- Yeah, I'm here with my family, our daughter, Michelle,
0:04
and our grandson Henry, and we're making a meal
0:07
that the whole family will love.
0:10
- It's delicious.
0:11
- First, my pretzel crusted chicken
0:14
with a cheddar cheese sauce.
0:16
Henry will love it.
0:17
And what better side dish than my broccoli and rice pilaf.
0:22
By nook or crook, I'm gonna get Henry to like the carrot.
0:26
So we'll see what he thinks of guineas glazed carrots.
0:30
And for an extra special treat, how bout some brownies
0:34
topped with a Praline Frosting.
0:36
(humming)
0:37
(laughs)
0:40
(upbeat music)
0:51
Today, we're gonna fix a meal y'all this really good
0:54
for Henry and good for our daughter, Michelle,
0:58
because she's got us another boy in here.
1:01
So Michelle, I'm gonna start us off
1:03
with a broccoli rice pilaf.
1:06
I think Henry would like that.
1:07
I think he will take it.
1:08
So if you'll come over here and just kind of rough chop
1:11
that broccoli and papa-
1:14
- Macedonians up?
1:14
- I would love for you to cut the onions.
1:16
I'm going to put a little butter in our pan
1:19
because we're gonna saute these onions.
1:21
- Going to bring Henry to Daniel.
1:23
- Okay.
1:24
Daniel!
1:26
Daniel is our son-in-law y'all,
1:29
Michelle did a great job picking him out.
1:32
I guess you picked him out, or did he pick you out
1:35
or what happened?
1:36
- I picked him out. - You picked him out.
1:37
Well, you did a good day's work honey.
1:40
We're proud to call him son-in-law.
1:42
I'm gonna brown these onions when your dad gets.
1:44
- Okay. - Those ready
1:46
And Michelle, after this gets transparent
1:49
and we're gonna just throw that in and saute that off,
1:53
and then I'm gonna make us some chicken cutlets.
1:56
- Great.
1:57
- Salt crusted chicken.
1:59
- Oh, Henry's going to love those.
2:00
- Henry will love it 'cause Henry loves a pretzel y'all.
2:04
Michelle, I think we're ready for that broccoli now.
2:07
(upbeat music)
2:09
And next we'll get the cross going for our chicken.
2:12
We're gonna need about a cup and a half of crushed Pretzel,
2:16
also you'd stick that in the bag and just beat the heck
2:19
out of it with a rolling pin, okay?
2:22
All right, how's this pot come in papa?
2:24
- Perfect.
2:25
- So let's go ahead and add our rice,
2:27
a cup and a half of rice, Michael,
2:29
and because this is a peel-off,
2:30
we're gonna kind of let it brown just for a second.
2:33
And we're going to use three cups of the chicken bro, papa.
2:38
- You gave the kids a pretty hard time that you might go
2:41
when Michelle and Daniel were first courting.
2:44
- What?
2:45
Kinda, but dads do that.
2:48
Dad's have to do that. - Absolutely.
2:49
- That's part of their job to do that.
2:50
- Now what about your take on it, Michelle?
2:52
(laughs)
2:54
- Looking back on it, I understand all of it,
2:56
now that I have a child, I don't think I'll trust him
2:58
when he brings him his first girl either.
3:00
(laughs)
3:02
- I love it.
3:03
And we're gonna salt and pepper this.
3:06
Please let that come back to our bowl.
3:09
And then we're gonna turn it down a like simmer,
3:11
put the lid on and let it cool, okay?
3:13
- This parcel is for the crust or for the chicken?
3:16
- Let's get some more work and give this to your daddy.
3:19
That will give him something to do.
3:22
- I can't remember exactly how you say it,
3:23
but that's what I'm saying, worried about having two boys
3:25
is because once they take it away, that's it.
3:26
- Oh, so!
3:27
(laughs)
3:28
- You know?
3:29
- What is it that you say?
3:30
- A daughter is a daughter all of her life.
3:32
- Yes.
3:33
- A son is a son until he takes a wife.
3:35
(clattering)
3:37
Sorry y'all, but girls have power.
3:40
I see the way you and Daniel love Henry.
3:43
Y'all not going to have any problem.
3:46
All right.
3:47
You know what?
