The french onion chicken in the crockpot was the first recipe I ever made. I came discouraged because my 8yo son has "food issues" and it has been so hard to get him to eat! I did not go into this recipe with high hopes, but thank the Good Lord, he LOVED it AND asked for seconds (he has literally never asked for seconds in his whole little life)! He also LOVES to watch your videos, and together we pick a couple of meals each week he thinks he'd like to try! Your channel has truly been a huge blessing to us!

[@nicolecourtney8688]

As a mom of a child with food aversion issues, this warmed my heart so much ❤ so happy for your little one and you!

[@SharonLaBolle]

Aww, that's great

[@staciegordon5949]

You, Mandy in the Making, and Brenda Gnatt have taught this Yankee all about cooking and gracious Southern women. Keep up the great work, and congratulations on your success!

[@friendohio9302]

Is there a place I can find a printed recipe.

[@pauletteingulia3107]

I appreciate the fact that you use packaged items in your meal preparation and show us how to make them even better! A lot of ‘chefs’ tend to kick these items under the counter as if they were no good but they are there and can be delicious and we all use them! Thank you for being so down to earth.

[@heatherhays1141]

Congratulations on the success. One reason I love this channel is the community feeling. It starts with you being so genuine and welcoming. Then it spills to the comments area where I have seen members love and support each other. My first recipe was your Salisbury steak in the slow cooker....tonight's chicken looks yummy

[@kellijohnson6997]

Crockpot Salisbury steak is the first recipe I tried and still an absolute family favorite! You are such a blessing and love watching your videos.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you! You are a blessing to me! And that is probably the #1 best ever crockpot meal I've ever made or shared! 😊

[@angeliquerael]

That sounds good! I hope I can find her recipe!

[@theresaweinstiger2729]

Everything always looks so delicious! I can't wait to try the tortilla cheese bread!

[@karmaisreal261]

Just watched this with my 7 year old niece and she really likes you! "I like Momma Mel!" Bless you and your family, so grateful for you and for giving us something to share.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Oh that blesses my heart ❤️ thank YOU for being a part of this wonderful community

[@donnaarmstrong7537]

All of your recipes look so good, but I love the chicken ones best of all. I can't wait to buy the cheese for the first dish & try it. All of the food looked so good for your daughter's reception!

[@jensenfamily7207]

That was a sweet message Mel! Congratulations on your storefront. I think the first “recipe” I tried from you was doctored up mashed potatoes and wondering why I’d never thought to replace some of the water with milk! 😊 I love your channel and thank you so much for all you do to share recipes with us each week.

[@megthill]

Girl, that tortilla cheese toast looks amazing, I plan on making all of these recipes. Congrats on the 100,000 + subs way to go!!! I think it was you that made the Ceasar dressing chicken, it's one of my favorites. Sweet baby peas are my go to veggie. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Oh honey, that bread is as dangerous as that crockpot chocolate lava cake from last week 🤣 And LOVE the ceaser chicken too. Thanks so much for being here friend!

[@CrystalM964]

Hey sweet Momma Mel! I can’t remember the very first recipe I’ve made from your channel, but I have at least 50 of them printed out and they are always in my meal planning preparation/rotation weekly….in fact I made the Biltmore (NC native here ❤) inspired pecan crusted chicken tonight, and your chili-o-chili last night,and anytime we make burgers now, it’s definitely with Heinz 57, lawry’s seasoning salt and Worcestershire sauce, and no other meatloaf besides Mary’s from the first time I tried it a while back, no other meatloaf compares..and I’m gonna run to the grocery store in the morning to get some of that Boursin cheese and make that chicken tomorrow night, it’ll be my first time using it, and I’m super excited!! Thank you for always being so thoughtful, kind and positive, and making your channel feel like home, and always showing your faith without hesitation, you are a breath of fresh air and I just love you, your family and channel and am so very thankful for you!! Love and blessings always, Crystal ❤

[@donnafilice5457]

Congratulations on hitting 100,000 and beyond! Very exciting! That Boursin chicken may be my favorite recipe so far! I found your channel during the Christmas season - those are my favorite videos. All the cozy vibes! 😊 A well deserved success, Mel!

