  1. I'm busy fasting right now and while it is quite torturous to watch your videos (lol), I just can't help it, your food always looks so amazing and so simple for us to recreate, which I absolutely love!

  2. Thank you so much Natasha!!! I am cooking this meal sunday. You are an amazing chef, teacher, wife and mother. Thank you for taking the time out to do these videos for us❤❤❤

  3. spotted sharkie gobbling up some of the crispy bacon…too funny 🙂 lovely looking easy dish, can't wait to try – thanks for the great content

  4. Lol I guess I use a lot of cheese bc you kept talking about how much cheese was on these and I was thinking it didn’t seem like much at all 😳

  5. I saw your cookbook right at the checkout stand of Walmart… Right up front where everybody can see your smiling face but I did not see sharky on the cover?

  6. looks so delicious. and mashed taters, we all know, everything is better with butter. 🙂

  7. Sharky is such a little thief, stealing some bacon at about 3 minutes. I know what dinner will be tomorrow. Thank you for sharing & tempting.

  8. This Monterey chicken was amazing!! My husband had seconds, that’s always a great sign! So flavorful too! This will definitely be on repeat!! Thank you! 🙌🏻

  9. Have an idea for a great recipe. Let's get your hubby in front of the camera to show us how he makes his mashed potatoes that accompanied your baked salmon recipe. Would be great payback for the leaf blower fiasco! 🙂

  10. Recipe looks great and delicious even for serving using the receipt exactly as is for making tacos! Umm, umm! Two recipes in one. Love to watch your videos!❤ Cecilia Rodriguez

  11. Made this today on stove top & cast iron. Smoked up the house pretty good (My fault) but the meal turned out great! Big hit with the wife. Thank you!

  12. Copycat Recipe REQUEST: Olive Garden’s Pasta e Fagioli soup!
    I have a recipe, and it’s okay, but it misses the flavor mark compared to Olive Garden’s house recipe.
