[@sierracollins3635]

Favorite part of my morning so far, you ask? Sipping coffee, watching your video, and cuddling my pups. ❤️ Your videos are so fun to watch & my husband loves the meals I’ve created since watching you.

[@MandyintheMaking]

You just MADE MY MORNING. Thank you so much for your kind words ♥️

[@sierracollins3635]

Mandy in the Making You are welcome!

Mandy you are an amazing cook . You clearly cook with Love , you cook because you want to cook , that's why you do such amazing recipes, Love your channel. Anita UK.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much!!

[@belindac1040]

Can we give Steven some love for his camera/directing skills? He does a GREAT JOB! Mandy your videos are Food Network quality. I love them so much ❤️

[@MandyintheMaking]

I agree!!! I'm so blessed that he is willing and he does a fantastic job. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@arthrodea]

Does Steven have experience in television or film? His views and closeups are really beautifully done.

[@denisec425]

I so so agree on Stevens camera and editing skills. You all make such a great team

[@nitahiltner8527]

I just made an adaption of potato soup. Ground beef cooked with onions and bell pepper, add water, celery, cabbage and potatoes. Cook till all is done, save liquid in the pot. Add whole milk and Velvetta to taste. It makes a thick soup, delicious.

[@mojo843]

Give this woman a TV show already. Great personality that is contagious (and doesn't seem fake), beautiful family, awesome food recipes. I'd watch for sure!

[@MandyintheMaking]

You are too sweet. Thank you!

[@arlenerodriguez4314]

The worst part of this video is deciding which is my FAVORITE! My goodness, they are ALL SOOO DEEE-LICIOUS!! And, absolutely gotta try. I have learned so so much from you. Not just the actual cooking, but you share with us sites that can help us find yummy recipes and family values. I have a very tight knit family and really can appreciate and enjoy watching how yours is so supportive. It's AWESOME!! Hugz Arlene

[@FutureMrsWarwick]

Mmm this stuff sounds so good! I love how your husband is so authentic with his reviews. Seriously, he is very authentic and I love it!

[@joyfulinhope1210]

2:42 Garlic Parmesan Orzo

[@susiebergen2332]

Yum!That looks good.😋🇨🇦

[@nicoleneuner3735]

I just discovered your videos and I LOVE them!! I adore your husband and how you can tell he loves you so much.

[@jenniferschweinsberg5536]

Another great video! When I saw saw Cole in the the thumbnail picture it made me smile 😃

[@MandyintheMaking]

I can't believe he agreed to that!! Hehe 😋

[@elizabethshaw734]

A few grading so fresh nutmeg would make that orzo and spinach pop!

[@whitmorrow]

Mandy, you are such a blessing to me! I'm a 33 year old stay at home mom in Dallas. I love your videos and they always inspire me to try new recipes. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may the Lord bless you!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Whitney! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

[@9Cdubs]

This combination was a BIG seller at my house. Thanks for sharing, this will go into our "rotation".

[@tamerawencl5675]

I see all three of these meals going in my future meal plans for sure!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yay!!! So happy to hear that!

[@amygrant8812]

Yes, me too.

[@beckyhines3814]

Everything looks really good! 👍

[@lives2fishintx]

I made the chicken and orzo for dinner tonight, it was awesome. A simple tip for the orzo... add nutmeg to the dish to complement the parm.

[@nancycowan6109]

All yummy. When squeezing a lemon(or lime), cut the little stem end off. It makes squeezing so much easier and you get more juice. ❤️

[@jessiebechdoldt6300]

Making Mexican casserole for dinner tonight. Adding a layer of refried beans. Can’t wait for it to come out of the oven!!

[@mckenna8663]

For less experienced cooks... that butter lemon chicken/garlic parmesan orzo comes together quickly. DEFINITELY have everything prepared first... and if you like the stems off the spinach, have that done first. But it was SO tasty...YUM!👍

[@rebeccaschaefer5214]

This all looks so delicious!!! I could watch you cook all day! You make the best recipes I have seen on KZbin!

[@gracespace1]

I have made this before, but I have mixed the sausage meat with the cheese mixture. Yum!

[@southerngrandma4353]

I watch a LOT of cooking videos on KZbin and yours is my favorite!! 👍👍

[@pamelahamilton6811]

So good to see Cole again!

[@MandyintheMaking]

😍😍😍

[@patricianoble372]

I got to make the lemon chicken and. spinach arzo pasta!

[@tracyt8563]

Always love the recipes, AND love when you show Gracie💕

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Tracy!

