What’s for Dinner| Budget Friendly Family Meal Ideas| I’m back!! 

Honey my husband and I separated for a year and a half we got back together and have been together for 12 amazing years and two kids! DO NOT let any one tell you they have a perfect marriage because that IS A LIE!!!! It takes communication trust and love to keep working at it. I wish you guys the best and I know if you guys really want to you guys will make it work❤️❤️❤️ good luck!!

Girl, I can TOTALLY relate. Don’t know the situation but do not deal with anything you know you don’t deserve. As long as he’s respecting, loving and not mistreating you, I hope it works out. Otherwise, he can kick rocks.

So happy for you and Josh!! I bet there's a lot of divorced people out there who wish they could give it another try. Praying God's blessing and protection over your marriage. 💖💖💖

He’d be a stupid man to miss out on all your good food! 😂 glad you guys could work it out! As long as you’re happy girl, we’ve missed you! ❤️

I understand from the standpoint of your kids; my parents separated and were divorced for six months before remarrying. They went on to being married for 50 years.

I noticed you weren’t posting. I’m glad you’re back your kids cracked me up 😂 hope you and your husband can mend things and be happy!

OMG i had no idea your moving adventure was becuase of a divorce. I'm glad that you and your husband are doing better. But remember that no matter what, we love you!

I'm not on social media so I was unaware of anything except your absence on RU-vid. I'm glad everything is working out for you. Wish you all the best and I'm so happy to see a new video. Best wishes to you and your family!!!!

I’m so glad you guys decided to work things out but, most of all, I’m glad you’re happy. You’ve always been my favorite “what’s for dinner” gal & I’ve really missed you and your recipes. Your channel was the very first channel I ever watched related to food so when you left, I missed you. It’s so funny how we, as viewers, become so close to the people we watch. I feel like I was missing one of my close friends. Lol. I hope you don’t mind, but I did find some new friends to fill the void while you were gone. Taylor Elmore & I became pretty close & Jen Chapin & I did, too. 😂😂😂 I’m just kidding. Lol! I’m glad you’re back!!!! ❤️

My husband appreciates you coming back. I was running out of ideas to cook! I missed you. Glad to have you back!

I feel like I wish more people were open and honest about their struggles. It helps others with theirs. I'm super open and I've had people tell me my vulnerability helped them. I'd really like to know the long version of this story. My marriage is struggling and maybe your experience could help me out. Any way. I'm glad you guys are working things out.

Yea!! My monday just got 100% better!

I'm so excited you're back! Life is messy no need to apologize. I'm thrilled for you and your family. 💜

Yay!!!! Welcome back, I've been wondering were you've been. Great meal ideas as always. My husband and I separated once, got back together and I'm happy to report it's been 15 years and we are still going strong. Missed you!!!!

Happy for you! Glad y’all worked it out. Thank you for being so real with us! Much love! ❤️

I love your honesty and am so glad you’re back ❤️

So happy to see you again!!! Life is messy,and you just get through it the best you can!! You are loved and supported more than you know💜

Your family will be in my prayers. It's difficult to work through things, and sometimes that just makes things even better. Just remember that you are not alone. (Hugs)

Aww I'm happy you're back finally 💗💗 you're the first person I stayed watching for what's for dinner!!! Much love xoxox

I sat at work with my AirPod in today and made a grocery list with so many of your recipe meals! Loved your intros it’s real life and everyone deserves a moment to block out the world when life gets overwhelming! You are a great cook and great mom! Thank you for sharing and prayers for your marriage always

Wishing you and your family nothing but the best! I’m so happy to hear things are working out.

Yay for working hard on your marriage! I can’t recommend marriage counseling highly enough! It totally saved my marriage ♥️

So glad you and the family are well. Priorities!! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧💗 Also, I'm inspired by the chicken / dumplings recipe...so simple!!

Yay!!! Happy your family is doing well. I just went through something similar. I missed your recipes. Happy you are back

So happy you’re back and ok, and so glad you guys are working things out! Prayers and love ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻

This just made my whole day I’ve been patiently waiting for you to come back and by patiently I mean stalking your RU-vid LMAO I get my best meal ideas from you !!

