how stinking adorable does that look?? lol
Happy New Year, Beth!! – 3 days before, but ok.. -
can i use chedder and motz combination for the sauce?
I just made this gonna bring it to my relative’s house. But when it came
out of the oven I had to try it! So I had one and it was really good.
Except it wasn’t enough salt for me when I put half a teaspoon. So for the
next Batch I added more salt. And BOOM! They were delicious! And I added
ham instead of bacon, no Kayan pepper and added some bread crumbs on top b4
baking

Okay one more request Beth: could you also show us a meal prep idea ( I
don’t eat bacon/pork) I would love to make a handful of dishes on Sunday
that could last me until Thursday and not taste bad when I reheat them (and
stuff i can look forward to reheating).
Hi Beth! I have been on the lookout for good road trip food to pack that
would be outside of the average chips and candy I think these would be
perfect since they are bite-size and could please everyone from the
children to the adult what I can’t figure out is a good way to pack them do
you have any ideas? Thanks!
Thanks so much for all the hard work that you do for us subbies. Your
recipes are amazing. ..HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family
Hi Beth! I made these for my New Year’s Eve dinner and everyone just loved
them!! Great recipe, thank you very much for the video!
Beth, I don’t eat pork because I’m muslim, so what can I replace the bacon
with?
Beth, this is so delicious. It´s something new for an appetizer. I love
the idea.
Have a wonderful and safe New Year Time with your, Beth!
