As a midwesterner, she described our Thanksgiving perfectly! 😊🍗🥧
You mean all the double entrees? 😆
Yes😂😂😂😂
@@holdernessfamilylaughs It's not Thanksgiving if you don't have enough leftovers for every meal all the way through Cyber Monday while you get the Christmas stuff out.
I'm not even a Midwesterner... I'm a Californian.. and having the identical menu! lol Oh, and sweet tea. 😂
Not off topic. We need a "Hallmark Thanksgiving for Thankfulness and Pumpkins with Love"
Gotta say, I’m with her on the oven roasted turkey, apple pie, and pumpkin pie 😂
after deep frying turkey for the last 20 years i almost always rather have deep fried turkey over oven roasted. i think it just tastes better.
Oven roasted turkey
Ham
Dressing
Mashed potatoes
Corn
Green beans
Rolls
Cranberry sauce
Apple pie 🥧
Pecan pie
Pumpkin pie
That's how Padme and I do it...at least that's how I've imagined it.😔
10000%
Same
As a Texan, I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with having both dinners in one. More variety AND more leftovers!!!! YES!!!!
same here in Louisiana! can never have enough!
As a midwestern that lives in Texas, I agree!
@@krystynalwood4161 Deep fried turkeys have been explained to me by Southern relatives and friends. I think I'm a little frightened of them. Literally. I was on board with the idea, until somebody told me why they had to be cooked outdoors. Because people were burning their kitchens and homes down by doing that indoors. Yipe.
I'm sure they're delicious, but I can't shake this image of a greasy, meaty smelling wall of Greek Fire coming my way at a cookout, after that cloud of fat droplets hits the fire and ignites.
as long as you know what you are doing then it's good. what alot of people forget is that you need to make sure that your turkey is thoroughly patted dry before it goes into the fryer.
Midwest neighbor knows how to make a thanksgiving dinner.
Ok, I agree one can NEVER have too many pies!
As long as one is minced meat
@@justinsane7128 bring it on! 😊
@@justinsane7128. I thought I was the only one that loved mince pie! Do you like fruitcake?!!
@@paulasaxon6238 love fruitcakes, nut free if possible.
Me too but they talked about the whipped cream, did they? Thanking is the holiday where we always have to make homemade whipped cream.
Off topic, but I want you to know that I watch your Hallmark movie parodies every year. They're part of my holiday tradition now.
Aww that made my day!
@@holdernessfamilylaughs And my mom always made those exact four pies.
I am Midwestern and I certify this message.
😂 Oh Kim, 4 pies is CONSERVATIVE. My family’s Thanksgiving has been known to have 15+ pies in at least 8 varieties. You have thanksgiving dinner around lunch/late lunch time, and the pies are basically “supper” 😂
I think a big chunk of Utah is culturally a semi-midwestern state or something.
Thursday Thanksgiving
Friday Pie Day
Saturday Fatter day
Totally, sums us up real nice!😂
For real 👍
Well, they did come over from Missouri, Ohio and Illinois, so yeah...
My family is really into pie. So much pie, year round! And then we eat the leftovers for breakfast the next few days.
lol I love the neighbor character. She is hilarious! 🤣
Thanks for being here.
Who says she's just a character? 😁
I grew up in Florida, and now I live in New England. Whenever I say "pecan" I always pronounce it three ways: "pee-can, pih-cahn, pih-can" just to cover all my bases.
Fruit salad with marshmallows and Cool Whip is a MUST at our Thanksgiving (and Christmas). It is the only time of the year it is made, but it is a staple. 😃
We never had the fruit salad with cool whip and marshmallows at thanksgiving . But did have it often at Church potlucks and Summer family reunion or picnics. Born and raised in MN
Can’t forget the mini snickers bars!
You HAVE to have Apple Pie and Green Bean Casserole and Pumpkin Pie on Thanksgiving!
This was hilarious and SO well done!
But do we really have to have Green Bean Casserole? If we do, can there at least be an understanding that it won't be made out of (shudder) canned green beans? Which have been boiled after opening until they've nearly dissolved?
Yes!! Midwest Thanksgiving all the way!!
Amen!!! 😃
I'm sorry but you can't have Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie, apple pie and green bean casserole. Also, our family usually has at least 4 pies. Leftovers are the best.