3:49
I need you to chop up a couple of tablespoons of tum
3:53
and we're gonna do a couple of eggs
3:57
because we're going to dip 'em in our wet frost
4:00
and I'm gonna add a tablespoon of dijon mustard
4:04
'cause this will be good with those pretzels.
4:07
Let's get the chicken cutlets out of here.
4:09
- Where they?
4:10
- Right there they're in that bag.
4:12
- All right, so let's salt and pepper those baby.
4:15
I've been amazed at Henry's palette.
4:19
He really has liked some unusual dishes
4:24
right from the start Henry, Michelle.
4:26
- He has.
4:26
- I'm gonna spray this a little bit here.
4:27
- Well, he pretty much just eats whatever we eat.
4:29
So, I mean-
4:30
- We can just leave it laying in there
4:33
and kind of pat, that's all right.
4:35
Just kind of pat it on, good, that's fine.
4:38
- What I have seen him spit out was egg salad.
4:40
He-
4:41
- Yeah, that is the only thing.
4:42
(laughs)
4:43
- I tried to give him some egg salad the other night.
4:45
- No, you can't trick him with egg salad.
4:48
- What was that?
4:49
Shrimp gumbo, we were eating and not too long ago-
4:50
- Oh my gosh, he loved it.
4:52
He loved it, didn't he?
4:55
(upbeat)
4:57
(splashing)
5:00
Yum, this looks so good.
5:02
- What are you doing good, are they coddled enough?
5:04
- No, I'm just (indistinct).
5:05
(laughs)
5:06
Now that it's have a chance to dry and sack it.
5:10
I'm just gonna reinforce it with a second coat
5:14
and those fine crumbs kind of in the bottom.
5:18
Yum, yeah.
5:20
You wanna get rid of that sweetie
5:22
and we'll see if our grease is bout ready.
5:26
(upbeat)
5:28
(splashing)
5:38
All righty.
5:39
That looks really way good.
5:41
- That does look really good.
5:42
- Now we're gonna just brown this Michelle a little bit
5:45
on each side and then we're gonna put it on our pan
5:48
and we're gonna put the oven on low y'all
5:50
and just kind of let it just like low simmer
5:54
until we're ready to eat.
5:56
So don't anywhere.
5:58
(upbeat music)
5:58
Coming up.
5:59
Glaze carrots, as sweet as my grandson.
6:03
Henry, are you hungry?
6:05
Then we'll see what Henry thinks of our family meal.
6:09
Don't we love a pretzel dipped in chicken.
6:12
- And cheesy, yes.
6:15
And later, the most decadent brownie you'll every eat.
6:19
But when we do it, we do it good.
6:21
(upbeat music)
6:26
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
6:28
And if you do.
6:30
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
6:33
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
6:37
And we'll be right back after the break.
6:46
I'm in here with papa and Michelle today in the kitchen,
6:51
and we're cooking up a meal that hopefully will be good
6:54
for Henry, and the rest of us will love.
6:57
Now we stuck our pretzel coated chicken into the oven
7:01
and we're kind of cooking that like real real, real low,
7:05
'cause we don't want it to dry out.
7:07
We've got our rice pilaf done.
7:09
Now what I wanna do, I think Henry will adore
7:13
Michelle's glaze carrots.
7:15
So if you and your daddy will peel these carrots real quick
7:19
for me and put them in chunks,
7:22
I think I'm gonna make us a cheese sauce.
7:24
- [Michelle] Okay.
7:25
For the chicken.
7:26
How does that sound? - It sounds good.
7:27
- And Michael?
7:29
A couple of tablespoons of butter for me.
7:32
(clanking)
7:33
And if you would just flip on that out
7:34
right there please.
7:36
- Okay.
7:37
- I'm gonna let my buttermilk y'all.
7:39
I'm gonna add a couple of tablespoons of flour
7:41
and then I'm gonna add in the milk, and while I'm waiting
7:45
for our butter, I'm gonna be grating our cheese.
7:47
Oh, I hear Henry.
7:49
Henry!
7:52
Guinea's hurrying.
7:54
Is popping your mama that slowed us down.
7:59
Why not blame them?
8:00
(laughs)
8:03
Y'all hurry.
8:04
You gotta hungry boy.
8:07
Michael, you did a good bit of cooking while your kids
8:10
were growing up.
8:11
Didn't you?
