✨TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH HOSTING A HOLIDAY AS A WILDLY CHAOTIC PERSON✨ | fun in the double wide🤣

[@tiffanywilkinson2245]

I'm at the beginning and I gotta stop and tell you. Years ago, we were broke, I mean beyond broke. No food in the house, no tree, no nothing for my three kids. There was a knock at the door and it was the people from the angel tree project. They brought in bags and bags of food and gifts for my children, shoes, coats and so much more. I still can't talk about it without crying but because of the generosity of others, my kids had food in their belly, warm clothes and gifts. This is def. a worthy cause to help children that have no other. Ok, back to the video.

[@tiagronwald3361]

I have to say, may God bless you and the children for doing for others. Shane said a sincere thank you to the followers, but I have to say thank you, guys. I really enjoy this channel. All the love and energy you all put into it. Thank you so much for your time.

[@dothatch5147]

Yes this is the best channel on utube and this Christian family is awesome. I have bought Christmas for little children but the most touching Christmas I ever had was, when I use to visit a nursing home there was a lady who I got attached to. I was in a store shopping and I found a babydoll she was all rubber, perfect size and color. When I took it to her she said I can’t take care of no baby but she did keep it soon it was her baby and every one knew it. People brought pretty doll clothes to her her mind was slowly slipping. When she went to the dining room someone had to babysit. When she had to go to the hospital they would call the nursing home. Where is her baby and someone would go get it and this was her new life she was a new mother at 80 plus. Word got around and the staff knew to take care of her baby. She was buried with her baby. Of all this was my most memorable Christmas.

Pecan pie is tough pie for a new to baking cook and you were courageous to give it a try. I have done it once 45 yes ago, I cheat and buy pecan pies. Cosco makes good pies by the way. You need to temper the eggs. Google how to do it so you don't end up with scrambled eggs next go around. Also, in the future, look for a receipt for pecan bars they are easier and really yummy. Sweet potatoes pies are the bomb in my opinion. Tomato pie is savory main course. Favorite old-time dessert is Blackberry jam cake, but it is a very co.plex receipt. If it does not rise you have a British style pudding. I will have to in look for my grandma's receipt to send to the PO box with step by step directions and my phone number in case you have questions or hit a snag.

[@DLRyoung]

Daddy was payed off for months! We were also blessed to have angel tree gifts. It’s nice that they still do this! God bless

[@janetdwyer1867]

Hi sweet friends I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.the kids were so cute shopping ❤

[@tfaz77tf]

You should be so very proud. You are raising your children to be loving, giving, and honest humans. People these days are forgetting the basics. God, family, kindness, and compassion. That's what I love about your family and you. Keep up the love ❤️.

[@anniq2678]

I’m really proud of you Merina. You’ve come so far in your Martha Stewart journey. You’re never afraid to be caught trying and that’s inspiring too.

[@CegoZelda]

Happy Thanksgiving Merina! We have all had the eggs to scramble when adding them to hot butter, that's how we learn. You have to temper them by whisking in the hot butter a little at a time to the eggs in a bowl and not on the heat. Let the butter and sugar be the only thing heated on the stove. Enjoyed your video and your menu. I wish I was as organized as you are. Take care! 🍁😊🍁

[@jonesfamily9119]

UPDATE: My mom finished her last round of radiation on Wednesday and rung the bell! Praise Jesus! My mother in law has had to switch doctors and found out the first doctors messed up a lot. They did all the wrong testing and her biopsy came back saying "may or may not be cancerous" which is very odd and upset her new doctor. She jas found out it is grade 3 which means it is aggressive. She has an MRI tomorrow to find out more. For now her surgery looks like it will be a lumpectomy with revision instead of double mastectomy followed by chemo and radtiation. Please continue to pray. She is very nervous but we are thankful she lives with us and we can help along the way. Thank you all!