My daughter in law is hosting this year. She texted her menu of what she’s preparing, then a list of items she’d like others to sign up to bring. She did add we can bring additional items if we feel it’s necessary but I feel she has a good menu put together. Missing a few things I would typically have but after seeing this I am going to just bring what I signed up to bring…
One year we did Thanksgiving at my grandma's house and everyone decided to bring pie since my grandma said she had all the food covered. We had 13 pies for 14 people. It was a great year! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Yes to the green bean casserole!!
It's like a law! It doesn't matter if you eat it or not Lol It has to be there 😄
Yes! The Midwest Thanksgiving dinner, all the way 😅
I LOVE the Midwest neighbor!!!🥰
Me too. One year we had more pies than people😅
Oh man, the Midwestern in me feels this so hard.
I agree you can never have too much pie! But at my house we have pie night the night before Thanksgiving. Everyone brings at least one pie (we usually end up with at least 10), and we eat as much as we want since we haven't already feasted. Then Thanksgiving can be devoted to all the yummy side dishes. Best of both worlds.
This is an excellent, wonderful, amazing idea! 11/10 want to implement!
It's not even Thanksgiving without a four pie minimum!
@@loxleybattle2591 It's really fun. And we can invite other friends and family that have different Thanksgiving plans. It's a party!
I'm with her on the green bean casserole though!
I grew up in MN, but have lived in the South for 30 yrs, so I totally relate to this conundrum of what constitutes Thanksgiving dinner. 😀
I wish this lady was my nextdoor neighbor! I have no issue with someone cooking Thanksgiving dinner for me lol. Everything she listed is exactly what we ate in Detroit for Thanksgiving growing up.
Now you need to do a video on the meal itself where the Midwest neighbor continuously tells people to eat more food, going so far as to passive aggressively guilt trip you into eating more even though you are obviously full and will definitely not be able to keep everything down. (AKA every thanksgiving meal at my Grandma's house for 20+ years). "I can't eat any more aunt Kathy, I have literally had one of everything!" "Oh but did you try the (insert dish name here)? I just brought it out!" "*sigh* No, I guess I'll go have some...."
I was discussing Thanksgiving with my sister-in-law just the other day and I always bring the pies. As we were trying to decide on what kinds I literally said, 'You can never have too much pie". I LOVE the midwest neighbor, as a resident of Michigan it definitely hits home with me. And sorry Kim, but deep fried turkey and oyster stuffing ... well I'm sure it's great but... um... just not my thing. And where is the jellied cranberry sauce shaped like a can? You HAVE to have that on your plate to kind of smear the turkey around in before you eat it!
I will make sure she adds canned cranberry to her list, ridges and all.
😂
It’s not Thanksgiving until canned cranberry jelly is served on Grandmas Corelle plate ~ sliced if it’s fancy 😂
I am so like Kim! Let someone else do it if they’re so excited to cook literally everything! That ain’t me.
Because she is lazy
If I had someone wanting to bring over half of TG dinner I'd jump at it! Being the sole cook on a holiday is grueling. I'd sell my soul for a neighbor like that lol
Sausage and stovetop I feel attacked 🤣
Is that your go-to?
Sorry lol I'm going to the Midwest Thanksgiving 😂
She will definitely have more than enough options.
About the only thing Anne-Marie missed is the day after turkey pot pie!
So yes a sleepover is probably mandatory😂.
Kim might get out of it if she brings her own empty Cool whip containers and immediately kindly explains that she cannot stay for a sleepover, but as a Goodwill gesture she brought her own Cool whip containers😂
Pot pie? Nah, it's homemade turkey noodles, kind of like turkey and dumplings.
@@SENSEF you can have both!
Maybe now Kim will understand why we need 2 turkeys 😂
Lol, I was looking for a leftover container comment - thank you
My mom always packed up leftovers in Ziploc bags. We still laugh about it now.
@@SENSEF I really like turkey and gravy on top of pancakes. Don't knock it until you try it.
"I will do the fruit salad with marshmallows and whipped cream." Totally a Midwestern thing!
I would love having two dinners on the table.
Can't wait until they tell me to bring solo cups and Ice....
There’s always that one person you don’t dare ask to bring food, you ask them to bring the cups and ice.
We aren't cooking for Thanksgiving this year. I am so excited about it. We are going to eat at Disney Springs instead and do the Christmas Tree Trail after
That sounds awesome ! I love Disney Springs
It is tru that you can NEVER have too much pie.
It's YOUR show 😄that joke with the funny sound effect was not lost on me 😊
Laughing so hard at this video of Kim and Ann Marie planning Thanksgiving Dinner! I love Ann Marie’s accent.
