I love when Cole in in camera it's the best

In my opinion, you should never force a video if you're not feeling well. Take care of yourself first. We'll still be here when you return. These meals look great! That chicken sandwich looks delicious. I'll have to try that one. Take care!

Thank you. I just needed to get it done, so I'm glad I pushed through but I wouldn't have if I felt truly awful 😞❤️

When a teenager gives it a touchdown you know it has to be good. 👍👍

That’s is almost how my grandmother made her’s. But she put her mayonnaise in a separate bowl and she would add pickle juice ,her spices and a little bit of sugar then her very secret ingredient yellow food coloring. My grandmother hated mustard so she used yellow food coloring in that bowl instead of mustard. Everybody in the family thought she had the best mustard potato salad there was and there was not one drop of mustard in it. She did it that way because my grandfather would only eat mustard potato salad. Lol

Add the tomatoes, jalapeno, and onion to the avocado, omit the sour cream. Cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, a shake of cayenne, cilantro, lime juice. Adjust to personal taste. Best guac ever!

Totally can relate to the not feeling it days. Those are the days I just slap something simple in the oven. Going to have to try that fresco chicken!

I've been watching your channel for about two weeks now after "discovering" it in the middle of April. Couldn't figure out why I like it so much, beyond the good recipes you give us, until just a few minutes ago. It's largely because your channel is so clean---never any unnecessary words (foul language, which I hate), never any kind of meanness, never any kind of criticism of any recipe that's sent in to you. It's just clean, friendly, pleasant---very much as if you consider all of your viewers as friends to whom you want to give good recipes and meal ideas.

Love how Gracie shows up when cheese is involved 😂

Thank you SO much for your little "not in the mood to cook" moment!!! I love to cook, but some days that is exactly how I feel too. :) Pushing through it almost always makes me feel better. Thanks for the honest moment about your video making being an accountability push. :)

That Cole is such a delight! Such a sweetie.

I know the best part of cooking, other than eating it yourself, must be the compliments and thumbs up from your family! It is for me.

I have just started watching and see how you are so precise in everything you do. A lot of KZread shows skip slot of ingredients and steps. You are very intune to keep the attention of your viewers to be acknowledged. Yes this is important. Because I dont waste battery and time. Thank-you for your ingenious patience and love most of all in what you do. Steve is a lucky man. God Bless and keep up the drive and endurance for what you love.

Those recipes look absolutely amazing!!! I Love seeing Cole in the videos more!!

I agree with Cole,cilantro is so gross! Thanks for the dinner ideas fam!🙏🏻😊

I love how you always say that Cole "isn't a huge fan of cilantro" when we all know there are only two possible ways to feel about the stuff. You either like it, or hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

Mandy your son cracks me up everytime he stands up to show approval on the meal. Lol

HI Mandy. We need to take a moment of silence for the masterpiece that is Steven's (sp) fried chicken! I love Cole's reaction to the food when he stands up and raises his arms.

I'm going to try the salsa fresca chicken. We have no pickles in our potato salad. I use my mom's recipe. Everybody seems to love their mom's potato salad!

Mandy! I just want to say that I love your recipes you make! So glad I found your vlog❤️❤️

Going to try these recipes because my family loves cheese and I hate it, so I like that I can leave it off on the sandwich one & I think I can make part of the salsa chicken without cheese, too, hoping it still turns out good. That Spanish rice looks amazing, definitely inspired me to make my own rather than buying pre-made

Yassss! Like sometimes it feel so daunting to get going in kitchen!

All of the dinners looked so good 👍 😋 Thank you!!! Can't wait to try the subbie sandwich!

Call of the Wild? We were tour guides in Alaska - loved it and miss Alaska every day!

OMG...I made this for dinner....I added my cilantro to my meat saute, as well as some lime juice and 1/4 tsp of allspice...finished with fontina cheese...did a between so cheese was layered...OMG!!! So GOOD SO KEEPING THIS with my changes...LOVE IT

I'm not sure if you've tried it or not but when i make potatoe salad almost like yours i mix my mayo and mustard with salt and pepper into a "sauce" then mixit into my potatoes, eggs, and veggies... Just a little tip to maybe help... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND FAMILY!!!

Ya'll are just the cutest!!!

