She is perfect. Leave her alone. I could to listen to her voice for ever

[@abimollentze7221]

no one is perfect, and her recipes are not groundbreaking so

[@stephged67]

I requested a FULL sheet pan for Christmas a few years ago. Perfect for sheet pan meals. Useful for other things too. I’m going to add the goulash to my meal plan for next week.

[@mizzwallace1016]

I've never heard of serving salmon patties with beans. Here in Indiana we eat the beans with fried potatoes and corn bread.

[@amycampbell8142]

I made your beef tips for supper last night. My family loved them. I never thought I would be able to cook something like this on top of the stove. It's absolutely worth the wait ❤. I will be making this one again. Thank you!

[@murphy81775]

I grew up in Kentucky and didn't know much about seafood, either, until I moved to the East Coast at age 20. If you have a chance to eat seafood somewhere that's known for it, you may find that you enjoy it. That's what happened to me. :)

[@tinashort9098]

I just made my son some salmon patties and i used those little packs. So nice!! Didnt have to pick out bones!!! I don't like them but I'll definitely cook them!! My sweet husband loved them! He passed away 3 yrs ago and one of the things i miss is cooking for him❤

[@marywalker1394]

Awe bless your heart 🙏🏾❤️

[@uncleleo1873]

Thank you for another treat! Hope the little ones hit the candy jackpot!

[@christeenprice5637]

Girl you got me thinking about bean, cooking some tomorrow 🥰

[@Memaw-0404]

Hey Kristen! I just picked up my phone and boom there's another what's for dinner video perfect timing I'm making my grocery list. Diffently will be making these recipes, thanks for sharing. 😊😊

[@LisaH582]

I almost always find at least one or more of your recipes from each video to try. They are simple to make and quite good. I'm from Georgia so we like the same things your family seems to like. I also like the fact that you're honest about what you make. For instance, in this video you said you weren't crazy about the way the baked chicken came out. You liked the chicken but the seasoning just didn't work out the way you expected it to. So many folks will rave about how good something is that they made in one of their videos, and I've followed their recipe and did not like it at all. I look forward to your next video!

[@JosieBClark]

That cornbread is DELICIOUS!!! Another great week of meals! This will help me next week! 😅🎉🎉

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Happy Halloween, friend. I've been watching you for years and never get tired of your videos. You share the best and most delicious recipes. Can't wait to add these to my list.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

How're you doing Ms alma?

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@MommaLousKitchen I'm doing okay, things are slowly looking up.

[@managing_the_motherload]

Yum ❤

[@mrs.natashabarrow2973]

Happy Halloween Stepp Family. Hope you all have a safe day.

[@rainypeople1]

To all those correcting her pronunciation, Southerners typically pronounce the L in salmon. It's not incorrect; it's cultural! ❤

[@devonlh]

I live in the south and yes a lot of people do mispronounce it with an L

[@terrigaines1812]

​@@devonlhI agree. I live in Kentucky, the same as Kristin, and a lot of people do pronounce the L in salmon. I don't, but a lot do.

[@dyergirl15]

Correct. I'm from Tennessee and I pronounce the L in Salmon!

[@marinarodriguez604]

I was just thinking about you and your recipes! Thank you for sharing, I’ll have to try them 😊

[@KristinStepp]

❤❤❤

[@kathygist6488]

Terrific meals, as usual! My husband won't normally eat salmon, but he loves salmon patties. Doesn't make sense to me, but I oblige him😊😅

[@sibyld927]

I make my ghoulash the same but I use mild ground sausage instead of beef and it is a cheaper option and YUMMY!! I just use the kroger mild sausage in a tube.

[@marymowry83]

Also my mamaw always made salmon patties with soup beans! She called them salmon patties but she actually used macral. 😮

[@terrigaines1812]

Do you mean mackerel?

[@NReed-xh1cd]

Good inspiration…saw several I would like to try. Thanks for sharing.

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

I really love those beans and corn bread 🤤 everything is wonderful 👍👍 Happy Halloween you guys.

[@cathrynbroussard]

try substituting some of the beef broth in the goulash with heavy cream! its AMAZING

[@tammifields4142]

YESSSS 🤤🤤to All of the meal ideas!! Thanks Kristen....Greatly appreciated!🫶

[@ms_texas]

Awesome recipes! Thank you. I’m drooling over the nachos ❤

[@bonniepwtf]

You did it again, great meal ideas & made me hungry. Happy Halloween sweetie🎃👻 💌

[@elainemiller47]

Another quick way to cook fried potatoes is to cook them in the instant pot first, then you only need to brown them 😊

[@KimFego-pn2yt]

Yo. The honey cornbread is awesome!!

