I wanted inspiration for Thanksgiving dinner because it’s my first time cooking for Thanksgiving . I’m 17 . Everything looks so yummy and you’re so beautiful!
Aww, thank you so much! You're gonna kill it! You got this!
Aww you will do awesome! Every year you will get better and better.
So young but you go to start somewhere hope you did well
I like how everybody decided to watch this within the last week
Lol it's about that time
Way to call me out😂😂😂
Lol
Gotta make my own stuff because of covid😭My state is shutting down again.
🙋🏾♀️That’s me 😂
She did that! And it was satisfying to watch, very relaxing without the unnecessary sounds people do in their videos now. 🦃 ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
This video always gets me excited about Thanksgiving!
I'm so glad. Happy Holidays!
Ma’am one more thing....we gonna need a WHOLE tutorial on cutting up that bird....that was AMAZING all by itself.
That's a good idea.
Yesssss plz do this!
Exactly ❤️🙌🏾
im late but i was like.....um master chef turkey cutter, lol
@@autobotdiva9268 girl! I think that was a once in a lifetime thing. Idk about that. Lol
Happy Thanksgiving 2021! I just came across your video today and couldn’t stop myself from jumping up and down!! I will have you going in the kitchen with me next week. I’m not great with eyeballing measurements but I’m letting you take the lead😂I KNOW you’re going to have me throwing down in the kitchen. SO inspired right now. Running to the store now. THANK YOU!!
Lol you're so welcome!! 💕💕
.
I need your energy! You did an excellent job! You're a blessing to your family!
Thank you! Have you ever tried cooking over a couple days so it's not so overwhelming? I might do that this year.
Wow a fantastic meal. I sent it to all my friends that are cooking or bringing a dish. This is a fantastic video. Thank you, God Bless You 😇
Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you and yours! 🍗🍖🥰
Girl, you were jamming in that kitchen. I loved the way you broke down that Turkey that was truly skillful. I am prepping a couple of days in advance as usual. I am really going to use some of your time management techniques. I Love to cook but ALL day is the kitchen for Thanksgiving will be a thing of the past thanks to you🥰
Aww, thanks! I hope you can get it done in 4 or 5 hours and have the rest of the day to enjoy yourself. Happy Thanksgiving!
This was so well done. Very informative. I really liked how you just got right to it. No long intros, no long speeches. Thank you for sharing. I will certainly be using your recipes this Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Happy Holidays! 💕
I truly enjoyed this AND got some new ideas! Thank you for taking the time to share girl!
You are so welcome!
Girl, this popped up in my recommendations!! This was so nice to watch!! Thanks again-Michigan!!💃🌞
Lol, I'm so glad you stopped by!
I missed out on thanksgiving last year with my family because of the army but I get to enjoy thanksgiving this year with them and my husband is wanting me to go all out lol that’s exactly what ima do!!😭
Oooooh, u gotta show out this year!!! Lol
This was very enjoyable. The banana pudding was a nice touch! And I’ve never seen a turkey broken down like that, wow. The herbs on the turkey pieces looked so yummy. Herbs are my thing.
I love herbs more and more the older I get.
You are an absolute Goddess!!! You have saved me from food poisoning everyone! Thank youuuuuu!!!!!
Happy THANKSGIVING!
Lol, call me Aphrodite! 😂😂 I'll take that! Happy Thanksgiving!
You’re daughter is so precious 💕 Thank you for sharing your recipes!
You're welcome! And thank you! 💕
And those yams look BOMB.. actually everything looks bomb 😩😍
Thank you!
Everything looks sooo Good!!!! I had to stop the video after watching how you did the pudding!!! I went to my pantry and found some vanilla pudding mix and made it your way... OMG The texture!! Like eating a pudding cloud!!! TFS ✌️❤️
Yes! It's all about the texture. It's sooooo good! 🥰
I been watching this video for the last two years. It always makes me excited for thanksgiving and gets me in the mood to cook. I got some good pointers as well. Thanks for sharing ❤
You're welcome!
You are amazing!! You made almost every thing I would make except for the brocolli casserole and squash casserole and the dressing. Thank you sweet lady!!
cornstarch slurry into the candy sweet potatoes makes a pretty glaze. Thank you for sharing this with us! I really enjoy the way you cook and don't obsess over fussy details. That's how I cook, too.
Ooh, that's actually a good idea.