[@dianadelaney6497]

Hello 👋 the smothered pork chop crock pot recipe was the first recipe I tried form ur channel so naturally that lead to the Salisbury steak and the French onion dip bubble up and I have been trying at least 1 or 2 a week ever since. You have no idea how much of a godsend your channel has been! Quick hood home cooked dinners on sports or busy nights was a game changer for our family and when my oven went I was crock pot cooking many nights over the summer and trying so many new recipes that my family loved. Congratulations on your 100k subscribers. We are here and come back every week because the recipes are real good real quick and real life. Thank you!

[@kitkat-fw3wy]

Can’t remember the first recipe I tried but I know I’m definitely trying this chicken dish! It looks so comforting with the mashed potatoes and peas! AND Congratulations on your number of subscribers. I always look forward to your new videos. It feels like I’m in my friend’s kitchen chatting away while she’s cooking a great meal! Thanks for all you do❤

[@lavernejones4471]

Hi Mel. Congratulations! I’m so, so proud of you! I love your honesty and your humble attitude.❤️ I remember the first time I watched one of your videos. As soon as you opened your mouth, I knew that I had to subscribe! To me you were that television mom that everyone could relate to. You deserve every accolade you receive. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations again. Love your merch!🥳🥳🤗💕

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you so much friend 💗

[@maryhallsommers8997]

Aunt Mel, I can hardly wait to see what yummies you are bringing to us each show!!! I so appreciate you, your time, and your delicious, easy recipes! 💜💕💜💕💜

[@tinahyatt1722]

I love the fact that you want everything to be simple, quick, and in one pan. As a busy mom with teenagers, this is how life works best for meals. I am so thankful for you and your channel. It reminds me of cooking with my mom ❤

[@jessicaparks1147]

Congratulations Momma Mel!!! After I saw you make that chocolate lava cake in the crockpot I just knew I had to make it... Delicious and sinful!!!

[@1CathyHendrix]

I remember exactly what I first made when I began watching you, because I still make it to take to church dinners, reunions, holiday meals, and get togethers with friends. It is your chicken pot pie braid. It is always a hit! And you made it so simple and easy to prepare. It will always be in my arsenal of recipe's from your channel. I knew after watching you for just a short time that your channel was going straight to the top. You are so sweet and kind, and my kind of cook! Congrats on what is now 117k subscribers! So very happy for you! You have only just begun! You are the Paula Deene of Tennessee! God bless sweet lady! Update us about the wedding when you can!

[@mississippigirl]

Hi Mel! I am so happy to see you tonight. I have tried many of the recipes you've shared. Our favorites are your delicious green beans and the French onion chicken bubble up bake. It is such a joy to watch you cook, and I love the time I spend with you every Sunday. May God continue to bless you!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Honey, that French onion chicken bubble up is a fav of ours too! Thank you for always being such an encouragement and light here ✨️ I appreciate you

[@annetteellis4188]

My first recipe was the French onion crockpot recipe. I love that I can serve your homemade dishes at my family meals. Mel, thank you for being you. I love homemade and family, the perfect combination. Thank you.

[@tinkerbellwiz]

[@noelles3595]

Hi Momma Mel. I love your sincerity and stating that each one of us is a person, not a number. I hope that you have a great day today. I get a lot of great inspiration from the recipes you make even if I don't follow it to the letter. It helps me to plan meals for the week.

[@pwhitkinn4543]

First recipe I ever made was the Pork Chops in the slow cooker with chicken broth, cream of chicken soup plus other ingredients. It was so good I've made it many times since.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Oh that's a good one! Thanks for watching and being a part of this wonderful community ❤️

[@nickhayburn1919]

First dish my wife cooked of yours was Taco Bubble Up bake. One of my favorites. The 1st dessert sge made was your banna pudding. Congratulations on reaching that many viewers, you are very good at explaning how to cook. My wife, Angela and I enjoy your cooking channel. Love instant potatoes because of how you make them!

[@paisleychick]

Oh wow, that tortilla garlic bread! Yum!! Love your channel, it's like we're having a nice chat while we're in the kitchen. ❤ First recipe, was I think, your loaded tater tot cups. It could have been your chili, as well.

