[@stephanieladd2702]

I also don't like onions so it is so amazing to finally find a person posting videos that don't include onion in everything! Thank you!

[@Chlopez000]

There’s this chili dip I make I think you’d love! It’s so eazsy! Spread cream cheese at the bottom of a casserole dish, put hormel chili on top then sprinkle cheese! Put it in the oven until it bubbles! Eat it with tortilla chips. SO GOOD.

[@KristinStepp]

My husband would loveeee that! Sounds so good.

[@cynrok]

i know some people who make that too. it sounds delicious but canned chili always has that weird-textured meat...i might try it sometime with homemade chili!

[@caridemoranville6306]

My go to party app!

[@raelenekelly8306]

My best friend in high school always made this for gatherings and it is SO good!!

[@sarahlarson1082]

We love this dip too!

[@carollandrum9223]

Kroger also has a Cinnamon Honey Butter like the garlic butter. It's really good on toasted bagels and hot biscuits.

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I’m always amazed at how great you are at voiceovers.

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you, I always wish to myself I could do it better so I needed to hear that. 💜

[@Strawberryfan123]

For those who aren't a fan of feta (like myself) It's really good with the different flavors of the Boursin cheese (I'm partial to the garlic and herb) if you prefer that

[@KaylasPlants]

Omg I’m obsessed with that cheese!!! What a good idea!

[@malkay05]

For the viral feta pasta … try it with Boursin cheese Instead . So good

[@eruedy]

The tik tok pasta has become a huge favorite of ours for a while now. I get the tomato basil feta block from Aldi (it’s delicious) and I season the tomatoes/feta dish with lots of Italian seasoning and badia complete before baking. So yummy! Thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@cassidylopez671]

Corn pudding was a staple on holidays for us growing up !!! Never would have thought to put cheese for some reason… genius !

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I have started making that corn casserole dish every Thanksgiving. It is my son-in-laws favorite thing on my table! 😋

[@BarbaraU]

This was an especially tasty what's for dinner! Loved all of them. Thanks for all the awesome ideas you give us.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!

[@emiboot8153]

Green chilis added to the corn pudding is delicious too for a variation. I love that your meals are so family friendly and doable.

[@kelseyhowell7092]

Definitely gonna make that sausage, potato, green bean bake asap! My family hasn't bought sausage in a long time. I appreciate the videos! ❤

[@KristinStepp]

❤️❤️

[@Soundcloudcommollybarnett]

Hey Kristin! I love your channel! You make great food! I've now made the Feta cheese pasta 2 times now and the sausage greenbean potato recipes too many times to count, my guys love it! Thanks for sharing all you do because I've made many of your recipes and they've all been great! Blessings from Texas- Molly Barnett

[@ambersteven8682]

We call it corn pudding. I make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I use bisquick and add sugar. I’ll have to try it with the cornbread mix.

[@CookCleanAndRepeat]

Yummy! I am totally with you on not loving cherry tomatoes, but I love them roasted too! I love feta too. But I've heard people using cream cheese that don't love feta in that dish!

[@shellyfisk9563]

Love the video! We make corn casserole all the time and it just always makes such a good side dish! Next time, instead of the jiffy mix, Walmart has a Mexican style cornbread mix that we use and it adds so much flavor but isn’t really spicy so the kiddos still eat it 🤤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! That sounds so good, I have to try! 😍

[@NathanElena]

One thing I haven't seen that I made in home ed at school is a version of grill cheese ...2 slices of bread with cheese on and bacon pieces. .my kids love it

[@bonniepwtf]

So many great recipes here & they don't break the bank. I so enjoy your honesty & keeping it real on here. You are a treasure💟

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Yessss a new What's for Dinner by my friend Kristin. These are the videos that hooked me to your channel.

[@KristinStepp]

❤️❤️❤️

[@raeanna0]

i seriously cook something from ur videos every single week most weeks multiple things 😭😭tysm for these!!

[@vickiesdouns6093]

Great dishes,, for the chicken, use pork rind crumbs..yummy!

[@samanthajones9884]

Yess I love celery and carrots with spicy chicken wings. Its the best! Lol glad I'm not the only one.

