This reminds me so much of your older videos when you would vlog, prep, & cook. So fun to see the whole process plus the personal parts and stories thrown in!! Really enjoyed this video!! 😊❤

[@emilylightsey6374]

Now instead of "Minivan Moments" we'll have to have "Palisade Ponderings"! Happy birthday to Derik. Also have to add that I have been a subscriber for years, but have recently been re-watching a ton of your videos as I am dealing with anxiety. I find your videos calming, fun, motivating, and reassuring. I've had you playing on my phone every evening as I'm cooking or cleaning up my kitchen. Feels like I'm in the kitchen with a good friend. Thank you so much for making your videos!!! ♥

[@shesinherapron]

That’s cool!

[@stephanieschindler2903]

I’m dealing with anxiety and it is recently worse. That is an awesome idea I usually am in quite while everyone does there thing. That’s what I need. Ty

[@daisygirrl1234]

I admire you for taking us along ! It’s stressful to prep for any size gathering alone let alone filming everything you’re the best, kimmy 💗

[@raidenkillian7169]

[@caroltochterman0000]

I'm from the East Coast and from an Italian family, my mother always did her potatoes with skins on and removed them afterwards. 1/2 tsp baking soda to water makes egg peeling easier. It sure does pay off to have a podcast on KZbin, lots of money to be made according to how many followers you have. Happy for you, enjoy your new home and car! ❤️

[@annabanabanana]

Summertime cookouts are just the best. Everything looks delicious. Hope you do another this year.

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

Love the broccoli 🥦 salad too. My grandma In Illinois has been making that salad since the 60s. Always a hit!

[@mintbutterfly10]

You laughed when you dropped the mayo and then just kept going without complaining and it made my day!

[@Linda-mv8oz]

I loved this video. It is so much fun and informative to see you prepare for a party. You really make it feel like you are talking to a friend. I can’t imagine how much work it was to cook and then film. Thank you!

[@shesinherapron]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@waytoson]

I love how Deric helps you. My 1st grandbaby was born when I was 43, the 2nd I was 45, the 3rd I was 47.. Best days EVER!!!!

[@scoutthespaniel978]

I was almost 4O before I had my own children. Can’t imagine being a grandma.

[@angeloverturff3826]

Stovetop eggs: Put eggs in pot, cover with cold water. Sprinkle some salt in set on stove and bring to boil. Once they start boiling, turn off the heat and put a cover on the pot. Let them stay on the burner while the burner cools. After 12 minutes they will be ready to peel. I usually leave my eggs on the stove in the hot water until the water is cool.

[@seabass620]

I really like the idea of writing down the items you need and how you are serving each food and snack item. It really makes things more organized. Thank you.👍🏻

[@julietchristensen3957]

LOL I love it when July 4th ends up being like summer thanksgiving.😍 Every possible food.

[@ColleenH38]

Wonderful menu for Deric's birthday and 4th of July. Deric is a sweetheart and I can see him being the best grandpa!

[@anynameyouchoose]

Hi Kimmie, I enjoyed every minute of this 4th of July Video and Deric's Birthday, The food looks sooo good, Makes me want Potato Salad, deviled eggs and BBQ, I never get tired of those foods. I Love all your videos I first found your channel when you were making pancakes for the freezer. Love and Blessings to You and all your family

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@imeldaelder-otterbech7473]

Wwooowwww!! That is such an awesome spread for a combined birthday & 4th of july!! Happy birthday Derrick!!

[@LifeWithMrsB]

All the food looked delicious!! Love how excited Deric was about the prospect of grand babies one day :)

[@taylormenke4825]

So fun to watch you make all of your things for the 4th! I grew up eating cold broccoli salad! Our recipe is a little different. We have broccoli, red onion, bacon, and cheddar cheese!

[@nebraskanwife6344]

Love it! I like how you organize your get together and keep it simple but awesome! Keep it up. I love using an apron too!

[@melissacannon4035]

Just love watching you two. I think it's Awesome Mr. Toodles wants to be a Grandpa!! I hope you had a good 4th

[@margaritam234]

Great job with the food! Looked so delicious! And awesome job with fireworks! What a great 4th! Happy Birthday!

[@caroljay593]

Loved all your food you made made for picnic. The fireworks were super. Happy 4th of July!

[@eydiegarcelon8889]

Happy, Happy Birthday to your hubby Deric! Looks like you had a fabulous day together with family... what it's all about!

