We all grew up loving Ritz Crackers, however several years ago studies showed glyphosate contamination just as there is in General Mills cereals.
However, there are organic versions such as Late July, Organics and Back to Nature.
Consider making the change.
My daughter and son-in-law will be taking me out to Redondo Beach, California for lunch and a walk near the ocean, my favorite spot.
Every single thing you prepared looks delicious, that pie…oh, my !
Your floral arrangements are always so lovely, freehand & not fussy…simply beautiful !
The shirt you have on is one of my favorites,
at first, from a distance on video, I thought it was blue calico
but in this video, closeup shots by Lizette
reveals the print is a small, whimsical
"skull & bones" pattern which is so amusing-
might there be an interesting story behind that ?
Love it all the more & love anything navy blue…my favorite color !
Beautiful Kevin! As always ❤
Ohhhhh yum. I have never seen or heard of an eggs Benedict casserole. I can’t wait to try it.
wow that lime pie and eggs benedict casserole I MUST try! Fantastic Brunch Kevin💖
The flower arrangement is lovely. ❤
I am really enjoying your videos! I assume you are retired but I wonder what your career was. I am guessing something in academia?
🤗✌️
As always, a Beautiful presentation, Kevin! ❤
I am going to make your flower arrangement this summer after my hydrangeas bloom…and will use my hosta leaves too…very pretty! Also the lime dessert looked amazing made with ritz crackers! Thanks for sharing!
WOW!!! What a beautiful and delicious spread of lovely dishes you served your guests!!!!!
Your Mother's Day brunch looks incredible. I will be trying those recipes too. I love your floral arrangement too! The tureen you put the floral piece in looks so elegant! I now have been reminded by your video that we need to make a plan for Mother's Day. We will go to church, take a drive up into the CO mountains and take our mastiff dog with us. One son works Sundays and our other son and his family live far away so we will talk to them on the phone.
The purple shirt is exquisite.
I'm sorry, I lost focus on everything else after you mentioned Eggs Benedict Casserole and Lime pie. Haha. I do enjoy your videos which are both instructional and heart warmingly fun. Keep it up!
You make such beautiful arrangements & table settings. The food looks delicious!❤
You can't go wrong with ANYTHING that has 2 cans of Eagle Brand milk in it. Looks delicious. My mom is no longer with us, so we will probably go to church and get some lunch somewhere. Loved the video. Hope all is well with you and yours! Peace!❤
Blender hollandaise is god's gift to the home chef. Mu mother taught me to make it at age 8, and I still make it. It was Julia Child's recipe. Bon appetite
You always make everything special- from food to flowers to table. You are a true pleasure to watch!
👏🏻👍🏻❤️🌹
I'm going out on mother's day to the waterfront homestead pa I live in PGH PA. Going to Bravo an Italian restaurant starting with dessert first😅. Creme Brulee. Then with a pasta dish or appetizers. Every time I eat there I am too full to order dessert! So ordering dessert first😅 this time around. ( Mom is deceased)….
Your table is beautiful love dishes silverware, flowers… Cups, glasses, food looks delicious I'm allergic to yogurt sorry, but love berries… Yum. All looks fantastic 😊
Mothers Day I will make breakfast out in our pergola for my husband and I on the Blackstone, and we will go visit a local nursery for flowers and garden vegetables.
Your Lime Cracker Pie is now one of my regular desserts !!!! Susan in Toronto,Canada
Kevin you hit this one out of the park! Looks absolutely delicious! Thank you!
Sweet little Avery was helping in the kitchen at 19:06. So delicious. Thank you.
❤
Oh I love that parchment crumpling trick! Kevin, you asked about plans for Mothers' Day. My mother passed over decade ago. However, there is a ritual I follow to honor her. She was an indifferent baker – her mother, my Grandmere, was who taught me to bake and I inherited the handwritten recipes. Mom's favorite cake was a Sour Cream Spice with caramel icing. I bake it every Mother's Day. Also in remembrance, I play two CDs of Mom's favorite music. One is Debussy, especially the Engulfed Cathedral and of course Clair de lune; the other – wildly different! – is a collection of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli. The tea served with the cake? Mom loved "Constant Comment" (usually a winter or Christmas season tea) as well as Earl Gray. And this year I finally found a lilac very similar to the one she had at her years-ago farm, and planted it for her. Happy Mother's Day!
Could I request a video of a Black Bottom Pie? I have heard of them and I understand that they are a USA Southern specialty, but I have never tracked one down! The Eggs Benedict Casserole is a magnificent idea! Thank you for the video!
Love the video’s, I imagine being a guest, great fun!
You are a wonderful reminder that most of the world is full of happy people living simple domestic lives. Beautiful lives, not what the mainstream media would lead us to believe. 🩷🩷
My mother is in hospice and lives in a long-term care facility. She loves Mexican food so I'm picking her favorite meal up from her favorite restaurant and carrying it to her. Sunday is also her 96th birthday so I will also carry a large bouquet of spring flowers.
Your brunch looked delicious. Loved your flower arrangement.
❤❤❤
First off those dishes are my favorites in your collection. The flower arrangement was stunning . The meal looked so good. What a beautiful brunch.
Idk what I’ll do for Mother’s Day yet. Weather permitting might be grilling out. Early happy Mother’s Day to all. ❤
Btw I printed the recipe for the oatmeal bars before show was over. Going back for the casserole & pie!
Kevin, that coffee pot is SO gorgeous. You are such a considerate, generous, and talented host.
You could have tours in your home just so folks could visit your kitchen pieces! Classic, and beautiful. Let me know when you need my address to mail my invitation! 😅
Beautiful, Kevin!!
Kevin all of the recipes looks delicious 😋🤤 thanks for showing
I think your beautiful brunch, table scrap and flowers have made all the mothers very happy, including me!! Can't wait to try all those wonderful recipes! Thanks for a very lovely video!
Thank you for the welcome intro music as per usual, another wonderful video, and Happy Early Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there!❤☀️
Hi Kevin, my mom and I love watching you together when I’m visiting her in Nevada from where I live in Texas with my wife. Your kindness and beautiful smile make us smile, you make us laugh, and your videos are the perfect nighttime routine to calm down and rest well. Thank you for being a sunny spot in our time together. We need more people like you. Until next time, take care of yourself! 💕
the lime pie can be replaced by lemon juice and a block of cream cheese in place of the cream
Kevin that was dazzling! Loved every minute of the video!
Can you take a casserole dish from the fridge and place it straight in a pre- heated oven?
Looks sooo good omg. ❤
I love the flower arrangements in the soup terrier bowl!❤
❤❤❤🌿🌷looking lovely✨thank you very much Kevin🍀❤❤
Wet the parchment before crumpling. Love these videos!
Just hyped!
My mom has been gone for twenty six years this May 16th. She was a wonderful person and mother. We turned into friends as I became an adult. I didn't have children myself, but was like a mom to my only niece whos mom died when she was a teenager (my sister) My niece is a mom of five girls, one who is a new mom of a one year old baby boy. Too much information, huh? That's the situation with me if anyone relates. I'm in the mood for celebrating these moms this year, as I suspect that they could use a boost and to be acknowledged. Lovely brunch menu! I like all of it. That key lime refrigerator pie does look addictive. I'm a big fan of Eggs Benedict, so I'm sure I would enjoy the casserole. The tablescape looks very nice and beautiful flower arrangement too. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care and see you in the next episode. Enjoy your week.♥️🐕💐🪻🌷🍋🍓🫐🥂☕
