DITL: Needing Very Easy Comfort Food on A Blah Day!

[@shirleymatthews3783]

Leslie, take care of YOU!!! Never feel like you need to apologize or feel bad about having a “blah” day. You have soooo much on your plate…..EVERYDAY and you never seem to slow down!!! You give of yourself unselfishly but remember that Jesus had to steal away and REST!!! We love you and our hearts go out to you as you DO for those sweet grandkids, your children, your church, your family members, and others❤ I don’t comment often but wanted to remind you of God’s love for you!!! And our love for you!!!🥰😍

[@cynthiajordan854]

I agree you said all dear friend!!! Leslie does so much and I appreciate her too! 🌹🌹🥰👩🏻‍🦱

[@bethwillard7795]

Blessings always

[@rinap6283]

Leslie, we’re glad that we are here for you!!❤️

[@cherylagnew5980]

Good evening Leslie and Bryant 👋👋👍🥰👍♥️

[@debbiefield6932]

It’s ok, Leslie. I get like this too ! Thanks for always being real. Love ya!

[@kathyk9519]

That chicken and rice sounds so good. You did well on not making it fattening. I would've added some butter, cream and a little chicken bouillon. Oh my, it would've been fattening. Hope your blahs go totally away. Take some time for yourself and get some rest. That usually helps with the blahs. 🙏

[@candacelayman6043]

Leslie, I had a blah day today. I'm feeling better tonight. Thankful for my faithful God and loving husband❤

[@LillyR539]

I almost made these today but I'm in a scooter chair and always in pain... I didn't get it done. I love the soft ones also. Have a great evening.

[@KimberleySciacca]

I think I would add either Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken soup to the Chicken and Rice

[@priscillabrowning3494]

I am glad to hear you are having the same problem with your clock as I am. I look at it and it can be 3 hours behind, I live in the Eastern Time Zone, so I reset to agree for my area and about 2 days later it has slipped to a 3 hour difference.

[@amyb2646]

Great video, Leslie and Pastor Bryant! Leslie, I’m so sorry you were feeling blue. I hope Judah cheered you up! I think we all get down sometimes, I’m so glad to see you having some delicious comfort food. The cookies looked so good, and so did the chicken and rice! Judah was so cute getting off the school bus. 😊 I hope you get some rest and feel better, Leslie. Rest always helps me. I love you guys, God bless you all 🤗❤️🙏

[@loripretti843]

The only thing that chicken n rice was missing was BUTTER!!! I love chicken n rice!!!! Leslie next time try adding a little chicken broth instead od the salt water ftom the can of chicken!!! It's amazing the flavor it adds!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@nickihinton5062]

I use canned chicken to make chicken and rice also. I add a little chicken bouillon to it. My grand children always request it when they are given a choice.

[@myopinion9259]

my recommendation (for not so flat cookies) is not to overmix your dough.. when that flour mixture is added just mix enough to where you dont see the flour. i tend to hand mix it when i add my flour mix. i also recommend to chill you dough for quite a few hours..overnight is always best!

[@bettyblevins8085]

I use canned chicken to make hot chicken sandwiches. You use 1 can of chicken, 1 can of cream of chicken and 1 cup of crushed potato chips. Mix and pour in 8x8 pan and place in 350 degree over for 30 minutes. Place in a bun or on slice of bread for open faced sandwich.

[@sheilab1772]

I got to tell you Leslie even on a blah day I still enjoy your channel ! lol Love the cookies and some good chicken and rice! I agree got to have lots of pepper on the rice!

[@VeronicaRonniDorval2638]

I could tell at the beginning you were having a bad day and holding back tears. Praying the blahs stay away 🙏

[@evelyngibson7826]

That looked good Leslie, my quick comfort food is grilled cheese and tomato soup. 🍅 😊

[@brendah4773]

27:47 it was good to see you, my Friend ❤️ Sending love, hugs and prayers. Loveland, Colorado ❤

[@Youneedtoknownow]

Saw your face and just knew you weren’t 100%. I had a sad day too for some unknown reason. Feel better!

[@angelanapier4248]

The cookies looked delicious, broccoli would be good in that chicken and rice. You are blessed if you rarely get the blahs, i battle depression and anxiety issues daily.

[@Grace-qr9cf]

Hi Leslie enjoy your video today looking forward to the next one take care

[@diamondpaintingwithsweett]

Everything looked delish ❤ When you feel blah, or meh, just start counting your blessings! Name them one by one.❤❤❤😊

[@renitameares3838]

Shocked that you don’t get Kirkland’s Canned chicken from Costco! 😁 I also have my pantry stocked with my home canned chicken ❤️ as well as my Kirkland’s. Think this will be our dinner tonight with a salad.