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Kim. Happy Belated Birthday, Deric (sp)! This was a wonderful video. That was a lot of chicken on that grill. Kudos to whoever was manning the grill and didn't burn all that chicken. Gosh, all the food looked so delicious! And the fireworks display was amazing! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your family 4th of July celebration with us. Stay well.

[@elchewtoy]

Just awesome! Thank you for sharing. Fireworks were so nice to see. The tip for letting the potatoes cool and sit for 24 hrs, mind blowing. So simple and makes total sense.🤯🤯🙄😶simple!

[@ashwinivenkatesh1990]

Happy birthday Derek 🎉🎂🎂🎉 Recently saw ur video just coz it popped up in recommendation. But now I don't regret clicking that. Wow such positive energy and honesty makes u feel like my family.

[@Cathijudd21]

looks like a fun family day!!! I really love a creamy potato salad too. I keep the potatoes, eggs, etc. separate from the sauce until just before serving. I also prefer to bake my potatoes to get more flavor out of them.

[@emmagarcia7295]

thank you for the recipes! Now I know what I’m going to cook this 4th of July

[@yangiemouie]

Love, Love, LOVED this video. Thanks for prepping some of the recipes on the video!!

[@KokoS02]

That summer salad sounds so yummy making it today for my kiddos........to have during of family worship ☺️ thanks for sharing 💕

[@jessprince4595]

Your mother-in-laws house is gorgeous I love the kitchen. Huge though I don't envy the amount of time it would take to keep up with the cleaning.

[@chrishingson3064]

You never cease to amaze me looks like such a good time I'm loving your hubby's birthday cake and OMG girl almost a hundred deviled eggs😊

[@callahangralton4208]

Kimmy I just love watching your videos, especially now when I am feeling so isolated! All the food looks amazing and I hope I will be as good of a homemaker, wife, and mother as you are! ❤️

[@crystalreed9485]

I saw this on Collard Valley Cooks, bring your water to a boil first, add eggs and cook around 12-15 minutes. More eggs will probably need more minutes. They peel perfectly every time. After spending an hour on Thanksgiving morning trying to peel 12 eggs the way I used to cook them I found this way. It is a MUST try!!!

[@thecleaningbeee2662]

250,000 subscribers 🙌🏻🙌🏻well done!! Great video!!

[@shesinherapron]

Yay! Thank you!

[@poshwithlani]

OMG your husband wanting to be a grandpa! So cute!! Usually it’s the other way around (at least in my case with our parents lol)

[@hopehogue2481]

Kimmy... I will be 44 on the 14th and I have 4 grandsons! I’m with Derek on this one I love being a grandma and my husband is 51 being young grandparents is the best! Love you vids! Happy birthday Derek!!🎂🎉

[@carolstanton3156]

You will LOVE being a grandma and grandpa!! Best job ever...lol.

[@margaretmuenchau5450]

I just learned this and it works like a charm. I cook my eggs on the stove and put just about a teaspoon of lemon juice in the water. Then put in a cold bath and they peel like a champ!

[@Sandra-pm3it]

And if I leave the eggs in cold water too long they wont peel well so I put them back in warm water to heat them back up a bit.

[@lisagrace4446]

I've been watching you forever now and still love all of your videos. I make so many of my recipe's JUST like you and learned from my mom and Nanny but they are both from Tennessee. YUM.

[@morrisontracy]

Happy Birthday Deric! The fireworks display was amazing.

[@georgettescolaro785]

Hey kimmie I made the broccoli salad tonight and it’s simply Devine. I never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing

[@melindaridinger3008]

Happy Birthday Derrick!!! Kimmy you did an amazing job on all the food. The fireworks were awesome. I always love watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@eurondajefferson5890]

Everything looked delicious! Kudos to you for filming and celebrating at the same time! Happy Birthday to your husband.

[@heatherwoods296]

Looks dellllllllish! Yum I love your shoes! They look so cute plus comf! Your in laws home is so nice! I'm excited for y'all to move in :) your future is looking bright. Happy 4th from Canada!

[@typicalracoon998]

In my family we believe that the way of cracking it is what make it easy to peal. First the pointy end, then the flat one, then gently knocking all around on the side. Works 98% of time!

[@vivianawood9983]

OMGSH!!!! I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD BOIL EGGS IN THE INSTAPOT!!!!! LOL I have had mine for 2 years now, but recently started using it and really don't even know how. 🤣 I just came across your channel yesterday. Love it. And love that your husband already wants to be a grandpa. So sweet.

