0:00
- Y'all, (laughs) we were looking back over the videos
0:06
to see how I made the grape salad
0:10
because you know how bad I am about changing up things
0:13
and adding things to it, and we got so tickled
0:19
because that was when it was called quarantine cooking,
0:23
and Theresa had just started, you know,
0:31
- [Theresa] A prep chef.
0:32
- Yeah. (laughs) - [Theresa] Prepping.
0:33
- Which she had never done before.
0:35
But she into it and just does it beautifully.
0:42
But it took her a while to get comfortable
0:44
and it would drive her crazy because she'd bring me a recipe
0:49
and I'd say, "Oh, that's not my recipe."
0:51
And she said, "Well, it dang sure is." (laughs)
0:54
Because see, I'd already come in and changed it.
0:57
So (laughs) the last one, we had apples in it.
1:02
I don't know what all.
1:03
- [Theresa] You changed everything.
1:05
I didn't realize that until we watched the video,
1:07
but I was like, "Oh my gosh, she did used to do it."
1:10
Now I just know when you're gonna,
1:13
potentially what could go wrong.
1:16
- [Theresa] Or right from your perspective.
1:17
- But see, that's what I like about cooking,
1:20
and I want our friends out there to feel free
1:25
to make these dishes their own and do what-
1:28
- [Theresa] Well, and you've taught me not to freak out
1:31
if I can't find an ingredient, to look it up
1:33
and find something that's an alternative,
1:35
and that's a big deal 'cause, you know, some people
1:38
are so driven by the recipe.
1:40
- They want that recipe.
1:41
They want that recipe to be exact.
1:44
And some people don't like to use a recipe.
1:47
They like to fly by the seat of their pants.
1:51
And that's probably more me.
1:53
But I do wanna take this opportunity to show y'all something
1:57
that Bobby showed me years ago, and I like
2:04
You know, you may find some grape salad recipes
2:06
out there that have you slice 'em in two, but I like...
2:14
I think that releases too much juice.
2:18
So I like to use my grapes whole.
2:24
So I have got two lids that match,
2:28
and you can see this is...
2:30
I've got the top just like it would fit
2:33
on the container with it.
2:38
I wanna get this slap dab full
2:42
and then I'm gonna put this lid
2:47
just like that on top of it.
2:50
And if you've got cherry tomatoes
2:52
or grapes, anything that you need to cut in half,
2:57
this is the easiest way to do it.
3:04
Look at all those grape halves.
3:07
Same thing with cherry tomatoes.
3:09
Oh, that one didn't get under the knife.
3:13
It's perfect, and like just takes a second.
3:19
I did wanna share that with y'all
3:22
because it's not fun standing up and slicing one grape
3:25
or one miniature tomato at a time.
3:34
So, I am gonna make the grape salad
3:41
by the recipe. (laughs)
3:44
I don't see that happening.
3:48
So I'm actually halving this recipe
3:50
because it does make a lot.
3:55
So I've got my softened cream cheese
4:01
and I did put some mayonnaise in that in that last one.
4:06
- [Theresa] Do you need me to get the mayonnaise?
4:09
Let's just try to do it by the recipe. (laughs)
4:15
All right, so I wanna make sure I get this nice and creamy.
4:20
All right, I'm gonna add sugar.
4:24
Is that half that sugar or the whole sugar?
4:27
- [Theresa] No, that's half.
4:28
- Okay, so I just wanna use half.
4:30
- [Theresa] No, no, you can use all of it.
4:32
That's a half the sugars and nuts in the recipe.
4:34
- Oh, okay. Thank you.
4:42
So you can see this is gonna make a big bowl.
4:48
and did this recipe call for maraschino cherries?
4:51
- [Theresa] No, ma'am.
4:52
- And I do like the color
4:56
that maraschino cherries give it.
4:59
But I'm following the recipe, y'all. (laughs)
5:07
So I got that cream cheese and sour cream.
5:11
I got it really beat up good, nice and creamy.
5:16
And now I'm gonna add my cheese,
5:20
and I've got sharp cheese.
5:22
I just kind of cleaned out my cheese drawer.
5:27
I mixed some Monterey jack I think in there
5:30
and the sharp cheese.
5:38
You will fall in love with this salad.
5:43
I bought grapes a couple of weeks ago, y'all.
5:48
And they're called cotton candy grapes.
5:52
Those are the best grapes you will ever put in your mouth,
5:56
and I would to make grape salad with those, using that
6:00
and seeing how that would taste.
6:05
All right, so all we need is a pretty bowl
6:18
So I might put it right back in this bowl.
6:22
Just clean it up a little bit.
6:25
All right, now this is what just takes this grape salad
6:34
is you sprinkle brown sugar
6:46
and that brown sugar will
6:54
It'll start like almost melting.
7:03
Great salad by recipe. (laughs)
7:09
- [Theresa] You did good.
7:10
- Uh-huh, but add some pineapple tidbits
7:12
and some cherry tomato.
7:13
- [Theresa] And mayonnaise.
7:15
- Well, no, I think it's fine without the mayonnaise.
7:25
I do like to let the brown sugar sit for a while on it,
7:32
but maybe next time. (laughs)
7:36
It's delicious, y'all.
7:47
