I still clean my greens the old school way my mom & grandmother showed me with salt. It’s really easy with my double sided sink. I pick & trim first. Then submerge, layer in salt, rub and agitate, rinse and repeat until the water runs clean and the greens are squeaky clean.
Forgot to give you a recipe to clean your air fryer. You can use it on large ovens also mix 1/4 cup vinegar half a cup of dawn detergent one and a half cups baking soda. Just mix it up let it sit a while and just clean. It works. Wonders on my big oven and my countertop oven. Try it. Let me know if it works. Your dinner looks wonderful.
Definitely my grandmother’s caramel cake, banana pudding & sweet potato pie have always been my favorites. Nothing beat homemade caramel made in her cast iron skillet even after stirring until my muscles cried.
You did great and you don’t have to be in the kitchen all day or prepping weeks in advance. This could easily in done in two days with an hour’s + kitchen’s work. Day 1: Crusts, cornbread, pressure cook chicken, clean/prep/cook greens Day 2: Pressure cook Peas, Finish corn pudding, dressing, and tarts
I have advised people to cut back on all of that weeks-long preparation for holiday meals. Your family will work you into the nursing home and/or an early grave with all that work. Then most willl not visit you in the nursing home claiming they can't stand to see you ill. Others will visit you on rare occasions. Then they will cook their own food or find someone else to slave for them. If you are very wealthy and have household servants, have at it. I simply refuse to keep cooking things that must be stored and saved weeks ahead of time, as well as cook all day the night before, as well as right up to the time my meal is served on the holiday. Take care of you.❤️🙏🙏🙏
Hey, just wanted to drop by and say your cooking videos are real comforting. They are legit making me feel that my mom is around. Home cooking is just built different. That soul food recipe of buttermilk chicken, moist cornbread, green beans, candied yams and divine mac and cheese shall be my best treat to my parents for the upcoming Father's day. Thanks a lot! ❤
Miss Camrria this episode wasn't just very delicious but it was really thoughtful and well thought of you really went above and beyond to make sure everyone can have a happy thanksgiving or evening a Merry Christmas or just any occasions that might required some extra love in the kitchen you are really a gem miss camrria another beautifully done episode ❤❤
This looks so delicious. I could eat this anytime. My birthday is at the end of October. I have had a Thanksgiving meal for my birthday dinner. Then turned around and had it again on Thanksgiving. So so good. Thank you, Miss Camirra. Happy early Thanksgiving. PS: I have never had corn pudding either, lol guess I have to now. :)
I usually soak and agitate my greens in a large stainless steel bowl with salted water!! And then, I lift them out of the water and boy-- you should see all the sand and dirt! Never just pour the water out back over the greens because you'll defeat the purpose of washing them-- and let tell ya, sandy, crunchy greens-- are the worse😝! Thanks for an inspiring video! I don't do the swine, so this was very exciting for me!
Hi Chef Camirra 👩🏾🍳, what a mouthwatering soul food soo exquisite and sensational and delicious 😋 with chicken 🐔🍗🍗 🤩 and the usual trimmings, but turkey will be on thanksgiving day🙏🏽 🦃. WOW this 50 dollar feast feeding a family of five in these hard times is fantastic well done Chef Camirra 👏🏽👏🏽👩🏾🍳👑👸🏽💐🥰💐💛💐🧡
@@CamirrasKitchen You are most Welcome Chef Camirra 👩🏾🍳 enjoy a happy and blessed thanks giving day in advance with your family God bless you all. Amen 🙏🏽💐💛💐🧡👸🏽👑🎁🤩
Hey girl. Made your chicken dressing last year. Everyone loved it! My dad and I are making it again this year. Thank you. You are an amazing cook. Keep on rocking!
God Bless you so much I've really learned how to do bake apple 🍎 pie and corn 🌽 bread dressing thanks, 🙏🙏💯 so much, GOD TRULY DO REALLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL 😊🤗🥰🥰🥰
You are truly a Southern Cooking Goddess, Camirra! I haven't heard of nor seen cirn pudding since my childhood. (My family is from South Carolina.) This meal looks divine as always!