[@jeffbovard-levesque3509]

Not here for a prize, just here to congratulate you on your milestone! You've put in so much hard work and I so appreciate you and your laid back style. My favorite recipe is the Olive Garden Chicken made in the slow cooler. I make it at least twice a month. I've shared it with so many friends as well. Thanks for being Mel! Good Bless, love you lady❤!

[@lindaliddell-o8p]

I always enjoy the ease of your videos.. Who says cooking has to be hard? I especially like the bubble up recipes. So much so that I ordered the Pillsbury cookbook from Thrift Books. But Marys meatloaf was the first thing I made. It was delicious. Thanks so much and congratulations on 100,000 subscribers.

[@西園寺佳奈]

I also love them.

[@jenatucker492]

My first I think was the cheeseburger gnocchi. I've made it several times. Looking forward to checking out your merchandise 😁❤!! Oh and the nutter butter banana pudding yum!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hey Aunt Mel and friends. I missed you and chatting with everyone last Sunday. Thank you, everyone who has been praying for us and our oldest granddaughter. We met her and her mom last night. The visit went really well. We plan to meet up more. Again, thank you for all the prayers. God Bless.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I missed you too! And that's great about how well the meet up went 😀 God is good ❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel yes, He is Aunt Mel. We can't thank Him enough.

[@TracyShead-Stamey]

I know this comment was for Mel, but I wanted to show my support. It can be difficult meeting someone for the first time. I am happy for you and your family. Grandchildren are such a joy. May everyday bring you and yours joy and happiness.

[@mississippigirl]

I am so glad the meeting went well. I know your granddaughter is beautiful!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@@TracyShead-Stamey it's not only for Mel. It was for all of you who prayed over us and the visit. I wanted y'all to know it went really well and we plan to meet up again. Our grandchildren are a blessing to us.

[@janicenash8382]

So happy for you, such a sweet talented delicious cook. My family loved your quick meals. We are all in a hurry to get home for a quick yummy meal. Thanks with love and prayers. Janice 🙏❤️❤️🙏

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Congratulations Aunt Mel on over 100k. You might not be my real Aunt, but you're my KZbin Aunt. I don't remember the first recipe I've made of yours. I've tried a multiple of your recipes and we've loved all of them.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you Mrs Alma for how you ALWAYS show love and support to EVERYONE here in our community ❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel you're welcome, Aunt Mel. I'm blessed to follow some of the best channels and a bonus is we watch a lot of the same ladies.

Congratulations on your 100k . I made the siders and several others. Love your channel.❤

[@whitneyhall673]

I love your merch and your show! I look forward to it every Sunday! U are so encouraging, down to earth and inspiring. It’s hard to find these qualities on social media . Please Keep bringing us ur amazing recipes. My little girls love watching with me!

[@caylaharris7476]

I am absolutely thrilled that you've reached this milestone! Theres no way but up from here. Your channel feeds my soul as well as my family. I wish you all the luck.

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Mel I look forward to Sunday night after church so I can catch up with what you are cooking. Love your channel. I have been watching for a while but I think I first made your kings Hawaiian sliders. I know your family will be busy this month with your daughters wedding. Sending you all many blessings

[@kathylanigan6745]

Hi Mel, I really have enjoyed watching you. I tune end for the great dinner ideas. I have made several of your recipes, but we have found ourselves hooked on the Pizza Tots. I get tons of easy, economical dinner ideas from you. Thanks again Mel.

[@stephanier4723]

The first recipe of yours that I made was the Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo. I just made it again last Friday. My family also loves your crescent roll apple dessert. I love your videos. I you make me laugh with your honest, down to earth, vernacular.

[@Pinkfong2]

I so enjoy you and your cooking. I like how you chop things and do things really. Just as I do. You’re also very calming. These are things I enjoy. I am at a time of life I need easy things and some fresh ideas. First thing I did from your show was to add butter lettuce with the croutons colored things on top. It always looks so pretty. So I didn’t cook a recipie first,I incorporated a salad on the side but the way you did it. It got me rolling after that and I try to make my dishes look pretty. I love it.

[@nancyrodgers129]

Hi, Mama Mel. I’m so happy for you. I love your channel and consider you a friend. I don’t remember the first recipe I made but the next one will certainly be the air fryer tortilla bread. Looking forward to many more videos and conversations ❤

[@articowl2]

I just found your channel so this is also the first video I’ve watched. I was only a minute in when I hit subscribe. I just knew this is the type of channel I like watching. Looking forward to watching and cooking. 👍.

