I loved that he thanked you for cooking and you thanked him for doing the yard work. Y'all are so sweet together. It's not lost on me. I love watching you together!

[@marcialane8235]

Use that knorr tomato chicken powder for making Mexican/Spanish rice…it’s wonderful.

[@jerri117]

One way to thicken the gravy is to use the juice from the meat instead of water in the cornstarch. I'm sure its delicious either way! Everything looks delicious! Thanks Mandy! I hope you and Stephen have a blessed weekend! 💕

[@lorieger9505]

Love that sweet little Grace. We have a year old kitty named Grace. You are such a delight!

[@lauramiller7690]

I think I'd like the roast beef on an onion bun with a slice of provolone on it sounds really good to me. Looks like one of those Comfort meals on a cold rainy day

[@janetdwyer1867]

Love easy recipes my son with autism runs when you come on he loves to watch you. He says mom hurry Mandy and Steven on❤

[@MandyintheMaking]

Awwww my heart just melted!!!!!! Please tell him we said hello!

[@GloriaJackson-r4b]

​@@MandyintheMakingThis recipe is very good, but because of some of the ingredients, was too salty for us. Will make again, but will cut back on some of the ingredients. Thanks for the recipes and keep on doing what you do. Blessings from GA.

[@GloriaJackson-r4b]

Sorry, did not say which recipe I was speaking of. It's the "Pot Roast". Thanks again

[@cindylouwho9348]

I love the way Steven embraced the “common tater” persona! Having him more involved makes the video more fun!

[@beckyray6548]

I made the Texas pot roast in the slow cooker today. My picky 6 and 8 year olds LOVED IT!! My husband and I enjoyed it too, but it is so rare to find something that both kids will not only eat, but eat with gusto! Many thanks to Carol for the recipe. It will be worked into frequent rotation around here!

[@ericarandall2692]

Mmmmm! Carol’s Pot Roast is making my mouth water! I think the Taco Tortellini is also a great recipe to cut in half to serve two. I’m working on collecting recipes that are easy, inexpensive, and small to make a cookbook for my kids to give them when they move out. ❤

[@lennybuttz2162]

That seemed like a pretty small amount to me already. I would expect 2 people could eat that but if you served it with a salad you could probably get meals out of it. Maybe you don't like left overs?

[@anniefenter8697]

What a Nice idea!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

I agree! It is a fantastic idea!

[@kd5hzw]

thanks Mandy, Steven and Grace..

[@jeanniebell9493]

Steven is so spoiled !!! Thank you Mandy & Carol ! :)

[@shelbystoneking1220]

Y'all, my husband and I made the TACO TORTELLINI CASSEROLE for dinner tonight, and let me telllllllll you 😊 it was so good, my (almost) 4 yr old picky eater ate her whole plate! 😮 Her name is Valkyrie, and I hope y'all see this cuz she's a HUGE fan ❤ It isnt often my hubby looks up at the TV during my Mandy-a-thons... So when he does, and he says "man that looks good," you know we gotta make it! Thank you so much Mandy and family for all you do. We've been in such a what's for dinner rut lately, i don't know what id do without ya.

[@lemmylousmommy6616]

That pot roast looks fantastic! I never thought of using fajita seasoning, but I am for this weekend. Thank you Mandy and thank you Carol. Saying hi to you in the Hill Country from East Texas!

[@flashhughes1675]

I've been liking pasta with Mexican flavored foods lately. Never thought of using cheese tortellini. Thank you so much!

[@lauraragsdale4494]

My favorite meal to cook in instant pot is spaghetti. It’s easy, quick, family loves it and there is always leftovers for the next day.

[@jlee294]

Pot roast my favorite dinner of all. Grandma used to make it every Sunday for early dinner. And waffles for Sunday breakfast. Yummy! I can't wait to make it. I use my slow cooker and it turns out perfect. Can't wait to try with the new gravy ingredients. Thank you for sharing this and for helping me remember granny 👵❤

[@debbiereilly900]

You guy's are the Sweetest couple ever. Thank you for sharing Mandy and Steven have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Yummy on the chicken zucchini bake. 😋😋😋🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@phyllissherman8625]

Stick it in the freezer for a little while and,it'll make it easier tearless onion

[@Art930]

In addition to your always delicious recipes, I really like that you and Steven thank each other for your contribution to the family.

[@beezalbub7325]

When making planks from a zucchini or other similar vegetable if you lay them down and after cutting the first plank roll it onto the new flat side. This allows much greater control for cutting the rest of the planks and also greatly reduces the chance of cutting yourself😊

[@armanger6254]

I've been waiting all week! Thanks!

[@alicat433]

Mandy, we made the taco tortellini bake and it was delicious! I cooked it on the stove, just boiled the tortellini separately and omitted the broth, then broiled in the oven. My husband devoured it - there were no leftovers 😄 thanks for the great inspiration!

