[@jenniferschweinsberg5536]

Is it bad that I gave your video a "like" before I even watched it lol

[@MandyintheMaking]

Nope, - but I have to tell you that means SO much to me!!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Nope I do it too.

[@vickya.7948]

Me three, lol.😃

[@AmberatHome]

I do the same thing!

[@rachelwatson0306]

Just made your green beans for the first time and we all LOVED them! I’m a fan of green beans because it reminds me of my Granny. My husband and I will watch your videos almost daily and you have inspired me the last few weeks. After my back injury I feel kind of useless, so making great dinners for my family has brought me joy. Thankful for you!!!

[@ladyiq]

Hi Mandy from a fellow native Greenville SC. I have been binge watching all your videos and have tried several of your recipes. I love love your channel. Your recipes are comforting and familiar. Keep up the great content.

[@melissag8270]

So after watching your what's for dinner videos I am convinced Steven could be a Food Network judge he always describes his meals with such detail! You two need your own show ❤👌

[@MandyintheMaking]

You are too sweet! ❤️

[@rosemarycornwall5162]

Aside from the fantastic food content, I have to say that the whole of your production/filming quality is superb. Easily the best of any of the very many KZbin channels that I watch. Happy days!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much. I'm flattered that you think that ❤️ have a wonderful weekend!

[@CamayCannon]

@@MandyintheMaking Mandy would you ever consider doing a tutorial on video editing? Thanks:) Of course, not giving away everything you do, perhaps the basics?

[@tanyaclemons7515]

I love the way the husband describes the food. He is so appreciative of your meals.

[@elainemullins7860]

I am a new subscriber and I wanted to tell you how good everything looked! I like the way your husband lets you know he really appreciates your cooking. I have been married for over 40 years and my husband always thanks me for cooking him a good meal at night. It feels good to be appreciated for our hard work doesn't it?

[@CatherinesPlates]

Rotisserie chickens are the best for quick dishes. Casserole looks delish.the gravy looks so tasty. Enjoying your meals.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Catherine! Yes, I agree, they are nice to have!!

[@joanodonnell2646]

Hey Mandy! Another treasure of great recipes! Girl you never cease to amaze me. That chicken fried steak is something I love but am intimidated to make. The stuffing bake is a go too. Spinach artichoke dip is a favorite of mine and I am making it this weekend. You make everything look so easy. Stephen looked like he was in heaven with all those goodies. He is so handsome!! You are such a sweetheart for bringing us these wonderful videos and for just being you. Give adorable Gracie Lou a hug and a smooch from me. You rocked it again!! Love and blessings coming your way. ❤💙💜💚😼

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so so much for your kind words of encouragement and support!!! You don't know how much that means to me!!!!

[@linnis]

Girl, your husband has the best part in these videos. Eating all those delicious meals 💕🙌

[@MandyintheMaking]

He sure does! Lol

[@MB74133]

That’s exactly how I make my dip. I also drizzle on a little olive oil on top before baking it. We love it!

[@MandyintheMaking]

It's so yummy!

[@mariaconklin3850]

My husband is making me this recipe today. I can’t wait. It looks awesome. Spinach & artichoke dip is my favorite.

[@pamyoung5639]

We ❤️ your green bean recipe! Thanks for sharing all your recipes. Love your channel!

[@DivineSurprise]

I love when your husband tries something extra amazing it's like you can almost see him looking into the light of heaven and angels singing. Then he gets really confused like, "Babe - this is so amazing?....wow!" It's great! I love it! You are a lucky lady to get so many compliments. I really enjoy watching your channel.

[@MandyintheMaking]

I completely agree! I am so blessed to have someone who enjoys my food so much! Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@andrean733]

you're genuinely my favorite what's for dinner channel!! your recipes look so easy yet very tasty. I love bakes and casseroles and you just post the best stuff :) thank you, keep it up!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me!!

[@lisahoward1969]

I agree 100%..mandy in the making is my favorite what's for dinner channel too. I always look forward to watching them.

[@Angelaml222]

I made the chicken stuffing bake for supper. Thank you for the great supper ideas! I used fresh broccoli 🥦 and added a bit more. Didn’t pre-cook the broccoli at all and it came out awesome! My family loves broccoli!

