[@sueg2496]

So glad you enjoyed the southwest shepherds pie. You two are the sweetest people to watch. Hugs to Gracie Lou and Merrry Christmas to you all.

[@MandyintheMaking]

We sure did! Thank you SO much for sharing the recipe with us! Merry Christmas!!

[@viviannaallen7316]

Hi Sue, I'm not much of a shepherds pie fan. But this one looks really really good. I'm definitely gonna try it

[@zullo3529]

@Sue G Thanks for the recipe. We are having it tomorrow night! Yum

[@lindaperry2006]

Thanks Sue for the recipe I am going to try it as soon as I get some salsa.

[@Rynn74]

@Sueg2496 We are so making this next week thank you for sharing this.

[@thewilsons13]

I too am a blind cook. I lost most of my vision about 5 years ago, around the age of 40. I learned to read braille and made braille labels for all my spices and canned goods. This allows me to be more independent in the kitchen. I enjoy listening to your videos and have tried several of your recipes. Keep them coming, thanks!

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so sorry that happened and I'm so proud of you for pushing on! You are a fighter!!

[@thewilsons13]

@@MandyintheMaking I tend to like to focus on my abilities instead of my disabilities :-). God has blessed me with a wonderful husband who encourages me to try new things and be adventurous. It was fun to hear of how Sue is pushing on and trying new things as well. And I'm definitely going to try her tasty recipe! .

[@deborah2302]

I amso happy that you ate cooking!!

[@EmilyBrown-xy7dn]

I just want to say a huge thank you for these videos. It has been a really rough year and a half (I’m legally blind, my toddler was diagnosed with cancer, and we lost a baby boy at 5 months pregnant etc) I tell you this because your videos give me a place to just relax, escape from the hard for a few minutes, and get me excited about cooking again. My toddler loves to sit on my lap and talk about what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your time and talents and especially your humour and for being human and realistic that you don’t have to be perfect to enjoy cooking and sharing that with people. PS I love how supportive your husband is with you doing these videos. It reminds me of my husband’s constant love and support and makes me smile. Merry Christmas!

[@SimpleLife365]

Prayers and many brighter tomorrows in 2023. 🙏🏼💛

[@lisakandu5232]

Prayers for your toddler’s healing and comfort for your loss.

When my kids were little I would make spaghetti sauce and all kinds of leftover pasta . My kids called mixed up spaghetti. They would laugh about it. They are in their 30s and still call it that. Funny.

I mix whatever pasta I have together too. Hey, it's all pasta. The chicken noodle soup looks fabulous. I love how excited the Common Tater gets about the meals. He really describes them well.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yes he does!! Thank you so much!

[@renmuffett]

I love what you are doing. I started cooking at age 9 after watching my mother as far back as I can remember. Raised my 5 children cooking every day and night. How refreshing to try new ideas with a new twist. I've twisted recipes my whole life. Being creative is the Spice if life! PS, I want your set of pots and pans!

[@aimeeobrien5267]

I very rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted you to know that I love watching you and your beautiful family. Your videos are so comforting and your recipes all look amazing. I have a list of your recipes to make. Keep doing what you do. Two thumbs up!

[@charitydetemple5270]

I am so thankful for y’all’s channel, it is THE thing that helped me start cooking for my family a couple years ago, now when I plan our meals for the week I just look around the Mandy in the Making website 🥰 there’s hasn’t been a meal we haven’t liked

Love Steven in the videos. So funny!! Love when he talked about his family when he was growing up. Great memories!! Hope you all have a Wonderful Christmas!!

[@debsa-nonymous]

This is not the first time I've seen you have rice with your potatoes and I feel so vindicated when you do! When I make soup, I must have my potatoes in it AND rice and I've had people comment "you add TWO starches?" Well, yes, ma'am, I do and I'm not the only one! So there! haha

[@djones2993]

I love when Steven is in the videos! You two are great! Can't wait to try these recipes!

Thanks! They are Caraway pans. We LOVE them.

[@krisheathman9053]

Speaking of grandparents, let me first say how very much I love and miss them. They were such an important part of my life, even influencing who I am and what I grew up to be. My papa had cancer, and that’s what took him, but I would stay with them for days and sit with him, walk beside him in case he needed gramma and then I could run and get her quickly. And I also brought him his pills 💊 in a little soufflé cup along with a glass of water. He always called me, “Papa’s little nurse”. So I grew up to be a nurse that works with cancer patients. I am an RN and I work for Hospice. My gramma’s influence took me into the kitchen for cooking and lots of baking. Anyway, short story long 😂, all of that to tell you a quick little fact about my gramma. She ate white bread with: butter, RAW onion slabs covered with salt and pepper. Now that is one thing that did NOT rub off on me. Might be good, I don’t know, but I’m never going to try it to find out. Love you guys ❤and thank you for listening to me carry on and on. Memories tend to do that to me❣️

[@artsoul-jeanstice5473]

No spinach stems! I am right there with you. If it’s cooked spinach especially, it’s a texture thing for me! So we’re weird sisters. Enjoy you show, the humor and warmth is always a joy. Best holiday wishes from a sixth generation Cali girl.

