Fry your squash like green tomatoes, it’s delicious

I haven't watched yet, I watch all these at night before bed. Kristin, I just wanted you to know how much your videos mean to me. My days are super stressful at work. But I know at the end of my day I will go home and watch these wonderful little cooking videos. I binge watch, I have watched them all, several times, lol! My Gramma took care of us when we were real small, I used to watch her cook so much. She bought me my first play kitchen set. I'd cook Vienna sausages all the time🥰 Anyway... I wanted to catch a newer video to comment on in hopes you would see it. My Gramma was super special to me(and still is) And watching your videos brings me that comfort again. I just wanna tell you they are amazing! And I hope they continue for a long long time! And thank you so much for them all🥰 And all your hard work! You need a cooking show, THEY ARE THAT GOOD! Well off to work, so excited to get home and watch this one! Thank you Kristin❤️

Whenever you run out of your bouillon powder… my FAVORITE way to make broths at home is to use the brand “better than bouillon” it’s a paste you keep in your fridge then mix with water and they’re delicious! I don’t buy boxed/canned broth cause these are so much better!!

Never heard of Beef Stroganoff without mushrooms. I thought that was one of the main ingredients. I do love your videos, keep them going please. Love your channel.

Im craving soup today and that chowder looks delicious!

MA'AM those tostadas look like heaven. 😍

Thanks for sharing! I love watching your videos while eating in the sofa 😉

I freaking loooovveeeee your cooking videos. I ALWAYS get a few recipes from them. This time it was the mini chicken tacos. Chefs kiss ‼️‼️‼️

I put zucchini in everything ( here we call yellow squash zucchini) I finely grate it in food processor before adding ! You can’t even see it so add as much as you like!

I usually just do the immersion blending right in the pot to gauge when it is a thick enough consistency. The blended amount just needed to be a bit more and it would have worked perfectly. Blending the ingredients not only adds thickness but it whips air into the soup giving it a silkier feeling on the tongue. My old home ec’s teacher taught us how to take an ordinary can of tomato soup with water and use a high speed blender for just a few moments right before service to make it taste creamier. She said it was science and using a tool a different way can yield exciting results. She even showed if we didn’t have sour cream to use drained cottage cheese blended to dub for a sour cream. She was awesome.

I Always enjoy your videos....Yummy ideas!!!😋😋

You have outdone yourself! Great video. :)

My girl back to help me cook! ❤❤❤

Congratulations on being able to use the salsa unblended. It’s all about exposure. Just keep going forward 👍🏻

That soup looks like a bowl of summers!! Like a lighter corn chowder with bonus summer veg!

Oh my goodness!!! We have the same griddle and I never thought to make pizza on it!! I am so going to try this!!

Pizza on the grill is 🔥

That summer soup looks amazing!

The soup looks so good!! I’m going to make it.

The tostadas look amazing! 😍

All look delicious and easy to make. Blessings

Thank you for another great video Kristin! Cannot wait to try the chicken lime tostadas! 💚

Everything looks so delicious Kristin! Thanks for sharing with us!

I'm going to try a couple of these. The stroganoff looks great and so did the texas bbq beef. Yum!

Thanks for sharing❤❤ Have a great weekend!

All of this food is fire!!! 🔥. Thanks, Kristen. ❤️

The leftover corn cobs would make a great corn stock for the next soup! Always happy to see you’ve posted another great vid❤️🥰

Yummy!!! I’m so hungry now lol thanks for the great ideas :)

Everything looks so delicious,thanks for sharing 👍❤️👍❤️👍

I love your videos. Definitely miss you packing your husband's lunch videos.

Love your videos! I look forward to yours the most. 😊 May I suggest, for cutting the potatoes and squash, that you cut them lengthwise instead of into rounds first. You'll save yourself a lot of time. 😊

Delicious and yumy

I have watched you for a while, all of these are great, thank you so much for your hard work!

Gonna try this sheet pan recipe.

Really enjoyed the video ❤

my husband and my favorite pizza is always bacon, pineapple, and jalapeno! the best combo! we love pineapple

So wonderful to see you ❤️ this video is amazing.i loved your soup,I will definitely be making that for sure, everything is always so delicious.i hope you all are doing great staying safe, happy and healthy 🙏🙏 have a great day family 😊🙏

Great minds think alike! I am making that same chowder today. Your beef stroganoff looks delicious (actually alll of them do), but I think I will definitely be trying that next. Thank you for helping us all get dinner on the table..

All of these recipes in this video look AMAZING!! I'm going to try the cilantro chicken.... looks delicious! Thank You!

Everyone of those meals looked like winners to me. The first one I'm going to try is the BBQ beef, how simple and easy can you get? No standing around cooking or heating up the kitchen either. Thank you Kristin 😊 💓

Have you tried the green pepper Cholula hot sauce? So good.

Always look forward to your videos, you help me SO much with meal planning😁

All looks so good always

These looks delicious! Now I'm just wondering if I can use a pork roast for that Texas bbq sandwich and will it be just as yummy.