[@haleycohenour4467]

You taking the week off made me realize how much I look forward to your videos. So glad you’re back! ❤️

[@MandyintheMaking]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder! ❤️😂 Thanks for the support!!!

[@deeferry6520]

Great video again Mandy. Those recipes look great, especially the chicken fried bake. Ive kept a copy to try, Artichoke hearts arent that easy to come by here, but they are readily available in Turkey. When I'm there next, I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks again x

[@MandyintheMaking]

Really!? Interesting!! Yes, definitely give the dip a try when you can. It's amazing!!!

[@vikkibyington3066]

Cubed steak is a favorite in my family. Well done, Mandy!

[@lovesthestars324]

Yes! Finally a spinach artichoke recipe without mayo! That looks delish! Can’t wait to make it! Thanks for sharing Angel and Mandy!

[@MandyintheMaking]

It was AMAZING!!

[@Mindlesswaffle10]

I would love to see a video of outtakes of where your husband isn’t a huge fan of something he eats. I just think it would be so funny to watch as he is always so positive about the meals. I suppose it just shows how much of a good cook you are though. All your meals look so tasty!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha, we really have only had one meal in the past 8 months since I've been recording these that he didn't care for. None of us did. LOL

[@nicolefrisby7234]

I made this green bean recipe the other night for supper and it is definitely a keeper!! My husband loved it and took the leftovers to work the next day.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yay! Glad to hear that 👍

[@vickya.7948]

Everything looked so yummy. I save all your whats for dinner vlogs in a folder to reference back to for trying your recipes so I don't have to search for them. Find something I love in all of them. Glad you took some time for yourself but so happy your back. Sure missed your vlog last Friday. Hope you guys have a great weekend! 😀

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much! I so appreciate your support and enthusiasm to watch my content. I'm also glad you find recipes you want to try!! Have a great weekend!!

[@FrankCostanza456]

Awesome video, as always. My favorite youtube cook by far. Homemade cooking that is easy and do-able even for those of us not so gifted in the cooking department. My family has enjoyed quite a few of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

I'm so glad to hear this!!! I'm by no means a great teacher, or a great cook. But I love being in the kitchen preparing food for my family!!

[@ambercason5100]

Every time I click on one of these recipe videos it's ALWAYS a southern girl with a southern accent. Always.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Lol 😂

[@tinapastrana5252]

Thanks for sharing it's nice to see a family who cooks together and talks about food together that's a blessing

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks so much, Tina!!!

[@christinesturgill]

Had to pin that chicken and stuffing bake. I make something similar but layered and without the carrot, onion and cheese. Someone from church brought it over when I came home from the hospital with my twins 26 years ago and we loved it and have been making it ever since. Always serve it with corn and cranberry sauce.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yes so good!!!! It's like a holiday meal!!!

[@theresasheak4786]

I so love watching your videos. I love how your hubby reacts to your cooking. You have a lovely family. Thank you so very much for all you do for us and sharing with us. much love

[@JaimeeL901]

I've recently come across your channel. I love the foods you cook! I am Australian, and this seems like proper American food (not the burgers and fries that you see as a stereotype). I'm going to try a few recipes once I get back from holidays this month. Thank you for uploading and being so gorgeous! I am in love with your kitchen. Your family seem so lovely.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you find it inspiring! Happy you are here, Jaimee-Louise!

[@christyzangel]

Making your fav green beans for our early Thanksgiving dinner!! Thank you for the recipe

[@oliviaharper802]

I feel like I’m watching a cooking show whenever I watch your what’s for dinners 💕 I always look forward to watching! Everything looked yummy as usual! 💕

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Olivia 😊❤️

[@patriciajustice5716]

I made the steaks and they was delicious but I substituted the hot sauce with steak sauce. my husband is really happy that I found your channel and trying different recipes lol. I would send a recipe from our family to you but we don't measure anything. we add it till it looks good and tastes good to us. lol. thank you for making this channel. have a good day.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Nice substitution!! Love that!!

[@redTtop]

I make green beans in the instant pot the same way, using fresh beans. Love it!