Ann Marie is cooking our exact meal and we are from California. 😂
I don't even celebrate Thanksgiving, yet this is still insanely relatable! 😂🦃
Everyone likes to have their traditions...
I'd love to have Ann Marie as a neighbor! She's cute as a button, funny and, as a fellow Midwestern girl, I totally get her!! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! 😍🦃🥔🍠🥧
She's not really their neighbor... their producer...but she is hilarious 😂
@@brentj.peterson6070 And it is a good thing for her that she is not. Who the &^%$ wants to live next to this self-centered woman?
Very simple here. Turkey, mashed potatoes and apple pie. When you get our age you eliminate extras.
Well, I’m way over 70, and still doing everything for Thanksgiving. I love it!
Aside from the deep fried turkey, Kim and Penn sound like they're planning a terrible Thanksgiving. Midwest Thanksgiving all the way!!
I could relate to everything in that video - EVERYTHING! - but what about the CRANBERRY SAUCE? Jelly in the can, or cooked whole berries, or that blender mashup with the oranges? I do at least two of those every year, because people don't agree. And there is always a ton left over. Please ask Ann Marie what she does with the leftover cranberries? Do they go in the breakfast casserole? Or does she make muffins too?
When Kim said she'd stay in her pyjamas all day O realized they hadn't talked about the most important question: is Thanksgiving dinner at lunch time or supper time?
It's "whenever the family arrives"
Kim - it's puh-kahn. That is all.😂
That's truly what it feels like to have people over for Thanksgiving. And that's why I don't do thanksgiving foods! then no one can say "i really like this type of dressing" because they're wrong... also, its pe-kahn, because pee-cans are for truckers... also pecan is a word from the Algonquin native americans and if they said it's pronounced pe-kahn, then they're correct. They did it first. They did it right. The hidden valley way lol
I watched the Puppy Bowl for the 1st time last year, and it was awesome! Glad your time is freed up to see that now, Kim. 😄
One year I was having my kitchen remodeled, so we went to Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving. Later my mom said she didn't want to do that again because she couldn't get her Waldorf salad. I loved having dinner at Cracker Barrel! She also didn't like that my four kids did not order the Thanksgiving meal. They each ordered a meal they wanted off the menu. I didn't even notice what anyone else ordered. Seriously! I had a blast!
You’re neighbor always makes it possible to watch the video 🙂
And what about the cranberry sauce? Homemade or the kind with ridges??
😯They didn't cover that?! We do both.
"Peh-cahn" pie. Pee-can is what grandma keeps under her bed 😂
Sausage stuffing is superior to oyster stuffing. She was too polite to say so.
I guess I'm only half Midwest by the Thanksgiving dish measure. I prefer plain green beans, fresh just fruit fruit salad (though our family always had the whip cream kind). But otherwise I'm Midwest, many many pies, no oysters please, and nothing beats the smell of slow roasting turkey. And you left out my favorite side, devilled eggs!
With you 1000% in all your preferences!
I have been informed that when it comes to deviled eggs, it is obvious that the one American branch of my family tree must be Midwestern.
Minnesota.
Yummm, deviled eggs!! 🥰🥚
@@csh43166 I *suck* at making them but I can consume 6, which would be three eggs.
Yeah what the hell are you even doing if you don't have the deviled eggs?!😂
ONLY four pies? My family has celebrated some Thanksgivings where we nearly have had a pie per person- we love our pies! Older brother makes a chocolate cream, i make a lemon or berry or both, sister makes a raspberry pie, little brother makes a cement (oreo) pie, those are just the annual staples! We always seem to end up with a pumpkin or apple pie, plus a few other varieties that float in there somehow. As far as the side dishes- the more the better! I'd be side-eyeing people who brought their own turkey unless explicitly invited, but every other dish is just more to enjoy! (I don't mind extra turkey, it's just so ingrained that the host provides the turkey that anyone else trying to do it without permission seems like the small scale version of wearing white to a wedding. It's just clothes but... You don't do it.)
This is perfect! Love it! 🤣🤣🤣
LOL This is my mother-in-law. I absolutely love her, she's a wonderful person and a great cook, but when you start planning holiday meals she can't help but take over. I've learned to just go with the flow, much like Kim. Maybe I'll bring jello, perhaps some cream corn, and I'll be able to sit in pajamas and watch the parade.
I never compete with MIL, I will do the dishes
I love any videos with these two amazing women. Love Ann Marie, always makes me laugh.
My mom and I were going to host dinner this year. Last weekend my mom fell and broke her ankle. Now we are going to have a catered dinner from a restaurant for maybe like six people. It’s going to be an interesting Holiday season at my house this year.