Yaaaaaassss sugar lol it’s the holidays people....girl you did that!!! I can’t wait for thanksgiving 2020. And I like that you cut up the turkey takes less time to cook #smart TFS❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Ain't no sweet potatoes without a pound of sugar! Lol it's only once or twice a year. It's supposed to taste amazing not be healthy.
@@DanielleLaShawn LOL EXACTLY
You did an amazing job! I'm gonna either cut my turkey apart like you did or do the upside down turkey like other videos showed. I might do both to compare. Either way thank you so much for showing how you cook your Thanksgiving meal. I'm definitely going to make that banana pudding though this year! It looked so good. I love how you know the measurements by just looking...awesome!
Thank you! I've never tried the turkey upside down but for me it was about the speed of cooking the pieces vs the whole bird. Let me know what you try and how you like it!
You are an amazing mom and cook. Loved your Thanksgiving meal. So inspiring!
Thank you so much! 💕
Not sure why this got recommended but I'm here for it😊
You cut the shit out of that bird🤣🍗great idea
Lol, thanks!
@@DanielleLaShawn this is my first time to your channel and I'm really enjoying it great idea on the turkey cutting up. Wow.. bravo to you ma'am 😊
You've done an excellent job! Everything looks delish! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much! ♥️
The Thanksgiving vibes are amazing
🦃🥧🤗
Your vlog was amazing. You are a real cook. I’m amazed at how you made all that the day of. You don’t measure a lot but everything turns out perfect. You are very relaxed and drill right through making all those dishes. Mac n cheese looked delish. Also, loved the background music so relaxing .Couldn’t stop watching with the music playing so enjoyable. Sweet daughter. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm not one for measuring, especially when it comes to seasoning. I do it by taste. Happy Thanksgiving! 🥰
Hi from GA! ❤️
Just like ours! You’re an excellent cook. Fantastic job. We like dressing instead of stuffing, baked in a pan, I use 1/2 biscuit 1/2 cornbread as base.
I hope y’all are having a blessed year!
Thank you! I love a good dressing bu no one in my family eats it so I'm not going to go out of my way to make a big pan.
I'm taking all kinds of notes. Thanks!
Lol, thank you!
Enjoyed your video. Planning for Thanksgiving 2022. Be blessed!
Thank you. Same to you!
Most definitely gonna have to try the turkey lots of great ideals thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!! 💕
First time see your video and you are a GREAT COOK love how you did the sweet potatoes definitely doing mine that way this Thanksgiving ..love the gravy also..loved it all.. thank you for sharing I'll be looking forward to your next video.. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you! Happy holidays to you as well. 💕
why when we cook thanksgiving dinner we start calling the food "my pie, My turkey, My dressing.... lol love thanksgiving cooking
Love that! Lol
I was in the store today talking about, “Well I might as well gone and get my ham now!” Lol 😆
@@ShadaeMastersAstrology 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny
We claiming all that work we about to do! 🥰
It's 2021Turkey Day is almost here and I enjoyed watching you. Have awesome 2022 . I wish you a safe and happy one.
Thank you so much. You too! 💕
Everything looked so delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
You're welcome!
OMG....watching your video was amazing!! It was like being in the kitchen with family! I chuckled each time you added seasoning, reminded me of my Dad...he never measured anything and his food was perfectly seasoned. I’m definitely planning my Thanksgiving menu around your videos inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing, you have a new Sub! So glad your video came up on my feed today. Actually a few of them did, but yours stood out more. Great content! 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate you supporting my channel and I'm so glad you liked the video and decided to stick around. 🥰
@@DanielleLaShawn absolutely and I’m binge-watching your channel!!😊
Lol, I love to hear it! Thank you ♥️
I stumbled across your channel and watching you breakdown the Turkey was interesting 🤔 Why didn't I think of that???🤕 ALL the other videos are about roasting the Turkey intact. You are different 🌈 Awesome 🤸💝🤩I subscribed 💙💜🧡💖
Lol, thanks! It makes the process a lot easier in my opinion.
Agreed. I also just subscribed!
I subscribed! I'm totally hooked!!!
I’m very impressed with your recipes and appreciate the flow of your work. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤗❣️
Thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
Thanks for showing us your lovely food.
You're welcome!
This popped up on my suggestions and I'm so glad it did! That banana pudding recipe looked amazing. Loved the milk to cream ratio. And you better butcher that turkey! Amazing. I'm making the turkey for the first time this year and I'm nervous lol. And I love to cook. 🤦♀️
Lol, thank you! The banana pudding is a show stopper. The turkey is so much easier to manage when it's broken down. Every piece was cooked perfectly.
