I love crockpots so much that I have 8 different ones. I even had a neighbor build shelves in a storage room we have next the laundry room and it’s called the crockpot room.
Love your recipes.
Great meals!
You are so cheerful, so much help, & such a blessing!! ❤
I have a few myself,awesome video thanks Mel 🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻❤️
So good of you to help out family with a meal. I had to laugh when you talked about crock pots! I have SEVEN! From the gravy boat one to a 6 qt. And yes, I have a favorite one too❤
🎉 Happy New Year Mel! 😊
I'm glad you are feeling better. These look so good, thanks for sharing them.
All of these look super delicious as always!
I have the same black croc pot Walmart one not so big and the foodie too lol 😊
Mel, I thought I was the only one that wears 2 pair of glasses at the same time! Sometimes I wear a pair to look for them…and they're already on my face!
Delicious! Glad you're back and home everyone is on the mend! I also have a few crockpots. If you use them, you can never have enough. I like to cook whole potatoes and whole or larger pieces of squash in them too.
I’ve made the “smothered” pork chops quite a bit and I highly recommend using as much “low sodium” ingredients as you can find. The last time I made it without using low sodium chicken soup and chicken broth and it was almost inedible.
❤❤❤ happy 2025 from Charlotte North Carolina🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻❤❤❤ my family to your family🥃🥃🥃
Great tips Momma Mel!
Sister I'm an immune patient am I getting infusions every 4 weeks and I don't say the sickness because I believe it's straight on the plague😂 I've been so miserable😢 Mucinex both kinds vitamin C zinc D3 will have your right as rain😊 blessings and much love
Hello Mama Mel!
I❤my crockpot too,I have 2 of them myself. I have the exact 1st 2 that you have and love them.
Thanks for sharing these recipes. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Can't wait to see what's in store for 2025. ❤Nancy
Mire-pwah is how you pronounce that.
Lovely video! I love my crockpot and can’t wait to try these recipes ❤
So glad you’re back. I sincerely hope you and the family are well
Hi – I used to receive Wildgrain boxes and this video made me realize how much I miss their products and signed up again – thanks so much!
Funny…
😂😂😂
I’m exactly the same with the Crock pots..
I am a Pastor’s wife… I actually keep my 9 qt at church so I can just take my ingredients to church and dump them in there for fellowships, etc. And boy I do love my 4 qt one too. I use it for everything. We are Empty Nesters so it’s just perfect for us. My hubby just had a liver transplant and we were in Phoenix Mayo Clinic in a Hotel for 4 months… it was such a blessing for me. We had a kitchenette, but no over or stove.
And then of course I have my 6qt with the LSU design that I love too.. for all my Cajun treats.
Sending best wishes.. love your videos. I don’t get to cook like I used to with heavy creams and lots of cheeses, but I can still use the recipes here and adapt them for our low fat, lower salt diets.
Thank you.. ❤
I’m cleaning out the pantry and freezer here too. These all look so good as usual. I love my crockpots too. Thanks for more great inspiration.
Yummy looking meals! Thanks!! ❤
Hi Mel,my name is Rhonda. I love your program. I'm very interested to know where you got that cutting board that rests on top of your stove?
Hope your family is feeling better. Love how down to Earth you are and enjoy your recipes! That's what keeps me coming back! 😉
I love your crockpot recipes. I’ve never had Velveta so I’m not sure about that one. But I’m a pork chop lover through and through. I’m going to check out Wildgrain and see if I can afford it. I do get my meat delivered so it might work. Thanks for sharing your kitchen with us. ❣️
Does anyone know how much the Wildgrain cost? I checked the website, but, can’t find anything that says unless you subscribe.
Love your channel and I've tried a lot of your recipes 😋 gotta say you make me giggle with your commentary 😅
❤❤❤
Gotta ask, were you sneaking a piece of fudge while you were cooking the cheesy pasta😂? I just thought maybe you were 😂
New subscriber here, and pretty new to crock pot cooking as well. My hub’s fav meat is pork chops, so I really want to try these. We only have bone-in thick cuts in the freezer… have you used bone-in for this recipe? Any changes you’d suggest?