We had ours catered one year for a similar reason, and we liked the convenience of it so much, we never went back to cooking it all up from scratch! And it gets us trying a new dish every year, too, because where we order it from always has two versions of each dish to choose from.
Oh no! Sending my anonymous internet hugs to your mom. I broke my ankle (and kneecap) in April and am still not recovered. I hope she has an easier time of it!
Good thing is im helping out a family this year its just me feels good to help people out
🤣 My sister always hosts Thanksgiving (thankfully!! I get so stressed out hosting, and she loves doing it) but I tend to insist that I make my Mom’s famous best ever Chestnut Stuffing…no stuffing is better and I will die on that hill, lol (sister and I have different mothers.) She’s fine with it. Since I lived the in South for quite a few years, I also bring the Pimento cheese for appetizer (at Christmas) and corn pudding…neither are a thing where I live and I love them both…and both are very popular. And…I agree, if you’re going to deep fry a turkey…you also have to roast some turkey legs or something so you can have the pan drippings for gravy. Yummmmm. My brother always brings this weird strawberry with jello/pretzels/cool whip thing that apparently his grandmother always made…and it’s an entree, not a dessert..so, yeah, the weird ‘fruit’ thing will always show up at a lot of people’s Thanksgivings!
Even if we go to someone else's house for Thanksgiving or Christmas, my wife still roasts up a turkey breast and some of the side dishes at home for us to have leftovers.
I always have a fully prepared dinner to leave at home when we go over to my sister's house for holiday dinners. I don't want to miss out on having leftovers at home.
I love Thanksgiving leftovers. Good idea.
YES
It’s so funny how Kim is telling her what she’s making and in one ear and out the other as someone who lives in the Midwest 100% we say Turkey Day
And there really can never be too much pie.
Midwest neighbor is on it.
Honestly, her Thanksgiving meal plus yours is our family norm! Up to the part about breakfast casserole and black Friday. We don't do that.
We’re hosting … we’re going to have 18 people + a crazy lab puppy. Oh and of course multiple people who are coming can’t stand each other. What could go wrong? 😅😭 (can I cancel the whole thing?)
If you drink, enjoy the strong stuff once the Turkey comes out of the oven. If you moderately drink, pace yourself throughout the event. If you are a Friend of Bill W., have your sponsor on speed dial and see if there is a late night meeting in your area.
Remember to be thankful! Some people don't have warring families to ruin their holiday for them. *wink*
@@gkennedy2998agreed. Spending Thanksgiving with a microwave turkey dinner isn’t the same.
@@AlbertaRose94 lol!
Yeah, I have to go to your neighbors Thanksgiving, I’m sorry. Although, I’m with you…not doing Black Friday shopping. I did that a few times in the freezing cold of WI, big mistake, big, HUGE. Thank goodness for online shopping, even now that I’m in sunny CA.
Kim learned nothing from the cul de sac cooking show re: midwestern fruit salads😂
Yes!!! This IS our Michigan Thanksgiving every year. She nailed it!! 😂
May I please come to Neighbor and Steve's house for Thanksgiving and I can watch the parade and Puppy Bowl with Kim 😃I'll bring my Grandma's Cheesy Peral onions!
You only need a pee can if you can't hold it while driving.
Yes everything she mentions is what I MUST have on Thanksgiving.
I love thanksgiving leftovers!
I agree with the Midwesterner. Southern food always makes me sick. It's a good idea to have a backup plan!
Hahahahaha I've known people like this. It gets to a point where you do what Kim does...just let them do it since they're going to anyway 😂
Any thumbnail with Midwest Neighbor is an instant like. Now, just add in her partner, Charlie Berens AKA Steve, and ya gotta winna!
This is so hilarious. 😂😂😂
Yes. Your Midwestern neighbours most definitely like jello.
I'm still traumatized by that green fruity thing.
Pistachio salad? I prefer strawberry fluff personally
@@Eric-xh9ee No, there's an earlier video where she makes this green jello and cottage cheese concoction. And it's a real thing.
Ann-Marie is not truly Midwestern she said green bean casserole. It's hot dish, not casserole. 😂😂😂
I’m from Ohio and I’ve never said hot dish. It’s always been casserole.
Oh boi, ur really going out on a limb here to start a Midwestern war 😂
Please allow me to quell this before it even starts.
I have heard it called both, born and raised in the Midwest. 😅
From Illinois (lived in multiple parts and it’s a pretty good sized state) and also never called it a hot dish . . . definitely a casserole!