[@lesliejones7018]

Congratulations on your milestone of subscribers! I always look forward to seeing you cook as I'm not able to do so right now. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis several months ago and some things like cooking, dressing, and driving are a struggle. Love your uncomplicated and delicious looking recipes and am looking forward to the day I can cook some of them too. ❤❤❤

[@SylviaMackley]

Congratulations on the merchandise!! You have great recipes and I really enjoy the idea on how to make canned green beans so much better for a quick side dish! I like so many of your recipes that it's hard to pick a favorite. I'm originally from East TN and am so happy that you share some good home cooking that is easy for us busy ladies ❤

[@berthabyrd6898]

Hey Mel,Congratulations 117k subscribers and you are well deserved,you are so loved and i love you!💖👻🌻🍁🍂

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Mel I just got a new toaster oven with an air fryer function. Any tips? Not sure long long to cook things. Love the paw print cookies. Will be making.

[@susantipton4036]

The first recipe that I made from one of your videos was the chicken casserole that was a staple in your house. It had the Pepperidge Farms Dressing mix on top I can't remember it's name though but it was delicious.

[@dalex60]

The Auntie Nono's Everything Seasoning you feature in your clips, is just what most restaurants call "house seasoning". You can make your own, by combining 1 Cup of salt, with 1/4 Cup each of ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

[@stacynorris7333]

I love all your recipes! I have made many. Everything you make is something everyone would have in the kitchen. I love you take something store bought and kick it up a notch to make it taste even better. Keep it up! You are doing great!

[@susanlee8826]

Hi Mel. I just wanna say I love your channel. Makes me feel like I am back in Georgia. Your casseroles are delish and my family loves your crockpot recipes as I have made quite a few. Good luck with your merch and congrats on your 100,000 subscribers.❤❤

[@charlottekennemer4050]

Mel, congratulations on the success of your channel. I know you have worked to make it a success! My favorite recipe is the chicken and cornbread casserole. It is good, but it is also versatile. I like that! You also suggest such good eats!

[@sandybowman7140]

Mel, I am SO PROUD of u and ur big 100k accomplishment! U have been my calm respite every Sunday nite and I love how easy & open u are about ur love for Jesus! I got a T-Shirt last Summer that says "Y'ALL NEED JESUS" thinking of u. The best testimony we can give is our love matching Jesus' big heart in everything we do & say. I wasn't making too many recipes at first bc I just loved the feeling of "talking about food & recipes" like I did with my dear Mom after she passed in 2022. I've gotten over more of the grief now & just love the Chicken Pot Pie recipe where u dump the wet cornbread on top & bake it. It turns it into more of a Chicken Cobbler as it runs down and bakes into the most delicious crust! Quintessential Southern! Thank u for cultivating *Community* with all those who gather here. I loved these recipes tonite & love seeing the pics of Callee's Wedding Shower too! Have a blessed week sweet Sis/friend, may God continue to bless u thru & thru!! 🙋‍♀️🎯🙏🧎‍♀️💞💞💞

[@loriweaver5776]

Congratulations on hitting 100k! The first recipe I made was the Salisbury steak. It's a family favorite. I always look forward to your videos. Keep those great recipes coming.

[@Southerngirl0997]

[@mariaalsup4895]

Congratulations on your channel 🎉 I enjoy all the cozy recipes you make & your energy just makes me feel right at home every time I watch 😊 I believe the first recipe i made of yours is the Southwestern chicken taco mixture. I make quesadillas out of it & my family loves it. Plan to make it again this week 😊

[@laurelashley5386]

I just started watching but I love your sincerity and cooking ❤️

[@melissab1044]

That’s great! I have only been following you for a month or so. I’m going to try the Boursin chicken 😍

[@lisanewman3543]

First time visiting your channel. Sometimes the video recommendations work out in my favor. Great recipes to try very soon.