[@gailbishop2119]

Oh my gonna get me some of those pork cube steaks for sure. Thank you sweet lady for all he great ideas you give all of us. We all appreciate you. Tell Austin great job an keep on cooking.

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you! His name is Boston, but I know what you meant ☺️💙

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

I call it corn pudding. I make this for most Thanksgiving meals. I live in Washington state now but I am from the South. Kind of funny but corn pudding was 1 of the interview questions for my secretary position after moving to Washington state. He asked me if I knew how to make corn pudding. The guy interviewing me was from California but was stationed in Virginia for a short time years ago & another military guy invited him to Thanksgiving & he ate corn pudding for first time & loved it.

[@irenatheginger2491]

Creamed corn is good in both corn chowder and Sheppard's pie. We'll also use it in other recpies, I try to keep a small flat of both regular canned corn and cream style corn on hand, plus a few other canned veggies in general. Awesome ideas for sure!

[@MaegensKitchen]

I haven’t made Goulash in forever, I need to put it on the meal plan. The bbq chicken looks so good! Thanks for sharing these yummy meals!

[@rossinc28]

These are just the easy recipes I’m looking for to serve my family this week! We have lots of family in town and I don’t want to stress before Xmas.

[@margiecorzantes7691]

I love watching all of your videos! Not ashamed to say I’ve watched more than a few more than once 😊

[@tammiehaws9354]

Hi Mandy have you ever tried the chicken breast with barbecue sauce and cranberry sauce??? Truly that's it you don't add anything else it's very delicious and then you add your favorite sides. Mix the cranberry sauce and barbecue sauce and a 9x13 pan at 3:00 to 4 chicken breast cook at 350° for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until it falls apart that's it. This is my quick and easy chicken recipe.

[@melaniepellerine6141]

I hope you and your family are okay! My heart goes out to you all in Kentucky!

[@KristinStepp]

We are it didn’t affect our town thankfully, thank you! 💙

[@virtuousbudgets2737]

That sausage, potato, & green bean bake looks soo good!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@sarahglover4366]

My mama used to make gulosh and serve it with creamed mashed potatoes and sweet cornbread

[@TheLuvliiSmyle]

I love the cherry cheesecake no bake!! My favorite - hmm maybe I need to try the strawberry 🍓 Anyway yummy meal ideas as always! ❤️

[@budgetmama8934]

I use those pork cutlets for my country fried steak add some mashed potatoes and gravy 😋 and we call it corn pudding here in Mississippi

[@DevinMyLuv1]

OMG!! There is NOT one meal in this video I don't want to try. They all look DEEE-LICIOUS!! I especially gotta try the pork chop sandwich and I never made my own corn bread Pudding. So really can't wait to try that one. Seriously. And I will make it worth ur sausage bake. It just looked bangin!! But again, they ALL DID..Lol!! Way to GO!! Thx loads for sharing. Arlene

[@cindakellogg1307]

I make the pork sandwiches often. I just love them. The price is right, too! Take care...

[@kylieburton1970]

Firstly hope your family is safe and well! That last meal!!! Its on the dinner roster now for sure! Thank you and happy holidays!

[@karryroerish]

That corn casserole looks like Paula Dean's recipe i made for Thanksgiving. I refuse to eat corn bread so I didnt have any but my hubby said it was really good!

[@danibondarenko565]

Another great sauce for those chicken bites if you like a little kick is 1/3 cup of franks, 1 and 1/3 cup of brown sugar, and a tbsp of water. Sweet but kind of tangy with a bite. Super yummy! Sometimes I even put it on Tyson chicken strips to make it extra simple haha

[@jamiecee4960]

Gholash is a family favorite. My mom would use tomato juice. I personally love the canned tomatoes in it. Looked really good. I've heard of chicken rolled in corn flakes. Haven't tried it yet. I've made something similar to that corn casserole. That looked yummy.