[@nancysaul7369]

Cookies look yummy. How do you stay so clean while baking? Somehow flour and batter find their way to my shirt. Life is short, eat cookies.

[@Lynnsmith1510]

Usually when your cookies “flatten out” it means your batter has gotten warm and needs to be put in the refrigerator for a while.

[@Willow555]

Those cookies looked perfect 😊

[@charoo718]

Miss Leslie and PB and Judah. Your cookies look delicious. My favorite cookie. I love chicken and rice. Everyone is entitled to a blah day and so are you. ❤Charlene

[@dorothycranfill3106]

I think you didn’t add enough flour to your cookies and that’s why they spread out. When you measured the flour, the cups were not full.

[@janetmarshall8434]

Hi Leslie. I so look forward to your videos in the evening when I settle down on the couch to relax. You are like a dear friend to me and God bless you and your sweet family always. I live in NC too close to Wake Forest outside of Raleigh. 🥰

[@fendtman55]

I made this the other day, but I made it in the crock pot, I put two chicken breast , chopped in bite size pieces, 11/2 cartons of broth, and a bag of California blend veggies, and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, with 2 cans of water, and one cup of regular rice. let cook 4 hours, It did get thick ,but I kept adding water until I got the the thickness I wanted . It did make a very big pot,. so we ate twice out of it , and the rest i put in the freezer for another day. I got this from Mindy's Mom, she also puts out the best recipes,

[@shirleyjensen417]

I love chicken and rice!! ❤

[@janw7536]

My mom made corn meal soup, it is my comfort food. I still make it when I feel blah, sick, cold or tired. Thanks for sharing your Sam’s Club canned chicken hack with us. And PB thanks for being the world’s happiest taste tester!

[@ecppce1]

We all have those blah days. Seems I can’t get my day in gear until after 12… doesn’t matter how much coffee or monster zero I have or if I’ve slept good, I can’t get going lol I wanted cookies and picked up a package to bake. I cheated lol ❤

[@evelyngibson7826]

It was a Blah day today too in Michigan but the temp was nice! 70's ❤

[@keiomega]

I make these cookies and they always turn out perfect. I think you didn't pack your brown sugar enough, it just seemed like something was missing as it shouldn't have got that thin.

[@brendah4773]

25:37 it looks like and sounds like you gonna bust in tears. Are you sure you ok? ❤

[@cindylaffoon607]

I usually double the recipe to the same amount of chocolate chips they are very good that way. I like them that way.

[@juliedidlinger6638]

Yup! Milk is GREAT…I’m 65 and my calcium level is perfect…no pills here!! Ps..I was naughty and ate home made Mac n cheese for my dinner after work…needed comfort tonite

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Very blah day here. I've been suffering from a bad Crohn's flare-up and we're waiting to hear from friends and family in Lewiston and Auburn Maine.

[@suestephan3255]

Mrs. Trumble I am so very sad about this recent massacre. I will never be numb to this. Times like this “Come Lord Jesus, Come!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@suestephan3255 I understand that. We are, too. We're praying all of my hubby's friends and family. We've only heard from a handful of them, and he has a large family.

[@sharonpults1177]

I make this same recipe and have the same results but wonder if it is a difference in flour? I switched up my flour last week when I made them and had the same result so am puzzled. I am going to experiment and add a few more tablespoons of flour and see if that helps them not be so thin. I agree, they taste wonderful. Thanks for all your videos. p.s. when I made this recipe before, they were a bit "puffier" so not sure what is going on.

[@kathybunce309]

Chill the dough that might help it not be flat. ❤

[@donnaregenauer2757]

Hello from KY love you and your channel and your family ❤️.Cheer up all the anxiety you went through is catching up with you.Have something sweet and go out to eat at your favorite place.❤

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]

Hello my friend

[@monicamoore111]

Sometimes you just need to have a comfort day. Love you guys!! ❤

[@loji5315]

Leslie, why are you so hard on yourself. You know that you are the Lord’s masterpiece and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. If God wanted you to be skinny he would have made you that way. Trust the Lord and be comfortable the way you are. Continue your faith in the Lord, be happy and God Bless you

[@judithryle2113]

I love Diet Pepsi and diet Dr Pepper too. Better than diet cokes

[@Bythaway564]

I'm having a blah day. Woke up to our first hard freeze. Thanks for sharing your comfort day with us. It brought comfort to me ❤️

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Leslie, is there no creamed soup or even just some Stock?? In the rice? This most be pretty dry, but IDK💕🙏🙏

[@francesgraves4550]

Loving your natural hair colour Leslie! More and more of us are doing this!