You make Tex-Mex rice. Looks delicious, but I prefer Mexican rice like a Mexican restaurant or from Mexico. Mexican rice, you would only add a half of the can of tomatoes if you are using canned. Omit the chili powder. Add onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, a tablespoon of Knorr chicken bouillon powder, and less tomato. Tex-Mex rice is very tomato like, and Mexican rice is a light pink. Love your recipes and your family!

Togo best movie ever!!! We got 2 huskies 😍

Mandy you guys are so much fun! You genuinely have fun and laugh together w Steve! Very enjoyable to see 💛💛💛. So like your WFD videos! 🌻 Great dinners. Give Gracie Lou a hug & kiss from me! 💛

That chicken Spanish rice bowl looks like a winner. Chicken sand yes

Bobby dee !! Franks deli after school always hit the spot

I love Cole's reaction. 😁 I've never heard of putting sugar in a potato salad, but then again I put sweet pickles in mine. 🙋‍♀️💜

Something that changed my cooking life…… Mexican Oregano!!!! Once you use it, you will want to use it in every Mexican dish!!!!

I love that you substitute when you are missing something I do that all the time too.

Love your videos and appreciate it more so because of your headache. Steven is such great husband and dad.... Cole was so funny getting up and giving you the TD sign and sneaking in the picture. He’s a great young man. Credit to both you n your husband raising him. Your recipes are delicious and want to try them. Thanks for sharing.....

If you want you can take out some of the inside of the bread to have it be a bit smaller and less puffy. I also do it to save a bit on calories sometimes

when I say i watched a quarter of one video and subscribed.... I mean it!! and then I see NO. 59 and I'm like OHHH HONEY I'm GOING TO BE BINGINGGGGGGGG :D

Oh Mandy Yeeeeees I feel like that a lot lately I’ve been cooking for over 50 years & just get tired of cooking 😩🤭🤫 when I watch your videos I imagine you are cooking for me 😛🥰🤣😂🤣😂🤣

If you want your rice tippee extra yummy may I make a suggestion? Go past the translucent stage on the rice until it is brown and toasty. I usually add a little bit of onion while it's toasting but that's up to you. At this point you add a small can of tomato sauce and your spices. 2 cups chicken broth is added next. Bring this all to a boil reduce heat to the lowest setting on your stove and simmer for exactly 18 minutes it sounds funny but it has to be exactly 18 minutes do not remove the lid do not stir the rice do not disturb it in anyway. Once the 18 minutes is up turned the rice off leave it to rest covered for 5 minutes. Then uncover and fluff with a fork it will be the best race you ever had I promise you.!

I thought the chicken sounded Italian but you made it seem like a Spanish or tex mex meal and I’m glad I’m not the only one who tries to cater to my kids’ likes and dislikes. You and Steven have a great dynamic together. You both are so real. I have a Steve of my own, a big and a Jr. He’s 5 and is the funniest kid. This video had me rolling and I appreciate that when I’m watching videos on here. Keep doing what you’re doing cuz you are loved!! I’m new to your channel but I’ve been catching up! And I love every one!!

Love watching you and your meal preps! I used to cut avocado that way till I sliced a finger! Lol! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now I slice it in half, and push the seed out from the skin side and it pops right out! Please try it! Your fingers will thank you! Thank you for sharing your awesome videos with us! You’re amazing! ❤️🙏☝🏼

Here's a suggestion that I heard about from somewhere AGES ago. I tried it and I really liked the results. Super simple. Just after you drain the potatoes while they are still piping hot, toss them around with your favorite kind of vinegar. I like red wine vinegar, but any kind should do. Just use 2 or 3 teaspoons, and the hot potatoes soak it in and it adds a nice subtle tang. YUMMMM.

Gracie Lou loves your cheese crater too, Mandy...LOL! I never heard of anyone allergic of avacado before. I love Mandy in the Making the very best!

Aww I thought it was so cool your husband jumped in there while you filmed. You guys are an awesome team together.

Mandy I have only watched your channel for about 3 weeks and I love it. I really enjoyed the week that you included a leftover recipe also. With groceries are so expensive, I really need to know how fix all food and not throwing it out. Keep up the good job and God bless you and your family ❤️
