For Christmas it's just my boyfriend and me this year and we are doing bolognese with handmade pasta and tiramisu for dessert. Can't wait!

I like to cook but it’s been a long time since my children lived at home. My husband and I direct most of our cooking towards health and weight control! Your menus and food prep look so fun and delicious! I’m motivated to make a few of your recipes to bring to our family potluck. Thank you for adding something so enjoyable to my life!

Hello Beth, I just found your channel today when I was looking for Eggnog recipes. I found you and your dad. YAY! I loved it. Now I have fallen down the rabbit hole and I see no way out. :-) You are wonderful. You explain things so well and I love your game plans. Subbed

[vanessamair]

Wow, delicious recipes and I love the game plan at the end! So well organized! Thanks for the inspiration!

[servantrose]

Beth you are amazing. I love your energy and care for hospitality

I watched your three easy appetizers which included your French Onion dip. I made and served it to our guests with the Kettle Chips you suggested. It was a huge success and I'll be making it again.
I also 'heard' your excellent suggestion of serving this dip in a small serving dish on a pedestal. I didn't have any BUT I have several beautiful small bowls and strangely I had just purchased from, Goodwill, four random pedestals. So I hot glued those pedestals to three bowls and a few people asked where is got those beautiful bowls.
Today, I hit the Goodwill again and found two pedestal small glass serving bowls and one glass bowl with feet. I'm in love with this elegant idea.
Thank you for the keeper appetizer recipes and serving bowl idea!- ❤
