Abby lol I love how you are so original on YT and you don’t have to make yourself look put together every single time. Thank you for being just you. 💕

Texas caviar is absolutely amazing!!! Although mine is a bit different. I do a combo of yellow, red, orange, and green pepper, jalapeno, red onion, shoe peg corn, celery, black beans, and red kidney beans. For the sauce veg oil, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and splash of water. ....totally out of this world!!

[veronicacanisalez]

How about a video of the favorite dishes your husband loves that you cook. I have 2 boys and sometimes when I cook healthy their like mom where’s the meat lol

I used snowboard googles(don’t laugh) when cutting onions until I finally got a chopper. Game changer!

Adding feta cheese to the Greek salad would finish it off nicely.

Ok biggest take away~ brilliant!! dump ranch packet into the sour cream tub!!! #mind blown 😂 here i thought i was the queen of not using extra dishes!!! Love that trick & those potatoes&all of it look yummy.

[WilletteB]

All these are lake worthy and would taste great with grilled pork, chicken or beef.

Watching from a hotel laundry room washing camping clothes. Love the broccoli salad! I add cauliflower and use stevia, to the mayo and vinegar. Yum!

[sandymyers]

Good to see that I’m not the only one that smacks that lid down

[bethanyg]

Try subbing lime juice for the apple cider vinegar. It’s amazing!!! Living in CA for the past 6 years, it seems like citrus just crawls into my house. Like literally someone is always asking if they can give me some, but lime substituted in broccoli salad is my hands down favorite thing I’ve tried with lime. Give it a try!

[sherreepeterson]

Every dish you made looked delish, I’ll be trying them all. Question, what are your favorite you tubers to watch?

[jeannetonnar]

Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to try the broccoli salad and the potato salad…who doesn’t love potatoes, ranch, and bacon with cheese!!!

Similar to the Texas Caviar, we make a dip with corn, gorbanzo beans, red onion, bell pepper, ranch season pack and bottle Italian dressing. So good!!

I do the potato ranch with ranch powder and sour cream. I sometimes substitute with plain yogurt. One of my favorite recipes. And everyone loves it