[@thebrodabode73]

Y'all. All I can say is yum and Carol I will be making your pot roast. We're up in north Texas so howdy. xoxTX

[@melodychristian974]

OMGOODNESS that pot roast NEEDS a big chunk of hot buttered cornbread, to help sop up some of that gravy!!! 😮

[@angelabeaty7588]

winner, winner in my house! instant pot taco tortellini casserole, yummy!!!

[@jackiemiller8174]

Mashed potatoes, I add a tablespoon on mayo and the potatoes are so creamy.

[@cherylynn927]

Leave an onion in your refrigerator so when you need to cut it up it will be cold. I have found this really reduces the tearing. Good luck! Great recipes, thanks so much! 😍

[@lennybuttz2162]

But they go soft in the fridge.

[@emily--m]

​​@@lennybuttz2162 Lenny, keep cutting your onions as you do without putting them in a frig. No chef cries when slicing, dicing, mincing onion. They certainly don't put them in a frig. Your eyes will adjust. I'm 60 and haven't teared or cried in years from onions. Don't put them in the fridge. Good luck.

[@cherylynn927]

@@lennybuttz2162 I put one in frig for a recipe and 1 or 2 hours dies not makes them soft.

[@mrs.2olvets717]

If you snip your herbs put them on a cookie sheet and let them dry on your car dashboard you will always have dried herbs. On a hot day in the car they will take about 3 hours. Bonus = your car will smell fantastic

[@lavernejones4471]

Hi Mandy. I’m in love with your new porch and those flowers are so pretty! I accidentally made a recipe very similar to your taco tortellini recipe. It was a one pot stove top recipe, but I didn’t have the pasta they used so I used tortellini. It was so good! I have noticed that more You Tubers are starting to have their husbands join in as taste testers. I’m sorry but Steven is the best. You guys genuinely seem to have fun together and Steven is naturally funny. He doesn’t have to try. 😁 Thanks for sharing as always.🤗💕

[@Rollergirl601]

We made the pot roast and the flavor was really good! However, for anyone concerned about the salt content you can easily adjust it. I didn’t add the celery salt or the truffle salt or any other additional salt. And I used water instead of beef broth. We still found it too salty near the end so I added an additional cup of water to it and it was perfect. We used the leftovers for beef sandwiches on onion buns topped with provolone cheese. Thank you for the great recipes!

[@dfarris8]

Mandy, I saw where you and Tator were just in W-S, NC, that's where I live. I watch your show all the time. I justvtried the Creamy Sausage Pasta, Tator Comonter said Amazing, I say OMG. It was awesome.

[@crawleyr4919]

I think I would lay the zucchini down and slice it in half first and then turn them on their side after you do a very thin slice on the side so it stays steady and then slice slice slice

[@70foolio]

I love fresh herbs but you can also dry instantly any fresh herbed in the microwave. Place leaves on a plate and in about a minute you have dried herbs.

[@artsoul-jeanstice5473]

I just went through a few recent videos trying to find the Instant Pot Taco Tortellini casserole recipe. 🤣 I saw it before and thought that sounded good but forgot to get the recipe, I was too entertained by you guys! You always perk up my day.

[@angelabrockman7816]

❤ Happy weekend to you all. 😃

[@melissabibby7310]

Thanks for sharing all dinners looked amazing!👍❤️🥰😋

[@arlenefreeman9477]

Cutting onions makes you cry well do this take two or three paper towels with them lay them on your cutting board when you're cutting an onion and it should help from not tearing up I've done it and trust me it works!

[@chelynngodfrey2185]

I can't get my herbs to grow.. yours are outta bounds!!

[@user-qg8qu6gg4s]

The "Common Tater" shirt. I love it!🤣🥔

[@jenlundell8844]

Try the damp papertowel on the corner of your cutting board when cutting onions, it works

[@palomahealing5073]

That's one of my favorite Supper meals.. Pot Roast! 😮

[@marycurley6038]

For you’re herb garden instead of cutting the piece you want to use pinch them between the leaves and they will grow better and fill out more

[@conniecrawford537]

That Pot Roast, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy looked so good 😋 You all are the best❤

[@Blue4decency]

Mandy, take a sharpie marker and make a mark on your instant pot directly below that little triangle on the lid is - hard to explain but I had a hard time with my lid also till my husband helped me with this.

[@kimsandifer8466]

They all looked delicious but the roast looks and sound delicious

[@michellehorning2216]

Amazing video! Everything showed comfort and delicious! I love these recipes and am looking forward to trying them. Gracie-Lou is so sweet and bacon is such an awesome treat! Steven and you are such a dynamic duo, bless you guys! Have a great weekend!😊❤

Use the tomato/chicken bouillon powder into rice for Mexican rice very good

[@kellypage8232]

I love that you thanked each other. Inspiring relationship !!!

[@stephaniehobbs414]

Love your videos thought of you tonight when i made your greenbeans so good, im gonna try the roast this week!!!! much love from eastern NC

[@terebrown2892]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Btw, with a little practice you can actually make zucchini "ribbons" with your vegetable peeler, they'll come out much thinner than sliced, maybe to thin but then you could later them up.