Everything looked so good. Glad someone else is using whole nutmeg, taste so much better. You should try a little bit in mashed potatoes, as well as in roasted or fried Brussels sprouts. But add it at the end, nutmeg can burn easily. A lottle goes a long way. And I love the addition of the bay leaf as well. I like to add a little hot sauce on the greens, Louisiana style or Texas Pete. My favorite desert would be pecan pie. But that apple tart looks very good. My contribution to Thanksgiving has been banana pudding for a few years now.
I really enjoy watching you cook ole fashion country food,😋. I love to cook and cater,learning new recipes or techniques are a blessing. I wish y'all a happy and blessed holiday season. Peace&Blessings🙏💜
Thanks for such a concise, fun to watch, down to earth cooking video!!! Everything looks REALLY good!!! I love seeing how people in other places cook and the kinds of sides they have for holidays, especially Thanksgiving. I live in south Louisiana, so I grew up eating Zatarain’s products and Camellia beans--especially Camellia red beans EVERY Monday --since both are local products. 😉 I also grew up eating my mother’s oyster dressing on Thanksgiving--which I loved, but sadly have never been able to duplicate--and never had cornbread dressing till it was served on our school lunch tray, WAY back in the day when the cafeteria ladies actually COOKED real food!!! 🤷♀️ I fell in love with it and begged my mother to make it, but she never did because she said she had too many other things to make. 😭 She made so many other sides I liked that I got over it. 😂 I also never had corn pudding till a few years ago when I tried Michael Symon’s Almost Famous Corn Pudding and got hooked. My mother was an incredible cook, but not a baker--she didn’t like having to measure things to be exact--so her go-to dessert was always bread pudding--we always had pieces of French bread loaves leftover, so she’d save them up to make the pudding-- and serve it warm with whiskey or rum sauce. My mouth waters just thinking about it!!! So bread pudding is still my favorite, though I do love me some pecan (“puh-cawn”) pie. Thanks again for the video. I’m going to go back and catch up on all your other ones!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
mariemarie, I enjoyed the comment you made concerning the correct pronunciation of pecan ("puh-cawn") pie because when I first moved here-- I was saying it incorrectly! I cracked a huge smile when I saw how you put in parentheses!, LOL! I'm actually a city girl, with a country girl appetite. And it was here in South Carolina that I was introduced to 'okra' by my pastor's wife! I would never touch the stuff, because it just was too slippery for me-- however she fried hers-- and I was hooked! Now I eat it all kinds of ways the tender baby ones raw in salads, Fresh ones with Olive oil and a little butter with onions and garlic. Takes the slippery texture right out! And with some delicious corn bread-- yum!
I sauté the sliced sweet Vidalia onions and raw sliced garlic, with fresh or frozen okra, in a high wall 10 inch stainless steel skillet. I use either 2 tablespoons of Olive oil or Grapeseed Oil, and two tablespoons of Salted butter, and let it cook on #3 for 5-8 minutes flip, and season it with herbs da Provence and celery seeds and fine sea salt
I LOVE your videos! My family isn’t as close as we use to be but these videos always make me feel like I am in the kitchen with the family like how it use to be. My favorite thanksgiving dessert is peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. I love how close ur recipes are to what I saw ppl around me use. I KNOW the food is good. Happy holidays!
Try wrapping your chicken initially in the foil for the first 20 or 30 minutes then uncovering it to brown and base. The fat should render and it’ll steam in its own juices the first few minutes.
Wow! Girl you are amazing. Loved your video, all of the delicious foods you made with real ingredients. You nailed it. Love cooking those things too, and will borrow some of them this year. Bets yours are better. Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping it real. Hugs.
I find your videos so comforting and relaxing and I get hungry every time I watch one! Thanks for all the info and the hard work you do for us in making your food and your videos!❤❤
The absolute best collards I’ve purchased have been from Walmart. They were fresh, crisp, huge greens and I got 7 bunches, cooked all of them, and froze half for later in the year.