Okay okay, if we are going to get all official, hot dishes are made on the stove top.
Casseroles eventually end up baked in the oven (Even if they were cooked on the stove top to start) and include a topping, such as the crunchy onions, or whatever other crazy thing we can come up with.
So both answers are correct, because not everyone puts their green bean glop into an oven or puts crunchy stuff on top. 😂🦃
Didn't they cover that controversy in the Dasherole video 😆czcams.com/video/rSyFPk6PnwE/video.html
This is why I never invite another family to Thanksgiving; only single people. Singletons are grateful for a home cooked dinner and eat everything.
Invitation accepted
Lol! Awesome mash up of midwestern/southern dishes. Few things missing on both.
So glad we are going to Friendsgiving that day!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Holderness Family!
And to everyone who follows!❤
LOL!!!! My goodness I have this neighbor too!
Our thanksgiving usually consists of all sorts of food: Turkey, homemade stuffing, real mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, corn, squash, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, broccoli casserole, Mac and cheese, fruit salad, veggie tray and dip, crackers/cheese/meat, deviled eggs, blueberry orange bread, pumpkin bread, pumpkin roll, and for dessert it’s about 10-15 pies from scratch: pumpkin, apple, Dutch apple, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, pecan, lemon meringue, and also English steamed pudding (which is an old recipe that is steamed gingerbread cake which is steamed in a particular pan for hours on the stove and then a buttery sweet sauce goes over the top when served).
I can’t believe your fruit salad doesn’t have marshmallows and cool whip in it!!! My OH heart is broken for you. 😂😂
This reminds me (a north easterner) a lot of me and my MIL (a southerner) planning holiday dinners. Her planning on one pie for 8 people, me bristling at the thought and bringing two more, and her resulting horror over how many leftovers there will be. And yes she buys the smallest turkey she can get because leftovers=bad planning. 🤣
I would consider it bad planning NOT to have leftovers! Thanksgiving leftovers are the BEST!
Keee-im how could ya forget deviled eggs and cranberry sauce from a can? Fried turkey And no brown n serve rolls? Yeah no that's not allowed. I'll just roast a turkey. Oh and ya gotta have some pumpkin pie with real cool whip. And I'll bring an extra card table we can either use it for the kids or to hold the kraft chicken noodles, jello with marshmallows, extra roasted turkey breast because not everyone likes dark meat, and more rolls. It'll be just like thanksgiving in the Midwest.
Oyster stuffing?! Oh my goodness, my childhood in New Orleans just came back❤❤ Memories of my mom making her oyster dressing every Thanksgiving and Christmas 🥹
I'm with Kim on the how do I pronounce pecan when I say it. It's like my internal voice uses "pea can" but my external voice uses "puh con."
Puh cahn all the way.
In my family it’s three pies-pumpkin, pecan and cherry! Gotta have turkey and ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, salad, green bean casserole, rolls.
Oh, Kim, there's already Jello - that's the fruit salad.
You will love the pumpkin pie, though. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.
From a city that is also known for it's Pecan trees - you pronounce it Pe Kon with the emphasis on the second syllable and the first syllable is said very quickly. "Because we don't pee in a can!"
After years and years of turkeys amd hams at Thanksgiving, I have broken with traditional meals (and I'm from southeast NC). One year I made carnitas. It was awesome!
Who doesn't want to watch the Puppy bowl?
I remember when I first got married and had my Thanksgiving that I was hosting, my mother-in-law clashed a bit because my husband wanted her special homemade stuffing and refused to try mine. Now though, 20 years later, we cohesively bring both and he finally tried mine lol. The family loves my homemade mashed potatoes though and that's always nice. And she makes a great sweet potatoes dish 😊
I do not compete with the mother in law. (I knew I would never win the day I met her)
My grandpa..."The only thing better than pie is more of it."
This also takes me to finding food health issues in the family, then trying not to be rude and a burden so it's easier to say you'll bring what gluten or lactose free foods you'll need. 😂
The pie discussion is me and my wife. She thinks you only need one pie. Wrong!
There can never be too much food for Thanksgiving!
Yes!! Midwest all the way! How about a little Snickers Salad
I'm doing bother to cook the traditional meal since it's only me now. Instead, I make a tasty taco dinner. Then graze the whole day while watching those Thanksgiving classics: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and the "Turkey Drop" episode of WKRP in Cincinnati. Then on to Christmas movies!
“ I thought turkeys could fly” 😂😂