[@deborahmower8539]

How does Steven manage to stay so clean after yardwork? Mine always looks like he just dug himself out of a mineshaft.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol 🤣 he took a shower!

We did the creamy garlic pork chops last weekend and saved the leftovers. We made biscuits the next morning and had biscuits and Garvey with thin slices of pork chop in them! It was so much better the next day! Try it-sounds weird but it’s so good!!!!!

[@laurenfleming514]

All the recipes looked sooo yummy and simple for weeknights. I’m looking forward to trying the zucchini bake. That will be a great idea at to use some of the zucchinis in my garden this summer and veggies in my family. 😊

Made the chicken zucchini bake and it was amazing my family loved it simple and light perfect for summer thanks again .

[@annielumm7370]

Gracie is saying bacon makes everything better since I missed the cheese lol. I need to get my insta pot bck daughter ran off with it lol

[@LLJerseyGirl]

I love that the Catalina Crunch cookies are vegan (Oreos are accidentally vegan too, but not very healthy)! Steven and you are just adorable (I probably say that too much). He reminds me of my sweet BF that we lost to depression at the end of December…he would get so happy when I cooked and then when eating. I do love the peacefulness of your videos. ♥️

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔

[@sherylhaglin853]

All the recipes look great. I’m glad you’re eating out in the porch! I’m jealous. Too hot and buggy here.

[@chuckmortensen6327]

In case you want to know why onions hurt your eyes. When you cut onions, they release a sulfur compound that converts to sulfuric acid when it hits the moisture in your eyes. That is temporary but painful. The goggles is the way to go.

[@dianapowell3140]

My husband would be in the kitchen the minute i started cooking bacon. I would cook the entire package even if not needed since he would eat several pieces. He isn't with us now but i still cook the entire pkg and refrigerate the leftovers for later in the week.

[@kimmartin529]

That taco tortellini casserole will be perfect to fix when the grandkids come over. Thanks for Sharing!

[@stephanie2]

Awesome video. They all look so delicious. I'm definitely going have to try the roast

[@AngieGryszan-gw9gz]

Hey Mandy🤗 for future use, you can use your peeler to slice zucchini length wise without the awkward feeling of doing it with a knife. Also that Taco tortellini looks amazing !

[@bun04y]

you can also use a mandolin slicer.

[@pamreneick464]

Good idea

[@kathyhelmold7358]

Delicious looking roast, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy!!

[@EasyPeasyFood]

Use the claws facing away from each other ) (. Stab and pull apart. They work so much better like that

[@LindaLou-oh6qz]

Wow Mandy! I can smell that roast.

[@alexandriarose8886]

Im not a fan of heavy whippig cream myself, but i get an incredible creamy mashed potatoes by adding sour cream. It makes my mashed potatoes taste like an inside of a baked potato.

[@pamreneick464]

[@grammyb5216]

You WILL NOT CRY IF, you store your onions in the fridge!😊

[@lennybuttz2162]

But your onions will go bad faster.

[@emily--m]

​@@lennybuttz2162 Exactly. No chef cries when cooking with onions. When you cook a lot with onions you do not cry anymore. 🥰

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@@emily--m When I was cooking with Onions every few days,it didn't bother me.

[@lennybuttz2162]

@@emily--m LOL I can't even tell you how many days I cut up at least 50 pounds of onions. I shed some tears but I adjusted by cutting really fast. haha

[@kayhansel6443]

Put your onion in the freezer for 30 minutes before chopping/dicing and you will not cry.

[@Estranged180]

I know this is a year later, but I bring to you another tip. This time, it's for mashed potatoes. Get you a "ricer". Amazon knows what it is. Run your cooked potatoes through one of those. It'll look like spaghetti on the other end. Add your butter, cream, salt, pepper, and whatever else you'd like (garlic paste is a good option), and stir. No mashing necessary. They'll come together as smooth as silk, like you'd find in a restaurant.

[@crawleyr4919]

Lol ! You so remind me of me!!! I just baked a cake and completely forgot the eggs!

[@kristinbray6453]

Hi Mandy and Tater! I was watching Instagram reels and a gentleman was making a recipe using “the Dub” sauce. He called it Watch Your Sister sauce! 🤣🤣

[@mnichols180]

I hear that from time to time here and don't know the background of calling it "the dub" sauce. Do tell :) Thx :)

[@djpeach3538]

Oh no!….Fresh herbs are much stronger than dried, especially oregano, rosemary and mint!…Use both sparingly in their fresh form unless the recipe calls specifically for fresh oregano, rosemary or mint!… Love your families videos!…

[@lisaallen4475]

3 teaspoons of fresh herbs equal 1 teaspoon of dried. 😎

[@djpeach3538]

In most cases that’s the standard, however with strong (fresh picked) herbs such as oregano, rosemary and mint less is more!