I always felt guilty about my children’s gifts when they were growing up - money was tight - but they talk about the joy fro things like cocoa music and tree decorating - certain things I got them - it wasn’t the latest and greatest but I was surprised about their memories- time is the greatest gift we have

[@karenchaney7709]

It was good to see you and the family working together on the Thanksgiving dinner. There is nothing wrong with learning with them. fun for all!!

[@LaLaBama22]

Merina, just use the pecan pie recipe on the back of the Karo syrup bottle. It's perfect every time. Off the top of my head it's 1C of Granulated sugar. 1C Light Karo Syrup, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, 1/2 stick melted butter, 1C pecans. Mix everything except the pecans in a bowl. When it's well mixed, add the pecans. Bake for approximately 15 minutes on 400° then lower oven to 350° and bake for 30 more minutes. I love your joy and enthusiasm.

[@pamelakrushansky3960]

Watching your babies shop and the joy on their faces made me smile!!!

[@Melissaiskind]

I do not think how inspirational and kind you and your family truly are! You constantly make me want to be a better person❤

[@aleciagrace9154]

Try following the pecan pie recipe on the bottle of Karo syrup...its a winner everytime but you're doing good mama!! You got this!!

[@Ashhhtastic]

You and Shane are such a great couple, so blessed to have found this channel and be apart of your amazing community! As I’m apart of the low income families who sign up every year for angel tree and Salvation Army Christmas help, I truly appreciate your kind heart towards others like me 🩵🩵🩵🩵

[@beingtoreyjohnson8874]

Wow thank you for teaching your children to give love it!!! 😊

[@catherineb5066]

Girl, when I made my first turkey🦃cause my Daddy never showed me how to cook one.I left the whole bag of turkey parts, giblets,and ew.I was proud my first turkey was gorgeous ,and I did it all by myself. Daddy went to scoop out some stuffing...there it was plastic bag and all...Daddy couldnt stop laughing.I turned 9 shades of embarrassed ...🤭🫣🤣😂

[@lyndioli]

I did the same thing with my first turkey!!! I was only 19 and had never cooked one! Love n learn!

[@allwedohomestead800]

I love the Angel tree experience with the kids. What a way to truly teach your children. And honestly they know what kids love! Try the pecan pie recipe on the back of a Karo syrup bottle. The best!

[@dothatch5147]

Be yourself. You are everything a family could want.

[@staceyalvey8150]

Merina you should be so proud of how far you have come . You are a great mom, wife and such a good friend to all !! God bless you and your family.❤ Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@thetanz8111]

Those kiddos are so, so sweet and kind hearted. Merina and Shane you guys are awesome. I had an amazing Mom thank God but, I wish I could've had a dad like Shane. You both are doing such a great job. It's nice to see. -biggest hugs- Hi to Nanny! God bless all of you.

[@christyjones1974]

Your kids were so excited. I love this for them! A true reflection of the way they are being raised!!!

[@deborahgiamalva761]

Use the recipe on the Karo syrup bottle. Always good. And you need to add the eggs slowly. And put some of the filling with the eggs to temper them, make the eggs warm like your filling.

[@cindywhite218]

Me, too. It's delicious. I also let the heated ingredients cool down a bit first, to avoid the eggs cooking.

[@angela-m-p]

I used the Karo syrup recipe but added the melted butter to to syrup first, then added my eggs last so it didn’t scramble and mine came out great

[@triciaavery3888]

The “oops, I did it again” 😂 sent me into Christmas Eve 🤣🤣🤣 I was screaming 😂😂😂

[@tiffanymay3586]

On your million dollar pie there young lady, no plastic in the microwave, either let your whip cream unfreeze over night in the fridge or on the counter for an hour or so.

[@kathyknight8081]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 I love y'all helping others it's always better to give than receive!!! Beautiful Christ filled hearts ❤️ God bless each one of you, train up a child in the Lord and it will never depart from them !!!! Amen Hallelujah 🙏🙌 so very proud of you all ‼️😇

[@robinwilson9243]

The easiest pecan pie is to use the recipe on the back of Karo syrup. It is very easy.

