Parsley Potatoes:
Cook small red potatoes.
Melt some butter. Add salt, garlic powder, parsley, a bit of lemon juice to it. Pour over potatoes and stir. Serve! We like to also eat them with sour cream and/or shredded cheese.

Mashed Potatoes:
This recipe is just a bit of a gauge as to how much. It's not specific. Add more or less milk if needed. As well as season to taste.

5lb bag of Red Potatoes
6oz cream cheese
1 c. sour cream
about 1 can evaporated milk (or regular can be used) adjust the amount as needed.
salt & garlic powder to taste.
Directions:
Boil potatoes. Drain completely. Pour into mixer bowl. Mash Potatoes, stirring several times. Do not add liquids until smooth. Then add Butter, salt & Garlic. Once whipped, add cream cheese & sour cream. Then begin by slowly adding milk until you reach the desired consistency. Stir and scrape the bowl a few times.
Then brown butter on the stove. And after you’re potatoes are heated and ready to serve, add the butter to the top.

YUM!! Don't ever skip sharing the easy peasy recipes (naan bread pizzas) because we all need inspiration and ideas when we don't feel like making a 3-course meal. Thank you!

[leeslabach]

For custard pie, add about half a teaspoon of lemon extract and half the vanilla. The extract makes a huge difference!

Next time you do a roast, try this! My mom cooks her chuck roast on low for 12 hours with 1 pkg ranch mix 1 pkg Italian dressing mix and 1 pkg brown gravy mix with approximately 1 cup of water (just eyeball it)… it turns out EXTREMELY moist and tender every time! My absolute favorite meal. 🤤

Hello Lynette! I am a childless woman living in Poland but your videos have been really inspiring to me, despite not being a homemaker, nor even a Christian. I guess some values are truly universal! I love the recipes you provided in this video, will try to cook these as well. Greetings!

[vjohnson]

Your custard pie looked amazing. When I make mine I sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on top, it takes it to the next level.

[whateverism]

I make my pot roast the same as you. I’ve recently began adding 1-2 tsp of tomato paste. It’s fantastic and now use it in all of my beef dishes. Custard anything is my favorite desert. Your pie looks delicious!! I add vanilla and nutmeg. 😋 Our weekends are easy meal preps too! On Fridays, when the kids were in school yet, I’d make pizzas using flour tortillas. They make a great thin crust. I’d make a pan of taco meat and coat it with tomatoes, onions, olives, cheese, etc. and serve with sour cream and lettuce on the side. The kids loved it and make it for their kids today. Thanks Lynette!

Love seeing Lil Harper getting in on the cooking action! My guess is that she’s always gonna be your helper in the kitchen! Great video Lynette - Thanks!

[cindakellogg]

I grew up in Kansas and we had a large mennonite community. There was a particular restaurant we would stop at...the food was to die for! So, so good! Everyone there was so sweet and helpful...I live in New Mexico now so I really miss that wonderful food. Take care! I'll help you with that pie..I love custard pie! YUM

[lindap]

Thanks for some great meal ideas. Definitely was hungry after watching.

[bluekatgal]

I love to cook and watch others do so. I made Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners with my mom for 30 + years. Her recipes the same used by her mom and grandma. Dressing was made from scratch using home baked biscuits and cornbread she baked early and froze. She thawed them out that morning and we put the bird in the oven and we went to church. In my family recipe sharing was the language of love and my granddaughter now makes the meals the same way. I love how you cook since it reminds me of my mom and grandma’s ways. Thank you for kindly sharing.

[marciejones]

It’s always so great to see the children. 🥰

[jab]

Thank you, Lynette for introducing me to Walnut Creek Foods. I can reliably count on the quality and taste of the foods. I am so fortunate to be able to acknowledge a little country store named Peights in Mount Union, Pa from central Pennsylvania, where I live. I adore you and your Family and pray that God continues to bless you all.

[marialaguer]

I made the custard pie. Hubby loved it! I am by no means a baker, but I really appreciate your videos. Thank you! You never know who these videos are influencing. ❤ God bless you.

[LYMillValley]

I heat up the canned evaporated milk and add that to my mashed potatoes. Makes them so yummy! All your meals look so amazingly delicious!

[Soap__]

Looks amazing. For the beef if it ends up dry its because its lean and you are over cooking it. I made the same mistake doing beef stew. Solution i found was just to lightly sear the beef and let it finish cooking via the simmering segment of the stew. I was cooking the beef for roughly 5 minutes before adding my liquids but to keep the stewing beef tender i ended up changing to searing it in a hot pot or pan for about 30 seconds per side. Amazing the difference it made.

[peterwhite]

Every recipe looked delicious. The children are growing fast. Harper walking is adorable. ❤

[geraldineklatt]

Everything looks delicious, awesome children I love the potato peeler’s expression 🙏🫶🇺🇸

[marypuca]

Omg Lynette my mouth is watering, everything looks yummy, love seeing Harper, her sweet smiling face is just so lovable

[conniewright]

I use an ENGLISH Roast. More meat - less fat - I put it in the crock Pot the night before for a 2:00 o'clock late Lunch early dinner. Then with the leftover broth & vegetables & meat I make vegetable beef soup or beef n' noodles. Nothing goes to waste. 2 meals for the price of one. My mom made the best custard pie (dad's favorite) she heated the milk & slowly stirred in the eggs so they didn't scramble up on her. I remember she put in nutmeg. My daughter has her recipes, I can't remember all of it. Things you miss later in life after they are gone.

[PNWShanaLee]

Chuck is our favorite, either at 350 for 2hrs tight foil cover and half cup water or crockpot, less time when smaller roast. I ALWAYS TAG YOU when Im talking to someone about brown butter and mashed taters online, I don’t want my mash any other way now!! You are the best! 🍽️
