Yum, yum!!! 😋
Everything looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
As usual, EVERYTHING looks delicious!!! Can’t wait to make the cookies!!😋 Thank you for sharing!!
I must try your butternut squash recipe. Looks amazing. I always peel my squash. The peel is so tough. Does it soften enough when it's roasted?
I would be very interested in you making a video on your hormone replacement therapy. I know you'd mentioned a patch but I'd like to know the entirety of your treatment. Also, helpful would be the total cost for you and how often you go for bloodwork and or treatment. The hour glass to APPLE shape after a complete hysterotomy is a real thing. You obviously have been spared.
Thank you for sharing, Renee! I want to make the cookies, but with pecans.
Great cooking video Renee!
I'm on a diet at the moment, so no biscuits, cakes, ice cream or chocolate.
Cheers! Dave, UK.
🇬🇧
Ll be making the pork & onions for sure. Thank you
Those all looked yummy, and I think I'll be making all of them!🌿
So excited to try all of these. Thank you for sharing!❤
All the food looks delicious 😋😋
Thanks for sharing❤ great recipes. You are so good at describing everything. I want those cookies right now!!
Love your recipes and the rest of your content! And who doesn’t love ranch? 😆🥰
Be safe this week with the storms coming in. ❤
Hi Renee’- Love your cooking episodes. 😋 such great ideas. * If one doesn’t have a burger press, just use the bottom of a pot, better results ( more meat juices retained) if ‘smashed’ prior to putting on the very hot cooking surface. THANKS!❤❤❤
Love to see these videos! I like your Amazon reviews, but I've really missed this type of content. ❤
Renee, thank you for your wonderful recipes!😋😋😋. I will start with the cookies. I will make them some with raisins only and others with chocolates and raisins as well as chocolate only😋. I will make them over the weekend.😊😍😍
Thanks for sharing, it all looks delicious! I'd also like to tell you thanks for recommending the Absorbine silver honey, i used it on the spot on my dogs neck and it worked amazingly well. Have a great day!
Your head of hair is amazing!!! XOXO. and I LOVE your dogs!!! XOXOXO. Renee, had a bad thunderstorm here last night, tried those drops you recommended in previuos video but they did nothing… am I doing something wrong?? My dog is about 30 lbs and I put 4 drops on a biscuit for her about 20 minutes before the storm got really bad. … she stilll went berserk …LOL
Pork roast looks beautiful but is that all you eat???? LOL. I would eat much more…LOL
My mouth is watering. Everything looks delicious.
I want to make All of these recipes! I did get your instant read meat thermometer during Amazon Spring specials & I Love it! As always Thank you for the recipes & good things to purchase!❤
Renee,
Everything looks fantastic and I bet was delicious. I personally do not like to cook 😅but I can cook. I am however confused on the burgers with adding mustard, my husband would refuse to eat it if he saw me putting mustard as a spice. I guess I will try it when he is at work and then if it doesn't taste like mustard then problem solved.
Thank you both for this video. I’m going to try these. ❤❤❤
Oh my those carmelized onions on the tenderloin looks heavenly..my mouth is watering
I love your cooking videos! You are so good. Everything looked so yummy – the onions with the pork roast, the cookies, and the smash burgers. I need to try them all and I hate to cook! 🤦♀️ Thank you so much, Renee! 😊
Love love love this video. Every recipe looks delicious and I’m going to try them all. Plus, you are so cute!❤
Ohhh, I love when Renee’s cooking! Thank you for sharing ❤
Woweee!! Everything looks delicious!! I would love to try the orzo dish, but I'd have to convince my husband to eat it! And the pork roast, oh my that's look good.
Where do you find these scrumptious recipes?
You have to try lipton onion soup mix and worestshire sauce in your burgers. Mix it in and then i put my burgers in the oven.
Does the Toffee Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookies
make 1 pan full or more with this recipe?
I am going to try the caramelized onions on a pork tenderloin. Looks delicious. Thank you!
Those all looked really good. I love pork tenderloin. And will be trying that recipe first. And I could eat all the cookies myself. My daughter and her family is supposed to come and visit soon. So I’ll make the cookies for them. My daughter and all of her younger kids are vegetarians. So I’m not sure what meals I’ll make for them. Probably pasta. I have orzo, but I’m sure they’ve never had it. So it will probably just be spaghetti.
Renee, I swear I saw you and your curls on the Oprah Winifry special for menopause yesterday 😂
