[@sprinklesterling]

Girl don't be so hard on yourself! Who cares if not every clip is perfect, all youtubers started somewhere. Also I LOVE that all your recipes arent healthy. I love good southern homestyle cooking and I love your channel is that and not gluten free, dairy free vegan recipes. Also a tip are you adding a couple ads to your videos? I would hate for you to not make the money off these videos you deserve!

[@SwissMissss]

I was JUST about to comment this! Shes so great and doesnt even give herself the credit she deserves! Nothing is perfect in life anyways, and I love her channel because it shows how stuff REALLY goes 🤗

[@sharoncummins2907]

I didn’t mean to tap the thumbs down. Sorry!

[@kaceywilson2164]

Yes I like how her videos r more dwn to earth than in a fake fancy kitchen n foods alot of ppl can relate to🙂

[@lemoncrinckles]

@@sharoncummins2907 Hi, Sharon. If you didn't already do so, you can "undo" your thumbs down by clicking on it again. It will turn from blue to grey. (:

That quesadilla plate looked tasty! Crispy cheese, yummy beef, and sour cream is so good!

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

The potato soup and cornbread looks so delicious

[@shanwith8]

Make cornbread as mini Muffins!! Serve with soft butter!!! Yum! I also make Jiffy cornbread pancakes and that helped my kids get introduced to cornbread.

[@coffeefueledteacher2347]

Hello! I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your videos! I use to do KZbin and I just couldn't find the right content that I liked to make. After finding your videos I have started sharing my own dinner recipes and I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me! Thank you for sharing your dinner recipes!

[@KristinStepp]

Rachel Marie Aw thank you!! & good luck girl, that’s so exciting. 💕

[@denisemoreno4050]

I tried your tater tot casserole, and my family fell so in love with it, now it's part of our monthly meals!!!! I love your style cooking and will continue to try out all your recipes!!!! Keep it up!!!

[@yomeamo3886]

You definitely gave me an idea!! I’m going to try the tater tot casserole with hormel no bean chili instead of bacon. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@cathyzsebik6736]

Thank you so much for your videos. Mad I didn't find you sooner. Love your ideas, you are real and down to earth. Love you show going out to eat and your family. Keep up the great work!

Kristin Stepp for president 2020

[@wynnryder77]

That second meal is one of my favs! I make it at least once a month. I love the leftovers too.

[@juzanne]

Hi there, I thank God SO MUCH for your channel!!! We are a family of 6 and now that our little ones are getting bigger (6yo, 4yo, and 1yo twins) they actually have a bigger appetite that it's getting hard for me to keep up lol. Thanks so much for sharing all of your meal plans. You are sooooo helpful to me because I'm not the greatest cook but your tutorials make it so easy for me to follow especially since I'm a visual learner. Your meals look so yummy and your presentation for each meal is simply beautiful! Another thing is that I get so blocked thinking of what to cook and I have been desperately trying to switch things up and then i found your channel! Again thanks so much for sharing and my family is going to be so blessed with great meals because of your help to me. I'm on my way to becoming a much better cook. God's blessings to you and your wonderful family. Hugs from Memphis.

[@pennyyeatts3883]

I love the way you made those quesadillas. Mine always take longer.

[@LaneyDanae]

Wow! What an awesome week of meals!!! Everything looked scrumptious!

[@KristinStepp]

LaneyDanae thank you!

[@michellemiller9647]

Don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t apologize or feel like you have to explain yourself... you are awesome and haters gonna hate... you just keep doing you! You are awesome!

[@KristinStepp]

Michelle Miller thank you so much!!

[@frog4886]

I add hot dogs and cheese to the cornbread batter. We top it with ketchup, mustard and jalapeños (which can be added to the batter also if everyone enjoys them).

[@Marlina66]

YAY! You saved my butt, AGAIN, for dinner. Working from home is not always a walk in the park. By the end of the day, my brain is fried. Thank for saving my brain so that I don't have to think about what I'm gonna make for dinner. You're hilarious and I love your down-to-earth kitchen. Please don't change a thing. Thanks for sharing!

