Question and Answer TIme!

I've had a ton of questions in the comments and on Instagram so I compiled a bunch of them into this video! My mom was visiting the grandkids and I wrangled her into helping me. She says she needs hair and makeup next time she's on 😂

[@SilenceScream12]

As a die hard mexican fan of yours, it kinda warmed my heart to know your mom is mexican too. ¡Viva México! 💜

[@saskiahagendoorn9996]

agreed he has 2 mil subs now which he definitely deserves l make his recipes all the time (made the chocolate chip cookies today they were amazing!) he makes genuine content that people can actually follow not click-bate recipes like so yummy and 5 minute crafts! p.s l am not trying to hate on those other channels l just find it wrong that they are scamming people!

[@suzisaintjames]

My favorite trick for when someone pops in for coffee is to say: Oh, you're just in time. I was about to make scones and coffee! The scones are in the oven before the coffee is ready, so before you know it 15 minutes for baking and oh, so yummy! Keep dried fruit on hand and you are all set. (my favorite is dried cherries.) it doesn't matter if you can't bake or if your recipe isn't the best, it always tastes good, fresh made! ❤🌅🌵

[@russellflagg9482]

I love your relationship with your mom. It is great. You can tell she is your inspiration. And I wish a lot more people would look to their parents for that.

[@laura__9351]

She seems like a fun genuine lady lol thanks for sharing her with us!🍓

[@teddiematteson]

Compliments to both of you for fabulous smiles, and your love for each other shines through your admirers’ screens! John, some day I will have to share with you what my 7th-grade math teacher told me in 1967. I was a math whiz & he saw something in me that compelled him to urge me to pursue running for the local beauty pageant. I have a lump in my throat & tears streaming down my cheeks as I type & think about how important his advise was in my life. Because your genuine personality shines through all of your videos, I have a feeling you had a similar impact on many of your former students. Now, your current career has an even bigger, positive effect on us, your fans and followers. A hearty handclap to you! (And a gentle nudge to your husband to peek in on the teeniest of occasions, because we fans will definitely welcome and love him, too. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ )

My quick desert is that I keep a pound cake in the freezer. When a guest pops in I slice it frozen, top with frozen berries and sweetened whipped cream. By the time coffee is ready, the cake is totally defrosted. If the cake looks a little dry, I make a simple syrup, add lemon juice (or your favorite liquor) after I take it off the heat and brush or drizzle the syrup over the cake to moisten then add the berry whip cream mixture. Yummy! Oh, you can always drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for the extra ordinary touch! ❤🌅🌵

[@lindadillon4482]

HINT!!! You mentioned in one of your Q&A videos how vanilla extract effects colors in icings. You may have heard of them but if not, I'll share this with you. The Watkins Store, or Watkins 1868 Gourmet Seasonings, Gourmet Spices - is online. My Mom (who is now passed) and myself have never bought extracts or spices, etc. from a grocery store. I've been using Watkins since I was married in 1966. Mom never bought any items which Watkins sold, from a grocery store. They just do not compare to Watkins Products. My HINT to you is Watkins sells CLEAR pure vanilla extract, as well as most any pure extracts you want and they are fabulous for baking. Anytime I make white cakes, or anything I don't want colored I always keep their clear vanilla extract on hand. Thought this might help you! Love is sent your way - - I love you and your channel. Linda from Texas.

Lol @ you telling your mother a loaf cake was good, "like crack." So random, but I actually laughed aloud.

[@lindadillon4482]

I so, enjoyed this video with you and your Mom. One thing I wanted to mention regarding using boxed cake mixes, as your Mom said, I always use sour cream and the other item I use, is jello instant pudding (they come in a big variety to choose from). I even add the pudding when the box says "pudding in the cake". I think they taste like scratch cakes. Have a great day. Your Mom is soooooo pretty and cute.

My favorite pie is pecan. I put enough nuts so it goes all the way to the bottom (no thin floating layer on top). Then I pile on chocolate mocha mousse (high like meringue on lemon meringue pie). Don't forget to decorate with chocolate curls. I also use a 8" deep pie pan so that there's a thicker filling per slice. It's a holiday, so be generous! So yummy! Make two as everyone takes a slice! ❤🌅🌵

I love your mother! Now I know where you get your good nature and enthusiasm. So funny you mentioned Arethusa Farms. I grew up in Litchfield and they use to deliver milk to our house and put in the in milk box on the porch. The milk was in bottles and in the winter, the milk would freeze some an push the paper lid up with the frozen milk. Also, this will tell you how times have changed and I guess how old I am (53 if you must know) but we would drive down to the farm and you went into this little room and they had reach in freezers with quarts of ice cream in them. They had Vanilla, Chocolate and Coffee flavors. You would take your ice cream, add up the total and they had a little cash box on a shelf and you would put your money in it and take whatever change you were due. There wasn't a soul in site. My how times have changed.