[@tammifields4142]

A whole video of Deliciousness 😋😋 Thanks Kristen, Happy Holidays!🎄☃️🎄

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you, happy holidays to you! 💜

[@kailasanders6661]

You always explain what you’re doing so well and thought out! Love it girl!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Everything looks delicious! We call fried cube steaks chicken fried steaks here in Texas. I guess even pork ones. They’re one of my favorites and heavenly with cream gray. 😊❤ (Corn casserole 😊)

[@hotmama298]

Everything looks so good. Hope everything is well over your way, with the storms.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! Yes we are safe, I appreciate you checking in. ❤️

[@PassportMeetsParadise]

Watching all cozy in my blanket yay!!

[@KristinStepp]

The best 🙌🏻

[@Chrysanthemum1208]

I’m glad I found your channel! So cozy and cute!

[@akgram6599]

We do a similar hot dish recipe as the first dish you did but add green pepper and onion to the burger to saute and a can of small red beans drained and rinsed and instead of tomato sauce a 12 oz can of V8. The kids love it and is better the next night just add a little water to reheat.

[@sherryrenteria3818]

Hope you and your family are safe🙏🏻

[@becki_booo]

When I'm doing breaded chicken bites I always end up making way too many. So I'll usually put them on a baking sheet and put the whole baking sheet in the freezer overnight til they are frozen solid. Then I'll throw em in a ziplock bag and then I have homemade frozen chicken bites at the ready. It's way cheaper too then buying the frozen premade chicken bites.

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Love this video, it's always nice to have a little helper in the kitchen 😊😊 thank you for sharing another amazing video 😊❤hv a wonderful day everybody 💚🤗💜

[@jenniferpierson4723]

That last meal looked amazing! I’m definitely going to try that. I bake green beans in Italian dressing and black pepper. They turn out so delicious. I’ll bet that this recipe could be adapted to using Italian dressing.

[@kristyb5821]

I make my green beans with the steamable frozen ones, 2 tablespoons of butter, a pack of the zesty Italian dry dressing mix and some black pepper and it’s the only way my hubby will eat them. I’m going to try your way. How much Italian dressing do you use? What temp do you bake them at? Do you use canned, frozen or fresh green beans?

[@theathrun7315]

This reminded me my instant pot is for more than just dry beans and brown rice 😂. I love your videos so much you inspired me to start my own WFD videos! Been going for almost a year now!

[@mamachicken1548]

Mmmmm!! Loved all of your yummy recipes!! I've made the cornbread casserole many times. I like to make it a bit dryer nowadays and I make it in a 8x8 square pan.

[@MckenziLakyn]

Yes! Corn casserole is my FAVORITE! So so yummy

[@mom4life513]

Yes!! I've been waiting for a video. Love the recipes. U should make a cookbook. I would totally buy it!!

[@atlanticalilly]

Anything you use an Emerson blender with needs to be in a deep pan or dish bc it does spray as it blends. Everything on here looks amazing, I'm going to try some of these. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

Every single recipe looks delicious!! 😍😍🤤🤤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! 💜

[@HeatherB81]

I want to make every single one of these recipes!! Yum!!

[@victoriamunoz3420]

Yum I’ve been wanting to try that corn casserole and the chicken instead of dipping it in egg mixture I do butter then cereal I like the way it taste!! All looked good!!

[@weenasworld908]

Great video. Walmart sells that butter as well. I buy 4 at a time and the Honey Cinnamon butter just like Texas Roadhouse. At my Walmart it’s by the cream cheese and regular butter.

[@lindagoodman5333]

I love the tomatoes and feta, I add shrimp to mine with the pasta

[@sarahlarson1082]

We have the corn casserole for holidays but without the cheese.

[@tinapennington1587]

I’m so glad you are back making videos!

[@SweetRee2027]

This looks so good. I love goulash and the honey bbq chicken is a must. Thanks for sharing.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@ameliasarno1210]

I make that corn casserole all the time its fabulous!!

[@beckystokes9061]

That cornbread pudding/casserole looked so good. I am going to have to try that one, and add a little bit of sugar to it like you said. Great meal ideas!

[@agirly1503]

Lovely! I always try to cook 2 things like you did in the last one if I'm turning on the oven 😀

[@boogieasmr6835]

Everythings looks so delicious! I love to put your videos on while im studying and since I have finals this week they have been on repeat :) excited to see some yummy christmas goodies soon and wishing you and your family happy holidays!

[@jeannettesparr9179]

I made the goulash but I despise Worcestershire sauce so I just doubled the onion. It was delicious!!

