Quarantine Cooking - Ambrosia Salad

[@tinabarton9612]

I'm a high school culinary arts teachers. I had bought that book for my classroom and one of my students kept borrowing that book and finally I just gave it to her. She loved it so. :)

[@codybowen5656]

I got that same cookbook from my grandma when I was 8 and now I am 20. That book has been with me all my life.

[@jennyholley3500]

My son loves you. He got this cookbook when he was 6 or 7. He watched you all the time on TV. He is now graduating high school and still loves you.

[@cynthiacummings0917]

You're bringing back memories of afternoon church services. The smell of fried chicken wafted through the air. Those ladies also served refreshments like your lime sherbet punch, finger sandwiches and this ambrosia salad. I couldn't wait til church was over! 😂

Cynthia Cummings being able to smell the food while the service was going on was the worst!!!

A must have for my seven year old granddaughter. She can make this for her Grampy for Father's day. He will LOVE it.

[@lovemebrittany5289]

I love that Paula puts these videos on early in the morning because I work third shift and it’s around this time at 6am when I start to feel real sleepy. 2 more hours to go and I’m off and I get to watch Paula ☺️

[@jellydonutsrule]

Ambrosia salad is one of my favorites. I have a wonderful recipe that's been handed down from my Grandma to my Mom and then to me. Not only is it absolutely delicious, it's filled with all those wonderful memories of the 2 most important people to have been in my life. Thanks for posting Miss Paula!

[@emilyb5106]

Those are the best recipes to have 💜 would you mind sharing this recipe?

[@linnhuman]

I grew up watching you on tv, so I am just so happy to still be able to watch you cook 🙂 very comforting

[@birdie7776]

It's good with vanilla Greek yogurt too.instead of sour cream.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

I wonder how it would be with freshly whipped cream? Mmm..

[@emilyb5106]

Spartan 69 YUMMMM, using Cool Whip sounds goooood 😋 But 🤔, since Cool Whip is dense and ‘airy’ it won’t be as thick or have the creamy texture like sour cream. If I used Cool Whip I would blend in - using a hand mixture - *_1/2 block of Softened Cream Cheese_* and *_White Sugar_** or **_Sugar Substitute_** (to taste & your liking)* with the Cool Whip to give it a thick and creamy consistency.

[@birdie7776]

@@emilyb5106 and with whip cream it might be too sweet

[@emilyb5106]

Birdie 777 that’s what I was thinking

[@jacksonvanmatre]

Thank you so much for this suggestion! I don't love sour cream, but Ambrosia brings back so many happy memories from my childhood at my grandmother's, so I'm looking forward to trying this with greek yogurt instead!

[@teresadoyle1396]

Our grandsons are 6 & 8 and they always loved to cook since they were big enough to stand on a chair and help. One Christmas their Dad built them a little kitchen complete with a faux stove w/ clock, a little stainless sink and hand carved wooden utensils. Our daughter made them a cookbook with hand drawn fruit, veg, ingredients etc. and their fave recipes, then she laminated the pages and put it together in book form. To this day they will pretend their cooking or bring their cookbook to the kitchen and ask their Mom if they can make something from it! A great life skill (like good manners) for all children to learn when they are young. I am going to send them this recipe, they’ll love it! Stay well Paula.

[@elana81RDH]

Thank you Paula, Theresa and Eddie for these videos! I'm a dental hygienist and mom of 4, laid off due to the virus. Each morning I get up early and have a cup of coffee and start my day with a devotion and one of your videos. A little "me" time before the chaos and homeschooling begins!

[@alisonwatson9451]

I have 4 little ones too, and have been saving the videos for a treat at the end of a long day! Blessings to you! And may God bless you and show you and multiply his abundant provision toward you while you are laid off at this time.

[@ckrtom2]

Always nice to see Paula in her beautiful kitchen. I make a healthy ambrosia salad: I use mayonnaise to taste (you don't need much), a little Stevia or Agave to sweeten, fresh cut pineapple, oranges, apples for crunch, unsweetened shredded coconut to taste, and bananas. I cut the bananas in miniature marshmallow size (cut banana in quarters lengthwise, then cut crosswise). The soft squishiness of the bananas is actually a good substitute for the marshmallows.

[@lueber62]

I make it with fruit cocktail and all the ingredients you used except coconut.