This was def relaxing . You did a great job 💕💕
Thank you!
You did a great job and your kids are adorable! I've watched this about 10 times. Lol I work on Thanksgiving this year so I need a quick meal plan. Thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Happy Holidays your meal looks great.
I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Great tip on cutting up the turkey to cook it faster. I think I'll do that this year. Your dinner turned out great.
Thank you! I definitely recommend cutting it up to avoid overcooking some of the pieces.
"You don't need much nutmeg"- then covers it in nutmeg LOL. I swear I love how my people season food!
Lol
U need much less nutmeg than u do cinnamon is what I meant 😂🤣
That was the cinnamon not nutmeg. I read the label and she stated it was cinnamon.
I enjoyed your video alot. You are so hard working and you know what you are doing. I was a little worried about the turkey breast being undercooked but it wasnt so Im pleased. Very glad I watched to the end. Your husband must be proud he made you his wifè!Cooking is ministry. God bless you, your kitchen and your family!!
Thank you so much! ❤️
That was remarkable!!!! I enjoyed your video. It reminded me of when my mother would cook during the holidays. 😀😀😀
Thank you so much, that's a great compliment ❤️
I love it! I’m binge watching holiday cooking video get those small hams as well for thanksgiving. I glaze it with honey bourbon cranberry sauce too! Your dinner looks amazing 😀
I love the small ones instead of having a big ham to carve.
@@DanielleLaShawn me too it’s all about convenience!
Exactly.
New Subscriber I watched the video from beginning to end. I like the way you explain everything so clear and thorough what you are doing.The food looks delicious... Kim H. writing from Chicago Illinois
Thanks Kim!
Great meal.🌻🧡🦃
You did a fabulous job with this video. Such a joy to watch. Happy early thanksgiving. Love from the Bahamas.
Thank you so much!! 💕
Great video ♥️ keep up the great work 🙏🏽 Charole'vista 🤗❤️🙏🏽 be blessed and safe 🙏🏽 God bless you and your family 🙏🏽
Thank you so much! ❤️
Wow.......you did a phenomenal job, and all the crusines look delectable! That banana pudding, sweet potatoe pies, and mac and cheese remind me of my grandmere' s style of cooking. You are a superb cook. One of the best Thanksgiving spreads I seen on You Tube thus far. I want a plate to go! Lol
Lol, come on!
@@DanielleLaShawn I am serious; I want a plate to go and a doggy bag! Lol
Thank you for your very real video, I love that you told us about dropping the one pie, you could have just showed one, and we would have never known, I appreciate your easy going cooking style, and real life cooking, no over the top " nobody cooks like that " fancy stuff that no one actually eats either, it's real!! Thank you so much for sharing!!💞
Happy Thanksgiving 2021! I have subscribed so I can watch more!!
Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!! 💕
I loved your video. I’m going to use your recipe for cooking a turkey thanks for the idea
Thank you! I hope you like it!
This gave me the motivation I needed this morning to get my butt up in the kitchen to do our meal...I just need some of your energy 😅😅😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🦃
Say a quick prayer thanking God for the energy you don't yet feel. I bet that will help. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃💕
Thank you @Danielle I'm up and at it now...lol 🖤🖤🖤 you def got a new subbie here sis, happy Thanksgiving to you n family.
Your thanksgiving video was super inspirational and gave me even more excitement and motivation for my dinner this year. I typically cook everything myself as well but I watch CZcams yearly as a way to get in the holiday spirit! Your so beautiful and look and speak just like my younger sister 💗 thanks girl
Thank you so much! All high praise! ❤️
this was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Danielle, baby girl. You get a standing ovation and a real big black choir singing just to celebrate you. Dang, honey you did the hell out of that Turkey. This year will be my First time cooking a Turkey. I always order Greenberg Turkey, but they burned down this year before I could order it. My Mom died 3 years ago and she always loved cooking our Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner. We did not have to do nothing but show up. My First year turned out great, cooking at my daughters house in Houston, 2nd year was good. This year my heart was not in it until I saw your vid. So I went bought an 12 lb Turkey since it’s just my daughter and grandson and a few of her friends. Lately I have been busy watching CZcams for all my recipes and have thoroughly loved cooking lately.