Hi Camirra! Loved this dinner! The only thing my family would be missing would be sweet potato casserole. I'll definitely be adding these to our Thanksgiving holiday feast and appreciate all!
I'm going to give you a good holiday laugh!!! When I was newly married my insurance agent came by and saw I was loaded down with a pile of greens to put up! My mom never cooked greens much less put them in the freezer. He told me I could wash them in the washing machine so to save time I went for it!!! Needless to say,I was picking green bits out of the tiny holes for a week lol! Lesson learned!!!
Some good ol' southern cookin' right here! Agree with what you said about the milk being "at the edge of life". Whole cow's milk is at peak flavor just before it goes bad, great for cooking. Happy Thanksgiving!
I made the cornbread and dressing. I am very happy with the results. I also made the cranberry relish. OMGoodness! So good! Thanks for sharing your recipes. Blessings to you! Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, I have heard about greens being cleaned via a washing machine, especially a top loader washing machine. It sounds crazy but it works, especially when there’s multiple pounds of greens to be wash. The washing machine is cleaned via a disinfectant wash before greens are put into it for cleaning. Yeah it sounds crazy but folks have done and do it.
I made your dressing recipe for thanksgiving and it turned out great!!!!! My daughter who doesn’t like dressing loves the dressing and wants to take leftovers for her lunch
Camirra, you are SO fun and informative. No one gives the inside skinny like you. One thing I always include in holiday meals are mushrooms. Budget-friendly canned. Into the dressing and in the gravy. And for a few dollars more? Dry sherry to de-glaze and cook out for the gravy--unbelievable w mushrooms. And those walnuts you mentioned: I love crunch and toasty into the dressing. Or canned water chesnuts.
Thank you for sharing how to make the greens.......I love them but didn't know how to make them.....I just never remembered to google the recipe.....I'm glad youtube recommended this video 😊 I hope you & yours has a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🍷
Chef Camirra. This was great fun for me. When you said 'cook til you can't walk no more', I smiled big, because I cant walk no mo' (arthritis) but I still cook 😇. I'm 71 this year and have been cooking since I was 12, and my own mom was a good cook but nothing was magical. So (a bit like you) I slowly took over the cooking chores. With the Picayune Cookbook and Sandra Otto's Homemade (both 19th century recipes) and Julia Child on 1960s tv I learned how to cook. now Saving Money. I hope these tips come in handy for somebody out there. The liquid in canned food is perfectly edible and has the same nutritional value as the solid bits. I would have put it in my chicken stock. for Pie crust to taste good it should be at least half butter. the other half can be suet (beef fat) or lard (pork). I save all the fat trimmings from pork and beef and render them down. Bacon fat I use in savory cooking or for half the fat in biscuits. I also save all the veggie peelings cores and herb stems and collect it in the freezer til it fills a bag the size of my stockpot along with any leftover bones skin etc. when I make my own cornbread I like to put corn kernels in it and if I have canned corn I mix the liquid with dry milk powder for the liquid. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving 🦃and Christmas 🎅. All the best Jim retired Mexico
loved this story! Thanks for the tips. i will try the butter lard pie crust combination. also love the tip of using the canning liquid from corn in the cornbread :)
Ive found that at 350 degrees for 40 minutes in the air fryer, it makes the best whole chicken. Maybe just 30 minutes for only the breast and wing part. The skin comes out crispy and the meat is super tender.
A couple of suggestions for variety: You can add a couple thick slices of ham or bacon to the peas and let it simmer together for flavor and remove it after or leave it as a surprise gift for a guest 😂😂
You can add beans straight from the bag to the pot if you want to but you may be needing a dentist before you finish your meal.... dry beans and peas may contain dust, dirt or even stones. I wouldn't want to bite down on a rock for the Holidays. Loved your video, my dear. You have a knack for instructing others. Would make a great cooking instructor.
Not a fan of corn pudding but that looked good! I like dressing but since I'm alone and almost 72, I use Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing and freeze portions for a meal later on.