[@joanhawkins8552]

Might as well put everything together in a bowl, it all goes to the same place anyway. Lol Love your recipes

[@marcidrag]

My husband and I made the mini quiches from your last video for our family gathering last weekend. They were a hit! I got so many compliments from my in-laws, especially my mother-in-law. So big ol' thank you Mandy!!!

[@sandrast.martin3613]

Oh my gosh! When Steven talked about beans, fried potatoes, fried meat, a piece of onion, and bread, that sounds exactly like my dad. That's what we ate every night when I was growing up...most nights pinto beans. And we had white bread, cornbread, or rolls. Good country eating!

[@nancyholmes1765]

Steven is so funny and it’s great that you guys do all these videos together whether it’s eating,tasting, or cooking together! You guys seem so happy and fun loving! Keep up the videos I love them!

[@bonniehooten8305]

Many, I'm recently single. I'm used to cooking for "AN ARMY" I had list interest in cooking for just myself, until I ran across your videos 🥰 YOU, are an inspiration to myself and so many others! I love the chemistry between you and your family! I miss cooking for all of my family, though, they are all grown up now😢 Until i found yours channel, i thought I'd never cook again 😢....... HOWEVER, YOU, have inspired me to cook again ❤ i cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH 🙏🏼❤🥰

[@michellehorning2216]

Another really good video! I love hearing how much your other subscribers are enjoying your channel as much as I am! I am looking forward to trying all of these recipes. That Chicken Noodle Soup looks so good! Hubby wants me to do the Southwest Shepherd's Pie, which also sounds delicious! Beef Stew is a cold night favourite so we will be making that too very soon! Thank you so much, Mandy! Have a great week!😊💕

There is always two things on my mom's dinner table. A cut up raw white onion, and cantaloupe. Since I was a kid. 😁

[@ElsaWabakken]

Mandy, I wanted you to know, since I found you, most days I see what have on hand to make for dinner. I then watch you on utube and look for chicken dish s for example and. Look at your channel for ideas. I love cooking and baking. I’m so thankful I found you.

[@dawnrodney7032]

I too love having u on in the background while I am working, it’s so peaceful, funny and sweet how u both interact together! I am not a good cook and really do not enjoy figuring out what to have for dinner each day! So I am getting inspired by watching u. It is just my husband at home, kids are all grown up and I am tired of planning meals!! I find I am a lot like u, I love my chocolate, have to remove the stems off spinach, love my veggie garden. Love your ideas about decorating your house and grocery hauls, etc. God bless and keep recording! ❤

Love the addition of half/ half and cornstarch, and fresh spinach! Great change up. Can't wait to make it.

Just made the Italian Chicken Soup for my husband and I. We love it!!! It's a keeper for us too! I've made your white chicken chili, white chicken enchiladas Mexican meatloaf and BBQ bacon meatloaf. Love them all! May the joy of CHRISTmas be with you and your family all year long.

When I watch your videos I add at least one of the recipes to next weeks dinner lineup! This time I added the beef stew and the southwest shepherds pie🤤 I love that your recipes aren’t so crazy and they are things my family will actually eat! I also feel like you are someone I know at this point and you could just be my friend Mandy from down the street❤️

[@kellyhoulton2998]

I think I will call the chicken soup "Christmas Soup" since not only is it red and green like you mentioned, but with the bow tie pasta in it, they look like Christmas bows 🙂 Merry Christmas and many blessings for the New Year!

When my kids ask me what seasonings to use for a certain thing, I tell them to open the containers and smell things, and then they'll know what to use. They think I'm crazy. 😄

Another great video! I want to tell you that I had some friends over for dinner tonight and I did an appetizer/dessert menu. I searched your videos for appetizer ideas and made the Loaded Mashed Potato Bombs recipe that you posted about 2 years ago as one of the appetizers. They were a huge hit and I sent them home with the recipe! I also made the cocktail meatballs from that same video using cranberry sauce and chili sauce. I too always made them with grape jelly and I still think I like them best with grape jelly, but everyone loved them this way as well. Thank you for all the great recipes you share in every video. You are an inspiration!