[@ashleygleaton8148]

I get so excited when I get a notification that you post a what’s for dinner! I have made a few of your dishes and my favorite LOVED all of them. The Greek chicken is one we have tried and we loved it !!

[@franbullington]

That Greek Chicken is my hubbie's absolute favorite way to prepare chicken.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Ashley! I'm so glad to have a loyal subscriber like you!!! :) Glad to know y'all are enjoying the recipes!

[@Whatsthedeal106]

The Greek chicken looks amazing! I make my spinach and artichoke dip with pepper jack cheese 🧀 instead of mozzarella, you would probably love the flavor if you tried! And I use mayo and sour cream.

[@sarahsiskin6780]

I live in NJ and can never make chicken fried steak successfully. Thanks to your recipe I know what I was doing wrong! Off to try it again!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yay! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@lynziiveson4689]

It all looked delicious! That chicken fried steak had my mouth watering😂 thanks for sharing!

[@MandyintheMaking]

That was one of my favs, for sure!!

[@sharondavizcaino7603]

Wow the chicken fried steak dinner that you made and sides is something my family loves.

[@kendrawilliamson1737]

The chicken and stuffing looks so good! On my list to cook.Now to the rest! OH, And the bacon wrapped bbq chicken was soooo good!!!!! Thank you and God bless!

[@kenzieq2807]

That chicken fried steak meal looks amazing !

[@MandyintheMaking]

It was!!!

[@charlotteshifflet4422]

I have just recently found your channel and I have been binge watching your what’s for dinner videos. I have to say Mandy the food you prepare all looks delicious. Even the dishes that aren’t my favorite still look delicious lol. You need to have your own cooking show. It would defiantly take off. Your perfectionism and the way you plate your food is beautiful. Oh and it wouldn’t be a video with your sons thumbs up and hubby’s taste tests. Love, love, love your videos. Keep them coming. See you in the next one!

[@melanielester2106]

Lovely meal ideas as always. Your husband is always so enthusiastic about the meals you prepare. You looked so pretty at the end of the video, hope you were going somewhere special X

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks Melanie! Nope, was just patient enough to fix my hair that day. LOL

[@melanielester2106]

Mandy in the Making - Oh, ha ha, that sounds like me ! Have a great day X

Hi from the UK Mandy.I love watching your videos, and have made some of your recipes and they were delicious. I also love green beans, and normally I just steam them, so thanks to you, I have new recipes for cooking them. As always, looking forward to your next video.

Great, what time should I be over for dinner?? LOL

[@carolinejohn4537]

@@MandyintheMaking well I'm in UK so tell me which flight you're on and I'll get the beans on accordingly lol 😉👍

[@KarensTownsend9]

Looks good! We try to cook healthy now 😹 so I sauté diced onions in olive until brown add two cans of drained green beans, about a teaspoon of chicken bouillon. I buy the large jar and it last for about 8 months! I buy the tomato / chicken bouillon too for stews , chili, rice. Cover the beans and let them cook down! No water. Everyone thinks they are eating fresh beans! I want to try the dip! I love making dips. Another easy good dip is one cups grated onion, one cup mayo, one cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake 350 until a little brown and bubbly. Eat with Fritos. Some of our restaurants serve it as an appetizer. You could add a dash of hot sauce too. Thanks for the video. I really appreciate y’all!

[@MandyintheMaking]

That all sounds YUMMY, Karen!!!

[@celesteengstrom8326]

Watched your video and out of the blue my husband asked for chicken fried steak like two days later. This is not how we normally eat, case in point, I had to buy flour, heavy cream and milk as these are not our normal staples. We also stuck with our cauliflower mashed potatoes. Everything turned out great, the chicken fried steak or in our case deer was delish, and girl those green beans were fabulous. I was disappointed I only went with one can since it was the two of us, no leftovers there. We will be having this dinner again. THANKS!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Anytime I ever made that dip, I always add a Lipton Veggie soup mix packet. No offense to the person who made it- you can’t screw the stuff up, it’s delicious!!!! But they should try it with the packet added! I also like to add drained chopped water chestnuts, and sometimes if I’m feeling extra indulgent, crab meat! If I use crab I add juice and zest of one lemon.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yum!!!