Never tried Martha White - but found out the hard way that Jiffy Mix is not the way - no sweet cornbread in dressing! I personally use the Pearl Milling (Aunt Jemima's) Buttermilk cornmeal - just follow according to the package and don't add sugar! I have to buy it in October so I don't have to search for it in November!
My mom always used aunt jemima, now pearl milling, and the little bit of sugar that the recipe calls for, will not make the cornbread sweet, it just balances the flavor, of course everybody has their own preference, my mom used the aunt jemima corn meal, but I found out she used her own recipe, her cornbread and dressing was always delicious, in my opinion, good cornbread is a great base for delicious dressing
plan early and catch sales in the weeks going up to Thanksgiving. keep the menu simple and with items that go across dishes. so for instance if 3 dishes call for milk then you can make all of them with the purchaese of 1/2 gallon of milk. I also buy discount meat at grocery stores leading up to the holiday and freeze. hope you can do it!
I like watching folks cook and u r a fav if mine and I will b trying so.e if your recipes. I really think you did a great job with your budget and that tart is Def something I will try
Everything sounds delicious...but for me no can soup in my Cornbread dressing, oh nooooo! Slices of toasted bread with the Cornbread is epic. Fresh oranges or mandarins in the cranberry sauce is a must....orange jello? Heck No. Love the Apple tart idea... much better than a soggy bottom apple pie. Not a bad budget meal.
I use fresh orange in my non budget cranberry sauce. but i still use strawberry jello, its actaully really good. its taste nothing like jello. for a budget meal or any meal i can promise ppl will walk away very satisfied.
I do the same but putting chicken base or poultry seasoning on chicken always makes me laugh! We’re literally telling the chicken taste better 😂 You’re not chicken enough! 😂😊
@@CamirrasKitchen trust me, I understand, with the price of food increasing weekly, but we’ll just have to pass the hat for the mac n cheese, it’s a worthy cause 😂😂
That is awesome! for 14 ppl i think you will need to double the corn pudding and add an extra meat and more dessert. but the greens, dressing, and the rest of the meal will feed 14 ppl for a side dish.
I still clean my greens the old school way my mom & grandmother showed me with salt. It’s really easy with my double sided sink. I pick & trim first. Then submerge, layer in salt, rub and agitate, rinse and repeat until the water runs clean and the greens are squeaky clean.

4444444444444444444444444😮4
I will give that a try as well
Do you spread mixture in oven, let sit and then wash oven ?
Creating a budget friendly soul food Thanksgiving dinner brings happiness to my soul 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely my grandmother’s caramel cake, banana pudding & sweet potato pie have always been my favorites. Nothing beat homemade caramel made in her cast iron skillet even after stirring until my muscles cried.

Old fashioned dressing using cornmeal is self rising meal,eggs,oil and carnation milk, and old school recipe.

I always do my greens a week or two before the holiday, and freeze them, it’s easier and less time consuming

I’ve not heard of washing greens in the washer, but I think it would be a good thing.
Washing machine greens 🤣🤣. I'll try the Sal soap. Food looks great.
I never realized there was sweet and unsweetened cornbread mix!! TY!
I made the cornbread and dressing. I am very happy with the results. I also made the cranberry relish. OMGoodness! So good! Thanks for sharing your recipes. Blessings to you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Great episode. And yes my mother washed hers in the washing machine when she got the crate to blanch to put up for the winter 😂
Camirra, you are SO fun and informative. No one gives the inside skinny like you. One thing I always include in holiday meals are mushrooms. Budget-friendly canned. Into the dressing and in the gravy.
And for a few dollars more? Dry sherry to de-glaze and cook out for the gravy--unbelievable w mushrooms. And those walnuts you mentioned: I love crunch and toasty into the dressing. Or canned water chesnuts.
Lovely! I've made all this except the greens
My sister and mother always made this at holidays. I loved it!

Now that's my kind of meal. Not super fancy, just some down home southern good eatin'! Only thing missing is the Texas Pete or Frank's hot sauce. 😊😊😊
just good eating!!
