We’re seeing evidence of Spring all over East Tennessee this week and I’ve been out here enjoying it! As soon as those little daffodils pop up my mind goes to rides thru the mountains, Easter, and picnics. And this video is going to reflect that. All the recipes are still quick and easy, perfect for a picnic or a quick and easy dinner at home, and every single one is just gonna give us a fresh breath of spring air. There’s not a casserole in sight tonight, and… I’m ok with that.

  • Mama Mel- I just gotta say I loved that you said "the grand-cat" was there. I am a cat lover, & you made me love ya even more than I already did by talking so sweet about that darling fur baby. Hope she heals up from her procedure real quick. 😻
  • Mel I love your channel and all of your recipes. As a cat lover I loved seeing your grand cat. The little suit was so cute. My headphones broke and my husband does not like hearing the iPad so I am a little behind in my viewing. I am loving every second of these dishes.
  • @MrsAlmaTrumble
    UPDATE!! I had my doctors appointment this past week about the migraines. I have another sinus infection. I have a CT scan on the 27th of this month and to see a neurologist. I'm a little nervous about the CT scan. I ask y'all to please continue to pray for me. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
  • @melbogard8702
    Mel you made me crack up with the brewing of the tea bags and going to school uphill both ways, that's what i tell my kids lol
  • @benakamyar135
    I love watching your videos. Every night when I put my kids to be and clean the kitchen I watch your videos. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable treat for me. Thank you for putting all the work to make these videos
  • Hi Mel, Everything looked so good. I'm so glad you don't have to make your fruity tea on the stove anymore like a peasant. 😂Your grandcat is a beautiful baby.💕
  • @cindym7234
    I about died laughing at your "back in my day" story! 🤣🤣🤣 I must've watched it 10 times! 😁 Everything you made looks delicious. I will make all of it in the coming weeks! Thank you, Mel, for all your hard work putting out videos. I really appreciate it. Love from Texas ❤
  • OMG I watch about all of your videos and I'm not much on commenting but when you was talking about backing your day I literally laughed out loud because I can hear my grandmother and grandfather saying the same thing and if I'm guessing me and you are about the same age I'll be 50 in October but truly hilarious and I would love to know what video I can find your potato cake recipe I live in Southeastern Kentucky so I'm really familiar with Tennessee Love you videos Thank you
  • Try getting your salami shaved or chipped! It makes the salami so much more flavorful!
  • @AxlezBubby
    After hearing about these jams for so long, I am heading to their site to browse and order when I am finished here. I am a sucker for ALL of the fruity flavors paired with something savory. Thanks for another great line-up of recipe ideas. I have the ingredients for 2 of them, so that'll be dinner tomorrow. 😊 Thanks so much for posting these very valuable ideas. It really does stink to get in a rut but being able to go back and watch some of your older videos is always just right at my fingertips. Momma Mel to the rescue!!😊 God Bless friend 🧡
  • @mlc74
    Loved the “back in the day” side video. 😂😂 those sandwiches look amazing!! And loved your grand kitty!!! ❤
  • @cherylgudde580
    I was thinking that I'd add some real bacon (torn or cut up) to the pasta salad!! Maybe even add a bit of fresh dill would be delish!! Thank u for sharing all ur recipes!! Love from Alaska❤️😊❤️
  • @AlishaCrase