[@barliegirl5374]

You don’t have Operations Christmas Box through Samaritan’s Purse? That’s always nice

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. You and the kiddos did so great baking/cooking and glad Shane was willing to be chief dishwasher for you all. Continued prayers for Nanny.

Pumpkin Pie 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin 1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1(9 inch) unbaked pie crust PREPARATIONS Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1” from crust comes out clean. Garnish as desired. This is my favorite way to make pumpkin pie, turns out great every time! A tip for a juicy roast turkey/chicken is to roast it breast side down.

[@loribillings3810]

You need to give yourself more credit on your cooking skills. Everything looks awesome. God bless you all.

[@ramonacarroll8388]

That is so sweet to watch your kids give back for those in need

[@evypeace03]

Everything looked soooo good. I'm so happy to see you and your family doing great. To those who help others in need, may it come back to you tenfold. #peaceonearth

[@ChristyK29]

I like the pumpkin pie recipe on the Libby's pumpkin pie can. My favs would be pumpkin pie or a pumpkin roll. It has cream cheese filling.

[@tammyrayburn1700]

I've never seen a pecan pie where you cook the filling first ...you just mix the filling and pour it into your pie crust .but like I always say try it once if you don't like it find a new recipe ...I loved watching the kids shopping for the angel tree and helping you in the kitchen ..great memories

[@BelindaNelson-sl2lj]

I agree on the pecan pie. Never heard of that.

[@cindywhite218]

I've always used the recipe on the Kayro syrup bottle. You warm the syrup and butter together in a pan. But you need to let it cool down before adding to the mixture that has the eggs. 🥧

[@feliciabriggs9928]

Merina, I’ve wanted to comment for the longest while but thought you might think me silly. I lost my best friend of 30 years a couple years ago, and forgive me I can’t remember exactly when because she was one of many-since 2017 I’ve lost my (ex) husband, several other good/best friends, several Aunts/Uncles, and my parents within a few months of each other. I’ve called them the grieving years, and not one died of Covid. Almost all were “sudden” deaths too, totally unexpected. Well to get to my true point-you look like you could be Luanna’s daughter to me! She never had children, but it’s helped me with the grief to see you and your awesome family. It’s like you popped on my feed one day when I was missing her terribly, as if God showed me you like a gift! The resemblance is striking but your love of Jesus kept me coming back and watching you guys making mobile mansions is just bonus! I want to give Shane a THE HUSBAND award, and you-you are like what I’d hope her daughter would’ve been like if she’d of had one and I can’t begin to explain all that means…but it’s like an all that and a bag of chips award! And lastly, I’d like to say thanks for sharing, for me it’s been a joy to watch! ❤

[@mikkidavidson8048]

Bless your heart for helping children 😊

[@dannadonahue916]

Making new recipes are fun and frustrating. This year I made a from scratch no bake cheesecake. Sounds simple right? 😂 Well, no! The cream cheese didn’t smooth out like I thought it should even at room temperature. It tasted ok but not light and fluffy like the jello ones do. It was a little clumpy. My sweet husband said it was great of course. As far as you being like all of us when you grow up, I feel that way about you sweet girl. I am 55! I’m grown. 😂I have learned so much from you and Shane. Love y’all

[@christinel0212]

God bless you guys for blessing others❣️

[@tracyorme5956]

I love you all, and I wish you all many blessings for the holidays. And, thank you for always being a beautiful soul and watching the kiddo's having so much fun picking out gifts they are the sweetest. They have so much kindness and love in them from the both of you. ❤🩷😊😊🙏🙏

Sweet potato pie is my favorite. But then you have sweet potato souffle which is incorporated into the meal. My family likes pumpkin pie.

[@dannadonahue916]

So good to see your beautiful faces! I am thankful for y’all. My sister and I loved picking an Angel from the tree each year growing up. We looked so forward to it. We were far from rich but our parents still showed us the value of giving. It truly is more blessed to give than receive. I still get excited to pick things out for others.