[@gena6808]

Here's my go to for taco seasoning...(works for chili also).....For 2 pounds of ground meat...... 2 TBS chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp salt 1 tsp paprika and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes of course if you're only making one pound of meat just cut the measurements in half.....My family tells me it tastes just like our local Mexican restaurant's tacos.....Love your videos and great ideas for meals.

[@KristinStepp]

Gena Poss thank you!

[@supersecret34]

YOU ARE OUR COOKING QUEEN 🤣 we don’t want healthy meals we want good southern cooking and we’d expect nothing less from you. Don’t be hard on yourself 💜

[@KristinStepp]

kay nine 😂❤️

[@leighsutherland6222]

Very new things for me. I have never heard of steak parm, only chicken, nor ground beef quesadillas. Thanks for the ideas.

[@beautystar165]

I'm obsessed with your videos. Hope you make another one soon!

[@tuner9224]

I look forward to your videos! I watch at least one before I go to bed. I love that you show the real life of making a meal.

[@KristinStepp]

Victoria Rutledge thank you so much! ❤️

[@tayelmore]

Girl nobody in my house likes cornbread either 😭 That steak parmesan looks so good! I've done pork parmesan before and it was delicious!

[@KristinStepp]

Taylor Elmore what’s wrong with these cornbread haters?! Haha. & I remember when you did those, I soooo need to try that.

[@sleepygirll]

Kristin Stepp same problem here too! I still make it anyway and it all myself 😂😂😂

I just made your potato soup! Omg.... so dang good! Best potato soup I’ve had. I added the pre cooked & pre cubed ham to it and of course topped with bacon 😍 so so good! So easy!

[@denedene5451]

We all deserve to treat ourselves sometimes and eat food comfort meals.....such hard times rn... stay safe everyone

[@ashleya1997]

Hi Kristin, I hope everything is well. Your videos always make me hungry! Thank you for the ideas.

[@BritAnderson]

Recommendation: Try some ground sausage in your potato soup. Adds a whole other level of flavor to it. Also 👋, fellow Kentuckian, how you and your family are staying safe and healthy! Love your content. ❤

[@KristinStepp]

PatricksMom86 that’s a great idea! & thank you so much, I hope you & your family stay safe. ❤️

[@terrigaines1812]

Hey yall, I'm a Kentuckian too!!

[@patriciahooley3355]

When I do the hotdish I do not use a crockpot. I use a 9x13 baking dish. I also use ground beef, corn, greenbeans, cream of mushroom and cream of chicken and a little milk top with cheese when almost done.

[@beckyhines3814]

Girl you got my attention on all these recipes! These are all some of my favorites! I seen nothing wrong with any of your video. I say the same thing restaurants don't put enough sauce on their pasta. More cheese and sauce the better! Yum! Thanks for the ideas. ❤

[@johnhoffpauir743]

Trick with salt n pepper shaker. Pepper shaker upsidedown now rub the bottom of salt shaker on bottom of pepper shaker. That what the groves on the bottom are for😁

[@chitownroyalty20]

That's the only shredded quesadilla cheese I buy now. I love it. Flavor and texture. If ur a cheese lover. Great for Spanish dishes. Tacos, sopas, especially burritos

[@1whocs486]

That cubed steak looked so good

[@mandalyn444]

Oh my! That steak parm dinner looks amazing! Going to have to do that one. I still have never had tater tot casserole but since you cooked yours in the crockpot I think I will try it also. Thank you for great ideas!

[@stickysyrup_]

Your dads food omg reminds me of my grannys cooking lol i feel so comforted just looking at it❤️

[@Livingwithangela116]

Glad you are back! Great video...will try potato soup...need some comfort in my life!🙃

[@KristinStepp]

Angela Dorsey thank you!

[@Ladygr3mlin]

When I make my own taco seasoning I use salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and paprika. You can add cayenne if you like a little heat

[@terrigaines1812]

Measurements?