I am so Uber proud of you, you cooked that dang dinner like a sho nuff Culinary Artist. I’m truly impressed. I really stood up and gave you proper respect baby. You made that look amazingly easy as heck. You go girl. I’m going to do mine like yours this year. Thank you so much for giving me a lift about the Holiday and The Food. I’m subscribing and clicking notification button. Keep up the good work. You look like a very young baby to be so wise in your cooking efforts. Block out the hateful naysayers and keep doing you. Cause you got “IT” baby. And “IT” works for you. 🙏🏼❤️💯
You made my night! Thank you so much for your thoughtful, kind comment. Have a great holiday! I know you're gonna knock it out if the park! 💕💕
Love how you got the whole meal going at once instead of one at a time. Everything look delicious!!
Yes! That's a must. You'll be in the kitchen all day without multi-tasking.
This video was so relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Everything looks so delicious, you did a fabulous job👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Compliments to the Chef🥰
Your name 😂😂 thanks!
Thank you for sharing! Happy Holidays😊
You're welcome! Happy Holidays! 🥰
What a cutie pie your clone is! Loves how you cut up that turkey. I will be cooking a turkey breast this year because there's only my brother and I, but I love the wings and legs too!
I go for only the breast sometimes too. Quick and easy. ☑️ And thank you! 🥰
Impressive! I wanna come to your house for Thanksgiving!
Lol, thank you!
Looks super good!!!! Awesome job!!!!
Thanks!
Hello from Ohio ❤️ just found your video! I could feel the love you put into your cooking. Thank you for making this ❤️
Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind comment. It's truly appreciated. 💕
Hey Danielle, I love this video, Last night I tried, I mean, I really tried to do exactly as you did in this video I got all my ingredients, set up my work space, Girl I even said I would not take a 30 minute break, 6 hours, 3 breaks, 2 glasses of wine and 5 CZcams videos later, I quit and went to bed, I’m in the kitchen now trying to finish up, lol I could not contend with you.
You are a RockStar💫 ⭐️✨🌟 and deserve an award for this dinner, Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Lol, that is so funny. You might have a larger quantity of food to cook than me or you might just not have had as much practice. I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years and I have 4 kids so this has been my job. Don't feel bad. Lol
Oh my goodness! I wanted to cry for you when your pie dropped 😢. I bet it was still delicious. I like your style. 👍🏽
I'm sure I was a little annoyed at minimum. Lol, but thank you!
I loved and enjoyed this whole video 💕 thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Everything you cooked looks amazing
Thank you!
You dropped one of the pies 🤣🤣🤣 your meal looks delicious 🤤 thank you for sharing 😊
Poor pie 😩😩. And you're welcome!
when thanksgiving is near which it is in 3 days lol i love watching these you did amazing all the food looks amazing im coming over lmao
Come on! Lol
Everything looks super good!!!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
Much Love!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You as well! 🦃
Everything looks really good and you gave me a couple of ideas. Thank you for your video. Wow your daughter looks so much like her pretty mom. Again thank you for this video. Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you so much!
You did a great job with time management lol. That's a good idea to break the turkey down like that. I'm always afraid to do a while bird but I would definitely try it like that tho. Everything looks great!!! Thanks for the video
Thank you!!
Also, with your banana pudding you might also like the version with cream cheese and sweetened milk and also chessman cookies. Amazing!!!
Good menu; but I'm gonna need some potato salad to refresh the palate. Lol Thanks so much for sharing!
Lol I was thinking about doing a potato or seafood salad this year.
@@DanielleLaShawn You know none of my family (immediate or distant) has ever did potato salad for Thanksgiving ot Christmas. New Year's either for that matter. That's more like a summer, 4th of July dish to us. But to each their own, I guess. LOL
My grandmother used to make potato salad for Thanksgiving but she had a bunch of visitors. With me cooking for just my family I know they they don't all eat it so it's not always worth it to make some things even if I like them.
Very efficient and 👀’s tasty 🤤 GOOD COOKING AND TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS!!
Thank you!
Hi Danielle, I hv a daughter by that name..smiles.. Wow! That was a lot of work to do by yourself! You did an amazing job! Happy holidays to you nd your family. That was what we ol school folks call a serious "spread." Your grandmother taught you well; plus, you're a "clean" cook also, in which to people who grew up in my era, is just as important than the food, if not more..Lol..Not many young ladies, now-a-days have cooking skills on your level. Soon, if not already, your little twin, is ready to learn from her mother's amazing gift in the kitchen. God Bless you & yours! 🙏🏾💜🙏🏾🥰
Thank you so much! And yes, my grandmother did not play about a clean house, but especially a clean kitchen.