[@kathycortez232]

Happy Thanksgiving you showed out so proud of your children such sweet little souls

[@tracy8805]

If you have an Instant Pot, cook your eggs in it for develed eggs. So easy to peel. It should have an egg setting but if not, 7 minutes works.

[@Blondzilla77]

Yes! I use the 5-5-5 egg method in the instant pot. Cook 5 mins, natural release for 5 mins, ice bath 5 mins. Perfect every single time.

[@gailclyde2737]

To peel eggs easily... before boiling take a spoon and tap the wide part of the egg. Lightly... til you hear a snap. That breaks the membrane. Then cook your eggs as usual the shells will literally slip right off. I also told Amanda Payne this and she went nuts. 😊

[@hbates3766]

Cool tip. I've never heard that one.

[@Amandas-Mom]

It works !!

[@KimBerly-su7wx]

Marena, you are definitely killing this whole homemaker thing. Shane, the syrup is pronounced "Kay-Row" Marena, you didn't make dressing. You made stuffing. Dressing is made from cornbread. Stuffing is more of a northern thing and dressing is a southern thing. I'm so glad that you and your family had a great thanksgiving.

[@pcodignoni9344]

It’s cool that your daughter wanted to help in kitchen. When she’s at the stove or counter, please hold handle of skillet and / or bowls.. prevents spills

[@ChameleonzDream]

We love graham cracker pie 2 lg boxes of cook and serve chocolate pudding mix (must be cook and serve not instant) Milk Box of honey graham crackers Peanut butter creamy Take the crackers and peanut butter and make sandwiches with it a nice thick layer of peanut butter between two crackers Make pudding according to the directions Take any size pan depends on how many layers you want (like a lasagna) Add layer of chocolate on the bottom then on top of that add layer of the peanut butter graham cracker don’t push them into it just lay them on top of chocolate then add a more pudding and then another layer of cracker sandwiches last layer should be pudding refrigerate for at least 12 hours top with whip cream I have made this with one layer of the sandwiches just do half the pudding a layer of sandwiches and the remaining pudding or do as many layers as you want this is soooo good ❤

[@gjburkie2119]

Great job Merina it all looks delicious!❤ How I have always made pecan pie is just add the slightly beaten eggs, sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Then I slowly add the butter to it all, mix it well and then add the pecans. I can’t tell you how many times I have messed something up. We all have. Maybe give it another try and I’m sure you will get it. I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving!

[@maryfetters3719]

When your eggs are done take them out of the pan and put them in an ice bath. I still peel them under water but I also roll them to break up the shell before I peel them I promise they peel cleaner

[@truthfullyme7416]

Jay Jay and Ro Ro make me laugh. I don't have a fave Thanksgiving dessert to bake but for Christmas it's definitely, butter tarts.

[@Rita-yw2tn]

I raised one of my granddaughters and I’m glad that I was able to do it . But I’m not going to lie and say that it was easy because it was hard at times because I was living on a fixed income because I wasn’t able to work anymore and she was only 3 years old when she came to live with me . We made it through it though with the help of people like you guys at Christmas time the angel tree was a blessing to me I don’t know what I would done without other peoples help . You’re a blessing to so many children and their parents . You have such a beautiful family and your home is beautiful ! You’re an amazing young lady and I love you . ❤🙏🏻❤

[@mymodernhomestead]

Your meal looked amazing, Merina! You are an all-star! We are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow (Saturday). It's the first year my daughter has lived and worked away from home. I wanted to wait until she could be home. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed a wonderful family time! Oh, and pecan pies are not easy pies to make. I still have a hard time with them, so don't be too hard on yourself. 💜 🥰

[@maryking3033]

Oh the angel tree is one of our favorite things to do at Christmas time. It kicks off our Christmas Season. I am so tickled that I am not the only person that tries a new dessert at the holidays. My sister and I made Martha Stewart’s pecan pie for years. BUT I tried the Edward’s in our local freezer section. And it tasted the exact same and it was under $10.00. Good job on making a million dollar pie. It’s an amazing pie.