[@deborahmower8539]

That soup looks amazing. We've been sick for several weeks now, and are just starting to recover. As a result, we've had to scrap our usual plans for a family Christmas, and I think this soup would be ideal for just the two us here at home.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. I pray you make the best of a not so great situation. Merry Christmas.

I'm 100% going to try the Southwest Shepherd's Pie! That looks amazing! Please show us the fails. No need to tell us where the recipe came from or the process of making it, just the fail reactions will be gold. Gracie Lou actually shook her head no and said "no" when you asked her a question lol. Precious sweet girl. Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for another great recipe video. 🎄😋

[@amypletcher4411]

I agree. Maybe by the failed attempts people could help with the tweeking of the recipe. To make it taste better.

[@TheWondabar]

Loving all the recipes, Mandy. My husband bought me the cheese grater for my stocking for Christmas and I absolutely love it!

[@HeidiLilley]

I love watching the two of you in the kitchen together and the way you interact with each other. Your humor is so very important to a marriage and especially when you do something like a KZbin together. I think you have some of the best meals and have not yet found any I would not be happy to make. I make my beef stew pretty much the same as this one except in place of the wine I use a bottle of Guinness dark ale. It imparts a wonderful deep flavor and you can not tell it is ale in there. Yummy.

[@nicoletierheimer3546]

Love you guys! So fun to watch. Steven’s grandpa sounds like mine, rip!

There’s nothing “common” about the commentator😜. Keep the recipes coming Mandy and Steven in the making! Sending you love and blessings from Oregon 💕

[@rhondabarnes1702]

I love you both but I also love Gracie Lou. Just a suggestion, you could bring a little bit of grated cheese to the table so she could have a taste of something. Just 2 or 3 little pieces. Have a blessed and happy Christmas and New Year. 🥰🙏❤

Every time I try a recipe with wine in it, I have to change it. I cook for a RECOVERING alcoholic. Very proud that he has 30 years under his belt! My question......does it taste the same without the wine?

[@elaineoutdoors9581]

You're actually both a couple of sweet potatoes, LOL. I love your videos and watching you both interact with each other. I find myself cracking up when you guys are laughing. Thanks for the good laugh out loud sessions. I made your chicken soup tonight because I had all the ingredients on hand and man was a good. I think that Browning that chicken before you put it in there really pushes that flavor over the top

[@laurenecarter246]

A couple of sweet potatoes!! ❤ that is so cute! 😂

[@mdketzer]

I make my beef stew just like that and yes, the wine gives it such a rich depth of flavor. Definitely going to make the southwest shepherds pie! You can never go wrong with a chunky cream soup! As always you rocked it! Merry Christmas Steven, Mandy, Cole and Gracie Lou!

[@MoonBabyNails]

It's 8 degrees here and I made this Italian Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner. My husband love it and he never wants any other chicken noodle soup again. I only had to make a couple of changes (with what I had on hand) I used chicken thighs & shell macaroni. Thank you so much for sharing all these amazing dishes on your channel. I like how you keep it simple and totally real. Y'all take care. ~~~~Tina

[@mariabean8627]

I love watching you two cooking together, you guys are brilliant 💖 I just have a small detail change for you, traditionally it's lamb in a shepherd's pie and beef is a cottage pie. Also the shepherds on the Romney Marshes, Kent, England, were called Lookers so we have Lookers pie which contains lamb or mutton and game 😁 Thank you for your videos. Merry Christmas 🎄✨🤗

Though I do follow several others cooking the spouses are not in the videos. I understand they are probably camera shy. My husband is too. Lol. I am going to try all those recipes you shared today.

[@marlyking1972]

I made the southwestern shepherd's pie. I added a dollop of sour cream just before eating, and it was amazing 👏🏻

[@maryhite8917]

I usually watch you (and Steven) on my TV and I have no way to comment at the time they first come out. I have to tell you that the Baked Ziti (Rotini) Casserole is AMAZING. The first time I made it I only got one little serving then my son (35yrs old) and my husband demolished it! So I made it for my church's monthly lunch. I doubled the recipe and took 2 large pans. There was only about 13 or so people. I brought less than half of the last pan home and it never made it to the fridge. It is a small bit ahead of the Killer White Chicken Chili which I have made several times as well as the White Chicken Enchiladas. Needless to say I watch as soon as a new video comes out! Thank You and May the Lord bless you and keep you. "May the Lord lift up His Countenance upon you and give you peace."

[@becki_booo]

Love the recipes and Mandy can I just tell u I mix my pastas together all the time and my son loves it. He's 6 and now he literally requests it all the time. So I pick up a bunch of different kinds and he'll chose two or three n have me mix them he loves it lol