[@jess-in9px]

when I pound chicken out I put mine in a ziploc bag and that seems to help with splatters:):)

[@kathysteel7072]

Mandy you definitely could have your own cooking show ,your so on point when your showing how to make your recipes . I think you would have made a awesome school teacher . I will be making all of these this week for my family. We missed you last week . Your such a inspiration to everyone that needs ideas for dinner. I am so glad I found you here on yt. Blessings Kathy

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Kathy! You are so sweet 😍

[@lisamorrow6844]

I can't wait to try that lemon chicken!

[@InTheMaking1000]

I have just found your channel today & already want to try so many of your meal ideas... thank you for sharing. Keep safe x

[@brissaramirez2066]

[@MandyintheMaking]

[@cathiemuraski3042]

I can’t wait to make the chicken and orzo!!! Sorry for the late watch I’m just finding your page and I’m in love!!!

[@missadkins5882]

I don't know why this is just now popping up for me to see but I'm happy I'm not missing it. Shout out to your son for making a cameo in your video! That's the reason why I clicked so fast because I know he never showed his face. I only ever see his thumbs up.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hehe! I was surprised he allowed me to put him on the thumbnail! Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@QueenQt67]

Omg this subby dish was so good kids loved it Thankyou Celest and Mandy 😋🤤👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@warriorcherylann3801]

You make all of it look so easy! lol

[@kdelang2518]

I'm new to your channel. Love how you have your hubby test your food you make.

[@warriorcherylann3801]

Ya all are so cute together he loves everything you cook Mandy! :)

[@priscilla6980]

The first dish looks so good!

[@MelissaFreeman]

This was the WRONG video to watch while I’m eating cereal!! Holy moly that 1st dish looks delicious!

[@hannahkayee831]

I need to make the first dish like tonight lol

[@TheMtggrl]

I made the stuffed shells with sausage over top and man oh man they were amazing, I recently made a batch and stuffed them, then froze them individually on a baking sheet and froze them solid, transferred to a freezer bag and now we can have just the right amount for the two of us when we feel like good stuffed shells. Tonight I have the orzo and the lemon chicken ready to serve as soon as my husband comes in from work. Love your recipes, and your video's, thanks for sharing them with us.

[@plumcrazy57]

Mandy you are amazing! I always chop off the big thick ends of my lemons before I squeeze them. It makes it easier to squeeze out the juice ❤

[@paulanelson639]

I can’t wait to try these new recipes! Love your videos.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Paula!

[@workofheartdesigns]

If you mix up you filling and put it in a zip lock bag, just cut off the corner of the zip lock and squeeze it into the shells. I do the same with deviled eggs, as well!

[@delaneydd1]

So far I've made the lemon butter chicken & creamy spinach orzo, delicious! Highly recommended 😊

[@1943sumrallgirl]

Mandy, you have some of the best recipes!!!! Thank you.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Jean!

[@emily--m]

All 3 recipes look fantastic. Thank you for sharing them. Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

Haha! Love the ending! You two are too cute.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Hehe. Thanks!

[@judynieman269]

Try leaving all of the goodies in the skillet after you cook the chicken and deglaze the pan with your chicken broth and lemon. You’ll find that there’s so much flavor that will add to your sauce.

[@lindashinaberry1167]

I love your recipes! If I cooked like you do every week, my husband and I would be big as a barn!

[@priscilla6980]

This whole video looks awesome!

[@michellestancato1308]

Omg that chicken and orzo looked so Delish! Now im really hungry!

[@321Cheryl]

Thank you so much for your cooking inspiration! Much gratitude and appreciation to you and your family. ❤️

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Anne!!!

[@elliemae4525]

Hey Mandy, I was just looking at your shoulder patch again and thought of my Mama's home treatment if you are still dealing with it and your migraines. She says to always keep 91% isopropyl alcohol on hand, preferably in a spray bottle . Spray the affected area really well and rub it in. It's almost magical in how well it works . Then get you some Voltaren gel and rub it in for the inflammation. This has helped me so much. I hope you see this and start to use these. They are a miracle for me.

[@jenniferb4493]

You have the best what’s for dinner videos!!! Everything always looks so delicious!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw, thank you!

[@lindashinaberry1167]

All of these recipes look amazing! Can't wait to try them.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Linda!

[@darianlibauer6913]

You’re so fun to watch. I think you should have your own tv show!

[@MandyintheMaking]

You are too sweet 😘😘

[@ssing2490]

Just a suggestion, it would really be helpful if you'd put the name of the recipes in the title of the video. I'm pinning these on pinterest but can't tell which video to go back to for certain meals.

[@gingerchilders7467]

I have to remember what shirt she's wearing lol

[@evem4876]

Sandy I agree with u ! 🌻

[@lexirae5236]

[@Isabella66Gracen]

I would love that too. I do the same thing. I have Mandy vids all over my pintrest, but I'm never sure which one I'm looking for.

