[@candrakane4642]

Happy Father's Day Dad!!❤️👍

[@maverickeugene3621]

As a man I applaud Dad for being so accommodating to Mom while grilling. He clearly loves her. The grill flame is normally a sacred male no questions space. This guys awesome,as is Moms,Sophia and the whole gang.

[@THECOOLEATS]

Aww thank you 😊

[@LJBSullivan]

Not at my house, husband only touches food to eat it.

[@hildahighlander2586]

Sophia is the "😂😂bone collector".😂..cracked me up! 😂This looks so yummy. Love seeing all the delicious foods you guys are always making this summer. Gives me ideas too! PS. How do you make your mustard potatoes? I frequently make smashed potatoes and we really enjoy them. However, your mustard potatoes looked delicious!

[@THECOOLEATS]

​@@hildahighlander2586 hi! I just cut them up, mixed them with olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika. Then roasted them til they were done. So good!

[@hildahighlander2586]

@@THECOOLEATS Thanks so much for sharing! I am definitely going to give those a try! Can't wait to try! Thanks again! 😊

Glad to see Dad in the videos. Lots of fun watching the rib cooking with Sophia.

[@smithface8791]

Beautiful family.

[@paulapridy6804]

She's the only kid i know asking for broccoli with ribs in the way. She cracks me up.

[@kevinsmith5202]

First off, those ribs look AMAZING! Now, about the lady bug thing lol. So, our foster child we had when we showed her a ladybug for the first time, she got so excited that she got on the ground, put her face right up to the ladybug and stsrted waving to it saying “Hi, beegug! Hi, beegug!” Haha. It was THE cutest thing ever! As a tribute to her and that moment, my wife got a small tattoo of a ladybug on her wrist.

[@pattic.2975]

Wow, it seems such a short time ago she wasn't talking! Love watching Sophia grow not only getting bigger but her intelligence growing leaps and bounds! Such a smart cookie! LOVE those natural curls! Thanks for sharing!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@THECOOLEATS]

Thank you…you too!

[@CLee-mo9ze]

Share with us the way to make your mustard potatoes please. I love your videos. It’s fun to watch your precious girl grow up and try new foods. Never imagined I’d sign up to watch a child eat!! But I love it!

[@ednanelson1897]

Sophia knows what she likes and she likes her dad's ribs. I love that you include her in food preparations. It gives her a better appreciation for the foid she's eating. 😊

[@patriot9575]

You each played a part in making this yummy meal! Love how Sophia tries foods so easily, looks like a happy meal for all of you!❤

[@arlenepetitto3464]

She sure knows what she wants and makes sure you know it… She sure😂 has a lot to say also… The singing and dancing and happy face just melts my heart so,,,, I could watch her all day… Her hair is such a beautiful strawberry blonde…… You go happy happy Sophia!! ❤❤❤🤗❤❤❤

She definitely has no trouble communicating what she wants! 😂❤️

[@hattiecolley54]

Sophia just Brightens my Heart, so Lovable. Love her Hair just Curly Curly. Her appetite is so good for her Age. Keep Up the Great Work Mom and Dad!

[@tracygarrett3952]

When you had the slab of ribs and started adding the rub, I was thinking, okay, that's my dinner, what are the rest of you having? It worked out just fine, I guess because they were thick. If I go to a rib place, I am eating a full slab on my own, plus a baked and cole slaw! LOL

[@THECOOLEATS]

Haha love it!!!

[@stimpyfranklin8052]

Once again, I loved watching you both cook! Ribs, potatoes, and coleslaw looked so delicious. Sophia is so good at trying different foods to eat. I wish I could remember when she definitely let you and Andrew know that she did not want to try tasting something. Do you remember what it was? Think it was a video from last year. If not, I'll find the video. She was so cute when she expressed herself like she had made up her mind she wasnt going to eat any. She is adorable! You and Andrew have raised her so well. All of the guidance you give her surely does show. When I'm feeling a little quiet and am thinking, to bring myself back to a better place, I still watch (and have watched many times) the compilation you made of Sophia laughing at different times. It is absolutely a happy and precious time in Sophia's life. Thanks, Bridget and Andrew. Please send my wishes for a great Father's Day to Andrew, Papou, and grandpa. Enjoy your weekend, family ❤.