[@FrugalOverFifty]

Thanks for sharing the fireworks display. I didn’t get to see any this year. Much appreciated. 💥

[@mikesgracie5068]

This video was so much fun!! Loved every second of it!! That cake that your daughter picked out looked amazing!! Happy birthday (late) to your hubby!!!

[@HappyWifeHappyLife_WifeLife3]

Everything looks yummy!!!!! Happy Birthday Derek!!!!!!

[@TonyRed549]

The trick to boiling eggs is to add White Vinegar. I learned that while being a Line Cook. That list of food looks so good!

[@elaineharrison8623]

Hi Kimmie I really enjoyed this video ! My Dads birthday is also 4th of July. He is no longer with us but he would always say that "he came into this world with a BANG!! " 😊😂

[@susieszaneydesigns8578]

For my broccoli salad I don't do the cranberries but put in green apples and shredded carrots and shredded cheese. I do a vinegar, miracle whip, and ranch dressing. No sugar but I do add a little season salt.

[@lakeyshacoles9513]

A tip for boiling eggs on stovetop is add vinegar to your water and let get to a rolling boiling for about 7-9 minites take off stove drain and run cold water or ice bath over eggs peel as you normally do.

[@Te5555555555555]

You are just amazing! I love your channel so much! I add the same things as you for the potato salad. The only differences are that I use spicy brown mustard (and a lot of it) and I season the potato/veggie mixture with salt, pepper and garlic powder before I add the creamy mixture. It's kind of like seasoning the pasta water - got to add flavor at every step. 🙂 Thank you for your great content and inspiration!

[@kimdanielson]

I also think this is my favorite video out of the recent ones. The food...NUM! You do party food like no other and it's so nice when Deric hops in and helps. He's going to be an awesome grandpa! The fireworks display was beautiful; so professional. What a great day for Deric's birthday!

[@jvetter9263]

Wow! You did a lot! I really like how you always credit your mother in law. You must have a very good relationship. Loved the fireworks!

[@LollipopBoxClub]

One of my fave videos of your's. Happy belated birthday to Deric. Thanks for sharing xx

[@moniquemc4553]

Oh man this is awesome! We are still in quarantine. No fireworks no friends. Thank you so much for sharing 💖

[@angkenny9289]

I'm 43 and have a granddaughter she just turned one on July 4th best thing ever happened 💟.

[@chophappy]

You're summer BBQ will be great with that food! Great video!

[@morecoffeeplz9992]

Ok.. I just found you a few weeks ago! Mind blown on cooking the potato’s and eggs. Also, I’m totally making that sugar free broccoli salad. Yummy

[@mamofoneteen5178]

Amazing feast! Thank goodness for Costco lidded bowls! I love them! Your parents in law have a beautiful home. 👍👏🏻🤗

[@Mom-pu8vt]

Happy Birthday and A Blessed 4 th July for everyone - sorry I am late but just saw this today ( busy mom & grandmom here). I am sure surrounding neighbours appreciated the fireworks too- nice display there!

[@DM-te6ci]

That was just great to watch, a lot of food prep for you, your so organized. You look so lovely with your hair up like that too. Happy Birthday Derek, Cheers Diana NZ 🍰🍓🍨

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you so much!

[@melindajoy111]

Your Fourth of July vlogs are always my favorite.

[@lore7546]

When boiling eggs, I always adds dash of white vinegar to the boiling water makes the shell come off better.

[@royalty2k14]

Salt in the water then submerge them in ice cold water also works

[@DivinevirgoFeminine]

@@royalty2k14 I do this to, learner it a bit ago from KZbin. I love how we can all connect and learn from one another all around the world I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 and I wish we had some of the stores they do.

[@amywallis7404]

Hope you guys had an amazing 4th🇺🇸 and deric had an awesome birthday! 🎁🎂 Love your videos. ♥️

[@donna8212]

Good morning Kimmy! You did a FANTASTIC job on everything!!!!!! It all looked delicious 👍🏻😁. Happy birthday again to Deric, and best of luck with your new car 🚗. Loved your mother-in-law’s tiered tray ☺️. Given the fact that I’ve never been to the west coast, it sounds funny to hear you can just drive over to Wyoming 😁. Hope you are having a nice day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shesinherapron]

Thank you so much 🤗 I hope you had a fantastic 4th.

[@SISSYKAY]

Everything looked delish, and the fireworks were beautiful. Great Video!

Great video Kimmy! You are such an inspiration! Sending love from Australia 💚💛

[@erinmarie3535]

After all the cooking and prep work, I just want to say that my feet hurt on your behalf 😂 It’s a lot of work preparing for a big BBQ!

