Hi Mandy and family, I’m a 72 yr old retired engineering grandpa who lives sorta up the road from you now in Fort Mill, SC. by Charlotte. I lived & worked In Greenville, SC from 1985 to 2000 then Colorado tillI returning here to be with my family and grandkids. I enjoy your cooking shows, it’s great that you use the same local ingredients that I can get like Food Lion. Also the best is I have the same stove that you do, so when you show medium high, I know exactly what it is! I see you’re Clemson fans, my grandson goes to their soccer camp every summer and I was there in the rain last year. My daughter’s birthday is tomorrow, I got her the meat masher and other utensils that I see you use. I enjoy your family shenanigans and I’m not a cat guy but I like Gracie and her cheese!

I also have a Gracie cat, found her on our farm at 4 weeks old Mama had gotten run over in the road. It was late at night and we heard her crying, that’s the reason for the name Gracie because if we hadn’t found her we’re sure the coyotes would have so we’ve always said she was saved by the GRACE OF GOD! We always enjoy your family and delicious meals, I always pull out my pen and recipe cards so I’m ready to jot down something good! Also live in SC in the Lake Murray area. ❤

Mandy... I made creamy beefy taco soup tonight, and while I changed the recipe a bit from what you did, it was an absolute HIT! I love recipes like this that you can tweak to your family's preferences and/or what you have on hand at the moment. I really love (and my family too) soup, especially in the cooler months, and I truly think this soup might be the best I've ever made. THANK YOU as always for the inspiration :) I think next week I might do the orzo - it feels like a slightly less refined version of risotto but also very delicious!!

Hello Miss Gracie Lou ❤…, Mandy, regarding your banana - if you don’t have plans for it, if you mash it up well and add to a mixed up chocolate cake by stirring until it’s well combined, then bake per the directions, you’ll get the moistest cake you’ve ever had and you’ll never know there’s a banana in it. Trust me, it’s amazing. Oh, the recipes in this video look wonderful!!❤

Hi Mandy, I love your videos and have been particularly impressed with the utensil you use to break up ground meat, or minced meat as we call it in the UK. My brother and I share a home and the cooking, too. He just told me that he'd watched a video last night of someone using a really handy tool to break up meat in her cooking pot. "Was it Mandy in the Making, an American girl?" I asked. "No idea" he said. "She's from the South, from Carolina..." but still "No idea" was the reply so I played a little of your latest video to him. As soon as he saw Gracie Lou he said "Yes, that's the one! I remember the cat!" and a minute later he was ordering a similar tool on Amazon. Mystery solved 😂😂😂!