8:12
- You know I did, I did a little bit.
8:15
There was a few things I had that I was really good at.
8:18
Chicken and dumplings-
8:20
- And egg sandwich y'all.
8:21
- Egg sandwich, I can do it pretty serious egg sandwich.
8:25
- Michelle, what was your favorite thing
8:26
that your daddy made?
8:28
- Grubstake.
8:29
(laughs)
8:30
- Grubstake?
8:31
- Michelle's-
8:31
- And twice baked potatoes.
8:32
- Yes.
8:33
- And then barbecues frown.
8:36
- To this day, every Christmas daddy
8:38
still does his twice baked potatoes with the shrimp.
8:42
It takes him all day long, I have to say.
8:44
(laughs)
8:45
- We can't rush an order.
8:46
(laughs)
8:47
- But he does a heck of a job.
8:49
All right, now I've got my flour in with our butter
8:54
and that's gonna tighten this sauce up,
8:58
and I just slowly add that milk, all right.
9:02
Now to this pan, Michael, I'm gonna add you a little butter
9:08
and let's toss those carrots.
9:12
- Okay.
9:12
- Over in here and we're just gonna saute those around.
9:17
- Okay.
9:18
- We're gonna glaze and sweeten these carrots because
9:21
by nook or crook, I'm gonna get Henry to like the carrot.
9:27
So Michael, we gonna have to-
9:28
- How much of apple juice do you want?
9:30
- Let's see, we need about a half a cup of apple juice.
9:34
- You wanna swap? - Yes.
9:35
- Let's swap.
9:36
- I would love to swap with you, thank you.
9:38
And Michelle- - Add this one?
9:40
- Well, well, we're gonna add this cheese to our sauce
9:43
once it starts thickening up.
9:46
So that's coming along with Michelle,
9:47
We're gonna need like three quarters
9:49
of a cup of brown sugar.
9:50
- Okay.
9:51
- And we're gonna wind up using a teaspoon of dijon mustard
9:59
and about a fourth of a teaspoon of a smokey paprika.
10:05
Henry, you hungry?
10:07
Who's your hungry guy?
10:10
Look!
10:13
We're cooking the boy lunch.
10:15
- Need more dijon.
10:16
- We're gonna add that apple juice and a smoked paprika.
10:23
- You can smell it?
10:23
- y'all, this is our son in law, Daniel.
10:26
(laughs)
10:27
He has been occupying Henry Force.
10:29
Henry, turn around and look at, Guinea's friends out there.
10:33
- Everybody's friend.
10:34
- All right, Mikey, just dumped the cheese in there.
10:37
- [Michelle] You'll help me to pull the chicken out?
10:38
- Yes, let's pull the chicken out.
10:40
All right, Michael, we just go cover that,
10:45
cut it down, yes, and let that cook
10:47
for about 15 minutes y'all if Henry gives me 15 minutes.
10:52
That looks yummy.
10:54
So Daniel, I got everybody's take on when you
10:58
and Michelle first met.
11:00
(laughs)
11:02
- Nobody ever intimidated me a day in my life
11:04
until I met her.
11:05
(laughs)
11:08
- Well, where were you?
11:09
I've got to say it worked out perfect.
11:11
- It worked out really good actually.
11:12
(laughs)
11:14
- Y'all, he's found the measuring spoon
11:17
that his mother measured the brown sugar with.
11:20
- That's good and- - He is happy.
11:21
Here, Michelle, let's start fixing our plates
11:25
'cause that baby is hungry.
11:28
Little cheese sauce for pretzel chicken,
11:32
don't we love a pretzel dipped in-
11:34
- Chicken.
11:35
- And cheesy, as precious.
11:38
- Y'all remember what Henry first started eating,
11:40
and he'd see you and he'd say "Mh,"
11:43
when he first saw you.
11:44
(laughs)
11:46
- Tell me who had the goods?
11:48
- I kind of thought it was your name.
11:49
(laughs)
11:53
- [Guinea] Henry.
11:54
- Yo man.
11:58
- He's digging the carrots.
11:59
- Yeah, I knew he would.
12:01
- Try the broccoli.
12:03
- Here, Mikey.
12:06
You wanna taste something delicious?
12:10
How did we all get so fat around here?
12:12
It's the hard bit getting to eat a meal.