[@KellyJelly9976]

sweet cornbread is soooo good. My grandparents (from MS) always made hotwater in the skillet, but my mom made Jiffy with a bit of sugar. So good! I love it with chili

[@virgoscorner]

I forgot to mention in my other comment. I came to your channel yesterday looking for an upload, lol. I was missing you, my girl 🤣💜

[@melaniemurphy2429]

Looks Absolutely delicious! You’ve made me so hungry for soup beans and fried potatoes ❤

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome video, 😙thanks ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

[@audreycasassa1683]

Excellent video as always✌😊🌞

[@sheilamorley4254]

Thank you, your videos are so helpful. We get in a rut and need new ideas 😊

[@Janieandtheboys17]

Happy Halloween!! I love hearing your accent so much 😊 You say “salmon”, in Toronto we don’t pronounce the “l”, we say it more like “sa-men”. You say “ole” and we say “o-il” lol Hope you had a fun Halloween/Riley’s birthday!!!

[@teresahickey6230]

Enjoyed watching! Good inspiration. I love to hear you talk! That Ky. accent!

[@mjackson780]

Her accent sounds like my niece from NC.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

I do chicken broth and bay leaves in my beans too. And a spoon of horseradish in mine. 🔥

[@KathytheMama777]

I love that Honey cornbread mix!! ❤Great video! Thanks so much 🧡🧡🧡

[@goatvomit]

Happy Halloween 🎃

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

My husbands from the south. I love your recipe. My mom didn’t let me in the kitchen when she cooked so I don’t know much. I feel like a failure to my southern husband not knowing how to cook! Ugh 😅

[@elisaquilling682]

Great recipes as always. Just a tip that I do with my beans I start my stew of chicken stock seasoning etc first. It helps cut the cooking time for the beans I do the same when making collards etc also I love to have mackerel with my beans collards cornbread and fried tators. Just dice up some onions and cook in butter and add mackerel and let it cook for about 20 minutes (so good). A good chicken marinade and vegetables is lawrys in the bottle from Walmart or wherever you shop. Just some ideas for ya Kristen. Have a wonderful weekend 🤗

[@sibyld927]

Mmmmm fried taters and soup beans together is heaven!

[@tammifields4142]

Yesss, Agree!😋😋

[@mjackson780]

Don't forget the cornbread muffins.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

💯

[@MommaLousKitchen]

I could eat beans once a week honestly. I did growing up lol

[@kyoung2918]

That is my recipe for goulash minus the crushed tomatoes. I just do a big can of whole peeled tomatoes that I chop up in the can lol and beef broth as my liquid. But I do it on the stove, not in an instant pot.

[@KimFego-pn2yt]

I made salmon patties tonight. I make them a little different but they are delicious 😊

[@MommaLousKitchen]

Yeah we're a split house on seafood. They had crabcakes and fish tonight, i had the sides lol. Salmon patties i love though. And tuna. And freshwater fish. Specifically catfish!

[@paulamcleod1227]

Your husband must have had a mom that made salmon patties! You are so kind to make them for him!

[@susans9491]

Planning the steak tips for next week, as well as the salmon patties. I grew up in southern Ohio and just never tried much seafood, but we used to get ‘shrimp burgers’ at a little place near the beach when we went out to visit family in Washington state. They were crispy and delicious, so it’s time to try and make some seafood fritters!❤🇺🇸

[@annfevans6923]

Everything looked great, just a help note ... You can pop your potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes and it will allow them to cook faster on a sheet pan.. Have a Happy Halloween.

[@carrielee6652]

Im with you on the salmon, I've tried to like it, but it always gives me the ick when i try and eat it 😂

[@darbibrumbaugh9956]

You should do a series making cookbook recipes.

[@kimberlyyoung6517]

I love a good salmon patty

[@denisenotdennis]

My death row meal is salmon patties..fresh creamed corn green beans sliced tomatoes and biscuits!

[@KarenGretzler-q8j]

I grew up on tuna patties. I love them! I prefer canned tuna over salmon.

[@marydavenport8515]

Happy Halloween!! Great video!!!🎃

[@CathieG]

Oooh I’m going to try that goulash! 🤩😍

[@cindykmkm]

Those beef tips are calling my name:)

[@heathertimms50]

making the goulash tonight! So excited, I added actual onion, but I know that's a no for your Kristin.. LOL :)

[@KL-zg5dn]

Loved this video

[@Karina-jd1lc]

great meals Kristin!!! loved em all , u should try the salmon patties, girl u dont know what ur missing!!! future refence, the L is silent in salmon

[@Antoniaaaabrown]

I love the way she talks ❤

[@susans9491]

I think the ‘L’ in salmon is a southern thing. In the pacific northwest we always treated it like a silent letter, but my friends from Texas always pronounce the ‘L’.❤🇺🇸

[@tinashort9098]

I've pronounced like she does my whole life😂😂 I'm from VA and that's how we say it!

[@susans9491]

@ That’s what I was saying, I think it’s a southern thing - just a different dialect.

[@meganfarley420]

@@susans9491absolutely not. I’m from Texas and we do not pronounce the L.

[@marymowry83]

If you do your oil in your measuring spoon first before your honey, the honey will slide right off the spoon. 😊

[@boredtomysoul]

Kirstin you should try some Indian recipes I'm sure your family will love them !!

[@yaricontreras3063]

Great video 😊

[@Jamhands9]

I make tuna patties and I love those. I’m not a salmon fan.

[@mjackson780]

Is that greens with your beans? I adore greens, just in the last couple of years.