I haven't been married very long (3 years in December) and it has been hard. I was about 6 months pregnant right before the world went crazy in March. I was up at Walmart in the middle of the night after a fight with my husband and he pulled in and got out with another woman. He insists they were only friends. I was gone for like a month. I only came back for the baby though. Things are still shaky, but hopefully will be better again some day. I did see something recently that I try to keep in mind- your vows are most important when they are hardest to keep. Good luck!

Happy to see you back! I can’t wait to try these recipes

Glad you’re back! Best of everything for you!

Hi . I am so, so excited to see you! I have been watching Taylor Elmore and Jess and the Boys, and I really like them, but you are my favorite!🥰 I hope that everything continues to work out for you. I am so happy that you’re okay and I can’t wait to see more videos 😃

I missed your videos! So glad you’re back now ❤️❤️

So glad you are back. Sorry you have been going thru such a rough time, but glad you guys have worked it out so you all can be together. Was worried about you, but figured you were going thru something and just needed some time. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck on everything and you guys stay safe.

So happy you’re back!

You’re human just like anyone else. Sometimes we all just need a break. Glad you’re back with yummy recipes, and wishing your family nothing but the best!

I remember watching this at the time, marveling at your courage, tenacity, and honesty, knowing how important it is not to pretend things are perfect when they’re not. I just watched this again today by chance, and was reminded how amazing you are! I have enjoyed your videos and recipes for years! Grateful for you!

Omgosh! I'm SO glad you are back! I hope everything works out well and you all are very happy. ❤

When you’re making the white sauce, turn off the heat once you have your “roux” before adding your liquid. It won’t thicken when you do that.

I love how she always says a tablespoon of butter and then adds 2-3 tablespoons 😂

So happy you guys are working things out! 💜 also super happy you are back!!!

Sometimes men have to lose it all to see what they have . Marriages go through rough patches I am glad you guys are doing better !

I was just thinking about you yesterday.

Good to see you back. Hope all is well with you and your family now. Glad you both decided to try to work things out. Marriage is not easy. Lots of changes in your life. Yay! Change is good. Wishing you much success in all you do.❤

So happy you’re back! I respect the heck outta you girl, welcome back!

Don’t stay for anything other than 100% sublime happiness girl! 💜 I went through a divorce and it was hard during the process, but at the end of it all I cannot imagine my life if I had stayed.

I literally was just thinking about you this morning and wondering when you were gonna upload again so now I'm weirded out you uploaded lol

🙌🏼 Yay girl, so glad you are back and hope you find peace in your life. 💕

Welcome back. So glad you're back. I missed you so much. I've loved all of your recipes. You have gave me so much inspiration. Another great video of delicious meals. Everything looks delicious. Hope y'all have a great day and week. Continue to stay safe. God bless.

A reconciled marriage and you all going home is far more exciting than cooking, but I am so happy about all of it ☺️ God bless your marriage and your home life ♥️ (and your cooking)🥰

Girl everybody goes thur stuff .. Its great y'all are gonna work on it ... In 30 yrs it will be worth it Lol good luck sweetie .. I'm a new sub an am so glad to see you back 💜💙 love an prayers just take it one day at a time Hey where do u get that 21 gun spice

I just really hope that you are happy. And welcome back 😊😊😊😊

SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!

Praise God. Things happen in his time not ours. Everything in your world is happening just as it should be. Maybe He just wanted you to know if necessary you can handle more than you think. Love your videos and the way you pronounce pepper makes the video for me. Glad you're back and doing well. 🙏🤗

I hope the marriage thing wasn't because you had your own hobbies (youtube) doing well, and then got a full time job....being Ms. Independent. That whole "nice country wife that should be home and in the kitchen, raising the children" mentality gets really old if you don't want that too. If you don't have one already, start putting money aside just in case. Yes, work on your marriage and commit fully to that, but only a Fool doesn't have an emergency plan. Hang in there. ❤❤❤

So Happy for you and glad your back full time!!!!!

You look happy. So glad you’re back.

Hey girl! Your daughter seems to be too big for her car seat. There should be at least one inch of shell above the head & it looks like her head is above the seat with no shell protecting the top of her head.

She sounds so sad this whole video

So glad you're back!