12:14
(laughs)
12:15
How did this happen?
12:16
- Yeah man.
12:18
Michelle did you try the meat?
12:19
- It's delicious.
12:21
- Listen, y'all, eat up, 'cause I know it's time
12:23
for Henry's nap and your dad and I are gonna make
12:26
some brownies, so we'll just run them over to y'all.
12:29
- That sounds perfect.
12:30
And can you see bye bye Henry?
12:32
Say bye bye.
12:36
(laughs)
12:39
- Coming up, a well-deserved treat for Guinea and Papa.
12:43
Wonderful sweet chocolaty, buttery brownies.
12:49
(upbeat music)
12:54
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
12:56
and I want to hear from you.
12:57
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
13:00
make by just leaving a short comment below.
13:04
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
13:13
All righty.
13:14
Oh, well we got Henry F.
13:15
Didn't we?
13:16
- Yep.
13:17
- So Michael, I wanna hurry up with these brownies
13:19
because Henry will sleep about an hour,
13:22
so I wanna get these done because I do want him
13:25
to taste them.
13:26
Our mommies of our grandchildren,
13:28
they don't like for us to give them a lot of sweets.
13:30
Do they?
13:32
- Oh, well.
13:33
- So they monitor us pretty closely,
13:34
but I think Michelle will let me give Henry.
13:37
- A little bit. - Two bites.
13:38
- Yeah.
13:39
- Of this wonderful brownie
13:40
with a little prey Ling frosting.
13:43
- Yeah.
13:43
- So when we do it, we do it good, all right.
13:46
So I'm gonna put Michael in charge
13:49
of melton eight one out squares of unsweetened chocolate
13:55
and we'll go add two sticks of butter.
13:58
And Lulu is roaming the kitchen, Michael,
14:01
she's looking for scraps.
14:04
She told me a while ago, I know you had chicken in here.
14:07
(laughs)
14:09
All right.
14:09
So when that starts melting a little bit, Mikey,
14:12
go ahead and drop your buttering in.
14:14
- Okay.
14:15
and while you're doing that, excuse me Lulu,
14:17
I'm gonna start beating up our sugars,
14:20
I'm gonna use two cups of granulated sugar
14:24
and one cup of brown sugar, and I wanna pack that down
14:27
in there good, make sure it's one cup,
14:34
and then I'm gonna need five eggs, all right.
14:38
And then go ahead and throw your butter in there.
14:40
Michael, we love our children.
14:43
Don't we?
14:44
- Oh, yeah, we do.
14:45
- But I'm telling you what?
14:47
Grandchildren.
14:49
- Are they great?
14:50
- What is that about them?
14:51
- I don't know.
14:52
I think when you're the parent, I think you discipline them
14:56
more than when your grandparents.
14:57
When you're grandparents, it's just like you're
15:00
at the fair or something.
15:01
- But I think as grandparents-
15:03
- Not that I don't discipline them,
15:04
but not near like parents.
15:06
Parents have to do it every minute.
15:08
- All right, Well, we don't feel that responsibility
15:11
that you feel as a parent because we can love
15:14
and say, okay, go home to mommy and daddy.
15:16
(laughs)
15:18
All right, I'm gonna move that from the heat.
15:20
- Okay.
15:21
- Because we want that to cool down a little bit.
15:23
- Okay.
15:24
- Because we're gonna add this chocolate to our butter.
15:29
- Right.
15:30
- So if you scoot around here and after I get this beat up.
15:35
- Okay.
15:36
- We're gonna knead one and three fourths cup
15:40
of all purpose flour.
15:42
- Okay.
15:44
- That is perfect.
15:45
All right, now, if you take this fat short
15:47
and just run around this bowl for me.
15:50
(humming)
15:50
Make sure we get all the goods down there.
15:54
- You almost got me.
15:56
- I did. - Yeah.
15:57
(laughs)
15:59
- All right Mikey, it is time to add the chocolate.
16:05
(upbeat music)
16:09
- Y'all. - Y'all.
16:10
(laughs)
16:11
Y'all can look at Michael and tell that he's not eating
16:15
as many sweets as he used to.
16:17
He made up his mind, he was gonna lose a hundred pounds.
16:21
So we still eat very, very good.
16:25
We just allow ourselves like one day a week
16:29
to eat anything we want and this is on Saturday evening.
