0:00
- Y'all it's hard to believe that we're inching towards the
0:04
You know, once Halloween gets here, it's New Year's Eve!
0:09
You know? It goes so fast,
0:13
and I always, always love
0:16
making Ambrosia at the holidays.
0:19
I think it's so good, and I found that none of my family
0:25
Now that Ollie is big enough, she would eat it
0:30
cause she loves fruit so.
0:32
And I think maybe Davis might be a candidate
0:35
for Ambrosia as well.
0:38
But they might be the only two out of all the...
0:41
I don't know, Madison may - Maddy's an eater.
0:45
She's going be an eater.
0:48
So maybe her. I may have three that would, would eat it.
0:51
But you know, I got to thinking, well,
0:55
how can we make Ambrosia maybe savory
1:02
along with chicken because everybody knows that chicken
1:05
and pineapple go together, right?
1:09
- So this is what I came up.
1:15
That was four cups of chicken.
1:20
And I have a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple.
1:25
Just want to make sure that's good and drained.
1:31
Okay. I have a half a cup - I think it's a half a cup.
1:35
What did I do? What did I do?
1:37
No, one cup. One cup of sweetened, shredded coconut,
1:48
- [Theresa] That's actually lime juice.
1:52
It's got a tad-looking little green cast to it.
1:56
Thank you for keeping me straight, Theresa.
1:59
And now we're going get her back.
2:02
- [Theresa] Oh, you are!
2:04
- Because the last recipe I did
2:06
out of Paula Deen's Cooking Bible,
2:10
She had me out toasted almonds
2:17
and she said that I toasted and almost burned.
2:20
And she just told me a minute ago. She said, guess what?
2:24
I gave you the almonds for the chicken and rice casserole
2:27
and it's supposed to be in the Chicken Ambrosia.
2:31
- [Theresa] So we're just adding it in.
2:34
- So, here we go. Those have cooled off nicely.
2:38
So we can throw that in.
2:40
And we've got our mayonnaise. A half a cup of mayonnaise.
2:46
And if you need more, you can add it.
2:55
So this will... if you wanna make it tonight
3:00
for a luncheon meal the next day, it will hold good.
3:05
It it'll hold at least 8 hours.
3:09
I would think it would be fine.
3:13
So I feel like I'm in Hawaii.
3:20
- [Theresa] It's a good combination.
3:20
- Uh-huh. It's a great combination.
3:24
And put it on some butter lettuce - Ooh doggies.
3:31
It's going to be so good.
3:35
All right, I think I've got everything in it that goes.
3:39
Let's see. Four cups of chopped chicken breast,
3:42
a can of crushed pineapple drained,
3:45
one cup of sweetened coconut.
3:49
I had either a half or a third.
3:52
Oh, look at this. Ain't that a coinkydink.
3:55
My glasses around my neck.
4:00
Half a cup of slivered almonds,
4:03
three fourths a cup of mayonnaise,
4:05
a tablespoon of fresh lime juice,
4:07
salt, and eight maraschino cherries for garnish.
4:11
2, 4, 6... 2, 4, 6, 8...
4:15
You gave me 10 maraschino cherries.
4:17
- [Theresa] Well, okay. I overdosed.
4:22
- [Theresa] They say those are optional,
4:23
Or you say those are optional, I guess I should say.
4:26
- [Theresa] I read the recipes.
4:29
- Yes. You can serve it any way you want to.
4:33
But if you're trying to get the children to eat it,
4:35
a maraschino cherry would be kind of enticing. You know?
4:43
And I'm gonna try me a little bit right here.
4:53
Don't ask me to leave off a cherry, 'cause I'm not.
5:04
And how easy, how easy was that, y'all?
5:13
And I don't have to wait for it to cool off.
5:18
It's truly delicious, y'all.
5:26
Maybe this recipe will get you kind of primed up
5:28
to make your Ambrosia for the upcoming holidays.
5:33
I need to make Ambrosia one day. So good.
5:38
Before we go, I want to share something with y'all.
5:46
The other day - I received it yesterday
5:51
from a lady that is the manager of our store
5:54
in Foley, Alabama, located in OWA.
6:00
And she said the idea was hers,
6:03
but the workmanship was totally her father's.
6:07
He's 80 years old. His name is Stu, which I'm sure
6:11
is short for Stewart, I would think.
6:16
And this is Kristin Smith.
6:20
She just got married and now carries the name Smith.
6:24
She is a manager of the gift store there at Foley.
6:29
Such a sweet, sweet girl.
6:32
And I want to show y'all what Kristin had her father
6:36
make for me, and it just...
6:39
Kristin, can I tell you this just touched me to the core.
6:46
There are some just wonderful, good people out there.
6:50
And Kristin and her father,
6:53
we're lucky to have Kristen there at Paula Deen
6:56
Family Kitchen in Foley, Alabama.
6:59
Look what her daddy made.
7:01
Stu - 80 years old made that stained glass for me.
7:07
I don't know what gave him the idea
7:09
of putting butter up there
7:13
So Kristin, you're so sweet.
7:17
And give your dad a great big kiss for me
7:21
and tell him, I just love my stick of butter so, so much.
7:26
And I hope to see y'all before too, too long.
7:30
Hopefully everything will start calming down out there
7:33
and we can kind of get back to normal with our living.
7:38
But thank you, Kristin.
7:39
Thank you for loving us
7:42
and loving your part that you do at our store.