Great recipes

From SE. Georgia originally my grandma would fry everything lol fried squash was the best

The bbq plate looked delish

Nice meals, Look delicious..

Thank you so much for sharing those beans. I bought some after seeing this and they are delicious, creamy and easy! I will never buy canned refried beans again. So tasty, no need to add sour cream.

My mom's bbq beef sandwiches were one of her signature meals. She would make the beef for special occasions and it was something everyone requested for parties, etc. I make her recipe. I must admit though, I'm interested in trying this one =)

I made the chicken lime cilantro recipe. Delicious!

Everything looks delicious the corn chowder is a must try,love me some fried zucchini and squash as well! I absolutely love beef stroganoff especially with mushrooms green peppers and onions with white cream sauce 😋🙏🏾❤️

I make stroganoff all the time. May i suggest replacing the cheddar cheese with 1/2 a block of cream cheese and instead of beef use chicken broth. Also i mix in a teaspoon of pimento peppers. SO MUCH FLAVOR I PROMISE ❤

Nice cooking 🧑‍🍳 😊

That veggie soup looks delicious

Kristin, those BBQ sandwiches look great! I'm definitely going to have to try that recipe! Everyone in my house loves mine as well! My go to recipe is a 3lb roast, 12 oz can of coca cola, 1 bottle of chili sauce, and 1 envelope of the lipton beefy onion mix. I mix everything and then pour on top of the roast and let it cook. So I guess adding the chili powder in yours isn't too far fetched!

Have you ever tried making homemade cheddar bay biscuits from scratch? They are very easy to make & MUCH cheaper than the box mixes!! The box mixes are so expensive!

I feel ya on the whole popping on the lid instead of dirtying a casserole dish 😂 my go to stronganoff-esque recipe is 1 lb ground beef/turkey/chicken seasoned how you like, 1 jar lays french onion dip, 2 cans cream of mushroom, add cooked egg noodles, top with fried onions (sour cream and onion chips work great too). I pop on the lid just to warm everything through. Found it on pinterest and now make it once a month, soo easy!

Hey Kristin! I love your videos. I was going to suggest a faster way to cut your veggies. If you slice the veggie in half long ways, then slice each half down the middle long ways again a few times, and then you can very quickly cut all the way down short ways and it goes so fast. I hope that makes sense. 🙈

I agree with you about that PAZZA

😊

That stroganoff looks delicious!

❤

Yesss pasta sauce on pizza is bomb 💣 and so is pineapple 🍍!! My kinda pizza

The chicken tostadas look amazing, going to try it! I always brown my pepperoni too, even when I add it to my sauce when I make it. It makes a huge difference! That fresh corn also makes an awesome summer salad, mixed with a can of rinsed black beans, a diced small red bell pepper with a homemade fresh lemon or lime vinaigrette. 🙂 I love fresh raw corn, it's sweet and crunchy.

I am not a big fan of stroganoff, but i think i'd really like this recipe.

What is your recipe for baked beans? Ever since they got rid of the grandma browns beans I haven’t found anything else that I love 😢

We love beef stroganoff to but I have never made it with a can of cream soup or cheese- I can’t wait to try this one with cheese. I do it almost the same way- beef broth and then sour cream. I want to try it with that mustard to lol 😉😊

How long does celery keep in the freezer? Also! I'd love to see the kids back to school lunches and your husband's lunchbox!!😊

Hey hey ❤❤

I’ve definitely done that with a chowder before and came out just as liquid 😂 honestly I would’ve rather have had more of the veggies than to have blended majority up🤷🏻‍♀️

Kristen put your corn in the hole of a bunt pan and the corn will go in the pan with no mess just a suggestion

I love your videos! How often do you post?

What kind of pots and pans do you like? I’m looking to get some new ones!

You are an amazing cook! Did you get that from your Dad. I've seen him in your videos.❤

I just realized, that you said Naan bread, not NONE bread 😅 I really like your videos 😊 love from 🇫🇮

Will you share your baked beans recipe? If you already have, which video? I’m new to your channel!

Hi where did you get your plates and bowls from?

You can buy the biscuits frozen now, have you tried them yet??

Hi, Kristin, could you please show us your mini food chopper, as well as a link to Amazon (assuming that's where you purchased it!) I could find your Amazon page. Thanks so much!

Homemade baked beans recipe? They look so good! 😋

I would be arm-wrestling you for your ham, pineapple, and peppers pie! They're all missin' out... ;-)

😋👍

.the pizza sauce and the spaghetti sauce are the same thing basically

Do you think that chili seasoning would be good in regular chili? I've been interested in it

Yayy! I'm early

Some Kielbasa or some other type of meat in the soup is needed

Yum, can't wait to add these to our meal plan. We've been doing easy meals that don't heat up the house. PS, y'all should try loaded potato pizza.

Hey Kristin, didn't know how else to message you, it is 08-15 today. Just making sure I haven't missed any new videos from you! I am subscribed so I should get the alerts. Hope you and your family are well! Looking forward to new videos! 😉🧡