[@TheWookieesWife]

I constantly get the burn notice on my instant pot. 😮

[@mjackson780]

Needs more liquid.

[@jenniferdaniell4522]

Ive never seen salmon patties made with mayo!

[@karihyuuga9554]

We have a very different understanding what gulasch is 😂 but it looked really good

[@georgekessler3548]

I have always heard not to salt beans until the end, too, because salt will make the beans tough. I see other KZbinrs salt theirs at the beginning, though, and they dont seem bothered. Haha. -Kryste

[@mjackson780]

My grandmothers and mom have always salted their beans at the beginning of cook time. I guess I am following their example. I don't have problems with the beans getting tough or taking longer to cook.

[@apriltownsend8463]

Skip the diced tomatoes and spices and just use a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce for the goulash. That's what we do. 8oz large elbows, 2 cans of tomato soup, 2 cans of water, 15oz spaghetti sauce, chopped bell pepper, chopped white onion, 1lb hamburger meat, and 2 cups of a cheese blend melted on top. No extra ingredients that are hard to say lol

[@apriltownsend8463]

@@AlyssaCarter-m1iYou obviously didn't read all of the comment. If you use spaghetti sauce (NOT tomato sauce) in place of the diced tomatoes, it already has the spices in it. Even if you buy the most basic sauce like Prego or Ragu traditional, there's onion and garlic already in it. We buy the chunky but I know she doesn't like actual onion so I didn't suggest it.

[@mimimcgee5512]

13:10 I recommend measuring the olive oil in the spoon first and that serves as a coating when you want to measure honey after in the same spoon.

[@mylittlepony-s1m]

cool

[@angelabrockman7816]

❤

[@SusanH578]

Great recipes!! Salmon patties are the BOMB!! I make them with a can of salmon though & haven’t used mayo in my recipe. Also, the “L” is silent in Salmon.

[@amygardner1454]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@emmadiaz4185]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@YdnickniL]

Packaged salmon doesn't taste anything like a salmon filet. Just so you know since you don't like seafood.

[@mjackson780]

I can eat canned salmon but not fresh. I am not sure why.

[@angelamcpherson8283]

I love fresh salmon!

[@sollandernorman-rv7dd]

Hey Kristen

[@kathyclarke6327]

The kids liked the peppers? Or did they not notice them?

[@meganfarley420]

Absolutely love your accent, I adore the way you say sandwich [samwidge] but, I cannot accept pronouncing the L in salmon 😅 It’s “sam-in” (this is from a place of love, I promise ❤)

[@virgoscorner]

That southern accent makes my heart smile. Hearing the voice-over, I can just imagine your beautiful smile. I'm definitely trying the chicken nachos recipe & the beef tips. I've always wondered if Josh likes real onions, lol? I'm not a fried salmon person either. As a child I ate a lot of them & now I hate them & the smell of them 🤣. Have you ever heard of salmon salad (like tuna salad)? My grandmother used to make it & I like it that way. That's the only way I will it salmon now & that's every blue moon.

[@spaz610]

Why no Halloween themed food this year?😔

[@MelissaCarlson-l6k]

I don't use stew meat anymore. I think it's a waste of money. I'd much rather take a roast and chop it up myself.

[@MrsKilby1]

Me and my husband love fried potatoes and onions but I can't cook them for the life of me. The potatoes turn to mashed potatoes almost or they get so dark. I need help.

[@cynrok]

once the pan is hot i put the potatoes in, lay the onions on top, turn the heat down to fairly low, cover, and let simmer 10 mins. the steam softens them. then flip the potatoes, put the lid back on, and simmer another 10 mins. then take the lid off, flip again, and bring heat up to medium high to get them brown and crispy. also, salt at each step (3x). fried potatoes are not quick, it always takes 30 mins. looks like kristin does the opposite way--gets them brown on higher heat first, then covers and steams them to get soft. either will work.

[@MrsKilby1]

@cynrok thank you so much! I will try again.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

Bacon grease them taters! I promise! 😊

[@Housewarmin]

Worcestershire is pronounced Wooster Sure like New Hampshire.

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

I didn’t like salmon patties either. They didn’t have salmon in pouches in my day but my mom would pan fry them in butter. It made them look more like a crab cake but I’d take one bite and never take a second. You and your kids share my opinion..yuck. I’m making that goulash recipe, it’s the closest to my mom’s!

[@thenubalicious]

😷💚🎃

[@francescajohnston1470]

🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@cynrok]

that foil pack salmon just tastes like canned tuna, do you not do tuna either? i'm surprised you wouldn't even try a bite when your husband loves them so much. do you have some sort of trauma around seafood? lol my husband won't do anything spicy because as a kid he bit into a scotch bonnet pepper thinking it was an apple, now he gets really upset at anything spicy!

[@Iamagremlin123]

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce the L in salmon 🤣

[@TracyannBoyle-wm2zo]

Salmon is pronounced as samon with the l as silent

[@karenburene9164]

"sal-mon" patties??? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! it's pronounced "sam-mon".... OMG... thanks for the laugh.
