria]

😅 agree I’ll be going back to washing now

[@charlenebrady9225]

[@Bon698]

Scalloped Potatoes without onions? insane!

[@mylittlepony-s1m]

cool

[@harpersmythe658]

If there is a small ‘point’ on the side of your veg peeler (level with the blade) that is supposed to be for taking the eyes out of the potatoes. Not my tip, I saw it on another channel (sorry I can’t remember which one) but I just thought I would pass it along 👍🏻

[@MealsWithMaria]

I think it was Mandy in the Making! I saw that yesterday!!

[@harpersmythe658]

@@MealsWithMaria actually Maria I think it was maybe Chef Jean Pierre. BUT, I will check out Mandy’s channel. Thanks for the tip x

[@lauripine8894]

Great video, always love your recipes but I have a question...you didn't through that egg yolk away, did you?

[@carolneal3785]

Love K trading post 😊

[@justchilling2044]

Can the sugars in the pecans be stevia?

[@christineconley7903]

I've used monk fruit and Swerve brown sweetener. They work fine.

[@MealsWithMaria]

Oh no! Absolutely didn’t mean to call you out! I appreciate the different information. Please always share Kathy. I’m embarrassed it came out that way 😵‍💫 I appreciate you ❤️

[@nruss]

@@MealsWithMaria Maria, you're so nice and gracious. You did nothing wrong. Often there seems to be comments stated as fact, without considering other's knowledge or preference. I, too heard the same as you regarding mushrooms!

[@milliefigueroa5754]

Seven hours on the instant Pot? That’s not instant, we might as well use a crockpot. Are you ok? Hitting the eggnog a little bit early🥳, still love you girl 🙏🏼🤗🥰😘🫶🏻

[@MealsWithMaria]

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I used the slow cooker setting on the instant pot 😀