[@THECOOLEATS]

Aww thank you so much! I can’t remember what it was…maybe the ice cream cake from her sister’s birthday? So happy you enjoy the laughing video - that one is my fave to make me smile too!

[@orlandolugo5361]

Awwww ❤❤❤the sudden excitement Sophia displays is soooooo adorable 😊

[@lesleyharris5437]

Loved the video. But here is an interesting fact about the Yukon Gold potatoes…they were developed at the University of Guelph and I live in Guelph.

[@THECOOLEATS]

So cool!

[@sarahdore7884]

[@lorettastephens7945]

It’s so cool to see your husband in the videos! The ribs looked delicious!

[@karenswartz8280]

When using a dry rub on ribs, or any meat, if you rub it down with mustard first ( any kind will do), then apply your dry rub and rub them both together. The mustard helps the dry rub stick! Just a bbq hack to share! They look delicious!

[@THECOOLEATS]

Yes!!! That’s a good tip! We did that with our pulled pork last time and it was good!

[@jackiem.3941]

Sophia definitely knows what she wants! Good thing you bought 2 bags of potatoes, Mama! It doesn't matter what color they are as Miss Sophia likes her "taters"!!!😆😆

Sophia does such a great job, so helpful and kind. Love the silliness with the colored potatoes and corn. It's like you were having Easter eggs :-) ( actually she did provide an impromptu one for old school Sesame Street fans when she started doing the mahna mahna song). She has so much joy and excitement and really lend something special to your videos. The way Willow from the Dart family did her Diner and now does cooking, it could be funny to see those two together someday :-)

I like spareribs way better than baby back ribs. Not only are they cheaper they have more meats. What I like to do is cut off the soft bones part and use it for something else. Then what I have left is St. Louis style ribs. :D Sophia clearly enjoyed that dinner very much!

[@THECOOLEATS]

Ohh yes! I didn’t realize that was St Louis style ribs - thank you! Yes, they definitely have more meat!

What about a spray bottle to apply vinegar/apple cider?

Yes that’s a great idea!

[@almostjane3314]

Love your longer videos! Andrew's ribs looked amazing [along with the rest of the meal]. He's getting to be a BBQ pro. Gotta have coleslaw of course. It goes with ribs like chocolate goes with peanut butter. And mustard potatoes? Yes, please [I don't think I've ever seen a potato recipe I wouldn't try]. Sophia & I are kindred spirits that way - LOL. Do you have a recipe for them or did you just wing it? PS - I bet your pool neighbors were jealous of the BBQ smell coming from your yard. 😋😋😋🍉🍉🍉

[@THECOOLEATS]

Haha yes maybe they were jealous of the rib smell! I don’t have a recipe for those, I just winged it😆 Basically, I used mustard, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and smoked paprika. Then roasted them!

[@almostjane3314]

@@THECOOLEATS Sounds yummy, Bridget. I'm guessing just about any mustard would work. Will definitely try this [always looking for new ways to fix potatoes]. Pairing them with BBQ food was exactly right too. 🥔🥔🥔

Sugar is listed as the first ingredient on that rub you’re using. Honey is listed as the third ingredient.

What is the difference between apple cider and apple juice? (I am a Brit, so to me cider would be fermented, i.e. alcoholic, but I know that isn't the case in the States)

[@THECOOLEATS]

Yes, we have non alcohol cider too. Our juice is clear (filtered) and the cider is darker more cloudy because it has sediment and pulp in it.

[@nyrockchicxx]

@@THECOOLEATS Didn't you use Apple Cider Vinegar? Not just the cider?