I LOVE using some softened butter in a bowl & mixing all my spices into it then spreading it all over the turkey
That's a great way to do it too! Thanks for sharing!
I never used white sugar in my sweet potatoes just packed brown sugar. I also use kings syrup. I will try white sugar this year.
I think it has less moisture and therefore it makes a syrup easier... Could be wrong though. Lol
Love this !!! learned a lot preparing my Thanksgiving watching ur channel !!!
I'm so glad!
Everything looks delicious.Your video was great. I enjoyed watching you cook.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I know that this video is a year ago. I am sorry that you lost a pie in this one. But girl you are helping me in 2020 for my Thanksgiving dinner. It all look good. Keep cooking girl! Love your Spread!
I'm so glad it's helping you!
You did that girl thanks for sharing this. Even though we're watching almost a year later
Thank you! ☺️
@@DanielleLaShawn you’re welcome
You are a study in time management!
Loving every bit of this video the food looks delicious good job I cannot wait for thanksgiving this year
Thank you so much! 💕
I am just now discovering this video. This inspired me to cook the whole meal and not be stressed. Thanks for sharing even though I am a little late to the party lol.
You're never late over here! Lol I think you should try cooking at least once. Doing things in an order that makes sense really cuts down on your cooking time
I NEED that knife 😍😍 cuts so smoothly
That is a super old Paula Deen knife from Walmart but I feel like you can get nice knives pretty much anywhere these days.
Tip, take the back of a porcelain plate that you don’t care to mess up and run your knife over the rim of the bottom of the plate and it will sharpen it if you don’t have a knife sharpener! :)
The turkey looks so juicy😍😍
It was 😋 that's why it's worth breaking it down
Awesome tutorial and very relaxing. I was eating with my eyes and stomach the whole entire time.
Lol, thank you! 💕
This is a delicious meal about how much I'm cooking for my family and friends.
I'm sure yours will be delicious too! Happy holidays! ❤️
Ummm ummmm everything looks so good...good job on carving that turkey up...when you showed the pie that dropped i was like nooooo, but its ok its still going to bet eaten 😊😊😊
Lol, thank you so much! The pie hurt my heart. ♥️
I like to slow cook the turkey all night. You can even go to sleep. It falls off the bone ❤️
I've never tried doing that. Thanks for the tip!
I actually do the same thing! It’s makes the turkey incredibly juicy and tender and it’s enough hours to fully cook it no matter how big. I hope y’all have a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas! 🦃🍽🎄💕
I worry about this, especially since my oven caught in fire not too long ago! Just use caution and be safe!
When you say slow cook it On wat temperature
@@gloriacarr2561 around 260 in the oven
That was amazing, ty 4sharing with us, everything looked delicious, what 2 come 2 your dinner table 🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Lol, thanks.
@@DanielleLaShawn you're soooooo welcome, ment 2 text want 2 come 2 your dinner table
You gave me a good idea.
. I never thought of cutting up my Turkey.. Now I don't have to waste any. Am only cooking for myself..Thank for sharing your recipes. 😊
You're welcome!
That’s a shit load of sugar Lol my kids would be in pure heaven at your house 🤣
A ton 😩 but believe it or not since the syrup is floating around them, the potatoes themselves aren't that sweet... And u only get to eat it a couple times a year.
Gots to be about a cup in a pie recipe.Nothing better,but it's only a holiday thing.
Lol 😂 right mines too!
Everything looks scrumptious! I was waiting on the dressing, but I guess you didn't make any. I can tell you can cook, so I know it would have been delicious!😍👍
My kids don't like it so I made a stove top stuffing for my husband and I. I don't make it from scratch because it will go to waste and it's not worth the extra effort.
I’m doin this I watched your video like two times and I’m ready for thanksgiving thank you 🙏
Lol, you got it! Your meal will be delicious I'm sure.
I just watched your full video. I'm semi-retired and trying to learn to be a better cook. I'm so tired of the same old boring holiday meals I've made forever so I have decided this year will be your menu. You child reminds me of my granddaughter. Thank you for this learning experience and I'm officially subscribed.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. That is truly high praise. 💕
