all those sound really good
They all look wonderful! Could do without the music it was too loud and was distracting.
Merry Christmas and Thank you for all you do 😊🎅🤶🎄🎄☃️⛄️🐮🧸🦌🧑🎄🎁
I’m going to make a couple of these this weekend for our family Christmas. ❤
Hi mel thank you for these amazing appetizers yummy looking merry christmas 🎅 🎄 to you and your family god bless you all 🙏🎅🎄♥️🙏
All require too much time.
I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, May our Lord and Savior bless you .🎄✝️
Ooo, gonna try these recipes. We dip our sausage balls in ranch. So good!
Love the appetizers and snacks ❤
All these recipes looks so yummy..oh mel what would we do without u and all the work u do for us for these appetizers..u save us alot of work deciding what to make. Thanku for all u do and have a wonderful blessed day ❤❤
Momma M! Love your channel, from Alabama!
😊
I hate those tubes that sausage comes in – always gobs left in the folds at each end. I wish they'd come up with a better system. I bet if you froze the Boursin before baking, it would hold its shape better.
I'm going to make the Rotel Sausage Balls. I was going to make the Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls but thought I'd give the Rotel ones a try. I'll freeze most and take them with us on Christmas. I have everything needed so I might make both, and see which ones go over best.
Prayers for you and your family. ❤
Me will you do an haul soon just curious good on the recipes love anything you do 😊❤❤
I love my little strainer
I love Boursin cheese! My local Publix carries a variety of flavors. I have made a sauce for a chicken recipe. Delicious 😋 great ricipes, Momma Mel 😊
Mel everything looks so delicious,thanks
My husband can’t eat dairy. Wish there were more options for those recipes.
I love this!!!!! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!!! 🎄🎁 💕
Great appetizers
Please throw all those measuring tools in the trash. Measure with your heart. I dont even own any measuring tools. You actually measured an eighth of a teaspoon of an herb? Oh my.
“All the cool kids” sentiment cracked me up … you’re who I seek out for recipe ideas – so you’re the cool kid!!! ❤ Merry Christmas – these look delicious!
Great recipes…..the spinach dip would be mine also. Must try ❤❤❤
I am obsessed with Boursin too. Im making something with it to share this week as well! I love these holiday videos from you! So many good ideas to try!
Yummy!!!
Can you do that cheese thing without honey??
The puff pastry cups look so good!!! Been watching you lately and I love your recipes!!!! First time I’ve heard of the Borsin cheese ! Will be try it!!!!
Hey Mel can you send me the name of the jam/jellies you talk about on here all the time that are local to you.
I wanna bite of those sausage balls, I love just about anything Boursin and that dip! Every time I see appetizers I pictures tailgate or football get togethers. Thanks for making my next one easier. Sausage balls here I come!
Everything looked delicious! Have a great week Mel!
These all looked delicious but I don't know what world you live in but these are not inexpensive
These look so good. I, too, thought the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay mix was the best, quess I'll be trying these for the kids, grands, hubby & myself for Christmas day 😅.
Caprese Puff would be a good name for the puff pastry appetizer.
I love your videos and I will definitely check out the game
Sister I always have to make cheese balls some of them were requested as presents😂 it's a recipe I learned back when I was 20 from an old lady at JCPenney credit office where I worked. But this year the kids are going to get that baked Boursin as well. It has sin in the name so you know it has to be a great temptation😂 blessings and much love
Try a Walmart boneless spiral ham in the purple and put brown sugar with cranberry juice together and mix with a fork and pour it on top of ham and bake for 15 minutes and then pour the other half on and let it bake for another 15 minutes
Yummy 😋
Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes! I look forward to trying some!! 😋❤️
Thank you for making cooking simple and yummy. FYI if you belong to a Sam’s Club or similar I get the borsin cheese in by a three pack at Cosco. 2 herb & garlic & 1 chive & garlic. They keep a while in refrig and 3 pack is economical.
Have a beautiful Christmas Season❣️
Mama Mel~could I use a corn bread mix instead of bisquick for those sausage balls?
I love, love that your cupcake tin was as used up and beautiful as mine (and most peoples!) There is nothing fake about you, Mel! and you already know what a kick I get out of your honey. He is so sweet to eat in front of the camera for you (for us) even though you just know he's not one for the spot-light! Lol! Merry Christmas to y'all!
Hey Mel!
I ❤ your channel. Thanks for sharing these recipes, diffently going to make these appetizers for our family Christmas gathering. I make sausage balls and freeze them like you do too,diffently looking forward to making the rotel sausage balls.
Did you make that wooden cover over your stove? That's nice. ❤ Nancy
Yummm, I have to try the puff pastry with the tomatoes, almost like a caprese salad. Just a tip when you are using dried herbs like the Italian seasoning, rub it in your hands before you put it in your recipes, it wakes them up a bit.
Do you have a cookbook I can order for Christmas?
Bet would be good over pasta
Happy holidays mel I hope your enjoying them❤❤❤
Great recipes!my husband is the same way with tomatoes