[@TheRecipeTherapist]

Love ❤️ the Italian lemon 🍋 Chicken with Orzo 👌👩🏼‍🍳😉The Spinach adds such great color and flavor - yum 🍽 And those stuffed shells are Awesome too ! It’s Italian week week for sure at your home Mandy 🇮🇹😂 I actually share my Mom and Dads Authentic homemade meat sauce recipe on my channel - it’s a tradition in our family- if you ever want to attempt to try a meat sauce recipe!

Love it when you give out the recipe.It really helps me so much. God bless you and your family too Angel girl

[@tiktok11150]

I reuse a pickle jar to shake my ranch dressing in. I hated the leaking also and the jar works great. I add a tablespoon of sour cream before shaking it up so it is not so thin.

[@janetmichigander]

Steven!!! You are a stinker having Mandy do a retake!!😂on the last bit!! LOVE IT!!🤣Keep it up, Steven!! See ya' all soon!! Great video!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol! Girl, he does this almost every single time. Thought I would show all y'all what I deal with. 😂😂😂😂

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha, sorry about that!! 😍

[@gregorypreston4500]

I made this recipe vegan. Used vegan chik'n mix. Made this thin bread patties and frozen them before coating with vegan Just Egg and flour. Used almond milk. Used Earth Balance instead of butter. It turned out most delicious. Thank you Mandy.

[@lesliedobbs8888]

Definitely gonna have to try the stuffed shells and taco casserole

[@MandyintheMaking]

Both were amazing!!!

[@lisamartin3346]

Mandy How long would you say that you boiled those shells? You said that you undercooked them because they were going to be baked. Thanks

[@MandyintheMaking]

Probably about 7-8 minutes. I just kept checking them.

[@alishadawn6636]

I always wait for your son to give the final approval .. And this one I'm making . I'm making the first one

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so glad!!!

[@tiffanymartin9140]

[@MandyintheMaking]

No prob 👍 thanks for watching!!!

[@jeanniebell9493]

I have never tried lemon-chicken anything ! But I am intrigued ! Dying for the stuffed shells ! And subbie supper looks super !

[@jkmickle87]

I just found your channel via southern country living and I can’t wait to try some of your recipes! I work full time and I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes!

[@chloedubois8740]

Thanks to the sunbbie who recommended the taco casserole. There are so many variations of taco casserole, but this is on by far the best.

[@jess-in9px]

I can almost smell the chicken frying:)

[@robinhamrick8628]

These all look yummy! Love the picture of you and Cole! He’s so handsome!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!!

[@brendafordyce5696]

And the buttery garlic lemon chicken and the creamy orzo is a hit in my house! I've been asked to make it again this week.

[@sarahsiskin6780]

That last meal looks so good! Actually they all do.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol thank you!

[@eileenkillen1481]

Same here Mandy I forgot to wear an apron also!!! Tfs yummy recipes for us xxxx

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you Eileen!!

[@blingbyanne6357]

I make something VERY similar to the last dish you make. But make the spanish rice, add a can of rotel, and the hamburger, blend together well. On your PLATE, add 1 heaping handful of either fritos (Best) or roughly crumbled tortilla chips to the bottom of plate. Add rice/hamburger mixture. Then add cheese. Then, add salad mix to the top, and any extras like sliced olives, tomato, onions...etc. Then add ranch on top. Using your fork, mix together from the bottom, well. OMG...this has been a family staple for two generations in my family, called Mexican Delight.

[@lametriusbutler9314]

New subscriber. I just had to subscribe. Love your videos and your family. ❤️❤️❤️

[@palomahealing5073]

This has gotta be my favorite video of all time all around!!🩷🩷🩷 I like the with Mexican one with Crema drizzled on it!! And like you did with the chopped tomatoes too..👌

[@bindymcphee1986]

These all look fantastic!

[@robinabbott7049]

My mom taught me to always add a shot of dark rum to my ricotta mixtures. It was her secret ingredient. :-) If you’d like to take this dish up a notch or two, add crab meat to your ricotta mixture and put a couple shrimp in each shell. So many variations with this dish. Yours looks delish!

[@nancycowan6109]

Wow. That’s a new one for me. So rum works in Italian-based dishes? It’s worth a try. Thanks.

[@nancyjuliano9903]

Mandy definitely making all these recipes. They look delicious

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you!

[@suesch60]

Yum, now the only problem.....which one to try first? Thanks Mandy, your the best

[@MandyintheMaking]

That IS a problem! Lol 🤣 they were all excellent 👌