16:33
(humming)
16:34
(laughs)
16:35
- I know that.
16:36
I can still only have one of these.
16:37
- Oh, that's right.
16:38
No, we're not.
16:39
It's really, it's all about moderation.
16:41
Isn't it?
16:42
All right, now Michael if you'll start on the ganache.
16:45
- Okay.
16:46
There was some heat.
16:48
- Yes.
16:49
To our pot, we're gonna add
16:52
two eight ounce semi-sweet chocolate bars
16:57
and a quarter of a cup of heavy cream.
17:00
And how much heavy cream have darling?
17:03
- I have, I was hoping you'd say it a little quicker
17:05
than what you're saying.
17:06
(laughs)
17:07
- A quarter of a cup of heavy whipping cream.
17:10
- Well, that's what I was thinking.
17:11
(laughs)
17:12
(upbeat music)
17:18
- If you would help me just scrape this into my pan.
17:23
Well, that's melton, oh gosh.
17:25
- You have the bowl?
17:26
- Yes.
17:27
(laughs)
17:28
- We used to fight over the bowl when we were kids.
17:30
- Yes.
17:32
If it's not baked, it doesn't have calories.
17:34
Does it?
17:35
- I didn't win.
17:36
- You didn't win, I won.
17:38
(laughs)
17:39
Wonderful sweet chocolaty, buttery brownies.
17:46
Now I'm gonna put this in the oven y'all on 350,
17:49
and I'm gonna let it bake for about 25 or 30 minutes.
17:52
Michael, would you open that oven door please?
17:56
- I sure will.
17:57
- And we're going in with this because before we know it,
18:02
Henry is gonna be awake and Guinea
18:06
is gonna have him a brownie.
18:09
Coming up, we're making a frosting that takes our brownies
18:13
to a whole new sinful level, y'all.
18:16

18:48

18:49
- Brownies are at the oven y'all, we've got our ganache,
18:52
so Michael, all I'm gonna do is pour our ganache
18:58
over our brownie, and then I'm gonna stick it in the fridge
19:02
and we're gonna let it cool.
19:04
Yes, look at that.
19:07
(bang)
19:07
So now Michael, we're gonna make our prey link frost.
19:10
- Okay.
19:11
- And it's so easy, like a third of a cup of butter.
19:15
- And how much does that cup of butter cost?
19:15
- That looks like a third to me.
19:17
You're measures are a half a cup of whipping cream,
19:21
and while you're doing that I'm gonna put one in a fourth,
19:24
cup of Packed brown sugar.
19:27
- Okay.
19:28
- Well, no, no, not yet.
19:30
- You are so anxious, man, come down.
19:32
- I'm hungry.
19:33
(laughs)
19:34
- Now we're just gonna whisk this.
19:37
Yum, Smelly brown sugar.
19:41
Smells just like a prey link down there.
19:43
- Yes it does.
19:45
- Now you can slowly add our heavy cream like that.
19:48
- Okay.
19:50
- Look, what does that look like?
19:53
- Carmine.
19:53
- Yes it does.
19:56
Now, if you'll kind of take over that whisk,
19:59
I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna measure out
20:01
one cup of powdered sugar and we're just gonna our bowl,
20:05
a cup and a half of p cayenne.
20:08
All right, hit it, Jack. - Really?
20:10
- Okay, that's perfect.
20:13
Now you can add your vanilla.
20:15
- How much?
20:16
- That a teaspoonful.
20:17
(upbeat music)
20:21
You wanna pull out the brownies?
20:23
- Yes, yes, yes.
20:25
- All right, so Michael, a piece for you and a piece on me.
20:31
- Yeah.
20:32
(gentle music)
20:39
- Wish we had some ice cream to cool it down low.
20:42
- Yeah.
20:45
Hey, you're getting my bite.
20:47
- I was getting it for you.
20:50
(indistinct)
20:53
- I'm getting my own bite.
20:54
(laughs)
20:56
How's that?
20:57
- Delicious.
20:58
- Oh, I heard you swallow in.
20:59
(laughs)
21:01
Swallowing is a good sign y'all,
21:04
when you can hear your man's swallowing hard.
21:07
(upbeat music)
21:13
- I may hold off on altering my clothes for a while.
21:15
(laughs)
21:20