[@akgram6599]

We did a Boursin garlic and fine harb cheese instead of feta and it was great.

[@storm618n8]

I love your videos and the easy meal ideas I get, including lunches. I struggle with what to take to work, so thank you! I tried the private selection garlic butter after your recommendation and it’s so yummy.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

That pork sandwich looked amazing!

[@lashawnpilot1006]

Your video's are so helpful. Keep blessing us.

[@Savanna.Melvin.]

I’ve been seeing all of the devastation from the tornadoes in Kentucky lately. Hopefully that didn’t affect you guys. I hope you and your family are safe! Merry Christmas! 🎃

[@KristinStepp]

It didn’t affect us luckily, thank you for checking in!! Merry Christmas to you & your family! ❤️❤️❤️

[@stillsimplystephanie]

I'm always late to the trends, I've seen the feta pasta but I don't think I'd like it. Everything else looks delicious, especially that honey BBQ chicken and the corn casserole. I love goulash in the Instant Pot and it's so easy!

[@beckyhines3814]

Everything looks so good. I'm not a fan of creamed corn. I think there's a can of it on my pantry that I think my roommate got by mistake. I know I'm going to be making the goulash. Hope your having a good week.🎄

[@FriendsFamilyKitchen]

The way you cooked is just amazing, the nice good looking recipe made me Hungry. this recipe looks so delicious and healthy and you prepared and explained it very simple and clearly💖💖💖 Fully watched your recipe 👍👍👏🙌👌 🤝🥰♥️♥️ Big like. Joined your kitchen.

[@mcg267]

Land O Lakes makes a garlic herb butter (I get it at Walmart) that I think is amazing. Could add some parm if you wanted.

[@FeenasFixins]

They all look delish!

[@courtneybashamfranklin9193]

Everything looked so yummy! Thanks for sharing!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@CarolgTX]

Hi Kristen! Great dinner ideas! Going to give these a try. With the crescent rolls, have you ever tried brushing the garlic butter on the inside before you roll them? I wonder if it would affect how they puff up.

[@storm618n8]

Another KZbinr I watch smears butter and sprinkles with garlic salt inside before rolling. Doesn’t seem to cause any issues. I thought it was a great idea 🙂

[@thewhat4]

Another home run...i dont like cream corn but u made me want to try the last recipe

[@crazierthanyomama]

Thinking about you after hearing about the tornadoes. I hope you and your family are ok!! 🥺

[@KristinStepp]

Aw I appreciate that! We are, it didn’t hit my town. ❤️

[@jackieschiller40]

Love all of your videos. Those pork sandwiches look delicious.

[@toadflaxfarm3032]

Kristin, hope you and your family are safe and well. 💕🙏

[@KristinStepp]

We are, thank you!!

[@HeatherTerry84]

That pasta looks absolutely amazing. I don’t love feta to the depth of having that much of it, but I wonder if I could substitute a large ball or 2 of fresh mozzarella or even burrata in place of the feta 🤔 I love tomatoes in every form and raw or cooked but the cherry/grape tomatoes when roasted are out of this world delicious. One of my favorite things to eat is just a huge bowl of roasted veggies (cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, onion, garlic cloves, asparagus. Sometimes I’ll add potatoes to it as well but just those roasted veggies over some rice is soooo good

[@KristinStepp]

I saw where someone tried mozzarella and said it was tough like rubber, maybe they didn’t use fresh though! I’ve never had burrata. Roasted veggies really are so good! I love the idea of making a meal out of it over some rice. 😍

[@chelsealaird8604]

Your dinners are my fav’s ❤️

[@CathieG]

Yay I’ve been looking for a good goulash recipe! 🤩🥳🥰

[@carolinev2000]

Yayy I’ve been waiting for a new one of these! I LOVE your videos 💞

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@kristalcuthill1338]

I wonder if the feta cheese pasta would also be good with a block of cream cheese, for those who don't like feta?

[@loveforAppalachia]

I don't know if those storms were close to y'all but I just wanted to check in and make sure y'all are alright!

[@KristinStepp]

It didn’t affect our town thankfully, thank you for checking in!!