The pecan is easy... but I usually put the pecans in the crust and pour the syrup mixture over the top and bake it. The pecans will rise to the top. Don't ever give up. You can do it ❤

[@suethomas5387]

I myself do not like pumpkin pie, its a texture thing. But I love sweet potatoe pie. The texture is different, I can handle it.

[@donnaokeefe6463]

Oh Marina. I use 1/2 & 1/2 in place of canned milk. It makes your pumpkin pie creamer. Better texture. I put about a tablespoon of baking soda in the water when I hard boil eggs. Boil 7 minutes then drain. Put eggs in ice water till cold. Then peel

[@TheStarnes]

I’m definitely here for the southern dessert recipes!! 🙌🏼 My Memaw’s Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is a southern holiday classic! Sounds gross, but mayo melts to like an oil 😊 Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar ▢ 2 teaspoons baking soda ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ▢ ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ▢ 1 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip ▢ 1 cup water lukewarm Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely Icing: chocolate icing recipe on the hersheys cocoa powder box 😊

[@joannegiannelli5055]

Shane, if you want really good cole slaw, get a bag of shredded cole slaw cabbage mix (usually where the bagged lettuce is found). Then get a jar of Marie’s Cole Slaw dressing, also found in the refrigerated vegetable section. Mix the cabbage and enough dressing to how you like it, either on the dry side (yuk) or a wetter mix. The large size container of dressing will be enough for two bags of shredded cabbage. I used to make it from scratch but this is so much easier and really delicious. It’s a sweet dressing but really flavorful.

[@raelenekerr3913]

[@carolynmassey3857]

You put the eggs in hot syrup and it cooked them. You mix the sugar and karo syrup, eggs and vanilla together in a bowll. Put the pecans in the pie plate and then pour the syrup on the pecans. As you bake the mixture the pecans will come to the top. There is nothing wrong with buying pecan pies from the store. You don't cook the sugar and karo. It all cooks while in the oven. Don't sell yourself short. You are an amazing mom and your children will have wonder memories as adults. You are a blessing to watch.

That was amazing, love when she said 2 yrs old always love ice cream. My favorite pie for thanksgiving and I also do this for Christmas is a chocolate delight pie. Use the graham crackers crumbs, 1 box chocolate pudding, whipped topping, half block cream cheese, half cup powder sugar, and chopped pecans. Make grahm crumbs as box saids in 9in pan. Make pudding after it sets pour over crust. Mix whipped topping, cream cheese and powder sugar together. Put on top of pudding, then top with chopped pecans. So good.

I always did the whole sweet potatoes, but then I gave canned yams a try about 3 years ago..never looked back. So convenient, on a day when convenience matters.

Looked so yummy! Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a blessed day.

[@WildForIndie]

Merina, when I was your age I was learning just like you, mainly because my mother was a perfectionist so we weren’t allowed to help in the kitchen. I’m now 54 with 3 grown kiddos and a 16 year old daughter and I am sooo good at cooking and baking now, self taught. Not to toot my own horn lol but just to say you will learn as you go, and if you’re persistent, you will look back and say, wow, look how far I’ve come! same goes for cleaning, although I think a lot also has to do with kiddos growing up! 😊❤

[@STANDINGONKINDNESS-s7h]

I MAKE A MEAN COLE SLAW. The secret to a good Cole Slaw is the cabbage has to very finely cut. I use the raw cole slaw package in the store brand, add mayo, little milk little apple cidar vinegar, black pepper and a little Stevia.

[@hbates3766]

Tip on stuffing. Cut up the bread and lay on large baking sheets. Bake @350 about 20 minutes and leave out the day before to dry the bread out before making the stuffing. I've even toasted bread slices in the toaster, the day of making and then cube it. Your dinner looked great! Merry Christmas! Love from Idaho.
