I was raking leaves on this gorgeous Fall afternoon and began to think about you with your sweet voice, love for Jesus and fabulous cooking! I made a beeline for your channel and watched you make these " healthy" dishes for friendsgiving. Can't wait to make for our regular meals. How lucky for your daughter to have a boyfriend that can cook. Now if she can teach him to wash dishes and clothes, she'll be set! By the way, I'm back in my hometown of Birmingham, Ala. after 34 yrs. in hubby's hometown of Toronto, Ontario (our son married a Canadian, too, but what can I say...I miss him and my grandchildren terribly). Love your pretty hair color and cut.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

This is such a sweet comment, you made me smile today - thank you friend. Be sure and let me know if you try them and what you and your family think. And yes, she is a lucky young lady, he takes a lot of pains to make his food fresh and delicious. And he is pretty good to clean up too LOL Thanks so much for watching and I will see you again tonight at 8pm

I have been married almost 40 yrs, and on our first Thanksgiving, I wanted to make us a nice dinner. My mom always made corn bread dressing from scratch, and that's all I knew how to do! Hubby doesn't like corn bread and he went on and on about his mom's dressing, so I called her and asked for the recipe. She said, go to the store, and buy....stove top. Lol I still make homemade cornbread dressing, but we always have stove top as well.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

The lightly salted chips “because I’m all about health food” made me laugh out loud (and I’m currently at work watching during my lunch break with other people around, so I got some strange looks).

Krista, she was such a nurturing woman, and she had a million great recipes. I think this was just something she made up, probably to get her kids to eat some veggies 🤣 And this sweet potato dish is just wonderful. My mom even likes to eat it with her morning coffee. It's savory and sweet 😋 Thanks so much for watching and have a blessed week friend 💖

37 years ago, the day after I got married, my husband informed me he wasn't eating veggies any more, he didn't have to, cuz we were married... I grew up on farm and was used to 3-4 veggies at a meal... I tricked him, with advice from my grandma, by covering his veggies with cheese... Which he'd eat on and with everything... He now will eat most veggies without cheese, or any type of sauce, but this recipe is how I got him to eat asparagus!

I always say, that we don't all like the same things and that is ok. I substitute cottage cheese for ricotta all the time so I bet you could go the other way as well. Let me know how it works out. Thanks so much for watching and I will see you tonight at 8pm Annette. Have a blessed day

Instead of canned asparagus, could you use fresh instead?

That broccoli corn bread looked easy and delicious, I'm gonna make that this week, thanks for the recipe. 😊

This was soo good, the cottage cheese was delicious in it. I love broccoli so that was a plus as well. This recipe is a keeper. 😊 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting me know 😊 my daughter's boyfriend was here this weekend and I was just telling him how so many people were going to try his recipe. 😊

Oh wow that broccoli cornbread looks amazing! I’m definitely going to try that! I used to cater and one pastor always told me you can serve hot dogs, as long as you make your sweet potato soufflé. LOL

Amen to that Beth! 🤣🥰 Let me know if you try the broccoli cornbread and what you think about it. Thank you for watching and have a great day🥰
