I love how humble you are and your youtube channel this makes life so relaxing watching your channel especially during the holidays thank you again

[@PenniestoDollars]

I’m so glad that you enjoy the channel! I want it to be relaxing for everyone

[@kristiemichalski5152]

My grandma always made ambrosia for holidays. Then my mom always made it. Now I make it without coconut (family preferences)

[@PenniestoDollars]

I also like it without coconut! That is a yummy recipe that I haven't thought about in a long time. Thank you!

[@robertaackerman6931]

I'm doing some early Thanksgiving prep today too! If I don't see you before Thanksgiving- have a wonderful few days with your family!

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you, Roberta. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.

I love sweet potato pie 🤤

[@PenniestoDollars]

It is really good. I can’t really tell the difference between it and pumpkin pie.

[@nancyanne5337]

Love your dresses

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thanks!

[@sheilafreisthler4421]

We made a similar cranberry salad. We added walnuts or pecans to it. And yes we used a grinder! We also used the grinder to make my mom’s homemade spaghetti sauce. Everything was put through the grinder for that!

[@PenniestoDollars]

That is so cool! I also have heard of putting nuts in the cranberry salad and putting marshmallows in there.

[@nancyanne5337]

Wow, cranberry sauce looks great

[@PenniestoDollars]

It is a keeper recipe!

[@nancyanne5337]

[@patbethea111]

I remember my Dad using the crank to ground meat and made sausage 😋

[@PenniestoDollars]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@patbethea111]

Love you're videos 🤗❤

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you!

[@nancyanne5337]

What kind of funny is I do remember those food grinders. I feel like we had one but my mother was not much of a cook so I don't know what we would have had to process through that, LOL

[@PenniestoDollars]

😂

[@sammie44]

I love multi tasking. I mean, is there any other way? lol I grew up with the manual meat grinder make homemade (chouriços) smoked sausages. 😋 Sam 🌷

[@PenniestoDollars]

My grandmother made homemade sausage!

[@sammie44]

@@PenniestoDollars I love smoked Portuguese homemade sausage. Tastes great and we know what the ingredients are.

[@PenniestoDollars]

@sammie44 My grandmother made Czech sausage:)

[@venesahart2347]

I have one. I use it often to Make ham salad.

[@PenniestoDollars]

Love the recipes and your hair! If you use cranberries during the year, stock up now while they're available and on sale and throw them in the freezer.

[@PenniestoDollars]

Yes I LOVE to do that because I LOVE cranberries:)

[@MyLittleRealities]

Your hair looks great! The food looks and sounds delish! Love early meal prep. Thanks for sharing!

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you for listening! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@patbethea111]

You're hair looks great 👍

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thanks!

[@lisahidalgo160]

I don’t know why I never thought about cooking the turkey ahead of time!! I’m going to cook my turkey today along with the usual make ahead items. Thank you so much for the idea and I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving!!

[@PenniestoDollars]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ruthe.langley4013]

I think your hair looks great! You have the same crock pot I have! Love my waterless cookware!

[@PenniestoDollars]

My mother-in-law gave me this and it is my new favorite crockpot!

[@ruthe.langley4013]

@PenniestoDollars I sure understand that, I just love mine!

[@PenniestoDollars]

@ruthe.langley4013 😁😁

[@RP07662]

Hair looks awesome!

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you!

[@mickie4445]

Mom always used the meat grinder in Spanish it’s called a molino to grind the pork meat for tamales. Her molino was small & the part where the meat went in would open up in half to clean it. Once she was threw she washed it carefully completely dried it & wrapped it and placed it in cotton thick sack.

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you for sharing that! Very cool!

[@mickie4445]

@ your cranberry recipe looks heavenly & I am sure the scent smells like Christmas . Wishing you a wonderful time with your family. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽🍂🌾🥧🍂

[@PenniestoDollars]

It does :) Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ireadnewton]

The first thing I noticed in this morning's video is that your hair looks great! I've been cutting my own hair for years. Think of all the money and time you will save over time! As a host, I want to provide comfort in the form of home-cooked meals. As a mom, I do NOT want to spend all my time doing so while my family is here. One reason I am thankful today is because of you, Bonita! Love this video...

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you, Kimberly! I am thankful for your friendship as well❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@michellejennings3232]

We grew up using our grinder for lunch meat, also. We used bologna ( not sliced) and ground it up with a couple of sweet pickles. My family was VERY low income and I thought this was delicious. We also used it for turkey meat leftovers for sandwich filling. Turkey has always been very inexpensive protein....we were very grateful for our sandwiches. Yum!

[@PenniestoDollars]

I have heard of bologna salad, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried it.

[@katheryncompton2159]

You did a great job on the haircut.

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thank you!

[@nancyanne5337]

Your hair looks wonderful

[@PenniestoDollars]

Thanks! I’m not sure that I’m comfortable doing it quite yet, but I’ll get there.

[@nancyanne5337]

You look like you got it professionally cut. And from what it sounds like you're experience at the hair salon you did a better job

[@marym.8234]

I love your videos and I just wanted to add that I made your cranberry sauce recipe in the crockpot it was delicious!! Going forward I will always make it this way. Thank you for such great ideas and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!

[@PenniestoDollars]

@@marym.8234 We loved it, too! It is a great recipe! Thank you, Mary!

[@nancyanne5337]

Your pumpkin dump cake sounds delicious. We do a traditional pumpkin pie which I was able to get at Aldi for $5 and it looks like it's a really good pumpkin pie. The only dessert that we don't make homemade other than the pumpkin pie is a pumpkin roll. There is an Amish market that makes them they are phenomenal and that is a tradition every year that we go there and pick up one of those the day before

[@PenniestoDollars]

Yum I love pumpkin roll with cream cheese!

[@nancyanne5337]

Exactly the kind! Heavenly

[@patbethea111]

I had cooked collard greens last year and frozen them and going to have thanksgiving. I'm making Chitterlings and rice and Mac & cheese. Strawberry Short cake and that's thanksgiving dinner. No turkey 🦃 this year. I didn't want it. I may buy a small ham🤔

[@PenniestoDollars]

It sounds delicious!

[@ellenspn]

7:35 What model slow cooker is that?

[@PenniestoDollars]

My mother-in-law gave it to me and she bought it in a set at the State Fair. It’s my new favorite slow cooker. It’s a Kitchen Craft by West Bend.

[@JontueScent]

Bonita, I noticed your haircut right away. I cut mine the same way at home. I cannot find a beautician to cut my hair correctly.

[@PenniestoDollars]

I understand that! I’m always frustrated when I get it cut. Hoping I can master this!

[@ellenspn]

Did you family ever make persimmon pudding?

[@PenniestoDollars]

My husband’s family did. They lived where they grew wild!

[@patbethea111]

You don't use lemon peal?

[@PenniestoDollars]

I normally do not buy lemons. I just don’t use them enough for anything, so I just keep juice in my fridge.

[@LindaFeldman]

Your hair looks like a professional cut it! Well, I guess you are professional now!

[@PenniestoDollars]

Maybe after more practice 😂

[@ellenspn]

Wish I could eat cranberries. Stupid drug interactions.

[@PenniestoDollars]

Awww that’s too bad :(