[@lizwertz1910]

Hey Leslie, with all that is going on in the world - having “the blahs” is totally understandable. Comfort food to the rescue! Be blessed.

[@deborahdunnell6343]

Chicken and rice needs butter.

[@jenniferbrooke1012]

Chocolate chip cookies, one of my favorites! I know it was a “blah” day but glad you showed up anyways. Remember, JOY comes in the morning and tomorrow is a NEW day! ❤️🙏🏻⛪️

[@stevenwilson1762]

Always love a good chocolate chip cookie. We have had beautigul weather here this week. Our Indian summer maybe. We have had many doctors appointments this week but still enjoying our sunshine. Nice gesture for your family member...Mrs.Steve

[@debgalloway1398]

When I was a young Mom I used to sell cookies, bread, etc... at our local beauty shop. Back then I was able to set a little cart in the shop & keep it full of assorted baked goods ( I sold cookies the most). I had to restock when needed and my daughter was a toddler so you can imagine the challenges! One day, being in a hurry, I melted the butter in the microwave. I got all but the last half of the flour mixed in & had to stop to tend to her. When I came back the dough the butter had started to solidify making me need far less flour. I found that this was the way I could make much more soft, moist cookies--all by mistake! To this day, more than 30 years later I make them the same way! For a long time I made cookies to donate to the family care center our church runs so the families had them to snack on while they were there & I had the fun of baking all the time! I liked to make different dishes for church potlucks but always had people requesting cookies by The Cookie Lady. You may want to try my mistake & see what you think, I'd love to hear your opinion.

[@Bev-Anne]

Are you still on Keto or low carb?

[@marlajowens]

Hi Leslie! It is not a beautiful day here. Yesterday was a blah day too with some rain. It has rained today. It is 69 degrees here today. The weekend is going to drop temperature down into the 40’s here in Iowa. I am going to have to get caught up with your videos for last weeks videos. We were out of town and went to the Kansas City, Missouri area to visit a friend over the weekend. I had lots to do last week as well. So I will watch todays video and work backwards. As always, I cherish your videos. You are a blessing! Have a blessed weekend Leslie, Bryant and family. Love and hugs!

[@godiswatching2342]

I've learned that if you roll your cookies into little balls and refrigerate or freeze them like that in a large gallon size plastic baggie until you need them, the cookies will be nice and rounded when you bake them. It's also very easy just to take out what you need when you need them. 😊

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

Me having blah day too! On day ten of a bout with Covid. Been rough. Now very washed out but slowly on the mend.

[@suestephan3255]

Hi Leslie, I recently heard to have puffed up Chocolate chip cookies keep the butter in refrig until ready to mix. Not room temperature. Have not tried that but I will

[@catholicfaithofmine2664]

Very busy morning. I had left over spaghetti with no sauce but butter and Parmesan cheese.

[@TomBrewer-j8l]

I did notice that as you measured flour, that the measures weren't full. Not a criticism, just experience. If my dough is very soft, I know the cookies will be flat. I even add two or 3 tbsp. Of flour extra. Doesn't matter. Can't go wrong with sugar and chocolate. 😅

[@doraarellano2283]

There’s nothing like a Warm Toll House cookie. Your chicken and rice is a lot healthier then mine. I make my rice with chicken add cream of chicken soup and lots of pepper. Haven’t made it in a long because it’s so bad for , sure tastes good.

[@jocelynrose7911]

We are so on the same page. I’m experiencing a blah (but blessed) day too. There’s nothing like comfort food to make things a bit better👍. May God bless you as you bless others👍🙏🏻

You probably just need to set your weather clock to your time zone. I have one too, every time I replace the batterries I have to reset that.

[@rubymcgilvra1771]

My daughter made chicken and rice tonight. We always eat it with chipped up jalapenos and buttered sliced bread.

[@Patty-jj4en]

🌹 I’m making cinnamon rolls. Have a great evening!

Sorry it’s just a me thing, I’ll mute. Try to get sunshine on those BLAH days😢

[@karenlyons3790]

I love a comfort day..,. Sorry your having a blah day.... The weather sounds wonderful...... Mmm mmm toll house cookies so good even better warm and gooey 😊..... Is that instant rice or long grain since you put the lid on and turned off the heat... Would think it's instant .... I like my chicken and rice with the yellow rice....hope church went well.... Definitely don't film the family member that's more private for you and that person... God bless you for helping and doing gods work ... Have a wonderful night ... ❤️😃🙏🙏

[@dianamahar483]

I think we’ve ALL made these cookies before !!