[@ritabrunetti381]

What's great about your videos is that everyone gets excited listening to you and later making the recipe. The tone of your voice and the happiness in it just wakes us and inspires us to join you. Thanks for another quick and easy recipe. A few days ago I received your Southern Cooking cook book. Looking forward to enjoying the recipes. Have a great day and stay well.

[@mikeyd946]

Yum!!! My auntie used to make Ambrosia salad every time we went to visit the farm. Childhood memories for sure!!

[@karlathompson3139]

I grew up with this salad . We called it 5 name salad and it was always on the menu every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I still make and it is still a family favorite

[@DanaLynne]

This takes me back to when I was a wee lassie! We would also mix in an equal amount of whipped topping (to the sour cream)! So tasty!

Ambrosia fruit salad was always on the table of every holiday when I was growing up. It was almost the exact same as yours and brings back special memories of long ago. I think I’ll bring this back to our Thanksgiving table , it can’t go wrong. Thanks for the reminder, Paula. ⚡️💖⚡️

haha I am 63 years old and that is one of the first salads I learned to make when I was a child and one that I still love to have on occasion. This is the first time I have seen it made the way I make it, with sour cream. Everyone else I know makes it with whipped topping. It tastes better with sour cream.

Good morning, I am really enjoying watching in the mornings while having my coffee. Thank you for doing these videos. Please tell me.... why are my biscuits so dense? Even when I don’t handle them a lot they seem to be so so dense.

[@TruthSeekerNC]

I have never had much luck with biscuits. I never could get them to taste as good as my grandma's!

[@Glitter_Bear]

If your store carries it look for Pioneer biscuit mix. Follow the recipe on the back. Can’t go wrong. So yummy!

[@LadyRustedKnight]

2 things that you can do to fix. All bagged flour settles and compacts during shipping: do not sift but fluff flour with a fork before measuring. 2nd: MUST use ICE COLD water which causes the small english pea size bits of butter/shortening to harden & disperse in the flour and that makes them rise rather than become dense. Pie crust also, same thing. Easy fix 👍. Most baking problems are just simple rules that our grammas taught us and why. **using too much flour when rolling out can make them tough, I use a tall cup instead of rolling pin (I am too heavy handed with a rolling pen). Make sure that oven is hot hot hot as the first minutes of baking are the most important for rising! Clabber Girl Baking powder, I do not care for the other brands & I add a jot more😉 than called for.

honestly instead of sour cream i bet the kids would like it with homemade whipped cream!! im telling you its soooo much better ! and than u wanna put all those fruits she used but make sure to add some orange or red or even green jello depending on which kind of ambrosia salad yur makin , sometimes you wanna use green jello for pistachio ambrosia salad ! and the reason i don’t like sour cream in mine is because it just doesn’t give me the sweet desert factor im lookin for you know ?

I grew up on a similar ambrosia, Paula. A favorite! My mother would add banana and maraschino cherries. Sometimes a combination of sour cream and cool whip was used. Always a tasty, easy salad!

[@bonniebrown6960]

That's a great idea !! My little grandkids love to help in the kitchen . My husband and I raised our kids to sit at the table and we always said Grace before we ate . If they didn't like something we fixed , we gave them just a little spoonful and told them to at least try it . So our kids were good eaters . There was very few things they wouldn't eat . Miss Paula , when our daughter was just 2 years old she would sit in her daddy's lap and eat deer steaks with ketchup and 57 steak sauce . Our daughter would tell my husband, " daddy we need some more of that 55...7 sauce " . HAHAHA...!! 😂 We just die laughing and to this day ....we still call it 55...7 sauce, instead of 57 steak sauce . 😉😂 Thank you Miss Paula and Teresa for sharing another great video with us !! 😘❤❤

I live out in the sticks. No neighbors. No noises. I keep a radio on for my pig who is calmed by the music. When Teresa or whoever was talking about bananas and cherries added to the ambrosia it sounded like there were people outside my house talking! 🤣 I was so scared for a minute before I realized it was on the video! 😂

[@mygirldarby]

You should get your pig a friend if you can (I hope youre not going to eat your pig, but if you are disregard). Pigs are extremely social animals and need to have other pigs around to feel safe and happy. Its nice that you leave the radio on for the pig, but it would really help calm your pig with another pig friend.

Teaching younguns table manners is something some folks neglect to do, though some don't teach any manners at all. Younguns do get great satisfaction out of making something to serve to their family on the supper table, but they get great satisfaction out of growing things to go on the supper table too.