[@Nikkif8]

Do you type a lot? Or do repetitive motions with ur arms and hands. In regard to not being able to open the jars. I like how you look at it as just tightening the lid too tight ;)

[@colleendoss5366]

I really love the 7 cornbread recipes I have made 3 of them so far I made the one with the hamburger and pinto beans last night my grandson said it was his favorite one so far next will be the one with sloppy joe they were all very delicious...Thank you ! And Congratulations on your subscriptions 🎉

[@barbarabrown385]

Congratulations Mel!!! I made the chicken meal from this video tonight. It turned out great, the chicken was very tender and the sauce was awesome. Thanks Mel, for all your recipes. I look forward to always watching your videos.

[@paulamcleod1227]

100K subscribers! How awesome for you! You are real and I love watching your menus. Not sure about those canned peas though! I guess I grew up on too many canned vegetables. I used to put them in a napkin or drop them on the floor for the cat. I'm sure I wasn't fooling my mom.....

[@vickipitchford3209]

I love you and your channel. Recipes are always easy to follow and delicious. Keep on blessing us each week.

[@kandylish]

I’ve gotten so many great recipe ideas from you over the years Mel. Congrats on your huge accomplishments and so very proud of you! 🎉🍾👏🥂 The Boursin chicken and ravioli sauce looked delicious so I’ll have to try them 😘

[@cathyburns750]

Hi Mel! Those recipes looked sooo great! Especially the Boursin one. I could eat a whole round of that stuff at one time. The cookies were adorable! Your daughter's shower looked like so much Fun! Congratulationa to her and her fiance! God bless!!

[@TalesFromAnEmptyNest]

[@Vickilovesfood]

Congratulations! I love watching your videos, you have such a beautiful heart that shines through in your chatting and cooking 😊 the first recipe I tried of yours was the ham sliders, and I’ve since made many variations of them! I’m looking forward to trying out your sweet potato casserole for Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend too!

[@teacherinrecovery]

My last jarlic got stuck all the time too. KZbin inappropriate amount of sauce 😂

[@ellenb2498]

Thanks for all you do, Mel. I like to improvise in the kitchen, as well as follow recipes. That said, you have been a great influence on my pantry and freezer. I always have cream of chicken soup on hand, different cheeses, cream cheese, ro-tel, many of your basic items. I have been using the crock pot all summer! I love your tip for pre cooking, shredding, and freezing chicken so it's available. I also recommend you to many friends looking for real food inspiration. You are delightful. Thanks for having us over to your kitchen!

[@nocakimmie]

Hi Mel, I think our family favorite is your crockpot Salisbury Steak. But I have a feeling that the Air Fryer Tortilla Cheesy Garlic Bread is going to become a favorite tomorrow!!

[@leonaday1515]

Hi Mel, I have tried many of your recipes and loved them all. I really can't remember the first one, but the ones I love the best is the crock pot dinner meals as well as the idea to cook chicken in the crock pot for the week. Congratulations on your 100,000 followers! You're my favorite. 😊😊

[@frannie8189]

Mel, THANK YOU for sharing Callie’s shower pics - I enjoy seeing pics of you and your family. Congratulations on your new merch! Please don’t enter me in the drawing …but I wanted to let you know we’ve enjoyed your crescent roll recipes and game day sliders! I’ve even ordered Jammin Jams and tried on grilled cheese! I have to also THANK YOU for helping me get through a rough year…I’ve fought and won a battle with stage 4 uterine and ovarian cancer this year and more than once I have put your channel on “play all” to just have your voice playing for me. At night when my dear hubby had gone to sleep and too late to call someone…you have calmed my soul and been the comfort I needed. You are a blessing and I appreciate you more than you will ever know. ♥️❤️♥️ May God bless you and yours…

[@sandybowman7140]

Awwwe, Frannie, that is the sweetest post I've read in a long time! First, I am SO GLAD u have gotten thru ur cancer & beat it, and 2nd I couldn't agree with u more about Mel's sweet soul and comfort. My Mom had just died when I started watching Mel & Sundays were always our nite where we shared recipes. I think I listened to Mel's voice for comfort too in the middle of some nights. God bless u dear Frannie, I'll be praying u find life so much sweeter now that u have overcome! Sending u hugs & beautiful Fall breezes from beautiful West Michigan! 🧎‍♀️🙏✋💞💞💞💞🍁🎃🍂

[@joanstrader4243]

Love spending Sunday nights with you. First recipe I tried was tater tot pizza cups. Have tried so many since then. Lots of new favorites. I’m retiring in 12 days and can’t wait to make so many more of your dishes. Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations on your success, Mama Mel! It's well-earned & deserved. I remember coming across you when you had about 32k subscribers and I remember being shocked because you were so comforting & warm + made AMAZING, easy, and yummy recipes. Loved you then, love you still, always have, always will. Thanks for being you!

