[@MandyintheMaking]

Okay, first of all. I'm stopping to pray for you right this very second. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Please know there are people you've never even met (me and other subbies who see this comment) praying for you and sending your our love. ❤️ Let's flood her with love, y'all.

[@donnaswain9623]

Mandy,I have been a subscriber for a while now, but I’ve never written to you...but I do enjoy your videos!! I just had to write you about the Strawberry Pie you made. It looks luscious, but our favorite strawberry dessert is a Strawberry Poke Cake (& I will bet that Steven & Cole would like it too!). I’m sure you’ve seen this dessert many times on Pinterest, but you start out by baking a yellow cake in a 9” x 12” pan; while the cake is baking, you make up a large package of Strawberry Jello, but I put a little less water than the Jello calls for...I get the Jello stirred up & as soon as the cake comes out of the oven, I poke holes all over the cake, then immediately pour the still-warm Jello over the cake making sure to cover the whole cake with the Jello. I cover the cake & put it in the fridge until the Jello sets up. While that happens, I chop up some fresh picked strawberries, add sugar to taste...after the chopped strawberries have rendered their juice, just put them in the fridge until the cake is finished jelling. After dinner, pull the cake, the chopped strawberries & a large container of Cool Whip from the fridge...put most of the strawberry juice into a separate bowl & mix the rest into most of the Cool Whip using a hand mixer, or whatever you have. Now, frost the cake with the Cool Whip mixture & if I have any whole berries left over, I usually cut them in quarters & sprinkle over the cake. Then cut & serve. If you take the rest of the Cool Whip (or you can make your own whipped cream) & mix the juice you have left over from the chopped berries you used in the frosting of the cake, it will taste very much like a strawberry mousse. Now this Strawberry Poke Cake is about one of the lightest & most refreshing cakes that I’ve ever had...& my family agrees!!! Sorry that I’ve been so wordy...I didn’t mean to take up so much of your time reading my post, but when I saw your Strawberry Pie, I knew I had to tell you about one of my family’s favorite cakes. Thank you for all your entertaining videos...& I just love your little “bloopers” you sometimes add at the end. God bless you, Steven & Cole...I am fond of you all!!!

Marvette - your french onion chicken is amazing. I took a chance making thos for the family because my kids dont like onions but I cook with them anyway and make them pick em out. Even my kids loved this (picking the fresh onions out). As with classic french onion soup, I had some provolone cheese I added to the top with the fried onions. Soooo good. Thank you. And Mandy - since watching your videos, you jave given me so much inspiration to start making delicious meal plans, which the whole family is loving and so is my bank account. I use grocery pickup each week and i cant imagine doing it any other way now.

Use very cold butter cut in cubes half stick, and 2 tsp ice water instead of vegetable oil and milk. This should help keep it from falling apart

I was going to give the same advice but I use refrigerated Crisco shortening instead of butter. And definitely ice water.

Mandy, if you were to take small flour tortillas, you can spread refried beans on it , then wrap the soft shell around the hard shell, you will be able to eat the hard taco and the soft shell will hold it together. Just saying.

So easy and so delicious. Your dinners this week all look good.

Hi, Mandy! My grandma made a strawberry pie that appears to be much this recipe. I’ve nvr known what her recipe was and my mom didn’t have i either. I haven’t had a strawberry pie like hers since we lost her. I’m so anxious to try this to see if it’s similar enough to her recipe. Ofc, my tastebuds may have also built up her recipe in my mind to where nothing will ever match up lol, but I’m gonna give this a go.