[@Whatsthedeal106]

Walmart has the taco seasoning packets for like .49 and I want to say Aldis has them for sightly cheaper! I always pick up a bunch at a time to have on hand.

[@amyprice3716]

I use kielbasa sausage in my potato soup. It's sooo good

[@yoashleydawn]

in my opinion, homemade is always best! people can brag about being healthy, but half those people are running and picking up ready made salads, etc. nothing compares to a tater tot casserole and if someone says otherwise, we can't be friends

[@mlabsmash7451]

You are so funny I love it. I just stumbled on your channel and I’m impressed. I love your dinner ideas especially during this stay at home COVID situation. I was running out of things to cook and my kids are getting tired of home cooked meals lol. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@michellelee9483]

Your freaking commentary is my favorite!

[@susanberry3676]

Oh golly gosh .. All those recipes look delicious ! Thank you for sharing

[@jessj9779]

Cumin in the taco seasoning is a must!! Put tons of it in my recipe every time.

[@Wonderwomanstarlight]

Add smoked paprika to your homemade seasoning. I don’t use black pepper in my seasoning. Garlic cumin, smoked paprika, chili pepper, salt. Kentuckian here too.

[@wilmascott8296]

Love your video I cant wait to try two of them

[@KristinStepp]

Wilma Scott thank you!

[@wilmascott8296]

Ur welcome

[@rebekaharredondo8003]

I love cornbread with grape jelly on it. I don't know WHY, but it's so good! Great video! I need to try the steak parm next!

[@elizabethshaw734]

I almost always remember all of your recipes but mentioning time and temp would be really helpful! :-)

[@Thatswhatshesaid1997]

I made the potato soup and the only thing I added extra was tastefully simple onion onion seasoning and omg!! So easy and it was amazing!!

[@samanthasmall8795]

It seems foolish but The way you cooked the quesadillas in the pan blew my mind lol I’ve never seen that before and I immediately hit subscribe. Lol

[@kimmie0121]

Can’t get enough of your videos!! Such great meal ideas!

[@KristinStepp]

Kim Chinchilla thank you!

[@HaleyPrettyEyes100]

The BEST taco seasoning recipe(taste just like Taco Bell!) PS I love your videos ; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes (Also known as ((Dried)) chopped onion) 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules(I use a little Beef broth whichever you have) 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon chili powder 1⁄2 teaspoon onion salt(I just mixed onion powder & salt) 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1⁄4 teaspoon granulated sugar

[@sarahtait3973]

Ooooo!! So Tater Tot Casserole is one of my favorite meals, my mom always makes it for me! We use ground beef, never thought about using chicken! Definitely will have to give that a shot! We also do ours in the oven. Do you find it easier cooking it this way?? This made me so happy 😂 some people don’t know what it is and girlllllll it’s amazing.

[@jdrod4754]

I would definitely try Meals out for dinner thanks for sharing

[@kristygraboski1281]

Everything looked so good! I would never think to do cube steak like that!

[@ImOnyxRS]

Most taco seasoning packets will have some MSG in them. That's why you like them better. Despite the bad press, it's not really any worse for you than salt is. Buy a bag and just put a tiny bit into your seasoning blend, makes all the difference.

[@Maria-wz5jj]

Yay!! Missed your vids. Keeping us entertained during this quarantine time.

[@KristinStepp]

[@dsmyth9940]

If I use cube steak I beat it up a bit first, it comes out tender after a few smacks

[@salfromtheval_xx7]

Just came across this video I found it great for inspiration :) also I happen to have had the same problem with the taco seasoning once and heres a copycat packet recipe its my fave: 5 tsp paprika (i think this is mostly what that recognizable flavor is) 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1 1/4 tsp cumin 1 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp oregano 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp corn starch I recommend using decent brand like McCormick for paprika and chili powder at least

[@abbymartinez6659]

Definitely making the potato soup