I make corn pudding with jiffy cornbread mix. the cornbread gives it a custard like texture
I wanted to see all this deliciousness plated. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Ive found that at 350 degrees for 40 minutes in the air fryer, it makes the best whole chicken. Maybe just 30 minutes for only the breast and wing part. The skin comes out crispy and the meat is super tender.

I still love my canned, cylindrical cranberry sauce instead.
A couple of suggestions for variety: You can add a couple thick slices of ham or bacon to the peas and let it simmer together for flavor and remove it after or leave it as a surprise gift for a guest 😂😂
Turkey ham and/or turkey bacon for me😄. The pork hurts my tummy.🤢

Hi Mrs lady Camirra I have never had corn pudding but heard about it nd errything looks scrumptious
I'm going to see if I can spend $50 and make a good Thanksgiving meal this year
plan early and catch sales in the weeks going up to Thanksgiving. keep the menu simple and with items that go across dishes. so for instance if 3 dishes call for milk then you can make all of them with the purchaese of 1/2 gallon of milk. I also buy discount meat at grocery stores leading up to the holiday and freeze. hope you can do it!
This looks delicious and a feast indeed 😊
Sister Mabel!❤🫖☕️🍰 I like looking at all your pots and pans, and thank you for the delicious meal in this video.
I love your recipes. Just like my grandma used to make.
Hello Queen ❤
Everything look good as always.
I’ve never had corn pudding.
You did a great job.
I always add eggs in my dressing. Also I use green peppers rather than red.
You did a excellent job young lady, Enjoy be safe bless and never give up on faith. ❤️ 4 🙏
I like watching folks cook and u r a fav if mine and I will b trying so.e if your recipes. I really think you did a great job with your budget and that tart is Def something I will try
I am so glad I found your channel.. I t feels like home🙂
Everything sounds delicious...but for me no can soup in my Cornbread dressing, oh nooooo! Slices of toasted bread with the Cornbread is epic. Fresh oranges or mandarins in the cranberry sauce is a must....orange jello? Heck No. Love the Apple tart idea... much better than a soggy bottom apple pie. Not a bad budget meal.
I use fresh orange in my non budget cranberry sauce. but i still use strawberry jello, its actaully really good. its taste nothing like jello. for a budget meal or any meal i can promise ppl will walk away very satisfied.
My mom puts cheese in the corn pudding and the Mexican corn and we call it corn casserole. My daughter wants me to make it. Idk yet
My favorite dessert is banana strawberry pudding and cheesecake brownies
I think you did a wonderful job! ❤
Honey, this dinner looks wonderful! 💗💕💕💕 You did a fantastic job.. what a budget, with a lot of goodies 🎊🎈🎊 Thanks for sharing 💖💗💗
Thank you so much 🤗
everything looks amazing, i love the greens and the apple tart, i love apple pie,tarts anything apple will work for me lol
I grew up eating corn pudding. I’ve tried to make it from memory but have never been able to obtain the one I remember from youth.
I really appreciate your version of how to cook ☺️
I have, exactly, that's how I make my crust,
Another soul food meal
Wow looks so good
I do the same but putting chicken base or poultry seasoning on chicken always makes me laugh! We’re literally telling the chicken taste better 😂 You’re not chicken enough! 😂😊
You did an excellent job thank you
The meal looks good, but family ain’t going for no mac n cheese, it’s a must have
lol yeah but for $50 it hard to fit it in sometimes
@@CamirrasKitchen trust me, I understand, with the price of food increasing weekly, but we’ll just have to pass the hat for the mac n cheese, it’s a worthy cause 😂😂
😂🙌👍
Everything looked delicious. Where did you get your pots and pans from they are so pretty
This has been one of my favorite videos. There will be 14 of us here for Thanksgiving and let me tell you this is what we are having
That is awesome! for 14 ppl i think you will need to double the corn pudding and add an extra meat and more dessert. but the greens, dressing, and the rest of the meal will feed 14 ppl for a side dish.
Oh yes, definitely more of it but this combination will be perfect!
A excellent tasty well-seasoned dinner. Will use these recipes. Duchess ❤😊
this looks amazing.
😋 Yummy , I love it. Good job .!! ❤