[@lorettataylor3374]

Congrats on your achievement Mel. The first thing I cooked from your videos is your Lemonade pie. I made two of them and gave the neighbor one. Simplicity at its best.❤

[@auntiepam5649]

Honestly I am so thankful I came across your channel. I wasn't taught how to cook when I was younger and watching your videos has really broadened what I'm comfortable making. The olive garden pasta in the crockpot meal has become my fiancé and I's FAVORITE dish, we have it a couple times a month now and the leftovers are always so good too. Listening to you talk about how the numbers are nice but the people behind it are what matters made me tear up. You really are the sweetest

So excited you launched your merch line!! I know I've tried many of your recipes. But, the one that stands out to me that I've made the most is the taco bake you made with chili/cheese fritos. That is on regular rotation in our house!

[@kimschacht4284]

I’ve made so many of your recipes. I look forward to what delicious recipes you will come out with every Sunday. The first recipe and still a family favorite is Stella’s chicken casserole. I meal prep every weekend based on your channel and Mandy in the making as well. I appreciate your hard work that goes into your channel.

Mel I love you friend! Your videos are always just so comforting. Yay for you and your merch! I know your face us gonna be in Walmarts one day🤗

I can’t tell you a name of a recipe but I can tell you what I ask myself in the kitchen. What would Momma Mel do? Congratulations on your channel’s milestone and “Go for a little bit more!”😊

😊 thanks so much, your comment means so much to me Christiana! 👍🏼

Hey Momma Mel. I remember the first video I ever watched was one that had 3 healthy chicken dishes. My favorite was the chicken with onion and little cherry tomatoes. I still make it at least every other week. Thank you for making my life easier! ❤

I leave skin on my potatoes all the time. Never peel anymore ,peels are good for you!

[@cindychurchill1003]

Mel, you are a breath of fresh air! Your humility is unheard of in this me, me, me world we live in today! I have been eating low carb/keto for a year now so I don't use your recipes but ALWAYS look forward to watching your videos every week! I adore your soft spoken, southern drawl that I am so fond of because of my family roots being from TN. Love you and wish you God's blessings today and every day! Congrats on the 100k subs...well deserved!!

[@kathypatterson1598]

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers!! I love the way you present & explain everything & you have so many great recipes. Due to my current medical issues I love that you have many simple, quick & easy recipes so that I can prepare some meals myself.

Congratulations Mel! I only found your channel a few months ago but I believe I’ve watched all of your videos at least twice, maybe more on some of them! I’ve never made anything of yours that my family hasn’t loved. But more than that, I love how real you are! Not everything comes out perfect and you show us the ones that don’t, warts and all. I can relate to that! Thank you for expanding my pantry and freezer, because I’ve bought so many “Mel” ingredients since I’ve seen how you use them. Sorry for the long post, but I want you to know how I look forward to your videos, as I’m sure so many of us do. Loving ya from North Carolina!

[@debbiewoods4232]

Mel, I'm so excited to celebrate your success on KZbin. I have enjoyed every video from the very first one! Congrats to you on your new merch too. It's so cute! 😂 I also wanted to tell you how sweet your friend at Jamin Jams is. One of my jams was left off my order, and she personally delivered it to my house! What special people live in East Tennessee.

Hi Mel, My husband and I are camping in our RV. I planned to make a half recipe of your taco-mac dinner. We invited the gal who is camping next door to eat with us so I threw in a can of corn to stretch the recipe and served it with a side salad. It was a hit! Thank you xoxo

[@maryl9601]

I can’t remember the first dish I have made but they all have been great ❤

[@hoosiermama3001]

Oh gosh, I can't remember the first recipe I made of yours, but I think it was a crockpot meal!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

It's hard to remember them ain't it 🤣 But the crockpot ones are awesome! Thanks so much for being here