[@waytoson]

How do you not have a million subs??? Love your channel... Have loved it for years now... TFS

[@doriannegreene4936]

Great video' kimmy and 40min's long?! Heck yes! I hope your hubby had a great birthday! My grandmother taught me a trick for hard boil eggs...put as many eggs that will fit in the pot, then cover with water. Once it is boiling add 1tsp of baking soda and just a tiny drop if white vinegar. Stir and boil for another 30secs..then cover pot with a lid ( I just use a large plate to cover) let sit off heat for 5min. Then place eggs in cold water..wait till cool (5min or so) then start peeling shell off. The shells just fall off so easy!! ❤

[@sherriclark3041]

I use sweet relish, Miracle Whip and finely chopped sweet onion because that’s the way my mom and grandparents made. I realize many don’t like anything but mayonnaise but we tend to make what we loved during childhood.

[@annmariemitchell2532]

1. I put my eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to the boil, turn it off and leave for 5 mins. I peel the same as you and they peel great. 2. I was 43 when my oldest grandson was born, I’m 57 this august and now have 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. 3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOODLES I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY. The food all looks fantastic I wish I was joining you all. Stay safe and god bless you all xxx

I love your mother in laws house! All the food looked great, looked like a good time!

Everything you cooked and baked looked delicious.. So much fun and delicious options... Yum! Really enjoyed this vlog

[@jenniferbarnes1053]

Wow everything looks amazing. So organized. The way I cook my eggs on stove top for deviled eggs. 12 eggs , cover eggs with cold water add one teaspoon salt when they come to a boil on medium heat, cook 10 minutes turn heat off. Let them sit for 10 more minutes. Remove to ice bath. When cool roll eggs on counter top for easy peeling. Love to watch your videos 🌞🌴😎🎉🎉

[@ashleyreed3865]

This felt more like your old videos. I know you didn't show any faces but it felt more like the family vids again! Makes me want to go back and watch some of your old ones.

Happy Birthday Deric. My granddaughter turned 3 and was born on 4th of July as well. So exciting!

[@cheri3434]

Thanks for sharing. I think potatoes cooked in their jackets (peels) always taste so much better for potato salad. I peel/scrape them under running water- usually works great and I don’t have to worry about them being hot.

[@markjennette8776]

Love all your recipes and joie de vivre. I put eggs in steamer starting with cold water, bring to boil, turn down heat to simmer, and cook for exactly 13 minutes. Then put in iced water, changing with more cold water once or twice. Crack eggs on counter and roll a bit. Remove shell and rinse the egg in the bowl of cool water

[@susans1847]

I steam my eggs also. I put a metal steamer in my pot, couple inches of water, eggs and lid. Once it comes to a boil, lower to med, 11 minutes covered and they are done. This was from Cooks Illustrated from years ago, I make all my eggs this way, the shell comes right off. Its the steaming that makes the shell come off easy.

[@stephanieschindler2903]

Thank you. I’m going to try that

[@mintbutterfly10]

😮👏👏👏 can't wait to try it.

[@ardiemiller191]

I was a grandma for the first time at 40 and it's been great!! You and Derrick re going to have so much fun with a grand baby!!

[@sandyborbon8231]

Hi, what a great looking spread of food. Love the fireworks. Where in Wyoming did you get them and how were they not illegal? They were amazing. I've only seen those kind of fireworks at a fireworks display. Loved them to music. Great Job. We have something in common as well. My Mom's birthday is the 4th. She always says that everyone celebrates her birthday...lol Great job Sandy Borbon

[@LotusAngel83]

Growing up my mom would make fruit salad with cottage cheese, whipped topping, strawberry jello, with bananas, strawberries, and pineapple. I had never seen anyone make that type of salad until watching this channel.

[@LoveMerciful]

Love your long videos! That was so much fun! Happy birthday blessing to your honey! 🎈🎂 🎆

[@angelaoren1344]

Happy birthday and loved the fireworks 💥

[@AW-gh3yv]

i couldnt believe it when you added pickle juice to your potato salad. I do that also and everyone thinks i am weird for that, but i think it adds flavor. So good.

[@annanderson2047]

I'm sure 100 people have already told you this, but, peal and cut the potatoes before you boil them. You don't burn your fingers and they cook much faster. Then while they are still warm you can sprinkle them with Italian dressing and put them in the frig to cool. This makes them a bit tastier, in my opinion.

[@dmdohse55]

sometimes my mom and i did potatoes in the microwave no vent in the kichen it was either too cold in or too hot tn the kitchen thats what we had to live with
